Alrighty now, let's have a smack down of the purple kitties.

Hi Brooks

Nice weather huh?

@wissoxfan83 Evening. Thought I was gonna be late since my wife was late getting home from work and you know you have to spend time with the mrs first.

I'm pretty freakin' pumped for this game.

@wissoxfan83 Ugh.

Dang, last I saw GT was up 13.

Listening to 810 am. It seems Webber thinks his kitties have a chance. LOL Especially after he threw the under the bus. Nice head Coach there. Silly man. ;)

@DoubleDD Hope they don't take a "we'll show you" attitude.

I'm not overly optimistic for this game to be honest. We didn't exactly blow them out at home, but I guess they're kind of scuffling lately.

@wissoxfan83 Yeah, but remember they're playing Kansas and we have the bullseye.

@brooksmd

I'm sure they will? This Kstate seems to have munity in the ranks, and they've only scored over 60 points like once in the last 11 games. I think?

Man that should've been an and 1 on that GT layup.

Evening friends

Evening Cragar

@cragarhawk Cragar how you this evening? What's the weather like in Lawrence? Down here in Nawlins is cold and wet.

Whoopee, Mush-mouth.

@brooksmd well. I dont live in Lawrence. But i bet its just as cold as it is here. Bout 2 hrs west

Lucky

Perry!

How does oubre miss that?

Poor choice

@wissoxfan83 ?

Didn't oubre miss that layup?

Yes

Perry big

Nice movement

Dang Cliff! Be ready

How many missed bunnies already?

Step to ball

Perry 7 KSU 4

There's that lackadaisical pass

Perry needs to dunk every time

Looked like a bs call on Cliff

Walk

Well that wasn't the start we wanted from Cliff. To the bench with 2 fouls

Ciff '(

LIstening to a podcast called to Jayhawk Talk, they said his teammates call Perry the Blender because of his spin moves

What we r accustomed too.

Cliff can't get a break.

Somebody feed Perry some Wheaties??

@brooksmd Yes, but did you note that Selden just stood there after Foster started the other way.

BS call

Brother

KO is active on the boards - just needs to get a shot to fall

Great pass Lucas

Maybe Perry will get 50

Gotta play much better D

Good board selden

Nice clean up by seldon there

Selden with the Grown Man Slam

@DCHawker He may need too.

Nice put back by Selden - rare OR and showed some hop

Wouldn't it be fun to do that?

Ksu lazy ball

WTF??? Greene?

BG get it and shoot again.

Let's see how oubre/BG responds to air ball, mushy

Shake it off Brannen

Not much scoring but very fast pace

Dg!

BG and 1

Run the floor!!! Love it

Sweet pass. And finish

Oh My Greene!!

I am liking the pace, I figured ksu would try to slow it down and dirty it up.

Call him air ball again!

Have to like BG's chance of making the FT! Good to see him run the floor!

please keep screaming air ball. Greene might hit 10 3,s

This is the group that can create turnovers and get transition buckets. Haven't seen much of it this year - but nice to see now...

@Crimsonorblue22 That's good! Agree....they will regret it!

Good things happen when u sprint the floor!

Duh mush!

Travel???

Don't foul out of control!

Come on ref the kid was gonna fall on his butt on his own

crap crap crap

Mason out of control

Bad Dg and fm

WTF - stepped away for one minute and 6 pt lead just disappeared.

Double Dribble on KSU.

That was an awful few trips down the court. Cough up a 6 pt. lead in no time.
Dang that seems familiar!

@DCHawker dont do it again :)

What's up everyone.

@cragarhawk will hold to til the end of the game

@Eric Evening Eric. Maybe now they'll play some ball. Been waiting on you.

Ugh broke my tailbone and stuck at the pharmacy.

@Eric OUCH thats gotta hurt

@Eric Ouch. Slip on some global warming?

Selden bailed out - don't know where he was going with that.

Ski jump in CO and landed straight on my butt.

@Eric I did that playing sb. Nothing they could do.

I get to sit on a nice donut pillow now lol

Eric ouch.

How's KU looking so far? I should be home for 2H

@brooksmd Been cheatin guys. Am watching the World Dog Awards till 8:30 & then take care of the Cats. Off topic but Brooks, FYI-Subaru donated 12 Million dollars to the ASPCA last year. That's a helluva lot of money. Still chuckle over the commercial with the Boxer makin out in the car. Thanks for the link.

