We good.
PHOF!
Yea the Frogs are a 1.5 pt favorite, but Bill hates to get swept. And that second half display Saturday was freakin scary good. I’ll take the good guys in tonight’s matchup.
I wonder if we do the same thing we did the 2nd half defensively against Baylor.
Put Juan on Miles and Kev on Miller. No switching from those two and deny them the ball. Make someone else beat you.
RANT INCOMING
Now that Saturday is over and we have to turn the page so quickly I put all my rage on ESPN today.
They knew scheduling Baylor at home in mid-February on a Saturday would have some significance. Two best teams in the conference for a while now. Easy TV ratings.
They knew TCU was going to be good returning their entire team. That's why they got the Big Monday slot.
I believe they call this a "scheduled loss".
Hopefully the momentum this team is riding is enough.
Just listening to the radio today while scrolling sites. - -Pretty nice National media starting to talk about Ku & even repeat as National Champs. - -A month or so back I would of had y doubts on that but man, I'm telling you at times they have shown flash's of just insane crazy good - - gives me goose bumps when I see them play like that. Frustrating at times for sure, we can look so , so bad sometimes and then others - - - LOOK OUT -
Finding out that there just isn't purely dominant team this Season . - -Why not us ? - -I think w got just as much chance as the next guy. The one thing w got and National people talking about , were playing in the Best league - -HANDS DOWN - -not even close , KU has 13 Quad 1 wins - - FRICKEN THIRTEEN , every game we play can be a quad 1 win. - -If and again If we win out in Conference would be SEVENTEEN QUAD ONE WINS - how insane is that ? - This league is a meat grinder night in & night out.
Tonight's game is gonna be another. TCU Miles is back - -Lampkin is back - -it is going to be really rough. - The key tonight is , w have just got to take care of the ball no live turnovers. , Yet however and again being mentioned - I think it is a HUGE mistake if a team wants to get in a track meet with KU -- you wanna run - -let's run -there have been times Juan when we out and running just flat embarrassing guys crazy - -Turnovers is one thing but just rebounding the ball and go - -I'll take my chances with KU.
Here is my guess -I'm gonna say I think we have gotten better since the last time we have played them - -were do pay back -I'm just gonna say when the smoke clears - KU wins by 7 - - I see we are a 1 1/2 point underdog

CJ Moore's article in The Athletic quoted Self as saying they didn't start the game they way they played in the second half, because he didn't think they would have the energy to do it thee whole game. Thought that was interesting.
Little off topic but just curious , checked the rankings and see we are # 3. - -Just have a question & just curious -when we played Baylor Saturday we wre # 5 & Baylor was # 9 - -we beat them by 16 - -and they stay at # 9 - -Question is why didn't they drop ? - - -get beat by 17 and you stay right where you were at - -just curious that's all
I think for this game it will help that we got our ass kicked in AFH the first time in that it will make our players take the game more seriously. TCU is 24th this week in the AP Poll but I think they are a lot better than that with a healthy Miles and Lampkin.
If we can get this game tonight, it gives us a very good chance to at least split for a B12 title. After this, we have vs West Virginia, vs Texas Tech, and at Texas. Texas has vs Iowa St, at Baylor, at TCU, and vs Kansas.
Best thread title of all time.

Two players on bad wheels. Self was so confident we'd win, he chose to let them rest a bit first half. Not sure we can afford to do that with TCU.

The one thing is , if we can play Defense like we did in the 2nd half - - take care of the ball will help a lot. TCU is a terrible shooting team their % is not good. - -Take care of the ball defend tough and should be able to get big important win

