Happy Saturday afternoon fellow hawks. Here's to being happier in a couple of hours.
Why is JamTray starting over Cliff?
Not a good way to start on the road
Already not happier than I was 3 minutes ago.
WTF is Ellis going to do against Ridley on D?
Idk
Why do we have such trouble grabbing/securing the ball this season?? Small hands? Weak? I dont get it
Like to see BG cut lose from the 3.
@Crimsonorblue22 Step up to the kb. Don't be bashful.
Hey guys come over to Jesse's!
We're hanging in there.
High post is there all day. Gotta work the ball thru there
@Crimsonorblue22 We take this one, and I don't care how, it'll be Crown 75th after.
And girls
Short corner. High post. Dish for three or bucket cut. Simplify the game
What's up w/BG's black eye?
Thats the way!!
Good ball movement
@Crimsonorblue22 Didn't notice. Practice elbow?
BGGGGGGGGGGG
Feed the hit hand
Hot
Good group!!!
SWEET
Ut getting tired. Push the pace now coach
@Crimsonorblue22 Well thank you. I try to run a fun group. :smile:
On the court, dork!
@Crimsonorblue22 Be nice. lol Refs must have early flights. Seemed to have swallowed whistles.
Great hustle
Hustle by who?
JayHawkFanToo has entered the chat...
Very poor start but playing better now. BG could be huge...
Traylor
@cragarhawk thx!
@Crimsonorblue22
Sure thing
2 fts for oubre. Nice
@Crimsonorblue22 Watched Pelicans/Lakers the other night but guess Tarik's sprain kept him on the bench.
Im telling ya. Texas getting gassed here. Push push push
Nice win for KSU over OSU...Kitties have spunk.
@Crimsonorblue22 Wigs still getting his 20+?
@JayHawkFanToo I wasn't sure who to root for???
@JayHawkFanToo
Saw that. May be a tougher series with them than it looked early on
Don't we need to get the ball in the middle more?
@cragarhawk I'm not sharing w/them!! I'm going to ksu and stay up there for ISU.
@Crimsonorblue22
Nice!
Mason all day
That sucked
Poise here
Holy cow!!!
Whooop whooop
...and one...
HUSTLE and HARD WORK.
Well done!!!!
I thought Mari and that kid were going to bust heads-blood
Texas getting impatient..
This effort would've beat ISU
Taylor is hurting us
Walk!
Guess nit
Not, forgive my typos, I and o go both ways!
@Crimsonorblue22 i and o hard for you? lol
Dang. Up by 5 with the ball. Now Tx going to line to cut to 2.
I really want a halftime lead.
hey everyone...we're going to win today...
e, i, e, i ohhhhh...:)
We must have this w
You won't be worth a darn tonight! How could global go to a movie? Shhh don't tell him!
@Crimsonorblue22 And I'll even have a second one for you for this win.
i wish we'd set some screens for brannen, and let him shoot 25 shots from the perimeter today...
@Crimsonorblue22 He was on earlier. he went to a movie?
Oubre needs to get hot
A sniper
this is the only sell-out crowd UT gets the whole season. their fans were waiting for a world class team to come to town before they came out to watch...
Good d Mari!
There u go cliff
CLIFFIE
Looks like turner fouled
Foul count? Oubre 2?
Sweet
@Crimsonorblue22 yes
BOOM!!!!!!! THE BIG RED DOG...
Thought it was Big Angry Dog. I like that better
Travel?
That's y Cliff doesn't start
Wish Mason would have worked it in
Nice. Up 2 at half on the road. I'll take it. Be back for the 2nd.
@Crimsonorblue22 you have to be excited about the first half, though. I hope Greene starts the 2nd half...
rough start but playing much better now. Need to start second half strong and get some separation; tough to win close games on the road.
Kansas stats: 43% 33% 100%
Texas stats: 37% 20% 66%
Appreciate the hustle...most I've seen from this team in a while. Stamina & depth the key down the stretch.
"Let's play two"
How about that block by Traylor. Go back to the wild sequence if you can, which was around the 5 minute mark and watch it again. Unbelievable.
Bigs tire quicker so we have the edge. Their bigs are already showing signs of being winded.
Shot fake guys
Mari!
