We good.
Should have a shot, this NDSU team is pretty bad.
Don't forget you guys get the pregame on espn +
Same starting 5.
Hopefully they get after it a little more today
@BeddieKU23 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:

Yeah idk, this team is about as bad as Washburn. I expect our good players to play well, and the bench players to again not be great. Hopefully Self can get away with similar experimenting though, I want to see more Gethro.
Don't let the announcers fool you about NDSU. Creighton just had a bad game. NDSU got ran by Nubs.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
I would just like to see more dominant effort. These wins the last two will not beat any of the 3 foes we face to start big 13 play. Hopefully the next month we see some growth
Yeah it will be hard with what is likely to be erratic sub patterns. If Bill managed these games like UK we would look excellent but might as well not run our best players into the ground.
Slog possession with a trash make. Nice...
Sure
Trying to force it into Dave again sigh
Why can he catch a SIMPLE PASS
Trash call
Seriously
We just don't have it today
Multitasking. Jayhawks on computer, Badger football on TV. Chatting both games. If I make what appears to be an out of the blue statement it's because I'm commenting on the football game and forgot where I was posting!
Bill stop it
Please stop giving him the ball
I MEAN SURE
F this
We might get shutout today
Maybe we really are going to spot them 35 this time
Of course that kid was 2-13 from three before that.
NDSU will start missing eventually, law of averages and such.
Nice take ochai
Nice job Marcus
Braun causes a TO then Garrett forces a TO
So Garrett is over the not covid?
There we go
Swooosh
Ochai taking over
Beautiful play ochai
This was worth 5.99
Beautiful day with the sunlight streaming into the sold out field house
Guess that was a good time out by self.
Looking good
26% 247th in the country from three coming into this game btw lol
Ochai will be our scoring leader this time.
@msanchez said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
Ochai will be our scoring leader this time.
Hopefully he drops 30
@benshawks08 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
@msanchez pretty sure he’s been second leading scorer every game.
Nope
@benshawks08 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
@msanchez pretty sure he’s been second leading scorer every game.
Oh, yeah, even ESPN agrees with you.
The most consistent, I meant.
Garrett, Ochai, Braun and Dave have all led the team in scoring this year in a game.
We've been playing good defense all game, we will be fine.
I'm pretty sure that's our ball.
Mg great hands
Wow Marcus saved people lally gagging
@BShark said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
Garrett, Ochai, Braun and Dave have all led the team in scoring this year in a game.
Wasn’t it Wilson not Ochai?
Yeah Wilson against Kentucky my bad.
Too many Dave shots so far!
Dave sucks. When does this get realized by self
Marcus wyd?
Wow Marcus did you even try
Dave needs to find the bench
Big dave took about 10 baby steps into the paint on that pick and roll. LOL
We were so spoiled with doke catching lobs.
Very concerned with this team
Team was clearly not up for this game.
Mitch...
Gotta dunk that lob.
I love the sunlight on the court.
My biggest pet peeve in life is people who say should of instead of should have.
@approxinfinity Yes, me too. It's unique in all of the world of college basketball.
@approxinfinity said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:

I thought that light was from the TV crew.
We'll straighten this out. I am thinking that seeing a big disparity on +/- even against the weakest opponents should be a clear message to Bill.
David is most of the problem so far. 0-3, actively sabotaging on both ends.
I thought the light was emitting from Christian and Mitch
LOL
Jalen has no energy so far. Have played a lot of games in a short span but still.
Mitch is also bad at setting screens.
Mitch has zero feel for the game of basketball
“However” should not be used as a coordinating conjunction (between 2 independent clauses separated by a comma). It is actually a conjunctive adverb, which can either be used with a comma to introduce a new independent clause, or to help connect two independent clauses together after a semicolon. A conjunctive adverb is not strong enough to join two independent clauses without the aid of a semicolon. Try “but”.
Bill...what is this line-up?
That baseline step made up for that trash three make last possession lol.
I don't mind Mitch. When they actually start running an offense, he'll look better
Make layups
NDS is better than Kentucky
I want to see lots of Enaruna. I mean. Assuming we aren't going to lose.
WTF
4-6 from three.... 26% on the year coming in...
67%. Zero d
Yes Harris!
That should count as a steal for Harris.
Harris' got a nice pair of hands!
@BShark said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
4-6 from three.... 26% on the year coming in...
Obviously
@BeddieKU23 Marcus was all over him
@BeddieKU23 most of these have been guarded or long tbf
@benshawks08 right now!
NDSU just chucks up crap that goes in this game. So weird.
Jaylen has a nice move - splitting between the two defenders. Braun's got a nice fake move. If we keep going at them, I think we can lead sooon.
I want to see us run lob plays from Harris.
Simple passes. Can't even catch them
Finally getting Ochai back in
Walk!
Called the travel that time.
That was from Jaylen.
Nice D Enaruna. Looked good guarding perimeter
@approxinfinity said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:

