We good.

@BShark we good!

We Good

Let's keep dancing!!!

73 to 65. Jayhawks advance to E8!!

I think I am ready for this. New bottle of booze, doubled up on blood pressure meds, got a hand full of valium and put ear muffs on my little dog( he hates profanity).

@jessejayhawk

Poor boy. He's tough and sensitive.

OK let's compare: David McCormack gets the ball in the paint. Immediately, 2 guys, no 3, then 6 guys hack and attack him. Ref calls traveling. Drew Timme gets the ball in the paint against Arkansas. One short dude exhales while Timme is driving and missing his shot. Foul, two FTs for Timme, the greatest college player to ever lace em up. Please tell me Timme is going pro.

We may have caught a break in the bracket but it doesn't matter unless we take care of the good Friars.

@stoptheflop Timme WHO?

@jessejayhawk

Loser Timme or Lassie's young master!

@stoptheflop Timme is gone with Gone zaga.

Im skeered. Will reserve passing judgement on gonzaga until after we win this game.

It took three weeks to figure out the upload process for El Kabong. Determination over stupidity.

What we DON'T NEED AGAINST Providence -don't let them be close late. think It said they are 13 wins out of 15 games when it is 5 points or less - -we don't want it close step on them from the gete go

Anonymous Providence player on David
McCormack:

"He walked in our locker room &
walked right by me. And I'm like,
what the hell is he coming to our
locker room for? And he walked
by me and he tapped Nate Watson on
the leg, and said, 'Lace 'em up,
it's gonna be a long f--king
night.’

@BShark I've heard this

Let's go #Jayhawks 🙋‍♀️❤💙

Damn. My palms are getting sweaty!

Kevin Harlon!!!!

@Crimsonorblue22 You may need them if you are any where close

Alexa just said Rock Chalk!

let's do this real quick. i normally am anxious, but i'm strangely calm tonight. we will win.

Finally got this dive bar in Silverton Oregon to put the game on… I’m stoked! We’re so gonna win this

Ochai makin himself known early!

REMERGY

Nice Harris!

They didn't count Och's?

I must be way behind or way ahead or something.

@RockChalkinTexas said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

They didn't count Och's?

He stepped out of bounds.

Bullshit

Terrible.

Isu hollering for pro.

Nice feed and CB dunk!

Jeez

Wtf dave

Needed that stoppage. Everyone needs a blow.

Dave! 🙄

@Crimsonorblue22 BOOOO

settle down, and beat them.

Dave is having a terrible game. Should have at least 6 points….

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Dave! 🙄

Couldn't have played any worse there

Sloppy start- -sloppy , sloppy start thank GOD they aren't hitting shots either

we're much better than them.

Hop this isn't another 11 out of 39 in the paint.

Refs definitely letting them play. Seems to be an advantage for us so far.

Good defense from us though. We know their stuff

off and running. Lots of contact being allowed in this game.

Horrible refs....agin. Dave's getting creamed inside. Providence dude falls in the lane and sits there for 6-7 seconds. The offensive foul call on Christian was offensive

@RockChalkinTexas About ISU

Wilson was fouled.. no call

@wissox

Par for the tournament. You don't even need to be set or do anything

@wissox we’ve been just as physical in the paint on d. Contesting everything and nothing getting called.

The charge was terrible.

Give Dave a long blow

@benshawks08 You can't expect me to be objective can you?

@Oldmanhawk we haven’t seen good Dave yet that’s for sure.

0-5 from our front court. Needs to end

@wissox not at all!

need to have confidence!

Good lord sideline reporters

The charge call on CB sent my dog in to hiding under the bed

Remy time!

D looks good so far

Good JWill

@jessejayhawk It sent my wife into hiding....from me!

the hammering contact on Jalen and Deve is crazy

what does it take to get a shooting foul? Amputation?

Did we just get a shooting foul there??

Jalen grtting out on break

@wissox Does she bite? My dog does.

Stop it refs

@jessejayhawk That's a private question not suitable for this forum

Nice d

Cognac!

REMY

D is locked in.

!remy.jpg ↗

@wissox Understood

Every game all year in conf has been physical. Bring it on.

