SELDEN!!!!!!!!!!!

WAYNEE

@KUSTEVE Let's ride this horse.

Heck yes

@brooksmd giddy up

feed wayne all game

Selden making some shots with his heels on the 3 line

@brooksmd GIDDYUP...

Looking good now!

@Crimsonorblue22 LOL...great minds....

!Screen Shot 2015-03-14 at 10.47.02 AM.png ↗

Keep Perry out side

FRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soft frank

Yes

Go

cry-clowns commence the crying....

Frank better touch on runners!

now this is the kansas team we've been waiting for all year

Right Mush mouth. But we ain't OU or Texas. We're KANSAS and we play tough bad ball.

@KUSTEVE Let's not get cocky yet - after the final buzzer, yes!

@KUSTEVE me and jethro-great minds! Ha ha scary

the Red Fury makes his first appearance into the game....

Hogue wit da hook Dat maybe 2

@DCHawker

but we better enjoy it while they playing their butts off

@KUSTEVE And immediately makes an impact - would have him in whenever McKay is - not a threat to shoot from outside, so doesn't have to chase him

I'm live blogging ambidextrously. Jnew with the left hand, KU buckets with the right.

Need fouls update!!!

@BeddieKU23 Loving it now

Did he just say mickelson had decent range?

the red fury does it again!!!!!!!!!!

ISU 5 PFs KU 4 PFs

No Hunter jumpers

@wissoxfan83 Didn't see it on that shot, but at AR, he shot quite a few 3's I believe.

Really?

mari has been terrible

@Bwag Interesting. Range is something I've never associated with mick

@BeddieKU23 no joke

What's BG going to do?

Nice wayne

SELDEN!!!!!!!!!!

Love that frank

@wissoxfan83 I'll have to do some checking up...but seems that is what all the Hog fans around here were saying about him.

giddy up go

bullcrap call

@BeddieKU23 Maybe - but you don't throw it to your big with 35 feet from the hoop

Hunter pull it out!

Seldon starting to hit a few in close. That will be huge if he gets that going consistently. Seems wasn't too long ago, Self was reportedly asking the asst coaches on the bench if he ever hit any of those.

Hunter, you a big boy. Next time if you can't pull up put the foot down and make him pay.

this wayne guy we know is playing out of his mind

@brooksmd Might see LL back after the TO

The best thing for Selden was Oubre going out because he's been lighting it up!

My son just texted me that I need to work w/Mari on his d!! He knows I try to find the good in Mari.

besides anything our defense is absolutely locked in these guys look lost

@Crimsonorblue22 the troubling thing is that weve seen that he is so much better player than this

but NIang has one move that inside to over the right shoulder Mickelson would block that every time

@cragarhawk I'm not giving up in him, he try's hard

@BeddieKU23 Yes, but he can't chase Niang on the perimeter - would shoot 3s or blow by him

@BeddieKU23 He walks half the time he makes it

Get Niang another foul

THATS FLAGRANT

Long 2?

Why hasn't Niang gone pro?

3 BALL!!!!!!!!!!

Finally out of bounds

man greene

We're probably going to have to listen to the announcers talk about how ISU always comes back

BG, good idea

He walked

@BeddieKU23 Greene expected Lucas to go to the hoop.

@brooksmd And he should have

Turn it up

@wissoxfan83 it will be highly annoying, but mushburger will drone on about the "comeback" kids until they don't come back...

Mush mouth you forget we came from 18 down against WVU?

2 for 1 here now damn it

And fl and mizzo

@KUSTEVE There you go, did you hear it?

Dble team Niang?

@wissoxfan83 right on cue...lol.

@KUSTEVE

there it is right out of timeout

Keep him from catching? They have 3 guys w/2

@brooksmd Someday mush will fu real good like he did abt KWebb & he'll b gone

And 1

@Crimsonorblue22 I'd like to see a replay on DG's 3.

.4429 for 3pt shooting

I'll take a 14 point lead....

@brooksmd rewind!

what a half

@Crimsonorblue22 I will. Shut up mush mouth.

@globaljaybird u know he was drooling over the girls!

ISU 1/11 .091 from 3

I'm so excited!!!! Not over though!

@Bwag

and thats how you beat teams that rely on 3's feast or famine

ISU will keep shooting. Their best come backs when the go back inside

Holding ISU to 23 at half is damn impressive. Keep them under 40 in the 2nd half and we've got this.

@KUSTEVE jethro! U r like mushy

@DCHawker

too me most impressive half of the year and that includes the Oklahoma game. this team is dialed in on defense today

Seldon with 13...Has he finally broken through and his head in the right place for post season?

So ESPN has been plugging this special on Laettner's shot. They're going to call it the greatest shot ever. They probably won't say it was just a quarterfinal game.

