Central Florida 3. Not UCF.
Mar 13, 2025 12:12 AM #1

Never forget that this is a commuter directional (if central is a direction) school that Yormark decided was worthy of being in this once great conference. It cheapens the name Big 12 in my humble opinion. But whatever, we've got to play them and we've seen the best of KU in an absolute double them up beatdown in early January and then an embarrassing win a few weeks later when we only beat them by 4 at AFH.

Getting a taste of the the also ran feel everyone else has experienced ever since we've been in this expanded league. Not used to watching other teams awaiting the winner of our game, probably secretly hoping UCF pulls off the big upset. The last two times we won the Big12 tournament we went to the final four. But the other years were disappointing endings, seemingly losing to ISU in every one of them but I think last year Cincy blitzed us pretty bad when we were a mess. But we might as well gain some confidence and competency for the big tournament and win some games this week in what we used to call AFH East.

Go Hawks!

Mar 13, 2025 12:24 AM #3

Central Florida doesn't want to be called Central Florida, they think the public will forget they're directional if you call them UCF.

Mar 13, 2025 12:59 AM #4

Again my call, Good Guys -- 76-- - UCF---65

Mar 13, 2025 01:06 AM #5

Well let's win. A comfortable one where we can use depth would be even better. I'd like to see us turn it up

Mar 13, 2025 01:12 AM #6

Court guy is fired

Mar 13, 2025 01:13 AM #7

@wissox 70K students. Biggest school in the B12. Not really a regional school.

Mar 13, 2025 01:13 AM #8

Lets get Mayo going

Mar 13, 2025 01:14 AM #9

@DanR Wow, that's big!

Mar 13, 2025 01:14 AM #10

@BeddieKU23 Oh, yeah. Graphic design and art direction my entire career and that court should have never happened. Just horrible.

Mar 13, 2025 01:15 AM #11

Come on Rylen, how do you miss a layup like that?

Mar 13, 2025 01:15 AM #12

Yessir

Mar 13, 2025 01:17 AM #13

Mayo looking smooth ā€œawayā€ from home

Mar 13, 2025 01:19 AM #14

I mean that last basket by Johnson there is either an offensive foul or something

Mar 13, 2025 01:19 AM #15

Zeke and hunter have zero two man game

Mar 13, 2025 01:19 AM #16

@approxinfinity I told you

Mar 13, 2025 01:20 AM #17

@BeddieKU23 no! Rylan only gets one offensive foul call bis way.

Mar 13, 2025 01:22 AM #18

@BeddieKU23 Oh, yeah. Graphic design and art direction my entire career and that court should have never happened. Just horrible.

We chose the same careers, and I concur!

Mar 13, 2025 01:23 AM #19

DaJuan with a bad turnover

Mar 13, 2025 01:24 AM #20

Storr with his contractually required 2 points per game

Mar 13, 2025 01:25 AM #21

Did I just see Storr drive to the basket and make it?

Mar 13, 2025 01:25 AM #22

Storr looking for a new contract apparently

Mar 13, 2025 01:26 AM #23

Storr has been hypnotized by the floor

Mar 13, 2025 01:26 AM #24

@approxinfinity So have I

Mar 13, 2025 01:27 AM #25

Flory, clean up in aisle 7!

Mar 13, 2025 01:27 AM #26

Wow Hunter just pushed that guy in the back but no call.

Mar 13, 2025 01:28 AM #27

Storr looking for a new contract apparently

Even got an assist. Looks like showing up in the postseason was also on the current contract

Mar 13, 2025 01:28 AM #28

Well, if we lose I won’t have to look at that f@cking floor again. I can’t believe how much it bugs me. Honestly might have to switch to radio,

Mar 13, 2025 01:28 AM #29

It's a trip for sure. Tcu vibes but worse

Mar 13, 2025 01:29 AM #30

Its distracting enough that i feel adhd.

Mar 13, 2025 01:30 AM #31

If anyone knows Seinfeld I saw a tweet today about Mr. Pitts looking at a TV of this floor trying to see the magic eye thing.

Mar 13, 2025 01:33 AM #32

This game is kind of highlighting how bad our team is this year.

Mar 13, 2025 01:33 AM #33

Aj seems to be involved

Mar 13, 2025 01:35 AM #34

@DanR Not anymore

Mar 13, 2025 01:36 AM #35

3zekio!

Mar 13, 2025 01:36 AM #36

Man that was a frustrating 4 minutes there

Mar 13, 2025 01:36 AM #37

Hunter is useless

Mar 13, 2025 01:36 AM #38

Need hunter

Mar 13, 2025 01:36 AM #39

The big 12 court stops making sense in my brain at some point and turns into a morphing box / diamond plate looking brain drain.

Mar 13, 2025 01:37 AM #40

Haphazard line-ups tonight. Storr has given up multiple wide open threes.

Mar 13, 2025 01:38 AM #41

Do you get these BET365 ads with the putin clone?

Mar 13, 2025 01:38 AM #42

@BShark will be glad when the Storr experience is over

Mar 13, 2025 01:39 AM #43

Not sure if anyone saw my KU baseball comment but they hit 5 homers in a row today in the Vikings football dome and won 29-1. 15-2 now and have hit 37 homers which is pretty good.

