@Crimsonorblue22

She's currently barking! She's a doll tho

Its all tied up 0-0 atm.

Im popping pop corn.

@VailHawk southern, visiting some cousins in West Covina.

@Eric

Coolio

MESSAGE TO ESPNU: WTF??

Ummm, how come E60 is on?

So I'm not the only poor bastard not getting the game

@bskeet

This is touching but isn't there supposed to be a basketball game on now?!?!?!

ARGH.

Anybody check espn3?

Same problem, couldn't be more annoyed

@brooksmd swimming

Not on ESPN3 either..

Must be a game before went long?

Game is being played we r up 4-0

nope game already started

Sonova B. Same problem here too. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Stats showing up on the website?

4-0 KU and I dont have the feed on ESPN like i had hoped as everyone else

What is going on with this?

6-5 KU

selden lucas ellis out

Ugh.. I was looking forward to this game all day.

8-6, latest is espn is working on the issue

I'm on hold w/them

I'm also on hold with them

@Eric

every jayhawk fan feels this pain right now

Is it the same gym as the Chile game?

@Eric no

a lot of layups so far, serbia matching buckets inside.. hunter just scored. outside shooting horrific so far 0-5 i think

Anyone who thought the coverage couldn't get worse was obviously wrong.

10-10

10-10 tie 3:06 in the 1st Q

Ain't nothing on ESPN website except Kensucky fans now have their own dating website. If you date your sister why do you need a website?

It is pretty funny watching ESPNU on Twitter getting lit up.

ESPN needs to rethink that intern program with Mizzou grads.

serbia up 14-12

From Twitter: Talked with someone over at ESPNU. Gwangju's TV compound which isn't ESPN affiliated is not sending a signal at this time. #kubball

From other site

@Eric I hope so. If I did twitter I'd be saying something.

@bskeet

PHOF!

Somehow, ESPN is able to cover sports globally-- like x-games, tennis, you name it.. But a basketball game from South Korea is a bit too much to ask.

@Jayrawks1 Seems we hear "it's somebody else's fault" an awfully lot.

apparently its a fiber issue in bristol now. great cover job espn

@bskeet Funny you can watch the 2012 KU/Fizzoo game on ESPN3 right now.

maybe Nike put the word out.

mason has 6 points after 1st quarter

I'm still in hold.

If it's a technical problem one would think they would scroll the info.

On!!!

finally!!!!

http://www.gwangju2015.com/IRS/eng/bk/engbk_basketball_results_men_m400_d_10.htm ↗

Finally got the signal and it's on !

Yeah!

great instincts by bragg

Minus the mask

USA!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My 11 kid can YouTube video game trainers to Antarctica but ESPN and their infinite wisdom can't get a damn ball game with hd cameras to work??

Bragg!!!

Yes

Bragg no mask.

@Jayrawks1 they just needed us!

I prefer Bragg playing over JamTray

Let's go hawks!!

Really Lucas?

lucas omg the same issues he's always had

I prefer anyone over lucas

SELDEN!!!!

Shot clock didn't stop the weave that time.

Is there a 3 sec call?

Will Selden still have legs in March?

My god lucas is ham handed

Mari!!!

@VailHawk yes!

if Selden becomes our best player this year, the sky is the limit

Selden

@VailHawk That is the question with him playing nearly the whole game(s) in Korea.

Selden 6pts 2 boards

SIT (statistically Inferior Traylor) very nice pass !
And a rebound... Just sayin..

whatever person got to wayne this spring/summer has put BEAST MODE into him.

@Crimsonorblue22 Well crims-2 wins in da book wit 1 more to go RCJH !!!

@Bosthawk I'm w/u, kinda lonely though!

@Bosthawk

PHOF!!!

@brooksmd North Korea spliced into South Koreas cable so Kim Jong-un could get his b ball fix.

Who does Carlton Bragg remind you of?

bragg has such a smooth shot, going to love that

@Kip_McSmithers He must be lonely cause it's been a long time since Rodman was last there.

