We good

I hate buying ESPN+ but I take my kubball very seriously.

@KirkIsMyHinrich It's been a good value for me tbh

Happy to be back with everyone talking KU BALL. Rock Chalk everyone

@KirkIsMyHinrich a lot of games on here.

ESPN+ go out?

I've spent like hours trying to get the stupid thing to work right and finally I have accomplished that thank goodness.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Tartleton Game Thread:

ESPN+ go out?

Currently watching another game to kill time and it's working

Back on! Went out on Mario’s shot

Alright Stanford beat this team by 12 so let's win by more than 12

I'm not even that old, but this ESPN+ crap is going to give me a coronary trying to get it all to work.

Watching Baylor get recognized for their big win while I'm waiting for our game.

@wissox I really dislike when it makes me log in again but I figured out that it seems to avoid that if I open the video in a new tab instead. Very weird.

Same starters tonight

Just had to resign in on a smart TV. Its weird

@BeddieKU23 yeah the only way I can avoid this is watching on PC and opening in a new tab. No idea why...

@BShark Part of my problem is my 7 1/2 year old MacBook Air is starting to give up it's capabilities and one result is videos on ESPN won't play. Had to try on my phone and took the longest to get it to work through the TV.

Incidentally there's about 2000 fans in Waco for their championship ceremony.

Let's get it

The biggest issue for Stanford against this team is they got down early and Tarleton plays VERY slowly on offense. UNI type shit (sorry).

Would love to see Yesufu have a game

@BeddieKU23 :grimacing_face:

Can Wayne Simien just play tonight please

Dave game probably

When is Jalen back?

Is anyone seeing it now? Every time I try it says game starting at 7. It's now 7:02

@KirkIsMyHinrich For North Texas I think

Mine started a few minutes ago. You might try to refresh it

@wissox watchng the game now

@BShark Yep. I watched that Stanford game. Tarleton used up most of the shot clock on their possessions, so it took until midway thru the second half for Stanford to pull away. Got to hit 'em early !

sighhhh

Yep. They know they don't have the dudes so they slow it down.

How do refresh an app on an iphone?

Will rely on the thread for the play by play....

Are you watching it on your phone or your tv?

yikes

Harris off to a really bad start

I'm in. Looks like I haven't missed much.

@wissox definitely going to be a much slower game than MSU

Alright dave

Dave post that hit the rim and bounced in and a CB transition layup.

Tarleton trying to slow it down as much as possible.

Wayne 🥰🥰🥰

I hope hasn't become Doke at the line

Juan very active on d

Great now it all works and it buffers like every 10 seconds

Weird 4 minutes there. Hopefully it's the crowd nerves that will pass

Unimpressive start. Jeez. Who's #3?

First four minutes is always hectic. We'll see how it is when we settle in

A lot of this is because Bill wants to get Dave going.

Let's go #Jayhawks

I brought the energy

You have about a 83% chance of being dunked on by Kansas after a timeout

Juan sucks tonight

Juan is having a rough game so far

He is a safety blanket for Bill, need to put in a scorer.

I'm fine with Dave doing whatever on offense as long as he plays defense

What happened to this thread

Got chopped?

Remy

You'll be smartin if you sleep on Martin

6 minutes in and 6 points against Tarleton???? What up?

I'm trademarking that line

We thought they’d lay down

@DCHawker said in Tarleton Game Thread:

6 minutes in and 6 points against Tarleton???? What up?

Not many possessions.

@DCHawker Tarleton plays really hard. Kansas having trouble getting the offense going. Dave missed a few free throws too

PPP isn't far off where we were against MSU. MSU just turned it over a lot and played fast.

@approxinfinity we are eating 🍿🧂

It's like playing mid-major Virginia or something

Tiny tiny lineup. Remy’s still not fitting quite in yet

I'm digging Dave's defense so far in this game

Bobby

Ochai pure

I’m ready for Billy Gillespies mock funeral for Bruce Weber when he takes over K St

I paid 7 bucks for a crappy feed that stops every 10 seconds. I'm really kind of irate right now.

He lost the handle but he probably also got fouled. They are letting them play

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

It's like playing mid-major Virginia or something

Actually yeah pretty much

Only Dave can get tied up there

With nobody within 10 feet of Bobby

@FarmerJayhawk said in Tarleton Game Thread:

With nobody within 10 feet of Bobby

Billy knows Bill well haha.

It's weird living in Colorado and getting Kansas ads

Does anyone else sing the song when the KU ad plays?

@BeddieKU23 always!

Mitch lmao

@wissox said in Tarleton Game Thread:

I'm trademarking that line
Or you could create Burma Shave signs for a new generation. (Do they even make Burma Shave anymore?)

