Kansas doesn't seem like typical kansas this year

poor beakers can't sing their creepy chant

The conspiracy theorist in me sees a very tightly called game Saturday in Houston allowing the possibility of the Big XII to showcase
Houston- Kansas
Iowa St- Baylor
In the semifinals.

Tell a younger me (even 2023 younger me) that I would be rooting for a 7 loss underdog KU team to defeat a new conference member currently in 1st place to potentially give ISU a shot at the Big 12 regular season conference championship on final day?

Well, let's just say I'll take it.

Why does the game Saturday matter for that?

 

[awd4cy]

KU is 3 games behind us, and probably 4 after Saturday. That’s hilarious

For that semi to happen Kansas need to climb from the 6 to the 4 or 5 seed.

 

[rosshm16]

Saturday would be a great time for them to play like Typical Kansas IMHO.

Shout out to @EvilBetty for sniffing the smell of sickness in Lawrence early in the conference season.

I may have to cheer for Kansas and grit my teeth at the same time.

Hey thanks. Now watch, they'll get boumced round 1 of the big 12 tourney and still make an elite 8 run.

**** kansas

Fixed it:

 

[Halincandenza]

Now both Dickinson and MCcullar hurt. They won’t win another game

 

[rosshm16]

What happened to Hunter D?

 

[RagingCloner]

What happened to Hunter D?

Dislocated shoulder. Has an MRI today/tomorrow to see if there’s any more damage

 

[Dandy]

Crazy how Kansas and Kentucky aren’t as powerful now that everyone can get paid…

 

[rosshm16]

Yes it's a real mystery on why KU has their least-successful team in years after three years of everyone being able to pay players above-water. Can't figure it out!

Crazy seeing how many guys we have playing big minutes off the bench this year (typically 3) while Kansas has typically had had 4 of their starters playing 30+ minutes and only one guy off the bench getting 10+. I'm not a recruiting class analyst, so I can't say if it's NIL leaving the stable with fewer horses, some development issues or a combination of those things. We couldn't play defense at our level without that depth. Kansas is running on fumes. If Dickinson is really hurt they are sunk.

Kansas had several recruiting misses.

That has nothing to do with it. Also Kentucky is still loaded with 5 star talent.

Haha, this wasn't a foul on Houston. Wow.
