We good.

I remember being at a KU/ISU game at the old preseason Big 8 post-Christmas tournament in the early '70s. Dad and I had the fun of watching what I seem to remember was a 9 point play...We made a shot and got fouled, and the ISU coach got 3 bench technicals.

I really hope Kevin will be able to play through the pain. He was a stud yesterday.

If Kevin playing this weekend in any way impacts his ability to play next week I'll be a very unhappy person. That's all I'm saying about that situation.

Kevin should join Bill in Lawrence and watch the game, imho.

I think it’s big for Joe to get minutes to help built his confidence. But yes let Kevin rest

Joe isn't lacking confidence

Really wish the MJ Rice experiment went better. Probably the most disappointing storyline of the season.

Zach being a pretty close 2nd. Bobby a 3rd.

IF we seemingly have a No. 1 seed wrapped up, i'd sit Kevin. Send him to physical therapy and rest for the next week.

@rockchalkjayhawk I think we want that Midwest #1. But I'm personally willing to give it up to ensure we have a healthy squad.

I want it all! Amputate legs, fuse vertebrae if we have to. Welfare of players is unimportant! Championships are the ONLY thing that matter!....sorry, channeled you know who for a second.

@BShark we good!

In a perfect world yeah rest him.

I think Kevin is showing he wants to play through it and be with his team, making an impact. That's why he came here and if the trainers are letting him play then we might as well get all he's got. He was fabulous yesterday considering

Ya, there's no bravado with backs, no matter how young you are. If there's an option, the smart move is to rest and recover and build up any weakness so you can shine on the big stage. I'd be the same, wanting to play, but the adults in the room should realize the NCAAs are the big prize.

Who knows. If it's only a mild tweak, bring it!

@rockchalkjayhawk

Kevin downplayed it after the game as well. We've seen several players play through things this year, kev has been battling something it seems all season. I'm sure if it was serious enough he wouldn't play.

Sounds like kev is starting.

so is the game on ESPN - or ESPN 2 - my guide for both Chanels says Duke & Miami

LFG

ROCKCHALK ❤💙🌾🌾🌾🌾👋

Wilson is on 🔥 tonight!

Good god.

Holy cow

OMG

Fire!!

Rebound guys

Harris not happy with the tall guys for not pulling down one of those boards.

Jalen in his BAG

Jalen come to play some ball lol

Got to RB fellas

Might need Udeh’s height

We’re getting big boy’s but shooting cures all

Iowa State out rebounded Baylor 30-5 in the 2nd half last night

@jayballer67 Is that good?

@benshawks08 said in Boowa State Game Thread:

@jayballer67 Is that good?

uh ya

The offense has done nothing outside Jalen so we have to find ways to start getting into their bullcrap sag and press crap

Make these KJ

Ack, Fran getting an award

This feels like a B12 title game in terms of intensity

Juan is a straight up menace

@FarmerJayhawk lol.

Again

OMG 💪

Come on Gradey.

Can’t let him get there Joe.

MJ check in

Here comes MJ!

Jalen gonna score 50.

Lol Jalen had Joe wiiiiide open but was like nah

Damn JWill got a foul called 🤦‍♀️

Fouled 4 times and they boo

Definite interference on the other end smh

Going deep bench here.

Cool Och’s folks are in the front row

Might need one of jalen or Gradey in.

Terrible lineup

Well?

McCullah. Damn it, say his name right!

Glad MJ is getting run

Oh no

Flop

Wimpy!

Wow Bobby really can't even dribble

@BeddieKU23 what has happened there.

ISt has already played 10 players, so KU must sub

@benshawks08

In his head

2?

Bobby isn't looking to shoot, just pass

Wow why is Bobby out there?

Good drive by kev

@StLJhawk said in Boowa State Game Thread:

Ack, Fran getting an award

Dang. I was hoping Granny Franny was retiring.

@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:

Horse collared!

