We good.

@BShark we good!

Expecting a big bounceback tonight. This team has too much pride to let the Frogs take two in a row from them.

Fans need to step up too. Been a bit too laidback lately.

Please re my post on the previous game thread. Thanks

As for tonight, come on Hawks give me a really nice birthday present. A 25 point blowout would be great.

We need to come out mad. Bill should have them fired up. Actually, Bill shouldn't need to. They should be embarrassed about the last game, and pissed.

TCU Part Deux

Let's go #Jayhawks

❤💙🙋‍♀️

Will be interesting to see how the game is ref'ed tonight.

Come on guys. Give us a good one.

Defend home court

I was hoping Zach would start, following Tait's ranking of players in the last game. Not expecting, but hoping. Reward the effort and attitude.

LETS GO

According to Fran we should be a 10 point favorite because of the refs

Higgins 🤦‍♀️

@RockChalkinTexas Oh shit

@jessejayhawk Thank goodness Fran is too important to comment on ESPN+

@tundrahok You are wright, my bad

Counterpoint: Blanks is worse 😳

Och making up for his classic bonehead move

@FarmerJayhawk Is that who is talking now? I don't listen too much to the second-teamers.

@FarmerJayhawk He is right in there with Bil Walton

Juan makes up for his mistake- good play.

Yeah he’s on color. Makes my ears bleed

Great feed David

@FarmerJayhawk and to think these F'ers get paid to be obnoxious

Get the boards

JUAN!!!

@jessejayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

@FarmerJayhawk and to think these F'ers get paid to be obnoxious

For real they should just pick a few of us at random. Much cheaper!

BOOYAH

JUANDO

@FarmerJayhawk and better

Good start🙌

juando, the scoring machine! that was a really, really nice move...me likey.

How can there be only 3 rebounds combined nearly 5 minutes into the game?

@tundrahok no misses

lamkin is fouling everytime he touches the ball...

Wonder what lampkin looked like before wt loss

Prison Mitch

Hate that pass underneath

Oh Mitchell

OH HAI

@Crimsonorblue22 just like he looks now, a " fat ass"

Keep the foot down

@jessejayhawk oh my! Hey big Dave lost a lot too. Can't imagine playing that heavy

Remy time 😳

@Crimsonorblue22 How bout keeping the foot "up". Up their ass.

Bank

Lunardi said if we win we stay 1 seed

Hey hey Remy’s +/- is still not negative!

@FarmerJayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

Hey hey Remy’s +/- is still not negative!

Yet, lol.

@FarmerJayhawk Keep your fingers crossed

Let's keep shooting 80%. That would be fun.

Sigh

Weeeeeeee

cumon Och remy is not 7 ft tall

Not a bad shot but you’d like to see at least one pass

Not that fake

I've seen enough Remy

0 fouls

Yes!

@BShark I agree

@BShark So has Bill.

Other side

All ball

Just now able to watch. The good is that we're up by 8. The concerning part is that they are again beating us on the boards and they are 0-5 from 3 but still are just down 7
...

Oh ffs Dave

Whoa

Oh my, Juan.

F Me

🐇 missing if found return to AFH

Glad to see Higgins call one of three fouls on Mitch

44

lol go Mitch!!

Ref can piss off

Where was the T

@FarmerJayhawk 44 said something

Soft T but Mitch has to watch it. Refs always call the second guy.

Prison Mitch makes an appearance...lol

Gotta save the comments for when the refs aren't so close.

Walk

It was a stupid but legit T....

@DCHawker said in Revenge Game Thread:

It was a stupid but legit T....

If it was you have to call it on Lampkin for the Harris block. I prefer letting it go both ways.

OMG

Cb come on

Yikes

Really?

They flipped from letting everything go to nothing in like 5 seconds

Jalen 1 on 4, but at least he went semi-strong to the hoop...

We are so stumbley

Does Dave get a board for catching an airball?