Go go

Och!!!

Mitch

Mitch!!

MITCH

Eraser!

Boom!!

Lt👟

Good stuff. The boys are here to play. Let's take it to them!! Good defense so far

BRush is on a ku Instagram account tonight

i'm telling you- we haven't seen this team's best game yet....

Ochai has 3 blocks already according to ESPN box and the team has 4

Awesome 4 minutes there

Does Anybody else see the HUGE S on the front of Remy's uniform - - jumpin gee hossie Toads that boy is hot

@RockChalkinTexas he was on pregame

With dr reed

Knee looks good

Can't believe this game is 17 miles away and here I am in my living room.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

@RockChalkinTexas he was on pregame

I don't do instragram

@wissox thought u had conference

@RockChalkinTexas still need espn+

we knew in 2008 that we had a freaking monster team- we knew the whole year. this team has just started to gel. we might have the best team in the tournament, and it won't make 2 shits who we play...we'll beat them.

@Crimsonorblue22 OH, it was a miracle. The union forced a change and so it was last night and this morning!!

Does Mitch play vollyball? That was a big league kill shot.

@jessejayhawk He probably should have tried to catch it.

@wissox I know but I still liked it

Why didn't Mitch go the other way?

@wissox said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Can't believe this game is 17 miles away and here I am in my living room.

And we're here with you to ease the pain with an amazing KU victory tonight. This is just a delight to watch. RCJHGKU!

JWil with 6 boards so far, and almost had another

Foul

Get it to JCL!

Have been watching but not able to join the thread. Looks like everyone has come to play - except Dave? Looked like he was killing us in the first 5 minutes???

ticky tack foul on remy

We are scrappy 🙌

Another example of CB not driving into the chest and drawing a foul....

We need a little organized offense

Remy is impatient.. just wants to score

Remy came to play dang

Remy!

Hmmm or not

@bskeet said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Remy is impatient.. just wants to score

Well, he has been pretty good at that so far - 9 of our 15 points...

Well this may rhe fastest any team is playing in the tournament

very strong defense both ways

We are a tale of two paces

Awful offense

we need to get other guys involved

Should be up 15..

Providence has taken some really ugly shots. They only have 8 points in 12 minutes.

We are putting up enough bricks we could build a sky scraper- - -Thank GOD for Remy

@approxinfinity Tech blew it out and came out empty in the end

I'm sure there will be adjustments at halftime to get some better shots.

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Should be up 15..

For sure we need to take advantage

Providence is just not an efficient offense. If we make a decent number of shots, don't turn it over (they don't actually force that much) and bang hard on the boards, we should win this game and handily....

Letting them hang around.

Wonder if we can switch between plodding and frenetic all game like psychos

Not a single point from any big. Not getting in the lane at all

1 out of seven from inside.

Bigs are getting hammered

JCL
JCL

needs to get going

Of course we had 2 points and a possible FT taken away by incompetence when Braun got called for the charge.

Calls have not been super friendly

OMG

@wissox said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Of course we had 2 points and a possible FT taken away by incompetence when Braun got called for the charge.

I think there is too much bemoaning the refs being against us, but that was a bad call...

Dang

dang great defense not rewarded

that dude double dribbled.

Dave has to get that rebound

Over the back

This is nuts. Lolol hug for bill

😂

This D is beautiful

Running on three cylinders

On offense

👏👏👏👏👏

They are 4-26 - we should be up a LOT more....

Only 4 fouls called in this game

Took 4 tries but it finally went in

Padding his stats

@benshawks08 yea refs letting them play today

@bskeet Mozart like, or um Rembrandt like, painting whichever was a painter

We completely dictated the terms of this game. Fricking amazing.

My God can we make anything?

2 for 11 inside lol. crying

Defense has been unreal at least

Dam Wilson has 8 rebounds already they said - - KU has 7 blocks

@StLJhawk Really f--ks up your shooting %

@benshawks08 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Only 4 fouls called in this game

Hard to believe they are letting them play instead of stop go stop go

Remy 5-8 - everyone else 4-19....

