At least we aren't waiting for Duke to finish their 2 hour and 15 minute game

We good.

We'll see how the team handles the pressure. Och was on the 18'19 team that broke the streak.
Let's go #Jayhawks ❤💙

got my sunglasses on to view that court

The best part of ESPN+

Lance Blanks will get to talk about his book collection

Damn love the aggressiveness

Redicilous

Not great!

Omg dave

TCU #4 has a big body.

@tundrahok said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

TCU #4 has a big body.

Was something like 350 when he got there

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Omg dave

I just don't get the feed the post strategy. It results in way less than 1 pt per possession....

Dave benched in a minute

Sure

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Sure

Yeah I can live with that shot for TCU

We have 44 going up🤔

@DCHawker

Extremely poor post entry team

I will argue with anyone mitch is as bad at free throws as doke was

Mitch keeping us in this one as predicted

Keep clanking layups

Nice Jalen

Wow

Nice

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Keep clanking layups

It's been an issue all year - not so much missing them, but not going up strong to initiate contact and draw fouls...

three good offensive possessions for Wilson starting with crashing the boards (on Mitch's make)

This is one of the best 2 point shooting teams in Self's tenure actually. Always frustrating to see the misses though.

I hate that call there

Frustrating to see Braun shy away from contact the way he does. Its an auto 2 free throws for most people

I really dislike that floor

The TCU made shot from the elbow gives me hives. CB misses a layup then Mitch and Jalen get it done.

Imo this is the least talented team in the league but yet Dixon has coached this group up well

@BShark we better be good!

Just checked. Best 2 point % for a KU team since the 2010-11 juggernaut.

@RockChalkinTexas said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

I really dislike that floor

I have a story about that it will wait until half.

Och so good

I like the floor, better than the dark ones

@BeddieKU23 he sai

That's what I am talking about

Boy we gotta figure something out on ball screens its like we are always reacting

looks like that University of Northern Iowa dude

Remy + 4 starters. Better strategy for him than last game.

Terrible shot

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Boy we gotta figure something out on ball screens its like we are always reacting

HCBS talks about ball screen issues all the time and you would think it's a focus of practice, but nothing changes - same issues every effing game....

big mismatch according to Blanks

Dave

Lol spazy dave

Mr Inertia, Dave

2 attempted entry passes to Dave and 2 TOs...

Release the Remy!

I thought the passes were bad

KJ time to be next man up

@DCHawker said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

2 attempted entry passes to Dave and 2 TOs...

Scream.

@DCHawker

We just don't have the bigs and guards to hedge them. Och just iced to the left and forced a wild shot. He's about the best at making someone go to a spot we want

We're making shots, but only 2 rebounds. They have 5 offensive board to our 2 defensive boards. Not great.

@DCHawker

Dave just spazzed and hit the ball instead of catching it

I increased my intraweb speed to ridiculous amounts, and it is incredible how much better ESPN + plays...

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

@DCHawker

Dave just spazzed and hit the ball instead of catching it

Alas, Spazz is his middle name...

Only 3 guys have scored so far. Jalen with 9, mitch with 5 and och with 3

Did you call Geico??

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Bad pass by Och who got into a bad spot because of Remy's freelancing.

@BeddieKU23 No, but I'm willing...

Lucky

lol okay

BANK

Wow

Take it

Dajuan Harris had his head down on offense not expecting the ball

Going on record I do not like Och out with Juan and Mitch in.

10-2 TCU RB advantage....

It's kind of cool when Remy is in, because we get to see all kinds of new plays and wrinkles on offense

Too much Remy.

Bout time cb showed up

Is Braun nicked up or something?

Sit Harris please

Harris...

SMDH

Foul on dave???

Weird call

13-3 TCU RB advantage. 6-0 on ORBs.....

@DCHawker

Mitch didn't even try on the last one they got on offense

We are playing our clumsy offense. Again.

HOW DO YOU MISS THAT

Oh well.

Sure

Has Dave ever held the ball through contact??????

@DCHawker said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Has Dave ever held the ball through contact??????

Never

rebound the ball.

junk shot...

Bulllcrap

suuure

we're letting an inferior team gain confidence...sigh.

come on guys

Need to put Mitch back in

@Jethro said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

we're letting an inferior team gain confidence...sigh.

You are not suggesting you are surprised by that - just frustrated, right???

Can't make a bunny

@RockChalkinTexas

Dave can't even get a shot up while fouled

This game is being lost on the glass period

Trend continues. -9 with Remy on the floor in 8 minutes.

@Kcmatt7

Ruined the team

Partially blocked?

