Let's beat the living Peep out of them.

Juan it's your stage today.

Rock Chalk

Great chance to go up by 81 games all-time on Mizzou trash today

Great to be back on the board. Miss you guys.

Everything from Missouri has a taint about it. We’re Jayhawkers, from Kansas.

@FarmerJayhawk Lived in MO for 30 yrs. I know what you are saying

the little paper tiger just came down out of the roof swinging down with a Jayhawk Pinetta- - . time to whup some paper tiger ass

Play with pace you say? We’ll run them back to the Confederacy

My Dad from LaHarpe, KS called Missourians Pukes. Which is a true moniker with roots back around 1830 or so regarding the lead ore discovery in far SW Illinois and when so many Missourians crossed the river that a lawmaker or someone said that Missouri puked people onto Illinois.

Anyone know why this game is in Columbia? did not think Self would sit still for that shit.

@jessejayhawk

Home and home.

@Zabudda But Columbia first????

@jessejayhawk we hung a hundo on them last year in Lawrence 😎

Home and away series. Last yr was in Allen

@jessejayhawk

Weren't we in Lawrence first? Idk.

@FarmerJayhawk Watched it, loved it

Norm Stewart is a piece of shit

@KirkIsMyHinrich I honestly thought he was dead

@FarmerJayhawk Looks like he's close.

@BeddieKU23 missed a lot last year, did not realize that they played last year

Wow KJ THAT WAS UGLY

Like our unis

Atta boy Kev

Nice job kev

Alright Alright Alright

Weak call

Sec call

Atta babe KJ

And one!

+1

nice pass

Nice pass, Dick

Kev

I hope these announcers are better than the NC/GT game.

Great ball fake

I ❤ it

Good start

Running them back to the 1860’s

Pushing it up and moving the ball - great start...

Gradey with his pink shoes💋

Cool SEC logos, Mizzou. Suits you

my god, the hawks are running. Love it

Don't care WHAT COLOR Grady wears s long as he plays well lol

Dykes has said some pretty awkward Gradey things. Lol

Good start

Let's pay tribute to Roy and drop 110 on Mizzou today

@KirkIsMyHinrich can we go for 120?

Norm Stewart was the coach at UNI before Mizoo and my Uncle Paul from Anderson county KS was a teacher there at the time. He said Norm was a good guy. I loved my uncle but geez.

@jessejayhawk said in Border War Game Thread:

@KirkIsMyHinrich can we go for 120?

If the pace holds, easily

Keith Langford talked about how he made the 'last' poster dunk in Hearnes Center!!

Bobby!

@Zabudda Stormin Norman was a POS both as a player and as a Coach

@tundrahok lol

I'll tell you one thing Bill does not want to lose in Columbia.

Gradey

WOW WHATS THE CALL

🙌

Hehehe

Soft ass foul

lol that's a foul on Bobby sure

Wow gradey. Unreal

Wow

Dick is on point :)

Kansas Kid Hates Mizzou 🔴🔵

Is it nice to sa "stick a Dick in em

My goodness Grady should be a top 5 pick

Sweet transition!

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Under control and composed.

dick dick dick BOOM

Dick taking the role of white Kansas guy that destroys Mizzou singlehandedly

RUN - - - -RUN- - - RUN

Gurley 🤭

Bill self is the real deal, no? Really?

@Crimsonorblue22 big if true

Jalen wtf lol

OMG!

Wrong call!

Remembre me saying during the week about Grady gonna take a lot of Grief from the Antlers during the game and then his response by going off scoring 20-25 pts & saying - -THAT'S MR DICK TO YOU - - - - - WELL - - - -THAT'S MR DICK TO YOU LOL

Wow that 3 from Kevin should have went down. His shot is looking awful good

Why do they keep showing the couple times Miz got us

@FarmerJayhawk said in Border War Game Thread:

Why do they keep showing the couple times Miz got us

175-95 all time

They have to make it seem like it's actually a rivalry

@FarmerJayhawk and never show the 100 point blowouts by KU

Ball don’t lie

@KirkIsMyHinrich lol🤮🌾🌾🌾

FU ref

Flop

FLOP FUCKER

Just awful man

If you brick a FT so bad it bounds to the 3 point line what the hey.