I can't watch ten games of KU basketball if the feed is going to stop every 10 seconds. I don't know if this is ESPN's fault, my phones fault, the commies fault, but for two hours I've been dealing with trying to get this game going, finally get it going and it's the worst streaming experience I've had.

Great hearing Wayne Simien. I used to see him in Church

Nice hook

JCL can COOK

You don't want to hear me whine all night so see you.

We have so much more firepower on offense than last year

As a backup, you can listen to the radio feed on the KLWN radio website

@BShark beauty

@wissox My feed is pretty good. Maybe it's your phone?

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Our bench can actually score now

JCL is gonna hit the catwalk with that arc

ESPN is so slow to add a score to the screen. Annoying

Feed is good! R u in the sticks?

@KirkIsMyHinrich IDK, I live in Chicago, never had a problem with my phone working.

BOBBBBBBB

Bobby

Bob

@wissox Must be the commies then

@KirkIsMyHinrich Yes! Got to be!

@wissox you have any storms?

Great play

Bobby that board my lord

Old och

Bob is a stud start him idgaf

Ochai smooth

@RockChalkinTexas It's windy out, but nothing else, had a little snow for the first time today.

Bobby is the best bench guard we’ve had since Sherron

Bobby has a lot of Frank in him

Wow ochai that's a sweet shot

@BShark bob doesn’t really hit, huh

@approxinfinity said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Bobby is the best third guard we’ve had since Sherron

Bill went out and got some dudes. Really like the last class and the current one...

Bobby is something else. A real poised guard out there

7 Jayhawks have already scored. Nice.

@BShark He said he wanted some dogs. Looks like he got them

Bobby seals his starting over juan

Oof Yesefu

Sloppy

You think? Juan has done some things

Sloppy right there. Yesufu had been playing well until that turnover

Seatgeek commercials can go straight to hell

I hope I see some Zach and KJ tonight

Man, I love our passing

WOOF

So I can watch without interruption on my phone so the connection to the tv is lacking which is weird because i stream videos to my tv a lot from youtube without a glitch.

Oops!

Unreal

Yes/no

Bad miss by CB but bad decision by Harris too...

KJ

@KirkIsMyHinrich ask and ye shall receive

@FarmerJayhawk Thanks for passing that along to Bill

👏👏👏

KJ

Tough

Tarleton reminds me of the Abilene Christian team that Texas lost to in the NCAA tournament in terms of how hard they play.

Frustrating game

KJ is very scrappy tho

This will end up by 20 it’s just ugly

Very. KJ is a good player. You can tell he just wants to help

@approxinfinity said in Tarleton Game Thread:

This will end up by 20 it’s just ugly

Yeah just tough to see it get close after they got up bt 13 and looked to be putting them away.

I don’t want Juan to go to the pine. I want him to get all the PT he can handle and let Pettiford earn his minutes

7 TOs already after only 9 for the game against Mich St

Now you see KJ's weakness lol

Bobby showing off his ability to avoid charges in the air

Bobby seems really even-tempered for a freshman

Pettiford is just a better player then Harris

Too early in the season for me to say that, but Bobby looks good

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Too early in the season for me to say that, but Bobby looks good

The amazing thing is his poise.

Ok well ball certainly doesn’t feel overly sticky with Bobby out theee

Toughness

@BShark Agree. He kind of has a derrick rose type demeanor where he looks calm all the time.

Ochai the God

Can’t leave them

KJ Adams leaving the player with the ball unguarded

HCBS has a lot to talk about

Disappointing end there

Is Tarleton better than Michigan State?

My column:

Better than KState

@stoptheflop said in Tarleton Game Thread:

KJ Adams leaving the player with the ball unguarded

Bill nailed it, Tarleton got a lot of buckets near the end of the shot clock.

Probably better than Ohio St too.

Everyone knows you can’t leave the ball!🤬

39 points with this pace is quite good.

@BShark said in Tartleton Game Thread:

39 points with this pace is quite good.

Especially considering we missed some lay-ups and free-throws

Don't get me started on Braun

Overall I've liked CB tonight though

Harris and Dave both very bad too.

I really don't think Coach can be that pleased with that 1st half preformance. Ball stickig a lot -- some players getting beat on Defense. - -Think for sure not happy with David as KJ played a lot of minutes in that 1st half. - - Bobby pretty solid again

Ball only stuck on Dave honestly. Other players were passing well.

So, not being able to see the game, but just looking at the stats, can't fathom how we're only up 8. Shoot over 50% and dominate the boards? And, how do we let 2 guys score 29 of their 3 points??? Do we miss Marcus?

