🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Wow were the 16 games yesterday fun or what? Big KU win and some sweet upsets. 16 more games today. I'm hoping Tex Tech and Texas hold serve. And that Iowa St and TCU pull the upsets. I sure didn't think Creighton looked good for the first 30 minutes of their game.

So, what did we learn yesterday?

• The vaunted B1G lost 1/3 of their teams.
• The Mountain West went 0-4 ( Shocker!). That conference only had 4 teams.
• Tucky was pretty sucky. Delightful and refreshing!
• KU has a pretty damn good team.

Can you say KU has a pretty good team again please - shout it out - -tell em big boy let the World know - - KU has a pretty dam good team. lol. - - Seriously having Remy healthy mains a butt load - -whole different ball game when Remy is healthy - mercy he looked sweet last night - -some of those passes - - -MERCY- Juan playing well, & if we can keep Christan in a more aggressive mode quit turning down shots we gonna be ok.

The door hs been opened and if we stay focused and play smart - -still need to tighten up the ball handling STILL to many TO's - - Wonder how Lexington is today or if they burned it down last night. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Thank you Rex Chapman, for reminding me that, no matter how unable to disguise their bitterness, the K-State talking heads are reporting on a K-State loss, a Kentucky commentator is far, far less able to be professional.

I agree with everything you said except for Texas. They can suck it.

It was kind of entertaining in a schadenfreude kind of way

What makes that soundbite great is how proud of himself and how sneaky smart he thinks he is with his Iowa pick.

From RockChalkTalk:
One of my favorite stats: When Bill Self took over, Kansas was 43 games behind Kentucky on the all-time wins list. And Kentucky has done a LOT of winning in the last 19 years. Bill Self has still closed that gap from 43 to 1, with the chance to even it tomorrow. twitter.com/mctait/status/…

I'm picking Yale to beat Purdew.

@bskeet ahahahaha, loved that clip, thanks for sharing!

Charlie Moore having himself a day so far

@BeddieKU23 Chuck bout made that 3/4 shot!

Miami upset alert? Definitely low scoring at 33-25 Miami with 18:00 left.

TTech was on fire.
Baylor, KU, TTech all rolled and shut down the opposition.
Let's see ISU, TCU and Texas follow that.

Ha ha. Texas shooting: 0-first tv timeout.

I torn who to root for. Do I root for UT to win so it makes the B12 better? Or do I say the hell with those conference jumpers? Hmmm...

Got money on Texas so hope they pull it off.

No texass for me! Sec Sec

Looks like first to 40 might win win UT - VT.

ND keeping up with Bama so far. Not a lot of defense in that one.

Still wonder about snacks going to texass?🤔

Charlie Moore having a good day for Miami. 14 pts, 5 assists & 4 steals.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:

I believe he was the #3 assistant here and is the #1 assistant there and should give him a better shot at landing a head coaching job in the near future.

Dam did anyone else see that 3/4 court shot Carr made for Texas at the end of the half ? - - Teas up two. - - Jones ON FIRE for Texas

Pull for the Lague my friend

Silvio de Sousa and Chattanooga on at 5:50pm CDT vs Illinois. Chattanooga is an 8 pt underdog.

Longhorns lookin good right now - -up 12 - -GO HORNS

@jayballer67 I want to root for Texas because I always have in the tournament, but it's OK with me if they lose and slink off the the SEC.

Cunningham from texass dirty as crap!

Announcers don't know he does it a lot

Texas trying mightily to blow a 14 pt lead with a minute to go...

Go Chattanooga..

Big 12 is 4

Big 12 is 4&0 WITH AVERAGE MARGIN OF VICORY at 25.5 points. Cmon ISU make it 5&0

Who does TCU play. Didn't know they were in the tourney. Thot they had been screwed out of a spot

Oh the agony of defeat:

Brad is mailing it in before taking the KSU job

@BShark is kofi bigger than Doke? Do u really think he'd prefer ksu?

Rumblings are afoot! Not a done deal yet but possible. Illinois fans will lose it if it comes to pass but it is a special case, Brad loves KSU like we love KU.

@BShark he could've gone before Bruce right?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:

@BShark he could've gone before Bruce right?

They didn't offer. OMEGALUL.

Would have been his first D1 HC job in all fairness. That was before his stint at SFA.

Ok, my Doke question?

Both are equally massive.

True! Kofi just looks huge

Would've been fun to see them match up

Kofi and holmgren

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:

Would've been fun to see them match up

Would have been nice to see Bill acquire Kofi for this season lol.

@BShark I haven't seen him do anything

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:

@BShark I haven't seen him do anything

He would thrive under Self.

Kofi doesn’t seem to have the needed energy. I assume it takes a while for big guys to gain enough muscle and endurance. He’ll probably go pro this year?

ISU does play good defense - very active, swarming. Matched by a putrid offense.

Lets go chatanooga!

Silvio, jeez

Damn

Rock chalk Silvio. Good season.

Chatttanooga threw up on themselves down the stretch. 2 baskets and 7 points in almost 10 minutes to end the game. Their top scorer was 5-21 from the field. Missed his last 6 attempts.

KU Women looking very good tonight with a 14 point lead with a little over 2 minutes left.

KU women are moving on with a 77-58 win over Georgia Tech. Most likely going to play one of the title favorites in Stanford on Sunday.

@DCHawker Really wish the best for Silvio going forward. He didn't look 6'8" in the paint against the Illini. Tough loss for the Mocs.