$EC

KJ came to play

❤KJ

KJ pulled a T Rob

Our 🏀

@FarmerJayhawk said in Border War Game Thread:

KJ pulled a T Rob

Glad Pressey's here to see it again

He's set

F you ref

Zebras trying to keep them in it

Alright guys tighten it back up. Sloppy sloppy letting them back into it a little

looked like a charge

@jessejayhawk said in Border War Game Thread:

looked like a charge

More of one then they gave kev

Stick the Dick

Joe

YES

I never thought I’d see a better shooter from 3 than BG in a KU uniform. And Dick is literally lapping him

And us to run? Okie dokie

Nice schedule Mizzou. You sure look like a 9-0 team

They need a new coach

Glad they dressed for us!🤠

@Kcmatt7 beg to differ with Boschee

NO - - - -NO - - -JOE-- -NO YOU DIDN'T - - LMAO - - -ROCK CHALK BABY

@BeddieKU23 they will probably have 2 of then by seasons end

Let's play football

Oh wait, you're cowards

Shut that crowd right up 🙋‍♀️

Think they'll leave at half?

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Border War Game Thread:

Let's play football

Oh wait, you're cowards

Lol now you stop that lol

DELICIOUS.

@RockChalkinTexas senior year Boschee shooting .467 on 237 attempts legitimately insane I’ll say that

@FarmerJayhawk said in Border War Game Thread:

Why do they keep showing the couple times Miz got us

Because it's much rarer when they win.

@Crimsonorblue22 thet may just turn the lights off to save money

@Crimsonorblue22 with their crying towels they passed out with little.....kU

Missouri getting a full force blast of Gradey so far!

Let's run the score up.

Gotta finish that Yes

Grade E can probably shoot better than them in the dark

kj ATX

charity calls for Mizzou

phantom foul call

KJ has actually made people guard him the last few games. Nice to see

Kj loves De

“Bill Self knows the explosability of this team” genius

@approxinfinity said in Border War Game Thread:

“Bill Self knows the explosability of this team” genius

Well he is the SEC commentator

@KirkIsMyHinrich ha :hundred_points:

Walk?

I'm pretty sure Gradey is energized by the rivalry. Now, I hope he brings the fire to the second half

@Kcmatt7 He is definitely playing a helluva lot taller than 6'7

gradey got mauled...

@Kcmatt7 KJ high screens are really effective, with his athleticism and ability to put the ball on tbe deck that screen can be all over the court and on time, and on the roll he can peel off and play point forward with ball in his hands. Absolutely in love with how hes playing offensively

Keep em below 25 for the half

Nice dick pass

Slop

Ok quit messing around

Can't let up guys

Hell of an offensive board by KJ

Make a layup jalen

Haha

Oh that works

Lol DaJuan making dudes look so dumb

@Kcmatt7 and then...

Damn Juan. Great pass then that to..

What a beautiful pass by Dejuan, man

Come on now , getting really sloppy. Don't let these idiots back in grab that little throat and just choke it - don't give them any hope

Gradey is like CB....understands the rivalry

The duality of Juan

Wow Bobby. Get your head in the game

Kj just a jumper away from having NBA potential

👭🙌
From the birthday girls

Way to run!

Another strong Dick rebound

Are you kidding me

I sound like a broken record but dam another great sick pass

KJ Adams

MY GAWD

Alright

💋💋KJ

@RockChalkinTexas

Happy Birthday ladies!

Ha, auto correct for “dick”

Gradey's effort on the glass has been good tonight

I'll take it.

One of the most intimidating thing in sports is shooting free throws when everyone else is in the locker room lol

Should be a foul

Gradey has 6 boards and 4 assists to go along with 15 points. Love it

That's a foul

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Border War Game Thread:

Gradey has 6 boards and 4 assists to go along with 15 points. Love it

Very active game for him

@KirkIsMyHinrich and his passing, and his shooting and his IQ. He just looks so good all around

I’ll take 17 at half. Hang a hundo

Gotta play their asses off to hit the 120 that I want

Remember! We were down 19, right? We were there. Best game ever! Not gonna be a comeback for the home team today!

