Noticed that they're going to try to have another CBB game on an aircraft carrier tonight. Gonzaga vs. Michigan State for Veterans Day.

I say "try," because the history of these things hasn't been all that great.

Lots of problems with condensation that led to players slipping and sliding all over the court and games eventually being cancelled. We'll see how this one turns out.

(By the way, thanks to all who served. "All gave some...some gave all.")

@nwhawkfan

You're welcome sir.

The Harlem Globetrotters were good on carriers but you are right about real games.

@BShark Wheeler off the bench tonight for UK lol

Anybody else watching this Gonzaga- - Michigan State game ? - They always give Ku crap about players like Lightfoot and or Ellis being around foreve.

Sure seems like Timme has been at Gonzaga forever

You hate to see it. In all seriousness I hope he has grown up since last yr. Lots of Marcus Smart antics. Glad we missed on him

Michigan State over Gonzaga by 7 - -38-31 at the half

North Carolina down by 6 with 3 minutes to go in the 1st half

Charleston 50 - UNC 43 at halftime...Defensive struggle!

Badgers in Miller Park or whatever they call it now against Stanford. Interesting tidbit is that our least favorite ref John Higgins is now a BIG ref and the announcer Steven Bardo said BIG fans are going to love it. I'm like no, KU fans are going to love it.

@jayballer67 lol you ain’t lying that’s for sure Timme needs to move on dude sucks. There’s a reason he hasn’t went to the league yet and living out his bmoc days as long as he can flexing his pipe cleaners after every and 1

Zags overrated - Duke would blow the doors of them just like UT did

Duke way up - Mitchell started after coming off the bench yesterday.

Wish we’d landed him he’d been a stud for us

K-State up 20 at Cal early in the 2nd half. Surprising. Cal coach going nuts, has one T already and is on the verge of getting tossed.

BTW, the Cal coach, Mark Fox, is a Garden City native who has a grad degree from KU. He was an assistant at KSU in the '90s under Tom Asbury.

Here's a shocker- Tad Boyle's Buffs beat down 11th ranked Tennessee 78-66 on the Vols home floor. Funny part is Colorado lost to unranked Grambling St on Friday.

@Jethro was going to post that this morning. Anyone watch it? How did the buffs dog walk TN in their own gym?

@Jethro

Even funnier, Kenpom still thinks Tennessee is better then KU.

@BeddieKU23 They still have Ten ranked 3rd in adjusted defense, even though they got rocked for 88 points at home.

Early season numbers from analytics mean less then nothing until enough data is there to flush out last year with the current one. I just found that amusing as you posted about how much parity there is in College Hoops when a ranked team can go down by double digits to an unranked team that had just previously lost to the #298th team in the country. College Hoops be wild'

Did not Toppin throw that elbow on the rebound - - - Vitale noticed it , sure looked like a pretty hard elbow

MSU with no plan there. Ugh.

Horrible possession. Got a great switch and Walker took a contested jumper

crap

Tschwbwhe seems unhappy.

Calipari teams 🤝 missing key free throws late

@BShark said in Other games:

@jayballer67 Gotta give him at least 3 years I think. If they are really bad again next year though...

probably true. I'm not to sure they to patient though and the losses they have had - -are really bad losses considering who they lost to. However look at North Carolina - -they are not actually off to a roaring start either all things considered

Tar Heels are not selling out the Dean Dome. Interesting. Really kind of dumb stadium design I think. Build it for 16,300, pack em in and create sold out atmosphere every game.

I just checked and Kentucky doesn't sell out their huge arena either. So much for blue blood status.

@wissox the Dean Dome is such a bad place to see a game. The footprint is HUGE, unlike AFH where you’re on top of each other. You can barely even see the player numbers from the top level.

@wissox - but you can buy an Orange Julius there. So there’s that. 🤔

Ut and zags a good one so far

Really wish we got Hunter. He, Juan, Kevin would have been just nasty defensively (not that we aren’t already)

@FarmerJayhawk That's what it looks like on TV. I'm not familiar with too many arenas but one I am is in Madison and while capacity is pretty high, the seats rise straight up from the court essentially and so even back row corners are not terrible.

By contrast the United Center in Chicago has like you said a large footprint and denizens of the back rows feel pretty isolated.

@kuballin10 yeah wish we could’ve made it work to get both Kevin and Hunter

The new UT arena looks nice. Wild they got a good crowd for once

@FarmerJayhawk if we had who would start?
Maybe Gradey wouldn’t?

Also - I think you or @BShark were high on UK when fully healthy but even last night how they just roll it out there and to play along with wheeler are why I’m not convinced.

Duke I think will be better than them

Texas looks nasty. Two nba level guards, mitchell is a 6-8 stud (wish we had him or a player like him at rhe 4 - think Josh Jackson), then just long athletic bigs with experience.

Their guards are gonna be a problem and so far looks like they are getting along

@kuballin10 I forgot Calipari just can't freaking coach. UK has a lot of dudes and I like their roster.

@kuballin10 that’s my thought. Self wouldn’t bench Juan, McCullar, or Jalen. Probably would play more small ball with Jalen at the 5

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other games:

On earth 2 Texas’s current starting backcourt is starting for us. Both Carr and Hunter at various points wanted KU

B12 is the guard conference this season. My goodness

Psssst - - Big 12 - watch out for Texas - -gonna be in the mix. - -This league is just a killer, can you imagine adding Houston Next year on top of this.

Thing is true or false. Tonight shows Texas is Legit OR just one of those nights. - -Coming into tonight - -Texas was shooting 19 % from the three

never know The Big 12 could have three teams in the top ten next week if everything goes like it should

I don’t think Gonzaga is that good. They don’t have near the athletes or skill they’ve had in past years. They’re a bunch of stiffs for the most part. Tyrese Hunter though wow. Getting some FOMO

Texas is 11 right now, so they'll definitely be in the top 10 if they win. Could have 3 teams in the top 5. Houston, Carolina, then Texas, Baylor, and Kansas

I thought this UT team was legit from the get. This is a statement.

Yeah, another good thing about OU and Texas heading to the SEC is that they get to beat up on Kentucky and Tennessee... should equate to a few more losses each year.

@FarmerJayhawk we didn’t want him though we preferred big Dave and Mitch. Honestly wish we’d picked him up to backup Dave as Bishop knows and plays to his role

Worked out just fine though!

@jayballer67 Texas backcourt is nasty
Baylor’s as well with George, Flagler and cryer

Having a good coach at Texas helps

Texas A & M is getting all they can handle from Murray St. The Racers are up 10 with 6 min to go. Murray St is coached by Steve Prohm. Prohm looks very scruffy- like he's on the tail end of a 3 day bender. I'm afraid his time as the Clones coach broke him.

Dang didn't realize Frank Martin had left South Carolina - -think I heard them say he went to U Mass. - -probably a good thing , Colorado just POUNDED South Carolina by THIRTY ONE --I think it was 90-59 - -Colorado State shot 60 % for the game South Carolina 36 % - - Not Good

Arizona St. destroying Michigan. Surprise!