Gotta say I’m nervous for the same reason. Just a BRUTAL turn around. Just keep trying to tell myself that TCU is on a quick turnaround too.
This team’s success is all about energy. They have the motivation for it after getting embarrassed at home but it is not an unlimited resource you can tap into whenever you want. Definitely expended a good amount of energy I. That second half on Saturday.
Winning this game would give me extreme confidence that this team will get to the second weekend. (I’m already pretty confident)
Juan must slow down Miles.
I hope team is fired up and has enough in the tank after Saturday's tough and emotional comeback.
I’m gambling on KU all but securing the B12 tonight and taking an alt line -1 for +120
I bet we get blessed with Frannie tonight. -I think I'll just turn the volume down and listen to Hanni - -not a favorite but still prefer him over Frannie
Their bench is what killed us in the first game. Believe Miles only had 9, we will start off switching everything I bet.
CS knows we can't go 40 playing defense like that. And as usual he is correct. It won't happen. But.. if you watch closely you'll notice that we don't actually have to. Middle 10 of the first half and first or middle 10 of the second half will be enough. If... They can do it for 20 against a great team. And break it up somewhat like that. We're golden.
I feel good about tonight. Let's make it happen.
Kinda stoked for this game. And I definitely know not to get too discouraged if we fall behind in the first half!
I know we're all excited but I'm still slightly skeptical. We got trounced for a half on Saturday. Certainly the 2nd half was breathtaking but it seems like this great team of ours still has some trouble putting together two solid halves of basketball. Some of the ESPN wants a big Monday upset scenario plays in the back of my mind as well, and of course TCU embarrassed us in our house a month ago and I'm still really taking a show me approach to 2022-23 version of the Jayhawks.
LFG
RockChalk ♥️💙🌾
Let's get it
Gut says we drop this one but never doubt Self’s ability to win late in the year.
God I hate this court
Ugh fran
whelp, turning the volume down again
Fran smh
@BeddieKU23 only thing worse would be Higgins 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
My dog can't stand Fran's voice either
Please don't do that to us
Bill looks tight. Not a good omen. Snap out of it!!! Lol
🐇
Lid on hoop
three shots rolling off the rim
still tied
Might be the first 0-0 game in history
Boom
correction, first 3-0 game in history
Gradey finally
Looks like CS elected to not switch to start. See how long we can do that. Missing baskets won't help
good thing we brought Gradey on the trip
Gradey 5. Frogs 0. Lol
Good Kev
TCU has the least knowledgeable fans in the B12 about BB. And that's saying something with ISU fans in the running. Just boo everything
gradey Is going to be such a good nba player
Damn.
It.
Wow that was lazy
KJ has to quit fouling so far from the basket
@wissox said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Might be the first 0-0 game in history
was beginning to wonder
CS will play the ole Jaybate theory lead management game here. Not switch and starters playing as long as we don't have a lead more than 5 plus or are down. Bench comes in and we play the switch otherwise. Buckle up for a nail biter folks
WVU beat up OSU
How many times they gonna remind us TCU blew us out?
At least we’re cleaning up on the glass
DICK
Another phantom foul?
Who was the foul on, fran
Can Dajuan just get his 4 points right away to assure the win?
Udeh hands again
@Crimsonorblue22 I think it was Udeh
Woohoo another Gradey 3!
Mr. Dick has come to play...
That’s a lotta dick 🤣
Great hustle KMC
we gotta grab those loose balls
Might have to rename the product Dick50 after tonite. Slick50 now a thing of the past
KU cant stop Dicking around
Gradey!
Bob
Out with BP
made up for it. good job bob
Ungodly pass
Udeh is going to be the b12 defensive player of the year one day
Ernest HANDS Udeh 👋
Bob gave us a nice lift last game, hope hes finding a groove
Wish Grady would of invited some others of the team to come play with him lol
My god Bobby that was about 6 feet wide left, maybe go kick extra points for the cowboys.
BP made up for the t.o. with the nice drive to the rim...
I'd just love to go to hole once against Udeh so I can see the result. Lol
Udeh might end up with more steals than blocks in his career, and he's going to be a hell of a shot blocker.
@cragarhawk I'd like to see it too!🤣
When God makes KU basketball players. He should give all of them Udeh's motor
If it's not an oop, he passes out.
TCU hasn't broke the 10 point mark in the first 9 minutes. don't think they're going to be dropping 100 tonite
HORRIBLE CALL
One sided officiating. Lambkin looked like he was boxing Jalen last time down the floor
Cmon JWill
Pretty sure he stepped on the baseline
Looked like he stepped out
the 100th time Gradey gets called for a foul by the ref behind him who can't see jack
2 on Gradey
Rebound
5-1 on foul count. This is becoming a thing
Anyone notice JWill getting bumped on his last made basket?
Fran pronounces Kevins name “Mccullah” every time. just another little slice of wtf from that guy
2 on Wilson and Dick. Not good
@wissox said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

they don't call that for wilson. He initiates a lot of contact, so...
In big foul trouble now

