JAYTALKERS.COM: KU-Texas: Who has the edge?

Passion - Commitment - History

I love Jayhawk sports. I love watching them. I love reading about them. I love writing about them. I love talking about them. I love bringing a group of friends together to watch a game. I love the emotional ups and downs that go with every play. I love spending a day in Lawrence and soaking up the history of Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium.

That is the reason for JAYTALKERS.com. It's a place for me to share my passion with Jayhawk fans around the world. I hope you enjoy it.

KEEP ROCKIN' AND CHALKIN',

KU-Texas: Who has the edge?

*Defensive intensity: Major edge to KU
*Athletes: Push
*Big Men: Giles, Kaun, Wright, Jackson and Moody will wear down Buckman and Aldridge. Aldridge is long, but not aggressive. And Buckman is a big piece of meat in the lane that does not impress me.
*Takin' Care of Business: Edge to KU
*Getting Blown Out on National TV: Major edge to Texas
*Candidate for Most Overrated/Overhyped Team in the Country: Major edge to Texas
*Candidate for Most Underrated/Underhyped Team in the Country: Major edge to Kansas
*Basketball Tradition: Major edge to Kansas
*Coaching: Self will coach circles around Barnes
*Playing TEAM basketball: Major edge to Kansas
*Playing like a bunch of athletes that don't have on-court chemistry: Major edge to Texas
*Depth: Major edge to Kansas
*Assists: If today was any indication, MAJOR edge to KU
*Officiating: I can only hope that we get a fair and balanced crew in Austin.

If the Jayhawks play like they have during this winning streak, they are going to come out of Austin in sole posession of first place in the Big 12.
