I certainly wouldn't trade UK's 3 titles for Kansas' 3 in my lifetime, which also comes with the NIT seasons and worse.... and titles in the 40s or something.
I'll keep KU's Helms titles... they're just as meaningless and it's mildly entertaining when they're brought up and they trigger other fans.
Damn, I didn't know you were 10 yrs older than me? That makes you what 74, maybe 75? [Reply]

At what? Braun looks better than JCL at everything except shooting but that isn't saying much. Braun is a reasonable rebounder due to his size and also serviceable defensively against big guards or small forwards. Neither guy can finish. I do hope for a Harris, Remy, Och, Wilson, McCormack starting lineup. [Reply]

Apparently Cam Martin is redshirting, which seems odd. He came from D2 so getting used to D1 makes some sense, but he's a super-senior so why even go get a guy that won't be used this year in the era of transfers when they can just go get another guy next year?
Maybe he found out he doesn't have a role on the team and is redshirting to keep eligibility to transfer again(?) [Reply]

I didn't know there were still any Braun defenders left. That will end soon. [Reply]

I suspect Clemence was better than anybody thought he would be based on his play last night. [Reply]

I want Braun to get less minutes but saying JCL does everything better than Braun is foolish. JCL is a spot shooter. Braun should realize that's all he is as well. [Reply]

Didn't say he did "everything" better. Did say he was better. [Reply]

He looked fantastic but it seemed to surprise the staff based on their comments. Would have liked to see him get more minutes. Looked long and more skilled than I anticipated. [Reply]

Clemence, Pettiford, and Adams all gave us reason for optimism. Those 3 with Braun and Lightfoot should form a strong bench. That doesn’t even count Yesufu and Cam Martin. Anything from them is gravy. [Reply]

Pettiford is small, and probably limited in a lot of ways, but that dude looks like a pain in the ass to play against. He doesn't appear to be wired with as much "fuck you" as Frank had, but he looks to have a ton of potential. [Reply]
