🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Really O'ahu, but still Hawaii. What a field: #1, #2, #4, #7, #11, and UCLA. Possible Dickinson/Edey match up. I know this won't happen and yes, I'm not a HOF coach, but I sure wish Coach would limit the starters to 20 minutes or so against Charminade. Our guys ran out of gas in the third game of the Bahama's tourny last year and got thumped by Tennessee 64-50. The Charminade game should give Coach the opportunity to rest the starters and get some good minutes in for the bench which was barely noticeable on the scoreboard during the Kentucky game. KU must get points from Parker, Johnny and Nic; the Charminade game is perfect to get the bench a bunch of extra minutes. But, I'm still expecting to see the starters on the floor with 6 minutes to play, then the substitutions start.

I never did see how much the Illinois game raised for Maui. I'm going to miss the high school like gym the tournament is played at on Maui. I'll look in on the early games, but will have to catch the Marquette score tomorrow.

@stoptheflop Illinois said it raised more than $1 million for the Maui Strong fund

@tundrahok is that just them?

With FAU's loss, it's very likely Gonzaga moves into the top 10 this week making it 5 top 10 teams.

For KU to win, it's very likely they'll have to be a pair of top 5 teams to do so.

@Crimsonorblue22 I think they meant the whole event. Self said the game raised about the same amount.

Seen that in this tourney we have the # 1 - - - # 2 - - -# 5 - - -# 7 -- & # 10 teams in ESPN power rankings : -- KU , Purdue , -think Tenn was # 5- - Gonzaga brought up the rear. -- That my friends is a LOADED TOURNEY

Is KJ playing or staying home with family?

@wissox he's headed there today. Might not play today, hasn't practiced. Tomorrow, for sure. Ready to be w/his extended family! Has been staying in close contact w/team.🫶

@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks. I knew you'd have the answer!

I'm hoping we see Purdue. Good matchup between the bigs. Will do a little head to head research between Zach and Hunter.

Boo to the Syracuse coaching staff for wearing plain white quarter zips. Colorful (tastefully obnoxiou) shirts and sneakers are the proper attire for this tournament. How did they not get the message. Cuffe sighting for Syracuse.

IDK if it's the arena, jet lag, or not good shooters, but Zags were 6/32 from 3, 19% and Perdue was 4/17, 24%. I imagine this will be another game that Juan takes a break from shooting.

WOW! What a day for sports.

For me, watching US soccer first. Will stop at the half and pick up later. Turning to the Chiefs right now. Will watch on ABC so they don’t show KU score. Then later the Hawks in Hawaii!

🐦 View Tweet

Looks like KJ is playing after all.

Should be a fun game after the close earlier games.

I heard his family came too.

Oh no Bill Walton

Bill fricking Walton

Bill Walton is onto the conspiracy that is players stepping out of bounds.
We devolve from here.

Bill Walton proves marijuana is unhealthy over time.

Ha. I moved to make new more specific thread name

Let's go #Jayhawks

Pink shoes for HD

Hoping my bar clears out a little bit at half so I can get a seat closer to the KU game. It’s wild how much more people care about the chiefs now vs when I lived here in college

Ah yes my space cadet

@FarmerJayhawk Well they weren’t very good for so long. Add in the fact KU is playing a team they beat by 20 if they play terribly.

Timberlake needs to finish when wide open under the basket. Lets go Nick!

Wow NT sucks

@cragarhawk just looks like a bad fit.

@kjayhawks oh yeah it’s just jarring. Back when you couldn’t get KU off the tv for the apocalypse

JAMARI TIME

Braun has excellent bounce

@approxinfinity maybe just not fully up to speed here yet. Idk. Looks awful so far tho

@FarmerJayhawk its because you left Lawrence. To bring back Jayhawk cheer you must sing loud for all to hear.

We have quite the assortment of freshman hair

@approxinfinity oh god that would do more harm than good 😂

Just like Parker Braun 3s

ragged

@FarmerJayhawk

That was a horrendous take

@BeddieKU23 yuuup just because you’re big and white does not mean you should take 3s like HD

How tall is Jamari?

Atleast 4 inches shorter than his hair. Lol

Ok, yeah 6’4 without hair i guess

Wow nice D Swords

Its timeout time. We were sleepwalking since the break

Good grief

Not encouraging.

Get throttled by Marquette playing like this.

Hopefully saving it for tomorrow. Idk

Guess it's time to rewatch the KU-KSU football game...

Seems like we always sleepwalk through Chaminade

Shaka isnt going to beat Bill.

Another two point effort by our bench. whoooo

That looked good

These lanes are awful. Do players complain at all about the floors having weird shit painted all over them?

Ya they are hidious

KJ assist

Good D by McDowell.

Will McDowell prove more game ready than Furphy?

I feel like that will be more situational between them 2

@approxinfinity on D I think so. He’s a gamer on that end

We have looked better

McDowell reminds me of Marcus G. We will see if he can defend half as good as he was

Timberlake made a million 3s at Towson and apparently emptied the chamber

Didn't we get Timberlake for his shooting?

Lid comes off he will suddenly catch fire? Idk

There you go

That was an obvious walk, not a foul

I think the amount of PT has been pretty reasonable for everyone so far this season. Enough to continue to show what they can do, but a hook when it isnt happening.

We clearly need a few guys to lay claim to the last few rotation spots. It will shake out.

Well shit. Spots 6-8 really.

@Zabudda did we accidentally get Justin?

We can call our bench the snack pack as if you're not doing anything I could use some popcorn. So far that is.

I'm switching back and forth from this to the Chief's game and missing most of both games.

If we could just get a guy named Bieber.

@nuleafjhawk I've got it down, Pat!

@Crimsonorblue22 give me some pointers!

Half of ku watch chiefs

Wow, Braun had another nice game with 15 points and 6 boards, the NBA Braun that is. 2 assists, steal, block to boot.

@Crimsonorblue22 I wish Toney hadn't gone to KSU. I can't root for him no matter what he does.

Wouldn't call that 1st half a work of art

@nuleafjhawk lucky for you he didn’t 😂

@nuleafjhawk didn't know that!🙉

Bill Walton is the best.

@wissox THANK YOU

He blowin smoke?

@FarmerJayhawk well now I feel stupid. Why did I have that in my head?

Guess I can root for him now

@wissox said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Wow, Braun had another nice game with 15 points and 6 boards, the NBA Braun that is. 2 assists, steal, block to boot.

And a +/- of +21 and a Nuggets win.

@FarmerJayhawk YOU'RE WELCOME! I assume you're in agreement. I mean it's a game we're watching so why not have someone interesting like him.

Best Bill Walton line of the night so far. "That was the 6th worst post entry pass in the history of Kansas basketball."

Btw - Mahomes couldn't start for KU.

@wissox oh no doubt! It’s a nice change from Bilas constantly complaining about officiating and Fran coaching the other team

"I love blowholes." Bill Walton just a few minutes ago

@FarmerJayhawk He did a Sox/Angels game and said "Wow, he hit it over the fence. Did you see that?" Benetti said, "Bill that was a foul ball".

