ESPN-Myron Metcalf: Amid the drama, know this: Don't believe that Kansas' streak will end
"I am the former chairman of the "KU's Streak Will End This Season" club. And every season I spent in that role, I was eventually proved wrong."...
"I can't remember the last time the Jayhawks looked this vulnerable...
Oh wait -- yes I can: last year, when they were 8-4 after 12 games in conference play.
Or was it when they were 5-3 after eight games in 2015-16?
Or maybe it was when Kansas had an 11-4 record with three Big 12 games to play and Buddy Hield's Oklahoma squad coming for their crown?
In every aforementioned case, the streak continued.
They. Have. Won. Every. Big. 12. Title. Since. The. 2004-05. Season."
Myron Medcalf actually providing a nice write up -- and a voice of sanity -- on KU for a change.
So I ask you -- is that a bad omen or what?!?

"When I was a freshman, I remember Coach Naismith telling us how important it was to play good defense." - Mitch Lightfoot
Hope that this isn't the "kiss of death". I liked it better when Medcalf would diss us and we'd win. Now that he's on our bandwagon, I hope he's not the jinx.

Exactly my thoughts, NotO!
