Spokane Metro anyway.

Oops...still too early out here on the coast.

Pardon the spelling.

Let's go Jayhawks again!

Just win baby. Don't care how pretty or ugly.

Really hope Dave can go about 12 minutes today and just do his thing

Self just said at pre game hopes Dave can go 14 to 20 minutes today!

It's Wilson and Enaruna who aren't playing today?

Correct

Dave went through 70% of practice yesterday

Mitch is starting and Self hopes to play Dave 7-10 minutes a half. I have no idea how Mitch will do against Tanner Groves, a W Virginia style mountain man. RC

The last time the two teams met: 2007-08 season. 85-47 KU. On our way to the NCAA title.

EWU was having a down year after losing their all time greatest player, Rodney Stuckey, who went on to a 10-year career in the NBA with Detroit and Indiana. They also had a first-year coach.

Darnell Jackson led the Jayhawks with 17 points and 9 rebounds. Darrell Arthur had 15 points. Brandon Rush added 10 boards as KU won their eighth straight.

Christian Braun with 26 and 11 today. Book it.

In the house

@bmensch1

Bold prediction.

I concede it could be bad shots and turnovers....but I'm forever faithful its points and rebounds.

Mitch starting and no Jalen is rough. Makes this game losable imo.

@BShark

Stoppppp it. Nobody wants the offseason to start today

Prison Mitch giving up an inch in heighth and 10 lbs to the Eagles' mountain man. The mountain man also shoots 17/52 from 3, 33%.

I think normally KU would roll here, just nervous lol

Put Mitch at the top their big guy has to cover him even tho his shot isn’t great. That should let the guards drive at will.

@stoptheflop

So less then 1 make a game. I'm good with that

@BShark

Me too but let's have faith we get a dub. This is Marcus and Ochais chance to shine

@BShark said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Mitch starting and no Jalen is rough. Makes this game losable imo.

We're good....bill self is undefeated in postseason play with Lightfoot in the starting lineup.

He may be winless....but we aren't talking about that right now.

Guard the 3-point line today.

Alright Alright Alright
Let's go #Jayhawks
Go Fight Win
👋

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Especially early

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Guard the 3-point line today.

Seems important here.

Can't wait to be down 9-4 tbh

Boring announcer crew

Bryce starting

I just hope we don't turn it over early

Rocking the red Coach

This team doesn't defend

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Boring announcer crew

I am at a bar and only have calypso music to listen too. Is that better or worse?

Typical start

Brick city

Just missing wide open looks

Got em right where we want em.

Haha sure

We suck

Well, by now we know a slow start is not the end of the world

Dude looks like Arnold Horschat

About norm for this team

Now 9-4 means we are coming back!

Mitch SUCKS

@benshawks08 you ahead of me?

Looks like I'm not the only one who woke up late.

Lightfoot has to sit man

Is Dave not suited up??? We are not going to be able to stop their bigs without Jalen or Dave.

Ok forget my first plan put Jalen in for Mitch

I'm watching on TBS and it's 0-9 at commercial

@RockChalkinTexas said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

@benshawks08 you ahead of me?

Pregame someone mentioned looking forward to being down 9-4.

We can only hope for that now...

I want a refund

@DanR me too

@DCHawker

Playing about 20 today but if mitch is this bad it will be more

Good start... lol

Just a dynamite choice by Bill to start Mitch.

Like, he is killing us on BOTH ends I don't get it.

He won the tip though

Hopefully they slow down and settle or get their head out their asses

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

I think big Dave propped up by a broom handle would be more effective than Mitch was

4-9!

Cool, coool, cooooooool.

@DanR said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

4-9!

Ok you are ahead of me.

Harris

Don't blink when you get to the 4-9 mark

That's what I'm talking about

Maybe this jump starts CB

Actually playing basketball now. Not sure what that start was...

Harris a bit slow on that rotation

Let them blow their wad now our defense will get into them at some point and wear down those legs

What’s an early start ncaa tournament game even like without an early time out after coming out flat?

@benshawks08 pretty much the whole season 😂

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Garrett already starting to hunt. Almost had a pick on that last possession. They will come.

I don't think that lumberjack guy is going to get tired

Good response. Hopefully they cool off soon.

@DanR said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

I don't think that lumberjack guy is going to get tired

Just wait until Garrett guards him...

