We good. Ain't losin on JWill's SR night.

McCullar too, going against his former team.

When was last time KU lost on Senior night?

Like 40 years ago.

The streak is 39, hopefully to be 40

@BShark 50

@BShark we good

I keep thinking this is going to be a fun one. Would love to see a dominant performance

@BShark please explain the game thread title

Red unis tonight, "reverse retro"

@dylans said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

@BShark please explain the game thread title

A bit of a deep cut at this point

After KU beat Tech by 58 in 2008 Pat Knight said “I feel like someone put a meat necklace around my neck and threw me in a lions den"

Y'all have fun tonight, I'll be watching Christian Braun in person tonight.

LFG.. SENIOR NIGHT

RockChalk ❤💙

Guess Duke winning helps our resume lol

@BeddieKU23 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Guess Duke winning helps our resume lol

It's a push - we played and beat both...

Let's go boys

We get Blanks?? Shaaaat

Hahahaha

I loathe the reds... Can't lie

I have a red keith langford jersey

Omg Higgins too

Atta boy Juan!

More active defensively early here than I anticipated

4 bricks!

Jeez Jalen is still icy

D!

Nice d but we need to make something

pretty slow start - -kinda sloppy

Gradey blocking everything

Want Kevin to do better than last time

That’s one (whale sighting) @Jethro

No KU players even inside the arc to RB on most possessions

Final score 4 to 2 ???????

This house-building needs to stop

Coming out firing but not hitting

Senior night jitters

Kev is definitely in my top 5 of transfers...

Its the reds... I'm telling ya. Lol

Dtae won in them

0 fer 5 from three and only down 1

You don't let someone else wear white in your building. Goddamit

The red turned us into Tech

all right, jokes aside, put the ball in the hole

Way to go KJ. Just make a play

Lid on

We're 0 for the century here and still in the game. Maybe it's okay?

No wonder I felt like I was talking to myself. Everyone is over here, so all of you go over to the jalen last home game thread and read all my comments there so you know what's going on.

Omg can we shoot like at all

Udeh is so smart beyond his year kicking that out

Yes!

Blow it off Udeh

Udeh is a big man

There is Udeh - - AGAIN - -extra effort keeping the ball alive and kick out

@DanR he’s not JoJo because nobody is JoJo but the pace of his growth is jarring like that

More to the game than shooting. Do the other things til the shooting averages out

Every score on the main banner on ESPN is of games between ranked teams, but they make one exception for Duke.

@cragarhawk fundamentals and defense

Yes getting the lid off the basket as we all predicted

@wissox Duke made 15 more free throws than NC state shot. Now that’s home cookin’!

I mean they talk about Damian Lilliard while we're shooting FTs and we can't see the FTs?

What the actual F with our shooting

Wtf

10 3 pointers in 9 minutes

Dang this is some ugly shooting

Yes, no no

No

Dats de Jaun

Juando

Finally

attacking udeh's weakness launching airballs from three

Need a bucket at the right time? Get you Juan

That was even kinda guarded, I'll take it

I am a big fan of Dajuan Harris

Alright. Now do we go lead management or step on the throat? Stay tuned

Aimaq has 9 rebound for TxTech. Our team has 8. We need to hit the boards.

jeezus stop jacking threes and get in the paint

Redic

Um maybe we should try to get the ball inside fellas

Has anybody on the team eve heard of driving the ball ? - What the hell is the deal when every time down someone wanting to jack a three ?

@kjayhawks said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Um maybe we should try to get the ball inside fellas

ya think

I'm sure they r being reminded, RIGHT NOW!

@jayballer67

They are deliberately packing the lane, sliding a 2nd defender on any ball handler

@jayballer67 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Has anybody on the team eve heard of driving the ball ? - What the hell is the deal when every time down someone wanting to jack a three ?

And, all quick shots early in the shot clock. Not running anything...

Need to make them play D, get ball to 3 sides!

They don't seem to be playing a traditional man to man.

they are packing the lane but we're scoring easily inside

@DanR wut?

He needed that

@cragarhawk KJ, Harris, Kev all have layups ?

@Crimsonorblue22 showing off for Mom

@DanR gonna say the percentage does not suggest that's real

2nd half gradey today

Gotta make that KJ

He's lost his throw touch

First 15 minutes of this one will be erased from all KU archives immediately after the horn sounds for halftime

Kevin!