Mar 13, 2025 01:40 AM #44

Hunter just got hammered but the ref probably can't see anything because of that court.

Mar 13, 2025 01:40 AM #45

What was that harris

Mar 13, 2025 01:42 AM #46

More like King Manure

Mar 13, 2025 01:42 AM #47

Inadvertent kick to the head

Mar 13, 2025 01:45 AM #48

Flory's outside shot needs a little work.

Mar 13, 2025 01:45 AM #49

But his cleanup is working for me

Mar 13, 2025 01:47 AM #50

I think the mental fatigue of this stupid ass floor is affecting everyone on it

Mar 13, 2025 01:47 AM #51

A lot of missed shots just refusing to put some distance. Not good

Mar 13, 2025 01:48 AM #52

If Hall hits the portal, yes

Mar 13, 2025 01:49 AM #53

Did Dickinson show up to the game tonight ?

Mar 13, 2025 01:49 AM #54

Hunt Rylan and Harris have 4 combined. They have to get going

Mar 13, 2025 01:49 AM #55

I wonder if there's been a game this year when Storr and Griffen both scored double figures?

Mar 13, 2025 01:50 AM #56

Hall is killing us

Mar 13, 2025 01:51 AM #57

@wissox griff has zero, so he’s probably not pulling his weight

Mar 13, 2025 01:52 AM #58

We don't have an option to guard hall

Mar 13, 2025 01:53 AM #59

Hunt with an easy layup attempt and leads to a 3. Can't make this up

Mar 13, 2025 01:53 AM #60

5 pt swing

Mar 13, 2025 01:53 AM #61

Back in the good days didn't Chalmers win this tournament twice with buzzer beaters? I'm probably wrong, but maybe not.

Mar 13, 2025 01:54 AM #62

Not Hunters night. We need better than 1 - 5

Mar 13, 2025 01:55 AM #63

I told you Storr could play.

Mar 13, 2025 01:55 AM #64

What? Storr? Again?

Mar 13, 2025 01:56 AM #65

Hunt getting hacked

Mar 13, 2025 01:57 AM #66

Hunter!

Mar 13, 2025 01:57 AM #67

I really don't care but I can't hear these announcers.

Mar 13, 2025 01:58 AM #68

Good grief

Mar 13, 2025 01:58 AM #69

Not hunts best half

Mar 13, 2025 01:58 AM #70

Kj a bit o butta fingas

Mar 13, 2025 01:58 AM #71

This is not the time for Dickinson to have one of his crap games

Mar 13, 2025 01:58 AM #72

I hate our lousy close outs. 5-1 again.

Mar 13, 2025 01:59 AM #73

Poor last 2 minutes of the half (again)

Mar 13, 2025 01:59 AM #74

@StLJhawk you don't throw that hard of a pass when your that close to the other player

Mar 13, 2025 01:59 AM #75

🤐🤐🤐

Mar 13, 2025 02:00 AM #76

@DanR you mean Hunter was there ? lol

Mar 13, 2025 02:00 AM #77

Ten seconds left and you know we’re not going to score. All year. No alpha dog

Mar 13, 2025 02:00 AM #78

Just once, it would be nice to be up by 7 with 2 minutes left and stretch it to 11, instead of letting the other team close to 3

Mar 13, 2025 02:01 AM #79

@webjay Those days are over

Mar 13, 2025 02:01 AM #80

@SlimShaddy54

Yep our AA with three points. Scary. Central Florida can score all game on you. Thank you AJ!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:03 AM #81

Flory and AJ 15 pts. Rylan and Hunt 3 points. Whodda thunk it?

Mar 13, 2025 02:06 AM #82

Should still win this by 15 if Hunter gets some shots to drop. Not to put all the blame on him for the first half... but he pretty much deserves it other than a few easy rebounds.

Mar 13, 2025 02:08 AM #83

@DanR If he is missing FG's then he is usually missing FT's. Don't know what it is or why but hate to waste our good scoring otherwise.

Mar 13, 2025 02:08 AM #84

@DanR they’ve really been shutting Hunt down under the basket. Would like to see some alpha dog from him like we did at home last game.

Mar 13, 2025 02:09 AM #85

@Zabudda ME!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:10 AM #86

@wissox I had forgot about that

Mar 13, 2025 02:12 AM #87

Just like the game as a whole things pretty even all the way across the board.- - KU 5 turnovers- - UCF- -4----- Both teams shooting right at 44 %-- KU out rebounding UCf by like six.- -Bottom line we got to get Dickinson going in this 2nd half and get Zeke engaged again-- - gonna be close all the way

Mar 13, 2025 02:13 AM #88

My beef is more with Hunter's D. Gave up 6-8 points on guys driving the baseline out of position as usual. On O, waiting too long to kick it out or getting a little too cute with his inside moves instead of just using his bread and butter stuff... IMO, but that stuff usually works, so no real complaints. I actually think he'll have a monster second half

Mar 13, 2025 02:14 AM #89

@DanR šŸ¤ž

Mar 13, 2025 02:14 AM #90

If we can pull this one out we get Zona in the late game tomorrow.