Sounds like a pay per view movie
Guess it's gonna be on of those games
....lopsided officiating
Fran doesn't even notice the officiating
Oof
wilson and dick on the bench will force Dujaun to get his 4 points
DaJuan needs to drive/shoot.
Love our offense right now
Offense way out of sinc defense is okay
Great cut
I’d prefer to not see KJ take that shot again this year.
small ball
Sweet
Boxing out increases your chances of a rebounding by a factor of 10
What do we call that play!?
Good things happen when Juan gets downhill
Hey we get to shoot a free throw
Stop the presses, they called a foul on TCU. (they probably don't use presses anymore)
saying a team has the lead with a one point lead in the first half seems kinda stupid
Buckle up folks
Can NOT play this stand there and see if the ball magically rims off into your hands game. Come on
My feed sucks it keeps cutting out when KU is driving. Perfect for the commercials though. lol
Got to agree with Hanni. - -Don't think we can afford to keep Wilson & Dick on the bench very long - -we have gotten kind of lucky so far but consistent scoring and size got to get one of them back in I would think
Honestly, TCU's defense is just really good. And it's that much better when they have a crowd behind them
Well we certainly got hit there for a bit but have responded. Crowd starting to get behind them
There seems to be an emphasis on keeping the ball alive on missed shots on the offensive end. We've had a lot of 2nd chance points in recent games.
Bench needs to step up

as long as we're hanging with TCU, I don't mind seeing them rest up for the second half
Foul on?
Surprised we are +1 on boards
This game is going to take a 40 minute effort. TCU is good.
Nice shot. Don't ever fuckin do it again
Oh Joe
Anyone can block Joes shot
Jeez Joe
The evolution of Bobby needs to include actually doing something with a ball screen
Lazy pass
Goal tend?
Stop the lazy passes, guys. I know this isn't the starting 5, but good lord
So dumb
You’re going to have to play guys with 2 fouls Bill. This lineup sucks too badly not to play one of Wilson or Dick
There we go again, 2nd chances
got him with the hand the other hand and the hip and the leg
Right cause he just fell
Brilliant. Put Jwill back in to foul their guys out
In reality this an elite 8 type game and it should be like this. But dammit I wanna win it. Lol
Whiney Lumpkin is here to cry
Decent abs
Wow these phantom fouls in our favor
5 missed bunnies
Sit mj you cannot miss that
2 on KJ, that one was earned. Rice has a chance and blows it.
@Crimsonorblue22 do you think they man scape each other lol
Rice jogging back cost KJ that foul too
Redic
Kevin?
Probably wouldn't be my defensive strategy but hell. I guess bold move cotton, let see how that plays out for ya
@DanR said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Rice jogging back cost KJ that foul too
And we see why he don't play
When everyone on the floor seems to have 2 fouls it's hard to play defense.
JWill never plays well against his former teammates
Ya so I guess let them have 3 pointers with nobody within 15 ft of them because of fouls
Love that effort by Harris!
Juan timely bucket as always
Udeh with 2 now. But why did the ref point our direction?
lost 70 pounds with about 50 to go
Omfg are you serious
two in a row from three from Kev going bak to ssaturday
Wow Kevin made that!
We forgot what rebounding was
@dylans said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Wow Kevin made that!
And fouled
Pistol Pete Dick
Like that play fran
Udeh
Pistol Dick? Oh that's nice right? Lol
Udeh all day
Beautiful
Udeh raises the ceiling of this team so much!
Keeping the crowd out is GOOD
Like rhymes
Lambkin has committed about 5 fouls this game that have not been called.
I'm having a girl tmrw! Gdaughter!

