A early report, why, keep reading.
The BB team beat Minnesota holding them to 40 pts below their average.
The VB team had a bad game losing to Utah. May have been a letdown fron the KSU game. We dropped from 2nd to 4th in the Big 12.
Now the reason I wanted to write an early report. The soccer team beat ranked Louisville and is now in the round of 16. We won 3/1 on three very nice goals. So why not wait until the next game, Sunday vs highly ranked Duke.? Well coach Lie was really pissed with the talking heads.
“We listened to a podcast called ‘College Soccer Nation,’ which (has) really respected coaches,” Lie said postgame. “And they talked and previewed this game, and they said that this is when the Big 12 gets found out. And they used Kansas as an example of a team that didn’t even have a chance against Louisville. We were dismissed. I found that pretty tough. We had five top-50 wins this year, Louisville had two.
“I think it’s professional negligence to dismiss a team of this caliber. We deserve to be here. I appreciate it — we played it for our team before the game to tell them what the rest of the country thinks about this. And what I would just tell you and whoever’s listening — whoever we play here … we very, very, very much respect anyone that we’re going to play and we know the caliber at Duke, but like, we’re not really intimidated at all, if I’m being honest.”
We have never made it past the round of 16, so let’s make them eat their words. Still a number of other Big 12 teams alive with three more playing today.
