Nobody cares?

Umm. Is that today? Im at a kids soccer game. Will care later :)

We look much better, more composed

I care!

I didn't get to watch the last game, so my first time to see the new guys in action.

Brett Ballard's team will always play tough D. We r playing right into those traps.

@tundrahok glad you are back!

@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks, trying to catch up.

8 made 3's so far. Nice to see Griffen out there.

Coit ain’t scared

Fun player

I've been watching. Kind of a meh first half. We all know this team is going to be built around Hunter on O, so I'm not sure objectively what we can really figure. Coit looks pretty good in this game, so I'm happy about that.

My buddy AT the game says it's hotter than hell in there so apparently the big Bazillion $ upgrade to AFH was for fancy lights and stuff.

It's still 78 degrees here in Larryville @ 8:00 late October, so this freaky weather... my home AC is on. LOL

8 made 3s is nice. But seems like we should make more 2s against a D2 school.

@tundrahok no Hunter!

@Crimsonorblue22 That's true. But you'd think we'd still get to the paint more against a D2 opponent.

No post presence w/o Hunt

@BShark More Bidunga! That's fun to say.

the Big B is looking good

Won't mind if Griffen is our 2nd dude. Kid can shoot

Is he pushing Zeke out of the starting lineup? Like is this real?

He looks like a stud so I’m all good with it. But this bench is so damn deep lol

Great start!

We need to know a nickname for Bidunga. My autocorrect is going with "Bidding" every time.

@tundrahok passmore/kease played good sat.

@DanR flory

@Crimsonorblue22 that works!

Diggy is impressive

dung with the good board

Flory!

Flobiddy is playing well

Rylan is a starter IMO

might take me a while to warm up to mayo

Mayo showing off

@BShark

No doubt

great. Passmore just tweaked something

@DanR said in Washburn:

great. Passmore just tweaked something

Still looks OK

Storr with a very nice assist there. Playing hard

@DanR said in Washburn:

@DanR said in Washburn:

Is he Ok?

@BeddieKU23 Looks fine to me.

Not a doctor

Passmore "dunks" like Paul Pierce too

Rylan has a great shot. Should be a great space maker for us

I didnt get to watch. What are the three biggest takeaways?

@approxinfinity depth, depth, depth

Rylen > Storr?

@approxinfinity tonight yes. But Storr did some nice things too

@approxinfinity 5 minutes left but getting into the dregs. Look pretty good. More unselfish than I expected for guys trying to show something. Flory with another solid game. Plus Coit.

Going to be hard to keep Diggy on the bench

Diggy could sub for KJ with hunter out there yep.

This team could be so incredibly fun. Last time Bill let a team shoot this freely was that FF team with DG/Svi/Vick/Newman/Doke

I like Coit. No fear.

Diggy is Flory, Right?

It is raining threes - sure fun to watch

let us hope these guys can hit em later in the season like in conference play

@FarmerJayhawk got a steal, great assist

WalkOnTime

I think Zach will be a good guy to put in and bang around when we need some muscle. The guys is built like an oak tree if you see him in person.

@DanR coit I think

@Crimsonorblue22 coit seems fearless. Love that kid already.

Nice win. Got everyone some run, stayed healthy. It counts Monday!

All right. Bring on the season. Should be interesting for a while. Expect a big finish this year.

Anybody know why there isn't a pre or post game anymore?

@Crimsonorblue22 I was looking too. Maybe because it's an exhibition?

Gonna be Capt obvious tonight - - - Coit has to see significant time on he floor. - -I think hey just might of found a little Gem , kid just ooozes Confidence

@approxinfinity said in Washburn:

I like Coit. No fear.

Has the right mentality for sure. He was getting open looks against Arkansas too, they just didn't go in. D1 proven guy though it was the MAC.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Washburn:

Nice win. Got everyone some run, stayed healthy. It counts Monday!

Need Monday here already. I will NOT be watching the Chiefs either.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Washburn:

Going to be hard to keep Diggy on the bench

I think very hard - -kid is a pistol kid can flat stroke got to see a lot of floor time

@FarmerJayhawk said in Washburn:

@approxinfinity depth, depth, depth

Mayo showed better tonight for one

After a totally lost sports year I'm so ready to watch a winning team. Hopefully this years version goes deep into the postseason. I'm starved for some success. Not entirely sold on this crew yet, but getting healthier will help. Tonight sounds like a typical exhibition match. Some good, some bad.

@tundrahok none in fb either. Could be because we aren't at home. Fb.

@Crimsonorblue22 We'll see Monday.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Washburn:

There is on radio, do you mean espn+?

@BShark Yes, Gueldner is a gem. Straight talk with just enough snark to be hilarious.

@tundrahok who's the other guy? Forgot

@Crimsonorblue22 Dave Stewart. Their rapport is good.

@tundrahok I like the gal that interviews the players.

@Kcmatt7 That team didn't exist according to the NCAA

@BShark not a Chiefs fan?

Well, looks like we can shoot!

I really have no clue who will start after Hunter, Dajuan and we all presume KJ. Maybe it will be a revolving door based on practice?

Storr has been the invisible man to me so far. He needs caffeine, motivation or something.

Glad to see the positive outcome.