Little different game then it was at the Phog, taking care of the ball a little better, GOT to get Jalen going
@Crimsonorblue22 grats!
@Crimsonorblue22 how cool. Congrats!!
@cragarhawk There's a bunch of b&w Pistol Pete instruction videos, and I swear that move by Gradey was one of them
We are fine right here. Just keep it tight before half and don’t get anyone with 3. They getting a ton of calls imo. We should’ve had 4 or 5 and 1s.
@Crimsonorblue22 Congrats! Awesome fun. Is this your first? We just had our first before Christmas.
They can scheme for Gradey 2nd half and the rest of the team can score the next 52 pts, Id be fine with that
Re hair:
I would have never recognized Remy walking down the street
Jwil ain’t scoring but has 7 rebounds
Thx everyone! My youngest, his second, they have a boy that turns 2 on wed. My son in Lawrence has one of each.
Fuck
@RockChalkinTexas and glasses plus beard
Ernest you Dawg
Whatever Jalen get your head out your ass
Pissed away a great play by Udeh
Pissed away too many opportunities
DICK
Good grief that blond kid is fast
Jesus Gradey
Fran doing his best flasher tryout - Oooh! Look at Dick!!!
Pissed away too many opportunities only winning by 2
Brady Morningstar on the bench?
That comes from a LOT of practice franny
Harris got fouled
We’re getting mugged at the rim every time
Yesufu wtf
I feel like TCUs court is setting college basketball back a few decades. 80s bad
KEV
Kev came to play except for that one defensive mishap
Nice finish
WooHoo
Not bad
RCJH
Perfect
beautiful...lol
HUGE
Great way to end the half!
Come out on all cylinders first 10. Hugely important here
Wow Fran called him “Mccullar.” Guess he slipped out of character from the deep south period piece he thinks he’s starring in.
Bobby had great d on that missed miles jumper
Kev playing with real joy
Kevin’s block reminded me of a block during a middle school game where a 6ft kid swatted a 4’6” midget shooting a three. Lol puberty is weird.
Fast paced game, but not a ton of points
I fully expect Jalen to turn it on in the second half after a 2 foul, 2 TO, 2 pt. 8 RB first half.
Solid half
Hope they put Duke in our region
Listening to the game on Jayhawk radio, strange there’s hardly any delay this time. So nice to not have to listen Fran chinchilla
I think they ought to play shirts and skins 2nd half. We'll go skins so the official scorer will have to guess who the foul was called on and maybe we won't have any more foul trouble.
Fun fact: we shot 100% from the line in the first half.
Unfortunate truth. But kind of expected on the road. Gonna have to fight thru some bad or no calls
Defensively, I'm not sure we can do much better than that half. Gotta keep that up and hit some shots. 2-10 from three still kind of stinks.
@Jayblaze said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Less fun fact, TCU took 9 FTs to our 1 FT
@cragarhawk Need more depth to go 100% the entire 40 minutes I’m afraid.
@cragarhawk I half expect us to come out in total lockdown mode at the start of the half - passing lane and switch adjustments like against Baylor - and blow this thing open.
I’m honestly a little worried this conference is so tough we are wearing out a little
@stoptheflop yea refs are definitely giving home court calls. Just gotta play clean and tough I guess

Agree. What makes me nervous is that Miles and Baugh combined have just 8 points on 3-13 shooting. Not sure it's realistic to expect that to continue...
TCU bench killing us again: 12 pts so far.
We're doing a very solid containment defense so far. Not really a lot of ball pressure. That's one thing we know this team CAN do well. Give us 10 min solid contain and 10 min Heckle/ball pressure and we're good
TCU got 8 points off turnovers too, so that's not really on the D (although that rocking chair three is part of that 8 points I think)
Well it really wasn't the prettiest halves but hey were ahead and Jalen has scored 2 Hopefuly he gets it together the 2nd half
I wonder what KU's record is when Jalen only scores 2 in in the first half
Wilson for 12 more + bench for 10 more + 8-10 minutes of superD™ = Jayhawks win by 12
TCU shooting insane at AFH was the exception not the rule. They are the worst 3% team in the conference. Like BS always says you play 5 games insanely good and 5 terrible in a season, the rest is who you are.
The white Tshirts and Airball chants are getting to Jalen, no doubt. /sarcasm
20 something % Baugh. Sure