Juwan Howard full-court pressing down 30 with 45 seconds left and he wonders why people don't like Michigan

What's up with Colorado? Blew out 24th ranked Texas A&M by 28 today, and beat Tennessee by 12, but have also lost to Grambling and UMass.

Xavier is giving Indiana everything they can handle with 10 minutes left in the game. Sean Miller is doing a great job getting Xavier back to snuff. Remember, Miller said that Bill Self was the best coach in the game last year before we had won the national championship. Miller also said that Kansas was one of the best teams in the nation last year. So, no more Stubby Miller- now it's Sean.

Gonzaga is massively overrated this season from what I've seen of them so far. This isn't tge dominant team they've had the last 5 or so years. Sweet 16 is probably their ceiling this year. I'd expect Kentucky to win by double digits tonight.

Maybe , I dunno though - -Cal seems to do less with more quite a bit lately - there is a hell of a lynch mob after him

South Carolina and Stanford in OT right now in a 1 vs. 2 game on the women's side. Stanford is going to lose because of a 5 second call, then SC missed both FT's and Stanford got the rebound and called a timeout when they didn't have any resulting in a technical and SC then hit both FT's and ended up winning by 5. This was a great game throughout.

Editing please go away early comment.

How about the early season schedule for Gonzaga? After today against Kentucky they have a first round game against Portland St. Then provided they win and a date with Purdue or West Virginia, and then probably Duke. They'll play Baylor after Turkey days are done, and also see Alabama before Christmas. Of course the rest of their schedule sucks.

Love watching Tucky get SMOKED by the Zags. Love it!

UK has looked decidedly uninterested in playing winning basketball all season

UK looks like an entirely different team this year. Just not good

Timme doesn't look like he's ever seen the weight room.

Michigan looked headed for OT against Ohio. Ohio misses potential GW shot and Michigan grabs rebound and Ohio kid fouls him 80 feet from his own basket. Michigan makes 2 FT's. Michigan fans not too pleased with Juwan Howard. They should be going to OT but the Ohio kid lost his head. 17-8 foul count aids Michigan on their homecourt. Refs aiding ranked home teams against mid major visitors is nothing new of course, but it really shouldn't happen.

Wow, don't know what happened but Ohio tied it somehow. They had 2 seconds left to go length of court which apparently they did.

Boy does he have Calipari doll in his suitcase or what??

Calamari might be the worst in-game coach in history. Their team is a mess- no spacing at all. They looked totally unprepared for the Zags.

Kentucky came into our house and absolutely steamrolled the future national champs. The underestimates of Cals coaching may be slightly exaggerated. That loss was why I was pessimistic almost til the end about our chances to win it all. I really had no confidence that we could get steamrolled by 20 points and be good enough to win a Natty.

@wissox I believe we had our worst game of the year. We were in a battle for 1st in the B12 when we played that game, and our coach said word for word that the game against 'Tucky was less important than the conference games coming up that week. Did Bill saying that before the game impact our effort? I think it did. Of course, some people tell me I'm all wet for saying that. But, we were looking to play Number 20 Iowa State, then Number 8 Baylor, followed by a date at Number 20 Texas as our next 3 games. And the game was preceded by our triple overtime victory over Texas Tech. So, in that sequence, we played Number 13 Texas Tech, then Number 12 'Tucky, then Number 20 Iowa St, then Number 8 Baylor, and then Number 20 Texas in a row. Run that Tucky game at anytime else in the year, and I think we have a chance to win.

I think them winning that game makes it even better that we won the national championship. AND we took away the all-time wins from them. Tucky also beat UNC by 25 last year. And they lose in the first round. I stand by my statement: Calimari is the worst bench coach in America!

@Jethro He doesn't see his role as CBB bench coach. He is an NBA talent acquisition director.

@mayjay said in Other games:

LMAO!

When cal coaches his babies each year he's teaching a whole new group of starters how to play. I truly believe if Cal had guys that stayed in school he'd have multiple rings. OF COURSE he's stated he wants to get guys to the NBA. I'd hate for him to be our coach for that reason.

@Jethro You said "Calimari is the worst bench coach in America!" I said slightly exaggerated. Yours was greatly exaggerated! Remember that coach, the one we affectionately called squeaky? He might have been the worst, but actually, I used to say that about Scott Drew because I didn't really believe in him, until I had to two seasons ago.

I hate having to defend Cal because I really can't stand the guy.

@wissox they, his new babies each year, were going to the NBA with or without his coaching.

Creighton boxed Tech's ears last night - beat them by 11. Tech has a 7 footer transfer ( Fardaws Aimaq) who averaged 19 points and 13 boards for Utah St, but he's been hurt and hasn't played for the Raiders yet. I think he gets back right before conference starts, so Tech could be a load this year.

One other Cal fact. He and the other sleazy coach Rick Pitino are the only ones to coach three different schools to the final four. That's just not the sort of thing that coaches who can't coach do.

BTW when I looked that up, I saw that Ray Meyer coached two different DePaul teams to the Final 4 36 years apart!

Creighton seems determined to win the game for a few plays, then they seem to want to hand the ball to Ark to catch up. Impressive if they could 1) clean up the ball handling, and 2) defend the arc.

@Jethro said in Other games:

Creighton/Arkansas on ESPN. Two very impressive teams.

Arkansas O is awful
It’s Ricky council and Brazille doing pick and rolls that’s literally it

Schiermann hit one from deep and he and Gradey would have been fun

Yes, I’m frustrated Bill took defense over some of the better offensive players. Way easier to teach a scorer how to play defense than take a defensive guy and teach him how to score

The Blue Jays should be ahead by 15.

Great game. Creighton wins by 3.

Zona and Courtney Ramey looked great

He had 21 on 8-12 shooting 5-5 from deep
6 rebounds (yes, you read that right)
1 steal and 1 turnover

I’d take him next to Juan all day - yes Jethro I pitched him hard as well

@kuballin10

Not sure what happened with his recruitment. Think he ultimately went where he was guaranteed the role he wanted.

@BeddieKU23 that stinks he must have wanted to be the pg because playing the 2 with Juan there are plenty of shots for anyone

@kuballin10

Also believe NIL was a factor. Something that's becoming the difference now with these kind of players. We certainly could have used another big with size that could score.

KJ has had 8 in 3 straight. Perhaps he is going to ascend to that average which will at least be respectable.

Boy Creighton & Arizona both look really tough

Really didn't even try for a big. Made a late play for the kid who ended up at UNC. Reality is they though Zach would be able to score and he has just been turrible.

@BShark

I'm really shocked Zach has been MIA so far. We need him healthy though. December is a long month with only 5 games. Time to see who develops

Fun Creighton Arizona game so far. Both legit teams

Your correct buddy - - - -Very Legit teams one or the other I could see making a deep deep run in the tourney even possibly winnning. - -I really like the way Creighton plays looks

Give me Zona they are legit

Creighton is nice but elite 8 max

Zona has final four potential

KState is good, tournament team I think.