To who? Braun and Ochai are the only guys who dunk but they are also the best shooters.
@benshawks08 I was thinking Ochai, Enaruna and TGF
Wilson never stops moving!
Ref plzzz
He was out of bounds
Hahaha ref please
Blindness is not acceptable
What a silly half.
Braun travelled.
I usually save my famous line for the big games, but I'm using it now. I don't get nervous until the last minute.
Mg again!
Hard to watch
Female ref?
Illegal wedge formation? Oh sorry, football comment, but anyone ever heard of that?
Eurostep vs dunk
@BeddieKU23 said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:
Hard to watch
Definitely overlooked them plus NDSU playing out of their minds on offense.
Are we allowed to use recordings of fans in AFH to create familiar noise
Okay Tyon
@approxinfinity Marquette did last night.
@Crimsonorblue22 What? She's great. Better than the breck hair guy higgins
pfffft
Ref this ref
Nice acting.
He got pushed from behind.
Worst call in the sport
What defense was played???
Flop city
Stripes loving making calls without having to hear it from the jayhawk fans.
Light in shooters face
I want to see Self's reaction to Tyon's move.
He had to shoot, 3 Sec call
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:

With all due respect!
Who is the guy calling the game with Dave Armstrong?
Not even running offense lol. Basically just the weave.

Travel
Dave traveled badly
I was gonna say, he's walking in the park!
BRYCE BUCKETS
Smoothy Bryce!
A block!
Is there a reason Dave loses about 5 feet of distance from the rim every time he turns to score?
Hahahaha
@benshawks08 said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:

If you ever figure him out let us know
@benshawks08 everything is a fade away for Dave
Tyon just a bit slow on the fast break
That could've been our what 7th dunk?
@BeddieKU23 Is he just not strong? Is it bad footwork? I just can’t figure it out. He’s getting outmuscled by a nobody from NDSU.
Its everything. Extremely bad footwork
High center of gravity...
Nice d dave
Tyon looks good today.
Pull up jumpers ... need more attempts of that shot Rather than constant drives
Sure no foul
David???!
Mine too!
@BShark said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:
David???!
Broken record. Hes the worst starter in the self era
Too much effort.
Fade away jump hook!
@BeddieKU23 Tharpe and Grimes also starters.
Big Dave, listen son, you've got to take the ball to the hole, ya heard me, it's not working, that Danny Manning wannabe stuff.
Ugh
One against 4, Marcus!
Marcus' layups always come up short.
Looks like we're quite from 3 line today.
quiet.
Bill gave the guys the week off after Kentucky
LOL. I try to stay positive.
At least we're leading!
Hope that they do something in the 2nd half. Haven't seen anything worth my $49.99 for the ESPN+ package yet.
We want Harris! We want Harris!
If KU could finish at the rim...
NDSU is usually a decent team that makes the tournament, but has been pretty bad this year. Bright side: defense stepped up and NDSU started missing. Just need to start scoring to put this game away.
@Crimsonorblue22 You going to Creighton game?
@BShark said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:

Their big looks better than ours.
Bill will really earn his $ this year if this team makes the 2nd weekend.
Should be up double digits. Hopefully a better 2nd half...
We will win this by double digits and have no bullshit lineups in until it's under control.
@approxinfinity said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:

How come Jankovic hasn't played?
Good point on the broadcast, this KU team is actually good at rebounding. Will be something to monitor in league play against bigger teams.

