RCJHKU

Excitement is building.

KU fans reading the paper again. A ___ year tradition?

The Hawk to walk the walk and talk the chalk will be....

Ah...finally found the right thread...

I think Selden's my Hawk to Rock

@wissoxfan83 did u switch?

@Crimsonorblue22 Switch from....?

@wissoxfan83 players

No, I quickly sensed Wayne had the hot hand :)

@wissoxfan83 cheater

This looks more like a top 5 team than last weeks version

Selden was sick

Wiggins had some highlights last night. Had a couple of awesome dunks among his 33 points.

Clicking on all cylinders

@wissoxfan83 I could watch that kid play all pm. Lucky to get a game on espn

I would gander to say this FH St team is a lot worse than the one we played last week.

regardless everything has looked better, made shots make everything look better

@BeddieKU23 I saw a lil of the ft hays vs ksu the other pm

Svi!!

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, got to see his highlights last night. Like I said on the other thread, makes me wonder What Might Have Been. Future MVP?

@Crimsonorblue22

KS st is really going to struggle which is great by my standards

What did Svi do?

@wissoxfan83 3

Wow, you are like a minute ahead of me

Got about a 30 second delay on ESPN3

I'll slow down

That's ok, chat away!

one made and one bad shot

Someone's not blocking out and Mari's not out there!

Anyone have link for online feed? Got a new laptop and lost my chrome ad on

defense is a complete dumpster fire again

Kinnamon kids dad is the mcpherson coach

Guessing we got a bad combo out there

How we lookin tonight?

@TheSundanceKid

If you have ESPN3, that is what some of us are watching. Otherwise I use stream2watch which probably has it.

@Eric

jjust as poor as last time

This game has become really ugly.

@Eric started out good. Soft press

@Crimsonorblue22 Outside shots were falling too.

1 week from tonight we play Michigan State. I think they'll be tougher than these guys.

@wissoxfan83

unless these kids play better when the lights are brighter next tuesday will be a long night

I guess it feels like Korea never happened huh?

Wayne bailed out a bit there now?

@BeddieKU23 they will!

selden has to be the worst shooting guard at FT's ive ever seen

Has Svi showed any improvement from last year?

Okay, much better.

nice sequence of plays, mason with the hustle

Was just about to point out that We look like sh*t and then we had a couple decent plays ...

@Eric d looked better and hit a 3

@Eric
'
not yet honestly, defense is really behind what it needs to be

Did Lucas know he was wide open?

@Crimsonorblue22 lol a 3

Good banter there with Chris Piper about always being open.

Do you think Self really means it when he says PE will play more 3?

@Eric

yes and no, its motivation for selden especially but defensively its not going to help us

@Eric if the wings don't play better, yes. BG hasn't been in. Vick before him

Do we play some Benny Hill music when Perry goes in as a 3?

if anything is noticeable this early, we will have to score way more to be as dominate as we think this team can be. self just doesn't have the toughness on d he wants..

Reminding myself that we looked terrible in exhibition with a couple years ago (wiggins team) and pulled it together to look like an entirely different team beating Duke in Chicago

@DanR That was a great victory that I wished I had toughed it out and stayed up late and watched, but I went to bed. This year, I'm toughing it out!

We've missed a boatload of FT's I think.

Nice passing

@wissoxfan83 my son is going.

@wissoxfan83

wayne missed most, i think 4 as a team

I"m not a basketball technician, but I think giving up wide open 15 footers has got to be really crappy defense.

Oh my!!

Vick is slick

@DanR like him

@Crimsonorblue22 I knew something was coming with your comment!

2 sweet plays

Nice run.

@wissoxfan83 but I didn't give it away

Love love running the floor

I got to see Simmons and LSU play their exhibition the other night. I wish we'd have gotten Simmons!!

!image.jpg ↗

Not sure about Hunter and Lucas together

Anyone think BG is going to get off the pine?

@Crimsonorblue22 socks are who? Graham or Bragg?

@DanR team?

No Greene. Hmmmm

Why did they shoot a T?

Wasn't a T., wissox ..Foul on first of two free throws

!image.jpg ↗ for veterans day socks

@Crimsonorblue22

maybe resting the hip.

most likely did something stupid for the 57th time in his time here

@wissoxfan83 Simmons is an awesome true pt guard, and has size. How's that team look?

OK, in that last pic, crimson, I can see the yellow ribbon on the front of the socks with the jayawk camo on the back. Kind of cool!

@DanR last time I bought some Jayhawk socks was the last mizzou game. I wore them to game and my son said at half to get them off, I did the rest is history. So i told him they had some cool socks this year, he said to just stop!

Danny mannings in the house. Hope Evan gets in.

@Crimsonorblue22 Huh. I changed my shirt with 5 minutes left in that Mizzou game. You're saying that had nothing to do with it?

@Crimsonorblue22 LSU looked good, but they're kind of small despite a 7 footer. That's going to be their downfall I think. They'd be nearly unstoppable if two guys who both averaged 16 and 10 last year hadn't foolishly decided to go pro.

@DanR team work! We r a weird family! Talking mine.

@wissoxfan83 I forgot who went w/Simmons.

Both teams made 4 three-pointers first half. KU 4-9, FHSU 4-14 :laughing:

Dg!

@DanR better

Mari!! Kill someone

Jamari boxed out for once, sort of

@DanR that will be written down w/time

2 bigs bring the ball up the court in two straight possessions leading to two turnovers. Are we reinventing the forward position?

