If you believe in circular score comparisons...

...We beat Lousiville by 11. Kansas beat Marquette by 11. Louisville and Marquette are about to go to OT. Therefore, UT and Kansas are also evenly matched. In theory.

Looks like the theory is holding. What a great game this has been. Win or lose, I think this team has gotten better tonight.

So Grant turned his ankle and fell down right into the ball carrier, fouling out in the process. That's about the most UT thing ever.

Good effort.....Admiral tried to shoot himself out of a slump too much tonight. Can't go periods of not scoring against good teams and win many of those. Learn from this game and move on. Positive......for much of the game we were the better team. Just got to learn to finish.

Yeah, I appreciate Admiral's inside/outside game, but he shouldn't be hanging out on the perimeter for the whole regulation. It just sucks that we lost Grant right as he was taking over the game. That was the difference- a dumb freak injury.

This team will be fine. I was worried that we were being overhyped, but no more. We belong in the top 5, and we can play with anyone.

Tough loss. But I agree, this team is for real. We will get better, especially the guards. We need the guards to play well.

Barnes wasn't happy with his guard play after the game...He said the guards weren't shooting within the offensive flow.....Kansas got a lot of FTs because their guards were getting in the paint and getting fouls and we were jacking up 3's just to jack up 3's......27 3's which is not our offense. Kansas shot 34 FT's to UT's 17.
