We good.

Mar 17, 2023 06:52 PM #2

From the sounds of it , Sounds like big point of emphasis for the game tomorrow is going to being able to rebound. Got to compete on the boards. - -- Arkansas loves to drive down hill they said - -Really don't shoot the 3 - - long, athletic really get after ya defensively , loves to get out and run. - Again gonna take a TEAM effort rebounding the ball. - -defend inside the arc, talking about how they at times just volley ball the ball tip it out keep it live - -really good size

@BShark we good! Guess what I had to eat the last 2 days? Might have enough for tonight.

I had some pork shoulder. UNDERRATED meat.

Mar 17, 2023 11:00 PM #5

@BShark @Crimsonorblue22 we eat pork often, I have butt to smoke tomorrow. It’s good meat and so much cheaper than beef and chicken.

Mar 18, 2023 12:09 AM #6

Not exactly, it was from Hog Wild!

Mar 18, 2023 01:58 AM #7

As an adopted Carolinian, pork is an elite bbq meat. Whole hog over a fire pit is a spiritual experience

I see what you did BShark starting the game thread 24 hours before the game starts. No way I can start one now.

@wissox I have powers!🤩

Mar 18, 2023 09:53 AM #11

Love pork shoulder. I love the bark. Cuban style with yellow rice, black beans, and plantains. Pulled pork sandwiches with baked beans and cole slaw. Taquitos with black refried beans, and spanish rice. Ok, I just talked myself into picking one up.

Mar 18, 2023 02:17 PM #12

Welp, no Self again today. No reason to think this, but anyone else wonder if he’s done at KU? I know, I know, probably not, just the way things are being handled has me thinking.

That thought occurred to me too. I'm not sure Self knows himself yet. I don't see any reason to panic yet, though.

Mar 18, 2023 02:20 PM #14

@HawkChamp no. Honestly impressed he’s been able to keep himself away. He said himself he’s actually feeling better than before the stints but sounds like he’s listening to doctors that a little recovery time not doing the most stressful thing he could do is a long term benefit.

Mar 18, 2023 02:24 PM #15

It may not be a post-season ban, but it might as well be a post-season ban.

Mar 18, 2023 02:25 PM #16

Yeah the post season ban is another theory people have thrown out there. That’s very possible as well

Mar 18, 2023 02:26 PM #17

@bskeet - maybe that could be worked into the narrative, then take back the scholly next year? šŸ˜‰

Mar 18, 2023 02:27 PM #18

It sounds like he’s still very involved with prep and game planning as well as talking to Norm at halftime. No it doesn’t replace being there, but I guess at least he’s a big part of the process still. Silver lining?

Oh yeah, he's gone. No one has ever made it back from heart stents.

Mar 18, 2023 02:43 PM #20

@Jethro correct, assuming that was the extent of the issue. I mean, he can’t even stand at practice, which is kind of the opposite of what you hear about people after stents. Hopefully there is nothing else wrong.

Or, he might be so valuable they are taking extreme precautions. He looked pretty good in his interview.

Mar 18, 2023 02:50 PM #22

@Jethro that’s what I am hoping as well

Mar 18, 2023 02:54 PM #23

The match-up with Arkansas is interesting. They start 4 guards who are all 6'4''-6'7'' and who all average double-digit points on the season. Then their fifth starter is a forward whom is 6'7''. It's a bit like our starting roster construction. Makhi Mitchell (6'9'', 230lbs) and Jordan Walsh (6'7'', 205lbs) come off the bench. Being able to switch everything defensively today might be helpful because they don't really have any bigs that can take advantage of a mismatch inside, though I still think Arkansas offensively will try to attack Dick and Wilson. We need Kevin and Juan to stay out of foul trouble.

Mar 18, 2023 03:13 PM #24

Dam depressing that hardly no analysts giving us a chance to win today. - Is it gonna be a hard game ? Hell ya it will be.We got to shoot the ball we and rebound , rebound , rebound. - -They don't shoot the three well, they hardly shoot the three, love to drive it down hill.

I just feel we kinda being dis respected , not giving us any respect , like we have no chance.- Time to shut them up

Wouldn't surprise me that this accident would be just enough after the Season is ove if he just didn't call it quits/retire. - -This job is very challenging/stressful to say the least I mean you figure having to put up with the NCAA'S BS on a daily basis ,He had stated anyways that he doesn't want to Coach for a long time, wants to be able to enjoy the wife - -the grand kids do other things. - -This might be just enough to seal the deal. - -The stres of being on the road recruiting - -the games themselves. - wouldn't surprise me

Mar 18, 2023 03:45 PM #27

@jayballer67 had the same thought this morning.

Only drawback is he has 2 titles and I’m sure would like to get it about 5. With Wright, K and Roy done and cal on a poor trajectory for once KU is the hot name for recruits.

If he can coach another 10 years he could rack up 2-3 titles if he has the best players for once.

He’s 60 though could easily see him at 65-67 being done

Sitting down here in NW Arkansas I've scoped out the more respected outlets. I haven't seen any disrespect. But most see a close game with an experienced KU squad winning 74-70. I agree but we have seen both teams reserve the right to get blown out at any time.

The pundits see the rim defenders and strong rebounding as a solid advantage over KU. Also this team has been touted as the most talented since the mid 90's hogs.

I'm sending/asking my wife to go play slots. She likes KU but not as much as the Hogs and she goes to bed early when they play like "Igits" (see Bugs bunny talking about Elmer Fudd). It's been January since I set my new WTF's record but I have changed my meds since then.

I am pumped up and even cleaned the bathrooms today. That means I'll have a good chance to get lucky tonight either way.

I was talking to my Nephew this morning and was saying that IF - - again IF - -Coach ere to retire, who would we get as our next Coach ? - He started naming a lot of former KU players , name Roberts I said Nope Ku wouldn't want any of them like Turgeon - -Collins-- Case - -Roberts - -I said actually we wouldn't have any problem getting a big name Coach - Coach's would be knocking at the door. Then I said I know who I would like - I said Jay Wright would be a good replacement if we could coax him out of rtirement - - I said if the Money was right he might come out of retirement -I think Jay Wright would be a sweet replacement. - His background speaks for it'self

Mar 18, 2023 04:18 PM #30

Will Arkansas drive the basket a lot today, thus getting a lot of FT opportunities, slowing down the game and creating creating foul problems for KU? I expect that to be the case. Wouldn’t surprise me to see KU use a zone defense a bit.

