KUsports.com - KU tops Big 12 preseason men's hoops poll

Do you really think we'll be that far back?

wish they would have picked us last tho..

I see us finishing somewhere in that 7th-10th range. Too many new additions and lack of backcourt depth. I think we win a game or two more than last year because we should do well in the nonconference record wise, but we have our hands full in the Big 12.

We will be better than Nebraska.

Way I see it, we are almost a complete unknown this preseason. They don't have much choice but to pick us last nor near last.

Agreed and they know we lost Taylor, who on paper was either our best player or easily second best. I'd have a hard time predicting us much better if I was in charge of doing so. I think we are better than Nebraska and Colorado, but outside of that who knows. We could be better than Ok State, Baylor, and maybe OU. There's a lot of unknown about the Big 12 this year.

All I know, is that we will be better when we play Kansas. I >almost< like watching jayhawkfan as much as I like seeing hawkfan getting crushed.

Shriek "rotten jock, jayhawk!" in my ear for 3 hours continuously, will you?!

I think the pre-season stuff is accurate. We have a lot of unknowns, especially in our backcourt, I expect us to be very competitive and fun to watch just like last season.

Pre-season polls mean absolutely NOTHING, just a chance to sell magazines and internet subsciptions

**Skyh13** · 10-12-2007, 10:11 AM

Yeah, in no way do I see us finishing 11th in the Big 12 this year... I think we could definitely be middle of the pack. Sure, we lost some proven production in Taylor, and we're real young, but the guys we have are certainly talented.

11th seems about right...
