The fact of the matter is, however, that ku is one of the deepest teams I've seen in quite a while.  They have 4 or 5 guys on their bench that can come in and chances are, on any given night, at least one of them will be able to contribute 15 points.  These guys do a nice job of scoring when they get the opportunity thanks to the attention that guys like Aldrich, Collins, and even Marcus Morris get now.

Four or five is an overstatement. They have three key reserves, Morningstar, Reed and the lesser Morris. I can't think of anyone else making a significant contribution, unless it's Robinson contributing to the amusement of Cat fans, much less score in double figures. They mainly play an eight-man rotation although Robinson has been getting some unproductive minutes lately.
They've had some odd circumstances the past five years that allowed them to keep high school all-american recruits around longer than other schools. It's really what has separated them from the rest of the Big 12 and nationally. Florida and North Carolina benefited from the same thing, until everyone left.

It's Rush's knee injury and the parent employment scam they have going (and the fact that Collins isn't really NBA talent).

Good point.  I overestimated because I'm not used to watching a team that has 5 starters who can each score 15 points themselves any given night.

People need to understand that the white trash bandwagon contingent for ku basketball fans is enormously large.  If you've ever been to one of these ku games, you'll know it's like stepping into the world's largest trailer park.

We're just outnumbered in this department.  They're basically the equivalent of OU football fan.  It is what it is.

We'll continue to make a dent but the sheer numbers will be tough to top.
Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

yeah.  Colon and Sutton provide nothing against good competition.  sutton can produce against inferior talent but against top 10ish teams it's basically 3 on 5 when colon and sutton are in the game.

I've lived here my whole life, and we fight with mizzou for 2nd place in the kc area.  I am never shocked by the amount of bandwagon KU douchebags that go to jccc or umkc.

Baylor is a top-10 type team, or at least as close as we came to playing one other than KU.
One thing that separated KU from us was the outside shooting ability of there subs. I don't think McGruder or Irving has hit a three since January.