@nuleafjhawk yep, he’s out of eligibility 😜

Gene Honda doing the PA for this tournament. He's the White Sox PA guy and apparently really good because he gets gigs like this. I just saw him by the refs.

Our half court is so bad sometimes dear lord

WooHoo

We need to stop their offensive rbs

Nice play there. Gotta clamp down on boards

@FarmerJayhawk he's out of good qb'ing too. Too busy with the Royals, Whataburger and being in every commercial ever made.

I mean this Chaminade team did upset top ranked Virginia and Ralph Sampson so we shouldn't be too surprised how they're playing.

@wissox we're 4-0 vs them

@nuleafjhawk is that a thing? Holy crap people can be dumb

Man idk what to do at that guard spot but Elmarko has a ways to go

Elmarkos highs and lows are wow

Does anybody on this board have any eligibility left

Chamiade sure don't seem to be having any trouble making three's

@KirkIsMyHinrich I scored 2 points in a college game against Clark U in Dubuque. I retired right then, walked off the court on top of my game, vowed never to return.

Juan you dawg

@KirkIsMyHinrich
I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone 🤣

Kev is aiming for another triple d.

Love the inside

JUAN YOU DAWG

We could feed Dickinson on every possession tonight I'd guess and score.

Any midseason DeSousas waiting in the wings?

@approxinfinity said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Any midseason DeSousas waiting in the wings?

Oh God No

@RockChalkinTexas lol. Well, then i guess we get to see Elmarko grow before our eyes

Lets start protecting the goods here so you know our season doesn't blow up in a twisted knee or pulled groin or something.

Bill Walton living his best life

It's become the Kevin show - - ya baby

I guess when I said we could play like garbage and still win by 20 the guys took it to heart.

@approxinfinity nothing wrong with that. We watched Mario, Sherron, Frank and Tae grow up and about 10 others.

@approxinfinity they’ll get someone but don’t have any real expectations. Just someone to fill Morris’s scholarship

Kansas has not attempted a 3 point shot in second half, says Bill Walton,
After mccullar bricks threes on back to back possessions.

My kingdom for a three point shooter

Oh well. Not so much color commentator as “thai dye yogi”

More of a spirit guide than a commentator

That would have been a trey in CST.

Elmarko. Well done

Hate to say it but just stating a faact- - if w can't start hitting some J'S and or 3's the lay ups and jams aren't going to be there against like Marquette or whoever

Shooting 60.4%

This game isn’t game I expected us to play well in, dealing with KJs mom’s passing and such. Realistically if we cut a few turnovers and make some open shots, it’s an absolute massacre.

Over 20 assists again - - -4th straight game

Hunter is silly

MARKO

Dickinsons stats should have an asterisk next to them for this game and the Kentucky game, you know, not D-1 competition.

@wissox duh what real program needs OT to beat St. Joes

@FarmerJayhawk Yes, my point exactly! (did they really go to OT? I hadn't heard)

Got posters today from the Marketing Department at KU Athletics!

Great birthday 🎁

3 🏀

2 🏈

2 🏐

@wissox I just saw the box earlier, they also had a ridiculous foul advantage (idk if warranted)

NICK SCORED

That's what Nic needed

Way to go, Nick

@RockChalkinTexas Happy Birthday! 🎂🌟

29 assists again tonight over 20 assists

ya it's not going to be like that against stiffer competition , Kentucky is D-1 but I know what you mean teams like tonight he should do that with that height advantage

Hope to check in tomorrow night. Mike's sister and her son and daughter in law are leaving Emporia tomorrow to come for 🦃 day.
I need a #Chiefs win for double dubs tonight 💛❤

Not looking good

Dude dropped a pass, looked like a Bear.

Well, that didn’t work out so well! At least the Jayhawks won.

Looks like we get Shaka’s squad next? They got any size?

Helluva box score for McCullar and Hunter. Wow.

I’m ready to trade Timberlake for a Chalupa. Think Taco Bell would take that deal? :)

Elmarko had one or two lightning fast plays. I hope we see more of that soon.

Furphy needs strength for sure, but I hope he doesn’t put on too much weight. Tonight it seemed he was a bit slower on the ball than I thought. He’s big, but don’t want him to lose any potential on ball ability. I don’t have a comparison player in mind for him yet.

Maybe Arterio beats the charges and comes back??

@approxinfinity - unless they rain 3’s. 🏀🤬 11 for 34 last night, 32%.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

"I love blowholes." Bill Walton just a few minutes ago

He was on another planet during the game.

@BShark agree completely, he’s so far out there. But I’ve never heard him give us love like he did last night — the program, the ethos, Self, the players. It’s as though someone spoke to him after the last PAC 10 v KU game he called. He even learned some of our player’s names (or he’s been practicing using a cheatsheet).

Scary thought: I just realized that with the death of the PAC 10, Bill needs a new gig, and calling Big 12 games would be a natural, given the new teams. This tourney is his big audition!

YAZA -- YAZA-- -- we don't tip off till 9:30 tonight , better take me a lil nap lol

@jayballer67 I'll have to watch it tomorrow (hopefully). I can't stay up until almost midnight anymore. Getting old is fun.

What time is the game today?

@HoraceZontal :face_screaming_in_fear: :weary_cat_face: :face_screaming_in_fear:

@rockchalkjayhawk 10pm

@nuleafjhawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@jayballer67 I'll have to watch it tomorrow (hopefully). I can't stay up until almost midnight anymore. Getting old is fun.

lmao , I'm right there with you . but I'm gonna put in the ol American try and stay up and watch it through. - -I may regret it, Marquette may be smaller but to me look like they out quick us , could be wrong might be my old eyes deceiving me - -it's gonna be tight I think. - I actually thought UCLA was going to win that but there you go lol

Man has been mentioned here on this thread , and I'm beginning to think -- OH NO they may just be right. That is with the Big 1 adding the 4 corner Schools and the Pac 13 becoming non existent I'm afraid they gonna try and Sneak my sir head Walton- - I swear that guy talks about anything and everything , he just goes off on a rant about what ever -- I mean this guy is out there

Watch they will slip Walton on our Big 12 games- - -some anyways with the 4 Schools now joining us.

9:30

Ima feared a this game! In Europe for the rest of the week. Waking up at 4:30AM & 5:30AM to see scores really puts a damper on the next day!

@Gorilla72 Dude! Wake up at your normal time. They're going to win or lose regardless and you'll be better rested.

Bilas is showing his love to Edey.

@patoh3 oh my gosh! Sickening! Everyone!

Glad we don't have these refs.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Glad we don't have these refs.

I'm not. I really wanted to watch a FT contest. So disappointed.

How late are we going to be? This is wild

We'll be lucky if we tip off by 10. Foul every possession in this match. It's unwatchable. Not really the refs' fault either, because both UT and Purdue are out of control.

Tennessee another year with the kind of physical play that shouldn't be tolerated

@BeddieKU23 Yeah, I thought the Big Serbian guy was bad last couple years, but this is deliberate Brick Barnes coaching thuggery.

@BeddieKU23 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Tennessee another year with the kind of physical play that shouldn't be tolerated

Purdue has shot 41 FTs. I wish we had gotten that kind of whistle. Instead they just fouled Dajuan out for no reason.

