21-22 season: Big 12, 9. SEC 7.

[KStateFootball82]

4-6 last night but….the scheduling sucked for us and Baylor with no Cryer (KU embarrassing regardless)…still:

Tech: Beat Tennessee
OU: Beat Florida and Arky
KU: beat Mizzou
Kstate: Lost to Arky
TCU: beat A&M

= 9-7

Just a bad day at the office…

I'm still pretty much shocked by last night, but in a good way. I knew we were good with a full compliment of players, but I didn't expect KU to react or not react in the way they did.

KU just didn't match the toughness and intensity. Its one of those things that happen and KU will learn from it. Sounds like Self was trying to instill more of it but wasn't where he wanted it.

Let's be honest...Kentucky has the more talented and athletic roster. It is what it is. Self has beaten plenty of teams with superior talent/athleticism over the years, but on a night like that when everything's falling, good luck.

KU has one McD's AA and he's an unreliable stiff with stone hands who managed to regress this year. The rest are mostly fringe top 100 players with decent athleticism at best. Remy Martin has been disappointing, although partly due to injury. Agbaji is great, but as we saw last night, if you devote a lot of attention to him and he has an off night, they can labor to score consistently.

The NCAA cloud has had a huge impact on recruiting for years now. With solid coaching, they've managed to stay relevant and even managed to have the best team in the country in 2020. But it's started to catch up to them the last two years. That said, they still have a chance to win a really good league and earn a high seed. But it's not a vintage KU roster.

Plus KU was spent from going all out to beat Texas Tech in Lawrence.

Wow, you are pushing it dude.

The big 12’s top two ranked teams were no shows OP. How was Baylor getting Alabama a bad matchup for the big 12? Would you have rather switched with Oklahoma and okayed at auburn? I mean Kansas got Kentucky at home. What more did you want?

Dang AuHoosier he does not know how hard it is to get you and me agreeing.

I remember the discussion on how strong the Big 12 was and how weak the SEC was. Then when the challenge comes along and the lower ranked, or unranked SEC teams won (except LSU) he comes up with that. Hard to believe.

I don't remember anyone saying the SEC was weak this year. SEC fans are just programmed to whine about disrespect.

The issue was not that people were saying the SEC was weak. The issue was people saying the big 12 was clearly better.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Total score was SEC 697 - 676.

Very close challenge.

 

[ExitFlagger]

I don't know many who said that either. But yeah, many said it's better. And I don't see a reason to change that opinion.

 

[BasketBallJunkie-UK]

Only because we have more teams with more bad teams in the bottom. Top 10, SEC is clearly better.

 

[AuHoosier420]

I mean your highest ranked team got beat by a 4-4 sec team.

What about their 2nd highest ranked team?

 

[AuHoosier420]

What about their 2nd highest ranked team?

Got beat by a 6-2 sec team at home. I don’t see any big 12 team winning at Auburn so they could have replaced Oklahoma with whoever

Clearly better? That's some serious homerism. I'd like to know how you draw that conclusion.

Without their best player. Leave Jabari Smith at home and go play in Texas Tech's house and see how it works out for you.

Btw, if you want to play that game, a 3-loss SEC team lost to a 3-loss Big 12 team by 26. And a 5-loss Big 12 team beat a 5-loss SEC team by 17. Not to mention one of your best teams (LSU) lost to one of the weakest Big 12 teams.

Alabama lost just last week to Georgia. Who was 0-7 in league play at the time. The worst team in the SEC. Texas tech doesn’t have a loss that bad.

Who cares? They also beat Gonzaga and Houston. Bipolar play is their MO.

So Alabama loses Tuesday on the road and then wins on Saturday at home right?

They could go 1-1.

So they say, but they didn't shoot that well from three against Gonzaga, Baylor or Houston. And they shot terribly in their win vs LSU.

 

[AuHoosier420]

They could go 1-1.

Well auburn already won at Alabama. Surely Kentucky should be able to as well since your fanbase has proclaimed Kentucky has the best team in the SEC

Size inside is what hurts Alabama more than 3 point shooting being off. They are weak inside. Guards are very good though

Avatar bet we win by more?

I could have elimiated the clearly better part.

Head to head matchups last weekend. Cmon EF..... We're a little more top heavy, you guys a little more even. I don't think there's a huge gap. But we've got braggin rights lol.

Looing at Kenpom. the 2 conferences are really close.

So when Ok and UT come on over, are we stronger, weaker or about the same?

 

[AuHoosier420]

Avatar bet on a point margins now? Really? You must have something you are really wanting to use. Since you lost before

I really don't. It was just a joke.

I was thinking of putting a daffy duck mustach on the teapot. Never thought it about it after that.

Auburn beat a UK team that basically did not have Washington and Wheeler.

I say that made a difference. However, Auburn is one fine team.
