Yeah....I’m 100% sure that Texas is more pumped for a weak Kentucky team and/or UNC than playing in arguably the best venue in the country vs the team that has completely owned their league for decades.

To me UNC is a bigger brand.
You can rationalize that ass kicking however you want.
But end of the day it doesn't change anything
Especially if OU hands you another L
No doubt. Every college basketball team is more excited to face Texas than KU.
You’ve outdone yourself.RollLaughRollLaughRollLaugh
Losers brag about money. Winners brag about success.
No one respects a program with all the money and resources you could need yet nothing to show for it.
People are excited to play Texas regardless of the sport.
KU is a nobody compared to Texas. Just the facts.
You don't have the success compared to Texas .
Do you get it.
You suck in pretty much everything outside of basketball.
Isn't considered an elite athletic department.
Do you get that no one cares about anything but basketball and football? And we happen to be on a college basketball board.
The entire university has a target on their chest.
Isn't just one sport
Once you understand the difference you move on....
and Kiss the ring
Are they?
Can you name one reason why anyone would care about Texas basketball?
The desperate goalpost-shifting and rationalizations for a mediocre basketball program are childish.
Texas has a target in the state of Texas. No one else cares unless they’re really good that year. Which is rare in either sport these days.
Even in your own state, you’re the third best basketball program right now. This is reality.
Congrats @SheriffBufordTJustice this team look damn good this year. They should go far!
Reeks of desperation.
I provided facts that refuted your stupidity and now you are attempting to find some way to make yourself feel better.
This game today had nothing at all to do with KU...
But you are still butthurt from that ass kicking
Like I have said that isn't anything compared to what the NCAA will do.
Better Kiss the Ring....
I think we play Tech next weekend...One of the next few games
We will see where both are at
Watching Texas come back to reality is relevant to KU.
All you have is a very rare January win and hope that KU will be hammered by the NCAA, and I’m desperate? Ha...
Don't really care about KU and the NCAA...
But the facts say that you will need to resleeve your butthole when they are done with you
Know your place and Kiss the Ring...
KU has owned this conference like no team has ever owned a league before...but we need to know our place.
Too good... RollLaugh
Shaka will know his place when he buckles under pressure that he’s never experienced in his career. He has no clue what it feels like to be hunted.
You don't own anything...
One trick pony whose trick is about to be taken away
Football money is way more important than basketball money anyway
Better get inline...
I'm not saying that the Texas name doesn't carry weight when it comes to other things, like television deals, conference alignment, etc.
But when it comes to how opponents play your, the energy the players and fans have when you roll into town, no Texas's name does not carry anywhere near the same weight that Kansas' name does in basketball. Not in the same universe. When KU comes to town, teams play with a different energy. Fans have "black-outs", and sell out stadiums that 95% of the time they can't get half full. The same does not happen when Texas comes to town.
Now, if Shaka can get the program to play like this consistently on a yearly basis, where Texas is going far in the tournament every year, and they're finishing at the top of the conference or competing with Kansas for the top spot on a yearly basis, then yes Texas will get that kind of response out of opposing fans and players. But right now you don't. Last year, watching Baylor play, and they've been a consistently good team, even if rarely at the top of the conference, they were still a top 5 team, and I watched a lot of games where they played on the road and the crowd was lethargic and sparse, where as when KU went to those same places, we faced sellouts and loud crowds. To garner that kind of attention, it requires not only having a good team, but it also requires tradition, and a history of consistently being at or near the top. When you've been doing it that long, you can get that kind of response from opposing players/fans even when your team isn't that great.
KU on the other hand, if we turned it around in football, we couldn't garner that kind of response from opposing fans and players. Not until we did it for a long time. Where as Texas, even though you're trying to rebuild, you're still getting that kind of response from opposing players/fans on the football field.
I watched Oklahoma play a couple of weeks ago, and they were going through the motions. Looked like they didn't want to be there. Their defense was sluggish, slow, and undisciplined. Today, they played perhaps the best defense we've seen this year. They were jumping passing lanes, getting their hands on every ball, jumping into the stands after loose balls, diving on the floor, etc. They gassed themselves with their effort, but they wanted that W. It was pure effort. KU faces that every game in basketball. And even though it's kind of annoying, I'm glad this is the case, because it's a sign that your program has been really good for a long time. If Shaka can keep recruiting well, and get the program consistent, Texas is going to face the same on the court.
Texas brings out the lights regardless of the sport...
Mainly because the entire conference revolves around the state.
Even KU Basketball. Bill Self has to recruit Texas.
Really only place with Televisions and recruits
Rest of the programs reside in barren wastelands

You do realize that we’re discussing basketball right? On a basketball board?
Yes, that’s all we care about in Lawrence. But frankly, I don’t need CFB. Shitty product, by and large. I have the Chiefs and KU basketball. You have a has-been football program.
You don’t even see how sad this little masquerade is....
World doesn't work in that way...
People don't disconnect Kansas Basketball from Kansas Football.
I know you wish they did but human mind doesn't think in that way
KU gets everyone’s best shot in front of raucous crowds. Texas gets empty arenas home and away.
But hey....TV deals.
You do know people who generally support the basketball program supports all programs...
Sports do carry over
This is why KU Football could actually be up there in the Big 12 as well

Why does no one attend Texas basketball games?
Why do opposing teams not sell out when they’re in the house?
You are making assumptions.
Either you are lying to yourself or you are clueless
Texas is by far the most hated university in the Big 12.
If KU basketball is as hated as you claim...
It should carry over to other sports.
Reason why KU could be a much bigger brand name in football than you think
Emotions don't change....
They carry over.
Especially when most of these schools have been abused beyond repair.

Assumptions?
Texas’s arena’s capacity is greater than KU’s, yet they sell half as many tickets.
Why does no one want to see Texas basketball?
We got you guys Wednesday in Austin. And we play Baylor on Saturday. Tough next two for us.
Cause there is a lot to do in Austin, ever been ? More night life on 6th street than in your whole state.
being down big vs the oklahoma schools after losing oscar oscar and cottrell, i was actually worried about a tailspin and being a fringe tourney team. they will learn how to play with a smaller lineup and mcbride can carry them at times. i think they can make some noise in march, should be fun
Sheriff stop pouring gas on the HORNS WEVE been nothing for over ten years sad but true.
You have a much larger population and nearly 100,000 show up for mediocre football teams, but you can’t sell 9,000 tickets for basketball because you have bars?
Nice take, genius.
No doubt. I think it could be a good thing with us having to play small. These Texas and Kansas fans don't think we stand a chance but as much as Huggins pisses me off sometimes, he usually gets his team clicking by season end. We needed KJ's defense today...hopefully he will be over his flu bug when we go to Baylor Tuesday.
We are talking about two different things
1) Winning the Big 12
2) Playing in the Tournament
No one is saying that WV won't be a second weekend team.
But saying WV won't win the Big 12.
You are 2-3.
Don't think a team has won the Big 12 with 6 losses
So you pretty much only can slip up one more time. Don't see it
Wednesday...
Texas matches up better with Tech than they do WVU
But your guards are always a threat. Playing consistent on the offensive end. Both teams are Top 5 on defense according to KenPom.
So will be what team can be more efficient on offense or can create points from turnovers.
Eye test says you guys are better this year. Just depends on if our offense shows up or not if we can hang. Will be a good test for both teams.