On Mason!
soft rim
Quit fouling!
that is another on Selden
Oh Mari!
Time for Alexander and Greene
KU 9 fouls, Texas 4 fouls hmmm.
How do we stop Taylor?
Taylor 15 point is single handedly keeping Texas in the game
Notice turner runs like erkel?
Need Greene shooting...
@JayHawkFanToo Agree. I bet you'll see him in after the TO
Sub par d here. Pick it up jayhawks
Whose man.?
Guy on bench pissed me off!
@Crimsonorblue22 That funny.....I felt the same way. Looked like a dork.
Nice cut to basket
Selden
A break? Give me one buddie
Brooks you in to the crown?
Oh BG!!
Throw it off Perry's foot then make a 3!
No kidding. Lol
I'm talking to myself!!
@Crimsonorblue22 I'm her . :)
Here!!
Bouncing back & forth between here & KU Sports. Better crowd here.
@cragarhawk we r talking to each other! Brooks is hitting the bottle! Jk
Haha
@nwhawkfan I do that too. Same name there?
BG rebounding too😳
Crap
Ooops, Greene's knee...
Don't post there anymore, just observe.
Oubre gotta shoot that
Awesome!
We need separation...
Nice steal Graham!
Yeah!!!
Yes, separation...
And 1 on that
Fouls?
KO!
Lot of body contact there
Good "D" turns into "O". That's what we need!
Here comes bg
Sweet!
Sweet feed
My man Mari!
Over the backk
Finish the dunk
Outside in, HEM having a conniption...
@JayHawkFanToo like I care!
Hard to imagine I can have so much fun sitting here by myself!!!
Cliff has to finish that dunk.
We are not getting the over the back calls...ISU all over again?
Turner over, what happened to Mari? Refs can't keep up!
@JayHawkFanToo That has been going on all game. I'm frustrated. It's been the difference in this game.
Brooks did you fall and can't get up?
BG!!!!
Yes!!!
SEPARATION!!!
Nice! Way to run, nobody can keep up w/Cliff! Not erkel
Big d now
@JayHawkFanToo more
Great defensive stand!!!!
Ahhhhhh. Finish big man!!!
Great D...Should have been two and one
Crazy!! BG scared? Texas was out before we got the steal
Geez that made me dizzy
ELLISSSSS
Yeah!!!
Stomp them!! Go clock!
SEPARATION!!!
Defense now . Lock down for 4 minutes
Fun!!!
Need to play smart...
10 pt lead. Awesome. Right....need to play tough D and take care of the ball
Graaaadually pulling away. Texas has one more run in 'em. Hold them off, and we got this.
Look for a screen to get Taylor loose here
Can't wait to hear from bucket friends at the game!
ELLISSSSS
That's what self meant about the blocks!
Great effort toda . Tough to be upset either way . But man we need to finish this thing
I'm worried about brooks!
@cragarhawk well I'll be upset!!
I think with the next foul KU is on the bonus...
Perhaps brooks is just enjoying the game in silent awe. With crown of course
Beautiful
Wish the announcers would tell us the fouls!
If not for Taylor this game is not even close...
Those slightly deflated basketballs hang on the rim so much better...
Lots of Greene free throws coming
Masterful...
Smart team!
If Ellis finished that. Wow
KU playing with desire, Turner fouled out...
To bad erkel!😱
Free throws Cliff!
Play smart...
Terrible d mason. Come on
If you are going to foul, don't give him the basket...
Make 'em guys!
Yahoo!
Board!
The clock is your friend... use as much as you can and go for the sure two and/or foul...
Greene will be getting the ball and getting to the line...
Kinda quiet there
Texas 3 point shooters are in...
4 on Mason
Put Selden on him? Size?
Get oubre in there for length. Wth
Double bonus...
Throat!
Chant!!!
Press us!!!
Huge win for the quest
GAME OVER!!!
KU!
Very solid game. Very solid. Never felt like we weren't in control really. Maybe first 4 minutes
I'm so happy!!! Unless brooks croacked!
Wait a minute...did I just watch this team beat somebody who played a zone against us? With no turnovers in the second half? Stunned!
No TO's in the second half. Solid game and KU in control of the conference race.