Cb scored ?

@Crimsonorblue22 Not yet.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Revenge Game Thread:

Cb scored ?

The answer would be no....

Bad shot leads to points ofc

Self yelled at ref

@RockChalkinTexas said in Revenge Game Thread:

Self yelled at ref

Needs to do the same with his team...

Just like before with them getting to the rim over and over is disaster for the Jays

Make these FTs

@Zabudda said in Revenge Game Thread:

Just like before with them getting to the rim over and over is disaster for the Jays

Our bigs are very bad defensively. Been a problem all year.

Not a good omen that Miles is 0-fer and Ochai is 6-9 and we are just up 2....

Whew

CB

ZACH

And now he’s gonna get pulled

Oh man

Sounds like Clemence was in concussion protocol after that elbow on Tuesday which is why he never came back. I don't even remember seeing him on the bench after the elbow either.

That’s the problem with Zach. Can’t hold position yet

@FarmerJayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

That’s the problem with Zach. Can’t hold position yet

How many really can against Lamkin though? Dude is huge

So, on that Miles 3, Ochai did NOT hedge hard - half-hearted defensive effort...

@Texas-Hawk-10 He went straight to the locker room

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Revenge Game Thread:

@FarmerJayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

Definitely not against Lamkin. Got moved easily by Peavy

Well that sucked

12 point lead to tied. Eerily similar to Baylor???

They just toy with our defense.

Getting dominated on the boards again

@tundrahok said in Revenge Game Thread:

@Texas-Hawk-10 He went straight to the locker room

I know he went back for stitches, but I don't remember seeing come back to the bench at all Tuesday.

Even though they said concussion, he wouldn't be playing! They said he was woozy, probably from getting stitches.

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

One Major question. - - was Fans not allowed into the phog for tonights game ? - - MY GOD you can hear a pin drop in that place, and when THEY DO SCORE- - it's like a volley in a tennis match - -Nice wine and cheese few claps - - where in the hell are the Students - -pathetic effort by the fans tonight

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Revenge Game Thread:

Even though they said concussion, he wouldn't be playing! They said he was woozy, probably from getting stitches.

Being in concussion protocol doesn't necessarily mean someone has a concussion. Just being examined for one and if Clemence was woozy on the way back to Lawrence, he was probably showing signs in the locker room.

What stands out. Still getting killed on the boards. They have more FTA when we are at home. Ochai is really our only scoring option, but he has zero RBs or assists and 3 TOs. We need everyone contributing on the glass against this team....

TCU closed the half on a 27-15 run

@jayballer67 So far not much for them to get excited about

@DCHawker said in Revenge Game Thread:

Among others. We go cold for long stretches.

@jayballer67 So far not much for them to get excited about

well when you jump out 20-8 -- the fans should be all over that with the fans realizing that TCU just spanked our ass the night before last

Hopefully, Self brought a big bag of 'RED ASS". The team needs some applied

the team has been bad defensively all year

Och scores 12 early then I dunno must of went to concessions for a Chili dog

@jayballer67

Just like Babe Ruth.

would someone PLEASE explain to me what they see in TCU.- they rebound - - AND ? -they spanked us there and now being a pain in our ass here. I will say I've said this for a long time even when he was at Pitt, I've always like Jamie , thought TCU made a good hire when they hired him. He finally got SOME talent at TCU this year but -- what the hell am I missing

Just got home. Per the comments I see our team has been typecast. Gotta change the script.

Please no more Thunderstruck.

Am I seeing things. When Remy comes in the game, the team cheistry seems to go to crap. I like the guy but he does not seem to get the team motivated

Wilson!

Nice

Always need a weak side rebounder for Dave

But they had a too easy answer...

2-10 shooting from 3 for both teams...

Och!

Atta kid

With the Eurostep

Och wtf

Wow.

Short arming everything

Y I K E S

Need some shooters

Jeez man. This looks like the same as last game.

