Check this out:

KU is now +46 in its first two games, which makes it an even stronger opening weekend for Self and KU than the '08 team (+43).

Rock Chalk and Rock On!!! :unsure: ;) B)

Great start for sure. But I think in 08 we faced a 12 Villanova and a 10 Davidson in the Sweet 16 round. This year we could be facing a "5" and a 3. Quotes because I think Turg's guys are better than a 5. Doable for sure. But I believe even more impressive if actually accomplished.

To clarify, Nova was the S16 game and Davidson was an extremely tough Regional Final opponent. This year could be

S16: v 5 MD or 13 Hawai'i (game time 6:10 pm CT)
RF: v 2 Nova, 3 Miami or 7 Iowa (Nova v Iowa is the 11:10 am CT game Sunday)

NONE of them have an embryonic Steph Curry on them to practically carry their team to victory all by themselves.
I see KU getting past either MD or Hawai'i with little difficulty.

None of Nova, Miami (our guys have handled Angel Rodriguez before) or Iowa (particularly Iowa) have impressed me as being anywhere near as tough as KU.

They will be solid opponents, yes, but bottom line, we play as we are capable of playing and we've got this next weekend.

....we can't carry those 46 "extra" points forward to the next game, lol.

Great first weekend by the guys. Played commanding basketball. 4 more games like that, and we'll be pretty happy, I imagine.

...am I alone in absolutely loving those DirecTV "Settler" commercials? From the very first one onward, they have cracked me up! Whoever decided to can Rob Lowe and shift to those instead is a marketing genius.

Here's my favorite one so far. (Love the whole thing, but especially the family lolly!)