Flop city
Jalen forcing offense
Suck my?
Miles seems to get 3 pivot feet
Gradeys 4th tip?
@approxinfinity especially when he's not playing well
THE GRADEY DICK SHOW
Deep deep 3!
And one
Finally
Such a great lil hesitation on that
Pretty
We can create offense so fast.
Kev looks good tonight
Finally getting a whistle here
We still have possession arrow
KJ
We might be in trouble if Miles gets going
Kj having a good game too
No way. Nice strip Dajuan
Two teams playing at a pretty high level, IMO
@StLJhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Well, expect for a couple of really bad "passes"...
Foul caused the turnover
Bad passes
Gettin sloppy with the ball - - thats gonna kill you we keep that up. -- Jalen time to show something man
That looked clean
We are up 10 if we’d quit throwing it directly to them
They couldn't see it
@FarmerJayhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Might ? lol
Turnovers becoming an issue
We are passing predictably and their d is all over the usual passes
Miles and Baugh has 8 points total in the 1st half - 10 already this half...
I respect the heck out of miles but I'm tired of playing him
At least 4 fouls called by that ass ref who had no clear view of the play
I caught a cute little gecko today and put him outside of my She Shop🦎
Need Juan to get aggressive and/or Jwill
Would really like to see Bill run a play to get Jalen a look at 3. But I’m kind of scared he won’t shoot it… Guy seems shook
That was KJ in 8th grade, LOL. Same body.
Jalen come on man
good recovery, KJ
that'll get WIlson going
Wow wake the f up jalen
Finally got a call for JW
There you go Jalen
Finally
Surprised MJ is getting run
Like MJ as the sub a lot today. Bigger and athletic enough to compete with their guys
So many blocks both sides
Holy crap Juan
Terrific pass
Point God
Smokin DJ pass wow
Crazy pass
Good eyes Juan
Harris literally spoon feeding Rice to a hoop
that was pretty....
MJ having okay minutes here
@RockChalkinTexas creepy 🤪
What a needle threading, through the keyhole pass from our motor, our straw that stirs the drink
bout wet my britch's for just a minutte when Jalen when bulling down the lane - -but that was 100 % right call Baugh was not set at all
surprised that MJ didn't blow the layup
Just askin': why did self sit Jalen just as he might a been getting started?
Juan direction!!!!
Cause he's pressing
Cause he has 3 fouls and we need him down the stretch
Nice to see second stint of MJ. Hustling this time.
Half court offense looks whacked with Rice out there but if we're just running fast breaks he can't do any damage
Pushing the ball up the court - minimizes Lampkin and other TCU bigs on both ends...
I have always thought MJ just needed the help with skills because he's strong enough to hold his ground
Both teams just playing solid defense in the half court
good foul, KJ. Udeh has your back
Clean.
McCulla?
Ball
Again I’ve been fouled by Lampheads hair
Rebound the GD ball...
Haha Eddie
didn't see a foul there either
Get on the glass
Shaq
💩
Wow
One of the great injustices in America (NCAA version anyways) is that lambkin has zero fouls after bruising and bloodying various and sundry jayhawks all evening.
Big blockout miss on MJ there
Box the f out
Don’t need that
Great
Alright JWill. Time to be POTY
SCORE
Yeah. My hope is MJ isnt really needed this year and that he keeps working hard for year 2
Remarkable that Rice appears to have zero fundamental bball skills...
uDeh
When’s the last time we got Dick a good look?
Bad effort there
Dammit
Lamby was in the lane for a half an hour on that previous possession
Why is Harris out? Breather?
Ugh. We tried to go hard first 10 and it didn't yield. JWil forcing it. Idk
Got to get their Ass settled down , just wild and out of control
Rebounds and turnovers the Achilles’ heel of this team
NCAA officials never call 3 seconds.
Bobby is a buzz kill. I'm only saying that because every time I criticize him he does something great.
Your move, Bobby.
Good foul drawn by kev. Need him to make them
So many shots missed in the paint tonite. And so many possessions of not boxing out
@dylans said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Why is Harris out? Breather?
Tried to sneak him a break and use the under 12 to make it an extra break for him. Bet he’s back in after the break.
We are laboring and go figure Juan has 2 points

