"Black Out" the Jayhawks

KU fan, let me take a second and warn you. I appreciate you coming over here to talk basketball, and maybe in a couple hours some people will be glad to talk hoops, however we despise anything from the Big Texas conference. We loathe baylor in ways you cannot imagine. Our disdain for Texas is only rivaled for our disdain for KU. CU fans tomorrow will be rabid. Jayhawk fans should not go anywhere without a buddy. CEC will be as volatile as I have seen it and I advise your wheat loving friends to take caution.

You personally will receive a lot of flack here, and it isn't personal. We just hate everything about your school.

nobody's getting beat up tomorrow, relax.

Overall, I think KU is a better basketball team than CU, but on the road in what you guys seem to think will be a hostile environment, it's probably a coin-flip type of game. Best of luck after Saturday.

Still trying to get tickets, aren't you? :lol:

I will not worry about having a buddy tomorrow, but thanks for the warning. Anyone stupid enough to start a physical confrontation at a college basketball game is either A)drunk or B) between the ages of 18-23, and I'll take my chances in either scenario.

Using RPI as a benchmark for getting into the tourney? Very good, because the committee is stupid.
Using RPI as a benchmark for who has better teams? Very stupid.
Using rankings when the pac 12 has the highest ranked team? Very stupid.

Choose Pomeroy, Massey, whatever else you want...the results are the same.

Haha depending on which end of the arena you are on, A and B are highly likely.

I'm quite certain I will be pretty close to A & B and I don't anticipate any problems. You can't really be a fan of a university's basketball and football teams without having ample experience with either (or both) scenarios, but I somehow have managed not to lose sleep over it. Assuming nobody is packing heat, I'll be just fine but thanks for the concern.

Thats exactly how I felt at Moby.

I'll be in the arena. I have tickets to all of your home games actually, but this will be the only one I attend.

Love it! You're one of the doofs who bought a whole season worth of tickets to watch just one game! outstanding. Thanks for your contribution to CU athletics.

But seriously, where are your seats? I might want to use them some time, knowing they'll be empty for the rest of the year.

HHHHHAAAHAHAHAHHAA!!!

Right, because Oregon State really travels well. And USC. And just about everybody else in this conference not named "Arizona". So, are you trolling the UA boards trying to unload that ticket?
 
I hear Stanford travels really well. I'm sure he won't have any problems unloading his ticket to that game. (snerk).
 
This guy is just pumping me up for the game. I'll be one of those "B" options so enjoy the C-unit tomorrow.

If I remember right, the way that ESPN works is they will take a big highlight from the night and kick off sports center with that (like last week, it was auburn/tide) and then start to work their way around THAT geographic region, then move on to another geographic region or related story. So We COULD be the top spot in sports center, but with all the football, it's unlikely.
People do know kansas basketball to be good (even though they lost to the topeka ymca) so a win against them would have people unlike us saying in march "well colorado did beat KU, they are pretty good maybe i'll put them in my sweet 16".

In terms of overall victories, this would be a good win nationally. However if we can beat zona it has far more implications (conf title, p12 tourney seeding, etc) in terms of our day to day game. They'd both be good wins, but when it comes down to it, I think the zona one may put us in a better position in march than a win tomorrow would.

I can't even imagine the scenario where were in the top spot with what is at stake on Saturday with football. Only way I see it there's absolutely no controversy or close to it is if Missouri beats Auburn, Ohio State beats Michigan State, and FSU beats Duke. Even then you'll have the whole "one loss SEC team" is better than Ohio State debate, but Auburn has a better case than Mizzou.

KU fan here-

This will be a good game. It's nice to see your program doing so well.

We haven't played very well over the last 3 games. Some of that is playing 3 games in 3 days with a young team, and some of it is that we were exposed a bit for our deficiencies.

I like our big guys chances matching up with CU. Ellis and Embiid have been pretty impressive and we are loaded with depth at the 4 and 5 if the game is called tight and fouls start to mount.(Black, Traylor, Lucas, and in an emergency Wesley who was a rotation player for our national runner up team 2 years ago but is now our 6th "big")

Self just announced that Frank Mason will start at point guard tomorrow so we are now starting frosh at the 1, 2, and 3. Obviously our starting guards are very athletic and talented, but they lack a bit in their ability to hit outside shots. I think that Mason is starting because of his defense/transition skills...the more stops we get on D=more transition opportunities, and we have to personnel to be pretty lethal in transition at the rim with Wiggins, Selden, Embiid, Black, Ellis etc etc. I was a bit surprised that Mason will start, but obviously Self is trying to figure out how to get Wiggins and Selden going and having a pit-bull type of point guard hounding the ball on D might help us get stops and start running.

Our best perimeter shooters all come off the bench, (Tharpe, White III, Greene, Frankamp). We really need to tighten up our rotation but we have yet to have White, Greene, or Frankamp create separation from the others to emerge as our 5th guard/zone-buster-shooing-specialist.

Overall, I think KU is a better basketball team than CU, but on the road in what you guys seem to think will be a hostile environment, it's probably a coin-flip type of game. Best of luck after Saturday.

Nice to have a civil Jayhawk fan on here, I hope that CSU guy is taking notes. Glad to have a premier OOC game in Boulder.
 
Surprised Self would go with Mason, considering his recent history with sticking with veterans. I'd pack the paint against KU, as none of their starters have shown the ability to hit a consistent outside shot. But Mason's been particularly bad, even if he is only a freshman. Guess CU doesn't exactly have too many great outside shooters themselves, but at least Dinwiddie is a threat to score from outside.

Oh I think we made him angry.

He's so darned angry that he's going to take all those other tickets he bought and just give them to our opponents fans. Assuming he can find some. I hear there's a big market for CU/Washington State game tickets. Stubhub has them all the way up to $.25.