22-16 ku lead

Did ESPN just find a crowd mic?

Announcers taking a pee break I guess...

@VailHawk When I saw him glide & handle the rock vs Canada my first thought was a young Danny Manning

New kind of outage for ESPNU. No announcers.

outside shooting is as cold as it gets..

These foreign teams sure love to foul and stop any fast breaks

@bskeet I like that

@VailHawk When the other team is running you into the ground you have to stop play somehow for a breather.

Anyone know any good Serbian jokes?

Bunnies not going in here all of a sudden.

@VailHawk Now Now, that's not PC.

@brooksmd

!image.jpg ↗

our defense already knows their stuff.

@VailHawk Whaddaya they call a pretty woman in Serbia? A visitor...

@globaljaybird u would have one!!

@globaljaybird

Boom!

Like our defense..

@VailHawk I do try to STAY totally FOS !!!

Seldon's superior ball handling there

Selden dribbling👎

Selden shouldn't dribble

@globaljaybird it's hard for you!

Everyone's Bp down now, since we got the game?

@Crimsonorblue22 He's lucky to still be awake. Bet he don't make it past 3rd period.

Nugenix sounds cool

Why isn't Mickelson back in there? Looks like he had a productive 3 minutes.

@globaljaybird Is in the DNA...Damn, Rascal is snoring like a chain saw...I don't have to listen to the announcers !

We've not been very strong with the ball here lately.

@Bwag Perry needs to get tougher in there!

Perry has been MIA for a couple games.

The green shoes are an interesting choice

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah shoulda used a black jack on that last possession...or a sap...

I hate that call

bragg learning his moving screens from mari

Moore sees floor!

@BeddieKU23

Just rewound HORRIBLE call!

@Crimsonorblue22

and a nice pass too

We're not good against the zone. When will that become a point of emphasis for this team?

Mickelson sticks in the close shot on a nice feed from Moore. That was a nice pass.

@VailHawk

i agree but the rules are different every gym you go to

I know there isn't much time between games but I would think as much as KU is seeing zone d that they would work on it a little.

We're a much better team when we are fast and pass quickly.

@bskeet

outside shooting has been cold, they hit a few this game is easily 8-10 points different

Looks like we're shooting 33% from the floor. That's tough.

@VailHawk It's too fast a game for officials too. But at least it's consistently inconsistent

i wonder what the serbian guy did to piss off lucas

Come on Landon

Only the cameras saw Lucas' shove.

Mason has 7, Selden has 6 & Bragg and Hunter have 4 points in this very low scoring affair

I love seeing Jayhawk fans in S. Korea...did they really fly over there or do they live in the Far East already?

@BeddieKU23 Looked like he was holding Lucas' arm in the rebounding scenario.

@bskeet still stupid!

zone = 6 KU 2

We better figure out how to win a half playing against zone.

@VailHawk I wondered that too. Guessing they live there?

@VailHawk Lotsa GI's in Korea.

@brooksmd careful Grampa...

@bskeet we will

What's up with Ellis shooting 17%. He's had mixed results so far in this tournament.

@Bwag

that's what i saw as well but clearly the stripes didn't. these serbian players are comfortable with the fiba rules in what they can reasonably get away with.

@bskeet It takes long distance to bring em outta da zone...If we don't hit we may be in a world of.......chicken doo !!

Has Vick played?

@Bwag Teams are double & tripling him to make someone else beat them. So far we've been able to accomplish that with other guys stepping up.

It looks like we were getting open looks from 3, just missing. Of course we missed a lot!

0-8 is definitely the reason it's a 2 point game. 2nd half would be nice to see a couple 3's get in

@VailHawk yes

2 missed open shots.. yikes

I'll take these announcers over mush and frannie

frank clanked 2 FT's when's the last time that happened

Let's go Jayhawks clap clap clap clap clap!!!

@VailHawk run💨💨💨💨💨

Did they misspell Serbia on their jerseys?

more with a airball man the shooting has to improve

how is there no call for selden there???

