We good.

Yup

Play with free mind and have fun

First Dub in Austin for JW

Mar 04, 2023 02:07 PM #3

I'm surprised by the small size of the Moody arena for Texas basketball; pretty easy to sell out a 10,000 seat arena. Austin has about a million residents and the campus has 51,000 students. One article I saw says Moody seats 16,000. So every game is a sellout if the event operator just doesn't open all the seats in the arena. Not that I really care if someone wants to call their games a sellout. Let's beat Texas today, sellout or not.

Mar 04, 2023 02:55 PM #4

@stoptheflop the line around here about the arena is “they close the upper sections to make it feel more intimate. You know, like Allen field house.” They are always shocked and confused when I tell them Allen holds 16300. They say, “but that’s bigger than the Erwin center” and I say yes it is.

They have these weird panels that they lower to block out the upper levels and maybe they bounce the sound back? I haven’t been and unfortunately won’t be going today. The Texas fans I know love it because they say it’s louder and more fun than the old Erwin center (pretty low bar).

Mar 04, 2023 02:58 PM #5

15,000 capacity, but they limit if for bball to make it more intimate - lol more like so they have a chance of filling it.

Mar 04, 2023 04:29 PM #6

Speaking of new arenas, I didn't realize Baylor is also building a new basketball arena that is also downsizing from Ferrell Center. Ferrell Center has a capacity of a little over 10,000 and the new Foster Pavillion that's supposed seat about 7,000 and open in the spring of 2024. I love going to Waco, but getting rid of that many seats is going to drive up ticket prices significantly the way Moody Center did for UT tickets this year. The cheapest tickets for the KU game were going for over $200 until Wednesday when they lost out on the Big 12 title and are still going for about $175 today. Baylor will likely be similar and price a lot of Houston and DFW KU fans out of driving to Waco for those games.

Also, we don't have to worry about Fran calling our game today since he's in Waco for the ISU/Baylor game.

Mar 04, 2023 07:56 PM #7

LFG #Jayhawks ❤💙🌾

Wonder how we do playing in a new arena? Good test for us for what's ahead!!

Mar 04, 2023 07:58 PM #8

Need to rebound on both ends

Mar 04, 2023 07:59 PM #9

Mar 04, 2023 08:12 PM #22

Wow that was a really poor 4 minutes

Mar 04, 2023 08:12 PM #23

Gradey ought to be able to beat one guy rather than throw it away

Mar 04, 2023 08:12 PM #24

We continue to act like we can't make anything

Mar 04, 2023 08:13 PM #25

Holy Crap. Auburn & Tenn are stuck in the 30-20 second range cause of foul , timeout- -- foul timeout - - foul - timeout give it up - -your fricken beat dam

Useless

Mar 04, 2023 08:19 PM #34

@Jethro Hey, it grazed the rim

Mar 04, 2023 08:19 PM #35

Juan. He's becoming frank

Mar 04, 2023 08:20 PM #36

getting some damn good looks

Mar 04, 2023 08:21 PM #37

Oh boy, 0 and 1 on floor at same time? I guess this game isn't that important is it?

Mar 04, 2023 08:21 PM #38

Bobby is a walking turnover

Mar 04, 2023 08:21 PM #39

Why do we continue to play Boby ?

he always has to make at least one bonehead play every game

Mar 04, 2023 08:22 PM #41

we're lucky they can't hit anything either

Mar 04, 2023 08:23 PM #42

Grady has to get over this funk - last three games he has been zelch

Mar 04, 2023 08:24 PM #43

Nice shooting - -AGAIN - - 3-14

Mar 04, 2023 08:24 PM #44

Bobby has more turnovers then rebounds, not far off his assist total either

He has more turnovers then made baskets

Mar 04, 2023 08:24 PM #45

Wonder how many scalpers lost money since the prices didn't go up with UT's loss?😁

Mar 04, 2023 08:24 PM #46

JW is 0 for 18 his last 3 point attempts...