Provo worse

I think they're afraid to shoot 3's now

Dave, Jalen, CB, and Ochai 3-16. Make some friggin' shots and open up a 20 point half time lead!!!

Need a run to close the half out💪

How many times have we asked for someone to step up. Can't be all Remy.

Good to see the gys banging the boards

Very grateful for Remy.

2 straight way too quick 3s.....

I hate refs

These quick 3s with no boarders

@DCHawker said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

2 straight way too quick 3s.....

I like it. Play to win.

Really rough shooting game so far for both teams though.

Fuck you ref

That's a charge all damn day. Why don't we get the same call?

Dammit Oach - -27 % since the K/State game. - -better look out Providence score two at the line they start to stir

They'll probably start falling.

@approxinfinity said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

These quick 3s with no boarders

He has to stop that shit

Och has some rust. He's getting it out of his system now. Just wait

I double dog dare you #otz

Ochai needs to man up and start taking it to the basket. Settling for 3s - he's 0-4; 1-5 overall. We don't have friggin' FT attempt this half...

Ochai and CB who have best 3pt avgs just aren't hitting. But I think the key is to keep looking for the shot. Shooters need to shoot to get into a groove.

@jayballer67 Och forgot how to shoot or something. Id like to see some life from CB

Would be nice again for the 2nd straight game if och cb or Dave did anything on offense

Just keep firing. They’ll go

How can Providence play this long and only pick up 2 fouls?

Refs don't have to be perfect.. they just need to not suck completely.

@wissox no post production

@wissox

Refs have blown 3 already

Shooting foul OK

10 pt lead with 3 mins left in the half, I’ll take it

Love J Will’s aggression so far

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Shooting foul OK

What just happened there?!

@approxinfinity Watch Dave and Watson and tell me that Watson isn't fouling Dave!

WTF?

Bad Dave is still here

All too familiar end of first half meltdown...

Sure refs. Fuck you

Give up a 3 and it's a meltdown?

@wissox said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Give up a 3 and it's a meltdown?

Along with 2 bad TOs...

Watsons a big boy

Remy. Martin.

Remy speaking in tongues

Sadly, Dave is just awful so far....

Remy that was wicked… a 3 that didn’t count and then 20 seconds later one that did

Remy gonna be seered in their minds at halftime. Bench him second half :)

Gaaaahhhh dang it J

WHY SWITCH

no idea

Just stupid basketball stupid

All the momentum gone

Just regroup at half time. Still a good lead.

if we pick up a basket in the last 5.2, the foul is not that bad.

I just don't understand our end of half. I don't

Lead remains. Happy with the half if we dont fall From this fragile grace.

Man you’d think we’re down 10 reading this thread

All Remy and Jwill

four fouls all half. Just negligent.

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

I just don't understand our end of half. I don't

Recommend that we are up by a similar amount near the end of the game to prevent a meltdown.

This team hasn't made a halftime shot all yr

9 points is not much against a team that can shoot the three

I hope we don't regret this 26 points,

Well the D was good.

Can't complain about the D at all.

The 2nd half will be completely different going to have to make shots.

Our 2 leading scorers have 4 pts - 0-7 from 3. We have to get them to show up in the second half. But, otherwise this is a classic HCBS leading ugly game...

Remy's 13 Pts and Wilson's 10 rbs are the only good things about this half. Remy has also outrebounded Dave 4-1. Jeez what a half

Soooo who feels comfortable here at half time ?

@Zabudda KU did leave a lot of points off the board

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

The 2nd half will be completely different going to have to make shots.

ya cause you know sooner or later they gonna start making some of those 3's - -we have JUST GOT TO get Oach going

Nine points up at the half is how i'm going to look at this or pull my hair out.

@stoptheflop holding friars to a miserable 17 point half was great

I don't know, if we walk off at the half winning 46-37 or some other more 'normal' nine point lead I think we'd be satisfied, but when it's low scoring people just think we're playing like crap.

Or put it this way. At the beginning of the game if you knew we'd have a 9 point lead at the half would you be like, oh, that's not bad? Dang as bad as Providence is shooting a 9 point lead feels like a 17 or 18 point lead.

