TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Basketball is hard => Topic started by: Pete on March 12, 2011, 10:31:52 PM

ESPN just did a segment about how Kansas owns the Big 12 in basketball, with all of their real and shared conference championships. Yet, they have so few national championships relative to other schools with as many conference championships in the major conferences.
Is it because the rest of us in this conference are so bad? I mean, Bob Knight has as many national championships as KU, and Roy Williams is personally tied with KU since the Eisenhower administration, and up until 2008 KU was tied with San Fransisco.
Are we all failing KU? Maybe KU should leave this conference so they can get better prepared and not fail so much in the NCAA tournament? Ideas?

With they amount of talent they have had the last 15 years or so they should have 15 titles, but they don't which is quite sad, really

Number of players on the floor per team?

It's so laughable that KU counts their helms titles as national championships.
-
i would have loved to be in lawrence 20 years after the last game was played when they announced the helms national championships..i mean the celebration had to be out of this world!!! it will be like when colorado is given the 2031 big 12 championship for beating the best team in the conference 3 times!!! :horrorsurprise:

KU is top five in NCAA tournament wins, Final Fours, and NCAA championships. They're 2nd all-time in wins and 1st in conference championships.

Top 5 != 1st or 2nd, which is the point of this thread.

Also love the Bob Knight comparo. :nerd:

ku, while a fine program with a proud history does indeed underperform the majority of the time which begs this question. I have the answer to this mystery. First we must acknowledge that their program has been very good and I will not in anyway argue that point. Next ku fans must realize that for the last 25 years there has been little resistence from our conference. The north has never been competitive and represents 2/3 of ku's conf. schedule ( hard to lose a title when you start out 10-0 or 9-1 every year before you play the south) Texas, ou, and osu have put together some squads, and to be honest isu, mizzou, and ksu of very recent history have competed at times. So what we have here is a team that rarely challenges itself in the non-con, wins conf titles, everybody thinks they are as good as their untested record, and then they perform like a 33-2 mid-major every year in march. It really is this simple. One byproduct of this decieving annual dance is that it helps recruiting constantly being ranked high, but they still eff it up :facepalm:

Sad to see the goEMAW.com transition to Tigerboard is complete. :emawkid:
Pete you have a lot to live up to to take down FijiTiger. Good luck.
-
It goes to show how much of a random crapshoot the NCAA tournament is. Really need to go to double elimination to get a true champion.
-
One reason is....they don't have big 12 officiating to coddle them once they get to the dance.
-
Take away the fake titles and the ones they couldn't defend due to cheating. How many does that leave them with? Pathetic for such a "storied" program.

Fantastic TB parody. You are only missing one thing.
"Kansas Sucks! nm."

Careful Pete, you're over your bag limit.

Don't ever let the truth get in your way.

Last year was a huge disappointment for me, obviously. It is tough to win six games in a row against good competition but the second round losses really sting. Overall our success in the tournament isn't bad, though. 85-38 tournament record, 13 final fours, and three national championships. If we play the entire tournament like we did against Texas last night we will have another final four appearance. Big if, though.

Surprised to see wtw so butthurt over this. Interesting.

:ck:

If you are really worthy of a 1 or 2 seed, your first three games should be layups, automatic elite 8 and then find out what you are made of in the last 3. In my opinion with few exceptions 1-2 seeds that don't make the elite 8 are frauds, and if the shoe fits :ck:

I think it's adorable, on par with your 25 year old nephew recounting winning his school's 3rd grade spelling bee.

Obviously Helms didn't live long enough. According to Helms, Yale has won 11 NC's in football, suck it Nebraska. :emawkid:

It's so adorable that North Carolina does it too.
I will say that the lack of elite competition within the Big XII hurts KU. What can we do though? We found out over the summer that we're stuck with you losers and there's nothing we can do about it. Sucks. I guess we'll just have to stick with making a final four only a couple times a decade and dominating the conference every single year.

You delusional fellas ought to worry about your own success, of which there is none.
Not ours.

says the KU dork on a KSU board. Who's really worried? 84-68 still stings doesn't it?

Well you guys made a topic about it so you. But no, not really. There was also 90-66. And the last 100 years.
You guys are a joke team.

A JOKE OF A TEAM!

Party was in MHK last night where no one gave a sh*t about Hayseed U's win over Texas (for once)

The KU posters have taken the bait again.

Gotta love how KSU fans start a ridiculous topic, get blown out of the water with facts, and then it becomes "ZOMG, lol it was good bait."
Clever, bros.

Really going to miss you when KU loses in the second round again. The bball off season is so long. It is always worth the wait though with your annual "KU is better this year without....." thread. Can't wait.
FYI your new avatar thingy and sig is dumb.

The media hates KU and loves the cats. This is worth more than national championships.

Everyone on ESPN and CBS has been sucking KU's c*ck for the past 24 hours. What alternate universe are you living in?
-
They just showed KU in a room celebrating their seed, and CBS called them "Coach K's squad." :lol:

That was hilarious. National media couldn't care less about ku.

7 straight conference championships and the media elite still don't know who coaches KU. Meanwhile they absolutely love that that crazy character Frank Martin and his sideline antics. :lol: They just can't get enough of the cats. :lol:

That's actually a compliment to Bill Self.

I always consider it a compliment when someone doesn't know my name.
