Let's get the game blog going.

We lost the opening tip AGAIN. @Jesse-Newell what are we to make of that?

This may be a stat buster game. Jamari with at least 2 blocks already it looked like.

@Bwag Svi -3 filling in nicely

So did Svi start over Seldon?

@Bwag no, went in for him

I like how we're playing outside in. Looking for the 3 often. And I was pretty chapped about us losing that opening tip again too. How many inches did Traylor have on that guy, 3??

@Crimsonorblue22 Guess I missed the substitution

UGH

That inbounds play looked familiar.

The old pick the picker inbound

Time Warner decided to no show Friday so no watching for me again!

Hunter in already. Svi an early sub. What's going on?

Self subbing for a 3 game in 3 day tournament, or bending to pressure?

D sucks

@Eric-san espnu?

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't have a current cable subscription to stream yet.

Nice pass

@Bwag But, Hunter gets the quick hook. Self didn't like defense and foul on on the play, so he get's yanked. Remarkably how short a leash some guys are on compared to others.

Won't go into specifics but I just had to bail my brother out from jail an hour ago. What a terrible experience.
Are the Jayhawks looking good at least?

@Eric-san 18-16

Bragg looking sharp on offense. Just needs to pick up his D.

Lots of fouls

lots of subs

@Bwag
Closer than I imagined.

Wayne came to play

Well... on second thought...

First 10 minutes - 9 players have been in the game.

selden lighting it up against east popcorn state.

@DCHawker If he had defensive breakdown, I'm good with subs as long as he doesn't sit indefinitely now. Rotate folks in and keep everyone fresh.

Guess my question is the pt rotation because of a change in thought or do to tournament play that will go away when regular season schedule kicks in.

Hunter is too tall obviously

Ugly game, lazy passes, not getting out

Lucas the last big in the rotation tonight.

Nice ball movement Svi!

10 players in 1st 10 minutes.

Heard on the radio Ku is 5-8 from 3s?
FOOLS GOLD?!

@Bwag Alas, I think it's only because it's Chaminade and he expects an easy win and everyone will get minutes. We"ll see the next two games...

Have not seen "The Weave" run at all so far either. Really liking some of the adjustments i'm seeing so far but can't get too excited about it, Self plays this way against lesser opponents but when its a tougher game he tightens up and resorts to bad ball.

Too bad no one in the Big 12 will ever leave Svi that open.

Lids off for BG!

Early fouls for Mason means that Svi should be in for most of the rest of the 1st half.

65% shooting

66.7% from 3

Dg!!!

11 assists on 13 baskets.

What's their 3% ?

Dg w/awesome steal and finish!

3 of 5 starters have 3 RB each and Jamari has the least at 1 with Graham having 2 already.

Lucas has 4

Why is Jamari starting?

Man this sounds like an exciting game to watch.

@Bwag he had a few blocks

Are we going to win?

@Eric-san don't think it proves anything due to the talent differential.

@Crimsonorblue22 He did...I think I called that out at the time.

@Bwag
Wasn't the spread for this game like -29?

@Crimsonorblue22 3 blocks total and he has 2 of them. Guess that's good. Still not sure that this game will mean anything from a stat perspective due to the mismatch in talent.

Are the bigs dunking the ball at least?

Coaching a bball team in Hawaii must be a pretty tough gig.

@Bwag And size. They are very small - biggest guy is about 6-7 200.

@wissoxfan83 Too soon to tell. :laughing:

Mason - 11

Seldon - 10

Svi = 9

Ellis - 6

Bragg's d not good, yet

Did I hear Danny and WF knocked off Indy and Tom Crybaby?

@wissoxfan83 yes, tight game pulled it out in the end.

@wissoxfan83 Yes - 1 point game. But, Simmons is the real deal.

I just got up from the dinner table, we had some friends here, so I haven't seen much of our game, but it's pretty dull so far. I wonder if coaches would rather play a more stout opponent than Chaminade?

@Crimsonorblue22 Agreed. But, he could/should be our best scoring option by the end of the year if he gets regular minutes. Can score low and from 18 ft.

Chaminade packing the paint and daring us to shoot from the perimeter........BG would have had a career high.

