We are home. Round 2.. not expecting the same outcome but it would be nice to see a good response from Saturday. Let's try and stop Bryce's super bowl.

LOL, great thread name!

McCullar has not appeared in warmupsso far. Could be out

Pre game Self said doubtful. Yikes

just more good news- - Boy this year

ESPN says he’s out with a bruised knee. Might explain why he’s not playing up to norm.

The NC GT game will be on until 8:30.

Jackson starting

Just got here

Did marko and furphy both start?

Ouch

Did Hunter even touch him?

Yes

@approxinfinity

Didn't see much live. Wonder what replay will show

If i wasnt on the crappy espn app i would dare to rewind and challenge the announcers assumption

34 seconds in unc game

Well ya done did it to yourself Bryce

Looked like he flopped and banged his elbow on the floor

That sucks for him. Now we are even on injuries

good grief what a bunch of gymnastics to get this game on the Fkn app

Rock Chalk

So Kevin is hurt?

dumb goal tend. thanks!

Juan is ON IT

Juan will cut you if you let him

@approxinfinity said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

So Kevin is hurt?

Knee is "nicked up"

No McCullah McCullah McCullah. Fran is so sad.

Saving him for Saturday.

I love seeing Dooley on the bench. Still a thrill to have him back.

Defense is on it so far

So whats the deal with Kevs knee. Why was it bleeding game before last?

Kj!

longest time out in history

Marko!

Marko looks good

Think KJ Took a page out of Iowa States book. Hard hedged that dude right into baseline

Was mullet man from Baylor an aussie

Terrible entry pass by Marko...

Bad guess ref?

Defensive rebounding continues to be a problem

Smooth shot Elmarko

that was nice ball movement

Sweet

Was not expecting that KJ shot to go in lol

KJ Hunter PNR worked there but its pretty ugly

Heres some no kev no dajuan elmarko pg time

Johnny gets cooked a lot but his length is a problem

Also nick getting to handle. I like this. Still believe him being on ball in his path to redemption

Yes!

Elmarko playing with some serious swagger

Good game for Kev to be "hurt"

Love it

This is how we got big Dave ready when everyone was bitching!

Yeah so did anyone say whats really up with kevs bloody knee?

Dam the guys look so loose and free flowing tonight

Giving starters the night off may be the best way to unlock the bench, for sure

@rcjhdraft said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Elmarko playing with some serious swagger

you got it - -- he is just playing and not over thinking - - looking good

@BeddieKU23 r u gonna erase Bryce's name?😂

Elmarko has always passed the smooth eye test.... just gotta get that guy some mojo. Bring Frank Mason onto the coaching staff!

Timberlake with the 3 and Jackson hurries to congratulate him. Love the team support!

Bryce seems to be working off bad karma from a past life or something…
Getting injured against your old team while flopping.

Nice pass by Jamari

literally just running the offense without a guy trying to be a hero

Nice pass by Johnny

You guys hear about the Jackie Robinson statue in wichita? They found it burnt up. Sick! They also have the pickup. Guessing they know the dang perps. Businesses are chipping in, expensive!

snazzy dime for Jamari

Seeeee theres no crisis with this roster. Crisis schmisis

Elmarko being aggressive.

I like the aggressiveness, ElMarko even though you fell on your face

No doubt Bill playing everyone he has tonight. Hell I'm waiting for the waterboy to check in lol

Good game for guys to step up and be counted on. So far Elmarko has risen

@Crimsonorblue22 some real idiots.

Don't want to look a gift horse...but feels like we should be up more than 14. We're hitting 71+%, OSU at 28%...

FUUUURPH

Did Seth Greenberg just call Timberlake Timbalake? Is Timbalake Greenbergs mcculah?

Lots of hustle on D. Nice

Really balanced scoring so far - 6 or more points from each of the starters...

Not good if true that Kev isn't just getting rest for a bigger game

Maybe Kev needed a mental break too.

LOB

Really nice pass out of double then hustle to set screen by hunter to set that lob up

Can we schedule these guys again

@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Can we schedule these guys again

Maybe ask them for a friendly.

Not sure if we're playing well or if Oklahoma St just sucks or the universe is balancing itself out for our opponents shooting like the GS Warriors.

Furph looking athletic.

Dang 2 good looks

@KirkIsMyHinrich yeah for sure.
This feels too easy. Whats the catch?

Should be up 30, but great half

@DanR said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Should be up 30, but great half

18 is the new 30 this year.

Remember when Chris Paul was at Wake Forrest at the same time Jarrett Jack was at Georgia Tech and both had good bball teams? That happened right?

@approxinfinity f*** Jack

Tim Duncan is the most likeable WF player

For some reason, I always liked Bobby Cremins, coach at Georgia Tech. Seemed like he was there most of my life.

Nothing concerning tonight, but Man we have to have Kevin Saturday. Hope he can go

Like that not just do we have balanced scoring from the starters, but guys have not been hesitant in taking open looks. Every starter has at least 4 FGA. Good ball movement - 13 assists on 18 made buckets.

Ok no Kev no Hunt. Who steps up?

KJ steps up. 4 to 8 foot jumper beast and dunk machine

Juan apparently

@DanR said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

KJ steps up. 4 to 8 foot jumper beast and dunk machine

Wish he would add RB beast to the mix. Had 2 games where he looked like he got it, but not more recently. Just 1 RB tonight so far...

Juan is going to have an 18 point game soon.

Braun has got to rebound

Lights on Mass Street look a little better than that angle 6 inches off the pavement. LOL

Bunch of big chiefs linemen at game. Can't copy and paste

@Crimsonorblue22 too big to copy?

No, just a pic from a text

KJ reprising his role as a post well done

Nice, Elmarko!!

