Thing is all these stupid Jayhawk fans actually think they're the better team.

Unfreaking real. Amazing fight by our guys. Insurmountable odds to overcome when the refs call a GARBAGE game like that.

Why the **** did we not call a ****ing timeout?!?

I like how they act like they pulled out a win. What's the score without phantom calls?

Manu choked. Almost lost it dribbling then lost it not paying attention.

He doesn't handle pressure very well (this game or WVU)

We will beat them by 10 in Waco.

What a joke.

I have no respect for Kansas basketball. The amount of crap calls they get makes this all a joke.
Media Bear

Drew needed to call TO there.

Still learning ....

We win this game by 20 in the ncaas. Ku gifted another big12 championship.
McBearenstein
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep. We played good but not good enough to overcome the 3 extra KU players
BUBearFan

And that is why KU win 50 in a row at home.

Learn how to get the ball to the best player in the big 12 drew. Terrible second half strategy. Love this team.

I sicerely want to understand how this works.

Who are these specific refs, and do they risk not getting to work Allen Fieldhouse if they call the game straight?

Why doesn't every announcer call out the absurdity of it?

Our team just proved we BELONG with the big boys - no doubt on anyone's mind. Very proud despite those last 25 seconds. Let's hold serve at home.
NOVA Bear

It's hard for me to believe that we lose this game with decent foul calling.

**** this. **** Self. **** the Big 12. **** Vitale. I'm out.

Girl with "Baylor rhymes with failure sign". Nope.


"Kansas rhymes with sadness" - is that how this works?

27-6. That's the game right there.

If Drew is truly a great coach he will have enough team analysis to make a change at the 2. Can't be too loyal it's been our weak spot all year!!! We will see??

SicEm!!

We are going to smack them in Waco. Josh Jackson isn't going to be making 3s like that in Waco.

Were those late buckets he hit chokes also?

We really don't deserve to drop a single spot. But now Kansas gets the #1 spot and they'll drop us 5 or 6 spots and they'll say we just can't win big games.


Really hope this doesn't drain us for our next game.
Media Bear

One of the worst non foul calls on ,Manu in the HISTORY of college basketball when he hit that 2/3

That's what I take from this game.
