Who would have thought that 3 weeks into the Big12 season TTU would be 1st, and wed be tied for 2nd. And that KU has 3 conference losses? Holy **** the big12 is loaded

I was wondering when it happened last that they had 3 losses this early, but forgot it happened last year too. Started 5-3 (which they'll likely be again on Tuesday after they beat Oklahoma State), finished 13-5 and won the league.

Bill Self has been a master at taking some teams that have alarm bells ringing in january and turning them into champions

**** I just realized I didn't dvr the game.
Wait a couple days, it might be on YouTube.

Of course, if you have cyclone.tv, (I'm sure you know this) wait 2 days and it should be there.

The highlights might be better on this one. You wouldn't see all our TO's and missed FT's! :D

How has Kansas lost to WVU and UCF? We played as well as we could play, hit more 3's than since forever, and still it came down to the last 40 seconds. I'm thinking KU must have really been up for this game, too! This had to be one of their best games this season. They hit a lot of 3's where you thought, no way that goes in.

They have some kind of recruiting violation (don't this year, but), don't they?

This will keep them from winning conference this year. I'm sure of it.

Self got a T this game; it didn't hurt them, we missed the FT's.

But he didn't get the crowd all riled up, the game itself did that.

Hm, maybe his fellow Kansas coach, Tang, could learn a thing or two from Self. How to take a loss at Hilton. It happens.

They looked at way more locked in especially on defense than when I've watched them a couple times