@Eric Started great, now looking a bit sped up

@Eric Don't know if they can wait that long.

Don't get that call on Oubre. The guy ran right over his leg...KO didn't move

@Eric playing hard. But pretty sloppy so far.

@Eric that keeps u straight. Less pain, killed me to sit in car or hard chair-back spasms. At least u will have a donut pillow for your wife!

@cragarhawk Yes....playing sped up and sloppy

I LOLed at Thomas gipsies comment earlier.

come refs are we calling it close or not?

GIPSON*

@globaljaybird You see the one where they follow the smokin clunker with the blinking turn signal? That's my Mikie driving. Looks just like him.

I gotta think with this pace they get tired before we do

We suck at 3 foot shots

Geez Louise

Dang oubre!

@brooksmd No but will go to youtube & find it.

Great pass. Have to finish that

too many missed layups!

Ellis is on fire

PE kickin butt tonite

Is that 2?

@Hawk8086 If we could hit even 50% of 2 ft shots, we'd be 24-3 anyway!

I hope something magical is happening to Perry Ellis right now. Hes beginning to believe.....

Nice

@Crimsonorblue22 Iwundu and Edwards with 2 each

Damn perry

See yall in a bit

double dribble

Lucas

Crap

Feels like an 80 pt game, not 60.

wish Lucas had seen Greene in the corner

How did Lucas end up switching and guarding Johnson? That hurt us.

Wish we could shoot some three's, Aw but we have to throw everything inside.

I seem to recall people on kubuckets saying that Graham wasn't that good. He's good. He's essential to what KU has going on.

@Hawk8086 His first three was Perry on him. Bill needed the time out to scheme.

@DoubleDD Perry's not to shabby underneath

@betterfireE Agree - he's growing up. Actually like both him and Frank in the game at the same time - really opens up the floor.

@Crimsonorblue22 Must be your super personality cause we got a boatload on here tonight.

Come on frank

Oubre playing on 9 ft goals

Barely

Very nice cut

Home court call

Frank!

I agree with Self on that one... it stank

Interior defense is porous

Dumb

Would not want to listen to half time talk

Really bad finish to the first half. Dumb foul. We let them take the lead.
Really bad.

Even the last shot of the half we can't run a set 3. Fuk it Bill tell your players no threes, Oh wait you already did that.

@Hawk8086 agreed. Just not smart play alot of that half by a team thats supposed to have a high bball IQ

@DoubleDD tsk tsk, ladies on here.

@brooksmd

My bad.

@DoubleDD :thumbsup:

Sorry, I don't feel too good about the 2nd half. It felt like we controlled the game (other than the dumb plays) and we are behind at the half. I felt like we should have a 7-9 pt. lead.
They have more momentum than they should have.

Jayhawks not named Perry Ellis 6 of 23 from the field - most of those within 3ft of the hoop.

can it get any worse? we play well, have some bonehead plays and have 1 player our PG on a suicide mission by himself. he completely ruined Perry's great half

Ugh all I heard on the radio going home was complaining about the refs

@BeddieKU23
Yes Mason is killing us right now.

@Kubie I would!

we should just roll with Graham. You can't trust that mason is just going to magically stop trying to fix the game

We'll see what the boys are made of in the 2nd half - B12 championship string may very well ride on what happens, esp. given how well ISU is playing.

So if Bruce started foster to win, does that mean he didn't care about the last few games?

@Crimsonorblue22

of course, he saves his job if he wins tonight and worse is that foster transfers after season

we have to stop the ball..we're giving them wide open drives to the basket...and we're getting clobbered, and the refs have swallowed their whistles...frank has been fouled three times with no calls..

@KUSTEVE Yeah, but how. Has been an issue all year.

nigel johnson is killing us already 2.5 times his season average. why did thomas get 2 first half fouls again

Frank is repeating Kentucky game!

Dynamic word coming out of weber is just weird!

@Crimsonorblue22 the weirdest commercial i've ever seen...

Let's do this 2nd half!!! 🍻🍻

Done it all year

@KUSTEVE Yes. It seems like I have been screaming stop ball all night long.

