[Sparko]

Illy had to grieve for UK a few days.

Illy had to grieve for the not on the smack talk bored thread for a few days.

[Cascadia]

Hopefully illy can resist the Other Stuff

[hasbeen]

Anyone watching Nova/UCLA? I'm not all that impressed with either -- so far. I'll say one thing I appreciate about Nova this year and like every other year is how strong and physical their guards are. They post guards up relentlessly and they just brutalize smaller players.

[hasbeen]

Sidenote: Juzang struggled early but holy shit he's good

[pdub]

How awful would it be to play in the pac 12.

Itll be almost 2 am before this game is done.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Texas vs. Gonzaga today.

Won't root for Texas often this year, but will in this one. Hopefully their football team gets smoked, though.

I listened to the 2nd half driving home from the game last night. Competitive and entertaining. Hopefully Texas vs. Gonzaga will be good today as well.

[ousdahl]

Apparently Cuse too, but for a vacated season

[Cascadia]

That is a cool stat, but,

Kent St has had two .500 seasons.
Xavier has had 17-12, 17-14, 19-16 seasons
Arizona has had 16-15, 19-15, 17-15 seasons
Maryland has had 17-14, 17-15, 17-15, 19-15, 19-14, 19-13, 19-13 seasons
Michigan St has had 15-13, 20-15, 19-15, 18-12, 19-12 seasons
Duke has had a 13-11 season

KU and Gonzaga are the only 2 to never have a bad year.

[ousdahl]

That’s pretty rad.

And KU’s the only one to not have a bad year in an actual conference

[Cascadia]

That too, and Gonzaga did have a 10-7 non-conference record in 06-07

I don't even know what year would be considered KU's worst. Maybe 13-14? Went 25-10 with a 9-4 non-conference record?

[Cascadia]

Thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole ous, but here's another stat that shows how great KU and Self have been

Since the 2000-2001 season, KU has never finished lower that 17th and has 10 seasons where they finished ranked 4th or higher.

The following schools have finished unranked

Duke - 2
UNC - 6
UK - 7
MSU - 8
Gonzaga - 8
Villanova - 9

[ousdahl]

You’re welcome!

Call it recency effect, but I think last year might be the worst.

21-9, 12-6 conference, and our worst tournament loss ever, by a margin.


And no injuries to blame it on like 14 or 19. Even at full strength just weren’t that good.

Yeah covid a factor, but also not sure how much covid is to blame for our multiple conference game stinkers in the 50s and shit

[ousdahl]

With that said, 21-9 and 12-6 would be how many other team’s BEST season

We spoilt

[Cascadia]

Agreed, last year may be the worst and they still went 8-7 against Top 25 teams

[InfiniteJ]

Just saw Evan Manning on the Gonzaga bench...didn't realize he's a grad assistant there.

[hasbeen]

Gonzaga is the worst possible matchup for us. Really hope someone knocks them off in March.

Timme is a huge douche but my god he's good.

[Cascadia]

Timme/Holmgren combo would be tough for sure

[ousdahl]

Oh whatever you roibois, we got more than enough doods on this roster still salty about the last time