@BShark I agree. Johnson is a stud.

I think Tang ends up a better coach than Drew. Drew is good and has improved. Drew comes from a bball family and he’s definitely adapted to todays game along with recurring to it.

Something about sitting under a successful coach and then finally doing it your way when the assistant is smart they can take what they like and improve what they didn’t (Tang and Floyd at AZ).

I mean look at Floyd dude lost essentially his entire starting 5 and yet the reloaded this year and he has those guys all gelled and playing well in November! So much for him being just a bag man at Gonzaga he clearly knows how to coach.

Arkansas and San Diego St. has been a great game so far. Hogs currently up 3 in OT in the 3rd place game in Maui.

“This looks like staring up at the earth from the bottom of Hells Canyon”. Guess who’s announcing Michigan St-Alabama right now?

Tomorrows problem. Leave it there. Who knows? KU might end up with its fourth straight upgrade at coach.

Nobody should look forward to Self retiring.

Gonzaga only scored 28 in this half. Mark Few is stuck in the 1980’s.

@FarmerJayhawk umm KU only scored 25 in both halves. Glad it’s early in the season, there are a few kinks to work out.

@dylans from halftime of Wisconsin on we’ve lost 112 to 86 (second half and OT if Wisconsin and then TN game).

Took our lumps let’s see what Self does with this team offensively

@dylans definitely. And nobody better at ironing them out than Bill Self

Can someone please define the responsibilities of a PG ? - -there seems to be a difference of opinion with some here.
I always thought and or heard that a PG duties was to run the team like a QB - set the offense , distribute to others getting them shots , open looks & some Scoring , making the assists

People saying 9.0 is NOT enough - -need to score more. - If you have your others doing what they should then 9 points a game should be sufficient.

As ew know are we should know this team right now has serious limitations. As been mentioned before -we have got to get somebody else to be able to score the ball. Most of or at least a lot of the problems center around our 5. -we have just got to get something out of them - -we have to get something out of our bench. -other then last night with Joe scoring and that was out of necessity with Juan foul problems we have gotten zelch from the bench.

I would think Zach would be the logical choice. - -Seen a little flash last year, hasn't really shown yet this year , but if he is on he is a big that can stretch the floor, pull opposition away from the basket - -Ernest & Zuby better rebounders - -just no offensive skills at this point at all. - If we could get Zach off the snide other tteams would be more forced to play honestly instead of sagging off others

There's different styles of PG and Self has traditionally preferred PG's who look to score so Harris definitely breaks that mold of what we expect out of a Bill Self PG. Under Self, he's had what I would consider to be 4 PG's that don't fit the mold of a score first PG. Aaron Miles whom he inherited from Roy. Russell Robinson who came to KU with a reputation as a big time scorer, Naadir Tharpe, and now Harris amd none of those 4 were Self's first choice at PG other than Miles because he inherited him. Robinson was known as a scorer in HS and when that didn't translate to KU, Self tried making Chalmers the PG first before handing the keys to Robinson. Thorpe was something like the 7th or 8th option in his class and KU ended up with him because of a bunch of recruiting misses around the time Self was way off on recruiting and had a bunch of misses and desperate signings. Harris was pretty similar to Tharpe in that regard in that he wasn't Self's first choice and done more as a favor to Braun, but has obviously far outperformed his recruiting ranking.

As far as actual on court style, Harris has a very similar game to Aaron Miles in that neither were good shooters, neither looked to get their own shot first, and both were happier to create for others. A lot of the complaints against Harris stem from the fact we're so used to seeing our PG be either first or second in scoring because that's Self's preferred style of PG play.

I will also say that the roster composition for both title teams was very similar. A play making PG with the scoring PG as the 6th man (Robinson-Collins, Harris-Martin), a second guard that could shoot lights out (Chalmers, Braun), a wing that could do a little bit of everything (Rush, Agbaji), a 4 that could drive and clean up on glass (Arthur, Wilson), and a 5 that was serviceable, but not flashy (Jackson/Kaun, McCormack). Obviously those two teams had their own individual strengths and weaknesses (2008 was much better in defense and 2022 was much better on offense), but there were a lot of similarities with how those teams were constructed in March.

Thank you. at least you can be civil in your response. Greatly Appreciated

Kelvin Sampson couldn’t even reach 50 smh

3 OT with Carolina and Bama.

About to go to 4

Wow, bama guy clearly blocked unc shot as it was going up and they called goaltend

If that decides the game thats a damn shame

I don't really know how you can review that as it's such a judgment call. In real time I thought it was goaltending. I don't care much to be honest.

Wow Had missed that but just saw Purdue just whupped Duke's tail- - 75-56 - -Duke loses -- Carolina loses Again - -crazy season already

Anyone know if only Nike schools are being invited to Phil Knight's ego driven tournaments?

When the new rankings come out it's going to look quite a bit differently than the first month of the season polls.

Yes, it's only Nike schools.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Unless something changed that I'm not aware of we're still Adidas?

If Phil Knight is allowed to do that should the NCAA allow it? I'm no lawyer but it almost sounds like an anti-trust type thing or something. Maybe the great legal minds here can speak to that.

This is not college hoops exactly but it is other games. I have an impeccable record of switching the channel to the Chicago Blackhawks just at the right time to see the other team score.

@wissox When Nike and Ticketmaster merge, we'll talk. Meanwhile, no issue. Lots of tourneys for bb teams.

It doesn't violate any anti-trust stuff and it's not set up any different than the other November tournaments. Teams are invited the same way they're invited to Maui, Atlantis, KC, or any other preseason tournament.

Was thinking that just now myself - - -Gonzaga lost Again now with 2 losses - - - North Carolina lost twice over the holiday weekend - - Duke lost again - - WE lost Mercy crazy already

Yeah I'm thinking that tournament might be seen as too good. UNC walks away with 2 losses which is survivable for them I guess. But most teams aren't going to like the potential to lose two games. MSU has to play Portland in a meaningless 5th place game and nearly lost to 5-4 mid-major Portland. Kudos to Sparty for beating Oregon in their homestate, but it makes me wonder how many teams are going to want to travel to the Pacific Northwest and risk two or even three losses.

Meanwhile Indiana holds their own 'invitational' and is 6-0 without having played anybody. And like the last 30 years since Bobby left they're being overrated. But Indiana fans won't tell you they're overrated. They think, to their credit I guess, that Indiana basketball is still relevant.

Caleb Love gets the efficiency award of the day for the Tarheels: 13 out of 36 shooting: 34 points.

That tournament is two 8 team brackets and not any more loaded than other higher profile tournaments can be. One of the brackets had 4 ranked teams and the other had 3 ranked teams. That's not uncommon for some of the higher profile tournaments like Maui, Atlantis, or Orlando to have fields like that as well.

I also think tournaments like that early on are beneficial because it really exposes a team's strengths and weaknesses.