@Crimsonorblue22
Forgive me. But if he did. I hope it was while sipping his crown . Bedding a sweet young cutie. And watching the jayhawks win. :)
@JayHawkFanToo amazing, remember what self said about getting blocked when the know it alls start griping about Self!
This is huge!!!!
32 point in the paint against the tallest team in the conference...HEM must be on life support...
@JayHawkFanToo ha!
Nice win for the 'Hawks. Didn't see it coming to be honest, but they proved me wrong and for that I truly apologize. I will never doubt KU, Self, Perry, Frank, et al. again!
Time to walk down the street and watch the grade schoolers hoop it up. Enjoyed the chat guys! RCJH!
@wissoxfan83 don't forget Mari! He lived in a car u know!
@wissoxfan83 and the whole team, especially Coach
Best game of the year. Best game in a couple of years as far as I am concerned. Incredible effort by every guy who saw the floor today. Hawks!!!!
Great job of rotating guys!
WVU currently losing to TCU late. The day could get better.
@joeloveshawks thatd be great
Self is a sure first vote Hall of Famer, why would any one argue with what he does escapes me...he wins a better clip than any other coach, he must be doing something right.
@JayHawkFanToo but... They do!
I agree, most complete game of the year. Key stat, 3 TOs , 0 in the second half; it does not get any better.
Brooks, answer!
...and continue to look silly...and petty...
Every man is foulable. Therefore every man can be questioned. But the guy keeps answering with wins. No question there
@JayHawkFanToo Exactly. Good word you used...complete. It was a complete game. Very clean on both ends.
We got all those 50/50 balls, plus great d!
Nothing succeeds like success...
We have learned a lot about scoring against length!
Hope Longhorns bounce back at ISU Monday!
@JayHawkFanToo like march and april success I think is what most would say
@cragarhawk we keep getting better!
@Crimsonorblue22 truth
Best win of the year. Every player looked great. first really good game of the year - our defense was dominant for huge swatches of this game. Greene, Perry, Jamari, Devonte, Frank,Wayne, and the Big Man Cliffie were total studs this game. What a tough minded team I saw today...hey Myles...you picked the wrong door!!!
He does have one Championship but the NCAA is a crap shoot with a lot of luck involved...
If KU wins 12 or 13 in row to tie or beat Wooden's streak, it would be one of the top 10 achievements in all sports, all-time. Wooden won most of his against much lesser competition. If KU is ready to win 12, the streak would be the talk of sports the entire season, no question about it.
@JayHawkFanToo agreed
I'm headed over to Shulz Garten if any other board rats will be there I'll be wearing a blue KU shirt and red hat and I'm black if that helps lol
@cragarhawk the fight these kids have give them a great shot in April!
@HawkInMizery how much fun was that?!!!!! U guys did great representing us!! Have fun, save travels!
@Crimsonorblue22 be tough to beat with effort like today
I am impressed with this team's attitude. They are fighting for every ball and hustling non-stop...gotta love'm...:)
@HawkInMizery as long as u r not orange!!
I cannot say enough about the effort of our team, today on the road, against a pretty big Texas team. Every player that played today contributed. Zero turnovers in the 2nd half. Outstanding team effort. Unselfish team that is all about getting the win. Chemistry is starting to kick in. Hopefully, we can keep the momentum going.
@JayHawkFanToo we have such a great combo!
TTEch 23 - ISU 8...can this day get any better?
@JayHawkFanToo WVU now in OT. Would be nice if they lose and ISU!
@JayHawkFanToo yes. Ttu can pull it off. As can tcu. Lol
I saw that...WVU starting to show big cracks...no, not that kind :)
Self talking about Mari's big hustle plays!!
@joeloveshawks what channel?
I wonder how low KenPom will drop KU. He still has KU 8 spots lower than OU...hard to believe.
@Crimsonorblue22 thats really where the game turned our way the most i think
I'm hoping our kids r getting some big ole steaks before they come home!
Big ole bite of Bevo
TTU up 29-10...
@JayHawkFanToo holy cow!
@Crimsonorblue22 ESPN 3
TTU 6-10 from 3, ISU 1-10...live by the 3 die by the 3...
@JayHawkFanToo what channel?
