Good highlight of the goal tending tthat wasn't called too. Looked exciting.

Lack of depth and poor shooting going to be a problem all season.

The bad news is that Tennessee plays the same way.

Refs are awful though. Even in garbage time

Smart taking out players one at a time like senior night.

Smart is still a punk and I'm getting sick of hearing how much of a "genius" he is.

Well, beating a number one is an ok reason to recognize your players for a second.

Do we get back to #1 this year?

A learning experience. Giant target on backs means you get punked and have to punk back. It is not a genius thing playing a pack-in zone against a weak shooting team playing thru bigs.

Never cared for the #1 ranking this early in the season. Lacking players who can make shots. Bench is anemic. Will see how they respond to Tennessee.

November ratings are like Smart's national championships. Never spike the ball.

One thing that's fixable is rebounding. Rebounding is a mind-set and we don't have that.

KU seems to always lose one of these in November.

Gonna be fine.

I want to see better box outs. Also, never ever save the ball blindly. A couple of runouts a night playing 4 on five breaks. And Self needs to work the refs. The refs were on some type of major depressant drug. They were watching another game in their minds

So true. Except in the early Roy era. And Roy never acted like we had won the National championship when he beat Tark and co.

Smart's style of seizure disorder defense steals the joy of the game too. Hoping he retires early to run a Sham Wow startup.
