Jmu just took Mich St to overtime!

GO DUKES

@FarmerJayhawk my alma mater, ranked in football, soccer, and maybe bball?

Ballgame!

Michigan State goes down 79-76 in OT. Ranked #4.

Tom Izzo is now 74-1 in November

@approxinfinity it’s the Dukes world, we’re just living in it

The last AP top 5 team to lose to an unranked opponent to open the season was.....Michigan State in 2005 to Hawaii.

@approxinfinity We've beaten Izzo in the champions classic in November so there's something wrong with your numbers. He's certainly lost in November before last night.

@wissox

Wonder if the stat was non conference home game against unranked opponent.

@BeddieKU23 Was thinking it probably was something like that.

@wissox

75 total November games would be very low for someone who's been at a school as long as Izzo's been at Michigan St. considering most teams play 6-7 games in November.

@Texas-Hawk-10 @wissox i repeated what i heard. Thanks for keeping me honest. Stat was probably derived from “in the last x years”

Oh or what @BeddieKU23 said :thumbs_up:

Here is somewhat of the stat. Michigan St was the first team since 2001, (Kentucky) to lose at home in their season opener to an unranked opponent as a top 5 team. So it hadn't happened in a while.

Izzo is 21-7 in season openers

Indiana very un-impressive at this point . just now taking a little control with 7 minutes to go only up now 54-48 over Florida Gulf Coast

Auburn-Baylor pretty good game.

Cool arena at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux City.

Baylor looked pretty good. Turned 6 pt deficit into comfortable win. Got a great freshman Walter.

I'm looking forward to watching part of the #12 Arizona/Duke game at 6 C on ESPN2 Friday before our game. AZ put up 122 pts in its opener. I sure hope it does the same against Duke.

According to our favorite commentator Franny he said Baylor was the best and deepest team he visited before the season.

Baylor looked good and man Auburn always gets athletes and little quick guards. That Holloway kids is gonna be a stud.

Getting ready to watch Duke & Ariz. Of the 15 players for Duke, 8 players are listed at 6'9" or taller. 3 players are 7' or taller. I remember posting last year that because they can and no one else can, why not play a brief lineup with all 3 of the footers, the 6'10" guy and one of the 6'9" shorties. Just because they can.

Is Kentucky okay??? I'm sure they will come out of it but 0-2 Texas A&M COMMERCE is rolling them atm.

Does Bilas announce all the Duke games? What a homer.

Poor Coach Calipari, he was only able to use one sub in the first half. Against Texas AM-Commerce. Who?

@BShark There three 7 footers aren’t playing.

Bradshaw and Onyunso are hurt and the Z guy is in ncaa review

I was hoping we’d play them at full strength so this sucks. Athletically will be at least better than nothing before Maui

Still should have done better but it's whatever as they did win.

The Kentucky box score against TexAM-Commerce is interesting: Cal only played 7 players, Tre Mitchell and 6 guards. The starters all played 10 more minutes than our guys played. The lineup looks more like February, than November. I don't follow Kentucky enough to know their other players. I saw a post that said K's 3, 7 footers weren't ready to play. Someone posted that the NCAA hasn't cleared 7'2", "Z" Ivisic, freshman from Croatia to play. Tuesday, 8:30 can't get here soon enough for me. Duke2/MichSt4 has much less appeal now that both have early season losses.

@stoptheflop Correct - Bradshaw and big O are hurt for a few more weeks so we aren’t playing them at full strength which sucks.

Good test but we should win.

The real test is Maui and then uconn along with @indiana

Anyone see what happened to Tony Bennett last night?

Virginia playing Florida and it's close and it's crunch time. Refs review a play and give it to Virginia. The ESPN announcer who played at Virginia calls the refs over and says on our monitor it looks like you got it wrong. Refs look at it and agree and change the call for Florida. Bennett goes nuts saying how can a TV guy help the refs like that? Virginia overcame that and won anyways, but we'd have had an all time collective coronary had that happened against us.

@wissox my brother told me about it today. here's a little more detail: https://awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/tony-bennett-furious-cory-alexander-referee-replay-acc-network.html ↗

@approxinfinity That's the article where I read about it. Crazy.

Cory Alexander is the worst. We complain about Fran but holy cow watch an ACC conference game sometime. It’s AAU stories punctuated by some remark about how he knows coach X and he’ll have his team playing better soon

@wissox I know that was crazy! He’s not supposed to do that but supposedly there was another angle the refs missed which clearly showed it. Insane he’s an alumni of the team it hurt lol

@kuballin10 Sounds like him and TB aren’t buddies by any stretch of imagination. TB is lucky he didn’t get a T for coming across the court to cuss out the TV announcers. Wasn’t a good look for Virginia basketball on all fronts.

The announcer says one ref asked him about it. Might have been irregular to affect the call, but can you imagine the outcry if the ref asked for help and a UV alum announcer refused?

Baylor getting a tough game from Gardner Webb because of course, why wouldn't they? I mean GW is 160th Ken Pom and Baylor is 10.

Typical officiating crew: Duke 1 foul; MSt 5

Maybe but like Bilas said multiple times your not going to be fouled being a jump shooting team. - Neither team has played like they gonna knock your socks off. -- Michigan St 4-44 three point shooting for the season so far - -& we thought we were gonna have problems with our shooting.

Would you guys believe me if I told you they are talking about Kansas at the Duke halftime?

Kinda think State might steal this game yet

51-43 at the time I posted this. about 9 left

With 3 min left, Duke has shot 22 FTs to 5 for MichSt.

@BeddieKU23 Grayson Allen 2.0 gets the craziest whistle I’ve ever seen. Just inexplicable

Uconn looks back to back good

Spencer would have been incredible to have here as the 2 but I’m sure he wanted to play the 1 and as @wissox knows not even Steph Curry would start over DAjuan at the 1 for William

Duke is consistently unlikable

These champions match ups are something Hunter couldn't touch at Michigan I hope he gives us something to remember about him.
What sounds right? Losing while we are #1 no big deal? Or winning when we are #1 says we like being the man.

I'm just not sure who I despise more - -Kentucky OR Duke. - -Is it possibly for their to be a tie ? lol

@jayballer67 If you factor in the whiney fans, then--sure--kentucky is worse, but just looking at 40 years of smug/precious players, Duke's teams/coaches have been far more hatable for my entire lifetime. I don't know any actual real-life Duke fans, but I'm sure they're insufferable too.

Well that's true - -1st very solid example would be Mr wonderful -- Grayson Allen - -nothing but a trash player , and I rest my case - -you are correct

I'd add Cousins to Kentucky's all bastard first team. John Wall was irritatingly good, but not hatable. Same with Kidd Gilchrist and Unibrow. Rex Chapman? Prince?

@DanR oh shoot I forgot about Chapman since I blocked him on Twitter

Christian Laettner + Grayson Allen makes it a nearly impossible task to find bigger d-bag players from the same university.

@dylans Laettner trumps all the other D-bags combined.

@nuleafjhawk there's a big Duke fan here at school, guess what his son is named? You'll get it!

@Crimsonorblue22 Dookey? Dipwad? Buttface?

Maybe something like Christian?

@nuleafjhawk lol! Last name

This is a good point. But the UK fan base has to make up for the difference. Right now, I'm leaning UK as more hated.

Last night's victory is actually sweetening with age.

Where do you run into Kentucky fans? I’ve maybe seen one die hard in the wild. Rare species in sw Kansas. The brotherhood is more present.

Mike Phillips and Rick Robey. Just hated 'em. Can't remember why after nearly 47 years; maybe it seemed like they mugged everybody. But since they played for UK, I'm comfortable keeping it going.

I always hated the coach of Duke more than the players except for the two being mentioned, except never hated Laettner, so it comes down to tripper boy. Someone help me remember why Laettner is hated?

@wissox for me, many reasons, but most of all: while at Duke, he intentionally stomped on a fallen defender’s chest under the basket

Virtually. And drawing on a lifetime of encounters. Not just 21st century.

I know this is not exactly sociologically approved, but my 2012 NC game experience taught me all I needed to know about Kentucky fans. The French Quarter and Superdome is a great venue for this game because everything is walkable. So all day Monday my wife and I were wandering around with fans of both kinds. Easily identified by the shirts/hats being worn. A kentucky fan walks by with a t shirt that says "this bitch bleeds kentucky blue". I couldn't believe someone would walk around wearing a shirt calling themselves a bitch. I saw similar crude shirts affiliated with Kentucky that day. I know I may have missed one or two that may have been off color Jayhawk shirts, but I didn't see any.

Game time. We're half way up the upper deck in a very neutral fan section. Right in front of us are a group of 8-10 Kentucky fans. They're all young enough to be my kids, but looking like recent college grads. They're standing. Ball is tipped, Kentucky scores, I'm thinking OK, they'll sit down now. No one else is standing. I ask them if they could please sit down and one of them points to the big screen on the scoreboard and says "you can just watch it up there." I still can't believe he said it and I still can't believe I didn't 'accidentally' bump into him sending him tumbling down the steep upper deck.