Found it
ESPN3 is blacked out for many of us. I still hate Zenger...
TCU up by 3 and at the foul line with 46 seconds left
@JayHawkFanToo I didn't want to tell u u I'm watching post game on twc, I have cox cable.
@JayHawkFanToo That is bullsh*t! I live in Illinois and watch it constantly.
I hate you...LOL.
@JayHawkFanToo I know!! So do my parents and on and on.......
ISU getting smoked! For now...
Blacked out in the entire State of Kansas and the KC Metro Area.
@Crimsonorblue22 i like ya if that helps at all :)
Turner said they got away from being an inside out team
In other news...Misery lost again ...their record is now 7-12.
@JayHawkFanToo Really? ESPN3? Even on Apple TV Watch ESPN?
@cragarhawk thx
@joeloveshawks you are killing him!!
@Crimsonorblue22 it was unreal there!!! You could clearly here Jayhawk chants the entire game . We are gonna party tonight and drive back tomorrow
I get all the ESPN channels including ESPN3 but thanks to Zenger, "KU specific programing" is blacked out in Kansas...I know, It is stupid...
@HawkInMizery party for us! Can't wait to hear about game from u. Could hear the chant.
@VailHawk I told some Misery trollers a few years back they should go get a copy of the newspaper showing misery ranked in the top 5 in basketball, so they could show their grandkids in 30 years the time that Misery was relevant, and actually ranked in the top 5 ( they went on that year to lose to Norfolk St in the first round).
@Crimsonorblue22 did u meet up w/Rock chalking?
WVU escapes in OT...and I mean escapes.
@JayHawkFanToo Tcu hosed on that last foul. No contact
@JayHawkFanToo darn!
Every home team gets that call...except KU...
@JayHawkFanToo The way that frank and Devonte handled pressure today gives me lots of hope we'll get lots of runouts when WVU tries to pressure us. I LOVE seeing only 3 turnovers....
TTech up 36-35 at half time...
@JayHawkFanToo shoot, they came back.
@JayHawkFanToo We used to beg teams to press us when Roy was coach.
@JayHawkFanToo rarely see that call at all with less than 5 seconds to play honestly
The only team I am worried is still ISU, they are a bad match up for KU. KSU is playing surprisingly well and they always seem to get up for KU.
@JayHawkFanToo if, and I mean if we play like today, nobody would touch us. But, if we play like Topeka YMCA, we're toast.
@JayHawkFanToo I'm not worried about the Clones. we just have to turn the game into a half court ordeal, and not give up 20 points in runouts because we didn't get back on defense. I think we'll run them off our court.
Many 1-2 point games usually end up this way and more often than not the home team gets the call. For a change we got one at ISU a couple of years ago and you rermember how well that went...
@Crimsonorblue22 It's taken me two games to shake that one off...lol. I felt like we were soft as a baby's butt in that one, and didn't show enough poise. this win today is a really special win on so many fronts because we played tough- we proved to ourselves we could beat height and length, and we could dismantle a tall team's defense just as well as a shorter team. That was some GREAT coaching from Mr. Self, and some GREAT execution from the good guys today. I am pumped.....
I am curious on how HEM spins this game to take credit away from Self; I am guessing it will be Barnes poor coaching. ROTFLMAO.
@JayHawkFanToo i predict the opposite - he will be thrilled with Coach's tremendous game plan, as we all are. What did you think of Greene's performance? i just think we have to let him get 20 minutes every game. My gosh, he is our biggest weapon, and he is a deadly 3 point shooter...
@JayHawkFanToo BG said in post game that Ellis gave him the black eye.
Maybe he is going back to his HS fighting days?
From the ESPN recap:
"The Jayhawks slowly broke down Texas' zone defense with 3-pointers before picking it apart from the inside. Perry Ellis scored eight points and Alexander had consecutive dunks to help the Jayhawks to a 32-30 halftime lead."
And I though KU did not have an inside game and should be chucking only 3s...
TTech is rock-and-rolling...ahead by 15 with 8 minutes left in the second half.
We are all Red Raiders today...GO Texas Tech...beat those Clones!!!!
@JayHawkFanToo ha ha
Tech wishing it had more time outs...
ISU desperation shots keeping them in the game...