Mar 13, 2025 02:15 AM #91

While I'm complaining... is there a worse spot for KJ to attempt a shot besides right under the basket? The strong dude should be able to go up at an angle and make some space but he goes straight up and get snuffed 9 times out of 10.

Mar 13, 2025 02:15 AM #92

Wow Hunt can't buy a basket

Mar 13, 2025 02:15 AM #93

Omg

Mar 13, 2025 02:15 AM #94

@wissox he an afford it

Mar 13, 2025 02:17 AM #95

Alright Hunt

Mar 13, 2025 02:17 AM #96

Kj really? Missed both?

Mar 13, 2025 02:18 AM #97

Dajuan come on dude

Mar 13, 2025 02:18 AM #98

There we go good D and transition

Mar 13, 2025 02:18 AM #99

I just don't understand Harris and never will

Mar 13, 2025 02:18 AM #100

If there was ever a play for our lowlight film f0r the year that was it

Mar 13, 2025 02:19 AM #101

You guys are ahead of my feed Lol

We'll tell you when to change the channel!

Mar 13, 2025 02:19 AM #103

@SlimShaddy54
Difference in TO is that ours are careless passes in traffic, and theirs are usually a steal by us

Mar 13, 2025 02:20 AM #104

Hunt heating up

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #105

Good foul :hammer:

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #106

Another god awful pass

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #107

@approxinfinity yes!

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #108

Yeah entry pass into a triple team

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #109

Hunt got the halftime chat

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #110

No cajones on our guards on fast breaks

Mar 13, 2025 02:21 AM #111

THERE IS DICKINSON

Mar 13, 2025 02:22 AM #112

Careless TO, poor D, poor rebounding, and missed FT = loss

Mar 13, 2025 02:22 AM #113

Head scratcher

Mar 13, 2025 02:22 AM #114

Rylan you are only allowed two screw ups per possession.

Mar 13, 2025 02:22 AM #115

i think he already has seven in the 2nd half right ?

Mar 13, 2025 02:23 AM #116

It feels like we are trying to play with urgency but our guys arent thinking fast enough to do that efficiently

Mar 13, 2025 02:24 AM #117

@approxinfinity
Look panicked, no poise. Need to SLOOOOOW DOOOOOOWN

Mar 13, 2025 02:24 AM #118

They all want someone else to take the shot!

Mar 13, 2025 02:25 AM #120

The floor IDEA is ok. Just too much contrast in the execution and the gray sucks

Mar 13, 2025 02:26 AM #121

Leave hunt open from 3 again I dare ya

Mar 13, 2025 02:26 AM #122

Fools gold baby

Mar 13, 2025 02:27 AM #123

The sky hook assist from hunt!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:27 AM #124

Me likey

Mar 13, 2025 02:27 AM #125

This is like- -I like a lot

Mar 13, 2025 02:28 AM #126

That was a cool assist, I really dislike our defense tonight but happy to see the bench scoring

Mar 13, 2025 02:28 AM #127

@wissox seemed to add that a pass couple weeks ago. I like it!

Mar 13, 2025 02:28 AM #128

uncontested layups for UCF is fools gold when we trade 3s for 2s

Mar 13, 2025 02:28 AM #129

Nice that the 3’s are falling, but according to my teenager, our layup and FT defense are skibidee toilet sus monster

Mar 13, 2025 02:28 AM #130

@DanR Yes I'll take Fools Gold for 5o please Alex

Mar 13, 2025 02:29 AM #131

@webjay most teens aren't that smart!

Mar 13, 2025 02:29 AM #132

@SlimShaddy54 it’s a double edged sword you know. Gold and foolish.

Mar 13, 2025 02:29 AM #133

@webjay yeah exactly. Would be nice to have a defender within 5 feet when they shoot layups

Mar 13, 2025 02:30 AM #134

@webjay defense is optional tonight on both sides

Mar 13, 2025 02:30 AM #135

@wissox :grimacing_face:

Mar 13, 2025 02:30 AM #136

@webjay got a smart one there!

Mar 13, 2025 02:31 AM #137

A J Came to PLAY

Mar 13, 2025 02:31 AM #138

Stretch it to 20!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:31 AM #139

Storr worth every million

Mar 13, 2025 02:31 AM #140

Storr only needed 31 games to cook

Mar 13, 2025 02:31 AM #141

Storr looks great tonight

Mar 13, 2025 02:32 AM #142

More In Storr

Mar 13, 2025 02:32 AM #143

Pretty pretty shot

Mar 13, 2025 02:32 AM #144

He watched Newman tape

Mar 13, 2025 02:32 AM #145

Gonna kill KJ

Mar 13, 2025 02:33 AM #146

Nice effort KJ, make the FTs now

Mar 13, 2025 02:33 AM #147

Best version of Storr + confident Mayo + clean up TO+ guard layups + make FT = national champs

Mar 13, 2025 02:34 AM #148

I appreciate the oop attempt. Worth it

Mar 13, 2025 02:34 AM #149

@webjay lets just try to win this one first :)

Mar 13, 2025 02:34 AM #150

Storr is HOT!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:35 AM #151

Rainin 3s

Mar 13, 2025 02:35 AM #152

The AJ Storr we thought was getting showed up tonight.

