Texas Tech just isn’t very talented and Beard doesn’t have them playing elite defense either. TBH I’m not sure they ever will with this bunch. Might be a reality check in Lubbock... DePaul and Louisville coming up too.

I meant within one week.
And yeah, I'm too young to remember that season.

Ummmmm, what?

KU went from unranked to #4 in one week.

They're going to go from unranked to top 5. I wonder if that's ever happened.

Michigan plays Louisville on Tuesday. I am wondering if a team has ever beaten 3 top 8 teams in less than a week's time during the regular season.

For those who questioned if Juwan Howard can actually coach, I think he's doing a good job of answering that question. So far.

Suddenly the noise from Texas Tech fans about how they are the new kings of the Big 12 seems to have died down a bit.

I fondly remember being shocked at watching them absolutely throttle UNLV

I heard them say it 10 times minimum yesterday. And they are correct. There are no dominant teams at this point in this season. There are a bunch of good to really good teams.

There is going to be a ton of shuffling in the top 15 between now and January 1.

PS chris beard will have tt playing better by conf play.

Michigan has a very nice roster. Makes life easier for a rookie coach.

Once Duke, UNC and Kentucky lose a game, the ‘there are no dominant teams’ talk starts

That is such a great point.

Even Bills, who we all like, said it the other night and said it reminded him of 2010.

Well, I know some here have their issues with the 2010 team, but that team entered the tourney with only 2 losses.

That team had the worst leadership of the Self era. Million dollar talent with 10 cent brains.

You hate Sherron.
We all know.

I don’t hate Sherron

Hate may be a strong word, but you certainly don't like him.

Yes, those are some of my least favorite KU players of the Self era. That doesn’t mean I hate or dislike them.

And back to the point, that 2010 team was full of headcases

2010: “a bunch of pretty leaves trying to be a tree”

Sherron was awesome, but showed up to boot camp 40 pounds overweight. He was also cocky, which isn’t necessarily bad except the rest of the team deferred too much to ol’ butterball.

X had GOAT freshman potential but after December seemed to put it on cruise control.

By the end of our season, our best player was Marcus Morris.

That team had:

The Dick Flasher
The BB Gun Twins
The Nut Puncher
The Mid Court Banger
My Dad Says I’m Better Than Sherron
Face Ass

The best leader on that roster was redshirting