Refs hand ISU a gift...
Free throws
Flop by the girl
Never throw the ball there!
Niang, what did u say about winning the big 12?
Rushing the court!!!
@Crimsonorblue22 McKay totally flopped. He almost had a smirk or a grin on his face afterward.
I hate that rule.
@JayHawkFanToo someone tweeted kenpom probably had TT picked to win big 12 now!
You know he thinks that losing a close game is more valuable than winning close one; Al Gore of course disagrees...and George "Dubya" is ROTFLHAO
[or click link here ]( https://m. ↗
You might need to fix this. It's the hustle play of mari
@JayHawkFanToo as alway, helping me out! Thx!
No prob, sis...
@JayHawkFanToo someone said Texas would have to be buffing out the Mari dents in the floor.
Rock Chalk Bucketeers!!! Appreciate the concern but son showed up at half so we all had lunch and chatted for awhile. I could hear the little beeps on the puter and really wanted to slip off to see what was going on. So after he left I fired up the TIVO and what an effort for the second half. I hope this one is the one that shows these kids what it takes to get #11. Fantastic double digit win on the road against a big Texas team. Now excuse me while I sip on the first of two shots of Crown 75th.
@JayHawkFanToo Rock Chalk that. What an effort. An effort I'd put money on that would've been a W at ISU.
@Crimsonorblue22 @JayHawkFanToo If that block by JamTray doesn't make ESPN Top 10 tonite I'll be po'd. Should be in the top 5. Great hustle.
I'm still in awe over the Jamari hustle play. The block alone should make every top 10 list there is!
@wissoxfan83 that's what he does! Need I say more?
Hey where did everyone go?
@Crimsonorblue22 yer slot if crown eve beeter then furst won.. hic....
@globaljaybird Yeah. I told Crimson if the Hawks pulled this one off I'd have one for her too. lol Man what a game and performance by the Hawks. How was the movie?
@brooksmd Excellent brooks, just excellent. Ya gotta see it. Eastwood directed one helluva flick. I liked the hell outta Gran Torino & this one even more. Oscar time in my book, maybe for he & Cooper both. War scenes are super intense & home scenes are just as great with a little timely humor & good one liners filling in blanks in quite dramatic & personal interactions between Kyle, his wife, & others. Don't want to give up too much but the end is sad, as you may assume. Let's just say I'd give it a +1000 HOOYAHS !! But you know I'm a SEAL guy anyway...
@globaljaybird I may have to sneak off and see it this week. Normally I hate spending the outlandish prices of theaters and wait on dvd. But some like Lone Survivor and Sniper I pay money for. Well did you at least record the rest of the game and watch it after you got home?
You 4 guests lurking in the background should sign in and join us.
@brooksmd Is a bullfrog waterproof? Hell yeah !! Jake & I watched it during bean time & I had it on fox gametrax while in the flick. 3 flippin TO's? Are you kiddin me? These guys were hustling their a$$$es off today. Don't know if they've got the firepower to take UK, but they sure have the balls. JMO
@globaljaybird lol bullfrog. They left no doubt that the road to the psuedo-Big 12 Championship still runs through Lawrence. I guess I have to eat crow for my second post about JamTray starting over Cliff. What hustle he showed late in the first half. Guarantee a rematch with UK would have a different outcome. Not saying a win but UK would know they'd been in a fight.
@brooksmd I ordered 2 books from amazon just last week & one arrived yesterday but Sniper is not here yet. Have also read SEAL of Honor also & there will be a movie made of Murphy's story as well. In fact I've read 7-8 of the SEAL series books in the past half dozen years., & enjoy that a lot during the winter months.
lol Bellichick got his dancing shoes on and blaming everybody but the Pats for pressure gate. Solution is NFL providing balls.
Figures. Looks like ESPN gonna show everybody including NAIA game ending before Hawks.
@brooksmd have so crow w/that crown, making light of the guy that lived in a car in Chicago! Today has been a great day!! I could not be an happier w/game, then I go to a movie this evening and the guy said my ticket was free! Should have bought a lotto ticket. Watching my other man, TRob play now. Global, did you watch the game? Everyone contributed!!