Mar 18, 2023 04:27 PM #31

I’m glad Howard played hard the entire game. It wasn’t one of those blowouts where the other team quit. KU kicked their butts. Seen too many times where KU gets a big head after the other team quits, this isn’t the case. Kansas should be ready to play today. I’d be mildly surprised if it’s as close as the spread suggests.

I have no doubt KU will be more then ready to play today. All were hearing is Arkansas, Arkansas , Arkansas - like they are the only team playing today. Arkansas themselves may not be saying anything negative publicly about KU-but media acts ike this is over before the ball is thrown up - That in it'self should be some inspiration - Ku has some NBA players themselves - Arkansas doesn't have the bigger dominat inside player over KJ all guys 6'7 - -6'8 gonna be physical - we have to be physical. - Not saying 100 % we win - But sure the hell not saying 100 % we gonna lose either, - Juan has to come out and play - be that key role we need

Mar 18, 2023 05:48 PM #33

Anyone else in Kansas keep getting the hog wild pit barbecue song stuck in their heads lol

Mar 18, 2023 05:48 PM #34

Nervous about today. Idk why. On paper we should take care of this. But not feeling good about it. Hoping the guys can calm my fears.

Lil perspective tho. No matter what happens we will still be the Reigning National Champions for a couple more weeks at the minimum

Mar 18, 2023 05:52 PM #35

I don't feel good about coach! Drs released him. Mind over matter. Said he did a lot of sitting at practice, he can do the same at the game. Maybe he's done coaching, period, that worried. We really need him today. I'm bummed.

Mar 18, 2023 05:55 PM #36

@Crimsonorblue22 ya it feels like the kind of game where the guys may need some "Self" motivation

Mar 18, 2023 05:56 PM #37

@Crimsonorblue22 the rumor mill is rolling like crazy that he is retiring when this is done. I find it hard to believe he’d just up and retire after not being on the bench. I think if he was done, he’d be there with the team.

Mar 18, 2023 05:57 PM #38

Certainly this sucks. Teams like Arkansas give Self difficulties in the tournament with their length and athletic abilities so it's hard not to think it will be even more difficult for Norm to win this. I know it's the players that ultimately have to make the plays but we all know the tremendous impact our coach has on a game and without him we are vulnerable.

Hoping our guys are just built different and overcome, adapt and play their hearts out. I can't imagine Jalen is going to let us down, he's been the ultimate competitor and I'm putting my faith in him rallying these guys to a big performance.

Mar 18, 2023 06:05 PM #39

Pure speculation. But if CS is done. Any. chance its IARP/sanction related? Perhaps unfavorable news in that regard pushing a health retirement prior to an uglier situation. Wouldn't think so because nobody involved into the corruption deal has gotten the proverbial hammer. But as I said. Speculation

Mar 18, 2023 06:10 PM #40

@cragarhawk I would think that probably wouldn’t be case just because they are counting these games towards Selfs records and would want to keep the wins.

Mar 18, 2023 06:51 PM #41

@kjayhawks terrible paranoid thoughts while waiting on this seemingly endless block of time till the tip.

Screw all this. We're gonna a win today. CS back for next week and all is right

Mar 18, 2023 07:04 PM #42

Now we get to hear Kellogg - -Barkley-all them idiots gonna talk about how they like Arkansas - really gonna defend Ku get down hill on his kill us on the boards- here we go ready ?

Mar 18, 2023 07:05 PM #43

Everybody talk about Arkansas defense - -we can play a little defense ourselves

He is a week removed from invasive surgery. I don't think he should coach next week if we win today.

Awesome Juan stat here.

Mar 18, 2023 07:52 PM #47

I am too nervous but I have to respect Coach's decision to take his health seriously and do what's best. I am forever a fan of the team that is up with a real challenge and I am here to support them.

We just gotta hope they have trouble they struggle shooting the ball tody -and got to hit the board

Mar 18, 2023 08:23 PM #62

I sure wish Self was coaching, his health be damned. Ater all, it would really help our team to worry about him every time they looked at the sideline.

Sorry, some people are just nucking futs!

Yes Yes!

JOE FROM HALF COURT

Mar 18, 2023 08:50 PM #147

Mar 18, 2023 08:50 PM #148

@StLJhawk it's Juan's 2nd

Yes was never going to keep Walsh from that.

Mar 18, 2023 08:51 PM #153

I like that we matched their junk three with an even junkier three

Mar 18, 2023 08:51 PM #154

We look pretty good

Mar 18, 2023 08:51 PM #155

Winning while missing shots. I’ll take it. Good first half of the first half.

Mar 18, 2023 08:52 PM #156

Defense has waned since the start - tough to keep that intensity all game...

Mar 18, 2023 08:52 PM #157

Gotta keep the energy. They don’t look like they will go away.

Mar 18, 2023 08:52 PM #158

Were not getting any defensive stops

Mar 18, 2023 08:52 PM #159

They definitely came ready to play

Mar 18, 2023 08:52 PM #160

What number is smith?

Mar 18, 2023 08:52 PM #161

Joe with a great shot but man his defense

Arkansas should have stayed in the SW conference and then become part of the Big 8/12

Just keep working it inside. And, communicate on defense...

Not sure about that one on Udeh.

Mar 18, 2023 08:59 PM #182

Eww

Mar 18, 2023 08:59 PM #183

No Udeh twice now

Mar 18, 2023 08:59 PM #184

That was actually a pretty good screen. Fin ref

Mar 18, 2023 09:00 PM #185

Refs suck. No Bill Self to worry about.

Mar 18, 2023 09:00 PM #186

Why bring Udeh out to set a screen 30 ft from the basket. He doesn't know how to do it without fouling...

