wow what arrogance

[RipEmUpShox]

How would Davidson finish in the big 12?

[Ta Town Shocker]

I only watched a few minutes towards the end of the game. Davidson played a solid game. I'm pretty sure I spotted Bob McKillop in the stands during last years State basketball semifinals at Koch.

[DwShock]

Can't expect much from KU fans. They are ignorant and now upset cause they lost to Davidson.

I'm guessing if you ask KU fans they will say second place. MUHAHAHA

[ripemupshocks]

Yep. Right behind Mizzou.

Davidson is a pretty good team. They looked alright in the game against Duke. They have played some good teams on the road, so as great as KU atmosphere is, it wasn't Davidson's first rodeo. I would wager Davidson as a middle of the pack finisher in the B12. KU will probably lose to an ISU or somebody in a conference game at home this year. That will be a much worse loss than Davidson. Food for thought when Evansville and SIU come calling at Koch.

Yeh, we lost to Davidson. I don't see it as a bad loss, but it is the type of team that Self's hawks have always struggled with. Davidson hit 11 threes to KU's 6. It isn't often that KU shoots 26% from beyond the arc. KU also missed 13 FTs, which is completely unacceptable.

As for how would Davidson fair in the B12? Who knows. They are a solid team that got hot at the right moments and caught KU flat. I think KU wins 7-10 of those games, but you only get one shot. Pretty much the same way I feel about WSU.

No we don't. LMOAO MUHAHAH ROFL nyuck nyuck

[ripemupshocks]

Actually Wu, I think we can have all the shots we want as long as they're all on the ChickenHawk home court.:chuncky:

This is an old discussion that never goes anywhere. But I do hope its understood that this is a $ issue not a fear issue.

[pinstripers]

No.

OK, please don't tar and feather me for bringing this up. It's an honest question:

Several of us on this board rightly expressed frustration with what happened to our RPI after we played (and systematically dismantled) Chicago State. It really was horrific that our RPI dropped by half after that game. There seems to be a consensus that playing Newman was a great idea because it didn't hurt our RPI, and that scheduling Chicago State again shouldn't be any resort let alone a last resort. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least the stated reason that KU refuses to play WSU is that KU is concerned that even in the unlikely event they won, their RPI would drop. Does anyone see the irony here? Granted, the latest update I see is KU's RPI is 32 and we're 46, so it's a small difference, but in the past there were strings of years when that has been much greater. I'm not trying to compare ourselves with Chicago State, or any other self-effacing analogy, I'm just asking a question to make sure our arguments have a leg to stand on. There's SO MANY things we can criticize KU for, I would just like this one to make sense to me.

Go easy on me. Thanks!

I've always been led to believe its because its a no win situation for KU, if they beat WSU, they should have beaten them, if they lose to WSU then they are made fun of for losing to a so called "mid-major". Thats why KU plays Davidson and Long Beach State, so they don't have to be in a no win situation.....

Well considering they were coming off a 20 point blowout loss to a not so good team, I'd say it's not a good loss....

So you don't think WSU would play KU at the Sprint Center? KU fans are fooling themselves...it's not a money issue.

[BOBB]

This KU scheduling horse is dead and bloated. Davidson is not going to be a bad loss at the end of the year