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

@Kcmatt7

Ruined the team

I’m worried that this is how this team will get remembered. Will absolutely ruin Och’s special season and change what the narrative should be

I think he's got them focused on rest instead of winning.

Just the dumbest play ever there

They are too tall at every position.

@Zabudda said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

They are too tall at every position.

They aren't bigger than us - just playing that way...

I can't believe we're shooting over 50%.

Totally losing this on the boards

We have only 2 TOs, which is pretty remarkable for us, but getting killed on the boards....

Juan is moving in slow motion. Put Joe in...

Good job cb. Good job

That's a foul

Och has to just dunk the F out of that

JCL🙌

JCL

Announcer Blanks is enjoying this game, LOL

3-pointers can sure turn things around pretty quickly.

5-8 from 3 is keeping us in this....

J3L

doing better on the boards last few TCU misses too

oh boy last shot time

nuthin

That was fitting,

I have no clue what we do at end of halfs

Have we ever scored on the last shot of the half?

@BeddieKU23 super weird for Bill.

Probably doesn’t help he’s ran the same play for 18 years 😂

Och 2-8 continuing his hot streak from last game

Och made a three one time to put a game in OT, and harris made a layup against ISU. Other than that, I don't remember ever making a shot at the end of a half. (I'm sure we have... right?)

Och 10 for his last 32 shots.

@BeddieKU23 He's due!

Welp. Need to see some fight - too much teflon...too much going thru the motions. Wake Up!

Tcu 13 to 8 advantage from the bench and plus 6 on boards

The new rotation sucks. The 2 small guards has been not good. Pick Remy or Yes to backup Harris. Play JCL to sub the wings

@BeddieKU23 and we are ahead by 1.

Gotta crash the defensive boards harder and try to keep running and pushing tempo

When this arena was started in 2015 and we were playing there I noticed that during our free throw attempts the center court scoreboard would strobe towards the foul line. It would reflect off the backboard and white floor so much you could see it on the shooters face. And then I noticed it was only flashing on our attempts. Second half same thing different end. I found the B12 commissioners email and reported it. It stopped but I don't know if it was me or not.

@Zabudda Tech does the same thing

@DCHawker said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

5-8 from 3 is keeping us in this....

Somehow only down 6 on the glass now.

62.5% from 3 and 40% from 2. Crazy.

@BShark

Bombs away day

Greg Ostertag sighting in the crowd tonight. Oh year, and LaDanian Tomlinson.

(Oh Yeah)

Announcers lying. Box score shows 14 rebounds for us.

Just win. I don't care how ugly

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Just win. I don't care how ugly

Amen

Beware of the Frog! That's funny.

Harris is not moving well

Dave hasn't gotten his money's worth on fouls

Blanks, Dave brings the ball down every time. Every time.

I didn't think Dave pushed!

My God this team can't rebound

Och 10 for 33 and not even coming close

Bad bunny Dave

I can't even with dave

Dave 😞

YIKES

Swell

Pitiful

Loser mentality out there

@BeddieKU23 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Loser mentality out there

We do not look like we want to be here

Sick defense #44

definitely a motivational speech happening by Bill right now

It's perplexing that we have won 23 games and look like something other than good. I give up. Come on hawks!

Harris has to be at 50 minutes without a bucket and he still plays. I just cant

We aren't controlling the tempo.
We aren't going on offense. Too many passes

Again, I wonder, is Braun nicked up, or is he just repeating what he did at the end of last year?

Harris is making Dave stretch!

...

Dave couldn’t have timed that block attempt worse 😂

Pathetic announcers

Effort is good right now. Just can't his the ocean. I'm glad there is still almost 15 minutes left to get our crap together

We can be better than this. Zone.

We just getting Barn Stomped on the boards pathetic effort

TCU not shooting especially well - we are just worse...

Just got home and thought I’d check the board to see how we’re doing before tuning in. Against my better judgement I’m gonna watch. Starting now …

@DanR said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Again, I wonder, is Braun nicked up, or is he just repeating what he did at the end of last year?

not sure about being nicked up but Coach all up in his ass for effort no problem yanking him - Coach not happy with Christan AT ALL

@tis4tim we really can't be any worse

We're shooting 50% from 3 and just over 33% from 2....

You can thank we when we win 😊

he didn't even half both feet on the floor

That’s a block

Agbaji losing the game by himself

Slowly pissing away the 1 seed

Her is a little news flash. - -This Team- - -this team right here , they put this kind of efffort in the NCAA's we out - - solid chance for 1st round exit

Harris has 0 points in two games (52 minutes)

We might have peaked too soon

Ok. Momentum shifts now.

It does feel like we’re down more than just five lol

Here we go!

this rebounding is screwed -3 shots at the rim GOD they are sad

This going to Mitch as an option speaks volumes.

We look tentative. This is where Bill needs to calm the troops and get them to loosen up. CB not even looking for his shot. Och all scattershot with the dribbling. Still lots of time. Not concerned yet.

TCU 15 offensive rebounds - - total rebounds being beaten up on the boards - - minus 9 -- KU only 8 offensive rebounds

This game is about runs. We’re overdue for a good one. Lots of fits. Time for some starts.

Bill is too wound up. Team is taking after him.

time to start chucking threes

Losing all composure

@tis4tim said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Bill is too wound up. Team is taking after him.

No he is trying to get this fricken team to do SOMETHING - - ANYTHING the bigs tonight are pathetic - -with a capital P

We need rebounds, why the hell is KJ out there? It's been about a month since he got a rebound.

our six turnovers have been doozies

Whatever this team found after the UK game they lost it after the 8 minute mark Saturday. Mojo is gone

now Clemence coming in

You have one job, Zach. Rebound.

That's a nasty looking cut

@DanR while being mugged

Flagrant?

when did he get hit?

The Texas method is still working again. Rough us up.

Zero points in 3 minutes cool

@DanR said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

when did he get hit?

I think when he turned around with the ball.

Temy!

you know Remy is in when three guys all run into each other on offense

I meant Remy!

Bad shot Jalen

Travel?

Welp.

🤦‍♀️OMG

Travel.

Foreshadowing our round of 32
Clemence rebounds and is tougher than any bench big and plays the least

Bills fully screwed this team

I liked that Zach didn't back down. Good for him.

All right, try to salvage something here

Still not over yet. Gotta make some ground up in the next 4 minutes.

Starters back in here comes that top 5 offense

Need to get JCL in there firing some bombs

Starters in. Watch us close the gap.

All arm

No foul?

That play had a travel, a foul, and an embarrassing miss.

Crikey I heard that slap all the way in my living room.

@Kcmatt7 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Starters in. Watch us close the gap.

I think they're in for the rest of the game to at least try to get some rhythm back

Zone?

@Kcmatt7 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Starters in. Watch us close the gap.

Our starters are shooting 13-42 tonight so far.

Hack and slap. Hack and slap.

Dave from the line: 7/8

Dave from 3 feet and in: 2/6

Literally nothing going our way. Can’t even make a front end

Wilson!

Gotta get up and drive

We have two more games this week!

Gotta hit em

Och!

About damn time

Och! Still don't understand why Braun is not shooting threes

Still a chance

Here we go!

Only us optimists left here I guess

Wilson!

Looked like a push off

That’s the dagger

Looked like another push off.

Miles extended the forearm a bit there, should've been an offensive foul.

Well TCU just played their super bowl. How much money do other teams make off us for their one big event?

Pretty good player (Miles) and it's nice that he doesn't act like a tool

Best pnr big defender? Zach
But he’s not ready
Mitch comes in gets burned first play

Juan scored in how many minutes?

Yes had some blow buys. Got blown buy once...how many Juan given up 1 on 1.

Round of 32....followed by 3 more years of Harris starting at the 1 and oh boy if big Dave comes back Udeh might as well decommit

@RockChalkinTexas looked like they sold a lot of beer

Jcl!

Heat check a little short

Score was closer than this game ever felt

still a chance. An unlikely chance, but still...

So we tied for lead in conference now with 2 left barring any miracles?

Braun had Och in the corner....athleticism hurting him

@tis4tim said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

So we tied for lead in conference now with 2 left barring any miracles?

1/2 game down now technically. Equal losses now, but Baylor has one more win.

@kuballin10 ochai 4 for 16 though.

CB!

The clock???

Why was the clock running on a made shot?

@approxinfinity said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

We lost like 10 seconds

Gotta hit FT.

natives getting nervous

2 poss. Game

Can we get those 10 seconds back?

Good foul, KJ. That was going to be another dunk

Jamie spends more time on the floor than Weber, and that's not easy to beat

Lets see if TCU starts to tighten.

Yesufu is down

You couldn’t ask for a better look for a 45% shooter

Wish we would have played them in January instead

Oof.

@RockChalkinTexas said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

Wish we would have played them in January instead

This isn't the postponed game, that's Thursday nights game.

Micah Peavy can come play here next season if he wants

Man oh man.

Baugh kid is clutch from the line.

@approxinfinity he’s still the best shooter
We are getting beat and they are shooting 20% from three

Tcu just grown man’d us just like usc...we will go 5 losses in a row in the ncaa tourney by double digits at this rate.