You figure it's a half an hour after the end of the game. So ya w looking at 10 at least

76 free throws combined. Probably 4 more in the last 9.5 seconds. What a game.

Almost going to get to 80. What a fustercluck

@DanR said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

76 free throws combined. Probably 4 more in the last 9.5 seconds. What a game.

Woof

Was that Purdue fan flexing? Good grief my fingers have more muscle.

78 FTs is too many FTs

Purdue shooting almost 50 free throws is just ridicilious

From what I saw, they could have called more fouls. Wasn't a basketball game.

Lets win so that all of our players don't get hurt against Tennessee

Well we might as well not even step on thefloor ball game already over. - - Greenburg and Jay Willliams already all over Marquette ---we forefit - let's not play - -ROCK CHALK

@jayballer67
Yeah, drives me crazy when Harris gets no love. He was only the starting PG on a national championship team and national defensive POY!!

Beat that team from Wisconsin!!

El Marko going to play any D?

Wow, looked at the box score of the prior game. Must've been hard to watch

I don't get nervous until the last minute.

We're gonna be fine. Getting a ton of good looks just running base stuff

Just got here. Glad to see we are competing early.

Get that initial push out of the way - - settle in. This fast pace might hurt Hunter

Hawaii is the only state I haven't been to... one of these days.

I have that shirt

Click

That’ll work

Hunter has hit a couple of those deep baseline 4 footers that have me shaking my head

come on Furph

El Marko did a good job staying in front. Helluva shot

Marquette bricking FT's. 1-4. Of course they're shooting a lot of FT's and they're not calling fouls on them. 3-0 foul count

@approxinfinity needed a tiny bit of help

Thought he walked

Dajuan rooked

Hey its not Bill Walton

Gotta handle pressure better

Hard to win when you turn it over every possession

@approxinfinity :crying_face:

slow it down a notch fellas

Man Dajuan is so good at making up for turnovers. Its uncanny how often he turns over the opponent on the very next possession

Just to sped up- -settle

Hunter is getting every single shot he wants

I mean if he gets hot he could score 40

@approxinfinity something you shouldn’t type for a senior pg

Juan turns it over

10: OMG MUST LOG ON

@FarmerJayhawk Juan gotta be aggressive

He has never handled pressure well

He needs to score!!!!
Eventually this board will agree he can’t just defer offensively as we don’t have the horses

@kuballin10 nope. Bad take.

@DanR said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Hawaii is the only state I haven't been to... one of these days.

Ya gotta go! I haven't been to many places and it's been so commercialized since I've been there, but the minute we stepped off the plane, thought I was in heaven. Just the smells.

Just lay it in, Nic

Good grief nick

I'll do other things instead of enduring DaJuan criticism again.

@FarmerJayhawk he turned down a 3 and hit a floater

Hasn’t looked to score since

Need Juan back in Bill!

Rebound

I don’t know if we know what a rebound is.

Nick is broken

Timby stinks

no double down help, wtf

Why do they keep saying nick can shoot. He clearly cant

Marquette gonna win by 10-15

Timberlake come on man. Just make buckets, its what you do

@wissox Juan had a rookie turnover
Someone else mentioned it above as well

I don’t care if he turns it over if he’s aggressive and looks to score

Mason mentality

Nick down bad

Kev with the senior leader t.o.

Bounce pass brother

This Self d is atrocious

Timberlake - - 0-2 ft - -Missed three - -- & gets his ass beat on the drive- - -- Great job

No f’in rebounding!!!

Kev is like… really good

Kev with the plow through LOL

@KirkIsMyHinrich once you admit Juan gotta score and this board shows an ounce of acumen for the game

Juan’s gotta pass and run the team gtfo that’s how this years team losses

They making us look silly

@DanR you know you miss me

This board blowing sunshine gets old

Zero reality

@jayballer67 the truth man dropping bombs

U the man

I think this game would have looked more appropriate in the little gym they usually play in

@rcjhdraft said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Nick is killing this team

Just Killin us.

Kev saving this game so far.

@approxinfinity I’m not doing anything except asking him to shoot and hunt his shot

U know what self has said

Yeah total hammering juan….geez

KJ has had a couple nice assists

@BShark u were off on ur Knecht scout

I know Marq ha at least 8 offensive rebs - -got to box out bette

7 offensive boards for marquette, 4 missed ft in a row for KU certainly are the difference at this point

Jones going right at Harris

You all not even watching

@kuballin10 your top rated post is one where you said you were trying to be more positive. I think youve lost touch with that sentiment and i wish you would refind it.

ESPN you idiots, we can hear DWade, don't need to see him. But while you're at it ask him about his last game in college.

@wissox ask him about his love life🤢

Weak take

Twice

We suck offensively and turn it over

Self leveled us down

Certainly not today

8 turnovers and Marquette 10 offensive rebounds tells the game

Marquette not looking good we just are sucking more.

There is the starting 2 guard Bill doesn’t play much

nice stroke by Jamari

Mari can ball. Gonna see a lot more of him

I thought Jamari should have put that up, but the assist bug is strong with this team

This is awesome

Bill hates shaka

Yes please Shaka get chippy

Jamari is adding a positive spark to KU

Shaka made this bed

@FarmerJayhawk Yeah right

He checks in 8 min mark and out with first mistake then doesn’t play second half

Well, that wasn't much of a dustup

OHHHHH - - -KT - - - -was hot ! ! !

Hunter knows how to make the other guys look guilty by taking contact and falling.

@FarmerJayhawk nah according to u he has a long way to go in practice

@kuballin10 I hope to one day be as happy as you are miserable watching Kansas basketball

Looked more like the coaches wanted to rumble LOL

@FarmerJayhawk that’s gonna be tough lol

@kuballin10 I hope to one day have the self assurance you do when making up things I’ve said

McDowell showing more then a lot of others

My wife has to tell me what Jay Williams says because i just tune him out, dont even hear him.

Shaka is such a little b$&tch

Shaka can get lost

@approxinfinity said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

He sounds like the adults on Charlie Brown movies

Mcdowell is going to eat up all Tumberlake minutes in near future seems like

reverse the ball, guys

Various obvious Marq just quicker

Triple Hunter and we shrivel

Juan awful both ends tonight

We go as he goes

Can’t afford to not score

12 turnovers. Really bad

Hope we got the slop out of the way this half. Geez.

@BeddieKU23 but we got sr players bro haven’t u heard

We need to ramp up our intensity.

C- on O
D+ on D

Really can't play much worse and we're still in this

About right

“Shaka are you prepared to get punked and leave this arena muttering and shaking your head?”

Shaka is sweating a lot for a little skinny dude

@DanR it takes a lot of energy to be that big a d bag

@DanR it's having his hair back

Take care of the ball and get better on the boards and we’ll be fine

@BeddieKU23 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

12 turnovers. Really bad

12 turnovers, and Marquette 11 offensive rebounds , they have just taken us out o our game with their quickness & pressure-- - gotten in Juan's head. - -Just a bad half. - -hopefuly Coach get things turned around, I don't know they pretty quick - -Trying to post Hunter just don't think gonna work to fast paced game -- wild passes right now

12 turnovers and gave up 10 offensive rebounds. That's most of the problem

@approxinfinity what about that half makes u think we floor the script?

