Prediction?

I’ll say 76-61 KU

Shit happens when you win championships

Pain for the Aggies, for sure.

I’ll go 82-59.

Something similar

I’d be worried if it was at A&M, since playing teams that are likely better than their record at home always sucks. At AFH we will probably roll.

the Cuse/Cinci game is brutal...

First, I hate watching zone D’s (I know goin into the game that would happen though). It’s boring. Also, it really does look like a glorified high school game right now. Extremely slow pace. Last, I’d have to say if the Cuse would play like think against KU (on a night KU has at least an average night), we’d win easily. Cuse just look terrible right now.

Huge put-back by T-Rob.

Probably got away with a foul on Withey going for the board, but whatever.

the wingspan helps

but there have been many bigger men not able to do that. he’s got the timing down perfectly

Is Withey a better shot-blocker than Cole?

Is seems blasphemous to even consider it, but it may be true.

No matter how we got there

And even though there have been more than a few teams that were so good they surprised me, it is pretty damn sweet that this team is so damn good. Bill Self is unbelievable.

We already played them and almost lost, so we won’t overlook them.

musberger is such a mush-head

“He ends the announcing by saying another fine game here.”

His commenting is about the only thing worse than the ’Hawks tonight.

I'm not sure we can call that a "fine" game.

Looked pretty ugly to me. That said, I’ll take a win.

dude

it was an ugly game. if you can’t handle criticism of the team when it’s deserved, i don’t know what to tell you. and musberger and knight definitely are terrible commentators for big 12 basketball, so i see where he’s coming from. remove your panties from their bunch.

Fab Melo? Anthony Davis is only 6’11", right? I guess he’s probably the best, yeah.

Speaking of Davis

To put Withey’s blocking ability into perspective:

Davis is averaging an unreal 6.09 blocks per 40 minutes
WIthey is averaging 5.46 per 40.

I assume that doesn’t count tonight’s game. Not too shabby.
