    KU just put up 100 against Baylor; think they could take Philly?

    It's always a dumb question when people ask if a college team can beat a pro team.. Kansas has 3 or 4 pros, none as good as Noel, Okafor, or even Stauskas..

    Its fun to speculate but the reality is even some of the best College teams ever only have a couple of NBA players while an NBA team no matter how badly has at least 12 NBA players. Then you get to add in the difference in size where the college player is now going up against players who have NBA workouts and training programs, the NBA player is going to have the advantage in size and muscle over the college player.

    I think their coach is actually pretty good, and the players are definitely not trying to lose, regardless of what the front office is doing.

    Noel was a beast before he got injured at Kentucky.

    Nobody in college could check Okafor. The biggest mismatch in college.

    Either of their college teams would crush Kansas imo.

    Diallo is a solid prospect though.

    Coach has been fine; he's in an impossible situation by Hinkie.

    Yeah it wouldn't be close. It's like saying a high school team could beat a crappy Pac12 team. Zero chance.

    So to answer your question - No, not if they were trying to win.