We have 1 offensive threat in Hunter and teams dare everyone else to shoot

We don’t have any other shooters except Juan and Jamari

What do u all think we should do

Not dic ER son

Missed it here - what was the spat about? It looked like Bill was the most disgusted I’ve ever seen him - directed at Shaka.

Simple, protect the ball, box out on the defensive glass, and make a FT.

KU is beating themselves tonight so far.

@FarmerJayhawk Who’s gonna score?

@Texas-Hawk-10 Nah Marq just completely dominating. Quicker, better with the ball, more aggressive driving the paint and shooting

@kuballin10 like most games in the history of basketball, gonna have to be multiple people. But it ain’t complicated. Take care of the ball, block out, just don’t beat ourselves. We’ll get back in it if we do those things.

Ah yeah that checks 🐦 View Tweet?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

I think pretty simple in a lot of ways. This is just not a type of Hunters game - -to fast paced , double teamed making it hard

So mcCullar said something after making a 3 and Shaka says shut the fuck up while running on the court and he’s allowed to coach the rest of the game? Get off the floor coach, you’re not a player.

This dudes shot is fugly.

@dylans I hope one of our dudes just truck sticks him when he’s on the floor. Auto T

Still getting murdered on the boards

We arent finding the 3rd side to feed Hunter

We are getting ran out of the gym

Obvious Bill told Juan to shoot at half

This is like tenn last year except we gonna lose bad twice

We are 12-18 range team honestly

It's about to get ugly

@kuballin10 damn that high?? Figured you’d say we’re right there with Sarah Lawrence College

@FarmerJayhawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@kuballin10 damn that high?? Figured you’d say we’re right there with Sarah Lawrence College

Not to worry my friend - -another opinion here to disagree with your friend lol - -Were top 5

Elmarko and Timberlake need to go on an expedition and find their lost shot.

Step up the D, Juando

@FarmerJayhawk Self would say ymca so I’m being soft on them

Kev and Hunter is all we got than a bunch of jags who can’t shoot, don’t look to score or attack the paint. Keep saying the team 2 years ago props up players that’s the Alex smith syndrome

Marquette isn’t even a final 4 team. UConn would roll them.

Marq plays quick, free mind and aggressive

Bill still has us trying to run all his stuff to perfection which takes 3 years to learn.

We arent gonna win when we shoot like this. There will be off nights but it would be nice if everyone wasnt cold at once

@DanR Dude’s been getting worked both ends like a jv point

That’s Bills guy though so Bill can live with the results

Running scared layup sped up my goodness that’s atrocious

Poor Hunter wasting his talents here with this trash assembly of a team

We're just taking stupid shots. No flow on offense.

This team looks like it's practiced together for about 12 seconds at best

@jayballer67 You watch the tourney? How’d each team do last year?

UConn’s legit and Dhaka’s won 3 tourney games since 2011….hes a wuss with a p. Self should have dropped him at mid court

Tired of having unathletic slow guards who can’t score.

It’s 2023 college basketball Bill.

Yeah. Panic mode. Need to calm down and play our brand of ball. They rattled us early, got under our skin and won the mental game.

@DanR That’s cause marq is quicker and plays in ur grill d

@kuballin10 wtf I’ve never said anything like that lmao. If you’re going to keep making shit up about me it won’t be worth my time to say another word to you. Shape up or gtfo

finally doubled down on D

@cragarhawk Same for all teams with transfers …..our system is so complicated to pick up unless we have jr’s and srs who’ve been Here for 2-3 years we labor

we're just standing around on offense

I know this much - - Marq this same group of guys that you said they would roll - -umm one more time like I said beat their ass both times they met PERIOD

looks like MQ is getting tired

@DanR Offense is to complicated and we don’t have guys who can “create their own shot”

Hey another turnover

Kev, than Hunter now Hunter again

3 d stops and 3 offensive turnovers

Bill dumb it down man don’t level us down

There is that guy that can't score again - - Dam it Kevin stop that

Get it under 10 and amp up the D

@jayballer67 Kev and Hunter only 2 guys who even look to score….

Looks like Bill has his teams emotions in check for now.

Furphy is doing a lot heavy lifting on D. Where's the help, HD?

@jayballer67 Kev and Hunter only 2 guys who even look to score….

So now you want to say Kevin can score - - -amazing

@jayballer67 you read my other post wrong…I’ve never said that

I’m appreciative of everything Juan has done here but I’m so ready to have an attacking point guard again. - tyohawk 247 board gets it

Pg’s control pace and the game. Ours doesn’t and that title he owes the team for carrying him. He played 5 minutes of D second half and he’s crowned untouchable

@jayballer67 you read my other post wrong…I’ve never said that

Huh - -what did you say something ? - - my bad -- just thought you was trying to throw some more shade

Kevin is the hero we need

@jayballer67 We are getting worked and this board is silent cause they think we are the number 1 team with the best roster of all time

Bill is struggling to evaluate talent lately and then integrate it into “his system and expectations”

YMCA hawks just for @FarmerJayhawk

Juan picks up his dribble around the elbow
Can’t even beat my grandma off the dribble

Your a trip - -all I got to say roflmao

Looks a lot easier for Marquette to score than KU. Rough sledding, but still a little time to pull it out.

We are gonna lose tonight, tomorrow, uconn at home and the big 12

It’s the Lawson bros with a better Dedric ie Hunter

@dylans U are a man of great faith

Dish it El Marko

Juan ripped

Absolute bad Juan tonight = L

Good Juan scoring 23 with 1-2 turnovers would be a W

Eventually u wise guys will catch on. Juan must be Frank with his mentality for us to be at our best.

This ones off the rails now

Hunter seems like a quitter

@kuballin10 …we are #1. It’s right there on the screen lmao.

Look nobody on this entire board said we’re a perfect team or even close to it. Plus it’s gotta be tough to play rn because one of our best players is going through the worst time of his life.

@dylans any minute now here we come. Get down 20 and then we got them right where we want them

We are trash

@FarmerJayhawk I ain’t saying a thing about kj I love that guy. He can’t shoot but dude hustles and cares more than any KU player by a mile

@approxinfinity nah don’t give up faith we are coming back baby!

Is it over, yet? Brutal, just brutal!

The lack of confidence of everyone outside of Mccullar Dickinson and dajuan is disturbing. Elmarko just refusing to attack the rim or clearly overthinking

@patoh3 Not over in my opinion. Playing at 50% effort, mentally and physically. Crank it up and steal this one.

@kuballin10 you are simply miserable to listen to. It's like a parrot that just keeps yammering the same thing over and over man.

@kuballin10 this entire team cares way more about KU than any of us ever will. No matter how much you to draw and quarter them

@DanR If they haven’t cranked it up yet, then it is unlikely to happen.

@FarmerJayhawk where is McDowell? This one is over …zero minutes second half

Bill is so predictable and needs a staff shakeup. Bunch of wussy yes men who don’t bring anything new

@rcjhdraft Man U blind if u include Juan lol he’s baddd tonight

This is one of those years where you can expect some early losses.

