If it makes anyone feel better, know that all Kansas fans are cheering for you tonight. Good luck!

More importantly, is Adidas on our side tonight?

Reading this dropped my basketball IQ 30 points....

But fashion sense plus 30 points so even Steven.

You know...I do, too. Not sure where that's coming from based on the last 2 games, but for some reason I think we show we are (much?) better than at Baylor and the KSU game.

The thing about TT is that their offense isn't that scary. They have some talented players, but you can kind of focus on stopping those guys, as the offensive talent doesn't run terribly deep. Obviously great on the other end, but if you can move the ball well and hit the open shots you get, you should be in position to make a play or two late and win the game.

Exactly, keep it close and set yourself up to rip their hearts out at the end.

Just like K-State did.

Gah I was hoping this was a 6 o'clock game.

Anyone else eating tortillas for good luck?

Watching the KSU-OU game makes me feel a little better. Not much, but a little.

KSU is being undervalued around here.

Both losses sucked though just for how they went down.

Maybe. But, it's still a really bad loss. I don't think it will define their season, but coming off a close road loss, knowing you have to defend home court, you gotta win that game.

Which is why I wrote the 2nd part of my post...both of those losses last week sucked, and both were easily winnable with some basic basketball stuff.

Brown hasn't slowed down, that's for sure.

Same starting 5

 

[Gunnerclone]

Zero excitement for this game. The last 2 crap performances really sucked the life out of me. Even if they win I got no juice. It just will sting more when they let us down again later. Don't get your hopes up this team will make you dead inside.

Someone needs a spa day.

So starting 5....indication that things are staying the same throughout?

This will be interesting.

I don’t like it. Prohm is like a college football coach...always a game late to make the big change.

So nice to not play before WVU and see this clock counting down to 0:00 before our scheduled start.

tbh he's at times a few games too late.

Hopefully just a stability thing but if things are good, and they're good late, and we see unnecessary changes (and a loss) some real questions needs to be asked.

Pre-game meltdown, commence.

I don't know how to handle this

 

[SpokaneCY]

I guess you could say that. I was up all night coming up with that prediction.

Only missing forfeit!