They won't do a special on Chalmers shot, or Scotty Thurman's, or Keith Smarts.

@Crimsonorblue22 I deleted..lol.

@wissoxfan83 He'll no they weren't dook

@Crimsonorblue22 Forgot to set TIVO. Old age strikes again. At least I'll have the second half.

They have milked that shot pretty dry. I can't believe that it matters to many fans at this point other than Duke fans.

I am wearing my Wisconsin shirt, I was supposed to change out of it for the KU game, but forgot. Should I change now?

@KUSTEVE u r showing your jethro!

This will be a test: can we play a complete game against a very good team?

@wissoxfan83 NOOOOOOOOOO

@wissoxfan83 Or should i just go topless?

@wissoxfan83 no but don't tell us that!👎🙉

@Crimsonorblue22 I could provide pictures

would lve to see uk lose the 1st weekend

@wissoxfan83 upvote for the bad visual...lol.

if we can win the first 4 minutes i will feel confident

@wissoxfan83 do u look like oubre?

Wow, talk about badball. Did you see that UConn-SMU score?

@Bwag and Duke, they did last year

@Crimsonorblue22 Well yes, without the tits, uh tats of course.

@wissoxfan83 SMU won right?

@wissoxfan83 bring it then!

@Crimsonorblue22 No he looks nothing like KO. Trust me.

Shooting a 1000% from FT 4/4 to ISU 50% 2/4...doesn't look though with FT volume it's going to be won-lost there.

@Crimsonorblue22 They showed they're beatable last night.

@Crimsonorblue22

IT said 36-28 with 6 minutes left. in the 2nd half.

@wissoxfan83 typo?

@brooksmd I forgot, Brooks you know me

@Crimsonorblue22 @wissoxfan83 Do we need to turn our heads?

@wissoxfan83 👬you and brooks?

@Bwag thinking so

Sorry brooks

@Crimsonorblue22 Brooks is my all time hero because he got me tickets to the national championship game in 2012. We met for ten minutes at a gas station in Hammond, LA!

@Bwag Would make us much more dangerous if so - I've been as hard as him as anyone this year - still doesn't look pretty when he gets in the paint, but they are going in - which probably gives him more confidence on the Js

@brooksmd Blame da Crown...

All starters back out to begin

Knock m down Frank

Play D

@globaljaybird r u there?

17 points nice!

@Crimsonorblue22 Frog waterproof?

come on!!!!!!!!!!!

jesus frank

@globaljaybird u r?

Lazy - sloppy - we have to match their intensity

@Crimsonorblue22 Nope 80 proof

what is wrong with mari

there goes mushy......

Full TO KU

and there goes the lead

come on guys. remember the first half?

Another round of Woodford Reserve. Hope that helps us get going.

Just changed the shirt

@KUSTEVE There we go - how many times have we seen this movie - other team ratchets it up, we are lackadaisacal, and, boom, lead gone.

@wissoxfan83 Keep da faith

Shit

We are still up by 9

gurantee this becomes a 1 point game soon

and another turnover

Damn

so we left the game at halftime what a joke this is

Frank in da trees again

Foul on?

Morris

Teams burn a lot of energy coming back. They get close, then boom they give up a few and it turns into a comfortable lead again. I predict that here.

it's awful....we're up by 9......

Niang

awful awful

Old Wayne back! Leave before he catches it

and we are quickly reminded why this team is incapable of winning comfortably

Niang sounds like a swear word. Like "O Niang it all, we just blew a 17 point lead"

Game of runs, our turn

4 minutes gone lost 8 points off the lead. if we don't respond and swell it back up they will get the lead

@Crimsonorblue22 gotta say in his jock or he end up w 30

I don't worry until the last minute of the game.

@Crimsonorblue22 FT's ISU 2-4 KU 9-9

Oubre step up

this one is over

@BeddieKU23

It is?

@BeddieKU23 stop that!

Mason step over!

watch

Lotsa steps there...

Perry is at about 60-70%. That's far more concerning than giving up 17-2 run

Bill tell them the game was over?

Mayor doesn't look good

IF it's over that's good, we just won!

@Kip_McSmithers he'll NO

Yeah

BOOYAH....

wow wayne

Seldens dad

Might as well shoot an on balance, open 3 rather than that spin junk from mid-range.

OR those spectacular lob dunks!

What the hell is going on there?

Our ball

Need Greeene

WTH

See the flippn balll

BG..YOU GOTTA HIT THAT SHOT....

we don't have the horses with bg in

Weak side where r u?

Shut the heck up fran

Stop

bad call

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Shut the heck up fran

+2,000

Lil late w/whistle?