/continue to shut down their 3 shooters and we will be ok

Dictating tempo has to be the most devastating and understated defensive weopon.

Refs have called more fouls on St. Peters in the first 4 minutes of the 2nd half than they did on Providence in the entire half.

Who is lex luther

If this half was a blind date I would say but she/he has a great personality.

Remys release is so quick, there’s no arc towards the basket, more like a bullet, one second it’s in his hand and the next its already thru the net.

Shannon the guy from tech entered the portal, I think he'd be a nice add

@wissox said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Shannon the guy from tech entered the portal, I think he'd be a nice add

Kentucky and Duke have already contacted him. Going to be a circus I imagine.

Tbh I was happy about how we played. A couple more good looks fall and we’re up 18. 9 is a good lead.

@approxinfinity said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Agree with that. Scoring 26, not so great....

I used to play church ball in a gym with a track above the gym. In the corners the track made a ceiling over the court and you had to shoot that way from the corners!

We have 28 RBs at half. Big Dave has 1 of those....

@DCHawker He's such an overachiever!

9 points gives a false sense of security. This is a close game. Second half needs to be just as tenacious as the first half.

The good news is that Dave isn't in foul trouble and his offense can only improve. As long as we lock them down from outside, we have a good shot!

I'm glad we're not playing like Purdue is against a 15 seed

Our gameplan was to speed them up from the gun. You could see wilson doing it too. Remy was jusr best at it

Peacocks!

Tait saying the OOB call on Ochai early on was bad. Did anyone else think that? I wasn't sure enough to complain but the twitterworld is.

We need to come out with a quick hit to open the 2nd half let them no - - no chance , I think Oach's confidence pretty shaken in his shot right now

@wissox said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Tait saying the OOB call on Ochai early on was bad. Did anyone else think that? I wasn't sure enough to complain but the twitterworld is.

Looked clear to me he stepped out and was the first one to touch it once he got back in ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So, he needs to drive and get some freebies at the line...

@wissox Was the worst charge call I have seen all year long

Will we break 60?

A championship team cannot have four of their starters with only 6 points.
Good defense!!!

@RockChalkinTexas No problem if some of our wide open threes start to fall

Providence isn't going to shoot this badly in the 2d half. We are going to need to make shots, as well...

that call against Dave was BS

OVER THE FRICKIN BACK

way to be assertive CB!

About effing time with a FTA....

Atta kid CB

Juan👏

Way to go 44

Decent start here

Bout time!

Dumb foul watson. Keep them frustrated

CAN ANYONE MAKE A SHOT

Juan!

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

CAN ANYONE MAKE A SHOT

Juan

Let 'em hang

Wrong

Our 2 little guards have 8 of our 13 buckets...

The guy punches braun in the nose

Not a foul

bingo!

Make that 9 of 14...

Little people win games

Juans, twice

Dajaun telling self leave Remy on the bench!

Strong move by JW

Like the aggressiveness this half...

Watson another foul

Ochai looks afraid of the ball. Good thing we got plenty of guys who want it

Biggest lead of the game

3 fouls on Watson - keep taking it to the rack...

All gas no brakes

Coach sit down!

I miss the KU drummer!

I liked that pregame segment showing Cooley in his car singing One Shining Moment

Ochai just standing around on offense doing nothing

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Coach sit down!

He was open!

@wissox painful!

Keep pushing the lead

Told you no remy. Burn that halftime speech from providence coach, they aint gonna need it!

Did JWill get hammered on that drive?

Big plays by Wilson and harris there

Of course. Refs suck

Poor Dave!

@jessejayhawk said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

But, he was falling away. Much less likely to get the call than if he drives into the guys chest....

Never understood the strategy of sticking the best player in the corner on offense for 15 seconds each possession

Ochai looks afraid of the ball. Good thing we got plenty of guys who want it

In contrast to Ochai's...

@RockChalkinTexas Mitch has looked pretty spry for an old dude with a trick knee.

@benshawks08 knee replacements getting better all the time

Forget Dave Mac. Just play both Harris and Remy. Wilson is our best rebounder anyway; no need for DMac.