@benshawks08

Agbaji too. Its coming. Harris will get his

Juan

Glad to see a curly headed white dude who has no idea how to smile. Like to see myself represented on tv.

Such a bad call

Is that beard glued on? It goes way down his neck kind of unnaturally

Defense turns to offense

Marcus has a new position!

Dajuan

Wooooo

Dave with a huge hustle

@RockChalkinTexas said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Question is whether they can keep up this intensity on D throughout game...???

Hoping we run them off the floor now.

Bad reffing

Bryce man get your head up

Would love for och to make a shot.

Mitch

There we go

Mitch why

Heard all the crying for Huggy not being in the HOF last night.

Love the effort out there. Really happy to see CB playing hard

Bill should put Mitch back on the bench for that attempt.

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Love the effort out there. Really happy to see CB playing hard

If we get that kid who relentlessly chased loose balls we can win a few games this tournament.

CB needs to pick up the rebounds that Jalen used to get

And that’s why Mitch is welcome back next year.

Bryce man you gotta make something

@Kubie said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Slowest hustle ever. But still hustle.

Blind refs

Cb short ends a layupp

I would like a ten point lead by halftime (by us), please

@BeddieKU23 no fingertip roll

Then a in and out 3..

CB is more aggressive

Did the announcer say that last foul on dave was changed to cb?

Need to get a Dave a bucket so bad

@Crimsonorblue22 yes

It's not on espn box score

They also called us for a foul on that kicked ball that went to commercial

@RockChalkinTexas gotta be right thought! No way would Self have him in

Espn shows him with 2

Still glad we don't have Higgins

We good? Yeah...we good!

Love that inbounds play

Now show that ONE!

Why can't guard him

Bryce playing scared

Brick city baby

Dave wyd

Tad Boyle beating up on P. EWING

Stretch bigs, BS kryptonite.

Nah its just scheme we completely abandoned him

Help D?

Crap

Lightfoot what the hell man

A one point game and these yoyo announcers are talking hair styles

letting them get what they want on offense now

@nwhawkfan said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

They should be fired

lol

Rebounding

Bricks and more bricks

Really poor play for the last 4 minutes

Stop falling in love with the 3

needed that by harris

They r packing the lane

OK maybe once in a while

Big run by EWU.

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

They r packing the lane

As they should.

Groves is a 30% three point shooter btw.

F this kie

I still hate our defense that has a guard in the paint "guarding" the wide open guy in the corner shooting a 3. Terrible.

EWU doesn't play defense and it's still hard for KU to score.

4 threes in a row?

Redicilous

LMAO

Fuck this

Yikes. We look like we got 3 hours of sleep

Is it too early to 🍹

22 5 run just like that

They are going to score less than 30 in the second half. We good.

@betterfireE

Thats what covid does

One of the groves with double his average. Whatever

Looking forward to the "die by the three" part of the saying

They're only shooting 55% from 3

40% shooting and a whole bunch of bricked 3s the reason

don't need your help, ref

@bmensch1 The brothers are 75% from 3.

Marcus can't do it by himself

Fuxk this

Ref clearly wants us to.lose

flop

TGF doing his thing

Flop

Ya think ewu is going to break 100?

This team just sucks

every team looks bad when the opponent is draining threes

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

This team just sucks

The refs are not helping

That was pathetic

Did not expect to give up 46 in the first half.

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

I just said that, loudly, to the bar in general. Might have more support if I wasn’t in NC.

Neither of the Groves players are good 3-point shooters. One has made 12 3-pointers on the season and the other has made 17.

Never fails

@Kubie

Reward flops and non charges like candy

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Anyone can make shots when they are wide open.

Except bryce Thompson

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Except bryce Thompson

They haven’t had that many WIDE open looks though. (Bryce has)

This script looks all too familiar. I really don’t know why I put myself through it year after year. The ending is always the same.

@benshawks08 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Ya think ewu is going to break 100?

Didn't realize they were such an offensive juggernaut.

Too easy to blame the refs. EWU has a good game plan...draw fouls and make us even more short handed.

38 points for us in the half was not bad...

So some brillant logic. - -we come out go down 9-0 , time out , we come out drive the ball , drive the ball , drive the ball , and smothering defense and were right back in it during that time even going up 7. - Then typical us , w start launching 3 after 3 after 3 and what happens ? - -no rebounding , players maker bonehead plays not even thinking- just pathetic every fricken game we go through this , you would think it would sink in - -na surely not

This team always has at least one bad half. Let’s hope that was it.

