Al the teams we needed to lose this week have lost. Illinois just lost, Wisconsin lost. We should be ranked tenth or better
It would be nice if Cincy beat UH, 1st place here we come.

I'm just joking around. Obviously it takes a lot of respect to get to 9th. But, we also haven't had the best history with that particular number.Hate this mentality! I know it’s somewhat of a joke, but some legitimately don’t want it. Any ranking, let alone a top 10 ranking, is a welcoming sight!
These TJ teams ain’t anything like the old Fred teams. Bring on that number 9 and let’s keep on moving up!
Shows how bad all the ranking systems are. The metrics ones don't take into wins/loss/eye test enough and the human ones are popularity based. All lean WAY too heavily on pre-season rankings, even 3 months later.
How they were ever #6 is laughable. Never understood the love.

There have been a lot of years where it looks like KU isn't the leader in the first half only to see them win it outright or win a share.
I fully expect them to be right there and only hope ISU is there with KU and maybe Houston/Baylor.
Does not feel like any one team is going to pull away strong.
Baylor has a chance if McCullers is really out with a sore knee.#10 Illinois lost today
#11 Wisconsin lost twice
#12 Auburn getting drilled by 22 right now
#13 Baylor likely will lose at Kansas tonight
Auburn getting cooked
It certainly feels like an inevitability just behind death and taxes. That said they have an abnormally thin bench this year. Hoping the Big 12 gauntlet keeps them from catching their breath and making that push.There have been a lot of years where it looks like KU isn't the leader in the first half only to see them win it outright or win a share.

Absolutely possible. Matchups will of course be huge difference makers. I’d love to get a team that sucks at 3s or has a historically bad night. Our defense inside the arc is great, but we can’t stop (nobody really can) 3s in transition or in spurts.If we can make shots this team can make a Final Four.
That’s why I’m not confident the hooman poll can get us above 11How are IL & WI ranked ahead of us with similar records playing in a watered down big10?
#9 is fine. Gotta knock those walls down!Huge wins this week going 2-0 against good teams and several right ahead of us lost. Just don’t wanna be number 9 haha.
Yes! And free throws..If we can make shots this team can make a Final Four.
4 straight games of Gilbert, Jones and Tamin hitting 3s at the same time? Lights out, not getting ahead of myself but I’m excited about the ceiling with these guys. I think TCU is a tough team and they never stood a chance todayIf we can make shots this team can make a Final Four.