Next time a score

@wissoxfan83

both were worried about simmons taking their spot

@BeddieKU23 Funny, but I saw Simmons playing more of a point forward the other night. His passing was spectacular.

Svi's looking much better

Nice play

Wish we had these announcers all season. They don't sugar coat things

Does anyone have a running box score? What are we doing on our 3's?

Nice pass from Svi to bragg

None of our big guys are blocking out very good

the next 15 bad plays wayne makes are covered by the amount of brownie points he just earned with that hustle

@wissoxfan83

yes his passing is outstanding for his size, dare you say Lebronish for his size

@GaryBedore: Heard from somebody close to Greene his hip locked at recent practice; unable to go tonite; Self can tell media if that's it after the game

That doesn't sound good!

@Crimsonorblue22

not at all, maybe a blessing for Vick to get time and let Greene heal up

@BeddieKU23 medical redshirt?

Sweet!!

@Crimsonorblue22

maybe but he played in exhibition game which calls into question his usage already

Svi!!

3's much better, boards not good

Dang!!!!! Svi!! He's the real deal

Svi with 4 3's

Love the confidence and his D

@Crimsonorblue22

he takes greene's role for set shot shooting.

Free SVI!!!! And Diallo....

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah but remember it's Ft Hays not MSU...

@BeddieKU23 think he's a better team player too

what i take so far, good enough to win Friday without a ton of trouble.

Tuesday I'm not confident we could stop anyone so a hot shooting game would be our savior

@BeddieKU23 whasup with BG?

@globaljaybird I remember Svi making some exhibition 3's last year too.

Didn't our neighbors out west play Fort Hays St last week?

@Crimsonorblue22

totally agree there, his d to me is still a work in progress but the effort is there

@wissoxfan83 don't say that!

@Eric your neighbor! Yes

@BeddieKU23 it's much better than BG's

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't like my neighbors

Hays America needs to get the heck out of the way!

So long BG!

Nasty cut

Svi's hot now!

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah neighbors... If they were kin I'd still treat em like the bastard at a family reunion.

@globaljaybird you would too!😉

@Crimsonorblue22 Ah, you know I'm just woofin...

K-State...more like Nabors than neighbors.

KU vb against Texas tmrw will be really good!

Evan!!!

@DanR happy for him!

Trifecta for Braggg...

We're not going to see much Vick this year if he plays like that.

@wissoxfan83 I hope not, he's green

Svi is POG...

Vick was not playing his position there at the end.

Holy cow, this all starts in earnest Friday. Between us and my other love, I've got about 5 games to watch between now and next Tuesday!

@globaljaybird I agree, my pick had more pts. Anybody pick Svi?

@wissoxfan83 more friends here though!

@wissoxfan83 SO, anyone know why BG didnt play tonight? I thought we played much better than last week. Svi has found his shot. Lights out!

@Crimsonorblue22 i picked svi

Is Greene headed to a Red Shirt Season, injured or in the dog house?

@Jayrawks1 winner winner chicken dinner! On @JRyman

Much better ball movement tonight. We'll see how that works against Michigan State's D.

Posted earlier someone said his hip locked up

@nwhawkfan get one more before them

@Crimsonorblue22 That's good. I think Jessie's chat is tougher to follow & a little slower to post comments. I've always liked our chat feature much better.

Yeah, shouldn't look ahead, but I'm more optimistic about the opener after tonight.

See you guys Friday! Happy Veterans Day, and thanks to all who served.

@JayHawkFanToo Don't know boss-asked that ? myself but no one answered.

@nwhawkfan Thank you. It was an honor.

@brooksmd thanks from me too!!! @globaljaybird too

@globaljaybird hip locked up, don't know if it's true.

A heartfelt thank you to all those who served in the military, have a great Veteran's Day.

BS on radio now. Maybe he'll elaborate...

@brooksmd Hi Brooksie, wondered where you've been all night? I had to start the thread and hoped that it would match up to the high standards you set.

Self says it's the hip & sounds honest-surely it's so.

!image.jpg ↗

@Jayrawks1 pick him next game too!

@wissoxfan83 Son, wife and grandaughter arrived from Australia yesterday to visit through New Years so 2 yr old gdaughter has priority. Especially since it's been a year and a half since we saw her last.

You did a good job and I can't take all the credit as @globaljaybird showed me the ropes.

@globaljaybird medical redshirt?

@Crimsonorblue22 Self said he was fine all week, day, & even pre game shoot around. Said BG told him at tip time it was not working properly so even tho Drs don't think it's a big deal. he held him out as a precaution. Guess we'll find out more Friday. Hey, Esky, Hos, & Perez all won Gold Gloves... not Gordon, prob because he missed 2 months. Still pretty damn impressive.

@Crimsonorblue22 Also my gut feeling is we've a better shot at keeping Zo than keeping Gordo... Prob be 60 - 80 mill for AG & BZ should come in from 45 - 60 mill. BZ is 35 yrs old & AG is younger...abt 32 or so. Love to have them both, but unless they can free up that appx 12 mill they still owe Infante, is not as likely.

@globaljaybird still have royals on my mind!

@globaljaybird zobrist is a much better hitter

@brooksmd I wouldn't watch an inning of basketball in that circumstance either!

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes & also a good person. Not to say Omar is not, but BZ was a good fit for the team also. Need to say GN &hit the shower myself girl. Don't know what to expect on the home front tomorrow & may have to hit the road early. Take care.

@globaljaybird where's your brother from?
