Kansas fans have already started

[K-Town Kat]

Kentucky killed Kansas and beat Texas solid.

Tennessee and Georgia beat Kansas St.

South Carolina beat Iowa St.

Hell, I watched a horrendous Missouri team take Okla St down to the friggin last buzzer.

Like the South Carolina team that blistered Iowa St. You are familiar with Iowa St, thecteam that beat the piss out of KU last week.

 

[Woodford Reserve 126]

It seems like Kansas is one of those teams that can play with just about anyone if it hits shots (see: today's game at Texas), but if the threes aren't falling, then it is capable of losing in dramatic, Bear Stearns type fashion--like they did against Temple and us.

honestly, this doesn't seem like a vintage, Bill Self choke-artist team. I actually think it has some potential. and by that, i mean that Kansas could possibly get out of the 1st round if it has things going from the 3 point line.

 

[WildmanWilson_rivals]

Kansas thought they could play with us man to man and take it to the rim. WRONG...They were too stupid to make adjustments and were completely shell shocked by games end. I think they would make it a closer game because they know what they did before was the worst move ever. They still would be outmatched and lose. They just are not as good as UK. Period.

You were a missed 3-pointer away from losing to Mississippi State. Anybody can beat anybody if they hit their shots.

and you guys are a made 3-pointer from only having 2 titles EVER.

Sometimes games come down to last shots, actually it happens alot. But just messing around with you because I know you're not as obtuse as that dumbass kneeburns, who we are still waiting for an answer from regarding who other than KU has won a title in recent times ?

Seeing as how 3 SEC teams have won a total of 6 titles since anyone in the B12 other than KU has, that guy might want to keep his mouth shut about conferences.

and 11 missed three pointers away from losing to you guys. I guess I see your point.

 

[jackcarlson]

I really don't think KU wants to play us again. The happiest teams in the entire NCAAT will be the ones that do not wind up in our bracket. That way they at least have a shot at hanging a Final Four banner.

 

[Big Blue 1977]

They can puff all they want. Self and his team want no part of UK in the tournament. We'd beat them by 20 again.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

So...and let me get this straight...a 39 point beat down is a fluke?
Next, I suppose they'll be saying they just ran out of time.

Ohhhhh! RKO outta nowhere!

That was absolutely a time to rush the court. We were undefeated number 1 going into that game. They were having a movement. They had sucked for decades. Last second wins are pretty exciting.

 

[BigBoyBlueMMA]

I would like the opportunity to disprove their illogical conclusions in the NCAA tourney AGAIN!

 

[truebluewildcat_rivals34254]

Go ahead and put them in our bracket as the 2 or 3 seed...

if they're feeling really brave and want to have a party...let's throw in teams like Bradely, Norhtern Iowa, VCU, and Bucknell, and get crazy...

8 pts is a fluke...40 pts is not...they've improved, so have we...I think a 12 - 16 pt victory the second time is reasonable...

 

[Dward13]

Kansas is better than when we played in November. But unless Cliff Alexander and Perry Ellis grow 3 inches a piece in the next 2 months that's not a game that would go well for Kansas.

We didn't just beat them that bad because we were better than them. We beat them badly because we were better AND a terrible matchup.

I realize Texas has size too but their bigs are nowhere near as mobile or versatile as Kentucky's.

That said this Kansas team has the same fate in store as most of their teams under Self. Outside of Alexander they play with very little emotion.

SEC has THREE teams winning SIX titles in the last 21 seasons.

B-12 has ONE team with ONE title in the same timeframe.

You are not very good at this.

It's easy to talk when you don't have to back it up. If we play again the talking will quiet down as soon as they get hit in the mouth. At some point you gotta step in the ring.

Kansas is playing better. Is it enough to overcome the defense that held them to 40 points? Nope.

 

[catfanblu]

They improved by 1 point.

 

[Woodford Reserve 126]

I mean Temple almost beat KU as bad we did. Kansas is and will remain a joke until proven otherwise in the Dance.

 

[UKCatsFan10]

I think the margin of victory over KU was kind of a fluke, but handling them easily was not. I don't think we are consistently 32 points better than them, but to say that the win itself was a fluke is absurd. They are undoubted playing better than they were when we faced off in Indy, but they aren't playing against UK's defense either. That makes any team improve.

Please tell me you are not UK fan or that you are just joking. If not, you are the first UK fan who has ever thought that rushing the court after winning under any circumstances is not ridiculous...especially for a program that was once considered among the "prestigious" programs. IU has proven by that mindless act that they are no longer relevant. It's kind of like a "you know you're a redneck" Foxworthy jokes. "You know your program is irrelevant if it rushes the court after beating a team on your own home court with a buzzer beater".

