KU (-7.5) vs. Providence, 6:29 CDT, TBS

[DrPepper]

My recollection of the last time a clear path of low seeds opened like this, kids started talking smack, and then couldn't back it up on the court.

I hope our guys know they need to earn the win and play to win (rather than to not lose).

On the other hand, KU ranks 35th is 3pt% defense at 30.4%, 54th in percent of points allowed from 3, and 73rd in 3 point attempts/total attempts. This is one of KU's better teams in the KenPom era at defending the 3.

If anyone is holding out hope to get a Sunday ticket from an ISU fan should they lose on Friday, give up now. ISU fans eating tickets and not selling to KU fans is a yearly tradition.

I expect ISU fans will be rooting against Kansas in Chicago, just like K State fans rooted for UNI over Kansas in OKC.

[InfiniteJ]

ISU will root against KU because they'd rather play Providence...not just because they're pricks.

Creighton shut them down defensively eleven days ago. Self should take a look at what McDermott did right.

Creightons adjD is 19.
Ours is 26.

I have to assume he's superstitious. Why would I say that?

[Mjl]

Because it's the bag he took to Maui?

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Yep! And clearly he hasn’t taken the tag off the bag.

Jayhawks are staying across the street from my office at the Westin.

[pdub]

Shut your blinds Jayhawks.

[PhDhawk]

Or he's just lazy, isn't that probably the last time they flew commercial?

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Shut your blinds Jayhawks.

[Wiff]

KU wins by 24 points. Book it.

[TDub]

im in for 21

JFC, gutter taking stalking to a whole new level. Self should probably start to worry about his personal safety

[PhDhawk]

I hope we win by a wide margin. Providence is really good in close games. #1 in kenpom in luck.

"taking stalking to a whole new level". Yep, walked out of my building yesterday and as I stated, "Jayhawks are staying across the street from my office at the Westin".
If that equates to "stalking to a whole new level", and in your mind you feel Self "should probably start to worry about his personal safety", you "should probably" be the one who needs to be on his "meds".

As all of us know, anything can happen in the tournament.
I'm predicting either a 10+ point win for KU or - a KU loss.

What I told a co-worker yesterday....
If KU plays how they did against Missouri or Baylor (in early February), I'm not worried about this weekend at all - no matter how the other team/s play.
If KU doesn't, KU is beatable if the opponent plays their A game and Kansas plays a B or below game.

Of course.....
If Providence plays how they did against Richmond, we may be fucked. If they play how they did against Virginia and Marquette, we have nothing to worry about.

If we play Miami and Miami plays the way they did against Auburn, we may be fucked. If they play how they did against Dayton and Alabama, we have nothing to worry about.

In other words, I'll stay away from the prediction game and just hope we play well and advance.

lol, even your nonexistent therapist wouldn’t believe that

I think the game will be close, because almost all of our games are close....and we win most of our games.

LOL, just as yours doesn't believe you when you tell them how great your life is.