5/21 from the floor from Jwil, Juan and KJ honestly hard to believe we are winning. Buckle down fellas

Bad Juan bounced in the second roundWe are laboring but good battle with a team jacked to sweep us
I do not want TCU in our bracket. We like to play fast and they like to play faster.
Dammit Kev
Lol that jamie dixon cut out with articulating arms
Wow we are not getting in front of anyone
Still no Juan…nevermind
Harris, this is your 10 minutes to shine
Another missed layup
We have missed a pets stores worth of bunnies tonight.
Difference is TCU's bench production....
Dunk the damn ball
3 point shooting is just killing us
that's a game winner by Harris right there. 4 points.
dejuan has more than 3 points...we win!
🙌
4 on KJ
Don't jump, slide your feet
Did I say fuck? I feel like I should say fuck
I'm equally comfortable with Udeh in or KJ
OO DAY
I bank my FTs all the time.
UDEH
23💪
Don’t need J Will hero ball
Come on Wilson, finish those
Gotta make baskets fellas
Ball is sticky. Our guys look tired
Hanni saying stuff being thrown at KU on the floor.
Damn JW miss and frog 3, so many times
Much needed time out
Mercy what the hell is going on with Jalen
@DanR said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Come on Wilson, finish those
JW just does not drive into the defender's body. Always leaning away on the shot.
Pressing
Lots of contact on those rebounds on our defensive end. Hopefully they swallow whistles if we do same on other end
Will someone make a damn shot
Jwil is forcing it and it is not working,there are 4 otheer players on the floor, use them dammit
Got 1 lob Juan to Ernest and now they got way under
Shoot the wide open 3 Juan!!!!
Baugh is 28% from 3. Absolutely just making them
Jalen just missed so many and some easy really in his head now and really forcing things
15-9 foul count with the team that gets all the calls on the wrong end of that one. Pretty amazing a tough Jamie Dixon coached physical squad has only been called for 9 fouls.
@jessejayhawk he’s struggling tonight more than ever but dudes our stud so giving him a huge pass
He’s a winner and hope he makes plays these final 6 minutes
Has Gradey been on the bench all half or what?
Another 20% game from 3...
Refs will tighten up here always do late
Needed that
Kev keeping us in this
Our ball
go harris go
see the guy holding Jalen on that RB?
Harris has been awesome tonight
Mother effin juan!!!
two clueless OOB calls to TCU

We're looking poised here. Gotta keep it up
Make fts if we ever get a call

That was a double dribble. Big turned the ball over to hand it off then decided to dribblr again
1 and 1 wtf
Can’t buy a shot
could have been a dagger, dick
Was that not off his leg?
another phantom foul
Bs
Horse hockey
No ref. Don’t ruin this game
Omg
Lol at that call. They haven’t called that in the other end all night
Flop
Ref waited to see if it went in..
OK, shirt pull might have been a foul, but they didn't call that before the shot
Well we cannot go into OT. Would not be good
I tell ya. I'd love to give Fran a high five to face with my boot

Defensive play of the game!!

Just make 1 J Will
Clock issue?
Come on j will
@cragarhawk I would rather see Dick do it to his mouth
Like Fran needed to know anything, ref
I think this TCU team makes a nice run in th tourney.
Not a lot of teams that will be able to run with them. Their Achilles Heel is just that they are a bunch of brick masons.
Will be 2 front ends. Make FTs and we win...
Gotta make the first one.