You get a discount if you pay for the entire year. I only want one month myself though.
If Dave fouled out I wouldn't mind.
WHY
HAte that shot from Dave
FLOP
KICK HIM OUT!
Lift some wts dude
Fine him
Och! Ouch!
Terrible
Actually going to lose this game. Unreal.
Walk
This is such a classic letdown game. And to play in front of cardboard....
Yes Dave please foul out
Parents! You got anything?
If I was a cardboard cutout, I'd be sitting on my hands if I had hands
Wow cb could you make any poorer of a pass
This is sad
Why is Harris not playing?
Shoot anything
If I was a cardboard cutout I'd be asking for my money back
No matter if we win or lose nobody is going to feel good about where this team is at
Someone come in and sack them
@Crimsonorblue22 That's a good idea... it might be worth 50 bucks to buy a cutout like that!
@BeddieKU23 said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:

Exactly.
To many games?

Not helping but no excuses.
Maybe playing a game every two days instead of, you know, practicing, wasn't a good idea.
SAD!
Pathetic
I'm beginning to think big Dave is a really cutout and should be in the stands
Game over.
Yep
Garrett got fouled on his drive to the hoop.
Getting blown out
Garrett has been awful.
Yeah, because a KU team has never come back from 7 points down with 15 minutes left.
Didn't the Bisons lose to Creighton... and we play Creighton next week?
Shaping up for an Ali Farokhmanesh finish.
Plenty of time.

Holy hell Jalen was FOULED
Ya know ya suck when you miss 2 layups
I'd be okay with benching Marcus for a bit.
Bad take for CB
Missing a ton at the rim
We've missed a lot of layups.
@wissox said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:

all of them
This isn't offense.
Pathetic
Oh boy..
The run is coming. Should wear them down the last 10 minutes. Be patient ...
Ku shooting 38 percent. I expected worse
That was an and one lol
Finally, Wilson
Here we go.
Wow, what a pathetic 3 point attempt by 24.
Armstrong trying to give life to the fieldhoise all by himself.
Back in the game! Thx Wilson and D

Bill was about to pull Bryce, thanks to Tyon!
Why not play like this all game? lol
Two things today. One is KU is tired. 3rd game in 5 days and their shooting is reflecting a lot of tired legs in their shooting. The other issue is KU probably looking ahead to Tuesday night against Creighton.
What a trash three
Are you kidding?
Nice move Tyon!
Short shorts shooting
Travels..
Free throws...
I'm gonna ask ESPN for my 5.99 back.
Refs are shit
Where's Harris?
We're stuck at 8 assists since 2nd half started.
Where's anyone who can score?
Bison shooting 48% FGs in Allen. Jeez
Shades is having a pretty good game
Nobody can make a shot
Good job Marcus
Tyon flashing why the staff likes him
Cb sucks today. Badly
Why is everyone falling in love with Eurostep?
I hate sports. I might take up a new hobby. Any ideas?
@BeddieKU23 said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:

Horrible forced take there
Well, it was Braun's turn to slam one off the backboard
JALEN
Let's man up, says Jalen.
Perfect trap
Wtf
Ochai has to make those wide open threes where it was set up for him.
We lost to Liberty once and Richmond in AFH. This happens on occasion
Braun a step behind
Sure
Zzzz...
Braun has been really bad today.

Their layups are smart ones, ours are all forced and we made them look more difficult than they should be.
Pressure on defense please
Marcus STOP
Marcus against 2 guys!
Ochai has to make those ugh
Kids thinking too much.
Good stop
Drive to dish marcus
Braun and Garrett both awful but in during crunch time okay.
DON'T LET MARCUS DRIVE IT ANYMORE
@BeddieKU23 said in ELITE OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT NDSU GAME THREAD:
Good stop
The problem...against NDSU...is somehow scoring..
Timeout to set up a isolation drive play for Garrett ?
Offensive rebounds will save us.
Hopefully this is the worst game they play all year because if its not, this season is going no where
Take the lead on this possession and this game is ours.
TYON
Tgf
That's impact player right there!
Must've been the crowd
TGF
🤮
Marcus, again, driving against 2-3 guys.
Vomit in my mouth on that drive
Jesus.
Ochai cutting through the lane like, was like, Oh crap, Garrett is driving again?

Walk
TYON TYON TYON TYON
I started to like Tyon now! Wow.
Has Dave ever been this excited?
Hard to believe we have to celebrate a guy fouling out in the last minute to help us win
Send it
Marcus and Harris can't play together if they both can't score.
Ballgame!
Tyon reminds me of Jamari, but with some skills
Ha
Look at the expression from Tyon!
Hey we won!
Saved by a JUCO player. I can think of someone that is upset right now.
Sad game
Thanks all. As always. It's been an enjoyable afternoon. We won.
Post game
Hey I enjoyed Tyons effort. Good to see his skill set.
An ugly win is a win but a Fugly win gives me heartburn
Tyon and Jalen continuing to impress. That's about it for this one though!
Coach Q out of his boot but still limping.
THAT WAS NO FUN TO WATCH.
Reminded me of junior high ballgames.
Check you guys later.

Jalen didn't shoot well today but he should have taken about 8-9 more free throws so I'll give him some slack. Great rebounding effort from him. TGF and Wilson are alphas that want to create and take shots.
By how many points will we to lose to Creighton?
This teams needs time to rest, but has to play Creighton in two days.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Honestly kinda felt bad for Denver with that Saints game situation.
Garrett so many dam forced shots - just crazy - -Braun played like absolute warm dog doo , thank GOD for Jalen & Grant.
We got repeatedly on the dribble drive - - mercy until the very end got to get better on the defensive end.
I don't expect Christian to have a game like this again he was just not gettin it today - -this whole game gave me a headache. I hate these dam clubs that milk the clock -- milk the clock , you run into teams like this and you just have to value EVEY POSSESSION gonna be vital.
I think we got \fans Tuesday might help some - -we got to play better then this Tuesday or we gonna get whipped - again an ugly win is still a win , finding a way to get it done. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well. Good practice for the tourney I guess
39 % field go shooting and 4-15 from the 3 isn't going to get it done against better teams - - what like 27 % ? -- is that right ?
Missed a lot of lay-ups and open threes today. 3 games in 5 days not helping but you still gotta make more than that.

Maybe I'm just feeling a letdown from not having Dok this year, but what the hell is going on with recruiting baseline players? BMac only played 13 minutes yesterday and Lightfoot played 4. Losing DeSousa shouldn't have been totally unexpected, so why hasn't KU brought in more baseline players? 5 guards isn't our path to a final four appearance.

I have been thinking the same thing for several games now, and Harris should start at point. So that being said, with the current roster and makeup of the team Garrett needs to come off the bench. Ofcourse, that is not going to happen.

Exactly. :hundred_points: same thoughts here, but that's assuming Marcus isn't just under the weather. If he returns to elite defensive form and is at least an average scorer (which he clearly was not against NDSt.) then I think they can start together. But, it's a lineup with a bit of a scoring deficiency, that seems to be plus everywhere else.
I think Marcus' minutes could be decreased and should be as the season wears on, 37 last game is not sustainable.
The Defensive poy? He'll be fine. Play them both, Harris needs to be a scorer too when we are behind. We are getting more options.
@Crimsonorblue22 Harris does not need to score, because he makes everyone that he is playing with better.
Eventually Harris will need to score at least somewhat. If he is unwilling to do so he becomes much easier to defend, even with his skill set.
PER's after the woeful NDSU game. Going to need a complete 180 result from here to beat Creighton
Crowd will help! Rest will help. As long as nobody has covid!
@BeddieKU23 Lightfoots numbers agree with my take on his, what was it, 3 minutes? I was a bit surprised he didn’t get more time as he seemed to do better than most in his short stint.
I am not lobbying for a steady dose of Mitch but if he is doing well and few others are why not let him roll? Self playing for the future perhaps?
I think they have finals this week too.