Classy, I met several, arrogant, rude, redneck, etc, I saw a lot.

@wissox There was a screen print store on Mass street briefly that had some off color Jayhawk t-shirts until they got shut down by the university. “I bleed crimson and blue, therefore I crap purple” is the only one I remember though.

Joe College and I still have several shirts from them including the always classy "Muck Fizzou" shirt. Also have some others in regards to Missouri, KSU, amd Texas.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I loved Joe College, still have my Hawk football “our coach can eat your coach” shirt somewhere.

@dylans Yeah, I can understand that one at least as fans gonna fan, but a woman referring to herself as a bitch is just beyond anything that I can imagine anyone wanting to wear!

@wissox Not very couth.

14 Arkansas goes down to UNCG, 78-72.

Kim Mulkey suspended the arrogant Angel Reese for some unknown reasons from LSU womens basketball.

UConn coach also thinks his coaching box includes 4 ft of the court when the ball is in play. Every made basket by the opponent, he's 4 ft on the court talking to his guard as he brings the ball up. Mgbako started for Indiana but no help offensively or defensively in the first half.

@stoptheflop Uconn looks like they might go back to back which would suck.

Can’t stand Hurley.

@kuballin10 said in Other bball games:

I don't think you realize how bad Indiana is. I watched their first 3 games. One of the worst P5 teams that is supposed to be decent that I have ever seen. They don't play defense at all. Mgbako doesn't even try on defense.

If we don't blow out Indiana I will be very down on this KU team.

Mgbako had 2 points in the Indiana loss. Played 23 minutes.

K-State down 19 to Miami at the half, 47-28

Refs really keeping Lewisville in the game. 31 FT attempts L; Tx 17

Did we recruit Sky Clark? - -20 points for Louisville today

@BShark December road game and Ware hasn’t been bad. They make some shots and we are off can be the easy unexpected L before break.

I think we win but seeing a loss isn’t impossible heck already been some crazy upsets early this year.

I agree they look bbbaadddd but any given night you never know

So Missouri lost to previously winless, kenpom #309 Jackson State tonight.

@Gorilla72 said in Other bball games:

@wissox Was it Meredith Brooks?

@nuleafjhawk I had to google the name, but yes, I think it was.

Gonzaga up on Purdue at half, 35-30. Lead had been bigger. Edey @ 15 with half Purdue’s points. 7-8 at the line though. Gonzaga playing physical with him.

@Gorilla72 Been watching another game but Purdue has gone on a run it looks like.

UConn hot

@Crimsonorblue22 uconn is the best team I’ve seen by far. They are nasty and play free without thinking.

Whatever Hurley is doing is working.

Badgers play their first great game of the year after a real dud against Providence and a never had a chance close loss against Rocky Top. They destroyed Virginia 65-41 which was ranked 24th but prolly won't be after that debacle.

Texas missin one of their main players , seen him last night pretty dam good player

Ya Sheddrick is who I was thinking of - -dropped 27 points last night pretty solid, they missing him for sure

UCLA’s offense is painful

Marquette isn’t that good either. They’re not skilled but boy do they play hard

Looks like Shaka Smart has another crack at Kansas…

Duke losing to 1-5 Southern Indiana at home at the half.

Baylor looks pretty dam solid-- - - -deep bench

Thru Feast Week, B12 has not been quite as dominant as some prior years, but still has a good collection of P5 and other quality wins, including a few against ranked teams: Kentucky, Tennessee, USC, Auburn, San Diego State, Utah, NC State, Florida, Iowa, and Michigan. Only OSU and WVU have bad losses.

Not worth another thread, but just read that Tony Gwynn played college hoops at SDState and had 590 assists in his career. He had 434 strikeouts in his 20 year MLB career. It must drive him nuts to watch guys strike out as much as they do these days.

@wissox I’d guess Tony would not care much, as he would be watching from Heaven.

@dylans Yeah, was trying to remember if he was still with us.

Kentucky is putting it to Miami by almost 30 points

@patoh3

Over 30 pts again for that Dillingham/Sheppard combo

KSU currently in OT with noted powerhouse Oral Roberts.

@Texas-Hawk-10 historically ORU has been pretty good. I guess they suck this year?

ORU beat us about 20 years ago I believe.

UNC might actually be good this year. And we could’ve had one of their best players. Sigh.

@wissox said in Other bball games:

@BShark Who could we have had and why didn't we have him?

Harrison Ingram was pretty interested in KU. To the level that lots of people assumed he would end up at KU.

It seemed like in general we were pretty committed to playing KJ at the 4 and went out of our way to not recruit players that would interfere with that.

The Hogs giving ol Duke quite a tussle at half up by one. - -Crowd pretty revved up- - -SOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE - -GO RAZORBACKS

@jayballer67 - down goes Duke, 80-75. They almost came back all the way.

Louisville had one player, a 4 star freshman tell his coach he couldn't play because the team didn't have the kind of tights he likes to play in. Keep in mind he'd never worn that kind while playing with them before either.

I'd be like son, there's a real nice coach down the road go play for him. I'd yank his scholarship so fast he'd be on the bus home by the time of the opening tip.

I wonder what Danny said to him who's an assistant there now.

All that running and zero chance of seeing the floor is all I can think about if someone pulled that stunt @wissox

@wissox I'm surprised the kid didn't sue. Hey, it's his God given right to wear those tights. He "identifies" as that kind of tights wearer.

@Gorilla72
Musselman had to withstand Duke's inside game and got Duke in foul trouble early and blocked 10 shots but had to because they gave up 11 offensive rebounds. Filipowski showed up in the second half with 22 points in the half and he is the real deal. Arkansas played defense as hard as they could all game and fumbled away, during the last 6 minutes, their 14 point lead. It didn't seem Duke was that deep on the bench.

@wissox

He played 16 minutes in the second half. Louisville has never had the tights he wanted but he toughed it out with 8 points and five dimes.

@dylans Believe it or not as @Zabudda points out he did play in the 2nd half.

@Zabudda I can't believe he played him after that.

@wissox

It's weird. Coach said it was weird of the player but "that's just the way these kids are now." Smiling the whole time. We don't know if someone gave him a come to Jesus meeting. Weird.

If Hunter and Kevin get 40 (doable), KJ and DaJuan get 20 (eh ?)and Elmarko, Parker, The Furph, McDowell and Timberlake get three each that's 75 and with our defense we will be in every game. Is that too much to ask? This means some nights we need to pick each other up. Uh-huh.

@wissox There may be more to the Louisville story. The player suffered a groin strain when they played in New York, and the tights were a compression style. Could simply be that the player was scared of hurting it again, and needed to work through that reluctance. If it was medically related, not a good look for the coach's cavalier comments.

@mayjay Thanks, you're always good at telling us to chill out with our judgment, of course I saw ESPN putting the kid on blast.

@wissox On the other hand, looks like this guy played 30 mins 6 days after the last game in NY, so maybe he was milking it or maybe the pain got miserable (been there, done that). In NY Empire Classic, he played 25 mins on the 19th, 17 mins the next night. Can't find details on injury but several articles mention he has been trying to play with it. Not a starter.

The coach was asked if it was due to the injury, and said he had "no idea".

I always try to figure out what's really going on when something as weird as this is reported... and when what is reported has nothing from the other person.

I believe Shaka had his team pumped up from the get-go with a chip on their shoulder. KU didn’t, unfortunately. We’ll see over the long run, as Marquette has Texas up next, with 2 league games each against UConn, Creighton and Villanova. No other ranked teams on their schedule at this point.

Not sad to see Shaka Smart lose. Good job, Wisconsin

What's up with Connor Essegian?

@BShark He started slow, then got hurt against Rocky Top. Only made 2 threes all year. Hoping he breaks out of it. In a week from hell MSU Tuesday and then at Arizona next Saturday so not the easiest of times.

Numbers one, three and four go down. Houston got away with one.

Kohl center was a factor in that one. During the Bo Ryan years it had a rep as one of the toughest places to play. Big seating capacity, tightly packed in seats and I've heard it very loud before. Today was like one of those old days. It's UW's 2nd ranked win holding Virginia to 41 last week.

I've been beating this drum a lot. A bang bang play happens in the first minute of a game, that play can make a difference in final outcomes of a game if refs get it wrong. It makes zero sense.

Another end of game thing that bugs me is there's a play that the result is the clock stopping. Refs go and waste time looking to see if they need to add .45 seconds to the clock. Of course they don't do that any other time than then. If you want to get the game clock right, then do that on every stoppage. And of course, that would just be stupid.