Any report of a dave further injury this week?

great find by remy!

crap crap crap

Crap

Could've/should've been up 15 there...

Unbelievable remy

What did Mitch do that was worthy of a foul call?

Remy....un Self like

Oh yes pls press

4 pt swing on a shit pass

Everyone standing around watching Remy.

GO COCKS

holy crap?? what is that call??

More turnovers

Hmmm mystery call

Martin fouled him by getting shoved.

No way ref

Ref gtfo

FUCK YOU REF

Corrupt zebras, the chicago way

Wasn’t aware you could take a charge while doing the shuffle

Our offense is just putrid right now. To think we are hanging on our defense...

Just awful

Backdoor agbaji 2 pts

Turn overs!

OK, I'm driving down the UC right now and waiting by the refs parking lot.

Come on ochai, you gotta get involved

28 minutes into the game and we have 2 buckets from our 2 leading scorers...

We need to get a bucket and a stop

Thank goodness we have Remy.

So im assuming Dave is hurt and we knew this before the game and we went all in on dictating tempo

Well Dam - now you have given them hope. You have got 3/4 of the arena cheering for them AND your playing just like warm dog poop. this shouldn't even be within 15 and here we re at 7.

The refs are getting caught up in it making rap calls, now watch they gonna come down and start draining 3's now your in a mess

@approxinfinity I did see him come down wonky on it early on

@approxinfinity

His head not in the game

We have 4 assists and 9 TOs. Not a good ratio....

Creepy ass friar mascot

Ochai got bailed out there....

Way to get downhill Och

Straight to agbaji. Yes please. Its your time och.

Dave's in

Och getting hugged off ball.

F#CK

Dave sucks

Officials are completely manipulating the game.

Get fricken Mccormack out of this dam game - - maybe he can hand out the water without screwing that up

Dave is really really bad today. Its true

welp

Quite the stat line for Dave tonite. No points. 1 RB. 3 TOs. 3 fouls...

Typical. Can't put a shitty team away and now they are playing scared

C'mon offense. Ochai

We still good?

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Dave sucks

0-2 shoot 3 turnovers 1 block and stupid fouls

There is no good reason this should be a close game.

We are clearly playing not to lose, rather than to win...

Hold onto your butts here it comes

They are exposing us at the rim.

Can’t really blame the refs

I think our run is coming. Gonna get a few shots to fall and a run out for a dunk.

If i were the sideline reporter i might ask bill wshy dave was in a game when we were up 25 with 5 minutes left when he should have been resting. Thats why im not a sideline reporter.

Typical HCBS is these games. Really short bench.

Bill has only gone 3 deep into the bench tonight. Lands had no impact and doesn't even appear in the box score

just realized that its the hurricanes and cyclones in the windy city... Am I the last one to get that?

Providence shooting 24% and up 6 yeah the issue is all offense

@bskeet noice

@bskeet And we're in a wind advisory right now

Great D

Just awful bill

Can't make a bunny

Dave has the worst effing footwork of any big man in the history of basketball...

Can't make a fucking layup

@DCHawker said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Good FT's Dave. We needed those.

@DCHawker but thst sweet sweet ft

Clutch

Dave fouled 4 times there.

BD!

C'mon guys

Playing to lose

No offense as usual

Let's get into the double bonus and make some FTs...

Pick up the pace

Cognac

Time for the Jayhawks to play like this game is fun.

We are still not making ANY shots...

Put JCL in and get him ball

What's the point of playing agbaji

Can't wait for baseball season, it's far less stressful

Everyone other than Juan and Remy are 7-30...........

Next 4 minutes going to be telling

Just getting here. Had kid’s soccer practice. Looks like we started ok but typical everyone is cold simultaneously thing now, eh?

Playing scared like all out tourney losses have come down to. Only Remy will take a chance and shoot.

Changed shirts. We’re good now.

They've made a nice comeback but two horrible offensive foul calls against our team stand out. Those calls always used to be only if the guy is set, but now a guy can be running all over in front of our guy and draw a charge. I mean these calls have been egregiously bad and they change the game.

Because of TOs and not getting the job done on the boards this half, they now have 9 more shot attempts...