That kj pass to kev was so good.

good GOD Grady got mugged

great feed from Dejuan to KJ to Kev. This is why i watch basketball- what a beautiful play!

3 rbs looks bad, but when KU shoots 67% and ISt 50%, there aren't as many rbs to be had

Team game, Self ball!🏀🏀🏀🏀

Can't let up on defense

@stoptheflop said in Boowa State Game Thread:

3 rbs looks bad, but when KU shoots 67% and ISt 50%, there aren't as many rbs to be had

Also, attacking the offensive glass that hard against us is a risk. If we can pull down a few we could run run run.

Make up call

Who's fat Joe?

Boo birds flew south I see

What a dumb a$$

@Crimsonorblue22 rapper

KJ… what was that???

What’s kev supposed to do there?

@benshawks08 💪🏽

Lol pathetic call

Go ahead and shoot, MJ

Self calling MJ?

Grady totally lost by his man

good close out, gradey

Flop

They're good at that

No JOE

Crap

Just what we needed. A Joe heat check

Walk before that three

Why are MJ and Yes shooting bricks?

So sick of gabe

@StLJhawk said in Boowa State Game Thread:

What else do you expect them to do?

Nice d gradey

Lol, guess I meant why are they shooting

Juan oof

Juan…

Harris has struggled all yr at the line

Gradey

Gradey flop.

When in Rome…

@BeddieKU23 not at the beginning

Lol Fran that’s a flop

Solid offense there. Oof.

We might need Harris on the court.

Joke refs

Use your timeouts

Referees need a course in geometry to learn the definition of a cylinder

Bobby can't do a damn thing

why is Bobby playing - -DRIBBLE - - - -DRIBBLE - - -DRIBBLE - - DRIBBLE 5,4,3,2

Maybe. Just maybe put Juan back in please??

That was beyond lazy d

You CAN NOT have Bobby & Joe in the game at the same time - they make ugly plays

Juan is getting a blow we’ll be okay here

Dominate this game to be up 4. Ugh

Nice show

God, I love this team...

Great energy and fight!!

Imagine the sweet 16 and elite 8 here...

@BeddieKU23 without the boooooo’s!

I was so damn happy this morning when I saw KSUcks LOST🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

I think our defense has been exceptional.

Harris is the best point guard in this damn country and we are the only ones that know

Feel like we should be up more but all and all good half

And that will always be the difference between Self and everyone else in the blue bloods. No other coach is seeing what he saw in Juan and values that and then develops it to its fullest

It’s wild. At one point we were the best school for bigs. Then wings. Now guards.

@kjayhawks It's just that Iowa State makes a game look so dam ugly. - -They play ugly maug grab push , pull shove ball

@BShark

Yeah can't forget that one!

KU with a lot of bench minutes, but again no bench pts

@Jethro

He can't help his diarrhea of the mouth

Quick, tell me a KU team with a weaker bench.

they coming back down to the real world. - -Miles was making them look silly last night and MERCY did they turn the ball ove and TCu ran them to death on turnovers

Jalen Wilson's INCREDIBLY hot start has increased his season total to 645 points. He has passed Kirk Hinrich & Tyshawn Taylor to move into 19th in #KUbball history for most points scored in a single season. It's 9th most for any #Jayhawks player under Self.

Need to get Grady going again

Defense was great. Iowa St missed a lot of looks later in that half. Would love for it to signal dead legs for them

LOL boy I hear ya there, except for last night he has been Big MIA lately

Probably big that we kept a lead while going deep in that bench. We got little out of the bench but we stole some freshness

I'll be honest Gradey is soft. ISU was smart to get physical with him right away, he's been a bit checked out mentally.

He does have 3 boards and steals. Not all bad

@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:

Yeah it would be nice if they actually did much. MJ was lol

Wow really

They’re so tall

This is dumb

Is Joe ever gonna not get called on that strip?