Mar 13, 2025 02:35 AM #153

I just don't get it

Mar 13, 2025 02:35 AM #154

Wish KJ could make anything

Mar 13, 2025 02:36 AM #155

Storr was at his best in the BIG tournament last year. Maybe conference tournaments are his thing.

Mar 13, 2025 02:36 AM #156

Dam we just can't catch a break. - -Dam let's not waste AJ's game tonight

Mar 13, 2025 02:37 AM #157

Pedal to the metal guys. Letting up after a basket is killing us

Mar 13, 2025 02:37 AM #158

@StLJhawk was kinda hoping he’d just shoot that 3 when he was open lol. Missed FTs and bunnies may as well try one. Does anyone know, has he attempted a 3 in his career?

Mar 13, 2025 02:40 AM #159

Nice high school game 2 minutes there

Mar 13, 2025 02:41 AM #160

Might want to guard that guy

Mar 13, 2025 02:42 AM #161

Shit

Mar 13, 2025 02:42 AM #162

Yeah

Mar 13, 2025 02:42 AM #163

5-6 3s in a row?

Mar 13, 2025 02:42 AM #164

All wide open with no effort

Mar 13, 2025 02:42 AM #165

Think we should go to 4 guards here and stop switching. Won’t happen but still

Mar 13, 2025 02:42 AM #166

This is their run. Relax and load the wagon

Mar 13, 2025 02:43 AM #167

Guard the damn ball

Mar 13, 2025 02:44 AM #168

Stop dribbling kj

Mar 13, 2025 02:44 AM #169

Typical choke job

Mar 13, 2025 02:44 AM #170

This is why we're sitting at 11 losses.

Mar 13, 2025 02:45 AM #171

This is where we need a calming influence from the PG. not panicked drives and dumps to guarded bigs

Mar 13, 2025 02:45 AM #172

Short pass attempts in traffic are KILLING us. Live ball turnovers. Self should make a rule of no passes in the lane

Mar 13, 2025 02:45 AM #173

Lots of time, people

Mar 13, 2025 02:45 AM #174

Weren’t we just up by 10 a bit ago?

Mar 13, 2025 02:45 AM #175

That's a perfect D

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #176

Bullshittest bullshit imaginable

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #177

oh my God, Harris...

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #178

Come on Dajuan.

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #179

Juan's made the stupidest plays tonight.

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #180

Well fountain head missed one at least

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #181

Another awesome pass

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #182

Unraveling

Mar 13, 2025 02:46 AM #183

lol

Mar 13, 2025 02:47 AM #184

@DanR i was thinking lion fish

Mar 13, 2025 02:47 AM #185

Looking like a typical KU collapse

Mar 13, 2025 02:47 AM #186

It would have been better to shoot the ball Juan than whatever that was.

Mar 13, 2025 02:48 AM #187

A worse pass by cfu, directionless school in Orlando hell

Mar 13, 2025 02:48 AM #188

right at four minutes and UCF hits us with a 17-3 KO

Mar 13, 2025 02:49 AM #189

We can still win but Juan needs to extract head from ass

Mar 13, 2025 02:49 AM #190

Luckily (?), we likely only have to endure one more game like this……

Mar 13, 2025 02:49 AM #191

It quite a KO, but they’ve definitely landed some punches

Mar 13, 2025 02:50 AM #192

Ain’t worried yet, basketball is a game of runs, let’s start ours

Mar 13, 2025 02:50 AM #193

Mar 13, 2025 02:51 AM #194

Griff finally did something and got erased

Mar 13, 2025 02:52 AM #195

Flagrant

Mar 13, 2025 02:52 AM #196

4 on him?

Wow, usually you're the one that says 'oh losing by three...game over'!! Where's this newfound faith coming from!

Mar 13, 2025 02:52 AM #198

Easy call

Mar 13, 2025 02:52 AM #199

Switch a big, wide open 3, rinse and repeat

Mar 13, 2025 02:53 AM #200

I think he hit him in the head twice

Mar 13, 2025 02:53 AM #201

Need to capitalize on this

Mar 13, 2025 02:53 AM #202

Go zeke

Mar 13, 2025 02:54 AM #203

Yes!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:54 AM #204

soft touchy

Mar 13, 2025 02:54 AM #205

Huh, we got the lead back

KJ is on fireeee

Mar 13, 2025 02:55 AM #207

Run Forest run!

Mar 13, 2025 02:55 AM #208

C’MOOOOOOOOOONNNN!!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:55 AM #209

Clear goal tend

Mar 13, 2025 02:55 AM #210

Yesss

Mar 13, 2025 02:55 AM #211

KJ !!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:55 AM #212

take that b!!!tch

Mar 13, 2025 02:56 AM #213

Happy days are here again.

Mar 13, 2025 02:56 AM #214

Defense!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:56 AM #215

wow KJ POG

Mar 13, 2025 02:56 AM #216

Mayo got robbed too .., goal tending

Mar 13, 2025 02:57 AM #217

leave him alone, i dare you!