@wissoxfan83 Yeah, don't know what we'll learn from this: Neither from a player ability to play perspective, or from a Coaching philosophy perspective.

where was this wayne selden last week?

Refs missing a lot of travels

@jaycon11

Same guy here tonite. Just not playing against MSU's defense.

@jaycon11 Playing against a D-1 team...

Sweet finish

Would have been fun to see Cheick get his first minutes against Chaminade......

@jaycon11

Or it could be his fresh haircut!

@SoftballDad2011 Love the full court press by Self and KU Admin on the NCAA. Sounds like some other schools may be rallying to the cause.

Would be interesting if some shoe contract analysis could be performed @jaybate-1.0

@Bwag

He's been working on a post in the I wonder thread for a long time......will be interesting to see what he came up with.

Selden's got to bottle this for tomorrow and Wednesday

@Bwag

We deferred till 2nd half?

Dg!

Holy cow Landon Lucas!!

Is that Mason's 2nd airball 3?

@wissoxfan83 yep just what we said.

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't know what just what we said means?

Breaking News.......Lucas converts on two bunnies.

Have we ever seen that? Or is it cause they r 6 6

@wissoxfan83 son and I said same thing, 2 airballs

Did everyone go to bed at half time? Seems warranted perhaps.

Nice and all to open it up a bit offensively, but what is up with our defense. 12 points in the second half in 4 minutes. We give up a LOT of 2nd half points to too many teams.

@Bwag I want to see next game too

@Crimsonorblue22 Gotcha!

Nice remark Fran! What an ah

@Crimsonorblue22

IDK but the second one had a pretty high degree of difficulty.

Rebounds:

Lucas 8

Ellis 6

Seldon/Mason with 6 each

Nice pass

Glorified practice at this point. Probably not even that with the talent discrepancy.

We can make a lot of threes when there is no defense and we are waiting for the pass with our feet already set.

Good for Svi and Dg to see ball go in though

@Crimsonorblue22 Who' s favored? We play the winner, correct?

@Bwag I'd guess UCLA.

Looks like Louisville will be the favorite to play in the final of the tournament.

Nice look Mari!

Hunter gets on the board

Do their uni's remind you of anything?

Last years ugly tournament unis

@DanR bingo, free trip to Maui

Svi looking nice

Hunter makes another bunny...then good huslte.

BG better get his lipped zipped for sure!

Svi 5/10 for 3.

@Bwag Not quite the 5/5 of Greene

Offense looks more settled down with hunter in there

@DanR bucket list! This year would have been awesome w/Danny's team there too. Guess I better pay my bills off first, but some day.....

Yeah, not much to take away from this game:

61.7% shooting

52% 3 pt shooting

@Bwag but better d and passing

So, Perry is getting minutes at the 3 as Self promised - Carlton and Hunter in at same time.

@Crimsonorblue22 perhaps....Greene was showing some good hustle....

And Selden at the point.

@DCHawker Not sure we can take any indication of rotation change of mind from tonight....Self had played 10 players in the first 10 minutes and then we pulled away.

who had good defense?

@Bwag Believe, I'm definitely NOT taking anything away from this game with regard to rotation. Will believe in change when/if it happens against a quality opponent in a close game....

Hunter 4/4 from the field.

@Bwag Maybe 5/5 now with a chance for a 3 pt play from the line....I know, not sure we can take any stats from this game.

@Bwag but Hunter is covering all the statistical categories....just not sure what his minutes are at this point.

Svi growing up!

Landon L with 11 RB's

@Bwag Chaminade shooting 34% from the field

Awesome for Evan and dad! So proud of Danny manning!

Good night...Tomorrow may reveal more than a 50 point win will

@Bwag tmrw will be tough. Think diallo will be eligible tmrw?

@Crimsonorblue22

We've waited so many days weeks and months to hear he's eligible so i say whay should tomorrow be any different?

@wissoxfan83 hopeful I guess

Bill Self alluded that they had heard from the NCAA.....but not an answer......just that they were still working on it..........during his post game interview 9on ESPN u

LandEn Lucas. Wayne SeldEn. These are players who have been here for a while. Come on guys.