Wow kev hurt

If the paint is this open next year for us Elmarko will feast. We need to get a couple shooters in the portal however.

Gradey is tough

Not an ideal start to the half.

This team can be so dam frustrating

Garbage Gradey tonight cool

Wow I don't understand

@StLJhawk said in Boowa State Game Thread:

@BShark gotta wonder if as the team is doing less switching and more scouting report d if confusion is just a problem for him. Freshmen…

We need scorers not dribbling

Lazy Gradey

OKAY GRADEY I SEE YOU

Lol

Whew

I think Harris might be a better defender than dick.

JW, so quick

What a pass

DAMN I LOVE THIS TEAM

Bonus time

Pretty easy to score in the paint when refs don't call 3 secs

J will deciding every offensive board is his right now.

Jalen. A man amongst boys

JW with the all american rebound.

Dick banging the ball hard off the hole with Wilson there to clean it up. Should have Fabio on the cover.

Juan and Jalen. Dynamic duo

And all because we played kj at the 4.

The under is looking good 130.5 but could this make bad beats?

Edit - negative

Rock chalk chant sounding nice! For a sec there.

Fantastic win. I'm very proud- that was a great effort.

I was worried!

Go tcu!

They don’t beat us at Hilton South, Hilton North, or Paris Hilton

Got the rubber match with ISU. Same with UT next?

One of the best defensive efforts of the year

Great overall TEAM effort

Couch Roberts undefeated!!!

Coach Roberts undefeated!!!!! How about coach of the year?

the Clones join Baylor and Silo Tech on the heap of the pretender's pile.

Looking forward to the next three years with this great kid.

I think Bill has figured out to tank a few league games early to inflate their rankings to give us some quality wins late in the year. Lol

@kjayhawks said in Boowa State Game Thread:

Might be the best effort of the year. Great energy and determination.

Harris made it a 4 on 4 game. Totally dominant effort by the baddest kid on the court except jalen

Norm playing the bench and two double digit wins hmmmmm.

Interesting game, lot of minutes from the bench. Some good minutes and some not so good but experienced gained in a really tough game

Just win tomorrow guys and we will for sure be in Sunday 🤣

@Crimsonorblue22 But not on Juan

@Crimsonorblue22 But Dick got him in the end

@jessejayhawk 😂

I know some would like an early exit for rest, but I like the experience. I think it’s good for the freshmen to play several one and done games to get their nerves taken care of. Switch over to third phase of the season; the learning curve is steep - take advantage of any extra games.

As for tomorrows game, if you’re playing you just as well win it

@dylans As long as we have Kevin for the NCAAT this is optimal.

We GOT PAYBACK for the Longhorns - -lets give them something to remember us by when they tuck tail for the SEC - Tomorrow is our day - - PAYBACK

KU - now is now 30-6 in the T-Mobile Center since the beginning

@jayballer67 since the name change from sprint center?

Well Said- - couldn't agree more. The conference championship would be nice BUT we have other BIGGER GOALS. - like you said if we have too rest Kevin until next week now, we need his defensive presence

I believe that's what Hanni just said in postgame

@jayballer67 isu won 4 of the last 9 and Texas one, so that’s 5 losses in 9 tournaments (no 2020). I can’t recall the rest. Needless to say KU is good. I can’t remember when that glassy erection went up - maybe Dick knows?

Ya I'm sure if anyone would know -Dick knows

@jessejayhawk said "Juan is like an STD, just really hard to get away from him". Come on man, would you like to be compared to a STD and have it be considered something positive?

As for the Dick jokes, just a reminder it's also a name people have and whom we love. I know it's going to be used forever now as a crude term, but it's also a junior high joke that adults think they're being clever saying them.

@wissox My grandmother inlaw reaallly enjoyed calling her husband Dick. (Richard to everyone else)

Had to watch on DVR again. A few random thoughts.