The only game I've seen of Indiana this year was their game against Xavier and IU looks like a solid team that should contend for the Big 10 this year and if KU plays like they did against Tennessee, IU could KU off the floor as well.

I see Houston is #1 on CBS Sports. They’ve played an easy early schedule and only have two ranked teams to play this year, at this point.

I’m going to watch tomorrow’s game. Has anyone watched them? Give me some hints as to what to watch for?

Really good backcourt. Sasser is their best player. Walker and Arceneaux are exciting freshman with both on NBA radars. They defend and rebound. Kind of the staple of Sampson..

There's a reason they're a title favorite this year. Marcus Sasser is NPOY levels of good. They still have a few players from their Fonal Four team two years ago so this team is battle tested. They also have Kelvin Sampson who is a top 5 coach right now. He's done something even Self hasn't done in taking multiple schools to the Final Four. This is a team that has a shot to run the table year and are better suited to do so than Wichita St. was a few years ago.

@Texas-Hawk-10

Houston can defend at a top 5, maybe top 3 level. That means they are in every game before it even tips. If they can score at all, they are a threat.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to watch tonight.

Houston had their chance to win a NC. 1983 loaded team with two future hall of famers leads NCState with zero recognizable names and the legend of Jim Valvano is born. Guy Lewis the towel toter of Houston goes into a stall instead of just continue to score nearly at will and ends up on the receiving end of one of basketballs most quintessentially famous plays, the Wittenburg Airball caught by Prince Lorenzo Charles and slammed through. Valvano became famous as he ran around looking for someone to hug. Lewis regretted his decision for the rest of his life.

Tucky is tied with Bellarmine with 12 minutes to go. They've put up 34 points in 28 minutes against a team that just became Div 1...lol.

Kenpom #37, 13th ranked O (20 slots higher then KU), 95th ranked D. Sounds spot on to what you said. They have given up 80+ to 4 teams so far & have played what has to be one of the worst schedules to date.

Southern Indiana, Penn, Lindenwood, SIUE, Miss Valley St, Coastal Carolina, Hou Christian, Wichita St has been their slate so far. Talk about murderer's row.

@BeddieKU23 If we play focused we should win, idc about what torvik et al say

@BShark

We should have no issue putting up 90 on them.

I actually like Isaac brown. The fans hate him and still love the ego-maniac player beater Marsha. Oh, and they still hate us. I kinda wonder if even the players from his good teams like him.

Last season of the ACC/BIG challenge as the ACC backed out. Not sure it had to do with the BIG signing with FoxSports or if it was the BIG has regularly won the challenge the last 10 years or so. BIG not doing as well this year and will need to pick up some wins against the big boys of the league in order to win. Curious to see Indiana against Duke.

Well KState goes down 76 - -64 to Butler tailed by as much as 20 trailed almost entire game. - -Keyonte Johnson was perfect from the field for them finished with 20 I believe

The ACC didn't back out. It's being replaced with an ACC/SEC challenge and it's because of the B10 no longer having a TV deal with ESPN and the ACC and SEC still having ESPN deals. It also means the B12/SEC challenge is coming to an end this season as well. I would expect the B12 and B10 to start something in the next year or two.

It’ll be fun playing our old Big 12 compadres 😉

UNC is all out of sorts. They run a lot of stuff, just none of it well.

@jayballer67 I honestly thought that was smoke and mirrors. They flat sucked for most of last season until they got scalding hot late. Then lost their best player in Manek and replaced him with a total stiff. The pieces don’t really fit and Hubert isn’t a great X’s and O’s Coach.

Missouri looks like a decent rec league team. Gave up 89 against SEMO (they did win tho). They could not defend members of this board (slight exaggeration).

Michigan St is seemingly on the downturn. Northwestern beat them by 7 tonight in East Lansing. Pitt destroyed NU last week.

@wissox

IMO Izzo just doesn't have the talent level he normally does. Mady Sissoko has improved a bunch at the 5 for them and he's the only starter they got who'd start at KU currently. Normally you'd be splitting hairs with starting 5's.

Not sure the NIL frenzy, transfer hoopla is playing to Izzo's strengths anymore. He was always known for developing his guys but his top 2 players are transfers now who'd really be their 3rd or 4th options on his past good teams

But they show what can happen when players buy in... they can milk a hot streak all the way to the FF.

I thought we overachieved when TRob and crew took us to the FF. Our hearts carried us a long ways that year!

ACC: 84-47 (64.1%)

A few brutal injuries from Arkansas & Michigan for ACL's.

Trevon Brazile, former Missouri forward is out for the season for Arkansas. Was their 6th man, averaging 11ppg & 6 boards. Also a potential lottery pick.

Iowa flattens the Clones in a game that was one of the most lopsided of the year. It was 29-8 in the first 10 minutes. Clones look the part of a B12 basement dweller.

@Jethro So their #20 ranking was slightly inflated?

Even worse, Iowa didn't even have their best player, the other Murray brother who averages over 20ppg.

@Jethro That’s an actual life skill though. Those kids will be good workers. - someone actually worth hiring at their age is pretty damn impressive these days.

Found this today:
“Division III Grinnell took 111 shots against Emmaus Bible College on Thursday and every single one of the shots were 3-point attempts. The Pioneers' 111 attempted 3-pointers set the NCAA single-game record for most 3-point attempts in a game.

What's more, they connected on 40 of them, shooting a respectably efficient 36% from beyond the arc in a blowout 124-67 win. (The missing four points there for you math wizards came from the free-throw line.) Its 40 made 3-pointers was two shy of Grinnell's own single-game record set four years ago against Emmaus when it made 42 3-pointers in a win.”

@Gorilla72 I am just speculating here, but it looks like the prayers put up by Emmaus had a lower success rate.

@Gorilla72 @mayjay I played college basketball and it was for Emmaus Bible College! I scored 2 points taking advantage of a defensive breakdown against Clarke University. They've actually developed a program that competes in the NCCAA, the extra C being Christian, and they were in the Final Four last year. When I played we were a glorified intramural team without a gym. Rented an elementary school gym for a day or two each week.

It's a school of only about 200 people and hats off to them for scheduling Grinnell, a school of 1600 students. Grinnell is the Loyola Marymount on steroids school that never met a shot it didn't like. They're famous for scoring but not necessarily winning because their act hasn't netted them too much success nationally I don't think.

To be honest calling it an NCAA record is a bit disingenuous. They knew they could win by just shooting 3's. It was against a non-NCAA school, so just like Billy Preston didn't really play NCAA basketball because it not against a D1 school, I really think Grinnell should be embarrassed for bragging about this 'accomplishment'.

The next year I entered the portal and went to KU but Larry Brown couldn't find a spot for me on the team.

Man after an impressive win over Texas Illinois is getting it handed to them by Penitentiary State University.

Louisville and Florida St. are playing each other today with a combined record of 1-17. I know Louisville's issues, but I'm shocked by how bad FSU is because they're usually a pretty strong team.

He's quite a strange dude. Bottom line is he is a mediocre coach with a bad temper. He's never made a S16, even.

