Mandatory meltdown thread.
Except, I'm not really all that disappointed we lost for some reason. I guess I figured the seven game streak had to end sometime. Still, to go 1-1 against ranked teams ain't a bad week.
Now, it does suck that we lost as bad as we did. We're obviously not that bad of a team. You know we're having a bad shooting night when Hoskins is our leading three point shooter, and Maybank is our leading overall scorer. But the offense, as miserable as it was, I could deal with. Any time we score over 60, it's not the offense that's the problem. What bugged me was our horrible defense, and letting ku get so many second chance shots. Rebounding and defense are what we live and die by, and we got dominated in that tonight, and we lost big. That's a credit to ku for keeping us out of our game, especially by forcing us to play as fast paced as the game was, but at the same time we shouldn't have let that happen. Tempo is something we've been able to dictate all season long(unless we're playing some odd style like Mizzou's.) ku does have size on us, but they played with more effort, which isn't something I'm used to seeing since Huggins has become our coach.
The only good things I took out of this game is that we discovered Maybank is amazing at driving to the basket, which is something neither Clent or Blake have been all that great at. I guess losing, especially in the style we did, will get our guys attention and motivate them to play hard nosed defense again, because they sure as hell didn't tonight.
Ah well. Looking back on my preseason expectations, this is about what I would have expected, except the 7 game winning streak coming into this game. Not a bad place to be in the season with our talent and a first year coach. On to the puffs.

Work to do. What else to say. ku did play well. But we have work to do.

We beat Texas. They are our real rival.

You are dumb.

We beat Texas. They are our real rival.
And swept Mizzou...

I'm not really in meltdown mode. The game really sucked and we played like crap but Huggins will right the ship. Even with an embarrassing loss like this I think we are ahead of schedule. Time to go beat up on more northtards to keep our dance chances alive.
Mini-meltdown....Bennett needs to quit being such a whiner after he hacks a guy. Its getting old.

how bad did ku beat OSU?
-
I've always been more of a sulker.
Can I sulk in here?

He did get hosed on a couple of calls. One of the actual fouls he committed was anticipated by the ref. He blew the whistle well before the foul occurred.

This team just isnt an up tempo team at all. The only 2 players on the team that can play that syle are Young and Maybank, and thats why they both had the best games. I really thiink the refs took some of their physicalness(???) out of the game.

I like the three straight NorTards* looming.
*Except @Nebraska. :frown:

realtimerpi still has our rpi at 37 even with the loss :confused: figured it would of dropped a little more than that.

RPI doesn't take a hit when you play top 25 teams at their place. This is one of those times to be thankful they don't factor in MOV. I think. :frown:

Texas is not our rival because we are 2-0 against them this year. They have to win every once in a while for them to be our rival. :D

I seriously thought he was going to cry after he fouled out. He got hosed on some calls, the whole team did on a few blocking call that shouldve been called charges, so I thought. It happens though, grow up and move on. That is no excuse fo rhtis kind of a loss. Now, in the nature of a meltdown, I am going to concede that we will never win again and this Huggs thing isnt working. Is it too late to get Wooly back? :confused:
