We good.
@BShark said in Omaha Game Thread:
@bmensch1 KU twitter seems quite upset about it, but I've never been one to care too much.
Not really too worried either. I take solace in the fact that at least we're lacing up the shoes unlike Duke. Pretty excited to see some quality basketball tonight.
What's wrong with the uniforms?
Are we going to cover 24?
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Omaha Game Thread:

I think so. After the last game...Friday night...all signs point to yes
ku 87 Omaha 55

This Omaha team is pretty bad but otoh Bill might play a lot of Tristan and Mitch.
Same starters
I think Braun or Ochai has a big game tonight.
Would be nice to see Ochai bounce back. Creighton was pretty focused on taking him out of the game.
Braun with high socks
Hello Jalen
Ochai for 3333
10 -0 start. I'll take it

Analysis: Omaha is not good
Overmatched for sure. Love these games
15 nuttin
Well that was fun
I'm worried that if they don't score, they'll just quit and go home
Are they worse than the Bods?

I feel like the NDSU game would be similar if NDSU hadn't played in a week and KU hadn't played 3 games in 5 days tbh.
I ordered pizzas (apparently not the only one in Lawrence) and hope to get them before the game is over.
They do have 2 guys out, but not crying!
@BeddieKU23 They are still winless fwiw. Something to track going forward.
Coach k should schedule these guys
Marcus not good at angles
LOL Dave
Dave's out there 1 on 5 as always
Damn there goes the perfect game
Omaha scored!
How do you not catch that ball Dave. Wtf
There is a zero percent chance Dave will come up with any loose or 50-50 ball
Tgf with a new do? I barely recognized him
LINE CHANGE
Ouch that one was in and out
I'm starting to think Dave needs to regain about 40 pounds to slow himself down a little bit.
Guys need to stick with one haircut for a season
Mitch nice job. Your already better then Dave on one play
Nice charge prison mitch
Our offense is terrible. That first 4 minutes hid the fact ku can't run a single set worth worth a damn
I wonder what his career total is for charges
Ugly shot by Thompson. Good grief.
@BeddieKU23 guessing 23
Our not starters are getting outscored by them lol. Definitely cover this game with a tight rotation, but no need to worry about that too much.
@BeddieKU23 you r our stats man!
FACTS
This lineup also makes no sense.
Dammit Tyon
Um WALK
@FarmerJayhawk said in Omaha Game Thread:
This lineup also makes no sense.
Scoring is hard when you have 3 players in on offense that can't score at all.
Mitch and Dave moving screen experts
Mitch drew 14 charges in his junior year.
LINE CHANGE
Tristan isn't making a case to play him
Bring the good players back in!
@BeddieKU23 said in Omaha Game Thread:
Tristan isn't making a case to play him
Not even gonna be mad if he transfers out at this pt.
Jalen realized our offense sucked
Jalen doesn't even compare to dedric! Jalen is much more athletic
If we do another line change, let’s toss in Gethro instead of Mitch
Ochai smoooth
@FarmerJayhawk said in Omaha Game Thread:
If we do another line change, let’s toss in Gethro instead of Mitch
And josell for tristan
Good players back in and the lead balloons back up would you look at that.
Old Och back
When Ochai doesn't have to dribble or pass he's awesome.
I liked that offensive set. Good movement of the ball
Also I really love Jalen Wilson and am excited for next season's team.
+/- stats are going to be hilarious.

Tristan. Use your head man
Never play Tristan again
WTF was that lazy ass pass Tristan?
Not even kidding, I’d consider asking Tristan to redshirt next year. The lack of off-season KILLED his development.

TRISTAN SCORES 🚨🚨🚨
Man these hamburger ads are having an effect on me. I've only eaten out of the house once since march 13th. Chipotle and it was salty as hell.
Beautiful bounce pass to Mitch
Mitch just padding his stats
I wish Bryce was good.
Mitch having a nice game.
@bmensch1 said in Omaha Game Thread:
I wish Bryce was good.
I could be wrong but I'm rarely as confident as I am about Bryce being good eventually. Maybe he just always teases but I think he will be special for KU before it's all said and done.
Nebraska giving Creighton a tough time. Probably turn out that Creighton sucks too like kentucky
Espn thinks Kentucky doesn't suck so they must not. Also, Duke.

Seems like he can only make the pull up elbow jumper. His body is at a 30 degree angle when he shoots and has a crazy chicken wing when he shoots.
Can we not with this lineup pls
Lotta guys taht cant shoot out there for KU rn.
Oo that was ouchy
I see you Bryce
Those two have some hops
Piled mitch
Tyon is a guy who just looks different out there. Really going to be good when he figures it out.

Effin mitch....ballin it tonight
Mitch with a dozen
Fan-favorite Jalen Smith
Mitch, that was the best 3 point shot I've seen from you in your 58 yrs here
Good to see Garrett get that hardware pre-game. Hope he doesn't put too much pressure on himself to repeat.
Everybody else looks to be playing good enough D so far this year that he doesn't have to carry the whole load.
Who is this announcer? Got some country twang in him.
Jimmy Dykes. SEC guy
@KirkIsMyHinrich thought I heard that
wish we could of gotten our game Sunday - -get that practice time in
I lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, for ten years... had a local UT radio announcer that pronounced "ball" like "bowel" and "foul" like "fall"
Never got used to it.
G-Town taking it to Villanova
Looks like the Omaha Steaks aren't very good.
Is Wanjang Tut not playing for NE-Omaha? I was looking forward to that.
@bmensch1 said in Omaha Game Thread:

Looked at their schedule. They might be...okay? They will likely trail off in league play because their league is insane but losing to GTech and Nevada isn't awful this year. Played both pretty close as well.
I don't think Creighton sucks but top 10 might be reaching.
He has 8 points. My bad.
I'm a little behind. Mitch made a 3.
Mitch makes a 3 and enaruna barely draws iron on his attempt a few seconds later.

Nice dunk
If your a 7 footer and can barely dunk with 2 hands, you can't flex after an and 1. Its the law
Wow that's big time shot
Bill 🤓🤓
Dave traveled but at least he got to the line
These announcers have not seen Dave play much
I don't think Jalen can dribble with his left hand. I don't ever recall seeing it
LOL Dave
Hahahaha
10-11 from the line so far amazing.
Ooooof
HAHAHA
First king tut mention. Finally.
That was the most Dave sequence ever lmao
I'm still laughing, out loud
A footer....got blocked by the rim on a 1 handed dunk. At least he got another rebound.
Oh my the replay makes it look even worse
That other angle is so much better 😂😂
Looked worse in slow mo
This game has jumped the shark.
I remember doing that on an 8 foot rim once. I'm still embarrassed
Made Wayne Selden's WORST rim jam look graceful
Is the SC not top 10 still a thing?
Dykes is from Topeka??
Who would have thunk Dykes was a KU homer
No one commits offensive fouls like Lord Lightfoot
We don't need an inaccurate history lesson about the jayhawk

It could always be worse. We could be stuck with Bill Walton's blather.
I don't necessarily like the big logo. @nwhawkfan with Jason Benneti Walton is great to listen to.
Nice 3 from Thompson
Release the three pointers
Love to see Tyon just making the simple and right pass on that Ochai three.
Dave is doing a lot of things better today.
@BShark said in Omaha Game Thread:

He was a little out of control...I was waiting for him to drive only for the ball to go off his foot and roll out of bounds
See here's the thing about Bryce... His shot isn't falling but he's still putting in full effort on defense and never complains. Kid works his ass off which is part of why I think he will be good.
That three shot by Thompson needs some work I think. He's got too much hitch in his giddyup.

@wissox said in Omaha Game Thread:

He also doesn't have a consistent base. He throws it falling left and away sometimes. Needs work.
Raising Canes for dinner tonight, that's why I was late for the game, but it was worth it.
@approxinfinity Yeah it reminded me kind of a junior high kid shooting who has to throw everything into his shot to get it to the rim.
A little too much Chauncey Billups
@wissox said in Omaha Game Thread:

I guess dejaun has come back to reality a little bit??? Doesnt get too many 1st reps since the uk game.
He only gets minutes with the 2nd string too, so that probably makes it harder since he's not a shooter. I bet he'd look a lot better running with the starters.
@bmensch1 said in Omaha Game Thread:
I guess dejaun has come back to reality a little bit??? Doesnt get too many 1st reps since the uk game.
I mentioned this somewhere else but basically he can't shoot, at all, to comical levels really. So that makes it really tough to play him especially when you also have Garrett. He is a fine player to have, just rather limited right now.
Tristan is so...so....so bad
Yeah, I don't know what Tristan has been doing since he got here. Video games maybe.
The year off really helped Jalen. Hopefully the experience helps Tyon and Bryce and they also take a leap.
@DanR said in Omaha Game Thread:

Being locked down in the Netherlands all summer was not optimal for his development

Hookers and blow based on his work ethic
TGF has to have a wingspan approaching 7 foot
TGF with the JAM
Yeah tristan....fat fingers, little screen...click on wrong icon here and there
LAWDY TYON
My lord Tyon
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about with Tyon just being different
I forgot the pile driver was still playing.
If Tyon takes a leap at some point this yr. Look out.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Omaha Game Thread:
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about with Tyon just being different
I wish he didn't cut off his hair. Everything he came in...I'd always get my internal chuckle..."hey, and what about Fletch. Measures up at 6-6, 6-9 with the fro"
Can't do that anymore.
Maybe try a lineup of Garrett, Agbaji, Braun, Foster, and Wilson?
GETHRO
Gethro in!!!!
I don't get nervous until the last minute of the game.
Gee, I never knew that about James Naismith.
Wait until the announcers hear about Wilt
Jimmy really emptying the bucket
Freaking ESPN I paid 500 bucks for a ginormous TV and then you make the picture back to smaller than the size of my old TV. Who needs to see Bill Self coach like it's really exciting or something. #freeethescreeeen
Nice shot Tristan
@KirkIsMyHinrich Looks like we will cover

Gethro just demonstrated a run-of-the-mill open two footed dunk for Dave to study
I think Washburn could beat this Omaha Mutual team

Would Hays be a 20 point favorite?
Heck of a pass from Jossell there
6 point turn around Tristan. Coach will remember that.
The real question is could this team beat KState?
Advice to #4. Don't pass it to Enaruna, you've got a better chance of getting the team on the scoreboard if you just go ahead and shoot it.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Omaha Game Thread:
Heck of a pass from Jossell there
Super limited minutes but both times he has been in you can see why the staff was interested.
Ok now we see why Gethro only gets mop up minutes
I like guys who look like #4. They look like real ballplayers. You could just see Omaha players drop their heads when he came on the court.

Really excited to see next year's team with senior Mac, Curry, and the Lightfoot upgrade.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Lightfoot might still be here
It's always a trip seeing my cutout in the front row at AFH. Only had seats like that a couple of times as a student.

This is the best part of the game so far
My God Tyon
These refs SUCK.
I mean Harris doesn't really belong in this group tbh
I know Jimmy Dykes is an SEC guy, but can we get him for more KU games since he's pretty pro KU?
@Texas-Hawk-10 Hopefully he'll have the call when we play Tennessee.

I wonder about the financial implications of these cancelled games. Not so much for us, but for a lot of the small schools whose budget relies on the extra revenue from playing the big guys. How does this work if the game is called off? Do they still get paid?
Rhode Island replaced Louisville on Wisconsins schedule a day after the UW-Louisville game was cancelled and 3 days before the actual scheduled game. I was amazed at how quickly it came together.
Man here is a stat- - we got 20 offensive rebounds and Omaha had ONE
No game Sunday
Mitch is featured in the post game interview. Team guy all the way.
So Gethro is pronounced with a hard G, not a J. How did I not know that, and why am I so disappointed?
Checked the box score and Tristan played more than Jalen. That says it all about this game lol.
PER's from the Omaha blowout.
Jossell & Prison Mitch are ballin'
Latrell out there looking like Sprewell