KJ impacting on both ends

Pretty sure Kevin should always pretend it's senior nite

4-17 from three 6-11 from 2. Get it inside

I don't understand

Nice feed

Wilson makes me dizzy.

What’s the record for combined 3 point misses in a half. Asking for a friend

Juan tied (#8) Sherron for # of steals

145

Mario has most

283!!

Good movie if u got that commercial

Lol , anybody have any idea's on what they think Coach is gonna say to the guys at half ? - -I got one work the ball inside whether KJ scores or not got to get touchs for better looks. - - 17 three point attempts in the 1st half

Keep shooting. Shoot your way into make some... We're gonna require that here n a bit, I promise

I think Self is just laughing saying keep up the D fellas

Get some O boards

Secondary goal of this game other than the win is to get udeh the scoring streak record with some easy lobs

17 3pt attempts so far in the first half. More than we take in many games...

This espn crew thinks Tech likes ugly ball more than Bill Self. LOL

💋

Zone yes pls

Hahahaha

shoot some freethrows on those off days, fellas.

Relaxy half coming up. We'll need to score much better

@DanR brother!

Stop calling it Phog Allen you dolt.

Ref alert

Can Wilson make anything but a layup

@wissox they do it all the time,🤬

@Crimsonorblue22 I know!

We won't hold them to 21 second half. But they likely won't hold us to 30. So there's that

So maybe all the ridicule of Spatola got us Blanks 🤦‍♀️

well, 1 of 10 from three is worse than 4 of 17, and that's the diff

IDK, I think we're happy with giving up only 21 points in the first half. Because defense matters

If we hold them to 21 again I’m fine with that

@jayballer67 At least we hit 4. TTU only 1-11 from 3.

What hurts is we are getting good looks from 3, just not making them

@wissox said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Stop calling it Phog Allen you dolt.

Yeah those morons left out “Historic” 😂

Why the hell was half the champ week commercial KSU highlights?

GD 0 points. Not my favorite stat

2nd half gradey!

Just win baby.

@BShark u there? Baby!

Could say an experiment in muddy ball. But it's not that. Just not hitting shots. Lol

Last game at Allen for Gradey? 0 pts so far. Maybe he's trying to lower his draft status just for us.

Tennessee dude reminded me of the nova player.

@Crimsonorblue22 Nope, relaxing at home.

@jessejayhawk said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

I don't recall more shots rimming out for us like the first half

Maybe better luck next half for both sides. Usually how those things tend to go.

That was a hard fought half and we didn't land many haymakers.

Nobody has >1 foul. Only 2 turnovers. We had 3 block and 4 steals. Could be worse.

Glad that Kevin is showing well against TT,

@tundrahok said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

You picked the petunias out of the onion patch. Nice.

We just haven't been shooting the ball that well lately. Got to break out of that, wrong time of year for that. Some players worse then others - -Jalen - -Grady- - -still have confidence though they gonna bust loose big soon.

Teams starting to really focus on Grady & Jalen and leave KJ and Juan- - -say ing those two got to beat us not Jalen or Grady - -we got this

@tundrahok said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Nobody has >1 foul. Only 2 turnovers. We had 3 block and 4 steals. Could be worse.

Pretty refreshing game in that regard. Letting them play.

@jayballer67 actually shot fine against WVU... 50% from 3. 55% overall. I think we'll still hit that overall tonight... looks worse when missing open threes I think

Lance Blanks on senior night :face_vomiting:

@Zabudda said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Glad that Kevin is showing well against TT,

Kevin is also second in the Big 12 in double-doubles. Jalen is first. That's pretty cool.

Lol shooting foul

Not the shot we want Kev taking

Dick cannot hit Dick

Omg

Come on, Gradey. If you're scoreless you gotta come back and fix it next year

Putrid from Gradey tonight.

Not sure if allowing 9 in 2 minutes was part of the half time adjustment

Why would you make a layup

If we’re going to have a league game where we can’t throw it in the ocean this would be it

@FarmerJayhawk we had that game. Cough TCU

Game

lol Lance, this game is not relevant for Gradey's NBA stock

@cragarhawk Ope I memory holed that one

nice play by tech on that reverse jam

@FarmerJayhawk ha. Don't blame ya

Good feed

Nice pass JW

Juan is silly

Dejuan!

Juandoooo

Juan is such a HUGE PIECE for this team

Damn, he makes it look so easy

Glad he’s coming back

@StLJhawk said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Glad he’s coming back

Two more years what a blessing.