2020 obviously screwed us

When Bill brings back McCormick and starts him and Juan next year might as well not watch because Och will be gone and this team minus Och is scary to think about

Blew it

Good night

In the immortal words of Lloyd Bridges, I picked the wrong time to stop sniffing glue

@Kcmatt7 won’t know the system or defend properly so he won’t get but 5 minutes a game

Well see ya next time around.

I just don’t see much toughness with this team. Gonna have to win our last two now. Put ourselves in a difficult spot.

Back on the treadmill Thursday. RCJH

Not sure the content we get is worth paying for espn+ anymore.

You sound like parrot, get some new material. All of your posts are 1 of 3 things, find something different to bitch because that's all you do. Dejuan sucks, Self screwed the team up, round of 32 exit, that's all you ever say.

KU shot like shit tonight period.

@Texas-Hawk-10 let me know when it’s not applicable

Goodnight, all. Should be a much better result Thursday.

@kuballin10 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

To summarize...
Dave missed more bunnies than TCU made 3pt shots.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Put him on ignore. He only shows up to troll.

that's cause there isn't any toughness on this team. A big part of rebounding as one aspect is all about want to - -who on this team wants to - -cause it get's pretty physical - -who on this team likes physicality? - Tell me

@jayballer67 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

You're right.

We had a brief discussion yesterday about what sorts of teams we'd like to avoid in the tourney. Some mentioned athletic bigs, others mentioned a big PG. For me, it's all dependent on how physical the game is allowed to get.

We saw it against Texas and against TCU last night that when we get pushed around we can't or won't push back. The only fire I saw was the :26 seconds of Zack when he got in the face of the TCU player that raked him across the face. Then he had to leave to get his wounds tended to.

Other than that, I saw lots of pointless dribbling, even from Och who I suppose was trying to create his shot, but still. I saw CB almost afraid to take a shot and Harris was unable or unwilling to drive among the trees. Wilson seemed a bit aggressive, but you can't do it alone. We were timid, no doubt about it.

I don't want to make this a referendum on Remy, but he's been back two games and we've lost both. I've gone on record that I like Remy, but coming back this late in the season when we seemingly had found a groove is more of a distraction than a help, IMO.

Anyway, I hope Zack gets rewarded for his :26 seconds of aggressiveness with some substantial PT on Thursday.

Two winnable home games coming up and we can claim another title. Hope we dig deep and fight for it, because I didn't see much fight in the game last night.

@tis4tim

I've mentioned different kinds of toughness before. Mental and physical.

I thought we were pretty good in both areas in Waco, but we went cold and lost.

I missed the second half of last night's game (lucky me). But I imagine we just played flat and without inspiration. The first half was flat.

I'm an old fart. A baby boomer. We come ready for everything. I'm even psyched to go to the dentist.

I will never understand college basketball today and watching players not prepared to leave blood on the court. Do they not realize that this is the legacy they will leave behind? Imagine carrying this all forward in life where people (and you) talk about your playing days and what will they say?

BTW: I'm not just directing this at our guys. It's a phenomenon all through college basketball. I like our team and think they do better than many teams out there... just not enough to be consistently dominant.

I'm holding onto hope for March... just hoping this all clicks inside of them and they figure out how to come out with a burning, relentless desire every game!

@tis4tim @drgnslayr
All great points. To my simple brain, it seems when we play a team that really defends aggressively, especially the 3 pt line, we struggle a bit.

Even more so when Och is bottled up.

To me, that’s when we really need a guy like Remy to step up and break down the defense.

I don't know enough psychology to dispute what you say. I don't think we play flat but we seem to play tentative and confused about how to score. It's not being inept but more like a lack of aggression. We seem to lack sharpness in our passing and forget the fact we are supposed to score. Don't bemoan a trey attempt early in possessions. I thought CB passed up several open looks and Daj says I ain't gonna take a shot and chance a miss. J3L is an example of just let it fly along with Och. Harris needs to keep driving down hill and chuck it up all the time.
I don't see them acting discouraged but maybe reluctant to play freely.
We seem on the brink of being blown out tooooo much for my liking.
The Kentucky and Texas games show that many teams can smack us around and make us like it.
I don't see an answer at this time.
YUCK!

@drgnslayr said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

I’m even psyched to go to the dentist.

Now I know you're lying! J/K, @drgnslayr. Thanks for the chuckle. I needed that this morning.

@Zabudda said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

This.

Goes back to my comment about how tightly wound Self tends to be at times and to those who have made comments over the years about the short leash certain players have with him at the helm.

Whether he knows it or not, the players sense that pressure and tend to play not to make mistakes rather than just playing. This has been an issue as long as Self has been here, IMO. And the more gravity the game has, the more it seems to be an issue.

