Hey guys I know it's not the NCAA BUT our Ladies won their 2nd round NIT game tonight against hated MISSERY women. Showing once again Ladies - Men Missery can't play with our people. - -KU beats Missery tonight 75 - - -47 - just kick the lady butts off the court.

KU now plays Nebraska in the third round at the Phog - - T Jackson broke her own record she set last year logging her - -96 block of the Season, AND her And Z Frankling both coming back for super Senior Season - Frankin scored 21 -way to kick some TIGER TAIL LADIES-- ROCK CHALK

Great win!

Awesome!

Nebraska won the 1st meeting in Lincoln in triple OT to hand KU their first loss on the season back in December. Time to get some payback.

Great job KU Women.

Very true , now we get that chance for pay back at our place

KU beat Nebraska by 9 tonight to move to the WNIT quarterfinals.

Still playing at home?

Still playing at home?

Tonight was in AFH. The quarterfinal game is TBD. KU will play the winner of Arkansas/Texas Tech who play tomorrow night in Lubbock.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Hopefully it’s Arkansas. We owe them one after taking out football and basketball.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I knew tonight.

Well we Beat Mizzery, - -Tonight we beat Nebraska. - Really glad probably the two best players Frankling and Jackson BOTH coming back next year too. - Jackson a beast last I knew she had broke her own record for blocks in a Season with 96 -- the human eraser lol- -6'6 Center really good- - Frankling our guard pretty dam good too.. KU got some decent players

Rely on starters tho, no bench, same as Men's team

no your wwrong , they have some really good bench pieces

The ladies will be playing Sunday after noon against apparently our nemesis in sports Arkansas. FB lost the bowl game by one point and obviously the MCB lost by a point last weekend. Can the women buck the trend here?

Football lost by 2 points. Next logical step is the game goes on for so long they have to declare it a tie.

They pretty much only go 6 deep. The team averages 73 ppg and the starters account for 63 ppg. Their bench doesn't provide much.

@jayballer67 Check out stats of bench players

@Texas-Hawk-10 yep lost by 2 in Football either way hoping the ladies have a little better outcome

eh I don't necessarily agre about all that. I still think their bench is adequate - I've watched everyone of their games and haven't been disappointed in their play

people get all wrapped up in these dam stats. - There is ALOT of different phases to a game other then just scoring. - -Again I've seen enough of the bench players to know they are fine - They are not like the men's feeble bench

This was a team that was expected to finish top half of the Big 12 and make the NCAA Tournament with a fairly high seed. The lack of a bench was a big part in the failure to meet those expectations and why they're in the WNIT instead.

not going to arg--their bench is very doable. - -Chatzileonti -Avg 26.6 pg game 5.9 rpg- Mayberry part time starter - -part time bench - -pretty dam good. Strom decent. A big reason also was when Kirksgeiter went down and missed time-some other like always was poor Coaching- I for one am very happy with how the bench has helped - -they gonna be fine

Chatzileonti hasn't played since mid-January. Mayberry has started 28 games, and became a starter in game 3 and started until she got hurt against TCU in the Big 12 tournament. She was not a part time starter. Holly Kersgeiter missed 3 games in February due to injury. Strom was the only bench player playing good minutes this season once Chatzileonti got injured amd she has averaged 2.7 ppg this year. That's terrible for being the only bench player playing real minutes (17 mpg).

In KU's last 15 games, they've got double digit points from the bench four times. They also had four games where they got 0 points from the bench. 5.5 ppg from the bench isn't good no matter what you think and that's what KU has gotten from their bench in the last 15 games. Lack of a bench is why the ladies are in the WNIT instead of the NCAA Tournament and why they couldn't beat 1 win TCU in the Big 12 tournament.

This is an argument worth having. Can we repeat everything another time, please? 🙄

Go look at the actual box scores if you think I'm full of shit about the women's bench contributing basically nothing.

@Crimsonorblue22 Should have made popcorn. Bets on who gets the last word?

@mayjay @Crimsonorblue22 I’m just happy to see an argument that I’m not in lol

@mayjay I'd win, no you win! I just want KU gals to win. The other doesn't mean crap! Takes a better man to stop!

@Crimsonorblue22 Reminds me of Duck Soup (Marx Bros). Hail Freedonia!

Hurley is an acting coach!

Look as you can se there are people on here that don't want to se a constant back and forth , and I actually don't want to continue it's pointless you got your opinion so just run with that and well call it a day , this is crazy . I knew when I got up this morning you would have SOME reply, but I'm done I got to check on our possible transfer portal and more important things. So your right, ok I'm done thnaks have a great day

2:00 this afternoon, Ladies got Arkansas -think it's time for a little Jay Hawk pay back. - -Good Luck Ladies

@jayballer67 They sure know how to maximize viewership...NOT.

boy that's the truth lol. - -I hear ya

Our Ladies doing really well up 38-19 at the half

The ladies headed to the final four Beating Arkansas

The ladies beat Arkansas 78-64 -- kinda rough 2nd half but got it done. - -Jackson with three more blocks -- 22 points amd 11 rebounds . - -Holly Kirksgeiter with 25 led the way. - will play either Washington or Oregon in the final 4- -WOO - - HOO - - WE BEAT ARKANSAS

Great job by KU Women.

Where's the final 4?

AFH

@Crimsonorblue22 said in KU Ladies tourney time:

Where's the final 4?

I just checked. typed in info asking for information on womens WNIT. - -It said Semi-Finals March - - 28-29 in Las Vegas. - -Will be able to watch of CBS.Com but must have cable provide or satellite

Went to KU Athleteics , and it said information about the KU match up would come out later tonight

Great win for the ladies, obviously wanted them to get a second straight NCAA bid but this with hopefully pay dividends for the program getting more practice for the younger ladies. Kinda the same thought process for the younger guys on the football team getting an extra month to practice.