Good energy by Mickelson there again.

3!!!

a 3 dropped

Wow selden is getting fouled
My god what bad shooting in general

1 of 12 3's?

mason's expression looked like his wrist is bothering him

is there a completely different rulebook???

Huge amount of contact that refs are letting go

Jamari + ball + dribble = 0

@brooksmd hey!

Refs don't understand basketball...like they're from mizzery

@Bosthawk There was a reference ealier by the announcers that Bragg was called for a hip check for a foul which I didn't see...then JTray got knocked pretty good therer.

Mickelson again.

Mason getting some touch on his shots.

Selden couldn't wouldn't do that last year. what a nasty play

Ref's don't like Moore.

ellis struggling

We're shooting about 28% from the floor...pretty poor.

@BeddieKU23 That's an understatement...

Ellis eat some bad kimchi? 1 0f 10 from the field...

Vick!

we are going to like VIck

Vick where art thou...

Mickelson got his hand on another ball, couldn't control it.

@Bwag Hunter just can't shoot!

We have won each quarter by 1 point.

One more to go.

Lucas being punished ? Where is he?

@Bwag He's not an efficient 2 hand rebounder-tips a lot of ball away from guys with better position.

@bskeet fast game, we need to speed it up

@Bosthawk to slow, u think?

@Bosthawk

i think we benefited from hunter being in on missed shot 2nd chance

@Crimsonorblue22 I'm not buying it...he shot 3 pointers at AR. He's shooting better than Ellis tonight.

@Bosthawk Riding the pine where he belongs.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, past my bedtime...

huge shot from selden

@BeddieKU23 huge

Love bragg

Selden feeling it. Could be big this quarter.

@Crimsonorblue22 That gets him points wit da boss...

@brooksmd We need someone to feel it.

@globaljaybird just lost his pts!

@Crimsonorblue22 sure did...

Bragg's got a lot to learn, but he' ll be good.

crap
This is going to be tight to the wire apparently

that lead went quick, a t/o on the press and a rim out 3 from selden make this game tied again

@Crimsonorblue22 That blow by will get the butt ripped big time...

@globaljaybird and to

@brooksmd Better be-either he or DA Bulldog !!!!

We could sure use Graham getting some PT experience here.

Argh

Need to run that play for someone other than ellis

Opie looks frail vs the monsters...

Foul on Seldon and yellow card on Serbian player there.

Serbia is a bunch of bi$$$$

Crap!!!!!!!!

Terrible help

I prefer we win this game

Ellis please finish

ellis ends the no show

Get the stop...

Ellis looking Carlos boozeresque

Got a bad feeling about this. No spark from us since a couple of those fastbreak and 3 shots, too many missed close ones, not finishing strong.

Opie outta position again...

Nick Moore not doin much

Take us Selden!

Nice camara work he was pickin & she was grinning...

@VailHawk did he cause that steal? Or his he in?

We got this

Mickelson leading shooting% with 10.

Nice pass Mason

Now 12

Glad Mick didn't go pro

Boozer

Perry needs to rb on d

@VailHawk Moore is in for his offense cause he sure is a liability on def being so damn small...

Finally some spark from Ellis. Self must have told him Mickelson was going to start taking his minutes if he didn't get something going.

@globaljaybird

But his offense isn't very good so far

@VailHawk said:

Glad Mick didn't go pro

I see what you're doing there!

Wonder if #15 got those shoes at a Baylor garage sale?

Damn I detest these FT contests...

@brooksmd They are butt-ugly...

We call that over the back in the us

Knocks them in like a boss

Defense please

Run!

@VailHawk Who blocked that?

WOW!!!

wow

@Bwag Hunter.

There's your Moore!

I love Moore!!!

@Bwag hunter

@Bwag Opie

Excellent smithers !

@VailHawk big cahones there

@Crimsonorblue22 Speaking of Moore, my beer is empty.

@VailHawk 1st pts of da game...

