Meanwhile Kansas beats Eastern Illinois by 8

Yeah, sometimes in an early season like that, before teams have had a chance to play much yet, they don't really know what to expect. It just so happened that UK didn't realize how good they could be yet and KU got a performance out of a guard they may never get again and thought they were better than they really are.

It's an early season game...you play a season to prepare for the end. Uconn lost 5 of 6 in December last year. Everyone moved on and didnt obsess over the past...look what happened

Also the transitive property isn't real, otherwise I can make it to where a church league team would somehow beat the warriors
 
Meh, let it go. People on here can gripe and moan about beating Eastern Illinois by only eight, but as of November 29, 2023 UK still has no answer for Dickinson. 27 points and 21 rebounds. That game is in the rear view mirror, but more than a few are letting KU live rent free in your head.
 
We won't get them again. We will both be highly seeded and they will flame out by the Sweet 16 with out Big 10/12/14/16 refs to help

I hate KU with the fire of a 1000 suns, especially after working at KU for 5 years and marrying a jayhawk. To be fair, we needed OT to beat SJU, so we can't really knock them for winning by 8 vs EIU

Dude SJU is in the Atlantic 10. That’s a good league. I’ve never even heard of Eastern Illinois.

Only reason they won is we had noone to guard Dickenson. Just one of our bigs would have evened it out enough for us to get the W.

Really unbelievable what Harris did against us and what he has done the rest of the season. 23 points on 5-6 from 3. 6 other games he has a combined total of 19 points on 1-9 from 3.

Guy had beer muscles that night.

We should employ the same strategy we did against Miami against practically everyone going forward, even if they aren’t great 3-point shooting teams. Run them off the 3pt line. We score so much that teams cannot hope to beat us without making a bunch of 3’s (whether they normally do or not). It wasn’t Dickinson that beat us, it was the 3’s we gave up.
