The radio network reports that Keven isn't warming up with the team. KU really needs this home court W.

I'll let you have the game thread!

@wissox @stoptheflop the best Texas insult gets to keep the thread lol

@kjayhawks I was just playing, I don't think Flop saw mine, which essentially said the same thing but had $ signs for the S's in it.

Coach just confirmed Kevin won't play against TX and probably not on Tues.

That sucks although it's probably more important to be healthy for March.

We can win without him.

UCF put the wood to TTech, so maybe KU shouldn't feel so bad.

This Season has became kind of a bummer. the whole Arterio Morris scene now Kevin pretty much done, missing a lot of games just kills us but you play the cards your dealt

Next man up🏀🙋‍♀️🙌

LFG #RockChalk

I'm listening to Hanni

DaJuan with the flipper

Nice pass KJ!

see if Hunter can get 30 in this one

Johnny becoming one my favorite KU froshes

Nick had a nice play early

KJ and Brock Cummingham are life long friends!!

Looked like KJ got fouled causing the turnover

Long stretch past the 16 minute timeout.

Hopefully that'll get KJ going

Good pass nick

Juan

KU isn't guarding the 3 well enough

Smh how many times are we give up wide open 3s this season.

Kentucky with an NBA score today:117 pts

@kjayhawks said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

Smh how many times are we give up wide open 3s this season.

Tx already 3/6 from 3; KU 0/2

@stoptheflop That will make Cal happy since he has stated he wants to put guys in the NBA mainly.

might have to rewind that block by braun

Furphy slam

Furphy hasn't taken a shot yet. O 3s so far

Have yourself a day Johnny

Hit his hand

Nick!

Stoptheflop do you see what I write?

Wow what a foul in the backcourt uncalled.

Oh my

OH MY!!!

Damn I like this #25

Who had Harris to Timberlake alley oop on their bingo card?

sneakyathletic

whoneedskev?

@wissox said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

whoneedskev?

wedo

nick needs to grow a mustache. It can't hurt

This offense right here is better than having hurt Kevin in dribbling too much and shooting low percentage shots

Nick playing well. he could mean so much if he could string some together

@kjayhawks one gimpy guy does slow down the entire offense

I have my new

HAIL TO OLD KU shirt on and my lucky earrings!

Keep it up and crowd needs to get loud!!

Furphy 4 boards and Dajuan with 4 dimes.

Kind of feel like Nick had his good 5 minutes and maybe we shouldn't expect a whole lot more from him

Nick playing well changes this team

Wow what an ending in Stoolwater.

Mari fired up

Parker lmaooo

When Parker catches the ball, 2 points

@FarmerJayhawk said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

Parker lmaooo

Exactly

Mari! Good things happen when he plays

Was just about to type something about the non productive bench which is still true, but at least they gave us something

Best collective stretch by the bench

Bench looks freakin great today so far

KJ WANTS THIS

Only 1 KU foul.

Maybe coach Rodney can yell something more specific at the next time out

Mari with very good minutes so far

Wow, quite the 1st half offensive explosion. Who are these guys?

that's good give these guys some breaks

Texas is making our bench look good and that's hard to do. They should be way better given their roster

Also Mari having some good bench minutes

man if this bench could just give us some minutes like today - - Big difference

Mari should have about 6 points. He's getting mugged

Our bench has 2 points, 2 boards, 2 steals, 2 dimes, and 2 blocks! If Jamari can make these two FTs, then we'll have two FTs also!

Marko wow

Wow, that would've shortened our bench if it didn't work!

Good thing Hunter caught that or Marko would be on the bench

EJ trying a Mahomes 😀

Bench, from now on, this is how you play!!!

Juando was hacked too

@DanR said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

Juando was hacked too

I thought so as well, but of course I do on just about every play!

Nice pass Johnny

I actually love it when KJ breaks the press, LOL

Sounds dumb with a 2o point lead, but we have fouls to give, lets use a couple when they get the ball back

I didn't anticipate 45 points.

@Zabudda said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

I didn't anticipate 45 points.

We've almost already scored more than Virginia did the whole game

Update. 4 points 2 boards, 3 assists including one very ballsy behind the back one, 3 steals, 2 blocks. Decent minutes from those guys.

Hot Damn. Happy Bill!

Now that it's halftime, fashion comment: Both head coaches have their quarter zips zipped all the way up. I wear mine about half mast. Anyone have a preference?

@stoptheflop I’m with you. Half to 3/4 way up.

Nice to see the bench just go play hard, that’s the difference right now. They’ve only scored 4 points but were super active. This team could be very good with a healthy Kevin and them playing that way.

Idiots on twitter (imagine that!) are blaming Filipowski. I can't stand that team or him, but good grief. Someone wrote "why is Fil... still on the court?"

Since we've been victimized including our HOF coach, why wasn't ESPN calling for an end to this back then? (maybe they were but I don't remember an national outcry for a coach who most certainly will be remembered by more people in history than the Duke kid)

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

Good thing Hunter caught that or Marko would be on the bench

Hunter had that WTF look in his eyes.