Vegas saying KU wins by 3

My pick to click 2nd half: Frank Mason...

We're normally a two half team. Let's hope the first was the bad one.

@brooksmd let's hope so.

that Javon Thomas is a whiney little girly man...

I hate this elbow crap. Don't wanna get a bloody nose stay away from the elbow.

Call the damn foul first

Cliff played defense with his hands. KO should know you can't clear out with your elbows!

Yeak he got clipped but it wasn't like he was hit by Buster Douglas.
**

@KUSTEVE Oh and once again, even though they missed the layup...we didn't stop the ball

It's a rule guys, swing elbows it's a foul

Dumb ass rule

Mason

my pick to click comes thru...go frank!!!!

Foul

@KUSTEVE bout dang time!

@Crimsonorblue22 I guess so

@KUSTEVE About time!

@Crimsonorblue22 patience is a virtue...

I'm out tonight

@Crimsonorblue22 What you mean you're out?

@Crimsonorblue22 i'm breaking in a new leather desk chair...i just need my guys to get with it, and put away these pesky grapes...

@Crimsonorblue22 how long did it take for your tailbone to heal?

Dudnt

Cliff getting some boards since the early foul

@Eric back spasms awhile

@Crimsonorblue22 Dudnt?

@brooksmd didnt

@Crimsonorblue22 back spasms= my middle name..hence the new chair...

What the heck?

What da hey Selden?

I hope these meds help. Muscles are cramping like crazy.

Yeah

Nice cut, nice pass

To fast for me

@Eric back trouble, too?

Energy?

Well,we've all wanted Perry to slam it on the break :)

Backs hurting from leaning forward to keep pressure off my tailbone.

Another stupid TO.

It's been 10 years since I sneezed and back gave out.

Let's see what happens. UP 8 with the ball...they cut to 6...stupid TO. Will the lead disappear again?

This sounds bad, but I think Cliff backing off on D a bit to avoid fouls is helping his rebounding. He's not just flailing around trying to block everything and getting all out of position.

@Eric ugh... well, maybe a win will take your mind off it...

The eye test. (shaking my head)

@Eric sit on donut, don't sit in one side-that's what causes spasms

Self at the half said they need to stop giving up these miniature leads they build up. It's happened about three times tonight.

@Kubie makes sense

We can't handle prosperity - get a lead and immediately give it back - seems to be the refrain every game

@KUSTEVE a win here would help

Do they have to bring up that crap?

Whistle happy

Travel on WVU and PE was shoved on the drive.

Never lived on MO side until recently, are people allowed to have roosters in their backyard?

Drugs?

@Eric Yeah. The rooster warns them when the cops come to bust the meth lab.

@brooksmd you beat me to it..

I meant Eric's on drugs

Funny you say that, my neighbors house went up in flames last week.

@KUSTEVE :thumbsup:

@Eric Well there ya go.

Go Perry!

Go away holly

I'm on some drugs now, muscles are feeling loose.

In the bonus with 14 minutes to go - need to attack the rim and win the game at the FT line

So KO wasn't fouled, huh?

Go Bruce!!

Always fun to see Bruce mad.

What's up with all the charge calls

They get these ref's from a rec center somewhere?

Does it take an autopsy to get a foul call or wtf here

Bet u wouldn't take one now!

KO creamed & no call

where's greene?

@KUSTEVE Who?

Oubre's playing good now

@globaljaybird terrible officiating...

Oubre didn't get there in time

Go to Perry every time

oh for crying out loud someone needs to get free!

Doesn't anybody know how to help?

This is ridiculous.

Oh my gosh, like 10 secs! Y pick up your dribble?

@Kubie Exactly, they left Devonte hanging out to dry.

@brooksmd Guess not

they are mugging us every possession...

@KUSTEVE You must be seeing things. :smile:

Wildcats believe they will win, and KU is well playing the system. :(

@KUSTEVE Color Purple

They just said what I had been thinking....Just like WVU game. They keep hanging around.
My fear is that Foster gets just hot enough at the end. That's why we need to pull away just a little...but we can't seem to do that.

@Crimsonorblue22 Reminds me of Tharpe

Graham hardly pulls up his dribble

Wonder if foster goes to class?