We need one of these

!ohmy.jpg ↗

Hope they were saving it for the last 8. Bill better remind them they go home with a loss.

Their run is ending ours is just getting ready to start.

Another manufactured close game. Way to go NCAA.

Wow Peacocks

Ok. Scratch game. Who wants it more?

I want it pretty bad.

Wilson

3 seconds on Watson. But I guess they don't know to call that

Providence too cocky.

Imagine getting a stop

4 on watson right

50% ft is not going to do it

Hammered so many times on that play.

Oof.

Flop lol

It's over sigh

Uh, yeah.

35 minutes into the game and 2 buckets from our top 2 scorers....

Now or never fellas. Make the run!

JCL

J WILL BOSS

13/19 from the line.

The lone remaingers

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Wellp most wins ever. Sweet!

Okay - we advance. But gave up 17 points in the first half and 44 in the second....

Miss the second on purpose

Elite Eight, here we come!

Surely we will shoot well at some point right?

ALL TIME WINS

3 wins without playing very well is any of them.......

Woo hoo! And we just played our sucky game to boot Look out world!

All that anguish and they only made up 4 in this half.

I tried to watch it live, but my heart was racing too much, so had to tape it and do something else…

It appears that Remy came thru again.

@Bosthawk And Ochai was a no show again.

Anybody hear how many fans we had? Isu root for us?

plain and simple if we play like this Sunday - -we will ge beat. just got to start shooting the ball better.

Oach has to get his act together, that's bad enough but when you have Oach Christan AND Dave playing like crap -we have to get this guys into the game. - -I say we play Miami

What do you think they'll do next game? I think they'll make it a point to have better games. I think they know that better than we do. I am not going to start doubting them anymore. They've made the Elite Eight- great chance we'll make it to the Final Four. Let's give this team their props.

Just happy we won. 2 days from now we can make the season legendary

I want iowa state bad to beat a familiar punching bag

Do you want iowa state or miami?

Iowa St for sure but Miami looks to have awful defense

@BeddieKU23 but I just saw Miami made 2 treys in the last 4 processions. We don't play well against teams that can score in spurts

@BeddieKU23 on other hand dont want tyrese hunter having a career shooting night against us.

@approxinfinity said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

ISU because the prep work and scouting is much easier and there's already the familiarity which should make it a better scenario for KU to get back to the Final Four.

@Texas-Hawk-10 thats a great point on the prep effort. Dont want to overlook them but 6 games against unfamiliar opps 5 of which are competitive is mentally exhausting

Did all these isu guys play against us? 22?

Was just talking to my buddy who is an Auburn grad. Said Miami just outmuscled his team in their matchup. They play very physical apparently.

That’s the kind of team that usually sends us home. They punch and we stand there and take it.

That said, the Big 12 has us prepared this season. It’s always physical and no game is a gimme.

Proof? That 10-1 run we went on right after Providence battled back for a 1-point lead. No, we didn’t play well tonight as a whole but that right there was impressive.

@tis4tim Jalen Wilson!

We dont win without Jalen. He is the best compliment to Remy we have

The wake up call was huge for JWill. He plays like a kid that didn't always have a ride home in middle school now.

@Crimsonorblue22 this game was payback for that 19-20 vs the blue jays.

U guys remember 22?

@BShark feels like he has a chance to be a pretty nice career pro with his versatility. If he hones the 40% trey gun lookout League.

Guarantee you Juan didn't always have a ride home. Gotta have tough guys. This is why Bill made Remy do things the right way too. Culture of toughness.

I say this as a kid that practically lived in after school and summer care programs for awhile!

Yeah that play toward the end where he was totally mugged going in for the score and still bullied the ball around the defender into the hoop was boss! Can’t believe it wasn’t an and-1.

I’ve been down on him this year in the early going but he’s been tough as nails throughout the last half of the season. His poker face still kills me. Like an assassin he rarely shows emotion when there’s a job that needs doing.

Yeah the Brauns pretty much adopted him for awhile. Dude is nails

Pretty sure this ref crew is worse then what did our game. And that's saying something

@FarmerJayhawk I'll always be his fan. He won't miss his throws either.

