Another Monday, another Top 25 showdown at the Phog:
Big Monday: OU @ KU 8 pm ESPN
- Thread starter cycophagus
- Start date
They had a lot of fun on ESPNU radio this afternoon talking about the friendly officiating at the Phog, given KU got 35 FG attempts to WVU's 2 on Saturday. Very entertaining, corruption is!
This doesn’t look like this will be a game. The National player of the year already missed a layup.
With the new rankings today, Oklahoma is not ranked. I still can't believe they aren't on the bubble yet. They have been terrible for awhile now. They do have some good wins, but they should squarely be on the bubble right now. Plus, they're about to get rolled tonight.
Not a KU fan. But if I was, Lagerald Vick would be my favorite player. Definitely a smooth operator, and has been a positive factor in the J-squawks return to form of late,
Good point. And I heard on the radio earlier they haven't won in Lawrence since 1993. A quarter of a century ago.
It’s crazy really. Their 11 losses after tonight should mean something too.
I still don't get the love for Trae Young. He can be a good 3pt shooter, but he's so hell bent on chucking **** from all over the place, it brings his average down significantly. His overall shooting % is terrible. His number purely come from his crazy high usage rate, which sits close to 40%. He's not that transcendent to have that high of a usage percentage. Give Wigginton the ball as much as him, and I bet his numbers look great, too.
I don't think he will do much in the NBA. Whoever said the kid from Duke who plays for the Timberwolves, was spot on, because that is exactly who he is.

These last couple of years are starting to make me question Lon Kruger. I think he’s failed with this years team. There is plenty of talented players outside of Trae that are being criminally underutilized.
Iowa State this year was supposed to be OU last year, which meant they were just talented but the next season should be right back on track.
Hopefully ISU's follow up to a down year is better next season.
OU spiked early and I usually like their teams but this collapse is hard to watch. I have a conspiracy that Kruger had to take a huge risk by taking a talent like Young with knowing he might not be great for the nucleus or foundation established the season prior. I know he has all these stats but does it really help the team?
He could be good for them, as he is a talented player, but not talented enough to do what he does. Lon definitely didn't rein him in and make this about the team, it was all around Young, and you can see that now. They have been a train wreck for awhile now. No team chemistry at all. That's on Lon.
