The Emperor Had No Clothes

Those damn, fat fratters. In the end, the 2009-2010 Kansas basketball team just wasn’t as great as everyone said they were. I take no solace in being right. Without Sherron Collins’ pure will they would probably have lost quite a few games. Tyshawn Taylor and Xavier Henry were never the breakout stars they were supposed to be. The Morris twins certainly improved their game, but other than the first round win over Lehigh neither ever asserted himself enough to allow Cole Aldrich the freedom from defense that he needed to really shine. And yet this team was legitimately considered to be national title contenders. Why? Collins. Unfortunately, the rest of the team was a fraud.

And let me just say this to all the K-State fans out there. Yes, it’s a good thing your team is in the Sweet Sixteen. But why do I get the sense that your real glee is because KU lost and not that you advanced in the tournament? Karma’s a bitch, so watch out!