A Furph bucket away from all 5 starters in double figures...

not nice, elmarko. put it up right away

Hunter is pretty amazing, I have to admit. We've never had a big lug with that kind of touch.

@DanR

I'm usually shocked when he misses

Mari needed that assist Hunter.
Can you miss on someone elses dime?

Dont need fadeaways from Nick.

Yikes nick

rough stretch for nick

Elmarko should've attacked on that possession versus deferring to nick

Yeah , what the heck Nick? 2 bad shots and a bad foul on a 3 pointer. Not smart.

I love the way Furphy moves without the ball

furph and hunter in a two man game is deadly

Not much of a foul on Harris

He missed him

KJ stopped elevating before going through the roof

Frickin ESPN. Missed the first 8 minutes of the game.

Bill likes being on sportscenter can only be so mad about that errant lob

How'd they pull Fran's card twice in a week.

Just turned it on, first thought is why the heck is Juan and Hunter still in the game

@BeddieKU23 I think Fran just drives around in the central US waiting for the call. Like a vulture.

@kjayhawks marko and timberlake brains have turned to jelly. And Hunter is our second half offense, I guess

@approxinfinity unfortunately I don’t think they had to turn much

@DanR said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

@BeddieKU23 I think Fran just drives around in the central US waiting for the call. Like a vulture.

Endlessly chasing rainbows searching for his pot of gold

@kjayhawks they both did nice things first half

Lobbing to Adams is like throwing to Kelce. He's there somewhere

Jamari!

I wish Nick could make 3's

Youre right Fran, Marcus Garrett is an excellent comparison for Jamari because they are both skinny black men that play basketball.

@KirkIsMyHinrich would be handy

lol Jank

He is the best shooter tbh

@approxinfinity said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Youre right Fran, Marcus Garrett is an excellent comparison for Jamari because they are both skinny black men that play basketball.

They look similar so they must have similar playstyles.

Jank is better than Timberlake most the time

Didn't take Jank long did it lol

Bryce injury doesn't look good. might be out awhile

@kjayhawks Timberlake is a much better athlete. He just hasnt been very smart while out there. Hope he can settle down.

Nice Nick

we need to hang on to Jamari. Guy is going to be really good.

Nick did not lack for effort tonight.

Jamari's not bad

See the chiefs? Fran doesn't wanna say much! Mizzou talking crap on KU fb for playing in Mizzou next yr. Chiefs over here!❤️💙

Awesome

that was great!

Jamari Safari

Jamari needs a few more minutes IMO. Bench actually scored by the end of it lol

Rock Chalk. Might miss Saturday's game due to spousal birthday, so y'all keep positive.

A team effort.

Hard one to pick a player of the game for. Very even contributions

We finally destroyed a team we should at home. Will be #1 in Kempom tomorrow lol

Well one thing about it, Coach was able to give the guys a little rest during the game and then a little at the end -- was good - -even a bit

@approxinfinity said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Radio picked KJ - -Perfect from the field & from the line

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Jamari's not bad

All he has to do is hang in there just a lil bit. Playing time gonna increase , just don't get frustrated Jamari- - going to be a good solid 4 year player for us

Sure hope El Markso can follow up from here on. This is the 2nd time w have got a peek at what's there, way more aggressive, not a scared rabbit to shoot, just played within himself tonight free flow

KU - - 22 assists again and Okie St ? - - - -EIGHT Assists for the entire game

Box score fun!

How often do ALL our starters get into double figures?

OSU attempted 29 3pt shots.

And a buttload of FTs.

Self said Kev will hopefully practice Friday. Bone bruise on outside of knee

3D chess: El Marko starts from here on and Kev comes off the bench!

We'd have balance like last night and plenty of bench scoring/spark!

Someone already probably said this, but did we learn anything last night or is OSU just bad?

@benshawks08 said in KU vs Bryce Thompsons Super Bowl Chat:

Not much, they are that bad. Individually, Elmarko making a few shots and playing free with confidence was huge. When he's engaged you see his immense potential. Perhaps we are slowly starting to see the benefits of Furphy in the starting lineup. I thought Juan had a good game as well, he stepped up on both ends and looked a bit quicker then seen in recent weeks.

Minus Bryce! 18-20 pts

@Jayblaze Why would you propose Kevin come off the bench? I know he's a little gimpy but we can't get too gaga over Elmarko's production last night. It was a worst I've ever seen OSU team he did that against and also without Bryce.

If we really want bench production, start Braun and bring in Hunter at the first stoppage.

@wissox I was just beling silly, lol - thought it was too preposterous to be taken seriously. I'll rescind my application for assistant coach now.

@benshawks08 toooo much! Speaking of Hunter, did you see the video of Hunter running off the court back to locker room? He fell down, then furphy made a funny face. Hunter did get right up! Think he tripped on someone.

true statements you make - - but also like you say it was Okie St - -need to try and keep in perspective

Is there any word on what Bryce Thompson's injury ended up being yet?

OSU is far and away the worst team in this conference

@Texas-Hawk-10 Nothing that I can find. There was no fracture. Most likely an AC sprain, but could be a sprained rotator cuff. I would guess he will be out at least a few weeks unless he gets a steroid shot that works miracles.

Self said he separated his shoulder in post game. Also, it was hard to get it back in. Ugh!

Heard he tore his labrum, out the rest of the season.

Oof. That sucks.

I was at the game and the way he reacted it was clearly bad.

In good news Juan was great and we need him tomorrow!

EJ stepped up and hopefully has some confidence now!

Hunter looks hurt. He’s more unselfish than I thought and seems to be such a team player compared to what I’d seen up north. He needs to shoot the top of the key 3 more

Rock chalk let’s shock houston
