Dang those moving screens. If KU ever gets a ref that calls those regularly they will be in a mess.
Kentucky lost that game more than Kansas won itJay Bilas said “Kansas is a really good team..you saw what they did to Kentucky….” 🤣
Dickerson would have fouled out of the game in one offensive trip about 15 times during our game v Kansas if they would have called the moving screens he was part of. No shit. It was comical.Kansas having a bad season would be o so sweet…
They did return their whole team pretty muchIt's kind of frustrating to watch Marquette close the deal up double digits when we couldn't. There's no reason we shouldnt have won by 15-20 too.

The game plan was good, Harris is never hitting 5 3s in a game again. Marquette had shot blocker to minimize mistakes we didn’t, that why marquette could take gambles and not pay for themIt would have been really cool if Calipari would’ve drawn up a game plan that involved covering Harris on the perimeter.
Got no open looks tonight.
They didn't have anyone on their team playing hero ball, so it was much easier for them to do what we should have done.It's kind of frustrating to watch Marquette close the deal up double digits when we couldn't. There's no reason we shouldnt have won by 15-20 too.
Yes, some here are quite strange. They’re giddy over SEC teams losing and somehow think it’s a good thing for Kansas to lose. They are just not thinking these things through. For me, it’s all about building your tournament resume and getting the best seed. Thus, you want every SEC team going undefeated in the non-conference and every non-conference opponent you face to go unbeaten in their other games.So, #1 Kansas losing after they beat UK suggests maybe we aren't that good? And we're happy? I'm confused.
Don't get me wrong, I hate Bill initforhimSelf, Hunter Dick-in-his-son, and the Jailhawks in general. But, how does this help us? (Aside from the overall wins thing, which is kinda dumb anyway and % is a better measure due to number of games played.)
Based on coaching.From Twitter
“The college basketball media egregiously groupthinked a Kansas team with zero depth, no Top 20 NBA draft picks, minimal shooting, & a #1 option who failed to lead his team to any success in consecutive yrs at his last school as the preseason No. 1.”
Totally agree. It sort of beating a high ranked team then yelling, "over rated". In other words, they had to be over rated or you could not have beaten them.Yes, some here are quite strange.

It’s really that simple.
Comparing our game versus Kansas and Purdue is a fools errand. Don't over think it. We could have easily won that game with a bounce or two the other way.So, #1 Kansas losing after they beat UK suggests maybe we aren't that good? And we're happy? I'm confused.

It’s called a Rivalry. It’s not hard to figure out. Ohio St and Michigan won’t ever root for the other to win. Same with UK and KU.Yes, some here are quite strange.

What is so confusing about wanting your rival to lose every game they play? It’s called a rivalry. And how is the all time wins thing dumb? It’s called bragging rights.So, #1 Kansas losing after they beat UK suggests maybe we aren't that good? And we're happy? I'm confused.

Absolutely. It was easier for them to play as well as they could play against UK with our biggest player being Tre Mitchell. Marquette played 2 6'11 guys to counter Hunter. One of them, Oso Ighodaro led Marquette with 21 points, 9 rebounds & 2 blocks. This is why I would favor a rematch with Kansas in the Tournament if UK has just 1 of their bigs in the lineup.As I was watching Kansas in that game, it's clear to me they played about as well against UK as they can play. They made shots they don't usually made- that's a big one. Those threes late in the game that erased a lead were huge, and not the usual. Marquette also had an answer for Dickinson whereas UK didn't at that time. Hopefully we will soon. Anyway, we could have won that game anyway. Had we been ready for late game situations better, we would have won that game. Bottom line, though, Kansas really isn't as great as I thought.
I explained the answer to your first question in my initial post.What is so confusing about wanting your rival to lose every game they play? It’s called a rivalry. And how is the all time wins thing dumb? It’s called bragging rights.
You misread my post. Unsurprising. Your reply is irrelevant.Comparing our game versus Kansas and Purdue is a fools errand. Don't over think it. We could have easily won that game with a bounce or two the other way.
It will happen in the tournament watch. Dickinson will foul out one game.Dang those moving screens. If KU ever gets a ref that calls those regularly they will be in a mess.
Hard to defend 4 on 8.Kentucky lost that game more than Kansas won it
The All-Time wins is meaningless in comparison to potential resume issues for the season for you? I'd be fine with Kansas and UNC losing out the rest the way. If we are truly good enough come March I am not overly concerned about seeding. They usually just screw us anyway.Yes, some here are quite strange.

So there is no value in your mind to be #1 by both measures?I explained the answer to your first question in my initial post.
The all-time wins thing is a flawed metric because they've played close to 200 more games than us. We're back ahead in that by a small margin, but winning % is a better measure because of the difference in number of games played. Simple math.