BREAKING: Texas Tech's Fardaws Aimaq is expected to transfer, source told @stadium.

Aimaq transferred this past year from Utah Valley, where he averaged 18.9 ppg 13.6 rpg per game.

Has yet to play this season while recovering from a broken foot. Hard cast was removed Monday.

He only averaged 13.6 boards last year, down from the 15.0 boards the year before, which led the nation. He averaged 18.9 points per game last year on a wide array of post moves and 3 point shooting. He shot .435 from 3. We was the WAC defensive player of the year in 2021 and also 2022.

Looking rough so far, but Ohio St is a decent team. Lots of hero ball at the guard position. Bacot looks good though.

Not college basketball, but the Indianapolis Colts blew a 33 point lead in the second half to the Vikings and are now in OT.

And the Vikings win in OT to finish the biggest comeback in NFL history.

Indiana fans are having a great day

Manek was significantly better than Nance and it shows.

Really no improvement by any of UNC’s players this off-season… if anything some serious regression

If one of the freshman bigs can get it together for us so we can match up against size we have a shot. Otherwise we will need some help from the selection committee.

Yeah Woodson is not it but it is too soon for them to move on from him. Probably a few more years of purgatory at least.

I think KU is legit a top 10 team for sure despite all the concerns. CBB is mostly down as a whole.

It is unbelievable the beating Cal is taking on Rupp Rafters. - -I was talking with a friend and said with all the talent Cal has had he has done the least with that talent.

My friend brought up a good point and I agree 100 % - He has all these 5 * and they come in and all individuals - not team concept - in High School it was all about me , me , me - haven't or won't adjust - -you have a group of 5 individuals not team.

Coach Self might not get quite as talent but he develops players much bettr. - Example look at McCormick from his Freshman year to last year in the NCAA tourney - I'll stay with the players and Coach we have

@jayballer67 Cal said himself the main goal of UK basketball is NOT national championships but getting players drafted. He's got the #1 recruiting class next year so they are stuck with him until at least 2025. No Roy, No K, Cal is obsolete, we truly are blessed to have Self as our coach.

Iowa State has cancelled their game for tonight and the women tomorrow or the other way around - -but either way they cancelled their game because of the storm.

They said the two Schools both believed it was the best thing to do , giving the athletes a chance to get out early and be able to get home and spend time with family over the holiday.

GREAT day for the SEC : Miss St loses to Drake, Wofford beats A & M, N Alabama beats Ole Miss.

Baylor only put up 58 points on Northwestern State at home. 58-48 final. Watched this one and KU is 7-10 points better then them right now, at minimum.

Oregon lost to Utah Valley at home. Now 7-6. Wonder if Altman will be on the hot seat...

Well our Ladies took their 1st loss to Nebraska tonight at Nebraska - - 85 - - 79 in 3 overtimes. - -Just couldn't gt that one stop when needed.

We trailed by as many as 13 - -fought back and it was on from their. - -Nebraska really good. - Hadn't lost at home -beat the crap out of Maryland by 20 plus and are 10-3 now, Nebraska had been ranked earlier this year. - -Still really proud of the Ladies took 3 overtimes to gt beat - - Still doing good ladies - - MERRY CHRISTMAS - ROCK CHALK

@BeddieKU23 Their fans love him, well at least most it seems. They have an overdeveloped sense of their teams skill level. Last year was kind of hilarious. Both Iowa and UW were picked to finish in the lower half of the league. While Greg Gard turned a pick of finishing 1oth into a tie for the league, Iowa turned a pick of finishing 9th into 4th and earning a bye in the BIG tournament. While Gard was hands down the winner, many Hawkeye fans Fran should have gotten it for his 'accomplishment' of earning a bye. And they were serious. I'm glad I'm not a homer like that!

Arizona State got absolutely wrecked by San Francisco tonight. Losing by 44 with 4:35 left 😂😂

Dons may have scored more in the first half than ASU will score the entire game

I watched a bit of that game, the refs were not good. That was a physical game the refs were letting get out of control.

Mizzou up 66-36 on 16th ranked Illinois. In basketball.

What in the world

@KirkIsMyHinrich My complicated sports world includes Illinois as that's where I grew up and while I will pull for them this program is a constant disappointment. One of the greatest states for producing talent and it continues to endure embarrassments like this. I was excited for the Brad Underwood hire, but not thinking he has what it takes.

Last spring when I was in the United Center for the elite 8 and they were announcing the players and coach after we won a lady screamed "F... You Bill Self". I think Illinois fans recognize he was the one who was going to lead them to the promised land and they're still bitter about losing him.

But as bad as Mizzou looked against us, this result is just a shocker tonight.

That being said there's lots of shockers going on in college hoops this year. If you just look up through this thread there's plenty of evidence of a sort of parity in our great game.

Little known factoid that says alot: I guess where the Dook's basketball offices are set up, they have an entire floor for Coach Rat, and their new coach Scheyer has a little cubicle.

Missouri also smoked Illinois. At this point, I think it'd be safe to say Missouri is probably an at-large team at this point.

Eek, Gonz beat EAQ the score says. Now EAQ, I haven't even clicked to see who EAQ is but I'm guessing they're not in the top uh, 200?

Eastern Australian Queensland? Emporia Aquifer? Earl and Quinton? Estonia, Armenia and Qatar? Everybody's Aunt Queeny? Anyways, congrats Gonz for their 78 point victory.

Who do fans root for games between Missouri and Kentucky.

I root for Missouri.

So nice watching Tucky get SMOKED.

@AsadZ I root for a scoreless tie.

@AsadZ

I root against UK even more than Mizzou. Even though our true rivalry is with Mizzou... UK is on our level (except for class).

With that UK loss to Mizzou we gained one more game in the overall wins competition plus.. I just can't stand Calipari. To me, he has always been a subpar D1 coach who only exists on recruiting.

Mizzou is a much better team after our beat down. I felt sure they would improve because beat downs tend to do that to teams... especially undefeated teams.

@BShark Sounds like me after any KU loss. Especially to KSU, which fortunately doesn't happen often.

@BShark

I can't imagine Kansas having a group of numbskulls like that. I hate to inject politics in this... so I won't... I mean... I won't blame a political party. I will just say that there is some pretty unintelligible people out there who live in a world of hate, disinformation, and now fueled by conspiracy theories. No... it doesn't definitely mean GOPrs because I've known these traits in both parties. I'm bringing that group to attention because the threat you posted sounds like that type of crowd.

Do we have a large amount of these followers at Kansas? I hope not. I hope no one is talking about our coaches, players, and administration like this.

I hope people don't respond to my post here with politics. I only mentioned it because it is constantly being mentioned in politics today.

@drgnslayr The comments about politics on the UK board were certainly interesting.

K-State up big over Texas at Texas. 49-33 w/ 4 min left in the 1st half.

How do you beat Texas 116-103 ? - - you shoot 61 % rom the field- -- -you make 31-33 from the free throw line - -Nowell Scores 36 points --& Johnson scores 28. - - Nice defense

And then there were none.

