this is a must win for OU and the rest of the league

I think it is also important to note for the sake of this conversation that OU is most likely the overall #1 seed right now. So, while a loss to Kansas at home this weekend would be damaging, I don't believe it would be the backbreaker in terms of a #1 seed.

This team is really good, but I thought the 2012 team with Thomas Robinson and the 2014 team with Wiggins and Embid were probably better.

I don't know how you can think that the Wiggins team was better. They had 10 losses that year.

Robinson's team had a good starting 5 but a terrible bench. Teahan, Young and Wesley were the first 3 guys off the bench. Had McLemore been eligible than they would have been.

This team brought in 2 top 25 post players and a top 50 guard and all 3 rarely play.

That's a fair point on the Wiggins team. OU just did not match up with them very well. I still think this KU team could wind up with 8 or 9 losses, but we'll see.

Ku is a good team. If you dont think so something is wrong.

actually I said "isnt even THAT good". I dont think this Kansas team is as good as those he has had. I think that is rather evident.

I'll throw my "agree" in here as well.

Barring a massive collapse we will be seeded in the OKC Sub-region.

This is a very important game for us, we need to knock them off. This is the year to dethrone KU from the top and we need to take advantage of it.

I don't think either team is playing at their best right now. OU still has some very tough games ahead, I dunno what KU has left. I think the winner of the big 12 will have more than 3 defeats in conference.
