Kansas

This is Kansas' biggest loss to an unranked team since 78-79.

In the panoply of embarrassing losses, Kansas actually gave up exactly as many points per possession to Temple as they did to Kentucky.

But Temple would beat Arizona by 40

This one reason why it's not just top teams that Kansas can't compete with.

What about the TCU loss a couple of years ago? Or Bucknell?

So many too choose from! LOL.

Yeah I mean you really can't go wrong: They lose inexplicable games in the NCAA tournament (Stanford, et al.) They blow almost impossible-to-blow leads to good teams (Michigan in 2013 - 99% win probability). They lose to horrific teams during the regular season (TCU). And then they just get blown the fuck out (tonight).

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

What cracks me up about this Kansas loss to Temple, and sorry haven't read thru the recent post's yet, is the atmosphere was no where near as intense or difficult as our win at UTEP. Not even close to what we faced there.

That was my first thought when I turned on the game near the end of the first half. Temple fans were pretty quiet for having such a huge lead. Though the Kansas players looked so bored I think just about anyone would've beaten them tonight. Self should probably stop scheduling games this close to Christmas.

Brennon (and some others) isn't good for meaningful analyses. He's right to consider the importance of what Self observed about being a step behind all night. In college basketball (as opposed to an 82-game season filled with back-to-backs), that's a disturbing sign. The worst part of the article besides the "let's give Kansas a pass" (?) take is missing the fact that Temple didn't exactly light it up from 3-point territory. Their high shooting percentage came from within the arc, which is squarely on Kansas's defense.

Well, now we know why fuegs hasn't shown up here yet, he was at the game.

The only thing interesting that happened the rest of the way is a brave KU fan stood and screamed repeatedly “we’re not overrated” as the Temple fans indeed broke into the “overrated chorus” with about seven minutes left.

We need a major upgrade at the 2g (Selden needs to go) and at least 2 bigs in the 2015 class. Softest team Self has put together outside of Mason who is a pit bull and the freshmen get a pass.

Didn't you just call this Kansas team "underrated"??? Now it's the "softest"???

I really do respect that for as gawddamned awful as your takes often are you are always here afterwards to take your beating. Sincerely.

That said, this is all you have to say? We don't get any gold like, Temple would win the PAC 12 by 3 games? Arizona won't play anyone as good as Temple all season?

If Temple played like that all season in the Pac-12, they'd win it going away.

Outside of the obvious hyperbole we all use when discussing Kansas, Stevie Wonder could see that team has major problems.

I lol'd when he mentioned Gtown at the Verizon Center as a hostile NBA arena or whatever the hell he tried to give Kansas props for there.

(looking, looking)

2010 to the last time U of A lost by more than 25 in a game! That was Sean Miller's first year. And it was mostly to a guy who was the consensus national player of the year next year.

So who on Temple is winning national player of the year next year?

Was that Jimmer?

And that's two 25 pt. beatdowns this year.

Somebody was asking when was our last 25+ point loss. Was it the North Carolina game a few years ago?

You don't know how to post in an enfuego thread, do you?

(That North Carolina game was nine years ago. But the specifics of our ancient losses aren't necessary for this thread's focus on Kansas's fresh losses.)

And Happy New Year. 1997, that was the "Best KU Team Ever" right? The team that Arizona figuratively punched in the mouth and took their lunch money? And by "took their lunch money" I mean took the Championship trophy that some said belonged to KU

That still must hurt a ton.

Re-watched the game yesterday on the PAC12 network. Arizona got away with murder and Kansas got called for invisible fouls. Amazing amount of talent on the court and bench in those games too. Bramlette and Bibby piss me off.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Fri Dec 26, 2014 7:43 pm

And there it is folks. Another excuse for the Kansas loss that burns him the most. He's got one for every time they lose. It's never that the better team won that day.

enfuego doesn't believe in the most simple concept in sports: Scoreboard

He got it from Roy Williams, who right after the Arizona game in 1997 said Kansas was still the best team.

85 - 82 SCOREBOARD

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Sun Jan 04, 2015 9:17 pm

Arizona lost to UNLV by 4 ...

but ASU beat UNLV by 22 and Arizona beat ASU by 24 for a net win of 42 compared to Kansas's win by 15 ...

which means Arizona would beat Kansas by 27.

Wow, I wrote that just to make fun of enfuego's method of arguing, but in the end, that sounds about right for the team that lost to Kentucky by 32 and Temple by 25. I should listen to enfuego more often.

My wife made me flip between the Lions Cowboys game yesterday to watch her Rebels. I kept telling her they were going to lose by 30 but we could watch it if she insisted.

UNLV up 4 at halftime & they only thing I could think of is - boy enfuego must be white knuckling like crazy that his team finds a way to play to their level in the second half. Congrats buddy - big win!

Thanks, buddy. A good win by my under rated Jayhawks. Clearly, UNLV would win the Pac-12 conference.