Not ranked but Auburn goes down to App St.---Watching a couple future opp this yr - - -Wichita St playing Mizzery on ESPN 2

Dam , Wichita St with 6 turnovers in less then four minutes to start the game lol

Wichita St sloppy ball. 18 turnovers with still 11:30 to go in the game.- - Missouri doesn't impress me ya, they got three seven footers led by goofy Conner Vanover 7'5 - another 7 foot freshman - -neither very impressive --neither one impress --Hunter should be able to hold against either one

Vanover from Cal to Arkansas to Oral Roberts to Missouri.

@Zabudda he's a ramblin man.

Average player who, when he started, may have made Chet Holmgren look fatter. And a great song.

I once knew a man, a skinny man, a skinny man from hoboken. And if i told you how skinny he was youd think that i was jokin.

JMU 8-0 is ranked 18th. Duke is ranked 22nd. Sweet!

Jerome Tang is on a heater today. First he complained about attendance being low, then he complained about the big east challenge forcing him to play a real game 🐦 View Tweet

He really wants it both ways. Even the KU crowd wasn't really juiced for EIU.

@BShark yep those game are the cheapest to go but I’d go to a conference game or a rivalry game. It’s a completely different venue IMO

-FAU & Illinois in a tight game with 15:00 left.
-George Mason is getting schooled by Tennessee.
- K-State up on Villanova by at halftime.

I guess I'm rooting for UConn over NC.

Good lord, the UConn coaches are animated. Don't they know their hysterics won't score a single point; more of a distraction to their players. Hurley walks all the way out to the 3 pt line while the ball is in play

UCONN up 8 at the half. Making the win look good, but gotta say Harrison Ingram looks like a pretty big transfer miss so far

Teams take on the personalities of their coaches which is why UConn is so full of d bags

Ugh he would’ve fit so great alongside Hunter

You know for a lackluster of a game Hunter seemed to have, he fished with 14 and 12.

Timberlake ended up getting 17 minutes, nearly double anyone else on the bench. Mari still in the dog house with just 5 minutes. I think Self was trying to see if Nick could get going at all and it just didn’t work. Honestly don’t see that happening much going forward and I believe Mari has a higher ceiling in every category besides 3 point shooting.

Good night for the B12 against the Big East - 4-0. Texas vs. Marquette is last game tonight. B12 has already won the series; believe it is 7-3 now.

The biggest upgrade with Ingram as a 4 would be the ball handling imo

Also I didn't realize that Jaylon Tyson was putting up over 20 a game after becoming eligible. We really hit the worst outcome possible in the portal

Fair. Also made me realize the actual worst outcome would've been McCullar leaving and having to start mgbako

Ingram would take KJs minutes. It would be nice to have more depth, but it would come at a cost. Lack of guard depth is more of an issue currently, thanks Arterio. Parker has been a good backup 5, lacks size, but has plenty of hustle.

Ingram sure would have been nice but I'm not doubting KJ. He's motivated to play given his family situation and finds a way to impact the game. He really is a positionless player but he's a very important one to this team.

It seems like a 1,1,3,3,5 lineup this year.

@FarmerJayhawk Hairy Frank Martin gave you away.

@approxinfinity ha! All I’m saying is they might be running it back come spring

@FarmerJayhawk looks those rumors on Tomlin were true.

Give Huggins a free year of recruiting and he has demonstrated the ability to really put together a class.

How funny would it be if Self got Tomlin 🤣, don’t need him but could play at the end of the semester.

@kjayhawks

It would be funny actually. Bruce Weber level stuff

Since Tomlin's exit is tied to some real messed up stuff like we just went through with Morris I'd hope the staff wasn't going down this road ever again.

@BeddieKU23 ya in all seriousness not a good idea in the slightest but the Mildcat faithful would lose their minds

@kjayhawks

It's funny I immediately was like we should get him to troll tang and the kitties but then reality set in. He's certainly a talented player that I wasn't excited to face this year and hopefully he doesn't land somewhere within the conference

Tylor Perry will likely be suspended soon for taking Tomlin to the protest.

Don't think he will end up in the Big 12. - -In the podcast they was talking saying out of Tomlin's respect for Coach Tang wouldn't want to do tht to his Coach , saying they just feel he will land elsewhere outside the conference

Kentucky is getting great bench scoring from Bradshaw, Dillingham and Sheppard. 22 pt with 15 min to play. KU really needs to find much better scoring from the bench

Arizona just absolutely curb stomping Wisconsin's ass up by 27 points with like 4:18 to go in the game - -they look pretty dam good.

And Auburn beat Indiana by 28 - put up 104 on them....

K-State won again. 8-2. 🤔

3 B12 teams knocked from the unbeaten ranks yesterday. BYU, Cincinnati, and TCU all took their first loss (although none bad losses). Only 7 unbeaten teams remaining, and the B12 still has 3 of them - Houston, Baylor and Oklahoma. Arizona and Clemson are the only other P5 unbeaten teams.

Arizona looked like the number one team when they played Wisconsin. That was a tremendous performance. Can’t wait to get them in conference, finally a worthy opponent!

The interesting thing going back to Tomlin is the president of the university says his dismissal comes from more than the October 30th issue in aggieville. Sounds like he has involved in something more serious or is a repeat offender. Remember this a lot of the same administration that hid Wainwright(former KSU player) was involved in a drive by shooting in January but kept in under wraps til the season was over.

@kjayhawks I can't understand why they left him hanging? Did they think something would change? Maybe they thought whatever he did before would never be found out, but it was leaked? I'm not saying he should've been on the team, just it appears he was cleared by the law. Very fishy!

@Texas-Hawk-10 Will be interesting to see how long Bronny plays college ball. Doesn’t look like an nba caliber guy at this point. But LeBron says he wants to wait to play NBA ball with his son before retiring.

@dylans Strangely they beat MSU by 6 on a neutral court and Wisconsin beat MSU by 13 at their place, but yesterday we had no chance against them.

Tomlin announced he's transferring to Memphis.

The last two weeks before the new year are kind of down times for marquee games. Saturday is kind of an exception but that's only because Bill doesn't shy away from challenging matchups ever.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Other bball games:

Tomlin announced he's transferring to Memphis.

Looking for in-town mentoring from Morant.

Chicago St has to be the worst program in NCAA history. They've only had 3 winning seasons in their 40 year history and two of those were their first two seasons. They've never beat a ranked team. Tonight in the 2nd half they are beating 25th ranked Northwestern in the 2nd half. Imagine beating #1 ranked Purdue and being a first ever ranked team to lose to them in the span of a month?

@wissox who is their coach?

@Crimsonorblue22 Someone named Gerald Gillion. Never heard of him, he has a reputation as a good recruiter. Only one Chicago kid on his roster even though the campus is several miles from Simeon HS and some other powerhouse programs.

It's official, Chicago St. 75, Northwestern 73. I actually looked at every schedule in their 40 year existence and didn't even see a win against a major conference team. So does this mean Chicago St. is better than Purdue?

@wissox I was thinking the ole hutch juco/Wyoming coach, Steve McClain coached there. He was an ast for Beard at Texas last I knew.

@Crimsonorblue22 Oh, I never heard of him but he coached 5 years at UIC. Never coached at Chicago St though.

1 vs #3 tomorrow airing on ......Peacock.

@Crimsonorblue22 Not being reported anywhere else.

@wissox erased it!

@Crimsonorblue22 Good I want to beat them full strength so we don't have to listen to them, like Kentucky fans, say we didn't face them while they're at full strength.

Looking at the Gonzaga box score, the 3 starting Gs were the only Gs who played and rack 37, 39 and 40 min. All 3 bench players in the game were Fs. Strange, maybe desperate lineup.

Baylor is getting absolutely massacred, down 28 to Michigan St. at halftime.

Holy crap , just seen this score. - - -what the hell happened here ?

Wow!

just stunned what is happening to Baylor today

Purdue played 10 players in the first half scoring 49. Very fast paced game. Purdue bench only scored 4 of the 49. Wow, both teams shot 57%

@FarmerJayhawk Amen. Netflix is awful

I was watching the Baylor game and a player took the ball out of bounds by the scorers table/bench side and took about 3 steps. They said he had to stay inside the coach's box. Didn't call walk. So did I get that wrong?

@Crimsonorblue22 You’re right as far as I know. Can’t move unless a basket was made.

He lost possession but they didn't call walk. He took a few steps before he stepped over the coach's line to the box, then the ref called it. He walked all over before they called it. I was confused.

Big 12 ref.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Other bball games:

Sounds about right.

Hubert got outcoached by Cal. Fire him

@FarmerJayhawk the final four run is the only thing that kept him there this long. I give it one or two more years before he is out, that just bought him time.

@kjayhawks yep, I agree. UNC also doesn’t have a Chancellor right now so that makes firing a basketball coach very complicated

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other bball games:

Hubert got outcoached by Cal. Fire him

Lol. They won by 5, we beat kentucky by 4. This doesnt seem like the “last straw” offense?