The big thing was our bench was able to give the starters a couple breaks. maybe not much , but they held fort and like Bilas said they actually up the lead. -i's just a must to get something to help these starters a break

Ya kind of insane. The player has a right to be on the court. The fans don't. And when you see about a thousand people sprinting at you your natural reaction is going to be to defend yourself. I don't like Duke either, but it's alarming how many people are blaming Filipowski.

I'm so sick of these court storms. So a little class, somebody is gonna get hurt and even might get hurt bad

maybe his fault but dam they mauled the kid. Like you I can't stand Duke either but come on - -the Schools better get a grip on this

News Break: Missouri men's basketball is now 0/14 in conference play. How you like the SEC now Mizzou?

Haven't seen a horns down yet

Johnny needs to find his shot more often. I like Juan's line: 6pts, 3/5, 4 assists, no TOs.

Hunt doesn't jump much

If I was 7 2 I wouldn't find the need to jump much

A little complacent with the big lead. Sometimes I'd just really like to see us win a game by 40

There is Juan missing his token layup again, can he dunk??

We'd like to decline the penalty and accept the layup result

Not abnormal to come out like this with how well we played in the first half. Just need to wake up and go a on a 12-0 run to know them out before they get it to single digits.

Turnovers for 2nd half dessert tonight.

5 turnovers in 4 minutes

@wissox We want people to share them and not have 1 for each person.

Hunter got fouled there too. Obviously shoved in the back

27 minutes into and we've only been whistled 3 times for fouls

Mari

Mari❤

Oh good grief the refs saw what I wrote.

Mari’s going to be a favorite before he’s done

KJ is 🎆🧨🎇✨

We want Jank!

Would have been nice for our slim conference championship hopes for Baylor to not have choked away a win today.

I swear they just talked about Duke at the half and talking about it again. Again, no Duke bias ESPN?

There's my horns down 🙌

This is a proper Texas sendoff.

Walk on time??

4 on Disu

@FarmerJayhawk said in SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS:

Walk on time??

Under 4 if we're still up by 20 I'm thinking

Scoring drought

Juan

Good D nick

Stamp the “Miles Garrett” reference on your Jay Bilas bingo card…..smh

His brother Marcus was even better.

That should be a flagrant 2, no play on the ball, Hunt about popped that clown back to the Stone Age. Chicken shit play

@tundrahok IDK, Miles was SO fast, we was practically invisible!!

Dirty ass play

I didn't get picked for the trial but I was there for 12 hours before they let me go.

Chant louder

dumb play but glad nobody got hurt or did something stupider

why are the starters in?

After Abmas’s BS Bill probably is all gas no brakes

Whoopie!

Maybe the most enjoyable game this season. If we do the same thing to K-State I won't be sad.

Have fun in the sec, Texas. Spent 10 years in Knoxville and it was junk ball and not the most savvy BB fans. So... texas should fit right in.

Good win. FU Texas

Guys need to be ready to go Tuesday.

My biggest complaint is keeping the starters out there the last 3 minutes. Otherwise a pretty solid outing

@KirkIsMyHinrich I just want to go undefeated at home and hopefully have a healthy Kevin for March.

That kind of balanced scoring by the five starters will win a LOT of games in march/april. +Kev

I can't wait to see UT's staff and administrators bitch and moan about all the "Horns Down" hand signs next season in all sports.

Stat of the game: Johnny Furphy had 16 points on only 3 FG attempts.

And alas, no viewing on Tuesday because of fricking ESPN+. Maybe we probably lose, but maybe not? I'd love to watch, but not gonna pony up because I've already given ESPN a bunch of money since 2000 as a subscriber.

This is what I was referring to:

Replying to @RockChalkBlog

Kansas has scored more points than Virginia today in 21 fewer minutes of game time @RockChalkBlog

Nice win. Guys played well with the week off and playing at home was a big factor in overcoming the lack of Kev

I was at the game today - surprised at how many Texas fans were there, probably because they wanted to experience Allen fieldhouse before their SEC exodus. Great to see bench players get so much time! When Timberlake hit that alley-oop slam, the place went absolutely bat-shite crazy, even the 70- 80 something fans were jumping for joy. Great overall energy today. God that place gets bowel-shakingly loud.

So, a question … what's the likelihood that Furph sticks around next year? The love for that kid in the arena today was total and overwhelming.

Seemed like a good game, wish I could have seen it, but was nice to read the comments, thanks all.

Fun with the boxscore:

KU shot 61.5%!

KU shot 27 FTs, Texas 10

KU had seven guys play 15+ minutes, with the max at 33 min.

And five guys in double figures! Nice.

Texas with 26 (26!) 3 pt attempts. KU with 8.

@Bosthawk

Going to be tough to hold onto Furphy the way he's getting talked about. Self has usually pushed kids to the draft that are going to be lottery type selections and its possible he could be land in that discussion.

He isn't able to earn NIL but he also isn't apparently in a rush to get to the league. Being from Australia he may have a different opinion of how he wants to get to the next step in his career. Perhaps we luck out there and get that 2nd year.

There may be a way for international student-athletes to earn some NIL, with passive engagements that don't require labor, and so don't violate their student visa. It's just a matter of getting creative. I'm sure KU Athletics has some pretty creative folks.