@globaljaybird devonte has NEVER reminded me of tharpe...bite your tongue..

@Crimsonorblue22 Foster and class?

@Hawk8086 exactly. He will win it for them if we dont get it stretched out

CRAP

here we go...

Damn

Intentional? Must be on Kansas

get a lead guys...let's get something going...

Dumber than us

@KUSTEVE PU the dribble with nowhere to go like Tharpe

That's like a horsecollar tackle in football!

Webby has resorted to HackaHawk

PE sweet

@globaljaybird has devonte done that 1,000 times like tharpe...bad comparison, imo...

Purple plan is to hackahawk on every position

Bruce has been strutting & whining about BS out of the coaching box

If you can't beat 'em, hack 'em

Don't leave him

@truehawk93 thug ball...

Can't do much else

Johnson decided to play

My eyes must be bad as I thought whoever tried the steal had his arm grabbed.

Always get a career hi

@brooksmd Damn boys how bout a stop?

figures a medicore player has a career high game against KU

@globaljaybird Never mind Webber has been on the court the whole game.

Shitty pass

2walks

Good news is Foster has 6 pts and no sign of heating

someone please get in Johnson's jock strap and shut him down

What is going on?

Alexander got a ghost foul!!

Alex foul...oh the familiar ring

Rec center refs

NO jump shots...attack attack attack...

Get Selden out

Yep pull him

@brooksmd Damn boys how bout a stop?

was watching Greene he has having a hard time getting open. Not sure what the heck Seldon thought he had no where to go on that drive

Well. I hope we can keep it within 10. Cant give a team like this hope in their own building. Sloppy and unintelligent play. Another night

Geez...down 4...hate this

Wildcats can shoot 3's but KU oh no lets pound it inside.

@Kubie Right, he had absolutely no where to go. Frustrating.

Starting to look like first half was our best half tonight.

Wayne out now!!

@brooksmd stop!!

Grind it out

@Hawk8086 3rd time tonight for him

meltdown mode

I wonder when KU is down by 10 if HCBS will ok the fools gold???

ESPN lovs putting us on the road for BIg Monday. It's the toughest time to play on the road.

@BeddieKU23 Get it to Perry

will someone please step up and make some plays...Mason, Oubre, Ellis? Manager? Someone...ridiculous

its over now

Here's where we lack leadership and a playmaker

mason with a i dont know what im doing 3

Mason forget his teamates

game game game

omg...self destructing

Ugh are we really going to lose this game

I'm throwing up now. Hear what they r saying?

Real classy chant by KSU

@Eric not just the game

Oh my

KU in bonus...drive drive and drive...create contact stop clock and go to line

Can't believe he dribbled full ct

KUs play and these meds making me nauseous.

Thank you BG...do it again...

Bonus, drive, stop clock, hit Fts

Just flashed that we've given up 55% FG so far this half.

KSU hacks...they're fouling...make them pay...beat them from the stripe

Play smart & win at the line

I don't have much confidence in KUs ft lately

stop the freakin clock and score

Box rebound...

Dang those offensive rebounds!

@Eric Hit 4 straight

FTs seem to be the only thing keeping us alive

This is it...take advantage...they can't score anymore

KO

KOKOKOKOKO

Williams on PE like a cheap suit

Just cant stop them

Webers on the floor more than spit

Mari...............................

We can't stop them. Beating us off the dribble.

KU's offense plan get the ball to Ellis. Even Webber can see this. (shaking my head)

He looks mentally challenged

9 more RBs - more FTs on the road, and we're still behind. If you can't get stops you can't win.

make FTs and get a stop

Missing 9 of last 10 shots doesn't help either

best hope is ksu self destructing, god knows KU has set an example of that

This is it...

Well. Thats the league

Pathetic!

Dang 1 FG in last 9 minutes

SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE

1 FG in 9 minutes. How is that possible????

Well..there's the story.....no FG in 9 mins. missed 9 of last 10.
Can't win that way!

@truehawk93 if we can't beat ksu......

We can only hope ISU loses...don't think so at this point

@Crimsonorblue22 Oh my! Negativity from you?

Yep

Sick, just sick...I don't know or understand this team.