@Crimsonorblue22 A “spot” throw-in, is actually a box 3 feet wide with unlimited depth. The player is allowed to move within the box, holding the ball. In fact, the “edge” of the box extends to the ceiling. So a player could go to the right side of the box, and have nearly his entire body outside the box, but as long as one toe was within the space, even if it was up in the air, he is legal. He could then run to the left side and do the same. So if he has long legs, he could cover quite a distance and still be legal.

@imajayhawk is this new?

@Crimsonorblue22 No. That has been the rule for the past 20 years or so. Most players and fans don’t know it. It often gets enforced differently in college (calls often made for TV audience) then in high school, even though the rule is the same at both levels.

@approxinfinity tbh I would’ve canned him after last year

Tang came to elevate. Not get boatraced at home to a terrible Nebraska team.

Losing by 16 at home to a Nebraska team that only shot 4 FTs the entire game is something.

Uh, saying that Nebraska is terrible is a bit over the top. They are 9-2. Most of their wins are against powderpuffs, but they did beat Michigan St. last game and Oregon State earlier. And, now KSU on the road. They may well end up toward the back end of the B10, but...

Btw, KSU was 4-30 from 3. That isn't going to win many games...

@DCHawker fine, aggressively mediocre

@DCHawker Merry Christmas to us! K-State sucks in basketball and their whole football team is bailing.

Jerome Tang told us that Perry is the best shooter in America. Btw he's shooting like 30% against high major comp this year so far.

In other Basketball games, I finally got to go watch my neighbor across the street play tonight in middle school. Been shooting with him for the last few years. He had 35 points and 2 dunks in one half. Didn’t play in the second.

@kjayhawks I hope you acted as a KU coach in proxy and offered him on the spot. Junior High and dunking?

@kjayhawks and you called Bill Self and told him to get his butt to wherever you are....

@wissox @nuleafjhawk he’s already 6’1 with a 6’3 wing span. I told him if he’s keeps working he’ll be a college player for sure. Hard to tell how good he really is against the small time school in our league but his dad is 6’6. He hasn’t beat me yet but last time we played (I won by 1) he’s not strong yet but he probably gonna spank me any day now lol. I always joke with him a lot but told him tonight he’s a better ball player right now than I ever was.

Wow is Morehead State better than us? They've led IU nearly all game by 10 or so, despite IU receiving a generous whistle all night. In the short time I've typed this IU has cut it down to 2 aided of course by and an 1 that was suspicious.

@wissox I hate watching foul mismatches like this. It just seems obvious that refs in situations like this will call it one way. We get some like that too at AFH of course, but it's kind of unfair to watch a team just get screwed over by the zebras. 25-12 foul count right now.

@wissox Indiana has bricked a lot of Fts and still could lose because of it. They're 16-28. Even though Indy losing this hurts our strength of schedule and all that I think it'd be hilarious to see them lose to a team that's never beat a BIG team.

@jayballer67 I generally like Bilas, but he’s a Dukie and it shows through from time to time.

Confirmation bias.

Bad night to be ranked Big East team as Villanova also knocked off Creighton tonight.

Oklahoma is no longer undefeated after losing to UNC.

There are now only 3 undefeated teams left in CBB. Houston, James Madison, and Ole Miss.

And Seton Hall beating UConn, Radford beating WV, these pre-holiday upsets should be a warning to our guys. That Temple beat down years ago still stings, so I hope KU doesn't take Yale lightly.

@stoptheflop Bill gave Furphy the night off, so I don’t think the team exactly has this one circled. Definitely could be a trap game in the Christmas lul (asu comes to mind), but I don’t think this team tolerates losing. They seem to hate losing more than they love winning - a good thing in my book.

@dylans - I’m really glad KU isn’t playing the standard road game just before Christmas. Seems like KU has lost several against lesser teams.

IIRC, the team could play for player’s flights to home towns after such a road game. I suppose with the advent of NIL money, it’s no longer a big deal.

Watching TCU vs Old Dominion in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic. Udeh is again getting significant playing time.

@Gorilla72 Is Udeh doing anything with his time tonight? His season averages are not great.

@dylans - 6pts, 4 rebounds 2 assists in 17 min. Looked slow and was beat offf the dribble several times when forced to guard outside. Dixon keeps starting him although his backup looks pretty good. And O’Bannon had 25 off the bench.

I suspect that that was the deal promised to him and his mentor to start, but did not specify the majority of minutes. Dixon is upholding his part of the agreement. He is the starter with the least amount of minutes on the team.

Zuby Ejiofor at St John’s is not starting but getting almost 11 minutes per game. Averaging 4.0 pts, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Also, 2 fouls and 0.7 turnovers per game.

Some guy on Maryland had a line of 0 points, 0 boards, 0 blocks, you get the idea, and 5 fouls.

I honestly wish one of them stayed but I got ridiculed pretty hard on here for saying neither one was ready to be a major contributor at a power school. Looking like a very true statement, tho I think they both will be good players by the time they are thru.

@kjayhawks would they if they never see any time but mop up mins? Hunter could stay. I don't think they improve if they don't get valuable time and I wanted to see them developed.

@Crimsonorblue22 I think they would get 10-12 minutes a game, Braun probably wouldnt be here tho.

@kjayhawks hey did you know the ag teacher that died from your school? So sad!

@Crimsonorblue22 not personally but yes very sad deal

@kjayhawks so young! So many deadly wrecks on that rd. I take that way to Lawrence.

@dylans that seems like smart reverse psychology to me.

Watching the Indiana @ Nebraska game. Hoiberg has them playing well!

@Gorilla72 They play Wisconsin next. First tough game Nebby has all year. Their schedule strength is bottom barrel.

In the first 8 minutes, both NC and Clemson have played 9 players. That seems like a lot of subs so early in the game. Many teams aren't playing 9 during an entire game

Not only are the officials bad sometimes, but announcers playing officials can be worse.

Watching a minute of NC vs Clemson.

Carolina guard drives right side of lane, guarded closely, extends his left arm and elbows the defender in the gut. Defender goes down. Refs call a defensive foul. As they show the replay with dudes’s elbow clearly extended and whacking the dude in the gut…the announcer is like Yes, that’s a good call. If the offensive player would have extended his elbow, that would be offensive. But he didn’t, and kept his arm tucked.

I’m like, huh?

Kentucky & Florida up and down the floor, pretty good game

BYU, computer favorite, loses at home to Cincy. The NET moved them down 1 spot from 3 to 4 for their loss.

@wissox

KU moved down for winning yet again. LOL

Big 12 currently sitting at 9 teams inside the top 40 of the NET rankings and 5 teams currently in the top 15.

Iowa St. is the team that baffles me the most as far as its NET ranking. They are sitting at 12th, just one spot behind KU and we're in the top 10 before their loss to Oklahoma yesterday. They've only played 5 games against non Quad 4 teams are just 2-3 in those games.

@Texas-Hawk-10 There's so many oddities in it. Bama it says is 0-5 against quad 1 teams but is ranked 6th in their rankings apparently because they scheduled tough teams I guess.

ISU and Houston tied. It’s now a 36 second game.

ISU freshman coming up big. Wow. Welcome to the B12 Houston.

ISU wins the last 36 seconds and the game! Welcome to the Big12, Cougs.

I think Houston is gonna get woke up a bit this season. Sorry playing on the road at Rice, Wichita state and Tulane ain’t Jack compared to the road in this conference.

Lot of good B12 games on espn+ tonight what a joke by the network

Neb up on Purd by 12 with 1:08 left.

Neb won by 16. Shot 50 % from the field, 61 % from 3. Had more steals and blocks than Purd.

61% from 3 is insane

@kjayhawks How about a Top 1o battle between KU and Ou this weekend on ESPN+?

3 of the 4 newcomers to the Big12 lost tonight. The other one plays KU tomorrow. ✔️

@Gorilla72 The newcomers combined to win 8 football games in the league all season, led by UCF's 3-6 record. So far those teams in the league are 2-5. Early of course, but not a great start.

Warning Will Smith, Warning. It's upset time in college hoops. I sure hope KU is paying attention and takes care of business against UCF. Nebraska and IState were the big upset winners yesterday. Let's hope the Knights don't get to crow on Thursday. Is 6.5 pts the correct line against the Knights? They lost big to KSt in Manhattan. Maybe they play better at home. I sure hope ESPN+ works better tonight.