Mar 04, 2023 08:24 PM #47

Yes points his feet at a 45-degree angle away from the basket before he shoots. I don't get it

Mar 04, 2023 08:25 PM #48

Bob and yes in together?

Mar 04, 2023 08:26 PM #49

Udeh breathe on the guy or what?

Mar 04, 2023 08:29 PM #57

Mar 04, 2023 08:29 PM #58

Can't shoot

12 points in 12 and a half minutes - - Nice

Mar 04, 2023 08:35 PM #70

What's a foul on 1 end vs the other is so blatantly biased

Gradey hasn't ~~missed~~ taken any shots yet

Wilson is O-5 all from in the paint

Mar 04, 2023 08:38 PM #74

@jayballer67 Where? 3 weeks ago we were getting walloped by Baylor. Beat them by as much. Last April, same. This team is never out of it.

Some people (not just you Jayballer) get all bent out of shape like we should be winning every minute of every game and if we're not, hells bells the sky is falling.

Mar 04, 2023 08:39 PM #75

Ugh

Mar 04, 2023 08:39 PM #76

Wilson is stinkin', but he's working hard at least. Gradey on the other hand...

Mar 04, 2023 08:42 PM #84

Wow it's clear who they want to win

Mar 04, 2023 08:47 PM #97

I dunno , just looks like to me that Texas has all the energy and KU just kinda - -ehh , knowing they already have the Championship wrapped up. - -Pretty much saying the same thing on the Ku broadcast. - -you add that plus our three point shooting recently just plain sucks butter milk

Mar 04, 2023 08:47 PM #98

I think we give a shit, we just can't hit

Mar 04, 2023 08:48 PM #99

@BeddieKU23 I agree

Mar 04, 2023 08:48 PM #100

If gradey doesn't take at least 10 shots, this game was a waste. Gotta get that guy involved.

Didn't let it get to 20

JW made that because he just shot it, and didn't think about it.

Tennessee Game--check

TCU game--Check

That game a few years ago when Texas Tech hit like their first 20 3 point shots--check

Mar 04, 2023 09:35 PM #188

Yeah, in general

Mar 04, 2023 09:36 PM #189

Ready and trusted

Mar 04, 2023 09:36 PM #190

To tell you how poorly we have played - -were shooting 28 % and only down 10 - - -Grady hasn't made a field goal for 3 Plus halves

Mar 04, 2023 09:37 PM #191

10 minutes to shine, fellas

Mar 04, 2023 09:38 PM #192

Damn it. 1 TO left

Mar 04, 2023 09:39 PM #194

This maybe on of the most uninspired games I’ve seen. BS doesn’t look hot on the side line. Zach getting big minutes. Bet BS said just go play and see what happens

Mar 04, 2023 09:40 PM #195

Bottom line is - -if we can't get Grady out of this funk - - -we in TROUBLE. - -Jalen can not carry this team by himself. - - Grady has been our 2nd best scorer the entire season. Now is not the time, who gonna pick up his slack. Can't lay it on Kevin he is just nt that type pf player -

Good GOD Grady Scored

Mar 04, 2023 09:45 PM #200

Just do that every time, Gradey

Mar 04, 2023 09:46 PM #201

This is just not the day. -- Juan has missed his last 9 - just had got it to seven DAm

Mar 04, 2023 09:46 PM #202

The zipper is down, go Gradey

Mar 04, 2023 09:47 PM #203

this was our chance to make the perfect move to get the # 1 overall seed

Mar 04, 2023 09:48 PM #204

Stil think we going to Des Moines then if can win there w go to KC

Mar 04, 2023 09:49 PM #205

Just backing us down in the post, try Udeh

Mar 04, 2023 09:49 PM #206

Play Udeh and KJ

Mar 04, 2023 09:50 PM #207

If Juan helps they pass back out

Mar 04, 2023 09:50 PM #208

Where has that been the last 3 halves

Mar 04, 2023 09:50 PM #209

Mar 04, 2023 09:53 PM #218

One more chance for a run, guys

Mar 04, 2023 09:54 PM #219

Refs weren't great. We weren't great either. A road loss to a top 10 team isn't the end of the world and honestly might be good for this team before the tournament.