The last remaining undefeated team in D1, 21st-ranked New Mexico, loses by 4 at Fresno State.

KSU clearly winning it all, anything less would be a disappointment.

Giving up 116 pts at home is beyond amateur hour, I know Texas is down a coach but wow you're seeing why Terry is an assistant these days. Statistically the game was pretty even on both sides. 59 free throws shot, omg and we thought the ref crew in Lubbock was awful, imagine sitting through 46 fouls.

Texas let Johnson and Nowell shoot 19-31 from the field, 7/14 from 3, 19-19 from the FT line and combine for 66 points. Texas has fallen off

Should be more fun beating up on little bro this year!

Who ever thought that making Bruce Weber and that voice a TV studio host on BTN? He's hard to listen to.

Mizzou blows a big lead and loses to Arkansas. 😀

Nike delivered a handpicked squad to Duke and Johnny boy is going to lose 11 games with them.

Lol Baylor

Tcu looks really good! Fast.

Is Baylor the worst team in the B12?

I think West Virginia is worse.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

No but they are not as good as the previous 3-4 Baylor teams which is a hard bar to continue to stay at. Cryer being off/on injured hurts them. They lack an athlete at the 4 position and Thamba being a non-scoring threat in the post makes them really perimeter oriented. It's their defense that's struggles the most not having that 4 man that can dictate the lane and disrupt.

TCU is a tough out especially with their experience and chemistry. I think they are our toughest matchup in the Big-12 this year 1-5. Extremely rare to see a team return its Top 8 players from a year ago.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch::hugging_face:

Poor roster construction though. College Basketball got old because of covid, the transfer portal and now NIL. You cannot win today with freshman leading & the teams still trying to do it are behind the times. I'm glad Jon doesn't realize what's happening and will continue to stockpile the 5-6 HS players that dream of playing at Duke for a year before they leave.

I don't even bat an eye anymore when Duke/Kentucky get all the hoopla 5 star recruits. It used to give them an advantage but now you can go get ready made players in the portal and negate those advantages.

I've said a lot just to say they are not Bill Self at recruiting, development & roster construction.

A look at the Big-12 via Kenpom and conference record so far. I'll try and update this weekly.

Lifted this: thought it was pretty good:

Since Dec 1:

KU Opponents: 81 fouls
KU fouls: 112

KU Opponents: 112 free throws
KU free throws: 69

“Damn refs! Always helping Kansas win!”

@Jethro

We haven't been driving the ball hard enough. Just look at the Tech game. I think their entire offense started with a hard drive into the paint. We need MORE people than JWil driving!

@Jethro

Situationally I think we have benefitted the last two games.

What I took away from those stats is that KU is not a good team at drawing fouls and getting to the line. KU is 315th in the country in FT attempts per game. A definite weakness that needs improvement. Getting to the FT line can be impactful and the difference in a game where both teams are even statistically etc. How KU is running offense and generating points is perhaps the biggest factor for why they struggle getting to the line. We'll see what evolves of this moving forward.

Damn! The Big 12 is as tough as everyone is making us out to be!

KSU trashes Texas! Baylor loses at home!

We can't fall asleep on anyone this year... we started to with OSU at home and it took quite the effort to pull that one out!

I'm curious if this will become one of those "typical Jayhawk conference" seasons? We win-out at home and take some on the road then we appreciate teams like KSU doing some dirty work for us by punching some of the other conference best teams...

I'm just not sold on us being that kind of team this year. With our outrageous talent and proudly wearing a Nattie trophy around our necks during the conference season it makes more sense that we become a great road warrior team and then sometimes fall asleep at home. I hope it's not the case and we come ready for the rest of our games... if not... we will be totally embarrassed sometimes. But that can work, too. Thank you, Kentucky, for spanking us on our home court last year! lol

After 1 week of league play and having watched bits and pieces of almost every other Big-12 game it's already clear that the officiating has been inconsistent and sub-par, some of it down-right embarrassing. I saw Iowa St shoot a ball off the side of the backboard out of bounds last night in the first half, get the ball back and score. You have to be blind to have missed the ball not being out of bounds. OU fans were livid. And there's just too many examples of things like this already.

KJ Adams was held by his legs trying to make a layup with no call in the first half of the Tech game. Just stuff that shouldn't be missed, blatant obvious stuff here. We all know he was fouled on his game sealing Dunk as well. A play that could have gone differently and horribly wrong given his speed and momentum to the rim.

Perhaps having 3 refs on the court isn't enough though I doubt more eyes will make a difference. I hope the Big-12 is reviewing this stuff and having active talks. There's no reason after 1 week to have seen this level of inconsistency in league play.

Feels like a year KU wins the league running away with it... Texas was primed to give us a run for our money until the Bear ordeal. I'm not sure anyone else really has the horses to do it. TCU could, but only if they are essentially perfect.

@drgnslayr

The round-robin schedule + KU's dominance in league play has evolved this league into what it is. Self raised the bar single handily for every team and it's morphed into this beast now. We should all enjoy it because this is the end of this great league's magic with OU/Texas leaving for money.

The league will be in a transition for years to come after this royal rumble ends

@Kcmatt7

I hope you are right, but I fear we will be in for a tough conference battle that will come down to the end.

The upsets are just an indication of the parity of our league. TCU, Texas, Baylor... tough teams. And I advise not falling asleep on KSU, WV, ISU... actually anyone!

@BeddieKU23

I hate to be one of those fans that constantly complains about officials... but... you are correct!

@BeddieKU23

I think the Big 12 may even become a tougher league.

I loveeeeee bringing Sampson (Houston) into our league. And I have a feeling we will be adding the Zags. The other additions are solid, too.

UT and OU made a difference in football.... not so much in basketball. Eventually... our league will be represented across America, making it that much stronger for recruits. Texas is a monster state for basketball recruiting and I am happy to trade Texas for Houston.

I can't wait to watch UT argue for power in the SEC. They just traded $ for irrelevance!

@drgnslayr I love being one of those fans who constantly complains about the officials. I wear that badge proudly, the watchdog of officiating, the critics critic, the law and order of officials.

I'll say this, although we've been complaining, seeing @Jethro and his foul discrepancy since Dec 1 and everything, I think it's a statistic that lends some credibility to the zebras. Because of course the narrative is there that KU gets the calls, but there's data disproving that.

I really think we're cream of the crop this year. I keep saying 14-4 is our floor.

If you want some entertainment and you're a twitter user just go to Twitter and type Jon Scheyer.

@wissox

Duke gets the calls, not us. There is no "blue blood whistle" which I have read on several sports sites. Just ask Indiana. They even have fans that swear they aren't a blue blood program any longer because of the bad whistles.

I think Duke got the calls because K is the best coach of all times concerning nagging refs. I guarantee refs don't like hearing him nag. It makes a difference.