Sure have to agree with ya buddy. Ya know was watching various podcasts this Morning and even though can't stand K/State I like FitzGerald K/State Alum beat writer in his podcasts , brings out some really good points. Kinda funny/witty

Anyways kind of on the line like you mentioned , he said WELCOME to the Big 12 Houston , and talking about the Hilton magic at Hilton. He says he swears to GOD some Iowa St fan has some vodoo lol , and talking about how a lot of teams lose at Hilton. - Then he talks and tells Houston this isn't the AAC , and says Houston gonna take some losses this yr and says sure Houston MAY win the big 12 but they gonna take maybe 3-4 losses. - -Saying in the AAc Houston played just well enough not to lose- - -THIS is not the AAC, points well said Fitz. - -WELCOME to the Big 12 Houston

6th year senior at Indiana Xavier Johnson gets ejected for grabbing the privates of the Rutgers guy who set a screen on him. Indiana is a mess and a half and I wish it weren't so. College basketball needs IU to become competent in basketball I think. Not positive that he told refs that he was working on his ball handling skills.

Wonder how the Rutgers player graded him out on that task lol

@wissox

Woodson doesn't appear to be the answer despite bringing some top level talent there.

@BeddieKU23 Yeah I think fans are getting pissed.

hilarious!

Kentucky loses on the road to Texas A&M after the officials tired so hard to win it for them. Called an offensive foul on A&M for kicking out feet on a made 3 that they nullified. Then gave UK a foul shooting a 28 foot fade away 3 that was garbage. Cracks me up why these calls aren’t front page news like any questionable call that goes our way.

This league is just an absolute brutal blood bath

Meltdown for the mildcats. You really love to see it

@FarmerJayhawk I enjoyed it lol

Bye bye bye Houston to TCU on layup

B12 will be a gauntlet. You could argue this year, more than any other year - -while OU and Texas are still here -- the B12 winner will be battle tested.

I think TCU is a solid club, WVU beats the shorthorns lol

TCU is a good team and should be in the NCAA Tournament this season. The Big 12 had 10 teams in the top 50 on the NET rankings entering today. Texas losing to West Virginia is worse than our loss to UCF as WVU is barely inside the top 200 of the NET rankings.

The Big 12 looks like it's probably going to be a 9 bid league this year. Texas will have a shot to make it 10, but they have work to do after that loss to WVU today.

@Texas-Hawk-10 so so so early! Lol. But i dig it.

@approxinfinity said in Other bball games:

@Texas-Hawk-10 so so so early! Lol. But i dig it.

The Big 12 has 9 in the top 37 now after yesterday which is historically safe for getting an at large bid. Texas dropped to 59 from 44 which both are historically outside at large territory. We're getting to the point now though where we're going to be seeing less dramatic movement after wins and losses unless especially unless it's an especially bad loss like UT's yesterday. Based on that, it appears like the B12 is in line to get 9 teams into the NCAA Tournament this year.

Illinois lost. this past weeks top 11, Purdue, lost, Houston Lost, Zona lost, UConn survived, Rocky Top, loss, Mildcats, loss, 2022 runnerup, won, OU, two time loser, Marquette, two time loser. Of course our favorite team did too. That's 9 of 11 teams losing that were highly ranked.

Well I guess you can try to look at this positively, it was just a terrible week for top ranked teams, maybe not quite as bad -- it was bad , but losses everywhere

I do not consider losing on road to a decent conference foe as an upset

@AsadZ I think thats an upset. We had no business losing to that team.

@wissox

Chaotic week for the Top 10ish. Gonna be like that every week perhaps too.

We should not have lost to UCF. It was also considered a Quad 1 loss for the NET. They do have a Top 20 defense with a well-respected coach, we didn't give them proper respect either. This was their conference home opener (first game in Big-12) and their home court environment is legit (very unexpected). I watched them battle BYU to the end Saturday with a chance to win and their fans helped that comeback as well. I was expecting to see a half dead place after winning their super bowl but their fan support is much better then I thought. They might be most athletic team in the league.

@wissox Is UCF a decent team, not yet, so I concur that KU loss was an upset.

@AsadZ said in Other bball games:

UCF isn't a decent conference foe. They're a bottom 3 Big 12 with OSU and WVU and this isn't a Big 12 where every road game is a Quad 1 match up. WVU isn't far off from being a Quad 4 game and KU's game in Stillwater tomorrow is barely a Quad 2 game, almost a Quad 3 game.

We have 8 conference members in the top 25. Houston and Iowa State are looking like a real problem. If someone can go through this with just three losses it would be amazing. If we lose one you can reasonably be assured of other top teams getting beat at at least the same rate. If we can avoid the dreaded under 30 point 1st halves we will win our share of low or high scoring games. The Furph will probably astonish us a few times but as rookies go it will be inconsistent.

@Texas-Hawk-10

At the moment the UCF game is a quad 1 loss

@AsadZ Your post made it look like you thought it wasn't an upset. Sometimes I have trouble figuring out what someone is responding to on here!

Houston is ranked 5th in the country and is in 7th place in our conference.

@wissox

Big-12 meat grinder

I haven’t watched anyone but KU play more than 10 minutes this year. Based off of resume I’d say UNC is a bit over-rated. How does the eye test look? Is UConn fully healthy now? KU’s resume is under valued. They’ve played (and beaten) many of the top teams with more on the schedule. I’d say that KU has as good a shot as anyone of cutting down the nets, but is far from dominant. - Would really like to wind back time and steal a win against Marquette to see how KU looked against Purdue!

Saw on the scores scrolling by that the KU women got their asses handed to them tonight losing by 35 to Texas. I know they upset Baylor over the weekend, but this season has been a disaster for KU. This looking like another season in which KU won't make a post season tournament which would be the 7th time in his 9 seasons that KU has failed to make any postseason tournament. He's made 1 NCAA Tournament and 1 WNIT in his first 8 years. Why is that acceptable?

KU women have made 3 NCAA Tournaments in the past 20 years. Our football program has more bowl appearances in that time. There's no reason why this program shouldn't make it to the NCAA Tournament most seasons with the resources they have, but instead KU has been one of the least successful major conference programs of the past 25 years.

U think losing Nooner has hurt?

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't think Schneider is a good coach at this level. At this rate, we're looking at failing to reach a postseason tournament in 7 of his 9 seasons.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree

I thought Nooner might have made a difference last year.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Other bball games:

He probably was the biggest reason for the two good seasons Schneider has had here.

I side with @Texas-Hawk-10 i think it’s time to move on from Schneider. He’s had 9 seasons to do something with this program and this on paper was good team returning several key players from an NIT championship. Zero reason not to get an at large bid for the NCAA tournament.

Ya unfortunately I must agree. I've tried to stay on the ship with Coach S but just not excusable. - -Three Super Seniors come back for this Season , coming off winning the WNIT, & I'm sure they thought there would be a better outcome. Jackson , Franklin , & Kirksgeiter - -plus our 5* freshman who has been in the starting lineup from day one - - He just hasn't got the production/results. -I mean ya have had some stiff competition , U Conn , Virg Tech , Texas & K State - understand, and yete we caught a glimpse of what this team could be when we just kicked $ 4 Baylor's ass.

He is just not getting it done. With the talent he has, he has a pretty solid bench,- just not working anymore, time for a change

Texas loses at home to UCF 77-71. Does it make the loss by KU any better?

@Gorilla72 wvu beat Texas too, crazy!

@Gorilla72 it makes me feel better when Texas loses. UCF I don’t think is that terrible of a team, I could see a scenario where they finish 10 or 11th in this league. WVU and Ok state look really bad. Texas hasn’t looked impressive at all since league play started.

Looking like Houston is gonna even up their record and place a 4 way tie atop the standings.

just like haas been said this league is brutal, absolute blood bath. you better be ready , your A game every night out or your taking the L

Look at UCF beating Texas at Texas, not as bad a some thought it was - -ANYTHING is possible in this league

@jayballer67 Too bad Beard is a horrible human being. He has Miss. playing at a high level. Would’ve enjoyed those matchups against Texas.

Speaking of Texas, did anyone see where Rodney went off on the UCF players in the hand shaking line about them doing the horns down signal? 😂😳 Wait til he gets to the sec! There's more on their post game on espn, just can't play sound now.

@Crimsonorblue22 Was just coming here to say that. I'm still upset we lost to them. I'm still upset they're in our league to be honest.

Thin skin. He would have melted during the KU - Mizzou hay days.

The whole horns down deal is funny to me. First off win the dang game in which you led by 16 points at home to an inferior team. Secondly if teams aren’t supposed to do horns down, shouldn’t you stop the horns up?

Wondr what he would of thought when Chew Kennedy and Oklahoma won the championship in the phog and that group how they acted and cutting our nets down after the game

How much time do you all expect Izzo to stick around? I watch a lot of BIG ball of course and I'm just shocked to turn on a game and see them struggling like they are right now with a team like Minnesota. Izzo has had some well publicized confrontations with kids who are increasingly getting under his skin and dissing him. Shocking really to see because a younger Izzo just had utmost respect from his players. He's 68 years old, hanging on longer than most of his peers, but I suppose the thirst to win another ring keeps him pressing on.

@wissox And as I'm just finished Izzo gets T-d up, in a game against Big 10, worst non conference schedule low life Minnesota.

