Thanks for waking up Jayhawks.  Still such a simple offense sheesh - what do these coaches work on in their practices for 5 months?  Our offense look like Princeton by comparison.

Are people seriously rooting for Jayhawks? 

Beilein is a better in game coach than Izzo. By far. We may lose to Kansas should we play them, but it wont look anything like this. Kansas is doing anything they want out there and MSU has no say in the flow of the game.

That never happens at Michigan.

You make it sound like beating MSU is some incredible feat.  This is a 14-loss MSU team, which we beat by 29 points.

I've accepted that Kansas is going to win.  I am, however, encouraged by how sloppy KU looks and how they are a poor FT shooting team (not so much this game, but in general).   I think we can play with them.

Lol wtf were they anticipating taunting or had warned him already or something? I seriously thought that was gonna spark a comeback just because of course. I mean I want an easier Elite 8 opponent if we make it but... cmon it's State

Rhode Island's shots are fairly ugly, but man they're athletic. I'm curious to see Oregon without their big guy. Hoping they don't have a lot of depth

Mixed feelings.  Purdue isn't quite as talented as KU but they're also very familiar with us.  I guess I'd still prefer them because it would make Kansas City a more neutral location.

Regardless, I hope we're in a position to care about that game Thursday night.

I'm not sure they could have handled Sparty without those bad calls that put Ward on the bench. Kansas scored almost every possession after that and got almost every rebound. Kansas doesn't play smart and Jackson is the only scary player. Beating Purdue a third time would be harder.