Mar 18, 2023 09:00 PM #187

Hook

Mar 18, 2023 09:00 PM #188

That’s not a moving screen. First one was, but not that one

Mar 18, 2023 09:00 PM #189

Wow that's blatant

Mar 18, 2023 09:01 PM #190

I just went back and watched the Udeh screen. He did nothing wrong. Literally nothing wrong.

Whew guys , we have dodgeda couple of bullets, but the boys playing their ass off. - just got to stiffen the dam defense - -i think Arkansas has made it about 7 straight times - -let's go boys - - ROCK CHALK

They'll fix him

Mar 18, 2023 09:08 PM #228

They threw kj to the floor and are mad it was called.

Mar 18, 2023 09:09 PM #229

I'll clear this up for you announcers, he has shoving KJ with the body

Mar 18, 2023 09:09 PM #230

That's the trash talker before game, huh

Mar 18, 2023 09:09 PM #231

I believe in you Bobby, even if everyone else thinks youre a bum

Mar 18, 2023 09:09 PM #232

another phantom foul

Mar 18, 2023 09:09 PM #233

Announcers analyzing all bad calls against ARkansas but silent on the bad udeh call and the really bad mccullar call

Bull crap, he travelled before he "exploded to the basket"

It didn't look like Juando turned his ankle it just looked like he kind of jammed the heel or something

Mar 18, 2023 09:17 PM #263

Watched that drive over and over. Walsh changed his pivot foot when starting that drive. That neutralized our defender allowing him to drive.

Mar 18, 2023 09:17 PM #264

Did Juan step on a photographer foot?

Mar 18, 2023 09:17 PM #265

@jayballer67 he isn’t really a KU guy

Mar 18, 2023 09:17 PM #266

Kev has flat out stepped up like he did last year in the tourney against Duke

Our O ran all sorts of sets to start and that last Switching D up was good

Ugh. Bob

Nope, Bob. Pass the ball

Half way home guys - -half time. - Get the boys some rest , get ZACH'S ass back on the bench - -and pray that Cowgill can work a miracle with Juan

Mar 18, 2023 09:22 PM #288

Let’s hope Juan can return here, good half otherwise. Need to come out with that same intensity we started with fellas

Mar 18, 2023 09:24 PM #289

How’s it hanging? Sitting here in NWA watching at Gusano’s.

Been awhile.

Mar 18, 2023 09:24 PM #290

@kjayhawks yea 8 is not enough of a leave without Juan

Mar 18, 2023 09:24 PM #291

Our offense really looked bad that last 10 minutes. Gotta get the ball to Jwill and have to get Gradey some open looks

Mar 18, 2023 09:24 PM #292

@DCHawker give it to Kevin switch it up before half Norm

Mar 18, 2023 09:24 PM #293

This is the Arkansas of the recent games. Can't hit outside but can board and drive.

Mar 18, 2023 09:26 PM #294

Halftime crew talking about how KU has more than enough without Juan while showing highlights with Juan involved in every scoring play.

Mar 18, 2023 09:26 PM #295

Just realized our one made 3 was that one from Joe šŸ˜‚

Well we get Jalen back now in 2nd half

Mar 18, 2023 09:27 PM #299

We seem to be happy with 5 to 7 point leads and are successful but it's risky risky.

Mar 18, 2023 09:28 PM #300

Get through today, then KC Sprint Center?

still no update on Juan - -the longer it goes the worse I feel about his return

Mar 18, 2023 09:29 PM #304

If you consider no Juan last 3:07 and no Jwil the last 2 we held a lead with both on the bench

Mar 18, 2023 09:29 PM #305

Hmmm. Picked up old info.

Wildcats vs Wildcats šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø
Think Kentucky?

Mar 18, 2023 09:30 PM #307

The feeling by the team down here was KU played offense like Mizzou.

Mar 18, 2023 09:30 PM #308

might see some Zuby today with Udeh in foul trouble

Mar 18, 2023 09:30 PM #309

What even happened with Jalen getting a technical in the 1st half? I feel like that was a pretty big deal and they just ignored it

Mar 18, 2023 09:31 PM #310

Tiger Tiger game today too

Would have made the refs look bad to cover it.

Mar 18, 2023 09:31 PM #313

@KirkIsMyHinrich I agree. Announcers annoy the heck out of me when they miss things like that. I saw the ref do the double fist thing which is the signal for double foul and then one of them said it was a double tech.

No quick run to start the half by them.

They showed the ref do the double fists which is double foul, but announcers said it was a double tech.

Kevin barked at someone at the beginning of a TO.

Mar 18, 2023 09:35 PM #324

We've been on the downside of the foul count frequently this year, as today, 11-8. Listening to tv dudes you wouldn't know it because all you hear about is the bad calls going against Arkansas.

Mar 18, 2023 09:35 PM #325

1st four minutes of this 2nd half gonna be HUGE

Mar 18, 2023 09:36 PM #326

Whew fell asleep for halftime. Guess im feeling confident

Mar 18, 2023 09:36 PM #327

Play by play on ESPN says it was a tech on Jalen and Anthony Black.

Mar 18, 2023 09:37 PM #328

They ended up out rebounding us by 2 that half

Mar 18, 2023 09:37 PM #329

Juan warming up. Time for a legendary half from a wounded Juan.

Mar 18, 2023 09:37 PM #330

Juando sighting. He'll be extra crafty with the bad wheel.

Juan

I see Juan moving around oh please!

Welp - - Juan gonna try

Mar 18, 2023 09:38 PM #335

Worried Juan has glass ankles

Fouls are only thing keeping them in it

Mar 18, 2023 09:58 PM #429

Princeton let’s Mizzou back in right at the end of the half.

Mar 18, 2023 09:58 PM #430

Everytime we get up by double digits, here comes the garbage calls smh

Mar 18, 2023 09:58 PM #431

I could maybe see a foul before the shot but once he went to shoot zuby was straight vertical.