Bo Ryan's son is the coach at UWGB and they're playing the Badgers tonight. Bo is on hand for the game which is rare for him. Badgers dominating with defense. GB only 10 points with 6 minutes left in half.

@DCHawker I don't know if you watched Abilene Christian beat Texas in the NCAA tournament last season, but Tarleton plays like that. They play extremely hard and they are trying to slow the game down. They also hit some tough shots at the end of the shot clock and we've missed some lay-ups and free-throws.

Some late lapses basically. KJ had a really bad one where he just left a guy wide open. Defense has been fairly good but they make you defend the whole 30 seconds.

@BShark said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Remy dribbling to much like was mentioned by Wayne get's late well tonight anyways he has been a lot get's late in the shot clock

Decent half. We weren’t great but Bill is also playing tons of lineups trying to figure out rotations.

One of the guys who has 14 on Tartleton has 3 personal fouls though, so maybe we can get him out of the game.

Yeah some lapses but Tarleton also hit a few really tough ones. That probably won't hold up all game with their talent level.

Zach can't be any worse than Dave/Mitch. I'd like to see him get some time..

@BShark like his energy

Dave's defense was okay but he was a black hole on offense

@DCHawker

Really bad d..

@BeddieKU23 Honestly don't think it was too bad. Self has also been doing a little bit of trolling tonight I feel.

@wissox I had a jumpy bad connection too. Was streaming ESPN+ to my phone and then mirroring on my TV. Here's how it got better.

I switched the mirroring to send it to my Roku device. Got a smooth connection but at a lower resolution.

The streaming and the mirroring at highest resolution both go through my wifi. I suspect it used too much bandwidth, and used less when streaming to the Roku. I am going to check my streaming and mirrorring settings on my TV sometime.

I will also see if I can get the ESPN app loaded directly on either my TV or the Roku. That may help.

I’m running it with a Roku stick and hasn’t so much as buffered all night

Not a foul

I'm also using a Roku and it's been fine. Maybe it's the internet?

Agbaji fouled but w/e

Nice pass, Juan

David...

Their 2 guys are 13-19?!?

Come on Dave. Your playing so soft

Dave Armstrong is driving me crazy with all his expert analysis

CB

I can't wait for Ernest to get here

Why are the refs letting the Texan guards camp in the lane?

Playing with more consistency

So to my point about the defense in the first half, it's been worse this half lol.

@stoptheflop said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Bill has been frustrated with the way they are calling this from what I've seen.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Athletic bigs!

Anyone else pissed we can't slow down the only two Texans that can score? Maybe we aren't trying

I thought KU's timeout before was supposed to be the media timeout to avoid this crap?

@BShark No dude we have to sell things

@stoptheflop said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Bill is gonna have some words for them after this game

Fast break: still not awesome

I can’t watch any more because Mexico USA is on :-/ this is the bad part about tv over the internet. No quick last channel functionality… aside from the other things that aren’t good.

Did anyone check stubhub for prices on this game? I'd like to make a trip to ku one of these days to catch a game.

JCL I SEE U

JCL

Cool

Harris can not shoot. Last year was flukey small sample size

Dave god damnit play defense

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Dave god damnit play defense

Pretty please with sugar on top...

Put Adams or Clemence in

Heyyy JCL

Like I said more JCL

Nice pass Remy

Refs are really letting them play lol

Lightfoot. Barf

UPS does more than just deliver

One foul on Tarleton this half the way they are hacking? OKAY

Gillispi is a good coach so he doesn't need the info, but I always wonder in these games if bill just tells the other coach and refs what to exploit.

Remy. Yeeeeesh

@DanR said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Also, he knows Self really really well.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Remy. Yeeeeesh

That's a foul but not in this game.

That foul on Braun looked more like the Tarleton player was using his off-arm

DMac with only 4 pts. Harris 0

@BShark said in Tarleton Game Thread:

@FarmerJayhawk said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Remy. Yeeeeesh

That's a foul but not in this game.

Still have to pass that out. Don’t count on someone to bail you out

Why doesn't Self play Clemence or Adams with Dave struggling and Mitch being Mitch? His rotations are frustrating sometimes.

@stoptheflop said in Tarleton Game Thread:

DMac with only 4 pts. Harris 0

Yeah, I don't understand why Bill seems to love Harris so much. He's OKAY but can't score at all.

Tarleton only has 5 TOs to our 11. WTHeck

11 TOs isn't that bad though with these weird lineups

Remy sucks

Floppy McFlopface

flop warning

Fun to have two players that can't score in at the same time in crunch time.

