I don't like this game being a quick turnaround following the loss to OU. It has the potential for disaster. I hope CWM and staff can regroup the team and allow them to continue to play good defense. But I also did not like CWM's post-game comments on WLW following the OU loss. He comes across as angry when the 'Cats lose but does not seem to back it up. Hard to tell how they will play tonight but KU is very tough, especially at home. -

Funny thing about Oscar Robertson owning the scoring record in Allen Fieldhouse is that it was not against Kansas. It was against Arkansas in the NCAAsLeave a comment:

We need to clone John Newman. Both McCullar and Adams are 6'7" and involved heavily in the offense. I can't see Lukosius being able to guard either one. Thomas undoubtedly will be assigned to Harris.
Given that the Cats managed to overcome a great homecourt advantage at BYU, perhaps the Jayhawks can brick a bunch of shots as the Cougars did.
I perused a few KU message boards and, at least up until now, have seen almost no mention of UC. It's as though they just assume they'll roll over the Bearcats. Maybe the atmosphere will be relatively dead.Leave a comment:

Kansas 1/22 9:00 ESPN
Big Monday on ESPN. It's been a while. Hopfeully we can catch Kansas on an off night at Allen Fieldhouse. The crowd may or may not be a factor depending on the weather. Ice is moving in around the plain states right now into tomorrow. Usually the Phog is a death valley for opposing teams. The team itself will probably be pretty mad coming into the contest since they just dropped an easy one at WVU yesterday. Their 3 losses are away or neutral court to Marquette, UCF and WVU. UC does not get the benefit of home court tomorrow night so....
Hunter Dickinson is the new guy on campus after transferring from Michigan. Dickinson is a double double machine who pulls down 1 of every 4 KU rebounds. The guy is large and mostly immovable. That said it's hard to tell whether Kansas is a good rebounding team outside of Dickinson and McCullar Jr.. On paper the Bearcats outrebound the Jayhawks but that may be because Kansas has a better FG% and doesn't get as many offensive rebound chances. I would attribute their better stats here to the fact thay have a better assist avg as a team than UC does.
Speaking of McCullar Jr., he came over from Texas Tech after Chris Beard left for Texas. He's a great scorer and a greater trash talker from what I've seen. He backs it up as he seems to do a little of everything well. You can't foul him either, he's 85 % at the FT line. He's the guy that makes the engine go on offense.