Mar 18, 2023 09:58 PM #432

we have to come up with a defense where we can guard - -5 - - -on - - -8

Mar 18, 2023 09:59 PM #433

They have taken 2 points off the half time score in a little more then 8 minutes - -somebody might want to guard Dumbo Davis

Mar 18, 2023 10:03 PM #449

@benshawks08 probably 8 minute mark you put Udeh back in. 4 minutes KJ

Mar 18, 2023 10:03 PM #450

Their leading scorer's got 3 fouls lets force the refs to send him to the bench like we have 2 guys with 4.

Mar 18, 2023 10:03 PM #453

Ok the zone was cute. No more

Mar 18, 2023 10:05 PM #462

Lmao zone? Bills going to have a real heart attack

Mar 18, 2023 10:05 PM #463

Play the starters now, get the lead to 15, then hang on if/when they foul out

Mar 18, 2023 10:05 PM #464

Zach has gotta sit. Weak.

Well boys heer we go

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #482

what is wrong with the arkansas fans? they look insane

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #483

Lane violation?

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #484

Jalen and Juan need to take over.

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #485

This is ridiculous

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #486

They muddied it up and we went soft this half

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #487

Gotta make the free throws

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #488

We got this

Mar 18, 2023 10:10 PM #489

Mar 18, 2023 10:11 PM #493

Put the starters in for the love of God

Mar 18, 2023 10:11 PM #494

Them making a run this half not unexpected. Now we need to answer

Mar 18, 2023 10:11 PM #495

Can one of seniors make a freethrow

Mar 18, 2023 10:12 PM #496

way to take that for the team Kev. Now make your freethrows.

Mar 18, 2023 10:12 PM #497

Free throws we’ve missed a ton and front ends

This is how you lose

Mar 18, 2023 10:12 PM #498

Arky free throw defense is amazing

Mar 18, 2023 10:12 PM #499

Needed that

Mar 18, 2023 10:12 PM #500

They call that, but not when we get grabbed EVERY SINGLE play

Wow juan big frickin stones

Mar 18, 2023 10:13 PM #504

Most Valuable Player!!!

Mar 18, 2023 10:14 PM #505

We are up 6 with seniors making freethrows, can’t blame the refs for that stupidity

Mar 18, 2023 10:14 PM #506

I hate these kind of games. I'm to old , can't take these single possession games

Mar 18, 2023 10:15 PM #507

So thats 5 on Kev?

Mar 18, 2023 10:15 PM #508

Or 4?

Mar 18, 2023 10:16 PM #509

Mar 18, 2023 10:17 PM #516

Juan not moving great.

Mar 18, 2023 10:17 PM #517

By Mitchell. Of course announcer questions that call but none of the questionable ones against us.

Mar 18, 2023 10:18 PM #518

Idk if he got him on the body?

Mar 18, 2023 10:18 PM #519

Finally seeking contact on the drive!!

Mar 18, 2023 10:18 PM #520

Do arkansas players even know what a foul is?

Mar 18, 2023 10:19 PM #521

Who is this guy and when did he graduate from ark?

Mar 18, 2023 10:19 PM #522

T his arse up

Mar 18, 2023 10:21 PM #534

Refs really want this to be about them.

Mar 18, 2023 10:21 PM #535

four now on Kev. We do NOT need him fouling out probably more than anyone

Mar 18, 2023 10:22 PM #536

McCullar should have tried to catch that ball he blocked

Mar 18, 2023 10:22 PM #537

Mar 18, 2023 10:27 PM #571

Juan layup and 10 second - come on kid step up

Kev manning up!

Gradey and Wilson close it out!!!

Free throws!

Mar 18, 2023 10:27 PM #572

Gonna be a freethrow contest, KJ 59% on the is 6/7 can the guys feed off that.

Mar 18, 2023 10:27 PM #573

@Crimsonorblue22 Shot Clock was on 20 as he crossed the line. Ref should look at that clock when making the determination if it's a 10 second call.

Mar 18, 2023 10:28 PM #574

The lineups in this game if it goes to OT will be hysterical

Mar 18, 2023 10:28 PM #575

Juan has had a good day but a couple very costly plays for sure

Mar 18, 2023 10:28 PM #576

@Kcmatt7 i will not be laughing

Mar 18, 2023 10:29 PM #577

Debo 4 fouls?

Mar 18, 2023 10:29 PM #578

swear I'm more nervous now than I was in the damn championship game

Mar 18, 2023 10:29 PM #579

@Crimsonorblue22 yes. And Johnson. Black has 3

Mar 18, 2023 10:29 PM #580

Man up jalen.

Mar 18, 2023 10:30 PM #581

Jwil has not had a good half

Mar 18, 2023 10:30 PM #582

This crew has been frustrating to say the least

that was good D

Mar 18, 2023 10:31 PM #585

Stepped out then two ark players knock it out. Glad we got the stop

Mar 18, 2023 10:31 PM #586

Not sure what league they are from.

Physical games mess with free throw shooting. Gotta make them it is going to decide the game

Mar 18, 2023 10:33 PM #600

Upperclassmen this half 3/9 from the line if we lose that’s why

Mar 18, 2023 10:33 PM #601

More than the selection committee, refs, announcers, Bills heart or juans ankle want us to win anyway

Mar 18, 2023 10:39 PM #625

Just manufactured by utterly horrible officiating throughout the game.

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #626

You watch they will turn it over

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #627

Terrible D second half, missed fts.

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #628

Joe tip it from wilson

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #629

It’s been a pleasure

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #630

Choked no way around it.

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #631

Nothing has actually worked out of the timeouts.

If anything it creates an opportunity for Arkansas to steal the ball

Mar 18, 2023 10:40 PM #632

This one aint on the refs folks. Maybe the first half a bit.

BUT IT'S NOT OVER

Mar 18, 2023 10:41 PM #633

Remember Mario Chalmers

Mar 18, 2023 10:41 PM #634

Gradey will save us

Mar 18, 2023 10:41 PM #635

right idea, i guess

Mar 18, 2023 10:42 PM #636

Needed a 3 shoots a 2

Mar 18, 2023 10:42 PM #637

Jalen had a no show 2nd half

Mar 18, 2023 10:42 PM #638

Looked like Wilson had some space for a 3..

