Kansas did in 2001-02, but that's the only time it's ever happened. And no Big 12 team has lost fewer than two games in league play since the double round robin format came into existence in 2011-12.EvilTroyAndAbed said:Also, no one has ever gone through the Big 12 undefeated.boognish_bear said:HoustonBear15 said:Are you fine with Drew flat out saying we won't go undefeated in conference play? Who's to say we can't do it? Obviously it's a tough league, but why deny yourself the chance and send that message to your players.EvilTroyAndAbed said:What on earth are you talking about?HoustonBear15 said:But it's not just about the competition. It's about the confidence that you've prepared your team to be successful every time they step on the court. If you don't believe you can win every game, why play it?Chamberman said:Saddle Up! said:
Contrast that with CKM's attitude and comments about winning conference and winning every game. I just wish Drew had a little Mulkey in him, and ftr, I'm a big CSD fan and backer.
I'm sorry but you cannot compare the level of competition that the Lady Bears play in conference to that of the mens team. Not even close.
I missed him saying that and would like to hear the full context of the quote....but it may be a way for him to try and keep his players from being too tight feeling like they have to be perfect.
A football coach aiming for the natty would never say that of course....but basketball is different....even the elite times are going to have a handful of losses