Mar 13, 2025 02:57 AM #218

Zeke!!

Mar 13, 2025 02:57 AM #219

Zeke the freak!

Mar 13, 2025 02:58 AM #220

When zeke takes that shot you know it’s money

Mar 13, 2025 02:58 AM #221

Ticky tacky fouls ref

Mar 13, 2025 02:59 AM #222

Storr shoved to the ground on the way to defend the line.

Mar 13, 2025 02:59 AM #223

how is that not a foul?

Mar 13, 2025 03:00 AM #224

Ref sucks

Mar 13, 2025 03:00 AM #225

We are super good at turning comfortable 20 point wins into squeakers, 10 point wins into 10 point losses, and squeakers into 20 point losses

Mar 13, 2025 03:00 AM #226

Whatever

Mar 13, 2025 03:00 AM #227

No autopsy no foul on Hunt but 3 tick tacks in a row on that end

Mar 13, 2025 03:01 AM #228

Wish DJ wasn’t having another off night

Mar 13, 2025 03:01 AM #229

Were just fricken snake bitten, horrible night for Juan

Mar 13, 2025 03:01 AM #230

Hunter is sandwiched on his shot, but UCF gets the phantom foul on the other end.

Mar 13, 2025 03:01 AM #231

Some suspect calls and lack of calls

Mar 13, 2025 03:02 AM #232

we need to amp up on D, seriously, the 3s are piling up

Mar 13, 2025 03:02 AM #233

@DanR was thinking that too

Mar 13, 2025 03:03 AM #234

@jay4ever exactly

Mar 13, 2025 03:03 AM #235

15-2 run was a killer now we have to be good.

Mar 13, 2025 03:04 AM #236

Would be great if these guys would execute something down the stretch. Vintage Bill Self slows the tempo and calls plays down the stretch and we just out-execute the other team.

Mar 13, 2025 03:04 AM #237

Just need to win the last 3 minutes. Let’s Go!

Mar 13, 2025 03:05 AM #238

I thought it was no blood no foul, which implies that KJ got fouled.

Mar 13, 2025 03:05 AM #239

@Kcmatt7 dont think this team is capable of that, sadly

Mar 13, 2025 03:05 AM #240

Bleeding from getting hacked all night

Mar 13, 2025 03:06 AM #241

Zeke!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:06 AM #242

Damn nice d KJ

Mar 13, 2025 03:06 AM #243

Keep fouling him please

Mar 13, 2025 03:07 AM #244

the best defense by KJ so far, in the whole season!

Mar 13, 2025 03:07 AM #245

Wow, we got a TJ v2.0

Mar 13, 2025 03:07 AM #246

Solid effort Zman

Mar 13, 2025 03:07 AM #247

Zeke gets fouled so far from the basket it’s mind blowing

Mar 13, 2025 03:08 AM #248

WTF another bS foul?

Mar 13, 2025 03:08 AM #249

Bullcrap call

Mar 13, 2025 03:08 AM #250

Lotta ball on that

Mar 13, 2025 03:09 AM #251

mismatch for the whole 10sec..

Mar 13, 2025 03:09 AM #252

That dude has whined on a lot of calls

Mar 13, 2025 03:09 AM #253

Wtf are we doing here. Some of these entry passes…

Mar 13, 2025 03:09 AM #254

Good

Mar 13, 2025 03:09 AM #255

Johnson is a big whiner

Mar 13, 2025 03:09 AM #256

BY MFer

Mar 13, 2025 03:10 AM #257

STFU

Mar 13, 2025 03:10 AM #258

Should’ve fouled out long ago

Mar 13, 2025 03:10 AM #259

This announcer dude thinks he's Fran.

Mar 13, 2025 03:10 AM #260

lol

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #261

Look at him hacking kj for 39 seconds before that

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #262

Kj saving us right now

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #263

Darrrrrrius… he wont be soothed

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #264

Hitting these FT’s are HUGE!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #265

travel plus a throw-away, thank you!

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #266

Finish

Mar 13, 2025 03:11 AM #267

Nice!

Mar 13, 2025 03:12 AM #268

What does KJ abbreviate? Probably should know that

Mar 13, 2025 03:12 AM #269

Wow what a shot.

Mar 13, 2025 03:12 AM #270

Crazy to see Storr in here late after how the regular season went

Mar 13, 2025 03:12 AM #271

Turnover incoming

Mar 13, 2025 03:12 AM #272

speechfless..

Mar 13, 2025 03:12 AM #273

KJ so good, then so bad

Mar 13, 2025 03:13 AM #274

Bad shot

Mar 13, 2025 03:13 AM #275

Why take the time out

Mar 13, 2025 03:13 AM #276

Gosh KJs shot did everyone but drop

Mar 13, 2025 03:13 AM #277

@StLJhawk
New self rule: no KJ floaters, ever. Take it to the rim!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:13 AM #278

Zeke is the answer!

Mar 13, 2025 03:13 AM #279

KJ needs just another step.. that last shot was outside his normal range!

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #280

LOL

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #281

Hall of fame coach time, right?

