I will preface my question with this...
Last night I took my father-in-law deep into enemy territory. He is a huge KU fan and so I took him to Phog Allen for his Christmas present. A side note: I had a great time and really enjoyed the experience at the Phog! Wow, what a crowd! Anyways, I watched something very interesting...KU looked beatable. I mean the game was still in doubt at 2 minutes left in the game... Had Elijah Johnson not hit a big jumper, the game could have been a 5 point difference with under a minute. This is a team that settles for jump shots, has poor perimeter defense and really has only one guy who can play around the basket. Oh, and by the way, they do not seem to be very deep. I think Maclemore is going to be a very good one and Withey will dictate teams on the inside defensively. However, both disappeared at times last night and they looked very mediocre.
You know last year before every big 12 game would have the feeling that there is no way we would win, unless the team was Texas Tech. This year seeing TU going down to Chaminade and Baylor loosing at home to Charelston, I am a ton more confident. Man what a difference a year makes!
So, here is my question: What is this Conferences' ceiling?
