KU magic number: 1

[clonetone]

Amazing to me that after everything that has happened this season, KU's "magic number" is just 1 to continue the streak to 12 straight years of winning at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title. They can clinch it Saturday at home against Texas Tech (or at Texas or vs. Iowa State next week if needed, but you have to think it will be this weekend).

I hate KU and I thought this could be the year. But as ISU, OU, WVU, BU, etc. all stumbled, KU did not. So I tip my cap to KU and I hope again that ISU will be the one to end their streak whenever that might be.

And I hope ISU extends its own streak to 3 for consecutive wins of the Big 12 tournament title this year too.

It's KU's basketball world, the Big 12's just living in it. They are clutch. They come together when it matters and get the big time wins. They protect home court.

Ugh.

KU BIG 12 REFS F*** THE LEAGUE AGAIN!

The phantom three still stings. Having said that, the only thing that really matters is the conference tourney.

Bird. Bird is the word.


That being said, Bill Self is either a hell of a coach or a hell of a recruiter (or both). He also has something Prohm doesn't, a bench he trusts.

Until Prohm develops a bench he trusts on the floor to give the starters some minutes resting, ISU will continue to foul out of the lead and wear themselves out against teams with deeper benches.

FIFY

Self has better players, more of them than others in the league, and he's a fine coach. AFH is in everyone's head as a place visitors lose. That's a pretty good formula for success.

Does the Big 12 reward a trophy to the regular season champ?

I really hoped this would be the year that the Big 12 season champion would be decided by the Iowa State game at the Allen Fieldhouse. Even if we couldn't win it, I really hoped we could be the spoiler.

Does the Big 12 reward a trophy to the regular season champ?

Yes, and it's much more important than the conf tourney one. Amazes me our fans say otherwise.

**** KU, **** Iowa, **** the refs, **** huggy thug ball.

Also **** Self, **** KU fans, **** KU trolls on this board.

However, congrats to Perry Ellis.

But I still hope Georges ruins senior night for him.

I'd love to see Iowa State knock Kansas off of its pedestal. However, if ISU doesn't do it I would be fine with any other team not named West Virginia. They do not deserve a Big 12 Title. They do not play basketball..