Well little easier when you wide open

Self must make the adjustment to play 5 6 guys tops this half. Bryce was unplayable

Love it when time after time when we play like crap which is pretty regular how easy it is for people to blame the refs. - But sooner or later just have to swallow the Crimson passion and admit were just playing like crap - - -AGAIN - when you jack up 3's like 10 seconds into the clock - -unless your a decent 3 pt shooting team which were not - -maybe just maybe try to work for the Best shot - - NOT the 1st shot

Bryce is killing us -- Foster can go sit back down again

How will 3 fouls affect Marcus?

@jayballer67

Self got beat coaching wise in the first half. They have packed the lane with 2 3 guys and baited outside shots. And it's worked

@RockChalkinTexas

Like it did Josh Jackson years ago

@RockChalkinTexas said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

bet he doesn't foul the rest of the game

Need some energy right off the bat

@RockChalkinTexas Exactly. We're good when we play with energy, and not so good when we don't.

Play like it's Baylor on the other side and they can win.

Lock in defensively or go home its that simple

This is where Bill needs to change it up. But if history is any indicator he would rather go down in flames with McCormack than play small.

Cmon guys

An athletic guy would block that without fouling

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Dave most assuredly is not

Agbaji is terrible today

good grief we can't shoot

Dave sucks

first stop in a long time and we can't convert on the other end

Dave has all 8 this half

Get with it Dave

Let's go!

Great tv shot! Sarcasm

Agbaji the Brickhouse builder

Need more of that Braun . A lot more

Can't defend against EWU lmao

Damn refs

Fuck you ref

Too many charges in college basketball. Hard to watch

That was an and one. Game changing bad call.

@BShark said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

And agbaji missing 2 free throws like usual. Typical

@betterfireE

Ruined the game

@BeddieKU23 we appear to be choosing the latter

Just don’t see the fire in these guys today. They’re playing tight. Running out of time to loosen up. Gotta find the switch soon.

Agbaji is a deer in the headlights. He's not going to do anything today.

need to make their guards beat us

Finally

not sure what kind of post up D braun was playing there

Sideways

Whatever defense

Walked

Heating up... Keep loose.

Man the fuck up

No wilson is really hurting.

Nice turn around J, Garrett!

Braun is too gun shy

Bsd shot

Get a bucket please

@DanR can't do it sideways

Such an ugly shot

Self looks tight.

@tis4tim said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Self looks tight.

This has been an issue for as long as I can remember. The team feeds off it typically.

Self has to run some misdirection to get driving lanes. They want us to shoot the 3.

Doesn't look like cb hasn't practiced post d

Need to make several KUBUCKETS in a row

Need to stay on their guards like glue and not let them make easy passes to the beard. That's the only idea I have. Plus, make some shots on offense.

Agbaji and bryce 3-14 from 3. Why?

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Yep, just daring it, and it's the right move.

@BShark looking like a man with no answers

@Kcmatt7 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

@BShark looking like a man with no answers

Pretty much the case this year. We really need to add two guards.

Almost half our shots today from 3. I just don't understand the lack of adjustment here

Just gotta go play for the last 10 minutes like they’ve done their whole lives. Don’t over-think it. Just play.

Tanner groves already has career high

@BShark said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Big Timer

Thank God for Harris today

Jaun has a career high

His 3 % has to be getting pretty solid for a “non-shooter”

Keep the lead. Get a turn over

Dude has grown 🏀🏀

The moment doesn’t look too big for Harris.

This doesn't need to be said, but if Harris becomes a reliable 3-point shooter he's going to be an All American

Shooting percentages starting to even out. 52 to 46

Looking forward to the Harris + Walker back court.

!alt text ↗

about time WE had a guy play above his pay grade

And we've had that before. Mason wasn't a great 3-point shooter when he started at Kansas. He worked at it.

Also that d last possession did look a little junky. Didn’t have enough time to really figure it out.

Next man up Juan

Let’s see how our conditioning factors in down the stretch. We should have the advantage there.

Called it

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Definitely trust the staff in these situations.

Harris is 3-4 from 3 today, 5-9 for the rest of the season. Clearly needs to be shooting more.

Harris is the man.

Why

Money.

Mojo!

Harris is a full step faster than that kid guarding him

Getting some lay ups too.

From an Eastern Washington perspective. There is no reason not to go inside to Groves every time.

There just isn't any reason for Mitch to be on the team next year. He doesn't add anything useful.

Bull crap call

Good call lol

Dumba$$

Beard has lost confidence in his shot after missing the last 2

It is weird to watch Dave in the post. I find myself confused a lot of the times too.

Dajuan is playing hard that's for sure.

Time to put this game away.

Big free throws Braun.

You good och?

Love it mg❤️💙

This game is ours!

The thing about daring open threes is eventually even this KU team will make them.

Without Wilson we just don’t have the bodies to go small. Especially with Thompson being OFF this game.

Wow we handle pressure so badly

Looked like Tanner hit it out

Our ball!

Looked out on them

Off the beard

Not by Garrett you idiot

Napoleon gone

I can announce and officiate from here, coach too

The groves parents need to find their sons a barber they do exist

@DanR No he's Arnold from Welcome Back Kotter

Only one barber in the state of Washington

3 possession game.

@DanR atleast he doesn't give them covid

Another couple of big throws.

Wow refs

I started the chant

Get that guy out of here before he hurts someone

Foul on the beard

Ballgame!

@BeddieKU23 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

Must be pretty proud parents, though. Boys have 58 points, against Kansas.

Not gonna lie, they had us there in the first half!

But, there is 2 halves

Vegas line at 10.5 hahhaa

4 points over @benshawks08 's prediction

Nothing but respect for the Groves brothers though, they played their asses off.

Was on the road as parental shuttle service. Glad we didnt lose this to Napoleon Treynomite

Whew. About all I can say about that.

Mg played his ass off too!

Harris and Big Dave deserve some props too.

Nothing for Mitch though. NOTHING.

OH NO HE SCORED

We didn't lose!

Now I can enjoy my Saturday.

I get to fly my #Jayhawks flag proudly!

@BeddieKU23 Exactly why I could never bet on games. Kansas let the player drive and score to make it a 9 pt game.

Mitch had a bucket? Threw his body for a xtra possession and won the jump ball

@Crimsonorblue22 all right. Forgot about the opening tipoff. You know I'm probably one of Mitch's biggest fans.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in That Other Team From Spokane game thread:

I hope we have Wilson mon and it better not be afternoon game!

Coach just said he will be here Monday - - that's good news , don't know how effective will be but anything helps

@benshawks08 when is that game?

Hearing postgame I guess Bill was wondering what we gonna do ? - - we go small ? - -David isn't cutting it - - Mitch isn't cutting it , do we go small? - -let's go small - -and NORM says no and Coach listens

Praise Norm yeah

@DanR Mitch was not on the bench in the 2nd half. Saw come out of locker room just before the end of the game

Well more profound words from Coach Self : - -Again when asked who was the most improved player during the off Season , and he said : - - - -- David McCormack - - HANDS DOWN

@wissox wonder if it was the dive? Did u notice when he went in?

Good in-arena info! I suspect he was getting checked out after auditioning for a reboot of Wipeout.

Is Jalen or Tristan going to be back for Monday or no?

Not Tristan, for sure, was still testing positive a few days ago. I think jalens a go unless anything weird happens.

@mayjay guessing wissox has got the scoop on Mitch by now?

@Crimsonorblue22 Inquiring minds want to know!

Jalen maybe. Then tip time is super important. Lets hope for the late late game

@Crimsonorblue22 @mayjay I didn’t notice the specifics but after watching him return I realized he hadn’t played. I will give a full report when I get home because I hate typing on phones

@wissox You da man!

We can handle "career" games. Jayhawks are cutting the nets. We're winning this tourney. God bless the jayhawks and God bless the usa!!!!!!!!!!

Was our defense lacking today? E Wash scored 84 points and shot 50% from the field. I thought we gave them too much space to shoot their 10/26 3s.

KU's defense was shit today. 46 and 38 points respectively in each half. KU was especially bad at guarding their Duck Dynasty looking player who is their post player which isn't a good sign for Monday because Evan Mobley is an athletic 7 footer who's going to be a top 5 draft pick this year. USC is also a damn good defense ranked 13th in FG% defense with opponents only making 39% against USC.

I just realized we scored 55 points second half. Not something we can ever count on, but nice to see we can put up points sometimes.

8:40 central tip vs. USC. Thank mercy