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #282

OMG

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #283

Ha!

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #284

Like clockwork a turnover

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #285

F ugly floor.. that's why!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:14 AM #286

Haha

Mar 13, 2025 03:15 AM #287

Why would you run a KJ iso?

Mar 13, 2025 03:15 AM #288

It's happened every single time this yr after a timeout in this situation. Every one of them

Mar 13, 2025 03:15 AM #289

C’mon OT

Mar 13, 2025 03:15 AM #290

We're gonna do something stupid to prevent us from getting blown out by Arizona tomorrow night.

Mar 13, 2025 03:15 AM #291

@kjayhawks said in Central Florida 3. Not UCF.:

Why would you run a KJ iso?
Yes exactly that

Mar 13, 2025 03:15 AM #292

No fouls, please!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:16 AM #293

Phew!

Mar 13, 2025 03:16 AM #294

Whew

Mar 13, 2025 03:16 AM #295

5 more minutes of this floor. Arrrrghhhhhh

Mar 13, 2025 03:16 AM #296

Pure luck

Mar 13, 2025 03:16 AM #297

Guess we will win in OT

Mar 13, 2025 03:17 AM #298

So here’s where we see if we can actually close out a game

Mar 13, 2025 03:18 AM #299

I know it's not nice to say but an error in the end was a killer again.

Mar 13, 2025 03:18 AM #300

@kjayhawks was thinking the same.. vs 13-losses team, we'll win no matter what!

Mar 13, 2025 03:18 AM #301

If we pull this out, bet the house on AZ -20 tomorrow

Mar 13, 2025 03:18 AM #302

His go ā€œto’sā€ are kj or d2 Juan that result in ā€œTO’sā€

Mar 13, 2025 03:19 AM #304

Another sweet pass

Mar 13, 2025 03:19 AM #305

Hunting's game

Mar 13, 2025 03:20 AM #306

Lets go Hunter, making shots

!alt text ↗

Mar 13, 2025 03:20 AM #307

Hunt!

Mar 13, 2025 03:20 AM #308

Dang Hunt has a nice 3 stroke

Mar 13, 2025 03:20 AM #309

My dog went to bed. Hopefully that’s a good sign.

Mar 13, 2025 03:20 AM #310

good.. let Hall STFD, too

Mar 13, 2025 03:21 AM #311

Hey we finally have a guy that hasn’t hit 3s all year hitting them

Probably tired of looking at that floor.

UCF are a 10 ten whiny ass bunch

Mar 13, 2025 03:21 AM #314

@kjayhawks Storr hitting too!

Mar 13, 2025 03:22 AM #315

Deeeeeee boooooo

Mar 13, 2025 03:22 AM #316

Smooth

Mar 13, 2025 03:23 AM #317

Is our 5th best FT shooter 73%? Seems good

Mar 13, 2025 03:23 AM #318

Redemption time Juan.

Mar 13, 2025 03:23 AM #319

So will DJ answer?

Mar 13, 2025 03:23 AM #320

@Zabudda
They have had to endure 82 minutes of that floor in 2 days!

Mar 13, 2025 03:24 AM #321

He does!

Mar 13, 2025 03:24 AM #322

Awful call

Mar 13, 2025 03:24 AM #323

OK, Diggy, your time to shine.

Mar 13, 2025 03:24 AM #324

that's all ball..

Mar 13, 2025 03:24 AM #325

Diggy's time to shineeee

Mar 13, 2025 03:24 AM #326

Juando jobbed for the third time

Mar 13, 2025 03:25 AM #327

The last two fouls on Juan were absolute bullshit

Mar 13, 2025 03:25 AM #328

Miracle miss

Mar 13, 2025 03:26 AM #329

Bad foul AJ

Mar 13, 2025 03:26 AM #330

Dumb

Mar 13, 2025 03:26 AM #331

Lazy stupid foul

Mar 13, 2025 03:26 AM #332

stupid foul.. poke or scoop, AJ

Mar 13, 2025 03:27 AM #333

HD saves the day

Mar 13, 2025 03:27 AM #334

I feel bad for all the dozens of Montana northern Colorado fans who have to watch tjis

Mar 13, 2025 03:27 AM #335

hahaha...

Mar 13, 2025 03:27 AM #336

air freakin ball..

Mar 13, 2025 03:28 AM #337

Don't need a 3

Mar 13, 2025 03:28 AM #338

Airiest of all the balls

Mar 13, 2025 03:28 AM #339

lol... we got this, gents & lads

Mar 13, 2025 03:28 AM #340

Nice AJ.

Mar 13, 2025 03:28 AM #341

Alright AJ. I appreciate the effort. Heart is there

Mar 13, 2025 03:28 AM #342

Storr!!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:29 AM #343

They are running out of gas hope we don’t do the same tomorrow

Mar 13, 2025 03:29 AM #344

We're not too bright. Diggy could've been called for a foul there running into him when they were calling timeout.

Mar 13, 2025 03:29 AM #345

This has been a really entertaining game, wish it wasn’t but fun to watch

Mar 13, 2025 03:29 AM #346

Plenty of time to blow it though. Amiright?