Alright Nick

@kuballin10 about that new thing https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Season/2024-Basketball/Commits/ ↗

@PharmacyHawk So you agree that we are number 1

jack some threes and get back in it!!

We are actually shootin the three better then they are believe it or not , 30.8 - - compared to 28.6. - -Yet you not gonna win many games when you turn the ball over twice as many times as your opponent 18-9 and give up 12 offensive rebounds

That'll probably do it. Hunter should have taken that shot from the top

That’s a hook. That kinda night

@FarmerJayhawk Freshman don’t excel…system is too complicated and maybe 1 will be decent. Flory is only 6-8 not 6-11……Labaron may play but may not cause not even curry takes Juan’s minutes

Rakease should play but “won’t pickup the offense in practice” as quickly as bill likes and ride pine

Bill hasn’t grown as a coach

@kuballin10 I feel like you should spend less time coaching from your couch and more time learning what reading comprehension is :/

@jayballer67 yep I finally blocked him tonight

@PharmacyHawk and u should learn sarcasm

I’ll be on the bench next year and make sure I tell u all Bill’s legit short comings because no one else has the nuts to

@jayballer67 man cracker…that’s bad brotha….

@kuballin10 what you said was not sarcasm lol. Man oh man you're something else.

Get your bricks out of your system Nick. I like how hes running the floor tonight. Everyting but the bucket

We need Nick to get it together. He's hustling, unlike a couple guys out there.

@PharmacyHawk I said u agree with us being number 1 which is evident we aren’t tonight…so ya that’s sarcasm genius

UConn roster constructs and plays the perfect style of ball. We are the least blue blood in terms of titles and uconn gonna win another 1

See you all in March this is atrocious to watch

Bill is arrogant and hasn’t learned or adjusted to ball in 2023

@PharmacyHawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Juan got pretty significantly outplayed by kolek tonight.

I'm not sure why Timberlake has ever seen D1 action on any team in the history of ever. But please transfer out over the break and I have no idea how a P5 team can actually field something this ugly. But the good news is it's November and maybe we have time to work on being a second round Ncaa tourney team somehow

Guys again, if youve had enough, to block, tap the name, tsp ellipsis, and block. I will unblock @kuballin10 personally after the chat, but ive had enough tonight

@kuballin10 I never even hinted at such a thought, so really your comment made no sense, let alone sarcasm. I look through the comments, you just love putting words into people's mouths over and over. Enjoy watching these games alone I guess.

No they saying on the radio 9:30 tomorrow morning

I think when we stop focusing on the target on our back we will be better off. Look forward to the process

Lots to learn from this one. Pretty bad all around.

@jayballer67 probs Hawaii time

Well our MVP is Kevin and we finally have matched our crappy first half in scoring.

@DanR I mean there's no scenario where neither are our problem? Not sure why it's one or the other.

@rcjhdraft shhh u get blocked for the truth around here

We don’t have any nba talent like last year to save us

This team was supposed to have 3 defensive studs in Kev, Juan and kj

20 wins and a 4 seed plus 20 point L in the second round

@FarmerJayhawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@jayballer67 probs Hawaii time

Oh could be, was just listening to Hanni and Gurly and they were saying we have to turn around and be right back at that time -- but your probably right - -their time

Ppl wanting to block others for having an opinion need to move back to great Britain pretty much. Whether you agree with it or not.

@jayballer67 their time, Hawaii time

Not gonna get any easier tomorrow -Tennessee is really physical

Shaka is pretty much the only coach left I really can't stand

@Crimsonorblue22 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@jayballer67 there time, Hawaii time

thanks appreciate it - - so 2:30 you say our time ?

@cragarhawk im not blocking him for having an opinion. Im blocking him because i dont feel like hanging out with him.

Its how the internet works. Works like that in the UK too.

Kevin had 24/8/3. We lose by 40 without him.

They have 1 on 1 in the post because we gotta fused them out to the three point line

Go watch a replay of what happens when we throw it into Hunter

Bill’s roster construction after running the team off was great

Whoever is scouting for us has no clue what to look for.

Clean up a few things and we’ll be fine. Get the dub tomorrow.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Kevin had 24/8/3. We lose by 40 without him.

ya, that would be correct-- - didn't realize he had done that well

It's tough to win when you can't make a pass or get open. That's humbling at best. What an eye opener.

Everyone take a deep breath. It's a long season and we have a lot of young players. It's going to be okay. Our coaching staff knows what they are doing.

@approxinfinity ya can block me too then. I say what I think no matter if you or God himself likes it. That's being free. That's being an American. If you have to block ppl to ignore what they think, that is a "you" issue. Not a them issue

@FarmerJayhawk TN gonna out muscle us and win by 8

Hey it’s not even thanksgiving and we are exposed

Next year we got Juan at point again….cant wait!

How sophisticated. Shaka no longer refers to it as havoc, its “reckless abandon”.

@kuballin10 you know you can just not watch if it makes you happier or you already know the outcome

@KirkIsMyHinrich yeah Hunter, kj, Kev and Juan are all young…for sure

Great analysis there

Change ur name ur degrading the greatest white boy from Iowa to ever play the game. Dude took me to school 1 too many times because he was the hardest, quickest white boy with an attitude I’ve ever faced. Hinrich was straight nasty

By that logic, shouldn't you be free to block other people?

We definitely played to their strengths tonight, but credit to them. Plenty of things to work on and improve and I wouldn't trade our coach for anyone else.

@KirkIsMyHinrich I'd never block anyone's speech. Whether I agree with it or not

@cragarhawk i get to choose who i block, thanks. As do you. Who is trying to force their thoughts on who here? I only mentioned that i blocked him because im an admin and warning people theyre on their own dealing with him.

@FarmerJayhawk I’m leaning that way which is unfathomable but everything I’ve said about the squad is true and Bill changed his tune about the team just before the season….he knows he failed already which is brutal to think about

Positive is KU football will be in the playoff next year with our schedule and jd6 back. Leipold ain’t perfect but he’s a grown @$$ man. Needs some analytical help with fourth downs but man what a turn around!

@cragarhawk good... for you I guess? Here's a cookie.

@PharmacyHawk no way u don’t want Self out…I’m shocked.

I’d only take Hurley and I can’t stand that guy.

Bill’s the man but he’s gotta adjust based on the new portal and nil

Didn't last year's team lose by 15 in Atlantis? They were fine eventually

@KirkIsMyHinrich you can easily choose that without blockage or mentioning it. The rest is just attention getting candy assness

@kuballin10 Bill always flips the script once games start. He’s gonna say tonight we’re not a team yet and have a lot to improve on (which… duh). Which is also not to say we can’t. Because he’s the best out there by a country mile

@kuballin10 Yo pot! Wassup! It's kettle!
Been looking for ya man, how you been?

@PharmacyHawk btw THAT'S sarcasm

KU should have better athletes than Marquette. They should have better athletes than Arkansas. They should have better athletes than USC. They should have better athletes than Auburn.

Getting run off the floor cause we can’t stay in front of anyone or get to the rim against anyone is inexcusable at Kansas. Recruit better athletes

Bill doesn’t play them even when he has them…they don’t get it in practice fast enough

Stolen for 247

@FarmerJayhawk If UConn wins back to back we can walk that thought back

@kuballin10 nope.