I don't think Self would want our players doing that to their players. Now fans, thats different. Somebody wrote about it reminded them when coach K did that to Dillion brooks, exactly my thoughts! Of course, he lied! Rodney also said sh!t. Wasn't he pushing religion on the players too, at TT? To many transfers including coaches, for me to keep up.
@wissox i don't like Izzo, to many cover ups there.

He is sounding like a coach that is about to retire. Just the way he is talking in press conferences he sounds exhausted and over it. I said the same thing about Saban in September.

@Crimsonorblue22 What do you mean cover ups?

Memphis loses a home game to 135 ken pom South Florida. I've been trying to figure out why Memphis is a trendy FF pick right now. Guess I got my answer. Memphis has four wins against ranked teams, none of whom are ranked anymore.

@wissox the rapes that happened awhile back

Terrence Shannon got an injunction giving him the right to play again.

Badgers lose to Indiana 53-52....in the 2nd half. Yes that was the 2nd half score and this is not your Badger team of old obviously. Badgers beat them for the 20th straight time in the Kohl Center. Indy isn't that bad, but they just look bad, trailing by 23, having a guy ejected for the 3rd time in the last 4 games for a flagrant foul. Indiana twitter is in full meltdown.

@wissox Indiana is on my list of 5 most despised bb programs.

In no particular order:

Duke, Indiana, Memphis, Kentucky, Texas

KSU used to be but when they got rid of Squeaky they got an automatic 5 year release for good behavior. Same thing happened to Indiana when they got rid of Bobby Knight, but Sampson put them back into the depths. Texas is there just...because.

Duke never fired K so they have not earned their way out even though he is gone.

Memphis and UK... the definition of cesspools.

@mayjay I liked Bobby Knight. The hires since have been bad with Sampson corrupt, Creen inneffective, and miller a jerk. Woodson doesn't have it either, but as a BIG fan, I've always thought it's good for the league.

Agreed on your axis of evil, except I would add Iowa and Minnesota to it!

When Boeheim was at Syracuse, they were in the mix.

Not a big fan of the Arkansas coach, or the Oregon coach that beat us. Both seem like asshats.

@approxinfinity Any coach that beats us is an asshat!

Jordan Bells postgame interview after the Oregon defeat lacked any semblance of grace. And i dont think the apple fell very far from Dana Altman’s tree.

Would have to be pretty frustrating if you were shooting 67 % from the field and almost 81 % from the three and only be up by three over Baylor in the 1st half, for Texas.-- Texas has hit like 9-11 threes in the first have but Baylor I think is 8-10 lol

Watching a bit of St. John’s vs Marquette this morning. Zuby has looked pretty good thus far, didn’t start but had some good plays on both ends.

Exciting finish in TX. But, I sure wish TX had lost.

@approxinfinity

I give you a lot of credit for watching any post game footage after that one. Easily in the top 5 of most disappointing season finishes. Thought we had the team and stars align with it being in KC.

@stoptheflop said in Other bball games:

Better for us that Texas beat Baylor , gives them two losses, Baylor bigger threat to challenge for title

OSU gives away the game after BYU does the same, not a great day for us

Down goes dook lmao

@FarmerJayhawk at least we had that go right today

We've seen some close calls over the years with court stormings, part of the cost of being top dog for so long. Well today, Iowa's Caitlin Clark got blindsided by an Ohio State fan. It knocked her to the floor, got the wind knocked out of her, fortunately nothing else happened.

It's one practice I wouldn't mind seeing go by the wayside. A Tulane fan shoved a Memphis player after upsetting them recently. Trying to remember what happened to us at Silo tech. I wish for once in a day of instant news and instant outrage that the NCAA would be proactive and figure out a way to prevent it from happening instead of knee jerk reacting after someone does get seriously hurt. Caitlin Clark nearly getting hurt should be that impetus.

@wissox said in Other bball games:

Didn't one of their fans shove Traylor or something?

@mayjay yep, from behind. Self was trapped by the table, Bruce saved his life!😂😍

@wissox WVU did it right. They formed a line of security to keep the fans back while KU tried to do a handshake line and exit. I’d prefer KU won them all so there is no court storming, but if it’s going to happen that’s the way.

@dylans They've beat us so often in Morgantown they have streamlined the storm courting (a nod to the doofus announcer who called it called it something like that the other day!) process pretty well!

Throwing things at ksu bench

Watch the foul disparity on Saturday, it will be hilariously frustrating to watch.

The press called the game contentious, chippy etc.
Fred, The Mayor, Hoiberg, Marcus Fizer, George Niang, Monte Morris, Jeff Hornacek, Jeff Grayer, and Curtis Stinson have all pissed me off.

K state fans on twitter are acting like it’s the first time they’ve played at ISU. Of course the foul calls were bad. Of course the fans boo calls that are very regular and fine. Of course the fans are classless. Like where has kstate been all these years?

It's even funnier because they are the same fans themselves.

Reminds me of EJ dropping 39 points in a victory including a dunk at the end of the game that sent the place into a frenzy. It was later released that ISU had not only thrown stuff at the KU bench repeatedly but a fan had spit in EJs face.

@BeddieKU23 said in Other bball games:

Exactly was I was going to bring up - - Watch out Saturday , I guess there CAN BE controversy on officiating other then at the Phog. I will say this ONE thing however , one of the questionable calls made BOTH ways just wrong. - -The on where they called the K/State player for a foul when the Iowa State player tripped over his own feet , there was no or if any , very little contact on that play late in the game -I thought WO even though I was wanting K/ State to lose.- - Tang on you tube postgame said he was not going to talk about what him and ISU Coach said in shake line after words was said. Tang was not happy - - -something with the fans.

I'm just glad it was somewhere else then the Phog on referring for a change - -just a bad look. !^ fouls in the last 11 minutes of the game on K/State, Fitz was saying one call every 47 seconds of the game- - -62 free throws shot. How do teams get any kind of a flow when there is that many interruptions?

As a former ref myself I've heard and seen both sides. - They say you know when a game has been officiated well you won't even know there were refs there , Then I also know if a official wanted to be a big enough ass he could call some kind of a foul every single time down the floor. Last Night was just horrible

Not sure how we are going to stand up going 5-8 Saturday -Mercy what a circus last night

@Zabudda I've always been an admirer of ISU. Back to the Jeff Grayer days with crusty old Johnny Orr coaching to the Hoiberg years, for some reason that's the one school that really for 40 years of my KU fandom has been just about the toughest out for us, whether in Ames or in Lawrence. All time we have a decided advantage, winning 189-67. In Ames we're 71-47. They've only won 16 times in Lawrence.

@wissox my post has nothing to do with the fan base which is fairly classless it seems.

Don't they have security at games? I don't know if it's true if they were throwing things, but if they were they can give T's after a warning and escort the perps out. Home coach should be speaking out, I'd like to think our AD and or coach would control that.

I totally take Tang's side on this one.

ISU fans are the worst in our conference. Ask other Jayhawk fans about ISU fan behavior in the Power and Light District during the B12 Tourney.

They are REALLY BAD. Did you see this game ? - -one time KSU player got a bloody mouth from an elbow - -ref looked the other way - another when they called a foul on KSU- -the dam guy tripped ove his own feet, didn't touh fan. - -Watch out Saturday. - their guards are really dirty

I believe it was the ref, pollard(sp?) turned his head away from the isu player tripping on his own feet and turned back as he was falling and called the foul on ksu. It was clear as a bell too! Tang got a T from basically shaking his hands at the ref, weak call and changed the game. I'm not a big as tang fan as I started out to be.
Now they(ksu) are saying he was talking to coach O about isu people, managers etc, were taking pics while they were in the huddle and texting that to coaches. Hmmm

@drgnslayr they had to be escorted to bus if I remember right.

If a male coach acted as badly as Kim Mulkey at LSU does he'd be banned from the game. Didn't see the game last night, but she certainly has a style that wouldn't be tolerated. She makes some of our crazier male coaches like Fran up in Iowa look like choir boys.

I remember attending a KU vs ISU game in the old Big 8 preseason Holiday Tournament. The I State coach managed to get 3 technicals arguing 1 call, and because he wouldn't leave after being ejected. 10 point play in all (2 shot foul, 2 x 3 for techs, we got possession afterwards and scored). Fun times!

I just hope both teams have fun.

@Crimsonorblue22 I think the text and pictures of the huddle thing is laughable. The TV crew several times have coaches mic’d and show inside the huddle. What good would it do even if true? So a guy behind KSU bench takes pictures and text what is being said. Then he sends it to another ISU staffer on their side and relays it to TJ. Lol

@kjayhawks he sure likes getting attention. So weird to me!