@FarmerJayhawk Just between you and me. I'll take the 100

I'm glad this game still means something to Missouri fans. Sold out arena and plenty of student enthusiasm

@stoptheflop said in Border War Game Thread:

Everyone else's Super Bowl

If they play some D this MO team can make some noise.

This is not a surprise to me in the least.

They play so fast that they get out of control. Or they are really amped up to play KU.

Zach Edey for Purdue 7'4" yikes.

@AsadZ I really don/t think they play nearly as fast as KU

Anyone else concerned about the lack of bench scoring? Joe's 4 is all the bench scored.

@Jethro said in Border War Game Thread:

This is not a surprise to me in the least.

psssst , come on now - -- would it be a surprise to you if I became the pope tomorrow lol -- just messin with you bud

Off topic, but OT in Army Navy

@stoptheflop will we see Zuby or Zach first IF KJ gets in foul trouble?

Jalen is having a quiet game: Only 6 shot attempts and 7 points. 3 of which came of a Gradey assist.

@stoptheflop said in Border War Game Thread:

Anyone else concerned about the lack of bench scoring? Joe's 4 is all the bench scored.

ya somewhere along the line we gonna need help from the bench. - - Yet actually bench didn't see the floor a lot of minutes anyways, Udeh was almost zelch- - Rice practically zero so hard to score if your not on the floor. - Yet how you gonna take KJ out when he is playing like he is - -

@stoptheflop really looked like he was pressing

@FarmerJayhawk said in Border War Game Thread:

I’ll take 17 at half. Hang a hundo

probably some of the best we have played this year. -- 65 % shooting in the 1st half - - 60 % from the 3. - -About the only negative is the 10 turnovers

Not worried about Jalen. Good to know we can dominate someone without him being the alpha scorer

@BeddieKU23 said in Border War Game Thread:

Not worried about Jalen. Good to know we can dominate someone without him being the alpha scorer

yes that is a nice feeling.- - being able to have a nice lead , be ahead for most the 1st half and Jalen really a non factor. - that has to be promising. Still need bench to contribute though- we just gonna have togt something something from them down the line

Aannddd a nice steal by Dick too

@stoptheflop said in Border War Game Thread:

Jalen is having a quiet game: Only 6 shot attempts and 7 points. 3 of which came of a Gradey assist.

He heard you.

I don't think we will see much of the bench. Coach wants to embarass Mizzou as much as passible

Run up the score!

I smellllll bloood

@BeddieKU23 Let/s smell a lot of it

Jumpin - - gee - -hossie--- toads- - I if I were a betting man would have to say - - that's a nice start - -thank you and good night

Vegas might have missed the mark. Badly

@BeddieKU23 What was the line?

Max

Just had red velvet cake and Blue Bell peppermint bark ice cream.
Delicious

Grade E just smiling

Nice touch by Adams under the bucket

@RockChalkinTexas I think I'll BBQ a Tiger tail

What foul on Juan? lol

Come on...tighten it up, guys

Was that both a wrong call on the foul and the goaltend? Lol

Not even a foul ref. Your BLIND

Wrong guy to call it

@Kcmatt7 said in Border War Game Thread:

Was that both a wrong call on the foul and the goaltend? Lol

Beyond stupid. Blind

KJ is becoming a dude. Game by game

Embarrass them out of their own gym.

Fouled Kevin too

@BeddieKU23 he can dribble

Love every second of this....

Don't be a ghost Gradey.

@Crimsonorblue22

His senior yr will be fun.

Anybody know what time we tip off against the 9 -0 Missouri Tigers tonight lol

@Zabudda said in Border War Game Thread:

Don't be a ghost Gradey.

he's probably falling alseep. this is like playing sisters of the poor.

@Zabudda let em put 2 guys on him and open up someone else

Should be cam and jank time soon!

Low key I’d love to see Cam with the starters. Just for a minute. Just to see how it feels.

Harris has 8 assists. I shouldn't be surprised but seriously the dude just does it so effortlessly

Zuby didn’t get any run today? But I guess when KJ is playing out of his mind you let him go…

@BeddieKU23 all gas no brakes

Missouri sucks

I love winning in Columbia with Juan at PG.