Oh... I don't agree with your opinion and don't want to argue. So I just don't respond. Which hurts my feelings so much. Jesus. It's so hard....

@rcjhdraft Awful analysis. The core 4 have to score and be great. Tonight they turned it over like freshman, couldn’t beat their man off the dribble, couldn’t keep their man in front of them on D and can’t shoot

Not athletic and cant shoot…it’s the 2020 team that lost to USC all over again

@cragarhawk hands microphone it's your moment. Tell them. You've been waiting for this!!

@PharmacyHawk talking to urself man that’s comical

Couldn’t tell that was sarcasm u almost had me their old timer. …glad u had to let me know a post later

@kuballin10 np. You'll learn to keep up.

Lol. I have batshit crazy family. You guys dont phase me. I’ll see you tomorrow. I’m out.

@kuballin10 I'd also love if you wrote more basketball analysis. I'm running dangerously low on TP and I had T Bell tonight 🙃

Harris just walks around dribbling when we are dying for a good shooter to shoot….he is a good shooter he just doesn’t shoot!

Man @kuballin has been saying this stuff all year

@kuballin10 wake me up when Hurley gets more than a couple top 25 finishes

@PharmacyHawk Alright I laughed at that not gonna lie…tip of the cap well played :)

I’ll see about putting something together this week with screenshots of the game and analysis but u gotta watch it first and then u can print it and use as TP

Fair?

@kuballin10 nooo no screenshots... too glossy. I learned that last time.

Jayhawks for life right???

Rock chalk everyone. Especially you KuBallin10. No sarcasm.

@PharmacyHawk pine cones! Just joking.

But(t?) seriously

@FarmerJayhawk I mean... ruffles has ridges... maybe we are too quick to judge...

Ha, that’s what I get not chatting during Games. Missed some good stuff. I think there were more blocks on this board than Marquette steals tonight! :)

Fugly. The only way I can think to describe that game. We looked so completely unathletic. How can that be? I thought Self has been making that a point of emphasis recently -- getting more athletes.

Hats off to Marquette and their douche of a %-$#@ coach for a brilliant game plan. Well executed. (Pains me to say it, but it’s true)

I didn’t think it possible, but even Dajuan couldn’t keep up.

Some positives tonight. Some.

— the soon to benched Timberlake actually made a three!

— love me some Jamari. Give him all the backup minutes, please. At least he looks like he can defend, keep up.

— Furphy had a few bright spots. Like that. Way too big and slow to guard that No 22 when he got switched, but that’s excusable. Made a shot. A quick cut and layup. Is the Light coming on?

And too many duds to count.

— Shocked at Dajuan’s performance tonight.

— Shocked that Self could not find a solution to whatever the hell they did to stifle us. Really shocked.

— Don’t you think a couple of made 3s would have freed up some space inside? Needed some shot makers.

— The old Self woulda kicked Shaka’s ass. Wasn’t even red faced. Mild reaction.

— %@#$ Shaka!

Anybody watch post game? 2 things, think Shaka didn't say what he said to Kevin. I think they asked Self about it, couldn't hear question, but Self said it wasn't the truth. 2nd thing, Saw this last night, Coach is wearing some kind of gauze under his Rt sleeve and there's a tube in it, like maybe an iv, not sure. It's kinda high for an iv. Maybe it's a monitor. Anyone notice?

@Crimsonorblue22 he’s fine. Just routine stuff

Felt like CS was just playin around tonite. Some odd lineups. Maybe thinking more game 8-28 or more than game 5

All I pray for today is no injuries. If Anyone watched Tennessee they you know what i'm talking.

@jayballer67 thankfully I went to bed before the debacle started. But you were right, they should have given the game to them to start with and everyone could have gotten some sleep.

There is a big difference between censorship and blocking a moron. No one needs to listen to that drivel. He has the right to be a miserable jackass, I have the right to ignore him. Thankfully the board give me the ability to outright remove the cancerous, fun killing, preying disease that they are. This is, after all, just for entertainment.

At least they don't play at 1030 tonite. Only silver lining I could find so far

@cragarhawk Game would have been later afternoon if we'd won!

I don't mind Shaka, obviously a minority here, but he can coach.

@wissox haha. Ya I guess there went my silver lining.

I do wonder what was said. I couldn't find a Shaka presser to see what he had to say. And CS didn't say much. Kinda laughed it off and said whatever Shaka said wasn't accurate. Lol

I'm not going to stress too much about yesterday's game because the loss didn't expose anything new about the team as far as weaknesses go in my eyes. All our warts when we play poorly are easy to see and it's why the margin for error with this squad is as low as it's been under Self. They got rattled by defensive pressure, made careless mistakes and couldn't make a simple play like catching the ball. Defensively the rebounding effort was unacceptable, and we couldn't stay in front of their guards at all. The double-digit turnovers and offensive rebounds in the first half told the whole story and it's not a Surprise the 2nd half didn't get any better.

Bigger picture, Marquette looked the better team and it was noticeable even before the first tv timeout. Marquette is a good, experienced team that is playing to its scheme and player development really well. Kudos to Shaka for what he's built there but I'm not a fan of Shaka so that's all he's getting from me.

One noticeable issue on defense I've seen is that Kentucky & Marquette has exposed KU's lack of team quickness & speed at the guard position. We have seen guards get to spots at will so far even against Dejuan, we just don't seem to have the athletes to match there. We have been slow on fighting through screens and staying in front of guys with the ball. It's good film to have for Self but I'm not sure this issue will go away either as the season goes along. The loss of Morris continues to show it's ugly head.

@BeddieKU23 💯, I didn’t even watch expecting us to get our butts kicked. The lack of athletic ability has been on show a lot thus far, we will struggle in the conference I think.

What about the continual slap the rebound out to the free throw line? It worked very well for the 6'11" guy when we blocked him out he just went above everyone. That's innovative if you have the horse to do it.
The frenetic guarding from the 3 point line and everywhere else was a feature on the 1977 national champion Marquette team coached by Al Maguire. He called it bellybutton defense. He was very colorful and funny.

@kjayhawks

We'll see how they close the gap on things as the season goes. Yesterday was a bad game and we won't play like that a lot during the season but who knows. The KJ situation certainly has had an impact.

Today, Tennessee is not only a very physical but athletic team as well. This one could be ugly if they don't shake the game off and come focused and prepared. Last night's game felt like a game that will carry over into today though, 24 hours doesn't give you the time to refresh. It wasn't like KU played well against Chaminade either outside of two guys. The pieces around Hunter and Kev have to step up or we'll have these nights.

@cragarhawk if you have espn+ post game should be on there. Also on you tube. Shaka said he and Kevin have this thing since Tex.Tech about kevin talking to the coach. Acted like it wasn't a big deal. Well it was last night. He went after Kevin. You can see on espn they have a clip. Supposedly he said, STFU. That's when our coaches and players got mad and Self said in his post game Shaka lied.