In Madison for a good one against Lizzo and the Spartans

really surprised KSU/Houston not on some TV - -shows it was suppose to be on ESPN but no

Houston was taking it to K/State early. not quite sa bad now, I seriously think K/State won't scratch 60

Dam K/State getting that ass curb stomped by Houston 29-12 with like 6:20 in 1st half

If Houston could make a free throw it’d be a 30 point game. 41-21 Houston at the half, Houston has great ball movement

This is why I believe the teams at the top of a conference with the most balance will have unique advantage late in the season. Particularly, it will help them survive the first few rounds of the tournament where the the un-ranked will flex this year.

So, as of right now, I like the B12 teams and I like Mountain West and even Pac12 to have a decent show in the tourney. We'll see.

ACC appears to be very top heavy.

When you have put up 23 points in over 24 minutes of play - - -that's bad , but I seen this coming

Not gonna lie , pretty worried about Saturday. -- Houston ,s good - - physical , and just looks like they don't get rattles. -- -Shaad is very legit , I dunno gonna take a hell of of alot better ball handling an decisiion making then we have been getting recently.

Not sure who will guard Shaad , I guess Harris although Shaad a lot bigger frame bully Juan. , Hunter on Roberts - -KJ on Francis. Who knows not gonna be easy

TCU / Tex Tech pretty good. - -Tech was up 27-16- -then TCU hits them with a 24-9 run up - -- 40-36 at the half

Hey here is some eye popping stats for ya. - -K/State / Okla - -K/State made their first field goal with 10:30 to go in the first half. - - -1-12 - -from the three & - Now 5-23 over all and with like 2 minutes to go losing to Oklahoma 27-14

TCU leads by 6 with 2:23 left

The more I watch the more I think everyone just kinda sucks

Northwestern gets called for 31 fouls to 15 for Purdue, resulting in 46 FT attempts to 8 for NU. Ridiculous disparity and NU was still able to take them to OT. I didn't watch but it may have partially been a hack a zach strategy as he shot almost 17 and missed 9. I guess Chris Collins lost it at the end of OT and get two techs.

Kentucky just loses at home to unranked Florida.

@wissox I always enjoy a UK loss

@kjayhawks Me too. I can think of some other wildcats I like to lose as well!

@wissox am I reading that right?

What is noticeable about the Cougars is their strong effort on every play. The game can be tied up and they will harass your ass on defense and force you into a bad shot or turnover and attack your weakness on offense and bingo you are down by six and you look like you're just hanging on. They speed you up I think and then you are not finishing at the rim and missing threes and you better get offensive rebounds and on their end you can play good D but but they crash the boards on you.

…Thats how cougars affect me!

I just realized now that they’re in our conference theres a whole world of Cougar jokes i havent explored, sorry!

Hopefully they're calling fouls at home, on them!

Texas with a huge road win for their NCAA hopes and KSU with a nasty loss to a Bryce Thompson less Okie state

Got to finish now! For some reason, no team looks very impressive to me.

@wissox so now 1?

Love seeing the Kentucky crowd filing out of KU's own Adolph Rupp arena, crying, chagrined, carrying their bottles of moonshine, firing up their 72 Ford pickups with a couch in the back for all 12 of the extra family members, tobacco juice staining their kentucky shirts, a real pathetic sight to see.

@Crimsonorblue22 Assuming they lose it'll be two different.

not a lot of defense. Nearly 200 points scored.

Kensucky, Dook, KSUCK and Fizzou all lose. Meanwhile we are back to being tied at the top of conference. All in a Saturdays work

Scott Drew ejected for crossing the line of the coaches box? Have they seen Kim Mulkey coaching from the center circle or Shaka Smart playing lock down defense on guys he's coaching against?

Missouri has lost 9 straight games.

Tang and Gates both having major regression seasons this year feels great.

@wissox that so wild from the stand point Cal and Shaka spend more time out of the box than in. Bruce Weber several times ran into not only our players but others during his coaching career.

Anybody watch that dang ISU /Baylor--mercy the effing of that game was just bizarre, never seen such a thing before

@jayballer67 - ref’s got it right too!

Funny stat from X today, with yesterday’s loss Fizzou drops to 0-9 in sec play meanwhile we have a 3-0 record vs SEC teams. With 7 games left does Kansas win more SEC games than Fizzou?

@kjayhawks There's a real chance they go 0-18 at this point. Yesterday was by far their most winnable game against Vanderbilt. Their other two remaining winnable games against Arkansas and LSU are both road games so I wouldn't be surprised if they run the table at this point.

There are things that are a shame, and other things that are a damned shame. Then there are things that make you just feel like Providence rewards the best and punishes the worst. Any guesses where U-Muzuh falls?

UNC with a letdown loss against Clemson

@rcjhdraft yep that’s exactly why I said KU still had a one seed shot with a win last night. Clemson prob isn’t a tournament team and UNC lost to them at home.

Yeah makes me more pissed about this loss. Every time this team has had a 1 seed or the #1 ranking in front of them they blow it against garbage opposition

@rcjhdraft I get mad everytime I think about. I’m starting to question our strength and conditioning if we are so tired all the time when other teams don’t seem to be. Bring Hudy back this soft

@kjayhawks said in Other bball games:

@rcjhdraft I get mad everytime I think about. I’m starting to question our strength and conditioning if we are so tired all the time when other teams don’t seem to be. Bring Hudy back this soft

It's inexplicable given the experience on this team to be this soft on the road

I get mad every time I think about it too. The dude threw the ball by himself out of bounds. Zebras somehow didn't see it. The dude stepped in the lane before Kevin missed his FT. He at least had a chance to make good.

WVU. Refs call a clean steal a foul. Would've loved to have seen how that game turns out. No guarantee we win that one, but bad call almost assuredly takes away what would have been a tie.

ISU. Refs miss a travel and ISU makes a "dagger 3" as ESPN shouts. Well there's maybe no dagger three, instead there's KU with the ball and a chance to tie or even win at the buzzer.

3 losses in a row where strange bad calls all worked against us. Does that mean we're still only smarting over a loss somehow to Central Florida? Probably not. Other things would have needed to happen for us to win all three of those but we'll never know because the refs didn't give us that chance in those situations.

Now both of my teams suck.

@wissox Thats a bad bad loss there.

So Auburn vs Alabama last night the teams combined to shoot 85, yes 85 free throws.

@kjayhawks f that game. Refs just need to swallow the whistle so we can bitch about missed calls, but at least the play on the court decided the game.

@dylans I’d rather bitch about missed calls than calls that they just guessed on.

Counterpoint. They should call that many fouls every game until teams stop hacking on every trip down the floor.

With UKs home loss today, that is 3 in a row in Rupp.

@kjayhawks Wow, basically since everyone fawned that they finally were getting Ivisic eligible as a 7'2" guy with guard like abilities and they're going to be unstoppable now. We'd be in full meltdown here if we lost 3 home games in a row. Can't remember ever losing 3 in a row in AFH. In 1988 we lost 3 of 6 there, and then avenged all three in the last 3 games of the Big Dance!

@wissox

I'm not sure Cal spends 3 minutes in practice on the other side of the ball. Boy they are Swiss cheesy

@wissox I think the 2018 team lost 3 at home if I remember correctly but it definitely wasn’t in a row.

I guess I don't know why I just can't acknowledge that I guess Iowa State is just dam good. - - I kept saying they are not that good, all they do is go out and win.- -They don't seem to have a lot of trouble on the road.- - Up 10 on Cincinnati tonight, ranked 10th in the Nation. pass the ball really well - -this sucks. - but got to give some credit where credit is do-- they are just good - -force turnovers - -shoot 39 % from the 3- -what can you say

@jayballer67

Part of what Self is alluding about in his post game presser is the physicality in the league being over the top this year and a big part of that is Iowa St and what the league has allowed them to get away with. I don't blame Bill one bit for finally calling out the league on it

@BeddieKU23 It's not just Iowa St. Most Big 12 games are starting to resemble the old Big East from 20 years ago with the physicality league wide.

@Texas-Hawk-10

I think specifically Iowa St is driving a lot of it this year but yes, in general the officiating has done nothing to stop it. They are consistently getting away with a level of physical play that I don't think gets rewarded in the tournament.

The officiating sucks this year. It's way too selective. And the officials are inserting themselves on the game in weird ways -- like instead of managing the physicality of the game, they are quick to give technicals for ticky tack stuff like coach disagreeing and throwing coaches out for stepping out of the box (Drew and Self). But again, it's selective (focusing the two coaches that have won an NC?) because you can see some coaches all over the place.

Apparently this is what happens when Higgins is bumped up to the office. Boo.

Wow. Holtmann out at OSU. You don’t see midseason firings very often. Will be a highly sought after gig

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other bball games:

OSU is atrocious this year. Never thought we'd see a season where them and Michigan are the bottom feeders of the Big 10, even in basketball. OSU is very similar to Texas in how they view basketball and while it's definitely a good job, I don't know I'd call it an elite job.

I'm also thinking Michigan will probably be open this year as well with how far they've sunk the past couple of seasons.