@brooksmd ha ha

This is gonna be a gratifying win...like beating TCU

huge shot and block in that sequence.

what a comeback

@globaljaybird like @Vailhawk, I'm glad he didn't go pro

What?

can we close without mason?

@Crimsonorblue22 oh KRAP !!

@Crimsonorblue22 Didn't see that coming.

@BeddieKU23 Will be tough.

hunter has to grab those

Twice hunter has been over the backed

Mick missed that RB it came off the rim so hard.

Shit on fouls Hunter block out! Brother

@Bwag Looked like an intentional miss-OR A BRICK...to me

He was out

moore man

Holy cow...self destruction here.

The non-Jayhawks aren't playing very well

Who's ball

Awful foul calls

@globaljaybird it definitely came off hard.

we had it last tie up

Srb guy moved his feet so much he changed zip codes & no call for da walk...

@globaljaybird guess selfs not trusting vick

i say bring in vick, a situation he can learn in

@Crimsonorblue22 Dubose is slow on D...

Shit

We're up to a smoking 36% shooting. Don't feel good about our zone offense.

Moore thinks he is better than he is

Selden

Unless Seldon can do that a couple more times here.

Huh?

nba selden

What now?

2 shots and the ball?

huge for him to make this front end

So that's an interesting foul...guess it's not a potential breakaway so no "Intentional" call on a wrap up.

Since that was obviously intentional, we get ft's and the ball?

@Crimsonorblue22 Intnl BB sucks...too much like the NBA

Ball game

@Jayrawks1 should be...

Foot in mouth per Selden lol

ft's are too close for selden

Defense fellas

Predicting a steal here

Is this a double header?

Hey @brooksmd We made it all day with no nap...Uh speakin for myself that it...

International teams Def think dif

Guard Pot please

Whooo hooo

Jamari = Bonehead

What the heck...why not grab that. Take the win and run out of the gym.

what a survival, that play felt like Colorado 2 years ago

Yay!

wow.. Too many opportunities given to the Serbs. But it won't haunt us!

@brooksmd selden

Good strategy fouling selden serbia !!!

@Crimsonorblue22 Selden spiked it on the rebound? Then he's a bonehead. Sorry Jamari.

All is well that ends well...

It certainly was an odd final 15 seconds.

We escaped

Nite all!

Love that win, man getting into a game like that in july, heaven

@brooksmd yep

Zone is still our nemesis.

note to Self: Please figure out how to beat zone. We took back our lead when they inexplicably switched to man to man.

@VailHawk who can sleep?

K players should bring applauding the crowd at the end of the game win or lose to afh

What's next?

A good day. Royals take a doubleheader from Tampa and Hawks beating Serbia.

8 pm tmrw Switzerland

KU advances to the next round and is guaranteed to finish in the top 8.

Great experience to come back from 7 down in the fourth quarter to win a close game. This team has a lot of character; Selden and Mason are clearly the top players; Mickelson is also playing well.

Selden is amazing, whole new guy!

@bskeet If you have "ham handed" or small bigs with boxing gloves & can't attack the middle then you have to hit 3's...Bill can't shoot it for them...integrating Diallo into the team should help the former...Selden looks as he's finally developed a consistent long stroke...FT's I don't know yet...

@globaljaybird I'll bet it'll be a cold day in hell before Selden, or any Hawk, spikes the ball again with time on the clock.

@brooksmd That coulda been the dagger pops.

@brooksmd at least he got it pretty far. Maybe he couldn't pull it in? I doubt it!

GN all catch ya on da rebound tomorrow night. Ku goes for the seed & Royals for the sweep. Get out da brooms...

ROCK CHALK Team USA:basketball:

:boom:
:us: :us:

@Crimsonorblue22 seems that way...

Is the Switzerland game televised?

@Jayrawks1 Supposed to be. Hope there is no delay again. 8:00 pm - be there or be square!

@Jayrawks1 all of the rest are, of course they screwed up today

@RockChalkinTexas where u been?

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't have cable so am watching on my Nook and can't comment during watching.