Jalen hot start, kind of felt like game over right there even though ISU did come back and briefly (once I think) took the lead before we pulled away.

Early in the game our least favorite broadcaster got some sort of award during a TV timeout. A little hard to tell from just watching but the fans sure gave him a lukewarm round of applause. Not sure if other fans don't like him either, but it seemed somewhat obvious.

End of the half a great sequence, turnover leads to a Bobby (I think) runout and a pass to a cutting DaJuan who tapped it over to ready to slam it KJ Adams.

Great to see Jalen start making some 3's again, but now he has a 4 miss streak after making his first 3 early in the game.

Courtney Ramey just made a 3 for Zona. Seems like he's got to be 30 years old if this is the same Ramey that played for Texas.

I thought our defense was outstanding.

Kev should sit tomorrow and against whatever 16 seed we play next Thursday or Friday.

Would you trade Fran for Bill Walton?

We should recruit Gianni Cobb, an all state player in his division in Illinois. I taught him. I'd love to see him wear the Jayhawk uni!

Wisconsin fans still say the Badgers beat KU because Zach's foot was touching out of bounds when he tapped the ball out to Bobby (or was it Joe?) for the game winner. It was really close, but it was never reviewed.

High school playoffs, NCAA D3 tournament Wheaton (my wife, my dad, and my daughters all graduated from there) playing in the quarterfinals tomorrow against some guy named Christopher Newport, Conference tournaments, selection Sunday, the great visual spectacles of the Players Championship (talking golf now) and the Masters, All day madness for four days in a row a week from now, brackets, Cinderellas, (I once had a student named Cinderella), and then to top it off almost simultaneously with the last day of the season, MLB starts up and now ends approximately the day we play FT. Hays, or Emporia or Topeka YMCA in a warmup game. They call it March Madness because my wife is mad because she can't watch any of her shows! Then Easter! And then, at least for those in my profession, Spring Break!

See you all tomorrow, I'll finally be able to live chat a Jayhawk game. Maybe @BShark will let me start the game thread!!

@dylans In my case it was my father in law who just passed away this summer.

@wissox no on game thread! We are on a winning streak!

@Crimsonorblue22 I hear ya, but I need to clear my name that I was to blame for that loss a month ago!!

Nice win today. The guys seemed fairly relaxed, huh. I’m honestly surprised the way they have won two games so far without Self. I thought that would be a tough, emotional task.

There was some sloppy play for sure today, but maybe that’s just back to back games?

Udeh! When he stole the ball mid court and made his way to the rim, I was rolling on the floor. Awesome energy! Need that from him.

We're a #1 seed, win or lose. We owe Texas payback, so let's finish it out and take the #1 overall seed.

@wissox I'd rather have a pedantic know-it-all who is wrong half the time, but is pretty impertubable, than be subjected to the rantings of a guy whose temperament seems to be a bipolar combo of stoned and methed.

@mayjay I'll respond after I get out my dictionary and figure out what you just wrote!

OK, I get it. Not me, I'd rather listen to the humorous pontifications of a man whose countenance seems to be a tripolar oleo of humor, sober...ok, I'll give you stoned, and brilliance than hear the egotistical musings of someone who is wrong more than half the time who needs muted.

Yes! Besides watching JWs opening salvo of 3s rocket thru the basket and his overall dominance of the game, watching Udeh make a few plays, some FTs, and give some big minutes was a definite highlight for me.

When Kev goes out, we can look really short out there - getting shots blocked and passes deflected by the tall trees. It’s something that worries me a bit in the Dance (our 2 seed getting spanked by Stanford tall trees in the tourney years back still bugs me).

But with our tallest (6’ 11”) player out there I feel better against taller teams. And BS has expressed how he misses having a reliable big. I know he’s inexperienced and makes mistakes, but also some flashes of real potential. Plus there’s a joyous look he has when he does well that makes me smile. I’m hoping for some big minutes from him in the weeks to come. And come next year…