Iowa State just kicking the crap out of Tech - -up 21 - - Their Physical -Their dirty - - -but their good/legit

I don’t understand how Houston is kicking tail every game. Is Sampson a great recruiter, finding those gems Self and teams miss? Is he a great motivator, every game? Does he have a better all around staff for recruiting and teaching?
-Their defense is physical and fouls aren’t called. They generally hit shots when it counts, either through talent or coaching.
- I was certain they would be an average team in the Big 12, but it turns out KU is the average team. 😫

KU must win today to keep pace with bunch of other teams - -we win we be 1/2 game ahead of Tech , TCU ,if BYU wins they be there too.

@jayballer67 KU lost their chance to win this conference blowing leads at UCF and KSU. I think we can get back on track today but we ain’t winning this conference. Need way too much help.

TCU hits a late 3 to down KSUCK in Methattan, probably making the B12 tournament a must win for an NCAA tournament birth.

Kelvin Sampson is a very good basketball coach amd has been for 40+ years, that's why. This is not his first go around in the Big 12. He did coach OU for 12 years and made 11 NCAA Tournaments and only finished outside the top 3 in the Big 8/12 twice, and never had a losing conference record. He also won a Big 12 regular season title, 3 tournament titles, and made a Final Four in 2002. The man has a career .684 winning percentage and is generally considered a top 5 active coach.

Connecticut is ripping Marquette.

Oklahoma has cooled down on there 3"s -wonder if we could hit one sometime

What the hell Kevin

Juan Finally

Kevin FINALLY

UK spanking Auburn

Wow Virginia beats WF in 1980s big East style of game while shooting 9% from the FT line 😳

WOW , Ohio St taking it to Purdue right now. -- Now it's early right about 12 minutes to go in the 2nd half but Ohio St up 12- - -got this Dude name Battle just killin it from the three. -- Ohio St defenders just like a bunch of pesky knats everttime they try to get Edey the ball

Good for him!

Scott Drew gets T-d up for stepping across the coaching box line, but watch this and no technical was called on Willard. Watch where his foot is when the ball comes up to him.

The Purdue loss was super enjoyable for me.

@BShark

He gets fouled a ton but he's getting a lot of benefits as well. It was pretty clear the ref's wanted that game tight late which they got but Ohio State made their FT's late to seal it

I don't know why refs hate us this year as a whole but they do. Hunter/Kev/KJ don't get nearly the favorable whistle others do

I'd really like to see AI applied to officiating.. Not to remove the officials from the game, but to help drive consistency across the board. It wouldn't be hard to build a model of plays (both with fouls and no-calls) and then have it show the likelihood that a play would be result in foul and on which player.

Imagine seeing contact on a play and the model references thousands of similar plays with similar contact and it shows on the screen that this was called a foul 87% of the time.

That would be instructional for the officials when they see which of their fouls are called the way they called it less than 25% of the time (that is, 75% of the time it is no call or called opposite). And it would hopefully eliminate some plays that are called differently 95% of the time... Like in this case, where a coach is off the bench, on the court during the game and grabs the ball in play... And then contrast that with a coach with one foot out of the box on the sideline getting a T or the shadow of a player's heel over the line and the player is called out of bounds.. Ridiculously inconsistent management of the game.

The goal would to be drive officiating toward norms.

@dylans Wiscy plays Maryland tomorrow, I'll report back to how he behaves. Edit, check that, I'd like to watch but it's on Peacock.

@Crimsonorblue22 Maryland ball. No penalty for Willard believe it or not.

@dylans I feel like the B12 refs got together and said we ain’t getting accused of being KU homers anymore. I feel like we don’t get crap for calls home or road at this point. I don’t have the metic or know where to get it but it seems like we shoot about 8 FTs less per game than opponents. Yet Hunter and Kevin get fouled often with no whistle

The funny thing is Hunter is getting fouled less (officially) and going to the line far less at Kansas than he was at Michigan. And BIG fans complain all the time about how the refs let too much go in that league which hurts them in the tournament where refs then start calling more fouls.

@BShark I’m with Self. The refs are allowing too much physicality in the Big12. Normally that would favor KU, but someone is going to get hurt.

Wow, UConn hasn’t beaten a ranked team on the road in 10 years. Makes you even more thankful for Billy Eugene

I looked up the big 12 tourney bracket, as of yesterday, we have the 5th seed. Baylor and tt are tied w/us but have 3 and 4. Is that right? We would play at 11:30 wed. Of course, that could change and will. But if we stayed tied how does Baylor have the seed over us? Guessing they beat tech. Top 4 have byes.

So does a Houston loss or Baylor loss benefit KU the most? Or, does it even matter since there's no difference between second and last in the league.

Baylor. KU is 2 games back of Houston amd tied with Baylor. I'm also very skeptical that KU can win a share because I don't think they can win out with road games at Baylor and Houston left and KU is already a game back of ISU and I don't see ISU losing again as BYU is their only tough game left and that's at Hilton.

Let me just say this - - - --- Houston is GOOD -- - - - -DAM GOOD period, end of story. - -leading Baylor 25-10 at Baylor making them look stupid

Holy Crap perfect example of what BeddieKU23 has been talking about. The Physicality in the Big 12, Baylor player drives the lane and just gets mugged by Houston player and NOTHING called geez

Pretty simple to me if Houston can beat Baylor which it looks like they will with ease, they likely win the conference. 2 games up with 4 to go, would take a catastrophic end to the season for them not to win.

UH is two up on Kansas, not two up on 2nd place. ISU is only one back of UH and have a pretty soft schedule left with only OU amd BYU as tournament teams left and both of those games are in Ames.

Baylor only down 3 with 3:34 left.

Missi missed his And One FT for the lead, Shead makes his shot, but it was after the buzzer for Baylor and UH are going to OT.

Didn't cut away for me. Probably depends on where you live though.

CBS is a cluster... They tell you to go to the CBS Sports App to watch the end of the UH/BU game.. I did that and clicked on the game and it was showing the Arizona game. There was no way to watch the OT of that game.

Unbelievable.

They need to learn how to run a broadcast network in the age of streaming.

Watching the game, I have to say I’m shocked we were able to beat both of these teams at home because we ain’t winning against them on the road.

Great game until really dumb decision by Wake to throw the lob. Up 5 and should have been going to the FT line the double bonus, but now a 2 pt game...

@Texas-Hawk-10 Is that what I read? That's pretty shocking. So do we trade our resume for theirs? 2 championships in that time, but with some down years or our year after year mainly in the top ten receiving top seeds the majority of the time? I know we've discussed this before. Of course they could win again and I wouldn't be surprised. 6 championships in 2 1/2 decades is pretty amazing stuff.

Filipowski got run into by fan and is limping assisted down the tunnel. Of course it will take a Duke guy getting hurt to get them to do something about it.

This is going be a very ugly situation for Wake now. Looks like Filipowski got hurt by Wake fans during the court storming. As much as we all hate Duke here, that's not something that should happen.

So Clark knocked the wind out of herself? I'm sorry, but GTFO with that take. You don't knock the wind out of yourself flopping.

At this point, the only way to way to stop court/field stormings is for the home team to forfeit the game and give the win to the other team. That will stop court/field stormings almost immediately.

OU beats OSU with a buzzer beating 3. Wow.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I’ve seen people get shot have less of a reaction than Clark. I agree that there zero reason to touch the players, I just think she sold it all hard but who knows.

On the other hand you have these idiots storming the court mass chaos just so they can group up with a bunch of other idiots so they could hop up and done act like fools.

Hell half of them probably didn't even know why they themselves why they were storming the court- - -only that a bunch of other kids were doing it so it must be fun, to hell if someone got hurt. - -Got to be stopped

@Texas-Hawk-10 I haven’t seen it yet but Clark’s was a total flop by her but if this truly happened and hurt him, that will spell trouble. Never know, Traylor got bumper for us at KSUCK and an ISU broke a leg one year to no changes.

So Clark knocked the wind out of herself? I'm sorry, but GTFO with that take. You don't knock the wind out of yourself flopping.

Not saying Clark flopped, but Bryce Thompson tore his labrum flopping. You can absolutely hurt yourself flopping.

And at what point did Clark go to the ground after she got hit? It wasn't immediately or even after the spin. That means she got hit hard enough on the contact with that fan that it knocked the wind out of her at that point. If Clark had been hit in a different spot that hard, rib injuries then become a possibility as well.

Filipowski was oblivious and clotheslined a kid who then hit his knee. Have some awareness. I dont think we need our athletes retracted further into their bubble of exceptionalism, Duke being the poster boys for exceptionalism, and I dont have a problem with court stormings.

@dylans I'm gonna flop the next time my wife bumps into me. I'll report back to you about it!

Why don't they just make it mandatory for the players to leave the court first- opponent then let fans and home team enjoy. There is no need for players to get hurt that's for sure over this, even if it is Duke