Mizzou not even recruiting their own backyard is so funny to me

Sloppy

What a game in Philly. Army wins in double OT

Nice pass

Needed that

Mizzou's defense is so bad

Looks so easy

KJ is playing some serious ball. Everywhere,

Self po'd

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Border War Game Thread:

@RockChalkinTexas I didn't know about Q's dad.

@Crimsonorblue22 for who didn't help in backcourt

@BeddieKU23 said in Border War Game Thread:

Kevin! Home alone!

KJ

Man without footers forget about stopping KJ

KJ has had himself one helluva game

KJ - - MR - - ADAMS with 19

The last 4 minutes of this game should just be trying to generate opportunities for KJ to dunk on Mizzou

Kevin and KJ. 2 dudes. Respect

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I think MAYBE - - - JUST MAYBE - - we win

@KirkIsMyHinrich my home boy.

@Crimsonorblue22 he's close to take over Oubre in my eyes👀

So weird to me gradey can't score both halves

Doesn't look sold out anymore

@RockChalkinTexas kj?

@Crimsonorblue22 YES

Technically Kev has another yr after this. NIL TAKE CARE OF THIS

@KirkIsMyHinrich :trophy: winner!

Self was right, go figure.

@BeddieKU23 as does Jalen. Everyone but Cam could come back 👀

Ouch, what a 3 by JW!

Tennessee is going to murder these guys come conference play.

Lol love Jalen pointing scoreboard

I saw Dr. Randall.
I want the chant!!

@StLJhawk and the 😘

Only 2 second half pts by the bench. Hopefully that will change in the last 3 minutes.

Cake and ice cream for the birthday girls!

2 years of playing this ymca for the blind squad. Perhaps we should upgrade

I'd say we passed our first road test pretty well. We beat Seton Hall 91-65, now we squash Misery by 28. Maybe we're getting better...

@RockChalkinTexas

Nice.

I didn't see anything from Cam Martin that gave me hope for an improvement at the 5. KJ it is: 19 pts., 6 rbs., 2 steals and a block. RC

Jalen is literally coach self in the interview

@BeddieKU23 said in Border War Game Thread:

I really enjoy the rivalry. KU in Columbia packed their house. I say keep it going.

Does miz try to get out of the next 4 beatdowns like they did the bowl?

KU -3.5. Beat the spread by just a hair

Kevin had a nice game too: 8/12 for 21 pts. Nice scoring by our starters and Dejuan doing just what he's supposed to do to make this team rock.

It was really easy. I never bought the hype from a creampuff schedule.

@KirkIsMyHinrich decimal might be in the wrong place

@Crimsonorblue22 You know who hasn't been here lately is the user I suspect is not actually a KU fan...

KU cruised easily, but a couple issues to worry about for later in the season.

1. Self only trusts 7 guys on this roster, even in a blowout. Harris, Adams, McCullar, Dick, Wilson, Yesufu and Pettiford are the only guys Self is willing to give any run. We are vulnerable to injury or foul trouble because Self has set a tight seven man rotation. If we are healthy, we are fine, but if any of those 7 aren't available, that's trouble.

2. Lack of size is getting us beat up on the glass. Mizzou had 12 offensive boards. Irrelevant in a blowout, but without any size to go to off the bench, that is a continuing concern.

Great to blow out Mizzou (always). But KU has some things to sort out to prepare for March.

@BShark said in Border War Game Thread:

Cam's play today should kill any and all talk of him getting real playing time right? Right??

Come on now BShark , I think you might be going over board just a tad---and befoer people say I'm a Martin lover ummmm- -- NO BUT , little harsh before a kid even hits the floor for the 1st time this season. The kid plays a grand total of TWO minuttes and probably ONE MINUTE of that was mop up time and yet your judging and say that those two minutes should decide whether he gets any quality minutes -- I'm not saying he should either but just sayin TWO whole minutes and he should be band for the rest of the season lol. -- Little harsh don't ya think

@justanotherfan rebounding will absolutely plague this team going forward. Good team but has warts.

The 7 man rotation having basically no true bigs is something I never thought I'd see from Self. Not much posting up in general either.

@jayballer67 He was bad. I would bet almost anything he won't be a factor for this team. If he could defend at all he could help but that is just not the case.