Mar 13, 2025 03:29 AM #347

@wissox just enough bright hopefully

Mar 13, 2025 03:30 AM #348

UCF clearly a better offensive team but free throws can save us

Mar 13, 2025 03:30 AM #349

@DanR negative Dan?

Mar 13, 2025 03:30 AM #350

@jay4ever fingers crossed

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #351

need Diggy's balls to grow quick

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #352

Jesus, awful passes

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #353

2nd best defensive play by KJ

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #354

Stupid is as stupid does

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #355

that's EFFFFFORT

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #356

Now we're gonna have to make FTs...

Mar 13, 2025 03:31 AM #357

They played down to our level!! Lol

Mar 13, 2025 03:32 AM #358

KU ball.

Mar 13, 2025 03:32 AM #359

Dont give that dukey a free timeout you losers

Mar 13, 2025 03:32 AM #360

Pretty easy call

Mar 13, 2025 03:32 AM #361

Kj playing is ass off just wished he hit that free throw jumper late to end it in regulation

Mar 13, 2025 03:33 AM #362

Added .2 seconds. Worth it!

Mar 13, 2025 03:33 AM #363

@DanR said in Central Florida 3. Not UCF.:

Pretty easy call

Was zero reason to review that

Mar 13, 2025 03:33 AM #364

I’d foul

Mar 13, 2025 03:33 AM #365

Come on AJ

Mar 13, 2025 03:33 AM #366

2 made FTs, securing a dub

Mar 13, 2025 03:34 AM #367

Click! Yes AJ

Mar 13, 2025 03:34 AM #368

that's another BS call

Mar 13, 2025 03:34 AM #369

@jay4ever Securing a Dub? Do you remember the Houston game?

Mar 13, 2025 03:34 AM #370

Bullshit

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #371

Oh jeez

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #372

@wissox oh, shiiii.. party pooper..

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #373

Wow, that was on AJ, looks legit too.

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #374

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #375

Closing out is not our strong suit

don't jinx it pls

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #377

Silly foul by AJ but missed a clear push off on the drive

Mar 13, 2025 03:35 AM #378

Sawft foul.

Mar 13, 2025 03:39 AM #388

.9????

Mar 13, 2025 03:39 AM #389

This is the game that never ends just goes on and on my friend

Mar 13, 2025 03:39 AM #390

I’m torn between being more optimistic because Mayo and Storr played well, and less optimistic because a team who kind of sucks just took us to OT at basically a home game.

Mar 13, 2025 03:40 AM #391

Hey I'll stay up and live chat the Montana Northern Colorado game with ya'll if you want!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:41 AM #392

@Kcmatt7 we beat this team 99-48 in january. I would lean towards the latter.

Mar 13, 2025 03:41 AM #393

We haven’t won yet lol

Mar 13, 2025 03:42 AM #394

@wissox AJ and Rylan both had 10+ when we shellacked this team in january

Mar 13, 2025 03:42 AM #395

Sigh. You’re probably right.

Nice 2nd FT shot.

Mar 13, 2025 03:43 AM #397

@approxinfinity Crack research team of the bucket!!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:43 AM #398

Hoped we’d see some intensity. Good game by Storr. Same old team. We’ll see how it goes. Rock chalk!

Mar 13, 2025 03:43 AM #399

Diggy said fu i'm going home!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:44 AM #400

Almost hit 100

Mar 13, 2025 03:44 AM #401

@Zabudda PHOF!!!

Mar 13, 2025 03:44 AM #402

Whew, what a battle, but good guys get to play again

@wissox I got one of those several years ago.

Mar 13, 2025 03:45 AM #405

We don’t know how many more games this team will win so I’ll definitely take this one!!! Fun game to to watch, hopefully we remember to play defense tomorrow lol

Mar 13, 2025 03:46 AM #406

Finally got to this Montana / N Colorado game almost at halftime the world has been waiting for

Mar 13, 2025 03:46 AM #407

Afraid no gas left in the tank for tomorrow

Mar 13, 2025 03:51 AM #408

Juando and Rylan have to play better tomorrow. Juan didn’t have a terrible floor game but his 4 turnovers were pretty ugly and came at bad times. He also missed 2 3s without another player within 10 feet of him. Rylan missed layups and wide open 3s.

Mar 13, 2025 03:59 AM #409

His throws came at a good time though

Mar 13, 2025 04:01 AM #410

1 point dogs tomorrow

Mar 13, 2025 04:04 AM #411

@webjay 3.5pt favorite at Allen and 1pt dog on neutral court. Interesting

Mar 13, 2025 04:12 AM #412

Ugly win, but nice to see AJ have a good game. He's the one guy on this roster being a difference maker that hasn't really been one this season. With his performance tonight, I would reinforce it by starting him over Griffen tomorrow.

Mar 13, 2025 04:37 AM #413

@BShark said in Central Florida 3. Not UCF.:

Haphazard line-ups tonight. Storr has given up multiple wide open threes.

In defense of Storr, giving up wide open 3s is kinda our thing. Blame all around many times over.