Yep. Very predictable after an emotional game + short rest. Great to see them tough it out. Self playing the bench like you said and tough defense.
Jwil has to stop worrying about not getting calls all the time he probably should’ve shot 6-8 free ones tonight. He did rebound great tho
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
We will take this one and the road wins adding up.
What a gutsy win
Team might be peaking at the right time with Udeh getting backup minutes and effecting games
Need UT loss and we hold serve at home and at UT gonna be for outright!
The next 2 home games feel like trap games but we have all week to rest now
Idk what TCU has for offensive efficiency numbers. I'm guess it's pretty good with Miles. That being the number 1 efficient offense and whatever TCU is in 3 days. This defense is starting to get stout and CS hasn't even pulled out the tricks yet Bois and gurls
Would love to see Houston drop one. Want that 1 seed in the Midwest
If we win the Big 12 outright and make the tourney title game we'll be the number 1 over all against the number 1 schedule in the country. You can book that
OMG
On such short rest too. Defense was the key.
Hustle and grind got us far.
Defense won this one on a night we missed a bunch of shots. Fixed the second chance points in the second half.
Big game for Kevin. I'll take an ugly win for sure.
We have a great chance to get at least a share of the B12 title now.

@UT is for the outright title for KU no matter what UT dies if KU holds serve the next two games.
Now all we need is for ISU to beat UT tomorrow night.
Listening to ESPN we have for sure got Sean F as a believer, he saying that there really is not dominant team this year and that KU is s good as anybody. - -Saying Ku just picked up 14th quad win and he says his question to the committe is you talking about Ku being a # 1 seed - his quesion the the committee is why is KU NOT THE # 1 OVERALL SEED
Just do what the man said now. Hold serve at home. UT will lose atleast 1 game still. And then we go for bonus loot in Austin to cap it

Gradey and JW on the bench early with fouls- kev kept us going. Great body language and great D all game, especially that last possession, fighting for ball as he did all night.
KJ had some mistakes but played so tough all night.
Udeh and those hands.
Gradey locked in the first half.
JW couldn’t buy a bucket but a rebound machine.
Can’t wait for the next few games. And a Texas loss!
@RockChalkinTexas said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Texas has a bear of a schedule. They play the Clones, Baylor, Tcu, and then us. We could be 2 games ahead when we play them.
Held Miles and Baugh to a combined 8 for 30. 27% = damn good defense
Wasn't to far off on my prediction I said like 7 point win
If we are playing our tough defense and are shooting 50% you better be able to avoid turnovers or we will win.
@kjayhawks said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Texas has ISU, @Baylor, @ TCU and us. That a damn rough last 4 games.
Texas has an absolutely brutal closing stretch.
CS still cares about the league. Look for us to win the next two home games. But not in complete blowouts. This is the only stretch where we can maybe get a lil rest, get a lil healing, get some more bench minutes, and not have to be our absolute best to do it.
@jessejayhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Dam didn't realize they shot that poor but that's awesome - -we didn't exactly scorch the netts - -Wilson had a really bad night but did a monster job on the boards with 13 so he did contribute.
KJ was uncharacteristically sloppy tonight. Glad that Udeh is coming along, kinda wish he would’ve had a couple more minutes tonight.
@RockChalkinTexas said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

I think Saturday is the best shot at UT losing one of their next 3 games since it's in Waco.
Udeh has been playing quality minutes, getting A LOT of deflections THAT IS CONTRIBUTION little things to help - he is progressing for sure

Self won't rest players if the game isn't a blowout. I'd expect KU to try and build big leads really quickly to try and play some more bench minutes.

Kenpom has TCU at 49 in adjusted O. I gotta believe that number improves greatly if you remove the Sans Miles games

He says stuff like that every year. He won't rest them during the regular season unless the games are blowouts. The Big 12 tournament is where Self has historically given players more rest because he couldn't care less about winning the Big 12 tournament.
KU got a little lucky tonight as well because TCU was only 13-21 from the FT line tonight.
Reckon we'll see. That's not the context I got from it. And in years past I felt he sounded off caring more about the league race first. Not the impression I've gotten here overall
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, but I hate to say it, I never really thought Jalen was going to be a professional even with this years strong showing.
@Texas-Hawk-10 that and at tcu
I think Baylor losing tomorrow helps and then they are fired up not to lose 3 in a row with Texas at home
Tcu lost a tough one in Austin - they matchup well with Texas I could see 2 losses for UT before we play them
Gradey has the funky town tshirt on