If we win it'll b at the line

@Crimsonorblue22

just a little and i apologize for heat of the moment prediction on ending of game

@Crimsonorblue22 It's almost like the stripe waits to see if the ball is going in, then he'll blow his whistle

just when you blow a 17 point lead in 5 minutes you tend to get a bit heated

@BeddieKU23 no neg. Ned's here

They've overtaken us on FG%.

If BG is still in, next one goes in! Naz long has 3?

9-5 on TO's now. Was 5-5 at half

I said we needed to hold them to less than 40 the second half and we were golden. They have 19 in 9 minutes - after 23 in 20 in the first half.

LL

@Bwag No big deal on TO's. We had 9 in first half last night.

Here we go

Lucas has had some smoother moves this game.

we cannot guard the pick and roll this half

I miss danny

@Bwag Ex Lax

Cant guard period this half

There's your 1 pointgame

Wayne!

Big 3 there by Seldon

Selden looks like a star one minute. Then throws it away the next. Then drains a three....

Giddy up go.

Bucket

Bs

UM GOALTEDING

Guessing that call is cause guy didn't have a chance to turn?

how is that not basket interference

If that isn't player control foul, why have that foul?

FTs be the diff

Maybe some justice on the FT's

To fast

Bs

@globaljaybird Yeah but we need to get back to the line. Only 4 pt diff now.

Jump it

@brooksmd make m pay

BG out

get greene out

Holy crap. these officials have completely lost their minds.

See that Higgins?

How can off side ref call that and trailing ref didn't?

@globaljaybird I may have to stand corrected that the game isn't won-lost at FT line. We're still at a 100%.

BS call on the breakaway...just saying.

Epic meltdown. Just as ridiculous as it gets

Bullshit offense there.

not even trying

This is bad ball to a new level

They threw him down!

I would stuff that flag......

Not bad ball because of us. The officials are orchestrating some of this.

no we blew the 17 point lead by quiting on defense

We are throwing iSu the ball too

This just in, the gamblers got to Greene. That's the only explanation for him

@BeddieKU23 We blew 10 points of that 17-pt cushion. The other 7 had some help.

@Kip_McSmithers O is stale need a hi post to get to the middle

you cant play mari or greene the rest of the game they are just turnovers

BG is

i told you guys earlier what was gonna happen

@BeddieKU23 stop

Oubre step up!

Bla bla bla bla

Its just sickening. Its obvious who wants to win this game. And its obvious who will

Great half time preparation. Called our 1st time out w/ 50 seconds left in the 1st half just to use it. Now we're down to one left with 6 minutes left.

@BeddieKU23 You must have a psychic connection with the officials.

14 points in 14 minutes...

sorry guys get ready for next week

@BeddieKU23 so long!

What is Mason doing out there now...

@BeddieKU23 Go ahead

24 point swing? really?

@BeddieKU23 please go! We really don't want to hear that

@BeddieKU23 Who's side are you on?

Get a stop

greene is pathetic

@BeddieKU23 Don't let us keep you if you have something else to do.

I'm out. See you all tomorrow boys and girls

Awful D

I said we needed to hold them to 40 - not gonna happen - even if we had, didn't think we might not score 20

Okay now we can start the second half.

Freakn out of bounds

I'm pretty sure he stepped out.

Officials have gone blind for the real game. take Perry out and save him.

@BeddieKU23 When the buzzer sounds it's over.

What is ISU's prospects in the real dance?

@Bwag I played it back, 2 feet out

We started the half out with 3 FT's, then Selden twice (I thnink) made two lazy passes which led to runouts for them and it was over. We have no killer instinct. Comes with being young I guess but there's no logical reason for this game turning like it has.

@brooksmd Fair weather f's I'm here for da haul !!

Self keeps Ellis in there even though he has been wildly ineffective. Rest the guy.

@JhawkAlum exactly

Lucas

Put them in

Come on dg

Obviously we're still in this game

@Crimsonorblue22 me too.. and yep

Go

@globaljaybird said:

@brooksmd Fair weather f's I'm here for da haul !!

I take offense to this. Gotta pick up my sons friend.

ISU can shoot themselves out if it

Wayne"Hollywood" Seldon sells it.

Go jhawks

If Hunter would wait

Let's steal this game back...!!

why put perry in?

Whooo hoo

Waynes world!

@bskeet offense

Seldon throwing crap in now!!! YES.

@Kip_McSmithers then dont feel bad

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

He's on one leg.. can't jump. Need rebounding.

@Bwag Boy those are some ugly looking "shots" - but hey, that's all we've got right now!

@DCHawker His nice shots all year have missed or rimmed out.

What the heck on call there?

They've been killing us with ORs this half

Graham has been messing up a lot of things in this half.

Terrible execution and a bad break on the knock the ball out of bounds.

