I don't know how long Miles is going to be out for TCU but I think without him they are going to go on a bit of a tailspin.
Above 40 is impressive especially taking into account recent slump.
First couple of KU games I caught early season, I told myself, "He's going to be a pain in the a** this season, probably including against us." ... It's possible/probable he was the difference-maker in the ISU at KU game.
I think one team to watch a sleeper to win the conference is Baylor. They have JTT back now and that really makes their team a lot better.
it looked like he did the same thing ejim did years ago. he was out a few weeks.
Yeah, teams are really trying their damnedest to take away his 3 point shot lately and forcing him to drive so I think the quality of the looks he is getting has really dropped and hence the drop in shooting percentage.
Imagine being the team who earns a 3 seed and then draws a 6 seed TCU in the 2nd round after Mike Miles comes back.
Agree but they have some toughies left. Arguably the toughest schedule left. They're currently 6-4 and still have road games at TCU, at Kansas, at Kansas State, and at Oklahoma State. Home games vs ISU and Texas as well. I think the winning team in the league likely has 6 losses...I don't see Baylor only losing two more. Likely 11-7 at best for them.
Did I read that he was close to playing this past game but didnt? Guessing he's close, as is Lampkin. They'll probably both be back for us. Hope we don't have 3 leg kickout fouls vs. Miles.
Interesting. Welp, maybe I stand corrected then. Still think KU pulls this out though.
I normally think that but it is just a bad matchup for KU. Similar to TCU. Although, like others have said, it is very difficult to win on the road on the saturday-monday turn around. I can't remember the percentage but I remember them showing a graphic before on big 12 teams and the home team wins a vast majority of those games.
Well at least KU will maybe make it a priority since we outscored them in the paint and went inside alot. They'll bounce back with that (I think?)
I put a dab on them at +800 to win the conference a couple weeks ago. They promptly lost at Texas, but I still think they have as good a shot as anyone.
I just don't think they're that good. They're still #7 in the Big 12 in Kenpom. Although, there's not that a gap between them and Texas. Texas is #9, KSU is #26.
Kenpom loves them some West Virginia. #14, ahead of Iowa State and TCU. They must have lost a bunch of close games.
Iowa would be the 9th best team in the Big 12, behind OSU and ahead of OU.
I agree, I paid -175 juice for KU money line this morning.
WVU has losses to Purdue and Xavier out of conference...both great teams.
They have some close games but nothing like our three losses by 7 total points.
at KSU by 6
at OSU by 7
vs KU by 14
vs BU by 5
at OU by 1
vs TX by 8
at TCU by 4

I think it is more a lack of options for them on the inside than a lack of focus on defense.
Just did a little digging. KU has won at least a share of the B12 title every year over the past 18 years, except for 2. One of those two was National Champion Baylor in 2021.
Like @Gunnerclone mentioned. They have a way of people writing them off. Then, when the pressure is on teams seem to bow to KU.
He updated it in a subsequent post, its supposed to be the line between "expected win" and "expected loss"