@FarmerJayhawk seems pretty appreciative too! I'd like to hear his whole story.

Can we run offense with Dave as bad as he was tonight? What are the chances we run zero offense again for more than half the game on sunday?

@FarmerJayhawk he might not say anything

U think Ochs scoring has gone down since remys has gone up?

@Crimsonorblue22

Hard to score when you just stand there in the corner doing nothing

It's not cause he doesn't want to, you know how hard he worked. Just not like him.

@Crimsonorblue22

But he's literally not doing anything like we saw all yr.. Not seeking the ball. Not doing anything like och. A dunk, a jumper and fouled off a timeout play to get him to the rim. Up to och to change the narrative

There’s no place like Kansas. 🐦 View Tweet?s=21&t=FLQ5dTcYN3QkJS4VrHCOiA

@approxinfinity said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Yeah, weird. running offense seems to be a thing of the past in the tourney. Odd. I’m starting to think Self was intentionally holding back on letting Remy loose, saving him for the tourney. Maybe a new wrinkle that no other teams had on tape?

But a lot of our “real” or structured offense involves Ochai and Braun. I’m too dumb to know how, but other teams have figured out a way to shut them down offensively.

Self has to figure out how to get them involved. We desperately need to free up our best 3 pt shooters. Surely we can figure out how to set a few screens for them!

Hey guys. It’s been forever since I have posted so I had to create a new account as I forgot my password but here I am!

I was at the game last night and can honestly say it was one of the most difficult sporting events I have ever been a part of. When we gave up the 13 point lead and Providence went up 1 the entire crowd went completely nuts and that was predominantly ISU and Miami fans. ISU fans were living and dying with each shot. The Cyclones two rows in front of me couldn’t have been more fired up if they were watching their own team! I’m actually pretty pleased that we will see Miami based on this. We need all the advantages we can get and a home field advantage could go a long way and ISU fans more than doubled Miami alums.

Remy has been clutch in all three tourney games. I can't recall a KU player being so clutch for three games in a row. Maybe Danny. Not comparing them, just saying, when we need offense, the dude has hit big shot after big shot.

@joeloveshawks1 thanks for the inside look!

Another thought.. the assassin role has clearly moved from Ochai to Remy. Could there be another assassin in the team? JW? CB?

I feel like we still haven't seen this team's BEST game. There's always been someone injured or someone with an off-night. If this team hit on all cylinders offensively.. wow.... because the D is there.

So, it's not that Bill purposefully sandbagged Remy but it's playing out kind of brilliantly for us. Teams are still face guarding and defending Ochai really aggressively while having a weaker defender on Remy.

Remy and JWill both have that attitude. The one where they can be 1-10 and they fully believe the next shot is going in. You need guys like that.

When CB was called for a charge early in the first half, I thought he would go into his offensive shell for the rest of the first half. Unfortunately, it continued in the second half. CB only took 6 shots in 36 minutes, and only 2 were 3s. But his 10 rebs was close to JWil's 11, so he helped there. I sure hope CB and Ochai find their offense against Miami. Charlie is going to be all over Remy. As diificult as Friday's game was to watch, KU should be able to find more open shots against Miami.

@joeloveshawks1 All other team fans cheer for the upsets. It really can be tough for the higher seeds if they don't knock out their opponent early.

No I'm not doubting. - -Simply stating and I don't think you would find a single person around that wouldn't think they have to play better. they got to shot the ball better and Christan and Oach have to show

You spell “Texas” funny.

I did not shed a tear for Texas, but if they would have beat Purdue it was more of an oh well for me. I have disdain for Baylor, mostly because of Drew.

Texas is leaving us, no 😢

I feel that the teams we have played ,so far, scouted us as not having a scoring threat at point guard. Remy shows up and the opponents don't know whether to shit or go blind. Who the hell do we concentrate our defense on. Most likely they will still concentrate on Och but if they start to pay a lot of attention to Remy I look to see CB go off on them. Should be interesting to see how Miami reacts. ( I hope poorly) See you all tomarrow afternoon.

KU will need to be extremely disciplined against this Miami team who creates a lot of TOs and shoots trey well