Don't need a 3 - take it strong to the bucket

:poop:

Mason killing us

@BeddieKU23 No snark there, huh

Live and die by the layup

I'm really torn on Mason. His PG skills just not there yet. Not sur ehow I'd feel if he'd hit taht layup?

SO now we go into the dance 5-4 in our last 9 games.

He likes the quick 3...brilliant...there are 4.1 seconds left.

driving layups into the trees: fools gold

@wissoxfan83 Yep, just like last year.

I just dont know how much more important the game needs to be. Blowing a 17 pt lead in march is tough to swallow. Especially on some pretty lazy play for a big portion of the second half

Finally Fran says something nice!

Crap. Crap. Crap.

N - O - W

i am leaving.

ISU won't last long if they keep digging holes to climb out of. Their luck will run out soon.

Well - there it is - give up 47 points in a half isn't going to win many games - and they did it without 3s. Probably should have gone to the zone earlier. Until next week.

So what is the implication for the next games/tournament? Does ISU perform better in NCAA to help carry Big 12 weight? Does this make us hungrier or introduce even more doubt into our minds as we go forward.?

Hopefully we can heal up

Coach Hoiberg looks pale

Unfortunately no lead is safe...

@dylans Perry just not strong!

Too true. He's not right.

@brooksmd Would tend to agree, but there is something about them. They only made 2-16 3 pointers - no way on earth I would have thought we would have lost the game, let alone lose a 17 point lead unless they were draining 3s.

@DCHawker Perry! TO's by mason

@Crimsonorblue22 Well people had doubts we'd get past TCU, gave us little chance against Baylor and we almost beat ISU. Yeah, we let'em back in the game but they didn't quit. It's only a 3 game tournament championship for ISU. Meanwhile, we are sole owners of our 11th straight psuedo Big 12 Conference Championship that most thought we would not get. RCJH love da Hawks!

@DCHawker the defense was just so lazy the first 12 minutes of the second half. Im amazed we were even in the game at the end

@brooksmd some of these posters should head to the kusports site to chat if they cant say something decent - then hush up or go there...A loss is not good but is part of being a fan if that's what we really are. then sun still comes up again the next day.

@cragarhawk Well we did start with a 17 point lead

@DCHawker Agreed. I also thought they were living on banana peels with their come back play.

@Bwag true story. And whether its "nice to say" or not. Im,not capable of giving them a pass for lazy play. I can take most anything as a fan. But not another team flat out playing harder and wanting it more

Oubre had only 3 points ... He took the day off ... 2 Rebounds ...

@DCHawker Jesse's insight in pre-game breakdown is that they lead the league in 2pt shot %. Isuppose that's how an Outside-In game can accomplish the same as Inside-Out. It's why you should play to your team's personnel strengths...

Bill Self needs to study Bruce Lee...don't let the forms constrain you.

@cragarhawk u don't think Perry's knee had something to do w/it

@cragarhawk Agree.

@Crimsonorblue22 did it in the first half? Hes one guy. Not 5. Too many guys letting ppl just blow by them not even trying early in the second

So why do the NC teams seem to always have home area advantage in the post season tournaments?

@Bwag Good point - the Mayor countered the perimeter pressure by taking our guys off the dribble - Self didn't counter back with the zone look until after the lead was gone

@cragarhawk he wasn't limping in the first half. No excuses

@wissoxfan83 Damm damm damm

@cragarhawk Yep we do have a couple that need D work. Greene primarily and Mari. Next year I do believe we will have one of the best backcourts in college ball with Mason and Graham.

pulling for Notre Dame now...not due to the passion of the year's immediately following the last coaching change, just NC has home "court" advantage and is too close to us in all time wins.

@Bwag nd could shove us off the 2 seed

@brooksmd we really need for Mason to improve his PG skills. He doesn't make the pass when and where it needs to be consistently and with accuracy. Off center a little and the receiver needs to adjust and loses any advantage he could have had as the defense adjusts. He doesn't hit trailers on breaks consistently and then too often still drives to shoot versus drive to pass.

@Crimsonorblue22 didn't consider that.

@Bwag agreee

@brooksmd we've seen them all play great D though at times. It just looked lazy to me. Or maybe tired. I don't know. But it was obvious who wanted the win more to me. And that's the part that stink . You can take getting beat. As a fan you know it's gonna happen sometime . But like that? That's tough

Looks like Lawrence hi lost

@Bwag Or does Graham take on more PG duties next year...not there yet, but makes me wonder how that plays out.

We need a 5, Bragg will help. He's a 4 though. If oubre leaves, although today proves he should stay, we need an athletic wing

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

KO is gone no matter how much you wish otherwise. Lock for a lotto pick = big cash.

You can still drool over him while he's in the league ;)

@Kip_McSmithers ok!! Just wishful thinking, not the drooling over him, but think he could vastly improve. Not consistent, and poor w/rt hand.