He absolutely cares about winning the regular season title and in years past has cared about it to the point of being detrimental to player development during the season, including at times this season.
@wissox said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, but I hate to say it, I never really thought Jalen was going to be a professional even with this years strong showing.
Jalen will get his shot in the NBA. He's helped his stock enough this year that he could sneak into the late 1st round. Most mocks have him in the 25-35 range. I've said even since he signed that I didn't think he's athletic enough to stick in the NBA. He's never been a great defender or shooter (now under 35% from 3 this season) and is a below average athlete for his position. He does get shut down by athletic 4's he'll see plenty of in the NBA.
His positives are that he's not afraid of the moment and has always been willing to take the last shot, he can drive and play through contact, and he's an above average rebounder. Those are attributes that with the right team and system, could get him 15 mpg in the NBA.
Long term, I don't see him sticking past his rookie contract before ending up in the G-League and then overseas where I think he'll have a chance to be a star in a top Euro league like Spain or Greece.
Tough win!
I qualify this game as BAD BALL... really only because we missed out on so much offense. Missed bunnies... our balls stolen and scored on... some poor defensive rebounding.
This definitely wasn't like the second half of the Baylor game, but in the end... we won! We couldn't put them away late, so we just shut them down!
We are fortunate that TCU is not a good half-court offensive team, and poor from trey, but we did play with good energy and it was wise for Self to keep Juan on Miles.
This was a game I circled to tell us if we are ready to win out. We are! Not saying we will... but we could and we should!
Nice to hear media talking like KU is capable of repeating. I've said it all year.
RCJH!

U-G-L-Y! But we'll take it, right?
Anyway, very happy to pick up a road win. that helps, a lot.
That certainly wasn't pretty for either team. Defense! The perfect Self game?
I never really felt that TCU was a real threat tonight. Wasn't really sweating it, despite the score.
The challenge was simply being able to make a basket or two. Lid was closed for Jalen tonight. He was even forcing it a lot (offensive charge).
A bit surprising we won if you look at the individual play in the boxscore. If we win, and Jalen only has 7, i sure expect to see Dajuan with 12 or so. not tonight. I guess Kevin came through as our secondary scorer behind Gradey.
I only look at boxscores from KU games, so hard to say how sustainable it will be playing only 6 guys in double digit minutes. TCU played 8 guys in double digit minutes. Do other teams only play just 6 guys, too? Jalen sure didn't seem himself. Tired?
Way to go Hawks. We're still in the race for first place! Rock Chalk!

Fran actually talked about this during the game. KU is near the bottom nationally in bench minutes played and TCU is near the top nationally in bench minutes played.
@rockchalkjayhawk remember, tv Timeouts in the tournament are longer, bench minutes are mostly useful for foul situations not fatigue.
Fran, Mike miles is no comparison to Patrick mahomes! Zero! So stop!
Love this alpha move by Juan:
PG Dajuan Harris with the game ball. TCU took it from Lawrence and posted it on social media & KU was determined to get it back tonight. Asked if getting the win or the ball was better, Harris said, “Both.”

I thought(hoped) the NCAA had outlawed props behind the basket because we haven't seen those for awhile. The best was the gorilla at OU. The second best was the person behind the shower curtain that I think was AZ St. But, I think its poor sportsmanship because where do you draw the line? Lazers, etc. KU sure missed FTs at the end that could have cost us the game.

Ernest Udeh now has the KU record for consecutive field goals made without a miss, multiple games. He's now at 20 straight FG's without a miss. He is tied right now for the Big-12 record. Crazy!
@BeddieKU23 Wow! I wonder if Fran noticed that?

@drgnslayr Curious if you equate any of the above pettiness with the development of a chip? I don't think it's exactly the same but seems at least chip adjacent. What do you think?

Thinking about the Chiefs and Kelce... seems like everything bothered them and gave them chip. I think they went looking for drama to help them build a chip. Hey... it worked!
