:yeahthat: Tad's gotta pay attention to that kind of sked detail! KU = 10 days, at home, to practice against what the oppo's run; while the Buffs have one day, after a huge intra-state rivalry game? That kind of scheduling is begging to get your asses kicked, even if you are highly experienced---Buffs are not---and talented---Buffs are, but very young.
That simply cannot be allowed to happen.

For reference, unless I missed something, the last time we got stomped by more than 36 points against KU was January 7, 1998...we lost 111-62...
Lots of reasons, but the bottom line is that the stage was too big for them.
Hope they learned something from this beatdown.
Probably by definition. But I have more explanations for this loss than the Iowa State one two years ago where we didn't play a lick of defense and it ultimately made us look like the inconsistent team we were to the selection committee.
KU is damn good and playing them on the road with our key players being 1 junior, 2 sophomores, and a bunch of freshman is no easy task. Another embarrassing road loss but we'll be aight. We should be good and battle tested by conference play and Scott is really starting to look like a monster.

The problem with a loss this big is what it does for your confidence in coming games. It is not a good situation to be coming off a 36 point loss and now have to face a tricky MWC road game. We absolutely have to beat Fresno. Find a way, make a way. Get it done.

Humbling defeat that you can use to reteach some concepts the team might have overlooked by their great start
Fresno State is a win they need to get to show some kind of road capability

That's another part that concerns me. I still don't think this is a "great" KU team. Obviously they're quite good, though. You can't play the compare scores game with too much accuracy, but somehow Oregon State was able to compete with them for 40 minutes in KC and barely lost. This was easily KU's most lopsided win of the season.
Coming off 10 days of practice. Today may have been KU turning the corner from borderline Top 10 to a true elite for this season.

For our sake, I hope so. Strange set up, as they don't play again now until next Saturday. I get that most teams have an exam break, theirs just comes early. We'll have a true sense of whether they've taken the jump to elite when they play @ #7 Ohio State two weeks from today.

Too long to think about it? Two days is too long? WTF are you talking about? The close rivalry game late Wednesday night drained this team. Meanwhile KU had 10 days to practice against the Buffs' tendencies.
Give Boyle ten days and homecourt against this KU team and we'd see DIFFERENT RESULT!

I don't think we beat Kansas this calender year, no matter the venue, including the moon.
Kansas lacks a great point guard this year, which is unusual for them. That said they are athletic and tall at all positions. They were a tough match up for us. The emergence of the center Withey though is going to make tough to beat in march.
They exposed our youth and lack of athleticism viz a viz stalzer and SHT. Also, Adams played terrible. XJ had a good game despite the lack of points--hopefully a good stepping stone for him.
Next year, we could give them a run for their money if Roberson comes back, given the addition of Gordon and the expected increased physicality of Scott and XJ.
Watching today's game, I couldn't help but think Dre's regressed offensively this year. He's forcing things more and doesn't seem to have a good feel for what the defense is trying to do. he's a better player when he's playing a complimentary role and not looking for his own offense. Some of those inbounds passes were awful too.
The one other thing I did notice early on was XJ and Scott were the only two players on the court who didn't look scared. XJ's still finding his way but he's willing to fight and should be a good player down the line.