Kofi is horrendous at the ft line. See he's around 65% for the season. Didn't look like he was today

@Jethro OK sir, you can stop making fun of the BIG. Illinois just took out the SEC tournament champs Tennessee.

Iowa St. up 5 under 4 min but haven’t hit a shot in awhile. Were up 11 a few minutes ago.

Iowa St. gonna choke this one away. All they do is shoot threes and miss. Down to a one point lead. 2 min left.

@tis4tim said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:

I don’t see any semblance of offense. Just throw up treys. But they just hit a big one as I type this.

Hunter is a special player. Carrying.

ISU survives.

The Clones coach looks like a middle school JV coach. He wears his clothes too tight- he needs to go up about 2 sizes.

The Big 12 is now - - 5-0 in the 1st round - - -TCu is the lone one left to play. Go Frogs let's make this a clean Sweep

I am too actually bud, however pleasantly surprised. - -My thoughts was that Texas and Iowa St would lose their 1st round games. I was wrong ,and glad I was wrong

I actually believe this , I believe our Big 12 teams have benefited from beating one another up this year. So many really tough defensive teams in the league this year the fact is we are use to this year playing against really rugged aggressive defensive teams so in reality we have seen this kind of defense all year long. Don't think we are gonna face any better. -The teams have benefited from playing these tough teams all year and it's showing. - - Just a thought

TCU showing up late in the 1st half - - 22 - - 11 over Seeton Hall

Regarding the ISU win, I noticed Enaruna played only 11 minutes. 2 rebounds, 2 points, 2 assists. Did he get injured?

Seton Hall travels on pretty much every possession.

I feel good that TCU is going to make it 6-0 at this point with a 22 point lead about midway through the 2nd half.

@Gorilla72 he hasn't got much time this season.

Unquestionably, it's a great start. Dominated lower seeded teams and one upset over a higher seeded team. But, it's just the first round. To validate the strength of the conference, we need multiple team to advance to at least next weekend. Would love to see 3 teams in the Elite 8.

KU has a clear path to the Final Four. If Baylor can beat UNC today, then the same for them. I think TTU is the kind of team that can take down Duke. And, although they've already lost to Gonzaga, they held them in pretty good check and were without Shannon, and are playing better now. TCU could give AZ a good game.

Baylor is getting hammered by UNC. Wow.

Need a Day Three thread

@Jethro - looks like Drew reverted this old form. They’ve done so well the last couple of years. Hoping for a better second half!

Pretty thrilled we didn't draw UNC.

Just not clicking for them today. - I was afraid of this. - Without their bi and Cryer it's going to be hard

@jayballer67 I have nought to say!

Except Baylor seems to not have awakened this morning on Day 3...

BAYLOR IS TOAST

ya Dammit - -not a god showing for them. - - Just hope it's not a sign of how the day is going to go

Baylor getting spanked and playing un discplined

That sure isn’t the Baylor team KU played this year. They are playing like it is the first time they have played together.

We opened up as a 10 point favorite today. All the money is pouring in on us, so it was up to 12 an hour ago.https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/story/2022/03/19/creighton-bluejays-vs-kansas-jayhawks-picks-predictions-odds/ ↗

OK so I've mentioned this a couple of times. Now wanting to know Doesn't Brady Mannick look like he is playing A LOT better with North Carolina then he eer did at Oklahoma ?

Flagrant 2 on Manek.

Who would have though Baylor would look this bad? The last 10 minutes will tell and they’re showing some life.

Baylor looks like a team missing 2 very important players.

Ref show favoring Baylor

The Refs better get a grip on this game - could get ugly

@BeddieKU23 said in NCAA Day 2 of The Greatest Tournament in Sports:

Fouling every possession. It’s absurd

Refs are doing everything they can to keep Bayl0r in the game.

GOOD I want Baylor in the game - -represent the Big 12 come on now let's not have an aggorant attitude about anybody but us lol

The intensity of this game is through the roof but only because the refs made it that way. All of a sudden they swallow their whistle for one side and allow constant flopping and non charge calls

Baylors done anyways gonna run out of time

@jayballer67 I don’t know about that N Carolina is helping best they can

Is Kendall REALLY ready to declare for the NBA ?

Geez did N Carolina just fall to pieces - - but still gonna pull it out - - not enough time, they will not allow Baylor to put up a 3 point shot

Came back from 25 down

Tied game under a minute

Great second half to watch!

KU gonna be delayed again

I was afraid of that. I will miss the end then🤯

WOW - - -WOW - - -WOW , just crazy

Great come back by the refs

What is with last second attempts? You call a time out and that’s what you draw up? A 30-footer?

Teams are waiting way too long to start a play at the end of halves. Waiting until 5 seconds isn’t going to get you anything. Plus no time for a drive and foul or a put back on a miss.

Not resetting the team fouls in OT is dumb

Bad call

Baylor guards out of control drives.

He was reaching on the other end

I'd take sochan

@Crimsonorblue22 You can have him. A really dirty player

Refs

This would be over if unc could hit throws

Akingo is B12 first team, my butt.

Drew talking to us!

@Crimsonorblue22 Screw Drew

Over

Comedy of errors

So missed OOB call. 2 seconds away from possible review and second chance score. Ballgame.

Baylor guards had it in their hands.

Ouch! Hates a strong word

UNC underseeded even though they were horrible early in the year. Tough 2nd round game for Baylor.

Let's go!

@tis4tim Never knew why Baylor was seeded#1

After Baylor losing early in big 12 tourney, they should've moved them down, but they didn't asked me.

Well BS that sucks - - Actually I DID pick North Carolina in most of my brackets though lol
