Player/Team improvement...

It annoys me that FAN always blames CK for the season.  It's Frank and the NCAA/ex-girlfriend's fault.

True. CK's past shows that he was pretty much a victim of circumstance and a coach treating him unfairly. I hope someday CK can run into some good luck.

He was fine for 2 years in Manhattan. 

Yeah, I wasn't surprised. I'm also not surprised by the screw ups.

But I like CK and hope he finishes well, I just think his off the court junk impacted the team. Pullen's did too, but not quite as much.

I still think that in order for a lot of the blame of this season to be put on CK's absence, we would have had to beat Florida and A&M.

Do you think we beat any of UNLV/Colorado/ Okie State with him? The only thing I put on CK is that we might have beat UNLV but I doubt that game will be the make or break for the tourney.

I think we beat UNLV, CU, and maybe OSU with CK.

With CK and Jake definitely beat UNLV.  Six more games playing together and another inside scorer, win at OSU.  Inside presence, confidence from road win, and inside scoring, beat CU at home.  Still lose close game at MU.  Now 9 more games playing together, with 2 on the road, lack of pressure from must win of being 1-3, probably get the win at A&M.

So..... CK & Jake, the two senior leaders screwing up have a huge impact on where the team is at right now.