Whenever DaJuan plays well that one guy never comments

What would Juando do if coach said, you gotta go score 30 tonight. Probably score 31.

Number Jaun?

@cragarhawk ha! That’s awesome

With Juan's lengthy arms he doesn't have to jump so high...he soars to the bucket

Giving up 15 points in 5 minutes compared to 21 in 20 kinda stinks. But at least it doesn’t look like a 1986 big East game anymore.

There's not a Hole in Juan's.....game

@FarmerJayhawk said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

oh ya lots of action in those ten seconds lol. The players need a break

@BShark for sure I don’t mind either way as long as we win

@BShark Lots of time to think of Juan puns, oh wait, I think I've thought of Juan

It's not Fran, Vitale, or Walton so it's gotta be decent

oh I know buddy just joking around cause of some from here awhile back

@cragarhawk Vitale and Walton together would be mind blowing. We've got to make that happen for the Texas game Saturday.

I have Fran fatigue. No more please.

Juan’s favorite band? Juan direction! To the hoop!!

Id take Fran over a barrel in an alley and paddle his ass. That's about all I'd take him over

Really? Guess I haven’t been listening too much

So Texas sports aren't so boastful after loss and having to go TO TCU

@wissox I'll literally mute it. If I never hear Walton again it'll be too soon

I suppose I don't dislike Fran as much as most. He is not my favorite by any means.

OK guys, enough toying around with these raiders

Jeez still icy

Too many shots for Kevin.

@cragarhawk I love listening to Walton. Of course I'm not a serious professor of basketball like you are so I can handle it.

udeh da man

OO DAY

Finally a bench player comes in.

@wissox I'm definitely not that. But his "conference of champions" rhetoric makes me wanna stab my ears with a hot fireplace poker

finesse move off the glass by udeh

I wish I didn't have to keep reading Patrick Kane traded to Rangers on the bottom of the screen all game long.

@cragarhawk Oh, if you ever do that, take video!

@wissox that would make me look quite talented. Phone in one hand , poker in the other. Right? Lol

0-6 Gradey ouch

Mercy Grady really struggling

Still can’t get over we are wearing red as we play red raiders

GD. G...D...

A few weeks ago Udeh had us all thinking he was the 2nd coming of Doke, but he hasn't done much since.

Should be up 20

Maybe the pressure of senior freshman night getting to Gradey. Appreciate Kevs swag

@StLJhawk said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

At least 10 honestly.

This is why I never say positive stuff on guys. My apologies for jinxing Gradey

Only 10mpg last 5.

We're gonna need GD to be a pressure player. It's imperative. Come on kid

@wissox said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Jeezus

Garbage foul call

@BeddieKU23 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

@wissox

Only 10mpg last 5.

Yeah he's been fine when he actually gets in.

We really should stop letting these guys hang around

@approxinfinity damn. Did I really convey that? Certainly don't expect perfection. What I love most about this game is nobody has ever played a perfect one

Are you fn kidding me

pfffft

How is that a foul

Udeh picks up such horrible calls. This happens too often to be coincidence.

@BeddieKU23 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

How is that a foul

Well, it's not

@cragarhawk just to Dans point he has been pretty consistently good all year

Just careless

Bullshit kj

If anything in the NCAA'S does us in - - it's gonna be our rebounding

Self....what the fuck is going on

@approxinfinity Gradey? Ya for sure. But to my point the pressure part of the year is only beginning. I think he usually eats it up tho, so hopefully we'll see that

Coach not happy with him there... Yikes

Watching

Same gradey. How do you not get that board, soft

@DanR Yeah, just looked at his game log. You're right. WVU game he did little and today not much, but productive before that. His consecutive shot made streak is still alive. Last miss was in November.

@cragarhawk good thought about this being pressure season.

Self is irate and I don’t blame him not reason this isn’t a 15 point game. @jayballer67 yes rebounds major issue

awesome pass

Big bucket

Post covid truth bombs from Self. No hand over mouth.

Wilson is running out of chances to dunk one in the fieldhouse

Half man half zone

Box and 1

time out as the tech player is rolling all over the floor, OK

Wow Gradey forcing it now

@Crimsonorblue22 opening the playbook for a long stretch attempt

Omg

no foul there ref, just move on

Higgins ofc

Just quit ref

kj with the exclamation point

Can we decline the penalty?

Jeez that play was a thing of beauty, then that horrid call

Should be an and one

@approxinfinity Wilson didn't get fouled, it was Harris

Dunked the ball too hard, what was the review for?

