IowaHoosierFan Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Season absolutely. All the way through to a National Championship. That's going to be a tougher order to fill. Its hard enough to win a NC but to put the added pressure of being an undefeated team on top of that will be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1215 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I believe they can. I would think they will almost assuredly do it in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in that 15-5 range. Don't get me wrong they are very good and I know they beat Iowa by 11 but that's one game. What gets people beat in the Big 10 is playing Iowa type teams 6-7x over 2-3 weeks. It just takes a toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted January 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 It seems to me that this year we have Gonzaga and then everybody else(No offense Baylor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was off the board most of the weekend but that was very impressive. Don't know where that ranks in the worst Kansas home losses of all time but it has to up there.

5fouls Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Ever since the Baylor game got cancelled because of Covid, I have been concerned about this. It's hard to find a regular season loss. And, unlike some other small conference teams that have entered the tournament undefeated over the last 45 years, Gonzaga is actually good enough to win the National Championship. , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyHoosier Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Couldn't care less. Records are meant to be broken. For some reason the thought of another team going undefeated doesn't bother me like some others but I understand the sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1215 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Also it isn’t like Gonzaga hasn’t played anyone. They had a hellacious schedule before Covid. And still have beaten Kansas, Iowa, Virginia, West Virginia, and Auburn. If we had that resume we would be proclaiming Archie to be the answer and we were title bound. They have a ton of talent and a good coach. If they go undefeated they have earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that they will have earned it. They played a tough non conference schedule, no doubt. But, the rest of their schedule is cake. It's as if they played a 5 game big ten schedule and the rest cupcakes. Still impressive if they can run the table, but in no way comparable to a major conference team doing so. I don't think they're going to win in the tournament though, so I'm not too worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