Mar 18, 2023 10:42 PM #639

Fouling should work for them to win this

Mar 18, 2023 10:42 PM #640

Insane from Norm

definitely.

Got one more chance

Worst one to foul

no time outs

Mar 18, 2023 10:43 PM #645

Now JW makes them both, a little late

Mar 18, 2023 10:44 PM #646

No rest for Dejuan all 2nd half.

Mar 18, 2023 10:44 PM #647

Done now

Mar 18, 2023 10:44 PM #648

See yall next season

Mar 18, 2023 10:44 PM #649

11 point lead blown. Had no answer for their run. Ugly

Mar 18, 2023 10:44 PM #650

Should've passed it

Mar 18, 2023 10:45 PM #651

Hollow points late Jalen!

Mar 18, 2023 10:45 PM #652

Enjoyed being here. Not one to blame anyone. It's a team effort that came up short. Feel for them. Now I can work on my garden.

Mar 18, 2023 10:45 PM #653

Just a complete choke job. Missed free throws were the main culprit

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #654

Missed free throws that’s the game, they made theirs

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #655

Also, what the hell were they doing goin for two?

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #656

Well it was a great season up to this game, sorry it had to end like this. See y’all next season

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #657

Act like they been there

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #658

Can't make them when you need to, make miss them when you need to.

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #659

Norm < Bill

Mar 18, 2023 10:46 PM #660

Your shoot the 3 the first time not Wilson drive left and goes for the 2 with 12 seconds

Idiots

Juan was okay but messed up on lob to Gradey, 10 second call ect had some great plays

Gradey was AWFUL

Mar 18, 2023 10:47 PM #661

Miss after miss at the line. Almost Syracuse like

Mar 18, 2023 10:47 PM #662

What a bunch of d bags.

Mar 18, 2023 10:47 PM #663

@kuballin10 yeah not going for the three is baffling

Mar 18, 2023 10:47 PM #664

@HawkChamp it’s idiot thought process that with 12 seconds you can still get a quick bucket

Basketball hasn’t caught up to intelligence yet

Mar 18, 2023 10:47 PM #665

Disappointing end to a great season.

Mar 18, 2023 10:47 PM #666

Oh well, it was a tough stinging loss. Devo out scored us easily.
Love you guys see you later.

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #667

Never got the ball to Grady.

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #668

Wish I could say we got beat by the better team

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #669

Norm got completely outcoached down the stretch. Self was missed.

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #670

Going for a 2 with 8 seconds left was insanely stupid. Every player had some stupid plays the last 12 minutes.

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #671

We did not

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #672

Enough with the choke comments. They were missing their coach. We kind of knew all year they were not the team they were last year. Arkansas made some plays down the stretch.

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #673

Well, that sucked. Great season once again. Lots of things worked against in this game. Still, once again a great season by a great team, and a great coach. Shout out to Norm for filling in so admirably. The most important thing is Bill's health. We'll be back next year!

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #674

Pissed that one away at the line. Had every opportunity and then some to win.

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #675

We win that one with Bill. Just didn’t make enough good plays down the stretch

Mar 18, 2023 10:48 PM #676

What a completely manufactured ripoff

Mar 18, 2023 10:49 PM #677

@FarmerJayhawk Bill can’t force the guys to make free throws

Mar 18, 2023 10:49 PM #678

The worst thing is my bracket is toast!!

Mar 18, 2023 10:49 PM #679

It’s hard when you lose a game like that with silly mistakes. First loss for Juan when scoring 10+ points.

Mar 18, 2023 10:49 PM #680

@kuballin10 we get another bucket with Bill. Period.

Mar 18, 2023 10:49 PM #681

18-25 with 3 missed front ends of 1 and 1’s

Mar 18, 2023 10:49 PM #682

NCAA, get a real crew who know how to handle a sh*t show of hacks

Mar 18, 2023 10:50 PM #683

Pedigrew - -made call afer call after call agisnt us. - that 5th foul on Kevin the fucker dipped his shoulder into Kvin and of course they call the foul on Kevin

Mar 18, 2023 10:50 PM #684

@wissox I am in a bracket just with my brother. I had KU beating Duke. Money down the tubes!

Mar 18, 2023 10:50 PM #685

@FarmerJayhawk had one with the lob at start of game from Juan to Gradey…simple bounce pass is a layup

Bill can draw it up hopefully we’d execute but no guarantees

Mar 18, 2023 10:50 PM #686

I tend to think Bill gives us the edge. Did we get a bucket on any inbounds plays?

Mar 18, 2023 10:50 PM #687

Just disappointed that bad luck had a factor in it.

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #688

There is no free throw more guaranteed to go in than the one you need to miss. Why it’s so hard I’ll never understand lol

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #689

Miss a bunch, then make when you try to miss!

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #690

Self would have substituted before a 11 pt lead evaporated.

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #691

@Kcmatt7 right?

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #692

Alot of lazy defense the second half led to getting beat at the line as well. Also shouldn't discount the fact we should go into half up 15 plus on missed bunnies, etc.

Disappointed that they got beat by a team that just had more want to when it mattered most.

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #693

Yeah missed three front ends of 1-and-1. That’s a lot of points on the floor

Mar 18, 2023 10:51 PM #694

People blaming the refs are silly, we could’ve had the ball down 1 if we just rebounded. Or win by 5 if upperclassmen made the free ones.

Mar 18, 2023 10:52 PM #695

@mayjay I had KU-Purdue in both of mine!!

Mar 18, 2023 10:52 PM #696

@Kcmatt7 they knew all the inbounds plays - no lobs for this squad

Gradey was bad that’s why we lost today
Free throws as well

They were determined to stop Jalen and other guys like KJ, Kevin and Juan did step up which was nice to see

Mar 18, 2023 10:52 PM #697

Shoot. We win this with the last set of refs. It was just a perfect storm of a decent team playing against a short handed Jayhawk team. Gradey’s disappearing act is why you don’t rely on freshmen. Not much of a KU legacy. Xavier like.

