Caught some of that epic game between Kansas and Texas Tech last night. About the only good thing about that one was it was broadcast in HD. And I loves me some HD.
It was the worst beat down in Texas Tech history with the Jayhawks routing the Bob Knight-less Red Raiders 109-51. Every player who wears a Kansas uniform (I think the manager and water boy got to get in, too) played in this nationally televised contest. We know Kansas is good, but that was an embarassment.
"I feel like someone put a meat necklace around my neck and threw me into a lion's den," Tech coach Pat Knight told reporters after the game at Allen Fieldhouse. "They killed us. The thing that upsets me again, just like the A&M game, is that we didn't compete. I had guys that I honestly thought looked scared when they got out there on the court. Not one guy showed up tonight."
As for Kansas, the Jayhawks are a legitimate title contender. The five seniors on their roster have stockpiled a 108-23 record and are shooting for a fourth consecutive Big 12 championship.
But the problem with Kansas is the Jayhawks seem to flame out and underachieve in the NCAA tournament. Will this year be any different?
