“Big 12″ means they’ll be in the conference package.

Just updated my calendar with the hoops schedule. Thankfully only a handful of the ridiculous LSN games this year. I guess the Big 12 designation for coverage means the game might be televised subject to the conference TV package? They’re mostly second-tier games.

Abe Lemons was also one of the great teachers of the match-up zone.

General – outstanding writeup. One of my (few) peeves with Barnes is his inability to me to have anything in the playbook to inbound the ball under pressure. Seems like this has been a nagging – albeit usually minor – issue with him. Comment?

Hiphop,

We’re not tacitly conceiding that Aldrich > Pittman at this point. I view it as a wash given what each team is asking their guy to do.

That also does little to take into account the lack of depth we had last year.

Hiphop,

That doesn’t really take into account the margins though. Collins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Balbay.

Son of a bitch, it did it again. James is better than Morris. Aldirch is better than Pittman. Fuck.

Guess me and the keyboard had a little disagreement there near the end…

Typing is hard.

General – it’s probably pretty close, but remember, last year KU was picked somewhere in the 4th/5th range in the league preseason and started Brady Morningstar.

Starting lineups

Collins > Balbay
Taylor > Abrams (tough call here – on pure talent maybe Taylor, but especially given the Sr:Fr part I’d say Abrams gets and edge)
Morningstar < Mason
Morris Pittman

Pretty damn close, really, but a slight edge to the Horns.