Matadors

Sadly, It just may be that the state of Texas teams are just better. We haven't evinced much to the contrary...

Och to far out!

We are getting out-efforted by TCU...

How many open 3s have we given them?

It is so painful to watch. I threw a fit, fell on the floor, held my breath and my wife called me stupid.

I'm doing my part.

@Zabudda My little dog is hiding under the bed.

Better wake up. I can’t recall a KU team ever blowing a 2-game conf. Lead with 4 to play.

@jessejayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

@Zabudda My little dog is hiding under the bed.

LMAO

Was just a matter of time before Dixon got a team to perform

Sigh.

@RockChalkinTexas said in Revenge Game Thread:

They aren't making 3s - they are beating us everywhere else on the floor. No intensity by the Hawks. No one doing much of anything. Ochai scoring, but not contributing anywhere else. Dave 1-5 from 3 ft. No bench production. CB has mostly been a no-show.

No defense

Dave in a 1v1 right under hoop gets stripped more than any player ive seen

@approxinfinity because he puts the ball on the floor every single time

This unraveled quickly.

Cb shoot it

Harris!

C’mon crowd.

YES

Yes!

YES(ufu)

We've hit a couple of shots, but we simply cannot get stops. Our defense is non-existent....

Atta kid Juan

Harris heating up.

Oh JCL

Foul?

Dajuan has a bit of the clutch in him

Ugly

Imagine if we could get stops, might be leading LOL

Sick of this commercial!

Damion Baugh is 9-10 from the line against KU. He is a 60% ft shooter. Of course.

JCL scrappin

Anyone hear anything further on Svi's parents?🇺🇦🙏

I like JCL!

TCU hasn't scored 80 points in about 16 games since
against Grambling. But they are on a 80+ pace now. We simply make other players and teams look like offensive juggernauts...

Notably no Remy

Bad shot Och

@FarmerJayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

Bad shot Och

Agree - 1 for his last 7...

@BShark said in Revenge Game Thread:

Imagine if we could get stops, might be leading LOL

once again it is our awesome defense we just flat shut teams down

Finally

CB!

There we go

@RockChalkinTexas said in Revenge Game Thread:

No darn it.

Boxers Lomachenko, Usyk and the Klitchso brothers all joined up/

Go cb!

Smart TO by Dixon.

CB has just got to shoot the ball more - keeps turning down wide open shots

Up on him

If I can shovel and haul 30 wheelbarrows of soil over the last 2 days, then they can close this out NOW!

Stay aggressive!

Amazing what happens when you rebound

GOD we can't shake these guys - -I just don't get it. - The guys FINALLY starting to go after the ball on missed shots

We had our best stretch in two games.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Revenge Game Thread:

Amazing what happens when you rebound

Thank you

Need a stop or 2

Well, we can't complain about the refs - 17 fouls on TCU to just 7 on the Hawks. We are going to have to make FTs down the stretch...

@RockChalkinTexas said in Revenge Game Thread:

Need a stop or 2

Or 9

We have JUST GOT to get more production out of Dave and Jalen. - - radio announcer says OCh looks tired. - - And the others aren't ? - -come on just looking for excuses

@RockChalkinTexas said in Revenge Game Thread:

TCU shooting 50%

Can we get CB a nice phatty endorsement deal to stay at KU next year?

Thank you

Time for a run.

@tis4tim said in Revenge Game Thread:

Time for a run.

That requires stops...

Out of bounds

@DCHawker said in Revenge Game Thread:

That requires stops…
Indeed

High risk low return

Yes

Free throws :grimacing_face:

TCU in big foul problems

Gut foul

Stops

He said a naughty word

JWill hammered all night

Last 1-1. Need to make this Jalen...

Gotta hit freebies.

Dammit

Smh that’s gonna bite us

we can't key free throw and losing opportunity to stretch this

How many front ends of 1-1s have we actually made over the past few games...