Who is going to win this game? I see both teams coming in as 1 - 1. They played Wisconsin and Purdue and we played UK and Marquette. Juan will need to be our difference maker and will be all season. There are few players like Hunter Dickinson .," I want to say there are few like Kevin but I have this niggling doubt that he is playing above his real pay grade. I hope I'm wrong and if I am he will be one of the best two way players in I don't know when. McDowell and the The Furph have something different about them. Both are unafraid to try and impact the game and don't seem to be bothered by rookie mistakes. Elmarko comes out of his bewildered state and does something special every now and then and I'm not ready to drop on Timberlake as he is hard nosed and can shoot so sweet sometimes. Parker is our big guy replacement and I'm not sure but he seems to be talented when he is not unsure about things.

Hunter and Kevin had 11 TO's between them. Ugh.

Is Timberlake the worst scholarship player in the Bill Self era?

I predict at least 6 points for Nick today. The lid will come off.

@Crimsonorblue22

If Smart did say STFU and wouldn't fess up Bill ain't gonna like that for sure and I suppose we'all do not either. An apology is up to him but it tarnishes his good win yesterday.

I really think our best option is to slow the game down and make each possession matter

Remember how many of us were down on Big Dave? We lived to regret that! Self knew what he was doing, playing for April. Nick isn't gaining confidence on the bench, you don't stop being a shooter. JMO

I used to stick up for Shaka. But hes a brat and hasnt gotten any more graceful with age.

@Crimsonorblue22 Nicks shooting is one thing being the worst defender in D1 is another. He’s not gonna get more athletic in next few months. Dave always had potential and size.

@Crimsonorblue22 I noticed it during the 1st game and initially thought it was a T-shirt. If it is a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) which is the typical location for one, then that would indicate a potential infection of the heart valve that requires a longer course of antibiotic, which is usually 6-12 weeks. But since @FarmerJayhawk says it is routine then it is more like an ambulatory BP machine to monitor his BP. High BP puts more stress on the heart valve and thus the heart.

I am conjecturing based upon my medical background. If this is not appreciated, let me know and I will keep it to myself.

@kjayhawks

Not even close. The adjustment for him is taking a while or it's something else. May not be the fit we needed on either end, so far his output is concerning. You'd think some law of averages is coming with him as we play more. Seems to lack confidence currently. Hopefully he is like many that overcome

He hit one last night. Maybe the lid is off now. We can hope

I’m taking Tennessee by 17 in this one, hope I’m wrong tho

@kjayhawks that's alot. Lol

@cragarhawk they have kicked our butt so much here lately

Good guys by 10

Nice d there

Are we that bad tho? Or just looked it last night? Maybe we just haven't played great yet

At some point elmarko you have to actually make a shot bud

Assuming KJ has a better game today.

Terrible pass there. Wow

A little sloppy so far. Quick turnaround would be rough

Nice job kj

Elmarko has a long way to go on defense. His offense will come

Love seeing Elmarko on the attack

@FarmerJayhawk

Was about to say the same

Nice block/head

Strange we play back to back against former Texas coaches.

Nice recovery. He looked burnt on that

KJ trying soooo hard

Come on kj draw a foul. Stop being cute

My neighbors having an oyster roast for Thanksgiving. I dont think i have ever had seafood for Turkeyday but i would.

The quick turnaround is some of the reason I think we get blown out.

@approxinfinity ooo that sounds tasty

Much better start then yesterday. Hopefully we can sustain it. So far we have taken Tennessee out of their pick and roll game but can't let Zeigler impact the game off the bench for him. He's fast and has no fear. Keep these guys off the paint

KJ playing to his game - lobs ad little 8-10 footers is where it is at a dose that he will be fine, playing within himself

Hope the quick turn around doesn't hurt us

Why are the late games from yesterday the early games today? Makes no sense

Doesn't happen that often Self era that we would play that bad twice in a row even on a quick turn around. Knock wood

What is that pass

@KirkIsMyHinrich If we'd won...

Whats the foul?

Omg what foul

Man more stupid turnovers

@KirkIsMyHinrich If we'd won...

Still though. Purdue-Marquette is the second game. UCLA-Gonzaga is the third game. Syracuse-Chaminade is the last game.

Omg kj

Ugh...ly

Are you kidding me kevin

Dam we have just got to start taking care of that ball. Tennessee starts out 2-10 and we can't get any separation cause we being careless

Nick Timberlake is the hero we need.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Yeah I see that now. Guessing E$PN wants these games early so they can show other marquee games tonight like Bucks/Celtics.

FURPH

Therrrrrrre's Johnny

These contested baseline jumpers for Hunter are not the easiest shot. Prefer face up 3 for Nick there

Kev!

Another declined kick out to Nick

Hunter needs to make that

Other guys might be giving up on Nick…

Wow hunter your 7'2 no excuse

KU 38 % fg right now- - - -Tenn 27 %

At least it was a layup off backboard there for Hunter. Higher percentage than baseline J

That jumper by Furphy was really good. Love the confidence

@BeddieKU23 Give him a month and he will be a huge part of this team.

He gets up! Pretty jumper

@kjayhawks

I hope so. He's got game

There you go, Nick

Nick scored, we winning today

Nice!

Just needs to see it go in

Well shit.

Walk

Ouch

Whatever

Thats a foul

A guy is allowed to just shove someone to the ground and then shoot a 3 pointer?

That was a travel and a half

Damn. Face to the floor

Concussion?

I thought something caused him to fall. Injury. Other guy did a complete roll

Tennessee fouling all over the place and the zebras are blind.

FURPH

So sick of vescovi

Feed him

Yikes

Finish that. Damn

3 yrs in and still can't make fts

Missing so many easy ones

Mari time

Like how jabari ran that, nothing fancy

MOre uncalled fouls at the beginning of that break.

My god. Can we make a layup

Missing layups by the dozen

Thats a foul holy shit ref

Bill is HOT

Wow

Wow ref your so blind

Fell on him

I've been trying to tell you guys the refs aren't calling nada

Give up more points self.

My gosh that was odd call smh

Right in front of him

Ya Kevins feet slide - - BUT why did they slide ? -- - because h e was someone rodeo ride - -OMG he got mauled

They called a T on bill

I dont mind that T. Make up calls incoming.

I don't mind that T. That was a really bad call

@BeddieKU23 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Missing layups by the dozen

ya how can you wish so many DAM LAYUPS

Jamari D def earns him minutes

Nice!

MARI

If they start hitting those we are throttled

Jamari balling. Hunter can only be great if the rest of the team is an offensive threat

Nice pass

Weird how we score when we get our best guy touches

He's better in the paint

Johnny and Jamari need to get a lot of minutes because they look like they are going to be really good in time

FREE THROWS MY GOD

FTs suck

Hm. Looked like good double down rip

Finally

What the hell was that defense

Bill's gonna be pissed about that alley oop.

Kj?

Kevin your defense is failing you. Find yourself on the offensive end ;)

Free throws an issue

@FarmerJayhawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

FREE THROWS MY GOD

Battled back to take the lead.

Niiiice

ugh take care of the ball

Good d Mari

Dang momentum killing TO there.