Warning?

@wissox but they were simultaneous

FFS

Check clock

Wow if there was ever a cylinder call

How can wilson travel with Kev's hand all over that ball. BS

Omg

Higgins gtfo

This is so comical

Wow, what was I saying about the officials earlier? Ack

Time for Dick to show his game. He can't settle for this handprint can he?

Higgins basket there

stupid shit makeup all on top of all of that nonsense. Yuck

Higgins on a bender tonight

@BShark said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Higgins on a bender tonight

Had to meet his quota

Went off his leg he did throw it out

@StLJhawk said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Wow, what was I saying about the officials earlier? Ack

Jinx

@BShark Hahahah. @kjayhawks "what are you, drunk?"

@approxinfinity Yes. I'm gonna defend the refs there, kind of a tough call to make because Harris was fouled before Wilson shot. I've never heard that there's guidance in the rule book on how to rule an off ball foul while another guy is shooting.

@BShark He did UCLA game Sunday. He didn't work Big 12 Saturday

Rewound to see that KJ dunk again. Holy shit, that was a throw down!

@cragarhawk fair question tonight

@kjayhawks it was that day too!!! Lol

@DanR warned us about touching ball after it comes thru the net. But that was wrong

I just called Lawrence PD to report Gradey Dick as missing

Gradey tonight

I'm about ready for our crowd to chant "you suck Dick" so he will get mad and play better

Here’s a ref forum where they debate this… its at least debatable:

https://forum.officiating.com/basketball/102063-made-shot-simultaneous-off-ball-foul.html ↗

Who is looking like the better team?

@approxinfinity Thanks, I'll have to read it later!

As usual another foul.

Dick has only missed shots but otherwise has been OK, IMO

Juan just drawing up stuff on the fly. Casual.

Awesome!

21 JW warming up

Kev's inspector gadget arms again

I don't think the home fans are going to get free pizza tonight for the Jayhawks scoring 100.

offensive possessions starting to count, guys. Get some points.

You can't do that

Great set by Self when we needed a bucket there. KJ please make them.

Not to be disrespectful but T Techs coach just doesn't look like a BB coach, maybe a philosophy Prof

DICK DICK DICK

DJ!

@jessejayhawk I'm a school teacher who looks like a basketball coach.

Again, too many Kev shots lmao

Wtf!!

Jeez. Tech’s whole offense is run to the hoop and make them call it

@wissox I'm an engineer who looks like a dumass

DJ clocked that guy good

I'm a dumbass that looks like a dumbass

Put the ball in the basket Chief.

Frustrating.

Just like in Cuckoo's Nest

@cragarhawk Welcome to the group

Lob to Gradey anyone 🤷🏻‍♂️

@jessejayhawk know thyself. Lol

@FarmerJayhawk

Well Higgins is a sucker so it's auto

@cragarhawk 🤠🤡🤖

I figure we dick around(pun intended tonite) and stretch this to 8-10 at the finish.

Watch Dick end up making the last 10 points

Oh... Could be a Dick sighting

GD 🙏

He's clearly nervous tonight lol

Oh that's a relief, I was thinking we'd never get to see Mr. and Mrs. Dick on the screen tonight.

@BShark needs more seasoning

The lovers Dick?

Kev and his deflections again

@cragarhawk would that be public exposure

Great effort KJ

@jessejayhawk so far today, not enough evidence to convict

@cragarhawk No bail either

is there an audience for great D, clutch boards, and old man layups in the NBA? If so, JWill has a golden ticket.

Udeh time

Aimaq has good hands

Dang

Told ya guys these two home games would be close... But you're a bunch of cowboys... Lol. Jk

No 3's

J will refuses to make a 3

@approxinfinity and about 6” on KJ

@DanR said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Udeh time

Yeah KJ has nothing for Aimaq but Bill won't do it.

Watch we blow UT out of their own gym hard

Let’s just not shoot anymore 3s guys.

No hero ball

@BShark I know

@kjayhawks unless they make them

Fork

Hold em

What else is new another miss

trust the guys you trust at this point

Foul. Ugg

This isn’t good

Huge miss

Yay

Ah hell

Boo

More tech garbage offense

gotta score on our possessions, guys

OMg

Miss these

That's the shot we get

Lol artsy miss

There's so many mid majors out there who play no one who will get in the tournament and this stout TTech team will not be allowed to play. It's a shame.

KeV!!

KEV

Yessir

Kev you da man!

