I am really hoping that with the win v WVU and the Tech loss to Baylor our guys find themselves in shark mode with blood in the water for these last 4 games, 3 of which will be revenge opportunities.
Monday Feb 19: a "get even" game with OU in AFH.
Saturday Feb 24: a "get even" game and a chance to pin another L on our closest competition with just 2 more games to go after Lubbock.
Monday Feb 26: the only non-"get even" game , but another opportunity to show Texas how dumping Rick Barnes was not "smart" (yeah, probably means a hell of a lot more to us that the players, but hey, any time KU can beat the Longhorns is a time worth celebrating).
Saturday March 3: one last "get even" game to close out the season in the bal-chatri that is Stillwater.
The more I think about the "get even" aspect, the more I like our chances.

I like our chances in all of them except....Stillwater. Say what you will but how many times has that place been a Waterloo? I’m coming up with 4-7 against OSU away from AFH with HCBS. Not great. Now this one might or might not be for #14 but either way they are foing to need it. Hopefully the revenge factor plays a part.

Versus his alma mater, Self is
9-2 in AFH
4-6 in the bal-chatri that is Stillwater and
3-1 neutral sites for
7-7 away from AFH
16-9 overall
GIA is the only place in conference he has a losing record.

KU @
Given what may be at stake regarding the title, given having already lost to them in AFH, and given that Bill Self's KU teams have NEVER had a year where they went 0-2 against OSU, I like our chances in the bal-chatri more than I normally would.
But first -- beat OU.