I was very excited about Storr’s play tonight. I know going in not to expect much on D. That changes your perspective for the better. If he makes a play, great. Kinda like not having high hopes of KJ making any guarded shot near or under the basket. If he does, I’m elated (lobs not included).

But this team, Jesus! It’s like digging a grave with a spoon. They make things soooo much harder than they need to with brain dead play! Even the announcers were like, wtf are these guys doing??? Value the ball. Slow down. Keep possession.

But a win’s a win. We need em. On to Arizona.

Mar 13, 2025 05:22 AM #414

Fun with the box score!

Nothing real shocking tonight. Lots of similarity though. Stats nearly identical.

Turnovers

KU — 16

UCF — 14

Basic shooting stats

KU took eight more shots, both otherwise both teams about the same with percentages:

FG

45% ish

3PT

44% ish

FT

75-78%

Bench points

This was a big one for KU!

30-13

Mar 13, 2025 05:33 AM #415

A win against Zona would be three in a row which we last achieved Jan 5th thru 11th UCF, ASU, Cincy. Long drought. We are a 6th seed before this win and the move from a 7th seed to a 6th seed made for a much better draw. I guess we could get a 5 seed if we wanted to which is even better, The lack of being able to win three in a row is a tribute to the toughness of the Big12 and our own fault. We can look damned good but never quite in control of our total game. Thank you for the 19 points AJ and for restoring our faith in you and this is on the heels of the real Zeke becoming really Zeky again. Some poster in tonights thread said he wished we could go from 7 points up to like 11 points up in the last couple of minutes of the half. No I agree but we don't do that.

@webjay The same team KU just beat 2 games ago? Maybe, but I have a little faith that KU will show up and win.

I have much more faith in KU basketball even in this terrible down year to win a game of significance than the football team will ever win an important game. In this terrible no good basketball season KU has still managed to beat the #1 team in the nation. That would never happen for the football team. So there is hope. Likely false hope, but it’s more than I’ve ever held for the football team.

The bball team is not up to the standard this year. Goes to show how spoiled we are in basketball and how crappy the football program has been for nearly a century (in both sports) for expectations to be what they are. Hopefully the football team will continue gaining momentum - not likely a long term deal given history so better enjoy it now while there is still hope. And hopefully the basketball team will get back to earning 1 seeds and disappointing in the tournament due to it’s unpredictable nature.

@dylans If we play to our ability, I think we can play with anyone in the country. Maybe not win but push them to the limits. Football is so much different in terms of parity. I think we can play with any team in the conference on any given Saturday but we would get the brakes beat off of us by a Ohio state or Georgia

@DanR How did the Montana game turn out lol

Totally got my hopes up last night thinking we'd play well enough to win fairly comfortable but that's just not reality. It's unfeasible at this point to believe this group will change in any meaningful way. They are who they are.

Today's another day to learn from yesterday. They closed out and won an OT game, there's my optimism. Consistency will have to improve today to win against a team we just beat 6 days ago but in Allen. Going to need big games from Hunt Mayo and whoever else shows up again tonight. Will they have any legs left in the tank in the 2nd half.. we shall see. 4 starters played 36+ minutes last night.

Playing AZ in the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse is likely very different from playing them anywhere else. We’ve watched our team several times this year going into the last minute with a decent lead, then give the game away with bonehead plays. I had that same sick feeling last night, but we luckily held on.

I think if DJ and KJ minimize bonehead plays, Zeke stays Zekey, Hunt mans up under the basket all night, AJ (or Rylan) shows up again, and one or two others contribute off the bench, we beat AZ. That’s a lot of ifs. But hey, it’s March and stranger things have been known to happen right? Rock chalk you oldest team in country, go get em!

@Texas-Hawk-10 its a toss up for me starting Rylan or AJ. Would be nice not to tweak things to have them settle. Maybe Rylan produces with the show of faith with another start

@approxinfinity I don't care about feelings at this point. Rylan has been bad the last few games and AJ played pretty well last night. Start him and see if it carries over. If not, go back to Rylan because even if he does nothing, that's what he's been doing recently anyway.

Rylan is 22/75 from the field (29%) since February started. He hasn't played like a starter in almost 2 months outside a play or 2 a game. Don't get it with him

@BeddieKU23 said in Central Florida 3. Not UCF.:

Even though I’ve stated earlier I’d like to see AJ start, I’m not sure I’d want to switch Rylan and AJ at this point, but it’s difficult to watch Rylan put the ball on the court in his spastic way.

If we can get him an open shot, that would help.

Now if AJ has back to back good games…I say presto chango Remy March Madness time.

@rockchalkjayhawk i just dont know if you change anything re AJ. Praise the hell out of him and tell him if he plays like that he will get 27 min again

Mar 13, 2025 11:55 PM #430

Whomever starts isn’t a big deal it’s who is playing the most minutes

I seriously feel we have three legit teams that could make a serious run to the Championship.-- --Houston , - Texas Tech and then BYU. yes BYU. I think they are a threat. they play loose, they play fast-- love to run and thing is they let it fly and it's not just one or two guys & they have shot a prety good % on the year. Call me crazy it's ok But I think they could surprise some people. Really good Coach , plays good defense ya