@truehawk93 i refuse to hope for that. This team had all the chances to take it and win. They dont deserve it. So thats it.

Don't foul

They need to get ready for a court storming

This team is weak. We're not gonna survive the first weekend of the tournament.

This could get ugly...I'll be surprised if some fan doesn't do something stupid.

@wissoxfan83 Maybe not, we ain't very tough outside AFH

Weber scared?

@truehawk93 My expectations just lowered a bit

@globaljaybird depending on the night. Aint all that tough in AFH honestly

here's the crazy thing for KSU, they did it pretty much without Foster's offense

You clowns are practically in the cellar and you're holding up 1 finger. Funny math at KSU.

@truehawk93 Yeah but Holly gets a rush in the crowd

@brooksmd Well sure they are...they beat #1

Jayhawks not name Perry Ellis 12 of 38 from the field. Give up 39 points in the second half to a team that struggles to score. Lost 8 of their last 10 games. Oh well...

Ya. Were gonna need something like a 4 seed at best probably before its said and done. Which is most likely another loss to a 13

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah probably- he's a wuss

We have UT, WVU, and OU yet...I have no words

@truehawk93 me either!

@brooksmd Good one you old dog !!

Tears!

Bruce Webber: "I'm proud of the guys (refs?)"

@truehawk93 said from the beginning i think we will have 6 losses in the league. Looks about right. Or perhaps. Optimistic

@Crimsonorblue22 Touching don't ya think?

LOL Too funny. Poster says "We want Kentucky"

So sweet it makes me want to puke!

Maybe Foster needs Ninos barber? LOL

@brooksmd ive been thinking ppl are nuts all along talking about a rematch with UK. Maybe ksuck would have a better shot

What the heck happened to Mason?

@Crimsonorblue22 He was trying to do it himself, and wasn't up to it

@Crimsonorblue22 Well you could ask the same for Selden, Alexander, ... Wiggins hilites are good.

@brooksmd this sucks!

That was fun

@VailHawk fun as a root canal.

This team could become Perry and the Miracles...IDK...They just don't seem to get it. When was the last time they had a team meeting? Remember the team meetings after big loses? WTH...This team does nothing.

@VailHawk You have a strange idea about fun. :smile:

@brooksmd

Root canal w/out gas

K-State actually guarded the perimeter really well. They are a good defensive team on the perimeter. In fact, so was TCU, so is Baylor, Oklahoma etc. The Big 12 is stacked.

Our defense towards the end was pretty awful. It doesn't matter how many threes we take if we play defense like that.

Gonna suck tmrw too! Kstate fans r obnoxious!

Ugh.... Dammit. How this team is not below .500 right now is beyond the realm of rational thought. I wanna beat the hell outta something

@Crimsonorblue22 Hope @approxinfinity has a firewall up here to keep KSU trolls out.

Ellis, Lucas, and maybe Selden need to bring this team together and come to Jesus. It's gut check time or they're done. Good grief guys...how many loses before you get the stink out of your mouth...I don't want to hear any more talk about how these loses hurt. Let's just get it together and finish the rest of the season and MAYBE with any luck you can win out right. The pressure is now on ISU.

@brooksmd we have our own!

@truehawk93 not if you look at their schedule vs ours

@cragarhawk Ironically, they're at kstate too...how would that be if they beat isu? No, they'll lose after this win. This win is their season against KU. They've achieved their goal. You watch, ISU will blow them out. KSU will still lament how the KU win is their highlight.

How does it suck that we lose and now we'll cheer for the team that just beat us?

I need therapy...I don't know what I want anymore.

I hate it, but get your purple out folks. It's our only hope.

@truehawk93 Ironic, huh? Since ISU may be tied with us then, maybe that will give KSU another bullseye to shoot at.

@brooksmd I hope Foster comes our hotter than hell and scorches ISU for a big win.

@truehawk93 i wont cheer for them. I said before. This team doesnt deserve to win the league. They dont need to. Im square with that. And im betting youre right. ISU will throttle them. And we will lose @ OU without question. It wont be pretty

@truehawk93 you mean Nigel???

@truehawk93 foster will probably be partying tonight!