Posting up

Harris on Miller LMAO

The rare good play on defense!

Chicky bum chicky bum

That was SWEEEEET

@approxinfinity we can't go stagnant

Och has just lost his shot late - -and FINALLY - - FINALLY CB tarting to do what he needs to do - -look for your dam shot

To much pressure on och

@Crimsonorblue22 he's feeling it too

@RockChalkinTexas said in Revenge Game Thread:

@approxinfinity we can't go stagnant

finally stretched it a little. - -had opportunities and just something wrong like 3 straight times- - make TCU feel the pressure on their shots - - -late game and down , where they KNOW they gotta score

I think they both end up being around 15+ minute guys but I do think Zach starts. I'm not sure we will have a big that stands out much more than the others for overall play so keeping them fresh would make sense. Not sure what Self will do of course.

I am so pissed that I am going to cancel ESPN+ after this game....LOL

Much better energy, great job making a comeback. Harris was huge...

Not really sure how we pulled this out. No one played very well. Ochai had his 22, but was 2 for last 10. Just 1 RB and 1 assist. Dave was Dave. Jalen and CB just okay. Who'd a thunk it that we needed Juan down the stretch to bail us out...

Horns down🙌

JalenW gets a shout out for getting tough in the 2nd half

I turned off those crappy ESPN plus announcers before the 1st half was even over, they were so far up TCU'S Behinds

Baylor has an ISU team that only made 36 points in their last game🤦‍♀️

Love Gueldner, ragging on Higgins.

Juan Harris 11 points - -6 rebounds - -3 assists and a HUGE BLOCK - - player of the game- -oh ya AND 2 STEALS

@RockChalkinTexas it's there, gotta look

@RockChalkinTexas Jayhawk Gameday Live is on ESPN+ after every game. Gueldner's analysis is always great

Sorry but I'm glad Remy didn't play in the 2nd half

Wasn't the 25 point blowout that I wanted for my birthday present but I'll take this one

Where's @BeddieKU23 ?

@jayballer67 Juan has the ability to score 10 points a game. He looked much more confident out there today. Best game of the year for him.

Think this game actually turned for us when Juan & Yesufu hit back to back 3's

@rockchalkwyo Thanks, Hope to have afew more

Actually - - really would perfer NOT to play TCU again in the NCAA'S

@rockchalkwyo I think there are 5 who are going to

@jayballer67 Agree, they have really come on strong late in the season

TCU ONE offensive rebound the 2nd half

Braun 4-4 and 2-2 from 3 point land. Shoot more, please!

@tis4tim said in Revenge Game Thread:

Braun 4-4 and 2-2 from 3 point land. Shoot more, please!

Exactly, did the same thing last year , he got to a point where he wasn't even looking at the basket - - started to do that again this year. - - GOT TO SHOOT THE DAM THING

Coach saying KU wasn't going to foul on a 3 pt attempt -said they talked during the time out and left it up to the players and they said they wanted to play it out

@jayballer67 Thankfully it worked out. We had a couple of games where we wern't so fortunate.

Self has always preferred to play defense instead of fouling. I believe the analytics actually support that decision by a small margin if I remember a breakdown of that situation from a few years back.

Time left on clock. To much to foul.

@Texas-Hawk-10 why did they go for 2? Think the could foul and get it back?

Holy smokes that was way too close for comfort.
It was following the exact same pattern as the last game early in the 2nd half.
So glad we sucked it up on D late in the game (no comment on KJ’s near fatal foul).

TCU must be a matchup problem for us!

I’m just gonna say it: the sooner that 6-10 POS Dave McCormack leaves campus, the better.

Sorry. Rock Chalk!

@rockchalkjayhawk Dave is a good kid. Smart. Good attitude. POS is pretty harsh.

Hes also been injured snd is giving us everything he can.

I welcome change next year but think we are going to struggle.