Mar 18, 2023 10:52 PM #698

you hit the front end of your free throw - -we wouldn't be looking for reasons why we lost

Mar 18, 2023 10:52 PM #699

I have never seen a coach take the shirt off and chant to the crowd, a bit awkward

He also would have been in the refs asses about how that game was called.

There is so much that goes into being a HC. Working the refs. Calling plays. Changing how you defend screens. All that good stuff.

Norm, for as great of an assistant as he is, is an assistant for a reason.

Mar 18, 2023 10:53 PM #701

The refs didn't call 2 clear fouls on Kevin before. It evens out.

Mizzou in trouble is nice...

Mar 18, 2023 10:53 PM #702

@kjayhawks why was Joe in the game!!! Mj rice grabs that or anyone bigger

Put in Zuby or Ernest and have kj at 4. Get board and call timeout make subs it’s game point as Bill would say as we would have been down 1

Mar 18, 2023 10:53 PM #703

Jaun was great overall. Ya Gradeys scoring was a big factor(lack there of) idk why Norm pulls him immediately after he hits his first from outside

Mar 18, 2023 10:53 PM #704

@mayjay need ksu to lose as well

It wasn't lazy defense, it was foul issues meaning they couldn't be aggressive anymore.

Mar 18, 2023 10:54 PM #706

How many points do we think Self was worth here? At least 10?

Mar 18, 2023 10:54 PM #707

@Texas-Hawk-10 once again we'll have to disagree. That was definitely not the inspired defense we saw in the first 10-15 min of the game in my opinion

Mar 18, 2023 10:54 PM #708

Come on can we at least get a mention of the Self missing factor

Mar 18, 2023 10:54 PM #709

@BShark nah that’s just homerism

I watched live ou almost beat us in Allen and Bill gave up calling plays it was post Jalen and throw it to him hope for a foul

You can call plays all u want doesn’t mean guys execute

I’m beginning to question what exactly Norm brings to the team. It sure isn’t for lineup suggestions or set play input or really anything tangible as for in game adjustments.

Mar 18, 2023 10:55 PM #711

@BShark at least 2

Mar 18, 2023 10:55 PM #712

I think we win with Self there I think his outbounds plays are worth a few buckets

@dylans it’s different being the guy managing everything than looking for one thing. Jmo.

A lot of guys are great assistants and otro le beach coaches. In all sports.

@kuballin10 I agree. But I doubt it happens

Mar 18, 2023 10:57 PM #722

@kjayhawks we throw it to a big at the elbow from underneath - teams scout that stuff so no

Mar 18, 2023 10:58 PM #723

Seriously, a top 5 coach ever missing and the heads dont even mention it in their post game analysis.

This team was talent deficient whether people want ti believe that or not. Really good college players, but overall they weren’t deep and lacked an ā€œeliteā€ guy imo.

@kuballin10 Happy you finally have a reason to comment here. I guess we should all tail between legs and say you were right all along. Maybe you should apply for the coaching job if Bill's heart can't take it any more!

Mar 18, 2023 11:02 PM #743

@mayjay who is ā€œturningā€ on the team?

Mar 18, 2023 11:02 PM #744

Arkansas is great in March and has been under Muclemsan( not sure how he spells it) they could easily make the final four.

Mar 18, 2023 11:03 PM #745

Saying realistic things about what happened today isn't turning on anyone. That's just silly. We all watched the game

Mar 18, 2023 11:03 PM #746

@kuballin10 coaching. Lots of face guarding Brady with no movement to free him. Outside his crashing the boards never really played to get him going

Mar 18, 2023 11:03 PM #747

I don’t think anyone is turning on anyone guys, tough way to lose shitting ourselves but it ain’t the first or the last time it will happen unfortunately

Mar 18, 2023 11:04 PM #748

The 10 second call by Harris was killer. Also how can these coaches not correct the offensive screen fouls that they have been plagued by all year? Unbelievable.

Mar 18, 2023 11:04 PM #749

Do I think we win with Bill there? Yes. Could we and should we have won without him? Hell yes. I hope at some point his teams start shooting free throws better.

Mar 18, 2023 11:04 PM #750

Overall honestly one of the funnest teams I've ever watched. I think they had a high ceiling but definitely didn't get there. Always a sad day when it's over

Also the missed rebound down 1 when Council missed the free throw. That’s another huge self inflicted blunder

Mar 18, 2023 11:07 PM #757

@Kcmatt7 UT at home and Baylor second half at home. Probably what I'd consider their ceiling. But like CS says. Teams will usually play around 5 games below who they are, 5 above who they are, and the rest are true to who they are. I'd called today one if the below obviously

Mar 18, 2023 11:07 PM #758

Maybe it’s the 10 second call late but that so reminiscent of Michigan in 2013. We had the ball up 4 with just over two minutes to go and had a ten second call. That’s so tough for me to handle from 2 really good guards that had mental lapses when you just can’t.

@Bwag that’s not coaching - guys have said it all year he doesn’t move well without the ball and he can’t create off the dribble against better athletes

It’s been discussed all year on 247 and Bill has mentioned it. We run stuff for him

To make matters worse KSU or UK will be in the sweet 16.

Well that sucks. pretty pathetic second half with Harris dinged and KJ out.

Seemed obvious the defense let up with Harris hobbled. And he gave up a few chances at the rim he usually would take.

Highly disappointed in this outcome. Jalen with only NINE shot attempts. that's bad.

Just didn't need to lose this game. highly winnable.

Eff.

@wissox nah only 1 team wins it all. Not gloating when we lose I’m a fan. Juan was good enough for us to win hit huge 3 to get us off 51.

We had a team good enough with matchups and hof coach

10 second call and 4 point run that ensued hurt

Rebound when ark guy missed free throw was huge

Bill would win that game. Hopefully it lights another fire and he dominates the portal and we dominate next year.

When you already have 4 fouls, you cannot play as aggressive as you want to, especially with how the refs called today, because you will foul out.

Whether you like him or not, Eric Musselman is a very good college coach. The only year he's missed the NCAA Tournament was his first season at Nevada, and even then he won the CBI, and he's taken Arkansas to back to back Elite 8's.

