I've enjoyed this season immensely. The low lows make the high highs even more fun, ya know?

Fun season checklist:

Introduction of new adorable players? Check.
Late season big wins/Frankruary? Check.
NCAA tournament excitement? Likely.
Building hope for next season? Check.

Hard to complain, but maybe that's just me.

trying to put a goemawspin on it is fine and all, but we should win our home games. and winning @ MU and @ BU doesn't mean that we can just piss this or the OU games away or that they are meaningless. i mean, if you want to be teamostrich about this crap then fine. the ou loss was unacceptable. as is this one.

If you look at the big picture the season is acceptable with room to spare. Yeah there are moments I haven't liked, but overall we should be happy with the results.

#teamostrich

we're not at the finish line yet; the assumption that we're in is mind boggling considering the bi-polar nature of this team. and quite honestly, to see what this season has been so far it's difficult to not be completely pissed about what it could have been had frank done things differently.

frank absolutely deserves to be criticized and ridiculed for losing to OU and ISU twice. But, he deserves equal if not more praise for the ridiculous wins. Rusty even called the "hoiberg'd" loss. sucks, but it beats exactly meeting expectations imo. that's just me though, some may like playing to seed every game.

Take the good with the bad, the bad with the good and just ride the wave.

Have fun.

Pretty much every team can say this about their coach and season every season.

pretty much every team can say it has a starter that sucks. i dunno. it's a messageboard.

the highs arent nearly as fun when you get swept by a dog crap OU team and an all right ISU.

if anything, a hallmark of a frank martin coached team would be dominating great teams in february and losing to ISU at home in a meaningless game at the end of the season. honestly, will take.

Baylor is a "great" team.

LMAO.

A) didn't mention baylor
B) what is KU's best win? It's either at baylor or MU at home in OT.

"LMAO" - chemhawk

Georgetown on a neutral court and Ohio State were pretty good wins.

Confirmed. I'd say 20-30% of the people sitting close to me had an interest in the basketball game today.

I'm 87% sure the apologists in this thread don't watch our games.

The mental lapses, the inability to get a shot inside 4 minutes, and the fact the team goes brain dead for not less than ten minutes of every game is inexcusable. It's okay to adjust expectations based on what you see, it's utturly unforgivable to lose the way we've lost 6+ times this season.

All the underachievement in winnable games at home is perfectly acceptable just as long as we make the tournament.

Look at the too cool for school crowd trying to downplay everything.

Are we getting Kruger'd . . . middling conference team, a couple of decent wins, perplexing losses, mediocre talent, first round NCAA tourney exits.

How many times did we lose games like this with Wooly and Tan Tom? How many times were never in meaningful games to begin with?

...

Keep that in mind. So many forget where we came from not long ago.

dax, you say "decent wins". Is there a higher level from "decent" or is that the top? as a followup, what would have been a win on the higher level if it exists?