Say what you want about Bobby Knight chucking a chair across the court or Roy Williams shedding his sport coat and winging it into the fourth row, but those antics can certainly take the pressure off and, in a rather odd way, lighten the mood so to speak. I'm not suggesting Self rip out his hair and mop up floor sweat with it (though I'd love to see that), but I'd like to see him work on his poker face during pressure-packed games.

I wonder if Bill isn't losing the team. Never have seen such a listless effort. Maybe it's because they're tired...I'm not sure.

@Jethro said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

I wonder if Bill isn't losing the team. Never have seen such a listless effort. Maybe it's because they're tired...I'm not sure.

The only way I worry about this is if guys feel like Remy doesn't deserve to be playing. Otherwise this team has played hard all season long. Not sure why now (other than the Remy situation) they would decide to quit.

@Jethro said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

I kinda wonder myself. - I think it was coming close to boiling point last night - with all the subbing he couldn't find the right one and I think he is getting really frustrated with the effort of multiple players

KU is in the midst if playing 4 games in 8 days and could potentially play up to 7 games in 15 days. This team is also dealing with injuries with Dave being the most important injury right now. These players are also not used to playing that many games in that short of a time frame because that's an NBA type schedule. It's also possible all 7 of those games come against NCAA tournament teams as well. That's a brutal stretch and load management is important when dealing with a team that's less than 100%

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Control our Destiny Game Thread:

That’s a brutal stretch and load management is important when dealing with a team that’s less than 100%

I agree but then we should have just decided to punt the Baylor game and save everything for TCU and Texas. But we came out smoking against Baylor and it probably surprised everyone. To put in the effort we did on both sides of the ball only to lose with our full schedule was probably not optimal.

Reading the obituaries for our team, and the bizarre psychological assessments that wandered all the way to HCBS losing the team, I guess we should just stop watching and give up. Maybe next year should be better.

@drgnslayr I don't get psyched to go to the dentist but I admit I always leave blood there!

@Kcmatt7 The last time we lost back to back games by double digits was back in 2003. Something was missing last night- worst offensive output of the year, manhandled on the boards- this was Kentucky all over again. Now, we could easily come back, and win by 20 against them on Thursday, and throttle Texas as well. But we have to fight much harder than what we showed the last 2 games.

@mayjay We're crying about the team, and you're crying about us. We will be fine. We will stomp them on Thursday, and we'll be happy again. It's not fatal- I think we had a lost weekend on a Tuesday night. It looked to me like the team quit on Coach for that game. It happens. It happened last year against USC. You're telling us to get over it- you get over it. Let us mourn for a day, for gosh sakes. It's been 18 years since we have been smashed like this- these things take time.

@mayjay

Ha... me, too!

I'm not letting the remaining year performance get me too down. Obviously, I hope we do well. But the world is crumbling while there is beautiful, warm sunshine outside. I have my focus where it needs to be!

You will be surprised! When I finally go to the dentist it's usually because I have such extreme pain going on and am excited to end the pain. On one visit my dentist told me that he has never seen the level of inflammation around a tooth I had! Just because you can endure pain doesn't mean you should. I should listen to my own advice! ha

Well been talking to friends , and now that I have had time to calm down not talk out of emotions - and think about things realistically , like others have said that I have talked to I too NOW realize I'm not ready to jump ship like some. Does it suck the way we played Tuesday ? - Hell ya it does , but look at it this way - What's the chances of Och going 4-17 again tonight ? - -Do we think that we get better effort across the board tonight ? - - -Hell ya.

Thing is This is still a team that will make seconf d round , This is a team that iis capable of reaching the final four, fully expect them to come out of this mini slump they are in - -they gonna be playing on Neutral floor in tourney - -they STILL ended up 5-4 on the road what is perceived as the toughest Conference in College Basketball. We have a Guard shooting 51 % from the floor in Braun - we have chances are an All American in Och - -Still think Dave will play better - -Just got to learn to hang on to the rebound quit getting it taken away - -GRAB THE DAM BALL SY - - -THIS IS MINE.

Now am I saying we WILL reach the final four - -- umm now , what I am saying is we can -w do have the components. - were just in a little mini slump but I think that can be worked out. Evey tetam has thoughs. Do we have weakeness that's been exposed ? - - Ya - -but so do other teams - every team has a weakness. - -Bottom line I'm staying with the boys - -they gonna right this & we gonna make a run. - You figure we either gonna play a 15-16 seed 1st round and go from there- - ONE game at a time - -Just saying we can do this if things fall right - -umm ya - -but we aref for sure through the 2nd weekend. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