Mar 18, 2023 11:49 PM #788

Refs not to blame for this game. We gave up 45 points in the second half. We missed FTs (esp. front-ends) and they made theirs. RBs were even at the half - they dominated in the 2d half, esp. with ORBs - ended up with 10 more shots. 3 TOs on Udeh's illegal screens. End of half and late game execution was not typical - hate to lay that on coaching, but....there is a reason HCBS has the record he does in games decided by less than 5 points. Adds up to a loss in a game that was eminently winnable, even if not playing that well...

There were some questionable calls, but KU missed a bunch of FT's, including the front end of several 1 and 1's, and Norm made zero adjustments on Davis in the second half.

There's a reason why Norm hasn't gotten another head coaching job since he was fired from St. John's.

Mar 18, 2023 11:53 PM #790

@Texas-Hawk-10 this we see similar. Norm is a great dude and almost perfect assistant to CS imo. But not a great HC. And not an HC at all anymore for good reason. But also not the reason, definitely not the sole reason we lost this game.

That 10 second call was marginal. They also called 5 seconds that was marginal.

Meanwhile, Arkansas guys were stepping on the back line all the time... Not to mention all the wrapping, holding, pushing and other illegal contact. Then they call illegal screen twice and WTH was that double technical?

Not a masterpiece. KU didn't play great, but they were disadvantaged largely because of horrible officiating in the first half and selective calls in the second half.

Mar 19, 2023 12:02 AM #793

@bskeet we can argue all evening I suppose but the players and coaches have to have accountability if the refs do it’s only fair. The zebras don’t miss shots, passes or forget to switch leading to wide open layup (think that happened 5 times today). That’s the KSU way of thinking IMO. Too good to lose on their own accord.

Stop with the blaming the refs. All 3 moving screens on Udeh were good calls. Udeh moved too early on the first one and was late to his spot on the other two. The 10 second call was also a good call. That's not a judgment call, Harris was slow bringing the ball up, that was purely on Harris, and not the first time Harris has turned it over like that because of a lack of awareness.

Mar 19, 2023 12:05 AM #795

Bottom line is & it's simple. We can ty to make all the excuses you want - -try to find things but the bottom line is really simple.

Even if Jalen & Kevin hit the FRONT END of their one and one free throws - - not even hitting the back end of these - -yet if Jalen & Kevin hit the front end of those- - that's TWO more points and we win - PERIOD pllain and simple, you hit your freebies - -you win

@bskeet if on positive notes, KJ was great in limited minutes and stepped up from the line.

Mar 19, 2023 02:15 AM #803

@bskeet One was a BIG ref that does a lot of Badger games.

Mar 19, 2023 02:24 AM #804

@Crimsonorblue22 @Texas-Hawk-10 I thought it was a good call, so I went back to check. Here are two pictures of the call. In both, the shot clock is showing 20 seconds (but doesn't show tenths of a second). Harris's feet are both clearly in the backcourt in the first picture, and his left foot is clearly down in the front court in the second (and the ref is starting to signal the violation). But the shot clock is still showing 20 seconds.

Time obviously elapsed as he stepped over the line. If 20 is showing, I assume it means a few tenths more than 20 are left, and thus less than 10 have elapsed before that foot was down.

So the ref was wrong, by a few tenths perhaps. But it is really so close, and coaches never want a player to let a ref make that call.

I'm sure the college kids can find some sorta drink game based on how quickly Udeh fouls when he gets in the game! ha. I like his energy. He's just a young big. Sasha was a fouling machine for nearly four years, so time to grow.

Mar 19, 2023 02:41 AM #806

Well, a strange boxscore today. You could glance and think KU would have won. Higher FG%, more 3s made. Both good signs.

But a closer looks tells the story IMO.

Arkansas took 8 more shots than KU.

Arkansas had a big advantage on offensive boards -- 15-7.

And those stats likely lead to the difference in the game: 2nd chance points -- 15-2.

Arkansas also outrebounded KU 36-29.

Damn! i'm still pissed!

Mar 19, 2023 02:45 AM #807

And i admit i need to go back to watch the final few possessions of the game, but WTF happened??? Why did Jalen choose to go for a 2 pt basket when we were down 3 with seconds to go??? Did they intentionally foul us up top before a shot could be taken?

Mar 19, 2023 02:50 AM #808

@mayjay I wanted to see when they started the clock.

Mar 19, 2023 02:53 AM #809

@rockchalkjayhawk yep that’s the most frustrating part for me as the famous coach Green quote ā€œThey were who we thought they were and we let them get awayā€ I’ve been saying all day they lived on the offensive glass and we did good in the first half. The intensity just wasn’t the same after the first 5 minutes of the second half. Guys standing and watching. Maybe the most maddening part is their one free throw miss was huge bonus for them. I’ve watched that play 5 times Juan and KJ both just stood there not reacting to the miss. Both guys had a better angle but didn’t move towards the ball! You have to attack the ball and go get it.

Mar 19, 2023 03:04 AM #810

@kjayhawks I literally said to my Dad we better rebound this he’s missing the second one….and KJ and Joe couldn’t get it done as Walsh’s 8 foot arms somehow made a play

That was the biggest play in my opinion. We rebound it and have ball down 1 with what 39 seconds….or less we were sitting pretty

Mar 19, 2023 03:06 AM #811

@rockchalkjayhawk Bill does same thing takes 2’s as long as you can and it’s stupid. Your banking on quick free 2, them maybe missing a free throw but if not your back down 3 same position with less time to get a shot

Like nfl and passing caught up via analytics eventually these idiot coaches and announcers will say shoot the 3 with 15 seconds left. You put yourself in a position where you flat out just need to hit a big shot otherwise 9/10 you will lose doing the quick 2, foul and hope they miss crap

Mar 19, 2023 03:38 AM #812

Anything can happen vs any team within a point or 2 with a minute or less to go. Those games happen. Sometimes when they shouldn't. This was a shouldn't. It never should have been that close to have to worry about it. That's just the truth and we all know it. Players know it, coaches know it. It sucks. But it's not gonna change

The reason to go for the quick 2 is because it creates more possessions which increases the chances of an opponent screwing up. Shooting a desperation 3 early that's likely to miss and create a long rebound and runout for the opponent.