Sounds much like what happened in 2011-12. We beat them early in the season and then as the season went on they forgot how we beat them and started feeling good about themselves. We met again the the tourney and we beat them again for the #8. Hope they make it to the Championship again

Gotta love Kansas fans bragging about their sad little conference that:

1.) Other than Kansas themselves, has never managed to actually accomplish anything of note.
2.) Doesn't have a single team that can actually beat Kansas, despite (as we well know) Kansas being pathetically easy to slaughter.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Well they aren't just going to give up on their season. For a program like Kansas, the hope is always to win a national title (not the expectation but the hope). Admitting that Kentucky is that much better than their team goes against the "blueblood" DNA, no matter how many times we beat them. Let them have their hope - deep down, they know it's going to take quite a bit of luck for them to advance further than Kentucky.

 

[LineSkiCat]

Not worried about Kansas in the slightest, but they have a chance to get that #1 seed, believe it or not.

Yes, the Big12 has some ranked teams, but that entire conference just bends over for them. All their hard away games are out of the way (Baylor, Texas, ISU). Obviously Kansas doesn't have much room for losses, if any. But I think I'd pick them as my "dark horse" for the last #1 seed. They are playing well, and have the talent that appears to be coming together.

 

[Kiimohawk]

I would agree with you that the Big 12 is overrated. I would also agree with you that the SEC is underrated.

But let's just be clear here, nobody actually believes that the SEC is currently better than the Big 12, right? Because I hope not.

I do.

SEC could kick Big 12's *** in a fist fight.

Sounds like a very exciting thing to have happen. Might cause the average person to react with giddy emotion. What if that team had been a rival, undefeated and ranked number 1, that had beaten your team regularly for your entire life? I don't condone most of the stuff that happened that day, but to expect those kids not to rush the floor, especially with the way it ended, is foolish.

Kansas will not be a threat to us this year.

 

[Jonathan40330]

I, for one, am hoping UK comes across both Iowa State and West Virginia in the NCAA tourney, so that we can just beat the entire upper echelon of the Big XII. Maybe they will give us an honorary Big XII title.

 

[Kiimohawk]

No blue blood should rush the court after a regular season victory. It's almost as embarrassing as creating rings for a Sweet 16 appearance.

C'mon.

 

[RacerX.ksr]

Tomorrow is the 12th anniversary of Kansas rushing the floor after defeating Texas. Next?

 

[jwheat]

or hanging helms titles

Helm's hangers here talking about how blue bloods should act, and on the eve of the 12th anniversary of his team rushing the court.

No but the perceived gap between the two conferences is not nearly as wide as the national media would have you believe.

Kentucky would clearly be the class of the Big 12 this season (destroying KU and handling Texas with relative ease).

Looking at the Big 12/SEC Challenge (which the Big 12 won 6-4), the only truly impressive win for the Big 12 was Iowa State easily beating Arkansas. Unless I am supposed to be impressed by KU coming back from 18 down to beat what appears to be an NIT Florida team (at best); or Baylor squeaking by Vandy?

For the SEC, LSU beat WVU on its home floor and South Carolina destroyed Oklahoma State. Tennessee also beat the current 2nd place Big 12 school, Kansas State. Outside of the Challenge, South Carolina also easily beat Iowa State, which is a nice feather in the SEC's cap/thorn in the Big 12's side.

There's also the fact that in the 2014 NCAA Tournament the Big 12 had two Sweet 16 schools; the SEC had three. The Big 12 had zero Elite 8/FF teams; the SEC had two. I know that is last year but at some point the media needs to call the Big 12 what it is: Kansas followed by a bunch of ho-hum-we-need-to-fill-the-37-at-large-spots-with-someone type teams - aka teams with Sweet 16 ceilings, with the occasional Elite 8 team not named Kansas. It is not some super conference that the media has suddenly made it out to be.

In fact, the Big 12 has only had one winning NCAA tournament record in the past four tournaments.

Meanwhile, since 2010 only one major conference has had a winning NCAA Tournament record each year: the SEC.

(I will admit that is skewed by Kentucky and Florida's success but take away the top two teams from every league and what do you get? Especially the Big12 - I shudder to think what the tournament success looks like for that conference without Kansas).

Probably not, but you can almost never use the word "nobody" or "never". Even I, probably the loudest voice on this issue have repeatedly admitted that overall the B-12 is better than the SEC this year. Just not by a great margin.

 

[KneeBurns]

Lol Kiimo, trying to make friends. Every datapoint says the Big 12 is the best and SEC is far back, normally 5th. They have 1 ranked team. Sad.

[.S&C.]

I don't usually agree with Kiimo but yea you have it about right.

The SEC is probably not quite as good as the BIG12. But the gap is nowhere near as wide as some would think.

I've said it all year and I'm glad people are finally starting to understand what the SEC really is. I feel like myself and caneintally have fought the good fight to a win haha.