Yes Kevin!

1K evin

Kevin may have just won it for us with hustle

Wow kev

Mite guard them here....

DE FENCE

OMG

Appreciated the no whistle on that

I wonder how far you can boot a loose ball withoit a call.

@DanR only saw 6 fouls

Looks like the Jump Around in Madison

J WILL

Juando

Boom, Over... probably maybe

I hope we don't play anyone good in the first 6 games of the tournament

@cragarhawk PHOF!!

Shades of Trey Burke

@cragarhawk We won't play anyone as good as any other team in the Big 12

Only bad play by Juan all night, couldve held for several seconds

Easy layup or throws

@kjayhawks yeah i think we could have ran it out or close to it

Hard not to take the easy basket

B12 Champs again.

Game!!!

Woo Hoo

@wissox might be right. It's up to the league imo to prove that tho

@BShark never mention that name in my presence

No tie with KSuck possible now. Thank god.

JWill and Kev both played great!

We blow out UT on Saturday. You heard it hear first folks

Jalen Only played 2 games a freshman. Feels a little like all 3 are leaving us early.

@approxinfinity he broke his leg though

@BShark said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

No tie with KSuck possible now. Thank god.

Or Failor

40 straight senior night victories in a row. Thought the law of averages may get us there for a second (not really) Truly amazing. We got some ugly wins outta the way here in February.

Post game is on espn+ if you wanna hear senior speeches

@BShark nice!

Pushed us to the brink and we didn't give an inch. Kudos to them.

Tough D on both sides. JW manned up, senior night streak continues, B12 winners, no injuries, and good guys win again

Hats off to Tech. Really good team.

@wissox said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Hats off to Tech. Really good team.

Their record shows how nuts the league is. If they do miss the tournament, that Ohio State loss is a really bad one for them.

Rock chalk!

ANOTHER t shirt for my collection!

Hard to imagine Kev as a 4-year Jayhawk... not sure how he would have fit in the past 3 years... but he's by far the best senior transfer we've had

Ok , got a question - now don't come all unglued just an innocent question just wondering , and that is - - - -- -

On the last play with Jalen and end up forcing that wild ass shot that missed - -BUT on that play when Jalen was moving backwards to the basket - - Did he Travel ? - look a little to me that he might have - -just curious guys

Texas Tech is the best 14 loss team I’ve ever seen. Hands down

I saw that

Gutsy FT's from Gradey.

@jayballer67 he travels all the time

@kjayhawks they had a lot of injuries, that big guy was out when we played them the first time. Another guy too, I think

@jayballer67 I don’t think he had possession of the ball at that point. He was fouled to begin with so if he did both got a break on a call.

Wonder what's going thru Gradeys mind?

His parents have all those Gradey shirts..... what to do?

@DanR said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

@jayballer67 he travels all the time

Probably more often then called-- -- -just kind of looked like when he was bullying his way in , he might of took extra steps - - hell I dunno - - glad it wasn't could

Speeches upcoming. Cryin time again....

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Yeah Tech tried to rush Aimaq back too. Can see why, he's been a game changer. But he almost quit over it.

how often is a travel actually called these days? if it doesn't really affect a play, they let it go. Same with carrying the ball. I've long since given up on that

@cragarhawk said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Speeches upcoming. Cryin time again....

Jalen's is gonna be insane. Dajuan in 2 years will require an entire box of kleenex.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Wonder what's going thru Gradeys mind?

Motivation...?

If anyone feels guilty about a travel look at the one where he got smacked right in the face and they called a travel or just watch Tyler Hansbough do the shuffle every time he caught it for 4 years.

Holy shit, there was a highlight of JWill dunking. I'm going to go cry now.

Kevin got 1000th pt tonight

Shirts r nice!

KEv <3

@BShark OSU is strange. Still kind of high in the computers and playing a little better lately but only 12-17 and Buckeye fans are ready for a change after a decade of Thad Matta recruiting at a high level and making FF's.

Kev, Jayhawk forever

Everybody good?😥 these kill me. When self sheds tears, Jamari, dtae, and Frank! What he means to those kids! Not everybody knows what all Juan has gone thru. To soon.

JWil...

Billy got a little weepy during Jalen’s and he wasn’t the only one

Yeah. That was epic

I hope j will gets big 12 poy. I'm sad. I always miss these guys. Juan will tear my heart out!