KSU better sell out the ISU game and play and cheer w the same intensity

@brooksmd Well pard just nailed my last shot of brandy & back to the rock pile (snicker, snicker) at 6 am. Eeeeeees tuff to be a man!! We'll talk tomorrow boss. GN

Not a Final 4 team when you lose to a SUB-.500 team. Past KU teams were strong in road games, not this bunch. Is this team's recipe going to get us to the Elite8? (yall know the answer). Too late in season for this type of blunder. Now we get to listen to the purple jokers brag with their sub.500 team. Yay.

@globaljaybird I'm trying to decide what to use to kill the bad taste in my mouth. Beer, wine, shine, ...... Certainly ain't gonna be my Crown 75th

@VailHawk Probably be able to get tickets behind the bench if you want.

@ralster yep. Not gonna sniff the E8. Probly not S16. Crapshoot or not

@Crimsonorblue22 Both

@brooksmd Try pisswater beer. Should be appropriate

@globaljaybird Is that before or after you drink it?

They're all back after this. Each loss simply encourages each one to return. Not one of these guys are ready for the league.

We may lose all the rest!

@Crimsonorblue22 We should beat UT and WVU...but OU?

@truehawk93 if we play like this?

Bud stallworth saying we don't have legs, tired

OU could beat ISU too...ISU is the better home team. It's going to be tough. KU's only hope is they win the rest of their games and ISU falls some how to KSU and OU...unlikely, but possible.

@Crimsonorblue22 They don't have heart

@truehawk93 Maybe a good Baylor team will showup in Ames Wed nite.

@truehawk93 or brains

@brooksmd It's sad we are hoping another team can beat ISU for us to win out right. I'm real proud. Never thought I'd have to say this for any KU team...They just need to play and win the rest of the season...PERIOD. Find some redemption.

@Crimsonorblue22 I'm really concerned about all this negativity surfacing from you. What you need is a :beer: or :beers: Yeah, I know, you don't drink.

@truehawk93 Agreed, but it don't hurt to have a little help.

I'm going to hear it tmrw! I feel like we have no pride, or heart, fight, all those things!

@brooksmd I'm not even excited to go up for the next 2 games!

@Crimsonorblue22 It's their choice. They can choose now to win. They can play without so much pressure of the stupid title crap. Just play loose and have fun. I bet they win too.

They have to get that title weight off their backs. They are feeling it heavy now. They obviously can't handle it.

@brooksmd well, the moon isnt shining on us, and since we are looking pretty shaky for our 11th crown, I dont think Crown75...maybe your 3rd option?

@truehawk93 I hope u r right!! Now all the self bashing. Hate that!

Self had a bad time getting off court. Bad

I am really pissed. But I deleted my post. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better. But right now I am REALLY pissed. PS. (Perry-sleep well tonight, you are a stud.)

Looks like coach got smashed

@truehawk93 appreciate your positive thought!

@brooksmd That's a fav line from "Take This Job & Shove It" From Harry "By God" Mead to Silver Fox Charlie Rich. BTW that was Uncle Pete's nickname. Great flick- Art Carney, Eddy Albert, original Bigfoot Ford truck, Martin Mull, Barbara Hershey, Gary Busey.. One of the funniest & cleverest flicks of the early 80's. A true classic for us rednecks brooks. We're probably both qualified. JMO & GN again.

I bet the KU hate will be off the charts when the mildcats sober up tomorrow. This gives them a big win but the dance requires more wins I think. They are nit-maybe ncaa IF the do something worthwhile now.

As for Weber-it might just guarantee him another year at KSU.
Ism pissed we lost but would be fine with Weber at KSU as a result.
As I posted earlier-this was the KSU Super Bowl for the players, coaches, students and fans.

What is next?

@JayhawkRock78 I'm seeing a few videos after game, Mari got blindsided, self caught up in it!

@Crimsonorblue22 Self wasn't too happy after the game concerning the crowd rushing the court. Stupid talking head on ESPN said security should string a rope to prevent it until teams get off the court. Like a rope is gonna stop 5000 goat herders, especially considering their favorite chant. Should be a ban set by schools or NCAA and if violated a forfeiture of the game. Or do like they do in back country redneck bars where they protect bands with chicken wire and run chicken wire around the court. Quite appropriate for KSU.

@brooksmd :) a little trolling keeps us honest.