Good to see Yes picked over Remy last night.

3 minutes and another -6 with Remy on the floor.

Dave killed us defensively last night too, but I’m not sure what you can do about it. It is him or Mitch. He constantly abandoned his man when he didn’t need to help and it either led to a layup or an offensive rebound.

Och is going through some regression to the mean clearly.

Need more from CB.

Some things will have to get better for this team to win a game the 2nd weekend. Hopefully rest is the main thing they need. Plenty of that coming after Saturdays game.

Dave's balance is way off with that sore foot, and it's affecting his offense as well as defense. He over hedges and can't get back to his man, which is leaving the paint wide open for easy scores. On offense, he's missing an incredible amount of shots from 2 feet. These are shots he normally makes, so the foot is throwing him off there as well. If he hits the bunnies, we win by 10+. I'm really thinking we should rest Dave during the B12 tournament, and let Zach and Mitch take the minutes.

@Jethro I don't buy the foot excuse for the bunnies. He just has the yips. He's making his free throws.

Defensively I would buy it, other than what I am referring to is mostly terrible decisions to help. He is overhelping. Nothing to do with recovery, the primary defender does a great job forcing their man into a tough spot and Dave bails them out by trying to get a blocked shot. Mitch does this a lot too, but Dave did it probably 5 times last night.

@drgnslayr - wasn't it your wife who used to call the KU Basketball players (a few years ago) pu$$ie$? If so, she was right and she always will be right.

@approxinfinity ok, so I was a bit on edge after watching that tight game last night! :)
Maybe POS is harsh, but hurt foot or not, it’s extremely frustrating to watch a guy his size miss more layups than he makes (can I get an amen @Kcmatt7 !!) . No complaints about him as a human or about his effort. But It’s obvious he hasn’t matured much (calmed) near the rim since Day 1. Change will be a good thing.

Anyway, glad we won.

Ha.... yes.... FORMER wife! lol

@approxinfinity could never call a Jayhawk player a pos. Maybe ...

@Kcmatt7 agree, but I think Och has pressure to put the team on his shoulders, that's why CB can and should step up! Och is trying to do to much, not letting the game come to him.

I think Dave's foot is impacting his increase in missed bunnies. But I don't like giving anyone an excuse.

I can be critical on many of Och's bunny misses, too.

I think we all need to just enforce TOUGHNESS with our guys from here on out!

I think we all agree we are very tough mentally. No one can ever count us out because we don't panic like so many of our teams used to.

But this is a team that doesn't like physical contact. NONE of our guys like physical contact! CB and Joe are my picks for being our guys most likely okay with contact. Then... JWil.

Oh man... JWil! My "junkyard dog" for this team. Brother... when you turn the corner on your defender and drive the lane... FINISH! Stop passing the ball out on the trey line. Take the ball INTO contact and draw the foul! Use the backboard to shoot around defender's reach. Practice more tough finishes in practice so you know how to do it. You are giving up on an extra 10 points a game!

Och... don't be phased when a shot gets blocked. Keep taking it to the defense. Get your body involved. Use that speed and agility to sometimes create scoring space (from body to body), and other times take it into bodies to draw fouls! You can still use your body between the ball and defender to get shots off.

CB... drive more to the rim! You will get some blocked but you will draw more fouls and score more point on finishes, too.

Dajuan... look for your shot more. Try more pullups in the lane! Finish more at the rim with your quickness!

Guys... get after it! Don't shy down from physical teams! Use your brain and take advantage of BASKETBALL IQ!

@Crimsonorblue22 I definitely agree with this to an extent. I like that he is taking it upon himself at times. I am tired of watching CB pass up 3s he should take.

