We lost to Pitt by 25 on their home court. Yes that was a lousy game, and yes Kansas is better, but we lost on a neutral court to the Jayhawks by 57! 32 more points! I am amazed at how easily some people are blowing that loss off. It was a horrendous, embarassing performance. Good teams simply don't lose by those margins. If that margin of defeat wasn't the worst in program history, it has to be among the worst
Flomo--Remember it. Live it, love it. But ya just can't think about it too much. Or it'll drive you crazy, poison your thinking, keep us from doing better, getting better. Remember: We lost Freeman, many true frosh playing large minutes and one member of our front court not playing as he can. Plus, Kansas is deep and experienced. Semi-analogy: think it would do any good for Georgetown to carry a hangover from their last game last year? See the humor/shrug-your-shoulders of it and move on, at least somewhat.
I'd be right there with you Monroe if this was a run of the mill, 20-30 point loss. We lost by 57! Fifty-seven! I can't remember OU ever losing a game that badly. If that isn't the worst loss in program history, it has to be the worst one in the last 25-30 years.
Beat downs like that just don't happen to teams that are supposed to be top 100-125 clubs. Just today, a BGSU team projected by pretty much everyone to be much worse than us lost in East Lansing to a top 6 MSU team by 35. Hardly anything to write home about, but still 22 points less than we lost to Kansas on a neutral court! Similarly, a Miami team also routinely predicted to finish behind us was able to stay within 35 of #1 Duke in Cameron. Hell, TOS was able to stay within 40 of a Kansas team that won the national championship in 2008, in Kansas City no less. I don't care if we are starting 5 walk-ons, we should never lose to anyone by 57 points.
