The answer is...NO!

I guess the way to start off this recent post is that KU just lost to Texas at home in Allen Fieldhouse. If you are a fan, you would know that KU doesn't lose to often at home and this would have been #70 in a row! This number was obviously not achieved. The question that holds the answer for this blog title is,"Is this team going to make it anywhere?" As I said, the answer is no. This may be one of the deepest, most talented teams KU has everyone see but talent doesn't equal a national championship. Let's take a look at the last time we lost at home, which was February 3, 2007 against Texas A & M. Almost three full years since we lost in Allen Fieldhouse. Now let's go through what team that was shall we? Darnell Jackson, Mario Chalmers, Russel Robinson and all the greats we had for the 2007-08 National Championship team! Now how far did we go in the tourney? The Elite 8! Now that is respectable since we lost to the National Champion Runners Ups, UCLA. The problem we have is here is the same problem we had that year as well as last, the mentality of a national championship team! We were up 15 points at one point which became 11 at half time. We didn't score in the first three minutes in the second half everyone on the floor looked like they just got done at Peking Taste's Chinese Buffet!! Tired and worn down and could care less if they lost this game or not. Little do they know that there are expectations as a Jayhawk. You must win at home! You must be humble and realize you are not a "god". Bill Self and his crew this year has not instilled this practice to this team of Juniors. This team has no idea what they are doing and they have no clue what is in store for them down the road. If they can't beat Texas at home how are they going to beat K-State at all? Mizzou? Forget about it. This team has an extreme hubris to it where they think they are untouchable. This loss was inevitable and Self along with the rest of the team needs to reevaluate what is going on during practices. We don't need Tyshawn starting. We don't need Selby hocking up threes every chance he gets! We just don't need this bulls**t that has become this arrogant, conceded, cocky team that they are!! This team, if they don't change and establish a humbleness that is needed and a will to "put teams away", will not get past the second round when we again play a scrappy team from the Missouri Valley Conference. By the way this conference ha ended KU's dreams earlier than expected; Bradley and UNI are two examples! I am drunk writing this so if you don't like it, tough! Post your comments.