I'll be happy to own up to this if I am wrong and there is a "Cam Martin game" so to speak.

I still think Udeh and rice, maybe Zuby will get better!

Yup, No. 1 above sure is bothersome. more Rice! today would have been a great game for him to get some run, in that free flowing offense at times. his specialty i'm guessing.

Cam had his chance, but Self got scared when they trimmed the lead a bit. He didn't really get a chance to show us what he can or can't do.

Beat the spread with about 16:00 left in the first half. Never threatened again. 😀

Today was exhibit A on why you don't press a running team. KU destroyed Missouri's press tonight. The way you beat Kansas is get back on defense, pack the paint, guard Dick, and force KU to play half court offense in a rock fight.

KU cruised easily, but a couple issues to worry about for later in the season.

1. Self only trusts 7 guys on this roster, even in a blowout. Harris, Adams, McCullar, Dick, Wilson, Yesufu and Pettiford are the only guys Self is willing to give any run. We are vulnerable to injury or foul trouble because Self has set a tight seven man rotation. If we are healthy, we are fine, but if any of those 7 aren't available, that's trouble.

2. Lack of size is getting us beat up on the glass. Mizzou had 12 offensive boards. Irrelevant in a blowout, but without any size to go to off the bench, that is a continuing concern.

Great to blow out Mizzou (always). But KU has some things to sort out to prepare for March.

Yup, No. 1 above sure is bothersome. more Rice! today would have been a great game for him to get some run, in that free flowing offense at times. his specialty i'm guessing.

Cam had his chance, but Self got scared when they trimmed the lead a bit. He didn't really get a chance to show us what he can or can't do.

Odd take after a 29 point victory. So you think Self was "scared'? Really?

That was the point when Missouri got the lead under 15 and Cam had just given up an uncontested 3. He did not look like he belonged out there athletically. So I think Self was definitely a little nervous at that point because there was still more than enough for Missouri to come back with the momentum they had at that time. Bringing KJ and Harris back in is what stopped that run.

@jayballer67 He was bad. I would bet almost anything he won't be a factor for this team. If he could defend at all he could help but that is just not the case.

I'll be happy to own up to this if I am wrong and there is a "Cam Martin game" so to speak.

not really saying your wrong - -just saying that's pretty good to get all that out of a 2 minute on the floor time

This was more that my opinion was formed based on what I've heard and seen over time. I have been on record thinking he was not going to contribute from the start of this season. Would be nice if he could though.

I'm actually thinking we may never find a regular 5 this season .So oh no I'm not saying Cam for sure. I'm beginning to wonder if Coach doesn't use optional players for different situations. - -For sure using Kj for defensive purposes and lil scoring when feasible - -Zuby for rim and rebounding energy- - -Udeh for a lil score and rebounding and possibly for a few and I said a few minutes of Cam and Zach these two can stretch the floor -- pull bigs out because of possible outside shots. - Could be he just continues to use ALL of them in small doses. - with that many playing for sure be aggressive on the defensive end - -lots of fouls to give- -who knows for sure.

Right now even with his size problem hard to keep KJ out the way he is playing

Had tickets to Bulls-Mavericks so recorded the KU game which of course I see the score while wandering the United Center. The Bulls game sucked because Luka sat out with a Wilt never would have sat for that injury called a strained quadricep, although it didn't prevent him from playing til the end the night before against the Bucks. Even though the tickets were through my sons work, ie, free, I was still pretty pissed because i knew he wasn't hurt. Boringest NBA game in history. Dallas played 0 defense and Bulls went off for 144 points.

As for the KU game maybe I'll watch the recording, but don't have a great desire to do so since I know the result. Glad we kicked the crap out of those lowlifes between two great states. We've bounced back nicely after the Tennessee loss.

Juando cracks me up! Completely unfiltered honesty. Love it!!!

Didn't want to bother with making a thread about this so I'll put it here.

That Missouri team is one of the worst coached teams I have seen us play against this year. I only watched a bit of the end of their game against Wichita in addition to this so idk how indicative this has been for them overall but it felt like the Texas Southern game again only Missouri was somewhat more skilled but quite possibly less athletic. I went and looked, Gates had a 55.6 winning percentage at Cleveland State. Interesting hire.

