UConn would have kicked KU's ass last night instead of kicking Arkansas' ass.

Those guys were fast and could pull up and shoot and were masters of driving in the lane and dishing to the open guy with a no look pass. Nowell is a stud.
I personally find it quite easy not to root for K-State.
Ha, not saying I want them to win it all, but I'd be fine if they get to the Final 4. They are a fun team to watch and play hard, something lacking in KU's team this year.

Same. No reason to be bitter. They have a nice squad. Let em enjoy a good season. Good for the league, good for the state, and even good for KU to have an improved kstate

Nowell was running pick and rolls like it was Stockton and Malone out there. And he was making everybody look like Malone

19 assists. 👏

The only real difference between them and KU is kstate has a quick point guard that can blow by people and hit shots. Ku does not. And that opens up the whole offense

I think we'd beat ksu in a 7 game series.
We lost at their place in OT down 3 starters in a foul fest because Self called a timeout half a second too early.
We put 90 on em at AFH.

They were fortunate with their draw. That's how it goes.
They turn the ball over a lot -- so they have struggled against good defenses. None of these tourney teams they've faced have good defenses.

I think they'd be watching from home if they had to play Arkansas/UConn.

No telling how UConn would have played against us. Or is against them. It’s folly to assume what you have.

Different game different match up. But on the flip side, its silly to think we would fare well against the team that absolutely pummeled the team that beat us

Not really. It was one game. By a point. With some kinda flukey things happening with our play, without Coach Self on sideline.

I think it’s silly (and incredibly easy) to extrapolate based on a single game that we’d have gotten beat. You do you though.

all such talk is silly

OU trounced bama earlier this year…means jack shit
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

A sizeable chunk of their fanbase have treated KU fans, coaches and players like shot and I hope they suffer season after season. I do not want them to have anything enjoyable because they are insufferable jerks.

I am sure I can find other non-KU teams who are fun to watch and who play hard. Screw them.

It's called an opinion and it is not folly to have one. People do it here all the time.

Isn’t it just my opinion that your opinion is folly? And your opinion is wrong, logically, from a fact-based standpoint.

But, again, opine away.

I don’t think so. Seems out of place for this conversation.
