Re: 17 Wins - Is it possible?

Jerry Palm (the CBS bracketology guy) does not think we get in at 8-10 in the Big 12. I asked him directly on twitter about K-State and his reply was this. Prior to last night KSU was 8-12 against the top 3 quads. They'd have to get within one game of 500 against that group to have a shot. With thei...

Re: 17 Wins - Is it possible?

I for one won’t be excited to see a 17-14 Florida team in the tourney and a 27-5 Grand Canyon is not. KSU in 1990 was not very deserving of a bid and lost in round one. Completely agree. IMO, a team should have to be at least 500 in conference to make the tourney. A league might be completely loade...

Two of those games were postponed for weather, not covid.

Re: Suspensions announced

I am not naive and I know college sports is all about money, but as an educator for 25 years, reading these slap on the wrist suspensions makes my stomach hurt. Both AD's, both coaches, and Bowlsby all talk such a big game, and then nothing but slaps on the wrist. I am not really looking to argue a...

Re: Suspensions announced

Just for the historical record Brittney Griner got a two game suspension for punching a girl and breaking her nose. Everyone knows this was a "negotiation" between the Big 12, KU and KState. No one should be surprised that no significant suspensions were given to players who actually matter to KU.

Re: Tulsa and Truth

To be fair, through 15 games, I'm betting many, many teams could say that they haven't had a game where all 5 starters have played well yet. I think that would be a fairly common thing. Even KU hasn't had that yet, I don't think. How about a slightly lower threshold for success. How about just two ...

Re: TCU Game Preview and Game Thread

Here’s where I got my stats, and they don’t match yours: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/coaches/jack-hartman-1.html Maybe someone can reconcile the difference. I think this is missing several years and wins at Southern Illinois, but regardless, the win total is misleading as heck. Yes. The sp...
