mine is right in the middle.  i have no expectations but will be crushed to go 0-3.   content with 1-2.  ecstatic with 2-1.  and out of my mind with 3-0

I haven't had a chance to talk it over w/ the guys at the coffee shop yet, but I think we should be feeling pretty good.

Not good tonight. Feel pretty good about Saturday, Mizzou is going down soon. Scott Drew is just incompetent enough to lose with that much talent, cats could win. I'll say 1-2 though.

Expect 1-2, hoping for 2-1.  Worried about who gets Frank'ed after 0-3.

I can see us losing tonight.  Classic overlook game against a shitty team in a shitty building with 2 elite undefeated programs on tap the next 2 games.

I think we'll probably go 1-2, maybe 2-1. I'll be surprised with 0-3 or 3-0.

If we don't go 2-1 then we aren't very good.  Its not like we're playing Syracuse, Kentucky, and Ohio St.

I don’t get the confidence for this game at all.  We haven’t played a team of KU’s caliber (or Baylor or MU for that matter) and certainly not on the road.  And while this isn’t a vintage KU team, they are still better than any team we’ve faced so far.  The next 3 games, in winnable order:

Baylor 50%
MU 40%
KU 10%

10%?? you do realize they lost to davidson right? ku simply isnt that good this year. their bench was outscored by north dakota state 20-9. and im fairly certain wvu would skull eff ku

I arose this morning with a feeling. 

After I took a good schlitz it was still there.

The Cats are gonna drop a beating on the peacocks tonight.  Somewhere in the 8-15 point range I would say.

I have no idea about the next 2 games, though I could see both of them being close calls that don't go the Cat's way because of a few ignorant plays at the end.  I'll know more the morning of those games after a good dump.

I think kenpom has it pegged about right.

KU 20%
MU 45%
BU 60%

Likely to win 1 game, not unreasonable to expect 2. Defeated/undefeated not likely.

Cats will roll. I'm only tuning in for the following points of drama:

1. At what point in the second half does Massa Self use his final timeout? I'm saying w/ five to go.

2. At what point does Frank take pity and pull the starters? He has to be careful not to do this too soon, but I think we'll see Vulture and Nino out there with about 90 seconds to go.

3. Will Angel gun for 40 pts or ease off on the gas around 35pts or so?

Stay tuned purple EMAW people.

Based on history, this game is Nino's to win.

What does them losing to Davidson have to do with our chances tonight? They have better wins than we do. They are the better team and they are at home. I'd put our chances somewhere between 10-20%.

Confidence is high. I'm going three and a half bball only fans out a of a possible five.

:bball:  :bball:  :bball:  :combofan:


Positives I'm taking in to this game:

1) We are a deeper, and overall more talented basketball team.

2) We are playing better basketball right now.

Negatives I have to admit:

1) We are relying a lot on some young players who will have never experienced anything like this. How will they respond? Chances are Gip and Angel will be shaken up momentarily. Hopefully one of them responds to the ruckus in a positive way.

2) Mold poisoning. You never know what kind of exotic diseases are floating around the locker room over there. Pray for our boys.

Anywhere I can find stats from previous KSU vs KU games in AFH? Trying to look up our 3pt percentage the past few years.

Last year was horrid, especially in the first half (1-12). We went 6-10 in the second half but we were already behind a bunch.

We ALWAYS get our ass kicked in Allen Landfill, except for the fluke win by the Woolridge team about 8 or 9 years ago.  This is our best bet in a long time to win in Lawrence.  Confidence is high.  :sdeek:

If they still play as bad on the road as last year we should win this

Baylor: 6
They have better talent, but I like our chances better at home