Mar 04, 2023 10:12 PM #257

Depressing!

Mar 04, 2023 10:12 PM #258

Jesus. Worked today so didn't catch any of this game. Looks like we decided to suck greasy camel taint today. That's probably gonna make it near impossible to get the overall number 1. But that may be okay if they intend to ever play like that in the dance we probably don't need the embarrassment of that

@Crimsonorblue22 I am not so sure in this case, pride is one thing, common sense is another. I will always want to see a win but in this case it didn/t seem to matter that much. I certantly respect your thoughts and as tou do, root for a win, go Jathawks

No we play the winner of the play in 9/10 I think it's either Texas Tech or Oklahoma

Mar 04, 2023 10:25 PM #264

I think it's a bad idea to play starters when they clearly weren't up for being competitive. It can't do nothing but hurt our seeding while it still risks injuries.

Once it was obvious we were flying the white flag we should have yanked our starters.

Perfect time to give extensive minutes to the bench!

That performance was pathetic.

almost from the word go. - -I haven't seen us play that poor for some - - -well like they said probably Iowa State. - -Yet which was worse games - -Us getting beat by 16 by the # 9 team on their home floor - or Or Baylor getting stomped by Iowa State on Baylors home floor --Or Oklahoma the worst team in the league supposedly just curb stomping TCU ?

Glad I didn't dig into my savings for a ticket to that.

Mar 04, 2023 10:39 PM #268

We only scored 59 points.
Geez

Mar 04, 2023 10:40 PM #269

We haven't (gradey and j will) been scoring great for awhile! We have barely beat some bottom teams.

Mar 04, 2023 10:54 PM #270

This whole team has been kinda blah mediocre the last three games or so

Mar 04, 2023 11:18 PM #271

This had absolutely nothing to do with today's outcome, but will Pettiford ever put it together? Does he have the skill to stick around even as a back up?

Seems to do nothing but dribble into trouble and turn it over for a run out.

We play the 8/9 winner. Tech is the 9 seed and probably WVU as the 8 seed. I don't know the tiebreaker situation between WVU and OSU, but OSU has a double digit lead on Tech with under 10 to play so it's looking like that won't matter.

Mar 05, 2023 12:03 AM #274

@rockchalkjayhawk I’ve wondering about Bobby all year. Self is super high on him for some reason I’ve haven’t seen a plus/minus in a game that he wasn’t at least -11. He can’t move laterally on defense and has some head scratching turnovers every game. I’m not saying Joe is great but he at least can give you scoring and is much more athletic.

Mar 05, 2023 12:13 AM #275

Sorry. My bad. Couldn’t fulfill my gameday rituals while traveling. I will be planted firmly on the couch for any remaining games, Pepsi in hand when we need a run, KU ball cap backwards when necessary. I promise to give my all for the team!

Mar 05, 2023 12:24 AM #276

@kjayhawks agreed on Bobby. I just can't find an upside. I don't wanna be down on a kid but I have to say I honestly cringe when he checks in. I wouldnt call Joe great, but atleast serviceable for stretches. Even tho I think he shoots too much

Mar 05, 2023 12:25 AM #277

@dylans dammit man.... 🤣

Mar 05, 2023 12:47 AM #278

@Crimsonorblue22 We have not played even close to how we played much earlier in the season. We have won close games which is great, but it is concerning with March here. And even more concerning the way our scorers are not scoring consistently. Right now Gradey cannot be counted on as a threat. Something is definitely off; certainly does not look like a lottery pick the past two games. It was as if the team treated today like a scrimmage, but Texas realized that it was a game.

Mar 05, 2023 12:57 AM #279

I like choosing likely down games to not watch, because then I can just assume the players took the game off like I did and nothign they did was indicative of a real problem.

Mar 05, 2023 02:07 AM #280

We didn't play together as a team. They aren't setting each other up for the best shot. Too much hero ball. I expect a much crisper effort in the B12 tourney.