No way Scheyer will ever get to that level. He's like the "Home Alone" kid who grew up and screams a lot now. He feels like he is entitled... it has been bred into him... maybe this is why -

I'm not a Scheyer fan... but at least I give him thumbs up back in 2005, when he dissed Bruce Weber at UI. Heck... he was even coached by Bruce's brother and he still dissed him for Duke! lol

To show you what a grind this league is gonna be this year I just heard - - - -6 out of the first 10 games that have been played , they were ONE possession games.

Also you realize that FORUR teams lost home games - -Visitors stole the game on the road. - - KU - - Iowa State - - K/ State-- TCU all won on the road, you HAVE GOT to protect home turf if you wanna win this league

Watching Fran McCafferty blow up again- another T. No wonder his son wanted to get away from that.

@Jethro What do you mean he wanted to get away from that?

Fran blows up again in last minute of a 2 point game. Fran was over by the Indiana bench yelling at Woodson. His son has to be restrained by his own teammates. Ref signals Technical and then takes it away. How can you retract a tech?

This clip shows the T, and both McCaffery's having to be restrained. Then mysteriously there's no T assessed. This is really bad officiating. Indiana fans are pissed. 🐦 View Tweet?s=20&t=nCVgthsOHbptncYMRRu8Jg

From another tweet: Mike Woodson on the incident with Fran McCaffrey coming over towards the #iubb bench late in the game: “That’s bullshit. He should’ve been thrown out of the goddamn game.”

@wissox his kid left the game for awhile to deal with anxiety problems

@Crimsonorblue22 I realize that. I really don't know what Jethro meant.

@wissox crazy!

@wissox oh!

@Crimsonorblue22 Part of my anger is because I really dislike Iowa, but watching the refs just let Fran cool down and withdrawing the T they'd called after he crossed half court yelling at the Indiana bench was just egregious. It probably cost Indiana the game. Which means a T should have cost Iowa another game. Fran has done that twice in his career. I'd be in the AD's office tomorrow if I was an Iowa fan demanding he fire the fool.

@drgnslayr

I'm definitely more vocal about the refs. Complain, Criticize, whatever you want to call it, I'm calling it like I see it especially when they yield so much influence on a game.

Bigger picture issue is that officiating is not improving. I understand it's a difficult job. It seems to be the one area of the game that is constantly not performing at a consistent level & the reputation they have with fans accross the country only gets worse. The Iowa/Indiana Coach situation is a good example again from last night. I'd have less to gripe about if they just made the easy layup calls correctly.

What do I mean? His dad is a nut.

McCaffrey is such a small little man. I mean really, yelling at the opposing coach during a game? What an imbecile

@KirkIsMyHinrich i believe their offense is called “the scheyer shuffle”

Boy Brad Underwood is losing it at Illinois. They had yet another meltdown at Northwestern the other night giving up a 22-2 run to seal their fate. Today a 5 star freshman Skyy Clarke announced he's leaving the team "for personal reasons". Obviously I have no clue why he did this but his early PT was lagging behind other freshmen in their highly regarded recruiting class so people are speculating of course that it had something to it.

After their impressive win over Texas they have played 3 games against power conference schools and lost all three while winning several tuneup games which didn't serve their purpose apparently.

Sky Clark stated that him leaving Illinois had nothing to do with Basketball. - But DID have to do with pyritizing & Family.

What do fans think about KSU. Are they legit or an aberration.

@AsadZ

We'll find out Tuesday.

They have two 1st team All Big-12 caliber players at PG and Wing. I'm stunned at the pieces around them playing at the level they have.

They have an inflated record from a weak non-conference slate, but they are going to be tough to beat. They match up well with us.

@AsadZ They are Dusty Dinkleman

@BeddieKU23 both ksu and isu have played harder big 12 schedules so far and been impressive.

@jayballer67

We'll see, I think their depth is suspect as we go forward into conference play. They have 3 good starters and 2 average guys around them. Their bench is solid because they have 2 guys coming off the bench that were starters previously. Nothing spectacular but they get enough from those guys.

In this hot start in conference play they have been so reliant on scoring from Nowell & Johnson, both that at times have played at a level I don't think is sustainable. We'll see. They are good but I'm just not sold.

Agree - -not just yet. - going to be some interesting match ups in this game - -You think possibly they put Kevin on Johnson ? - -similar hghts aren't they ? - Juan on Nowell.

They have 3 good starters we have 3-4 pretty god starters. - our depth is suspect, - our bench of Bobby - - Joe - - MJ to a lesser degree ( we just haven't really gotten a good feel for him cause he is always hurt in one way or another ) & then our bigs - -kind of a hodge podge hee - -I guess you would have to say depends on the situation - so Clemence - Or Zuby - -so i think we offset there because there to I think we can gt just enough nothing special but I guess ok i guess -going to be interesting. - That place will be nuts - but we have vetrans that have been there before.

Another thing is I know sounds crazy but it just seems that this team doesn't gt rattled- - e get behind - we don't force/press just keep plugging along

@jayballer67

Yeah with K-St playing 2 big's primarily Kevin will likely get that assignment. Johnson doesn't scare me as much as Nowell, his play of late has been out of this world. Last year we could not contain him at all on high ball screens and from what I've seen of him he's even tougher to keep in front due to his quickness and athletic ability. Lately it's been the 3 ball as well that's been dropping for him at a high rate. Juan and Bobby really have their hands full.

The other important aspect of this game that KU will have to find a way to try and control is rebounding. Their 2 big's seem to get a lot of those 50/50 balls off long misses etc that extend possessions.

They have 3 good starters we have 3-4 pretty god starters. - our depth is suspect, - our bench of Bobby - - Joe - - MJ to a lesser degree ( we just haven't really gotten a good feel for him cause he is always hurt in one way or another ) & then our bigs - -kind of a hodge podge hee - -I guess you would have to say depends on the situation - so Clemence - Or Zuby - -so i think we offset there because there to I think we can gt just enough nothing special but I guess ok i guess -going to be interesting. - That place will be nuts - but we have vetrans that have been there before.

Another thing is I know sounds crazy but it just seems that this team doesn't gt rattled- - e get behind - we don't force/press just keep plugging along

I mean, do we ever really put anyone on a specific player? We just switch everything anyway so most teams can get whatever matchup they want. A player really has to go off for that style to change. Only special situational type stuff I've seen from this year's team is doubling the post and maybe once or twice Juan wouldn't switch when he was trying to clamp a specific guard.

That, to me, is what is pretty scary about how good this team could eventually be. They have so many more layers to explore.

K-St is looking really salty right now. I bet that game is a 1 point line either way. Will not be surprised if by tip off K-St is favored by a couple points. I watched some of their game against Oklahoma St and Nowell was pulling up from 30 feet and making threes. That is pretty tough to defend against. That game will come down to how well Harris can defend Nowell and how well Kevin can defend Johnson. If you can contain those two guys then KU will win. I think it is going to be one hell of a game.

Can Juan stay out of foul trouble guarding him?

Just want to mention that Tennessee so far is having the best rated D in the Kenpom era and it isn’t even close. Might not finish that way, but wow…

@Kcmatt7 that is interesting, impressive but still lots of games to be played of course.