Not to change the subject yet why haven’t we played in the men’s preseason NIT in so long?

@kjayhawks Is there a tournament called that anymore? The island where were last year, Orlando, and Maui have become the biggies in the fall rotation.

@wissox for sure Maui and the battle for Atlantis seem to be the big ones. The NIT is still there just don’t believe we have played in it since Roy was here.

@kjayhawks We won it in 2018. But the format is different now, with only 4 teams going to NY this year. They are considered reg season games, and we already do the Champions thing. Baylor is supposed to be in it this November, I think. Called the Tip Off Classic or something.

@mayjay I forgot about 2018 apparently

@kjayhawks said in KU Ladies tourney time:

@mayjay I forgot about 2018 apparently

I did, too. I just like looking things up! Someone told me once, "Google is your friend" and, well, I was lonely and needing a friend, and now we're best buds!

@jayballer67 gals are playing at home again, wed. I think.

Oh ok , I wasn't 100 % sure just going off the web site I had found - -thanks

Big night for the Ladies tonight. - -Simple we win, were in the Championship of the WNIT. - -Should have a really good crowd , had like 4,600 last game. - GOOD LUCK LADIES. - -ROCK CHALK - -tip off in like 5 minute on ESPN Plus

Lady Jayhawks doing well. - -Up 30-16 at the half - -one more half to go- - Let's go ladies

Good job!

Impressive win. Probably should've been in the NCAA tourney. NEXT YEAR

@DanR said in KU Ladies tourney time:

Impressive win. Probably should've been in the NCAA tourney. NEXT YEAR

they was surprised they wasn't there this year. But getting beat in the 1st round of the Big 12 tourney was a killer. - Good chance all 5 come back next year. I know Jackson and Frankling are for sure.

KU has Columbia Saturday at 4:30 I believe a the phog. - -Nice crowd tonight. ROCK CHALK

@DanR said in KU Ladies tourney time:

Impressive win. Probably should've been in the NCAA tourney. NEXT YEAR

They were a bubble team going into the Big 12 Tournament and lost their first game to 1-17 TCU and looked god awful in that game. That's why they didn't make the NCAA Tournament this year.

the sad part of that opening round loss to TCU- - - was that they had just beaten them the last game of the Season by 22

Well 25 minutes till tip against Columbia for the Womens WNIT Championship. - We have had the luxury of playing all out games at home. - one more to go- Good luck Ladies- - play tough

These women are fun to watch. They play pretty good ball, too.

Lol. Just playin- this is good basketball.

We are ROLLING!

Columbia a really good team - -25-8 on the Season BUT our Ladies win it all and end up 25 -11 GREAT JOB

Great Crowd - - LOUD - -11,701 there good to see support

Does WNIT get a banner?

@mayjay said in KU Ladies tourney time:

Does WNIT get a banner?

kinda wondering , might be nice if they did. - They deserve some reward .- would be deserved if they did

I don't think at Kansas you hang that even if there is a banner... sorry

Is this Jackson's last yr? She's so good at posting up!

KU Women, Great work.

@cragarhawk because the KU women’s team has such a storied history? - do they have a single post season banner?

@dylans couldn't say if they do or not. Probably not. Doesn't change the fact that it's a consolation tournament.

Great for them on winning it, but the best thing about it is the 3-5 extra games they got to play depending on how the actual tournament would have went had they been selected.

Hang it in the practice facility perhaps? Idk

@cragarhawk They don’t have the same history nor standard as the men’s team. They have banners for conference championships and those mean even less.

@cragarhawk If it was the men’s team I’d fully agree. In fact I would be kinda ticked they didn’t decline the invite.

I'm against a banner not that my opinion matters on it. 69th best team in the country woohoo.

@BShark said in KU Ladies tourney time:

I disagree about the 69th ranking. Of the 32 automatic bids to the tourney, KU women were ranked higher than 23 of the automatic bids. WAY higher than most of them.

Net ranking at the end of the reg season was 37.

Ehh they could slide it into one of the two girls conference champions banners. The guys still proudly display a Missouri valley champs banner. Not much red in the rafters - the girls aren’t very good and never have been.

@BShark said in KU Ladies tourney time:

There is A LOT of other womens teams that would of given anything to still be playing. -This team has come a long ways from what they use to be. Better chance then not all 5 coming back next year. They are better then what you think

@Crimsonorblue22 said in KU Ladies tourney time:

Is this Jackson's last yr? She's so good at posting up!

Could be - -BUT from wht I've hard all 5 very easily coming back. - Her And Franklin quite a duo

KU men have only been to the NIT twice. '68 reached the title game, lost to Dayton. '69 lost in the first round. 3-2 record.

I was surprised KU never went back in the days when the NIT was more prestigious and even considered a better tourney than the early NCAA fest. But since P. Allen was one of the luminaries pushing for the NCAA, it wouldn't have made sense to accept a bid to the competitor.

In any event, KU women have won something the men didn’t. I say banner up!

BANNER UP AGREED. -no reason we can't acknowledge/ appreciate - - what the Ladies DID DO. - they did something mens Basketball & foot ball didn't do - -they beat Arkansas lol - -ROCK CHALK LADIES.
kind of a shame that we have to have a discussion about whether we should or shouldn't hang a banner for them- Hang it up

They earned the banner. Great season for the Lady Hawks

Well, after seeing some of that NCAA women's championship, I say hang a banner with pride.