Mar 05, 2023 10:47 AM #281

Stats that stand out: JWill and Juan playing 39 and 37 minutes in a beat down - 14 minutes of court time from Udeh, Rice and Pettiford and only contribution to the stat sheet was a foul each - Gradey and KJ each with just 2 RBs each and zero assists.

Very well said. I've been thinking pretty much along those same lines. Sure we've won games - - games that could of just as easily went the other way - -2 -3 points wins or wins where we have to hold our breath when the opposition puts up the possible game winning shot. Now is not the time you want a team or players to be slumping , NOW is when you need to be playing your best ball -- cause now is the time it really counts. I mentioned this yesterday who is our other scoring option right now ? - Like you said it's not Grady , cause up until he hit that three late he had scored a field goal in over 3 halves -he had made 4 free throws - -THAT'S IT. So with out him , who is the other scoring option ? - -Jalen can not carry this team through the NCAA's by himself.

Right now as of this moment here is what I'm thinking about our team in the NCAA'S with the way we are playing - -The best scenario I can see possibly is an Elite 8 - but more in reality -- -a sweet 16 in more in line. The reasons for that reasoning is : - - Our rebounding -- getting beat to death as we have seen in some games on the defensive end - Teams getting 2-3-4 attempts , - -Our inconsistent shooting , we have hit a trend of coming out with %'s - -really bad - just ugly shooting -w do that against a quality NCAA tourney team , they gonna bury us. -You might be able to get away with those kind of nights in the opening round or 2nd game - after that your in Big time trouble. - then the other reason is Grady , he has got to get out of this slump , be more aggressive - we gotta have all hands on deck. With him being our by far best 3 pt shooter -- we gotta have that - you put those three elements together- -unless we can get it turned around - -then just can't see this as a National Champion Lastly have to agree with you on the game today - just seemed no energy, like they almost was at a point like well we already won the Title so it's ok - - NO it's not ok.

This is another reason I think they shouldn't worry as much about this post season Big twelve tourney.- Give those guys some rest - -let them heal up . give them some fresh legs , -get those reserves some playing time we can use late in the tourney. - We have proven who the champs of the Conference is over the long haul of the season not a 3-4 day tourney. - Hopefully get things straightened out

Mar 05, 2023 04:24 PM #283

@jayballer67 To take it one step further, we really have no one who has been consistent for some time now. Jalen is our closest, but he has had some rough games lately. Juan is superb when/if he is aggressive. I really believe that we can win every game before it starts. IF/when we play like there is no tomorrow, no team can stay with us. Not sure where the button to push is located, but sure hope Coach Self has it ready.

Mar 05, 2023 05:35 PM #285

@COHawk In the NCAA tournament, there is no tomorrow. It's win or be done, unlike yesterday. I'm not worried. We got beat by a top 10 team in their own arena, on their senior night. They were amped, we were not. We will when it matters. Yesterday really didn't matter. We should be the number 1 seed in the midwest. Being the overall #1 seed would be nice, but wouldn't affect anything. We really didn't have anything of substance to play for yesterday, and weren't engaged. We will be engaged in the tourney.

Mar 05, 2023 08:19 PM #286

@tundrahok I want to agree wholeheartedly with you, but we have not been engaged several times this year and got drilled. Several times it was only for a half and then we responded. Not a good formula to follow.

Mar 05, 2023 08:28 PM #287

Well I see Joey Brackets in the updated Brackets he has us as the # 1 overall seed. Joey had this For KU to lose to Texas was less of a negative for consideration then Alabama losing against Texas A & M.

On top of that just listened to Clark Kellog & Seth Davis on CBS - -Both said when asked who the # 1 overall seed should be. BOTH said no doubt KU should be the overall # 1 - with our diligence of work we have done over the season - -hard to argue that KU shouldn't be # 1

Mar 05, 2023 10:40 PM #288

Hard for us to get inside vs texass. No 3's. D not good enough!