Another thought is Kevin has been great the last two games. Was so smart to not bother playing him against Texas Southern.

McCullar coming alive has changed this team.

Game changer. Has had 17, 18, and 21 in 3 of his past 4 games. Can get you 8-10 boards a night, is a theft in passing lanes. Perfect player for this team. Find the corners for open 3's and cut to the basket for layups. Dude is trying to compete with Jalen for Alpha on this team and if you watch them two's chemistry together it's fun to watch

There was a lot of ridicule when he was hired because it didn't feel like they improved their coaching situation. I said above, yesterday was amazing from a coaching perspective because Missouri did everything you shouldn't do against this Kansas team. That was some of the worst game planning I've ever seen so I don't know which coach did the scouting report for KU, but that person sucks at the aspect of their job.

A few weeks ago, our critics/fans were calling for McCullar to be benched in favor of MJ Rice.

Self mentioned KJ reminds him of a young Draymond. Hefty praise but should let ya know what potential he thinks is there.

@Jethro

He did have some rough stretches early. He is really ascending now. I'm very impressed with him and his fit here.

Oh, anybody hear why Isaiah Mosley didn’t play? I was really hoping to see him play, see why we passed on him.

I do not recall any KU team in recent history that looks so much better when one player is on the court and likewise struggles when the same player in not playing.

That player to me is Juan.

I was fairly adamant that he would not continue to be that bad because it was even worse than he had been at Tech historically. Well now he is healthy and comfortable in the system and is far exceeding that. If we get around Texas Tech McCullar that helps a lot, if we get THIS McCullar we can hang with most.

KJ isn't terribly far behind either. Big drop off to any of the bench bigs just in terms of the offense being ran correctly. His improvement has been remarkable.

Boy the more the season goes on - - -Mercy if KJ was JUST a couple of inches taller. - -Really like the guy , so energetic - - -his height is the only thing holding him back. - -very mobile , can defend pretty well, with time gonna be able to score mor develop his shot some, we can't depend on him scoring like last night especially going against 6'9 - -6'10mobile 5's.

The kid just gets after it - -really like him , liking him more every game not afraid to get on the floor, -not afraid to play D- scores some - -MY Kingdom for 2 inches lol

OH WAIT I think I've said that before--like last night- - Oooops never mind cancel that out, that's a different situation never mind sorry lol

@BShark Happy Birthday Baby shark! I tried to add the song but I couldn't! 💙❤️🌾 Go Chiefs!❤️🎈🥳

Finally watching the game. Missouri was laughably bad. One hilarious pick and roll with DeJuan and KJ resulted in KJ dunking the ball with 2 tiggers standing there watching. Announcers trying to keep viewers interested with shouting things like "KU MISSED". "MISSOURI CUTS IT TO 19 POINTS". I learned their coach is a great coach according to the TV guy. As someone mentioned above that team is not any better than some of the directional schools we played.

Adams seized the moment and played a spectacular game.

Dick seems to have one 'unconscious' stretch every game.

Harris just plain boring. Steady, steady, distributing, guarding, setting up. KU ran one beautiful play where Jalen set a back pick for McCullar who was wide open at the line right in front of the KU bench. DeJuan pitched a beautiful pass clear across the court to the wide open MCCullar. To deliver a pass across the lane, the entire width of the court like that without it being tipped was just beautiful.

Jalen continues to write his name into KU lore with one great experience after another. It seems like it was a long time ago he committed to us after de-committing from Michigan and his early struggles to find meaningful minutes. He makes few mistakes and is shooting really well, something I think most of us wouldn't see.

I went back and checked my comments after Duke and it was as I remembered. That day I said our bench is thin. Others disagreed which is fine, I've been wrong before, but as noted above we're winning by 20 or more and our starters are out there in the final 2 minutes. I'm a bit concerned. Cam makes a uh, Cameo, (sorry too easy). Someone's going to have to step up, particularly a big.

Hearing the chant in Columbia is pretty cool.

Happy belated @BShark !

LL and his dad have another good video up talking about playing Misery. He has some nice insights:

That sucking sound is Mizery - they are so bad KU beating them by more than 20 points over the spread still drug Kansas down in the rankings. 😯