Scanning the scores, Furman beating Louisville seems to be the biggest name losing to a midmajor

Juan!

@wissox said in Tarleton Game Thread:

UNC down to Brown rn

BLOCK PARTY ! 10 for the game.

Wait Louisville lost that game? lol

Braun's defense has been nice tonight

Mitch brings out the worst in people

THE COVER IS BACK IN PLAY

I swear Dave almost missed that by cocking it lol. Just dunk it dude

KU has Tarleton pretty messed up on D right now....

Green Bay has 24 points at the under 4 TO of the 2nd half

CB with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 blocks tonight!! Doing his best Wilt impression

Never seen so many shirt tails out

@KirkIsMyHinrich That's filling up a box score!

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Tarleton Game Thread:

80s style

They’re usually so picky

Green Bays starters have made 2 baskets. Sorry I like spectacular stats whether good or bad

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Never seen so many shirt tails out

That's a $15,000 dollar fine in the NFL

Harris got fouled.

I have no idea what dajuan is doing

I mean that's an obvious foul though. Dude was impeding him with his arm. Come on

Ochai has a nice stroke

There’s good Remy

so next year will be 50th straight opening home game win.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Ochai has a nice stroke

He has transcended this year

Ochai for POY!!

@DanR we need to go

Bob

Teahan coming

Big storyline: our 1’s were GOOD in the second half

Walk ons will probably kill the cover, damn.

ROCK

CHALK

JAYHAWK

MULLET

lol

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Tarleton Game Thread:

had a ticket for tonight, but I thought, only the 49th straight opening home game? I'll just watch at home and let a friend go

Teahan looking like an 80's movie villain

I’m watching our high school play fb

@Crimsonorblue22 playoffs?

teahan with the stache is cranking it up a notch

@BShark said in Tarleton Game Thread:

@Crimsonorblue22 playoffs?

PLAYOFFS?

Yep

We finally wore down the Texans down the stretch, but I'll tell ya what...you've gotta hand it to Gillispie. He's not afraid to schedule tough teams. Michigan and Gonzaga later this month, plus WSU, all on the road. This is how you build a program.

@DanR said in Tarleton Game Thread:

teahan with the stache is cranking it up a notch

Saw Fargo the other night. He looks like one of those goobers.

How did that go in? lmao

Zach is amazing

Zach just making it rain

@DanR Can I be your friend?

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Shooters shoot

Rainbow Zach sighting!

bounced off the rafters

Is this Clemens first action?

@wissox yes

@BShark Mullet man heard you grumbling about the cover

@wissox said in Tarleton Game Thread:

Is this Clemens first action?

Tonight yes, he had 7 points against MSU. Don't think Self felt comfortable playing him due to Tarleton not really playing any bigs.

got the W some had good game others not so much. Game was kind of hard to watch from the defensive side, countless times getting beat off the dribble drive. Lot's of blocks good but have to also take into consideration size difference. - - hey we got the W Another solid game by Bobby , KJ was good- -Christan good all around game but DID get beat multiple times off the dribble - -but now on to the next game - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Bulls-Warriors starting up. I'm back on the Bulls bandwagon. Lots of games tonight in lots of sports.

On to substate

@wissox UCLA-Nova later. I don't even know who I want to win that

Oakland beat Ok St 56-55

@KirkIsMyHinrich ucla

Enjoy watching Wigs and Gary Payton Jr play together...and Steph of course.

@nwhawkfan Man I want to watch it all but my wife might want to watch something non sports related.

Zach will start at the 4 next year.

Interesting game. Not easy playing against all those little guards.
I had no ESPN+ issues. I stream thru the app on my TV, which is hard wired.
New favorite player: KJ
New favorite announcer: Wayne! Excellent job. Very knowledgeable I thought.
So it looks like Remy needs time to learn how to play within Self’s system. Understandable. Just hope he and Self don’t have it out.
We need a big.

@rockchalkjayhawk I like Adams too. Starting to think that the Wilson 4-game suspension - though bad for him - was good for the team. No way that Coach cannot play Adams or Clemence. Will Wilson see a decrease in minutes? Yeah. But it is good for the team. Agbaji? If he keeps going like he is, could be a lottery pick.

@rockchalkjayhawk I loaded the ESPN app onto my Roku today so future games should be better. Plus, I will now be able to watch the games and follow game threads simultaneously!

I usually just go to game threads at halftime and maybe commercials. Brainpower? Ha! More likely my limited attention span helps me when I switch. Drinking helps...or makes you think it helps.

Wichita St. plays Tarleton on Tuesday. Could be interesting
