We good.

who's gonna lose to us today? I honestly don't know.

I think they should start every B12 game in this tournament with a tribute to the team that made this conference what it is today : Kansas. If we had sucked, all of them would've sucked, too.

Jeez, game doesn’t even seem important anymore, huh.

Agree.

JOEEEEEE

I don't think it's wildly unreasonable to think Joe goes for anywhere from 15-30 points today. We've never really seen what he would do with starter minutes. He's shown he can score in bunches and with a head full of confidence and a hunger to prove himself, this could go well!

Of course we'll play the Clones next round. This is their Superbowl. Did Joe go in and talk some smack to Stevenson?

@Jethro I saw that but figured it was a joke.

🙏 up for Coach ❤💙

Busy morning and just sitting down and it's hard to find the words. Will be an emotional one for sure.

Norm is 4-0 and he gets to coach again at the end. He's more than prepared.

RockChalk 🌾🌾🌾🌾

Remember it was coach Drew that came in our locker room and Svi said who's that guy?

Looks like NO Higgins 👍🙌

@wissox

I read your post♥️
As an aside, I passed High Elite Major in number of posts. I see him on Twitter every once in a blue moon.
Think of Jaybate often.

@RockChalkinTexas

Our first win of the day

@BeddieKU23 But certainly lost 2x with having Fran🤭

Kev is on the court. Saw where he wasn't expected. Back spasms

Bench points critical

Got my new conference championship tshirt on

Hoping WVU is tired

@BShark we good!

Figured Kevin would guard Erik

Is Stevenson licking the Jayhawk? Weird

@dylans said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Is Stevenson licking the Jayhawk? Weird

He is an odd one.

No goaltend?

@BeddieKU23 It was but lol

Yes yes

Energy

KJ was fouled

With everyone face guarding Gradey, we need to run some back door cuts for him, maybe a couple of double screens to free him up...

Wow

Get back dear lord

Bench Yes DEAR GOD

OMG

Omg joe

Fouls!

Thank you Juan

Juan

Fouls!

FOUL ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Joe taking half our shots is not a recipe for success...

Very sloppy start lol. Street ball with Norm.

The refs see no stinkin’ fouls. Wanna get this round over with. Lol

@DCHawker X1000

Passing under goal stinks! Why do we go flying shooting layups!

We do have good energy

Ugg. Those red uniforms repel my eyes. I end up watching the wrong team.

These refs suck

Garbage

Wow Kev sighting

🤦‍♂️

Out hustling us

Gradey isn't working hard enough to get the ball in his hands...

Our offense is offensive

Gradey watching

Udeh hands

Yesefu is very fast. I wish he would use his powers for good

Yeah uh, hope Self wants to coach in NCAAT.

10 shots from Jalen and Joe - none from Gradey. JWill is a warrior, but he isn't efficient offensively. We aren't going to be at our best unless everyone is contributing...

Ref are you effing kidding

I’d like to see Udeh get going

Wilson, higher on the glass, use the square

On combined pace for 40+ TOs in the game...

@dylans we were looking for a fast twitch WR in the portal 😂

Haven't scored in 4 minutes. Games to start the season with Norm felt similar to this as well.

Bad call

Ref...

4-16....

Udeh is a man

Grad3y

Dick what is you doin

Omg ref.

KJ. BOOM

Wow

Kevin looks stiff

an 1

@Crimsonorblue22 was just about to say! As a fellow back injury sufferer it looks all too familiar

QUANDO JUANDO

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Kevin looks stiff

I think he always does - just more so today... :)

@FarmerJayhawk protecting it?

Definitely looks half himself

Looks like a statue

I'd rather he be resting it tbh

@Crimsonorblue22 if it tightens up (especially if lower back) it makes every movement harder. You’ll feel ok for a second then try to do something and it’ll grab. The telltale sign is walking around like he’s got a stick up his bum 😂

But we need him later so don't overdo it

Yup they are tired

We'll take it

Atta boy J Will

Juan

Love that kid

Great steal Kevin!

Love it. Flop harder Erik

Gradey!🖐️🖐️

Cool

Nice rrrrooooooll

J Will elite post man

Nice to have Wilson and Harris leading this team...

@FarmerJayhawk did u say that before last one?

Two end of shot clock miracles so far. Every time against us @BeddieKU23

Love the effort though, making them work for it.

Go Buffalo. Beat UCLA

Omg it's crazy

@Crimsonorblue22 maybe something to that effect?

So...who's getting boat raced?