@rockchalkjayhawk

I thought Storr played with effort the last 12 minutes or so. If that dunk attempt goes down that would have been a nice Hello moment to KU basketball. He made a great read on a Mayo drive where he could have shot the 3 instead gave it back to him in the corner for the better shot. There were more glimpses of buy-in last night I saw then in the Arkansas game at least.

In general, was pleased with the effort shown in the 2nd half even when the score was already well in hand. Coit, Mayo and Griffen all showed they are more than capable 3-point shooters and I can see lineups where floor spacing will work better than what we saw last year.

If Moore and Hunt play Monday it will be our first glimpse of the full team.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Washburn:

@BShark not a Chiefs fan?

Not when KU is on :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@BeddieKU23 Storr and Kease both tried to blow the roof off the place. Love to see it, none of our guards last year are attempting that.

First time I haven't watched, listened or checked the score multiple times of a KU basketball game since probably 1996. I figure we’d win by 30 or 40 and I’m so burnt out on KU athletics at the moment with how last weekend looked.

@kjayhawks I'm done with football again. Lance is a whiner and a scam artist. To turn in this season after playing the AD the last two offseasons. :face_with_rolling_eyes:

I didn't even know they played last night. Thought you guys were playing some fantasy game in your heads.

I couldn’t do that. The Chiefs are legit good and KU kinda looks like a pretender.

1/17 of a season vs a game against Howard. I wear a KU basketball T-shirt and hat everyday, but even I know what is more relevant big picture. 😝

Kansas is an over ranked, not yet congealed basketball team composed of a group of guys I hardly recognize due to modern recruiting turning KU into Kentucky lite. Hard to care about all the one year college players. If this is the ongoing trend for a few more seasons, college ball is going to lose me. I like watching freshmen turn into upperclassmen that have developed over their careers like DeJuan and KJ or even opponents that have been around and killing KU forever, but Storr, Coit, Mayo, Griffen, miss state guy and whomever I’m forgetting do nothing for me.

It’s like Remmy - probably don’t win without him, but he is completely forgettable; just a glory seeker - I think of Dave and Och and Harris and Wilson and all the long time players and as an after thought I occasionally remember Remmy who helped make it possible. But mostly I think about him hamming it up on the front of the national championship picture - me first type of guy.

I will learn to appreciate and care for some of the short term guys. It’s just not very palatable at the moment.

Understandable. The NFL is generally a very good product but I even like college football more than it typically for the chaos.

Howdy All!!

My main takeaway was:

I think Coach did a hell of a job during the off season in getting us real shooters AND scorers! Wasn't that fun compared to what we had last year? A reliable BUCKET getter! And he got us 3 guys that are blessed to be there and after hearing the post game remarks, just want to contribute, be it starter or off the bench. I see the competition in practice being intense to earn Coach's trust. Diggy has to be the coolest name we have had, and we have had some doozies!
See you Friday.

Sure looks like we got some shooters/scorers spacing on the floor gonna be a lot better, should open the inside for Hunte a lot better , Mayo looked more comfortable. Diddy is a big bonus , kid can fill it up , I worried about him being able to g his shot being 5'8 but he does a good job finding space - -lots like he has a quick release - -I think Bill found a hidden jewel, Just love his approach--- Solid- ---Griffen was fine we got like 4 pretty decent shooters for 3 pt

I think the two let downs for me and people should know from here how I try to defend Juan BUT to me he just looked terrible last night. TWICE that I know of he dribbled right into a trap back to back and turnovers really bad with the ball, not going to cut it-- -that's just one example, got to get a grip on it. - -Then 2nd? --- -ZACH , ZACH , ZACH-- -mercy I just don't see here there are many minutes all all for him. Just so out of control- -just doesn't fit. I at one time thought it's ok he will improve - -he hasn't improved, only minutes I can see is mop up minues with walk on at the end--- - he just doesn't have it

I

Yeah know it is just Washburn, but doesn't look like the offense is going to be an issue this year at least. I only caught a portion of the game but seemed like anytime we could get KJ driving, good things happened. Wouldn't be surprised if he averaged close to 5 assists this year

@BShark ya it’s more so on football than basketball at this point for sure. Too early to know much with this group, I’m worried about our lack of athleticism. Wonder if Case is the main guy that finds guys but we just don’t look athletic against big time schools, didn’t last year either.

@jayballer67 I’m glad somebody noticed the 6th year senior getting trapped by literal d2 players and turning it over looking like a freshman.

Hey @BShark the d2 statement was yet again proven true

RJ Davis is gonna hurt us next week and we are going to turn it over a ton just like against Arkansas. If the team has any athleticism or quickness at the guard spot we are fighting an uphill battle.

Our leaders for turnovers are the 5th year PF and 6th year PG against a literal D2 team.

Self’s roster construction is comical

Need AFH and the fans to save us next week

I've been told the Chiefs are bad by the talking heads, worst 7-0 team ever!

@BShark Yeah. Worse than that 11-0 Pittsburgh team or the 6-0 chiefs a few years back. Definitely worst than those teams. lol gotta love the hyperbole. The Chiefs aren’t winning the way the media wants, Spags is cookin’!

Yeah they are bored and it's easy/free engagement. In general, I've never felt more comfortable about Chiefs games. They simply know how to win.

@BShark I can’t wait to see a fully engaged Chiefs team.