Extending games as long as possible does maximize the winning percentage. Every coach is going to have their personal preference on when you need to change the thought process and take the desperation 3. I don't know the analytics on it, but it's probably somewhere around the 10 second mark, but there's going to be other variables involved such as timeouts left, foul issues, and stuff like that. The analytics are also why Self doesn't foul up 3 with under 5 seconds left because not fouling has a slightly higher winning % than fouling does.

@kuballin10 I thought Joe knocked it out of kj's (?) hands when he should've been blocking out the thrower.

I see folks say that Norm is a great assistant coach. What no one says is what they specifically find to be good about his coaching. What does Norm actually bring to the table? He doesn’t seem to be a big recruiter. He is certainly not head coach material - very little in game adjustments, no use of timeouts during an 11-0 run, etc. the evidence of him being a poor head coach is overwhelming by both record and eye test; what does he bring as an assistant?

I honestly never gave Norm much thought before his interim spat, but try as I might I can’t come up with what he brings to the table. Past assistants we could see what they did - Manning was good with bigs. Dooley was good at defensive principles. Snacks procured things. Townson is the bag man. Case seems to be a good recruiter and guards coach.

Kurtis in addition to recruiting is also our shot doctor iirc

Norm recruits well. Pulled Zuby (a Nike kid with offers from TX and Ark) and got our foot in the door with Elmarko for Bill to close. I think Bill's personal involvement and not banging the drum at Arrowhead to make sure we got Elmarko says a lot. Never know until they get here but I think he is starter good from the jump. The other two current 23 commits not so much. Those are just recent examples. Historically Norm was key with Embiid, Dotson, Oubre etc

Case is on his way to being an elite recruiter, potentially. Very hard worker. Was big in locking up Chris Johnson early, took McDowell away from Wake Forest at the 11th hour while slow rolling a bit previously. Doing massive work in the 24 class.

I don't have major complaints with our coaching staff. Very short list of guys I'd take and make room for. Bryan Hodgson might be the entire list and I think he is on his way to a HC job.

Mar 19, 2023 01:08 PM #818

@kuballin10

I somewhat agree. I think wilson around that screen had the potential to shoot a 3 instead of drive. I think everyone gets the reasoning for the quick 2 etc. also I think we’ve all seen people force a bad 3 point look. Generally speaking I agree though under 15 second you should go 3 if you can get that look. I don’t know how many times they say get the quick 2 but it’s not always that easy. The guy misses an awkward drive or it takes too long to get that quick 2. Or they get fouled and miss the free throws from the drive…..Ku in general did run the play correctly. Here’s the thing though after you make the shot/free throws, you can’t just let the star player whose made a ton of free throws just catch the ball so easily. Bc you essentially are giving them back the two points. After wilson Made his free throw. Without having to be freed up on a screen their best player just caught the ball so quickly. Poor execution by ku!!!…… in my feeling with this team they should have gone 3 to tie but oh well….. also not subbing in a second big on that crucial missed rebound on the free throw near the end was frustrating

Mar 19, 2023 01:23 PM #819

@dylans @BShark i agree, though have followed much less of who is involved with whom, that Norm is a good piece of the puzzle and our staff is complete and solid. I didnt feel that way after Danny left before Dooley returned,. Our staff is giving Bill everything he needs right now. It was just very bad luck Bill had to be out.

And, I have enjoyed the fact we didnt have to find some fault in our head coach this year, as much as I didnt want to lose.

I am just amazed no one has mentioned our numerous stupid fouls. McCullar 80 ft from the basket gets his 4th, Udeh forgot how to set picks, KJ trying to body a guy away, Joe
or Pettiford drives right into someone after passing for a layup.... Our freshman big seemed panicky, our POY wasn't getting open. Way too many missed FTs. And our PG hobbled. Had to play Ejiafor and Zach, neither of whom could get anything done. Our backup little guards just ran around kind of mindlessly. 5 pts, 0 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal in 15 mins of PT.

During the entire game we seemed lost when Ark played like a longer version of Shaka's "Havoc" team. We didn't see that combo of size/length/agility and aggression in the Big 12. We actually got sped up and the fouls crippled our normal game. When DjH lost his go to guy KJ, he wasn't able to find anyone who could make a basket. 1 assist for him in the 2nd half.

All the people saying Norm didn't adjust in the 2nd half...how would you know when the players make so many crucial mistakes?

Sometimes, like chess, the winner in bb is the one who makes the next to the last mistake.

All that said....I loved this team for overachieving so entertainingly all year. All teams that lose have had issues bringing them down. I won't remember yesterday, though. I will remember the comebacks, the beaming smiles, the pride in a NC last year, and that type of thing. Yeah, we lost yesterday...and the sun rose today and I got to see it for yet another day!

@bskeet dude is an @$&hat

I don’t want him anywhere near our program

Classless

Really? Come on. We don't need such sanctimony here. I'm venting. Doesn't mean I'm classless.

The comment was about Arkansas coach not @bskeet

Sorry @bskeet if it came across towards you. You are good in my book not that anyone cares

@kuballin10 Thank you so much for clarifying that. Hey, I care!

We agree 100% about Musselman. The shirtless antics are not a great look for an institution of higher learning.

What will he do when he wins a really meaningful game?

Haha no clue what he will do but guarantee you he won’t drop his drawers because nobody wants to see that šŸ˜‚

I love our coaches and their class. Bill would never do that even when he was younger and Leipold would never do what the idiot fball coach at mu did at the ball game

Has Bill Self released a statement about the game or had an interview? Can’t find one…

Mar 19, 2023 08:56 PM #832

Probably with the team.. but yeah, it's been quiet.

Still hurt for the team. They didn't want to end it there.

I am glad Marcus Adams reclassified!

Just be glad he’s named muscleman and not Richard.