Bobby you need to drive the ball my man. There’s a reason they’re leaving you open

@Kcmatt7 said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Bobby you need to drive the ball my man. There’s a reason they’re leaving you open

Wish Dajuan would have shot sooner when similarly open.

Who was that on?

@Crimsonorblue22 Udeh

HATE that call. WVU guy just flailed around hoping and got rewarded.

WV is so, so, so bad.

Udeh good D

Udeh wow

We have been defending well I will say that.

Boarding too

@BShark This is the way

@FarmerJayhawk said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

WV is so, so, so bad.

Computers LOVE them. It's funny.

Lol Bobby is just not that guy we thought he was going to be

Ick

Why, why was the ball in Bobby's hands????

Bobby really needs to find a level he can play at. This one isn't

Textbook Bobby to end the half

@BeddieKU23 said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Bobby really needs to find a level he can play at. This one isn't

Think he will be sticking around. Hopefully deep bench.

Very rare this staff misses big but man it’s looking that way with Bobby. Which sucks because he’s done everything right.

Hopefully Bill didn't watch the first half

He did, u know it!

Just tuning in. What happened with HCBS?

Will they clear him for tmrw?

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Hopefully Bill didn't watch the first half

Actually, he is probably happy - he loves to win ugly - win games when no one is making shots...

@Eric-san said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Just tuning in. What happened with HCBS?

He’s been hospitalized. Should be fine

@Crimsonorblue22 no way. Take it easy Bill.

Also Bill if you’re in the game chat say hi would love to hear your thoughts

@FarmerJayhawk said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Also Bill if you’re in the game chat say hi would love to hear your thoughts

Bill's thoughts:

"Hi. I wish I could start five Jimmy Butlers."

@KirkIsMyHinrich “Jimmy Butler. Kawhi. Those dudes guard. Terrific.”

Hey we broke 30!

There we go Gradey!

@FarmerJayhawk 😎🥸hi

3 on Eric!!

Come on adams

FTs are rough today

@Zabudda said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Hey we broke 30!

might be a bad game for the naysayers.

Kj what happened?

Walk

Foul whatever

That’s better

Free throws

I'm glad KJ made that because he probably isn't making the FT

JWill has been slapped in the face multiple times

Due

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

I'm glad KJ made that because he probably isn't making the FT

You are legion...

@Jethro Reverse jinx

Go to the ball wilson

Kj quit on that

Wow make a damn layup

KJ had his man beat. He needs to put his body between the basket and the defender. He made that way too hard

Need that energy back. That's their fav word!

Our ball

Yeah udeh

Go Dick

Needed that

Double foul. I just cant

What????

That ref sucks

They've been letting WVU do that push off all game...

@BeddieKU23 said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

That ref sucks

Been absolutely turrible

Great camera work on that replay.

Lol

Way to save the clock WVU.

Who u for Fran?

AND 1 ASSHOLE

Ouch Stevenson

🤭

somebody got racked...

Fouled him with his..Gradey?

Delayed a bit, I'd call flop on the future baby Erik's

@Crimsonorblue22 That one sometimes takes a minute to really set in.

Rises up into the stomach. Lingers for a good while.

@benshawks08 oh?

Yeah First Team aa

@Crimsonorblue22 Indeed. Know from experience. Ouch.

My boys have never said anything about their stomachs

@benshawks08 almost yakked a time or two 😳

@benshawks08 said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

@Crimsonorblue22 Indeed. Know from experience. Ouch.

You ain't never birthed a baby, let alone 2 at a time.

Ouch your ass!

@RockChalkinTexas Not comparing! Not comparable. Nothing close I'm sure!

Men are weak!

Joe DEAR GOD

How can you not call a foul

Joe! See the dang ball

"McCullar Hammered" no call...

Joe is also not the guy we thought he’d be 😂

Poor choice of words fran

Jalen is him

If you let Jalen adjust the scope it's over

Grad3y

Good d everyone. Lol

KJ has had a heck of a game

Tough

Love our midget trex center

What?

Boo

Isu, boo

Wow

THAT WAS CLEAN

To quick for refs

@BShark said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Love our midget trex center

Proof that self finds challenges and concours

That's like the guy in pick up who always call that no matter how much ball you get. So annoying.

Really want the bracket that puts KU in KC.

Oh my

0 bench points 🤦‍♀️

Dang

Get kevin out. dont want him getting hurt more

KJ HIMOTHY ADAMS

@benshawks08 said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Get kevin out. dont want him getting hurt more

I don’t understand why he’s even playing. Dumb

Juan looks like a deer!

I'll live with a close game due to Joe and Bobby being joe and bobby.

What is THAT call??

