Kansas @ Kansas State

I would appreciate a trigger warning next time.

You are right. I apologize. I should have put it in a spoiler.

I believe you're a Chuckd-lite-Ku dude. Your logic is silly. Is there an ignore function, anyone?

How is that logic silly? Do you not understand there is more games than one on KSU and ISU's schedule?

 

[Halincandenza]

If he thinks his team beats ISU, then he believes they don't lose four more. Is that easier for you to comprehend?

Why? That's is dumb. They are more likely to lose on the road than at home. Why would winning a game they are going to be favored in decide the league?

K state's small lineup with Wade at the 5 is hand down their best lineup. They sped KU up and made them play sloppy. Diarra brings a ton of energy.

I think everyone gets speed up and sloppy when they have Diarra! Lol

 

[jcyclonee]

Because it's a bigger accomplishment to come out on top in a 16-game 2 month slog vs. getting hot in a 3 day single elimination tournament.

And KU has placed more emphasis on it for the rest of the Big 12. If we are the ones to end the streak, we will get a LOT of national publicity.

18 game. We aren't the big ten, we play everyone twice

I think most people want to deny that Baylor is part of our conference right now.

It’s not dumb, it’s basic math.

 

[jcyclonee]

Man it's going to take a major turnaround for KU to keep the streak going. Easily the worst coaching season I've ever seen Self have

First it was Alexander, then Diallo and now McCormack. KU, where McDonald's AA bigs go to under perform

These posts don't seem to be working. Have you tried saying his name 3 times in the mirror?

You are right. I apologize. I should have put it in a spoiler.

If there was a one game series to decide the league, then yeah, it would be basic math. Here is a question for you... will that game determine the outcome of all the other games played?

I think UAB got another rebound due to that post.

Alternate math

Thanks. Yes, I was right there in row 5. Ears still ringing this morning.

I continue to believe ISU in Manhattan will decide the conference championship, one way or another. They are the best two. Ku is a very good team but missing several purchases. Had they played 'man' last night, K-State would have run them out of the gym. They're just not the same without their bigs which leaves the door open to the States.

This league is too strong to assume that one game is going to decided the entire season. The Texas and TCU's of the conference will have just as much say in deciding who wins it then one game. Expecting tournament teams like that to lose every single game to teams ahead of them isnt plausible.

Heck, KState will be dogs their next two games and they are on the road. Decent chance when ISU plays them they will need to beat ISU to pull even in the standings.

Yeah, I could easily see Texas knocking off both Baylor and K-State in Austin in the next week. Texas has more talent than Baylor and is ranked right around both of them in computer rankings.

I guess I shouldn’t assume it’s basic for everyone.

Which is why Monday was such a good win. The teams like Texas and OU that are flirting with the bubble are going to bring it whenever they are facing the top teams in the conference. KSU and Baylor (and us) are going to take team’s best punches from here on out.

So you won't answer that question? Figures. I will ask it again though. How does losing one game determine the outcome of all the remaining games whose outcomes are independent of the other?

Saying one game wins the league this may games left is like saying, if I can only get one lottery number right I think I will win the whole thing.

Yeah, that was a huge road win. I've seen Oklahoma still showing up on alot of tournament projections as a 9 seed. They've been struggling lately but still have a solid resume. They will knock off some teams ahead of them in the 2nd half of conference play.

Those loses to bad teams was before they were at full strength

Most were, yes, but they got drubbed by Texas at home by 20 (just missing Wade) and lost to a pretty bad aTm team at full strength.

No Wade, no Stokes in the Texas loss. No explanation for aTm.
