Texas and KSU looked pretty good

[Dryburn]

KU was outstanding. I don't see who in the Big 12 is going to come within 10 points of them, home or away.

Sweeping OU or WVU is no easy task.

Not easy, not hard

They'll be in some tight games, and maybe even lose a couple, because that's how it works but nobody else will sniff the conference championship if they remain healthy.

WVU sucks this year and OU lost to Stephen F. Austin at home.....


Another note: Southern beat Texas A&M today....that will help the RPI a little.

WV is very young, Huggy will have them playing tough but I'm glad we get them at home early. I don't see sweeping them. This ISU team has struggled away from Hilton against anyone with a pulse, I won't count any road games as automatic wins just yet. Plus, who have we beat?

Nobody and not close to anyone with a pulse.

Nobody and not close to anyone with a pulse.

Going by the KenPom rankings, BYU is by far and away the best team we've beaten so far, and they are currently at 72 in those rankings and projected to win 20 games, so I would disagree with them not having a pulse, although they might not be a NCAA tournament team.

We've beaten all the teams we were supposed to beat and lost to the teams we were supposed to lose to so far. That does nothing to differentiate us from all the other 9-3 teams at this point in the season.

Someone will beat them but they still will end up winning the conference pretty easy. I really like that Ben McLemore they have. Bill Self even said that he is the best freshman he has ever had.

KU could go 18-0 in conference play this year and I wouldn't be surprised.

[Clones21]

How sweet would it be to take KU down first game in Big 12?

So Sweet! The sweetest imo

If it happens, this is the year, since I'll be there.

Today was just the type of day the Big XII needed. Two wins over top 10 teams, one on the road. Even Texas playing at MSU will help out the conference RPI. The Big XII down is down but it's not Pac 12 down. I still think the conference will get 4 or 5 teams in.

Yes, and after the KU and K-State wins combined with Illinois's loss to Mizzou, perhaps the Big Ten is not as good as advertised and the Big Twelve not as weak.

Ben McLemore has been excellent so far. KU played in front of 19,100 in Columbus against an Ohio State team that featured a preseason 1st team AA, and McLemore was clearly the best player on the court. I wouldn't be shocked to see him win Big 12 POY as he continues to improve every week it seems.

[Karsten21]

We know how things can change pretty quick when conference play starts. Lets just hope we end up with around 12 conference wins!!

They may wish they had more depth in the front court because once you get past Withey and Young, they have only two frosh, Ellis and Traylor; these two may turn out to be good players but right now they have little experience.