That guy just sucks at his job

Run the action on the other side of the floor my god

Let’s get this big train rolling baby!

Lol Juan

Whatever

Another one.

Almost time for Zachary Clemence with this foul sitch.

At least Zach earns his most of the time.

Fran, get the story straight

Come on

Finish game

We couldn’t just make this easy could we

Much needed timeout. Get Kevin out of there.

@RockChalkinTexas none from Kevin?

I want news from the man, the legend, our coach!

I made a burnt offering to the Phog gods to free up The Grad3y. My girlfriends mizzou undies.

UUUUUU DAY

Ref could you not

Refs keeping interesting

Bang

Kevvvv

Wonder what Hugs will say about the way this game was called.

Juan needs 2 more assists dble x 2

Hugs shouldn't have any complaints! Haven't seen him upset

Not usually a guy to get on Fran a lot but him saying “McCullah” is about to drive me whackadoodle

18-9 foul calls for the game. There's something very wrong with the refs trying to keep WV in the game by only calling fouls one way.

@stoptheflop

That's about every game right?

But we always get the calls!

Get Jalen a few more buckets to get that avg over 20 again

@BeddieKU23 he's trying

Jalen 😂

@FarmerJayhawk said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

Jalen 😂

Playin around lmaoooo

Ok it’s been fun. WE WANT JANK

Aggressive Dick is good Dick lol

I guess Gonzaga and Nova or whoever else from the BE would be basketball-only invites, and BY would try to split up football and basketball, but I don't know about that. I'm not sure if those numbers would work out favorably for us.

Alright

🌾🌾🌾🌾❤💙🌾🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Can still get the 1 overall. Keep winning

Norm remains undefeated :face_with_steam_from_nose:

🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀💙❤️🌾🌾🌾relief! Good job coaches, thx for the sacrifice Kevin! Good job Jayhawks!

Guess we won the BOAT RACE- "oh ye of little faith"

Knew they would play hard for Bill today. Unreal that Kev played lol.

Great way to spend the afternoon even if I missed Jeopardy!!
See y'all tomorrow #RockChalk

@BShark tough! Give it up for the team💪🏽

Post game! Keep the Self news updated on Self post, everyone, please

Don't know if this is common knowledge and I just missed it, but Bill won't coach the whole conference tournament.

I thought the guys really played loose and seemed to be having fun with little pressure. Nice to Jwil and Gradey find some rhythm once again. Joe and Udeh had some good moments. Juan did Juan things, KJ was solid in the second half and Kev just did as much as he had too.

Why did the top seed play the second game, whereas the 4/5 seed game was played 3 hours earlier giving them more rest? No. 2 seed Texas gets the first game this evening, while the 3/6 seeds play the second game.

@stoptheflop it seems to never stay the same either. Several years as the one seed we played first game of the day and the last game. I’m don’t understand it, seems silly

Good thing for ESPN+ today. My guide on directtv said ESPN2 so I recorded, got home after soccer practice and grilled up a burger with zatarans cajun seasoning and settled in to watch the....uh...duke game?

Mine said the same

@stoptheflop more rest and we don't like am games

@stoptheflop I think it's perfect.

@wissox said in Microwave Joe Game Thread:

My YouTubeTV lets me record all things KU. But the YTTV guide was correct anyway. Must have been something weird with DirectTV for you. I remember having their guide 18 years ago and hating it then.

Thanks for carrying me through the game guys yesterday. - - Had my surgery yesterday so missed the game - -just to doped up when I got home, got it recorded but just saw some highlights this morning. Haven't watched it yet. - Hope we play well today , both games against these guys have been to dam close - -well not at Hilton but thats not us. - -If w play the way we should , we have I don't see why shouldn't be 10 point win. - Really glad to see Grady break out of that slump some

My YTTV messed it up. Taped the Duke game.

@rockchalkjayhawk That is weird. Mine got the KU game. Wss yours set to record for the time period on the channel, or to record all ku games?

@mayjay Today, my guide says ESPN2, but the ESPN page says ESPN. Recording both channels just to be safe.

Set to record All KU games. First time I’ve had an issue all season. Now I gotta sweat today’s game, since I won’t be able to watch live!

Mine shows KU on ESPN. @jayballer67 , you will be pleased to know the Duke game is listed on ESPN2!

Does ESPN programming change regionally?

Mine says espn2

@Crimsonorblue22 The ESPN banner on now in the Fizzou game advertises us on ESPN tonite.

Says Miami Duke here, guess we'll see. Duke is supreme, 🤮

My recording worked today. Musta been a coding glitch or something.