There's always at least one guy per team to keep that KU tradition rolling... Had a couple thin years but guys like Mitch and Garrett kept the blood flowing I guess. Wilson's attitude will probably flow into the young dudes now like Udeh, Adams etc. plus Juando....

40 straight senior night wins. Just Crazy...

Fun fact. If we win out, Bill will pass Phog.

Impressed that J Wil is so composed. Great speech.

That was a "just win, baby" win. I get the feeling Texas is going to gift us tonight. K-State and Baylor both eliminated from the conference race last night.

BTW, Devonte Graham started the modern red jersey thing for senior night. Love those jerseys!

Win a championship, lose a bunch of studs and do it all over again. It's amazing

Love the red too!

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Meat Necklace Game Thread:

Love the red too!

The uniforms last night??!

!alt text ↗

@BShark you! No like CRIMSON? 😳🤬😱🫢😰

@BShark I always think the reds are better in theory than in reality. Like, they look good on the hanger but something about red in the field house feels wrong. Feel like they should be a non con away/neutral court game in November/December thing.

Yeah the players like them, which is all that ultimately matters.

@benshawks08 very confusing to cheer for the guys in the red uniforms in AFH.

Red is better than gray. They also had to make up for those butt ugly Helms P.E. unis.

@BShark especially when you're playing a red team. But we're crimson, not red! I thought they were really sharp! Self doesn't like red, superstition, I think. I also think it's cool we celebrate all the different traditions.

The players who like the red (crimson) unis weren't born in 1986, when we wore them and lost to Duke in the Final 4. I haven't liked them since then. Bad memories. We had a phenomenal team, should have won it all. Must have been the unis!

@tundrahok we broke that jinx! I'm superstitious too!

@tundrahok I remember that. But, I think Bill actually likes them. Here is he saying, " gee I really like those new red uniforms":

Took down my #Chiefs flag yesterday morning and raised my NATTY flag. I'm sure that is what brought us the win!!!

@RockChalkinTexas

Thanks for playing your part!

Hanni & Gurly brought this up post game last night - -weird year - -Stating that the teams widely considered non factors for championship gave us more trouble at home then the true title contenders.

At the phog we struggled with Okie State ( 69-67 ) - -Oklahoma ( 79-75 )- - Iowa St ( 62-60 )- - WV ( 76-74 ) & - -Texas Tech ( 67-63 )

Where as with the Serious title contenders was easier at home - - -K/State - - ( 90-78 ) - -Texas- - ( 88-80 )- - Baylor- - ( 87-71 ) - -just really weird.

Guess we need to consider ourselves fortunate things came out the way they did. - -could of easily possibly three more losses

@jayballer67

Very interesting

Besides last night's game that had a lot of pressure (Senior Night thrown on top of winning a Championship) I think it points out this KU team knows when to turn it on when the games count the most.

Definitely hoping this is the case. They've shown that they have a different gear they can ascend to. I just hope they've found exactly where that switch is because it would suck to be waiting on it and all of the sudden it just isn't there anymore.

@benshawks08

Perhaps its play their best when it most matters? All the games have meaning but for KU, organically, certain games become bigger and in the moment KU has almost always rised to the occasion and come out on top.

Mercy trying to grasp - - 17 Championships in 20 years - - that's insane - good insane but insane lol - Think about this. Therre IS a possibility - -a slim one but a possibility -- Ku could actually if things were to play out - -Ku could actually end up winning this Conference by THREE GAMES - -that's crazy with the strength of the league.

K/State is @ WV -even K/State fans are a little leary of that one - the one that won't turned this into a reality is ISU @ Baylor - I got a feeling Baylor just gonna curb stomp the hell out of Iowa State - but anything is possible - - THREE GAMES

They amp up, and amp down. If every game is national championship caliber max effort, then we have a burned out team come tournament time. Bill has tried that method before, and years ago we would come out flat as pancake in the tournament.

@Jethro I seem to recall Jaybate saying this too many moons ago

I think it’s been that way in-terms of hype up game since 2006 IMO. Some games you tell when we come out BS told the guys let’s see what happens. Almost feel like Tuesday was that way for most it.

The uniforms this year have been :thumbs_down: :face_vomiting: imo

Gonna have to go gel the new Championship shirt. - Looks good say - - History repeats it - -self lmao for Coach Self Love it

@approxinfinity I really liked the Pay heed ones the rest have been average to bad. Disliked the grays and the sunflower ones.

@kjayhawks I liked the back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back shirt (for number 13). Really illustrates how ridiculous the streak was.