@Crimsonorblue22 Yuck. Crow and Crown. Hawks keep this up I'm gonna have to break into the piggy bank and get another bottle. Wonder if HCBS will reimburse me. Global said he recorded it and watched when he got home from the movie. How you get a free movie ticket?
Here's that guy that made himself look really silly!!! Too bad for him it didn't work out!
@Crimsonorblue22 :thumbsup: Hawks keep it up I'll have to buy a new bottle soon. And it's expensive that's why I only have it for special circumtances.
Frickin' ESPN only showed about half of that JamTray sequence. Spent more time on NHL skills competition.
@Crimsonorblue22 If you think I'm gonna have 11 shots when they win #11 the answer is NO. :grimacing:
@Crimsonorblue22 That's a possibility if they clinch it with 4-5 games left.
@Crimsonorblue22 What movie you see tonite? Damn, be glad when Coach K gets 1001.
@Crimsonorblue22 That one has been out awhile. Surprised it's not on dvd. Yeah, SC.
@Crimsonorblue22 At least got to see Sarapova while waiting to see 10 seconds of KU hilites.
@Crimsonorblue22 Nice. We just had a theater converted to a movie tavern here complete with food and drinks.
@Crimsonorblue22 We're getting to the point we have enough good places to eat here on the northshore we don't have to go into NO and always looking over shoulder for thugs.
@Crimsonorblue22 You said earlier you were watching TRob. How'd he do?
@Lulufulu Its playing all over the entire KCKS & KCMO metro & we still had to reserve tics a week in advance. Well worth the wait-I highly recommend it unless one is a pacifist. They'll see it & shoot off their mouths like Moore, Maher or Rogen. That ungrateful fool Rogen just damn near succeeded in starting WWIII with his failed acute & clever sense of idiocy & stupidity. Some of these semi famous public whiners oughta just be bitch slapped & put back inside the door IMO. Sorry gotta let it go-too political for buckets.
@globaljaybird I ignore politics. Unlike KU basketball, politics is just a game.
I agree with you 100%. We are the Home of the Free BECAUSE of the Brave.
@JayHawkFanToo PHOF !!
@Crimsonorblue22 I definitely did some partying for you guys. I ended up drinking with Gregor Clegane of The Game of Thrones Fame. The game was absolutely unreal. the section we sat in was mostly Jayhawks as were a few other sections throughout the game we all chanted lets go Jayhawks and it was loud!! We definitely travel well. The slow chant is the most hauntingly beautiful thing especially in an opponents house!
Anyone that served honorably in the military has my respect and heartfelt gratitude.
@HawkInMizery are you recovered? We could hear the chant too!! I was crazy happy, can't imagine how fun it was for you guys!! Did you meet any bucket posters before game??? I'm going to the kstate and ISU game. Super stoked!! Next year you guys have to take me!!! TCU wed! Rock Chalk!
@globaljaybird Just saw where Howard "Brain Dead" Dean said people who go see The Sniper are angry Americans and most likely members of the Tea Party. Gary Sinise had a good response.
@brooksmd Craig Morgan, ex Army Ranger, country singer & performer, & almost 20 year vet replied to Rogen the other day. Morgan said he should be humbled & thankful for men like Kyle who give their lives so idiots like he can have the freedom to say all the stupid Schizz he is currently posting on twitter. Lotsa battle lines being drawn over this story.
@globaljaybird And the real idiots are showing their true colors.
@Crimsonorblue22 Ha I'm recovered now I was supposed to work yesterday at 0700 but I was too dang tired from the drive. I drove both ways a little over 700 miles each way. It was well worth it though and most definitely you are welcome to ride down with me next year! I didn't get to meet up with anyone before the game, we got to the hotel around 0400 and didn't wake up til around 1030 and we ate breakfast and barely made it to the game before tip. I wanted to go to the TCA game too but can't since it's in the middle of the week. I'm going to try and make it to a couple more games this year at the Fieldhouse this year. I'll be there when we play WVU for sure since it's on my birthday, and someone always buys me tickets :)
@Crimsonorblue22 Watching OSU @ UT tonite your favorite low flying Texas bench warmer was still trying to fly. You know the dude squatting with his arms out whose photo you posted. Again it didn't help as Texas lost in OT by 2. :beer:
