I've watched three games, including both losses. I just don't see that they are the #2 team in the nation.

You could say that about any team if you've watched only their losses. They've had games that even had Bobby Knight gushing about how good they are. The top 10 is pretty interchangeable to me, but I think they are definitely in the mix. The only times they've looked bad so far is when the refs let a lot of contact go in the paint. All of the guards like to drive to the hole and all are good free throw shooters. They aren't big enough to finish consistently so if the fouls aren't being called a lot of their edge is negated. Stillwater is consistently one of the hardest places to win. Even with all of that they were still going to win the game until Nash went unconscious.

I believe that I might have caught a glimpse of a black guy in the background.

White people are the worst.

Just saw the Texas replay, that flagrant foul call on Dixon looked really sketchy to me. If he got the defender at all it was with
his tricep not his elbow.

This one worries me. Hope the Tigers shoot well and turn KU over. Will go a long way to preserving MU's potential 2 seed (or better).

I feel like they are probably going to split, most likely with each team winning at home. I'll feel a lot better if we take care of our part tonight. Sweeping them would be too sweet, especially living around as many KU fans as I do.

Robinson is the only guy that worries me. He is foul prone so hopefully we are aggressive early on going to the hole and maybe get him on the bench. We also really need Ratliffe to stay out of foul trouble himself.

Denmon!

Being able to watch the game and listen to the KU radio guys is a real treat. They are the biggest homers I've ever heard.

How the [expletive] is that not a technical on Robinson? Seriously?
