"Do not over respect these guys, OK. This is a basketball game against a team that we are better than." Shaka Smart

 :rolleyes:

What precisely should he have said? They kicked the crap out of us in the previous game. Would you rather he say, "guys I don't care if these guys are in first place, we beat their ass once and I know you'll do it again, so LFG!"

"Claws plays Magic The Gathering" -Shaka Smart

 :lol: He definitely should have went with that.

I don't have a problem with him saying it, but I'm definitely going to LOL at him about it when we win.

It’s a great quote if he wins and he looks like an ass if they lose. To me it’s just kind of weird to make it about the other team. Honestly if I hear a coach say that I’m thinking, wait, is he assuming we were previously thinking that we are a worse team than these guys?

I think it would be better to make it about UT’s recent success against ranked opponents at home, but yeah I’m not gonna mince words but I will lol when they blow up in your face (especially when I assume Smart went out after the game and said we played a really good team today, blah blah blah).

The players likely didn't think anything because they've heard something like that from coaches, a lot.

i’m not sure why there’s a focus on this quote, maybe some people are still of the belief that shaka is a good coach?

Quote
What's good about the Big 12: Watchability with a capital W. The Big 12 was ranked second overall among our top conferences for providing pure spectating pleasure. Is that high ranking linked in part to the edge-of-your-seat thrills provided by Kansas trying to extend its amazing streak? Absolutely, and this year about half the league is in on the title chase along with the Jayhawks. It makes for good viewing.

Big 12 Rankings
Top/Bottom Strength   3rd
NCAA Title Likelihood   4th
Star Players Factor   T-3rd
Overall Watchability   2nd

What's bad about the Big 12: Maybe this gets back to what's good about the league and that whole competitive title chase thing, but there's no clear favorite and thus no promising candidate to win a national title. The Big 12 placed a middling fourth in our polling for NCAA title likelihood, and that sounds about right. KU very well might keep the streak going, but the short-handed Jayhawks aren't packing the same punch they usually do. Texas Tech is phenomenal on D but iffy on offense. Iowa State has been hot and cold. -- John Gasaway

John’s print out of the conference standings must have cropped off the top.

Can you imagine having one dude as preseason POY and then having a different dude from the same damn team earn postseason POY? My goodness.

Yeah not a fan of the location, but really doubt that will be a factor for our road warrior cats!

let's wait until 2022 or 2023 to step up our schedule, because we are going to be kind of sucky next year.