Wellp. Im ok with the outlet there. Lets figure these things out. That connects and its easy buckets

Good stretch there, make the free ones and some of these layups

I'm really glad I took a half day for work today. This is a lot more fun than working

It's just the placement. Lol. Lead the guy to the basket ffs

Wasnt a bad decision, it was bad execution.
Just needed more air less x axis

@KirkIsMyHinrich so far!

Jamari is showing me some stuff today.

@cragarhawk zactly

@BShark ya he's looking scrappy. I like it

@BShark said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Jamari is showing me some stuff today.

Oh good you're still alive. I was worried with how rough this week has been

@BShark so disciplined

Guys I don't know about you but I think Mcdowell needs to start playing more time, I could be al wet but just don't really think he is hurting us that bad. -Furphy at times is looking decent. - -I think by far these two at this point anyway should be the first two off the bench

@Crimsonorblue22 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@BShark so disciplined

This showed up even in his high school highlights.

@KirkIsMyHinrich fo sho. Nonprofit world has gone into hibernation for the year lol

@BShark he worries about the right things, plays D

15-6 since the technical.

NT isn't in the CS doghouse bench lock so far. So he must be showing something in practice that we aren't seeing? Idk.

Loving JM and Furph tho

Kevin's points?

Not a bounce

HD got tackled?

Beautiful

Tennessee looking disKnechted

Lol like that

Was that clean, @wissox

Juan has had a bad tourney

Hunter ha 10 points and 11 rebounds already

@Crimsonorblue22 Which play? The KJ foul? I didn't get a good look at it.

Juan is a chess master. Cant win chess with a king, and 15 pawns. As the team improves Dajuan will improve as well.

Things just seem to work better with Mari

Good hustle Johnny

Marko and JMac now

HD gotta be stronger with the ball down there. Can't be that big of guy and do that

@FarmerJayhawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Almost ready to abandon the #25 experiment. Have Jamari and Furph be your bench guys, try to get them fully ready asap.

Man we just continue to give free points away. - -Shot 56 % from free throws last night - - 55 % today -- these are free points they are giving us to take, we have got to start making these dam things

On that last play Furphy f’d up. Hunter spun in lane and Furphy collapsed. He needs to stay baseline 3 and be an option

@BShark yep #25 shouldn’t ever see the floor again IMO

Nick needs to be a 5 minute guy and if he makes a shot or two then extend it to 10 minutes. Develop the young guys

I’m not ready yet. At some point we’re gonna need a microwave guy and he’s the only one who can do it. But we’re going to have to see progress

Mcdowell just seems more confident in himself , no really stupid mistakes - -- -just better at this point , not afraid to take a shot,

Nick didnt suck before he got his head rocked. Yes the freshman have more defensive upside. But Nick might be coming out of a deep funk

Edy doesnt keep ball high. Slow. Got exposed in tournament. Wouldnt be surprised to see him struggle today

@approxinfinity said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Marquette will speed him up for sure

Depends how the game is called. It seems like when a guy like Edey is being officiated they either let him get mauled or they call a foul for any contact. I could see him struggle if it's the former

Btw VCU sued shaka for using “havoc” at texas. Thats why “reckless abandon” cracks me up

Marquette spanks Purdue IMO

They sure let Marquette maul Hunter.

Who do we have next - -U Conn ?

"We have met the enemy and he is us." If we can get out of our own way we can be really good.

@jayballer67 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Eastern Illinois 11/28

UConn 12/1

So yes, UConn basically

oh , ok thanks

Well come out strong/solid - -let's go

We are turning it over like a jv squad….something I think this board didn’t expect

Hey look another turnover by Kev right out of the half!

Kev another turnover

Greed spitting truths on 247

Self knows this team isn’t as good as he’s thought and he’s accepted a sweet 16 finish

KJ

KJ

lol

Like, if you think Self would do that you do not know Self.

November hot takes are always great

It’s not like KU teams ever get better after Christmas. Because that would just be WILD

@BShark He’s not even getting upset that we can’t handle the ball. This is almost freshman Mario and Russ rob bad with turnovers.

Agh well

Self's attitude has been telling to me, as well. It may partly be the difference between a November tournament in Hawaii and a conference game in February, but he's been a bit subdued about our performance and more apologetic than angry. More like: "well, I thought the guys played pretty hard but just made a few mistakes, and we're playing a little better than the score" than his typically angry demeanor when his teams are playing like sh*t.

Nice!

Seventy five pts is a winner. If you get there first.

This is one way to make 3s haha

@kuballin10 you said March, it's still Nov. we'll call you.

Jamari still playing well

Elmarko.

He just came out of the hospital.

@FarmerJayhawk Looking back besides 2022 we’ve been bad in March which last I checked is well after Christmas

Blow out losses to teams and “we have to get more athletic”…..was just our current guys taking the next step and bringing in Remy.

Self hasn’t delivered on more athletic since that statement

@BShark last March is quite a bit ago…u saying he was back in recently?

@kuballin10 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@BShark last March is quite a bit ago…u saying he was back in recently?

I mean after the Kentucky game. Will likely never be reported. Think he got a long term "picc line" IV set up. Had the flu and wanted to be cautious is what I heard.

@BShark holy heck that’s scary and changes a ton of things

His healthy is declining that fast that is not good

I feel for him that sucks

@kuballin10 since 2022 Self hasn’t coached in March

Oh good ie look who's here

Juan into double team

Freshman mistakes from a 10th year senior

Him and Kev are so dumb with the ball and it’s because they aren’t processing the game quick enough

MARI

Jamari

Nice

KJ! So SMART

Tenn not afraid to launch those three's lol- - Hanni I think said over twenty already

@kuballin10 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Player development is something we should keep striving for though.

Unfortunately we just had to let a bunch of guys go that didn't really develop. I'm hoping recruiting stays on an uptick now that the NCAA specter is gone.

10 steals and 14 turnovers gifts from the Jayhawks.

We are still playing hard but this is a good team without our help.

Someone banned ballin10???

8-22 on three point for Tenn

Oh, okay! lolol

@KirkIsMyHinrich look Self has never won the triwizard tournament. Choke artist smh

Huntree with 17 rebounds

@FarmerJayhawk said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

@KirkIsMyHinrich look Self has never won the triwizard tournament. Choke artist smh

Right? He got his ass kicked by Durmstrang. What a disgrace.

Parker

Ahhh Mari gotta hit that my man

Much needed break

Jamari crow-hopped into that 3pt shot. It's usually better if you just shoot it with your feet already set.

At least in my experience

@KirkIsMyHinrich ya it looked odd

I love these commercials. Taking care of the land. I could live there. Island time.

Dickinson have really good game. - -16 points - - 17 rebounds - - a block and think three assists

@Crimsonorblue22 said in MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT:

Have been there twice. Would recommend. It's as good as advertised.

We are getting tough shots to fall. If Tennessee was hitting open shots we would be behind by about 6-8 pts. Grit by Kevin, KJ and HD.

JUANDO

@BShark i banned him. This is a private board, a home if you will, not a public service. He can watch the game alone at his house. Will lift ban after game.

Fts are gonna be the end of us

You know who can make FTs? Furphy and Jamari. Keep playing those guys

Stealing minutes with Parker here has been big...

What a fake