The offense has really been like 3 guys passing the ball around until it gets to Och or Dave and then there is a shot. Formula when we were playing well was everyone was getting shots off.

you know Juan catchs alot of crap and I sure am glad he played last night over Remy - just am. In reality for this game without question we would of went down again - especially late. - Guy had a hell of a stat line for someone just sniffing 6 ft and is like a string bean close gets bullied backed down a lot. - Yet last night he gives us 11 pts - - 6 rebounds - - 3 assists - -1 turnover - - 2 steals - -and ONE HUGE BLOCK - - THAT from a 6 ft point is a pretty solid line I don't care who you are - -Hit that HUGE 3 late if he doesn't do that then were bacon again to those guys - -APPRECIATE YOU JUAN.

@Kcmatt7 did you see post game? CB said he needs to get aggressive earlier! Think we've heard that before. Those first way out shots by Och seem to turn into fast break pts for other team. Just a tad to far out, jmo

Dave had a hurt foot for awhile, but a few games ago it was reported his knee is tweaked, too. It has clearly affected his jumping in all three phases--opening tip, FGs, and rebs.

The FT percentage is a tribute to his hard work and concentration. Without him picking up fouls, we lose. Instead, we have people using what he does right to justify calling him a POS.

What a fuckfest of unappreciative fans.

^^^^^this

Out guys ARE athletic but they aren’t fully utilizing their athleticism. I do think they may have shoes away from it during this last stretch of the big12 because they don’t trust they’ll be protected or even rewarded for putting it all out there physically. To be clear I believe every player is giving it his all to win for the team. But, there’s some mental conditioning that happens when you have actual pain inflicted on you every time you try to do something.

I’ve honestly only caught small bits of the last two games but starting with Texas teams have begun making every movement KU makes on offense result in pain. Make a cut? Here’s a body check. Drive the lane? Meet the floor. Take a dribble? Make a pass? Rake the arms. Go up for a rebound? How’s your insurance? Our guys are grabbing their face, the side of their head and everything else you can think of every couple of minutes because someone has landed a blow. Some of them get called but at this point many don’t. I know folks were complaining about how many fouls were called in a few games but it honestly wasn’t nearly enough. I like others am not even saying the game isn’t being called equally. But unfortunately for us, our more skilled and talented team can be dragged down to a lower level by simply beating them into submission. More power to this team for not actually submitting because it has been a brutal end to this regular season.

Here’s hoping the NCAA tournament is called a little differently than the big 12 has been this year.

@mayjay Hey, i'm the only one calling Dave a POS, and it had nothing to do with what he was doing right! :)

Got nothing to do with his FT shooting. I think he's a great shooter from the line. In fact, as i was watching last night, i wondered to myself who i would want on the FT line with the game on the line. Dave was close to the top.

I'm just steamed as i have been for four years now that he can't make a bunny! nothing's changed.

So, as i stated earlier, POS was harsh, but doesn't mean as a fan that i can't be upset with a player for being nearly 7 foot and constantly missing layups. i'm for sure not gonna smile when he does that.

So, apologies for upsetting the board with my language. i know this is a kinder, gentler board.

@rockchalkjayhawk

I get you being upset. I go nuts, too, when we miss all those bunnies... especially from wide-body Dave!

I feel for Dave. He's an athlete who is trapped with a mind that can't stop thinking. We've only seen brief moments of Dave cut loose from his inner self.

Self has discussed this before about Dave. He's one of the coolest dudes we've ever had in Lawrence! We've never had a Jayhawk care more about his team than Dave... even our Jayhawks who were born in Kansas.

He just can't hang up the mind and go out there and let his body carry the load. That shows up, big time, when he gets close to the basket and throws up a brick. He tightens up and his mind is working overtime saying... "don't blow this!"

It really is tragic. He'll never be happy with his contribution to this team either. Because he cares SO MUCH!

@drgnslayr Whoops.

@drgnslayr its really hard to tell what Dave could be if he was injury free. I think without the injuries he might be a decent pro. Very hard to perform consistently with injuries. Im not ready to judge his future yet. Only his injured present.