I dislike that loss, but I'm a big fan of Barnes... mostly because he's a top-notch quality human being.

I'm psyched to see a quality KSU team again! They pretty much sucked under Weber and I'm glad he is gone! Tang is capable and welcome to help bring the Big 12 to a higher place. It's good for all of us to have a legit purple kitty team!

@drgnslayr I don't disagree with much that you say...until now. I friggin HATE K-State. I hope they lose every game from now until eternity. In football, basketball and I even hope the Livestock Judging team starts mistaking pigs for cows.

I will donate half my yearly salary forever to bring back Bruce.

@nuleafjhawk

I just like the tough rivalry.

It's not much of a rivalry smacking down KSU every single game.

Kind of like college football dominance in the SEC... it becomes a big ZERO after a while.

@drgnslayr There must be something wrong with me. I LOVE smacking down KSU every single game. The greater the beatdown, the more I love it. There's nothing worse to me than a 1 point game. Or in football - a 2 point game. After 3 overtimes.

Looks like we lead Kentucky in another category:!Screenshot 2023-01-13 at 6.46.27 PM.jpg ↗

@drgnslayr @nuleafjhawk sorry Nuleaf I agree with drgn. We need a good competitive rival. It’s why I hated to see misery leave. I want to see two games on the calendar every year that I set my life around. I want them to beat us every once in a while so we have reason to make it a fierce and bitter rival. But if you want to donate a million dollars to bring Bruce back more power to ya. He’s a studio guy on the big ten network and I can’t stand hearing that voice!

@drgnslayr And there is a reason he is the highest paid Coach - - -WHY ? - - because he just WINS. - -WIN BABY WIN - that's all he does. .My comment in this is not a jab at you drgnslayr - hope you don't think I'm being an ass to you lol , just an overall comment.

You always some really good posts/thoughts so just making sure you know my comment was not a shot at you lol. - Like I said glad we have OUR COACH -he get's more and develops our players better - Coach is awesome - -Glad Kentucky has Cal- We got Coach - -ROCK CHALK

Is everyone else enjoying Kentucky's struggles this year? I'm looking forward to their game at Tennessee today, then browsing the comments on Rupp Rafters. Thank you Bill Self.

I am and I am hoping Tennessee kills them today. For all-time wins purposes and also because we lost to Tennessee earlier in the season.

Another ref crew that calls way to many fouls at the Ten v. Kenty game. Jeez, why can't we get rid of these crews that think the game is about them?

Just like every year, Tennessee struggles to score. When they hit shots like they did against us, they look great. When they don’t, they are a quick out in March.

I think Alabama is the better team and has a higher ceiling.

Alabama is more balanced. 16th in offense and 10th in defense per KenPom. Tennessee is 1st in defense and 31st in offense. And their defense is sort of dependent on how the officials are calling the game. They play very physical defense.

Kentucky is playing better defense and Tennessee's offense looks very bad.

Yep, Tennessee’s O has never been very good under Barnes and will be the reason they don’t make it to the second weekend once again. I’d love a rematch with them but it ain’t gonna happen.

Officiating in this UK Tenn game is wow

No Wheeler and UK is winning… correlation?

Tennessee did it to themselves. They missed like 5 or 6 wide open lay-ups and shot 3-20 from 3.

They were 12-27 from 3 against us

NC State picked up a nice win against Miami. TCU up on KState

K State maybe cooling off a bit?

Tenn did not look good at all. So many misses

Tcu up 14 at half

TCU UP 22!!!

TCU honestly looking a bit like us. When they turn up the d and get out in transition they look like world beaters but have shown they can go stretches where they struggle to score. (Allowing UT to comeback last game)

@benshawks08 tcu plays more length than we do they are long and athletic like TN

Will see how we fair today but tcu will be right there battling for big 12 title

Alabama looks like a team we want to avoid until the final 4. 6-8, 6-10, 7-0 all long, lanky and athletic just hammering lsu

Bama looks like the top sec team and 1 seed

They have an elite roster. I think Alabama, UConn then UCLA in terms of raw roster strength.

10 ranked teams fall today.

@BShark UConn and UCLA are pretty good, but as far as potential and ceiling are considered, Alabama is definitely a notch above them. I think they’re the only team we couldn’t beat if both teams are playing at their best.

That said, I think we have a better chance to advance farther due to knowing how to close out close games due to coaching and how to win when you’re not blowing your wad from three. Got to save those for the elite eight and final four.

Oregon stomping Arizona.

@HawkChamp UConn played Alabama and won by 15. They are very, very good. I think either would beat us handily on most nights.

@BShark I mean, Tennessee beat us by 14 but after looking at their entire body of work and the way in which we lost, I don’t think they’re the better team. I’ve also watched UConn a bit and just don’t see the same potential as Alabama has at all. UConn has also lost 3 of their last four games. But anyway, it’ll all get sorted out in March.

Tennessee shot 12-27 from 3 against us. Harris fouled out in less than 20 minutes of play on questionable calls (and one obviously bad charge call) in a very physical game. Pettiford left early with injury and only played 3 minutes. A lot of things went wrong for us that game.

Today Tennessee shot 3-20 from 3, but they also missed like 5 or 6 completely wide open lay-ups. Like not contested lay-ups at all. I've never seen anything like that before, it was bizarre. Tennessee should have won that game.

Like I said early today, you simply can’t count on a Rick Barnes coached team. Especially for post season success. I will say though I’m glad we do have a loss, wouldn’t want the media constantly talking us up for being undefeated.

Well looks like we going against a eam not quite as strong defensively if I'm reading right according to the chart right my friend ? - -am I right in this looks like 39th ? Defensively & 37th offensively or am I reading that all wrong? They are ranked 26th overall according to Kenpom right ? - -If I AM reading that right - -then makes me feel a little better anyways - -still gonna have to buckle it up

@jayballer67

Correct 26th overall, 36th ranked offense, 39th ranked defense.

Weak non-conference schedule. I think this is a 2 man team that has average level starters besides them & suspect depth.

I'm expecting a tough, tough game but ultimately expect us to win, we are the better team with the best coach out there. Hopefully they play with poise.

Hopefully Nowell is done with his Linsanity run. Seems to have went back down to his more normal level.

Definitely had a bad game against TCU but worried he'll be primed for a bounce back at home. He is, after all, the only K-St starter that has experience playing KU.

Thanks for that. Glad I went and got my new glasses today , cause I reading 36th as 38 th lol -- - couldn't make out the difference between the 8 and the 6 lol.- - Mrecy getting old. , & agree pretty much the Johnson & Nowell show. - Just got to play solid

Man these B1G games are hard to watch. Buffalo ball most of the game and then foul for breathing the last 5 minutes. I'm glad we aren't in that league

@cragarhawk I agree, the officiating has been like that a lot this year. First half just a few fouls and then the 2nd they go whistle happy and it's double bonus for the last 10-12 minutes of the game.
