REC21

Tonight could make or break the Jayhawks season!  The horns are a VERY talented team and could cause a ton of problems for the hawks tonight.  Yes, they no longer have Kevin Durant, but this team has a ton of young talented guards and a decent frontcourt as well.  We are going to need to play at our best to win at Texas!  Because we swept them last year... they will be ready for this one!  Mario, Russ and Sherron are going to have their hands full with DJ.  I my eyes, he is the most complete guard in the BIG XII... maybe even the country. 

The Jayhawks played well from what I hear against Baylor... but no 3's?  How does a team score 100 points without making a single 3 point basket?  I was VERY happy to see that both Russ and Sherron had great games!  And we shot over 75% from the FT line again!  Looks like Bill might be spending more time in practice shooting FT's!

I am really looking forward to watching this game tonight!  I think it should be an "Instant Classic".... as they say.

I must also say... I was shocked that Clemson blew that game last night against UNC... and how about that UCLA loss.  Looks like Kansas should climb in the rankings again this afternoon before tonights game. 

ROCK CHALK JHAWK... GO KU!

JAYHAWK FOR LIFE!

The big dance is only a month away.  What team(s) do you not want to see on your side of the bracket?  What teams scare you... if any?  What do you guys think about Duke's win at North Carolina?  Do you think Memphis is the real deal?  What about a team like Butler?  Can they make another run this year?  Is the BIG 10 as bad as they look?  What about the PAC 10?  Are they as physical as they looked last night in the UCLA game?  What sleeper teams are going to peak?  UCONN?  Kentucky? 

Selection Sunday is one of my favorite days of the year.  I can't wait to see all the possible matchups!  Some I would love to see are:

Kansas State and Indiana:  Eric Gordon against Michael Beasley would be amazing!  I think they would both score 40+ in that game!

Kansas and North Carolina:  I know all Kansas fans would love to see this game in the final.  Roy Williams against Kansas!  I can see the press conference now... Roy crying like a baby... saying how he never wanted to play against Kansas!

Memphis against Duke: I think this game would be very entertaining!  Lots of 3's and great guard play.  Could Derrick Rose handle the pressure as a freshman?

Tennessee against Butler:  Coach Pearl knows all about Butler going back to his days at UW-Milwaukee.

This years tournament is going to be a great one!  I can't wait!

Another Jayhawk victory!!!  I thought the team played well last night.  Not great... but played a good game.  I was upset that they were not able to cause more turnovers and they had too many of their own.  I was also upset that Slim got himself in foul trouble again.  We are a different team with him on the bench.  He needs to learn to play smarter and not pickup those dumb fouls.  I really liked to see Brandon be more agressive and drive to the hoop a couple times.  He needs to play like the go-to-guy and be a little more selfish!  He is so talented around the basket and needs to take advantage of his strengths!  I was also happy to see Sherron playing a little better... he had that burst of speed we all saw last year!  I think this team is starting to believe and starting to really understand what it takes to win... no matter what style of play the other teams forces on them.  Keep being agressive and playing smart!  Keep hitting your FT and trusting your teammates.  This team is fun to watch!!

ROCK CHALK JHAWK... GO KU!

JAYHAWK FOR LIFE!

Well.... a lot has happened in the last week.  Kansas loses a game at KSU for the first time in like 100 years.... Cats take over the lead in BIG XII.... then poop their pants at Missouri.  So... were do we stand now?  Tied for first with another BIG XII Championship in our grasp as long as we take care of business!  It starts tonight with a home date against the same short-handed Mizzou team that just had a HUGE win against KSU. 

Our Huge advantage tonight is going to be our guards... they are missing their point guard!!!  We should be able to cause Mizzou to turn the ball over all night!  Should be a nice confidence booster for KU tonight!  Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, and Sherron Collins should dominate and KU should win easily!  I also want to see Cole Aldrich get some major minutes!  We are going to need home come March!
