Anybody gonna talk tonite?

Sure!

Hunter lost the tip again.

@tundrahok Thought I gonna have to talk to myself. Good to see Hunter start again.

@brooksmd Yes, hope he scores some points tonight.

Hi all!

@brooksmd hey, how's it going? Texas looking good.

@tundrahok There ya go.

@Crimsonorblue22 i was rooting for Roy.

@brooksmd Excellent. My feed is about a minute behind.

Not lookin' like the HC game so far.

But good D.

Geez talk about running the clock out?

@Crimsonorblue22 All I saw was the winning hoop. Worked the range today.

@tundrahok hunter won the tip against holy cross

@Eric-san @DoubleDD @DanR Got a few so far tonite. Welcome

@DanR I didn't actually see it myself, but I thought somebody on the chat said he didn't get it.

Should have had a steal there

@tundrahok holy cross had a guard jump for the tip. Weird

Good way to bust a zone

How does Oregon state have three 6-10 players plus a seven footer

Selden got his hops.

Definitely not the team that played HC so far. BG needs to nail a 3 to show the boys how it's done and get it started.

@brooksmd Sorry, what's HC? I'm bad with initials

Soccer flop

@tundrahok holy cross

@Crimsonorblue22 thanks! I'm a little slow.

BG that was dumb.

Greene is a dumbass though

Man BG must be a strong man just send that player flying with just a little half shove.

@tundrahok I'm the worst at initials.

@DanR the only way he can play d.

Mickelson had 4 rebounds, 3 points, a block and a steal in 4 minutes. Decent production.

@tundrahok but 2 fouls?

@Crimsonorblue22 One foul and a turnover.

Trying to get home to watch the game. Forgot how bad Chicago traffic is.

@Eric-san So far you haven't missed much.

Wayne playing?

Man play in the paint sucks as usual.

Same ol same ol - missed bunnies. Perry will not/cannot dunk unless he gets a running start...

@Crimsonorblue22 8 minutes, 2 pts.

Not exactly lighting up the 3's either

Perry needs to break a defenders arm on the rim. Everyone knows he avoids contact now

Good rebound there!

@Crimsonorblue22 Boys are gonna need their reserve shorts after the chewing they're gonna get at half-time. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the locker room.

@DanR he needs to dunk!

God I miss TRob. They have to change the rims after all the dunks he would already have.

Bad Ball to the rescue!!!!

Here come the Hawks!!!

9-0 run...needed that, but can't come back out of TO flat.

Kansas FG 6-17, 3's 0-2, and FT 6-9

You could read Bill's lips..."Blow the f---ing whistle!" And then he broke his watch.

Wayne Tinkle is going to make OSU a force in a few years!

I like the nuisance press

Tinkle is hurting us!

Somebody always finds their 3 shot against us. Geez.

@Crimsonorblue22 Time to smother him...he's going to shoot the three till he starts missing.

Bad Ball! Is so beautiful when nothing else works!!!

Throws ugly!

Ugly shooting

Sweet

Guard that SOB

Bragg doesn't know BAD

Don't lob it in to LL.

What is Landon's vertical - about 2 and 1/2 inches????

Need to be holding him when he Tinkles.

@DCHawker I'm 60+ and my vertical is better on bad knees.

Now Tinks is playing some Bad Ball.

Man, just put perry on the bench for this game

Guard Tinkle!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone tell osu about fools gold

KU behind the 8 ball!!!

@DanR No defensive effort at all by Perry

Don't be fooled but that was nothing but fools gold. Wonder why KU has only shot 2 3's all night? Think maybe coach should run something to get our 3 machine up and going.

Well I was gonna wait til half to wash dinner dishes. Nothing to see here so I'll be back after the half. Hope coach puts Hunter back in.

@brooksmd He was producing and Lucas and Traylor have done nothing....

Why is Tinkle even catching the damn ball...really guys, the old saying need to be in his jock strap

@DCHawker perry 's offense isn't too good either. Looks fatigued

Time for another run and how about we hit some FT's.

@DanR What excuse does he have to be tired? Not wearing himself out in this game.

Tinks is the PNW equivalent of Self meeting the Mayor the first time. He hasn't seen what Tinks is running. It's all this junk they ran in the Euro pro leagues probably. It's clear he and the guys have no clue what to do with it

Matador D by BG there....

KU not liking this match up zone at all

Free throws are pitiful

That was pitiful Payton splitting BG and WS

BG keeps getting beat baseline instead of funneling center!

@DanR As is outside shooting, as is defense....

But they played well against HC, guys!

Not many bright spots in the first half , but we're still in striking range

All KU players had hands on they knees there. What the heck.

Hey KU just made sports center.

See the damn ball

Payton is about to eat Frank alive. Time to help Frank or go junk zone.

This might have been a good game for brannen's last suspension

And we've all been arguing over performance against Harvard/Holy Cross...

Other than Selden...nothing much...

Tres tinkle?

We r playing a good team tonight

Took Diallo's head off

They are much tougher so far

KU is just making Oregon look good...

Wow not looking good. KU needs to get out and run.

Man, Self is going to register on the Richter Scale shortly

@jaybate-1.0 We've had our hands on our knees at breaks in the action

I think we will win this. Got the bad half out of the way!

On my way! just saw the score. Is this really happening?

@jaybate-1.0 Maybe tonite, but they've played and beaten nobody this year - and lost to Valpo.

@Bwag

That's worrying me too!!

8/15 from FT line...some of those would have helped.

This looks like the 2nd round of the ncaa tourney where we stop playing..

This game will be a nice reality check

Are we playing in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament?

@Bwag

It's the wrong kind of team to shoot back to our average against. They like smash mouth!

@DanR

Nothing short of a miracle will turn this around

OSU shooting 70% from 3pt land...fools gold 7/10 and 75% from FT

It's simple. If OSU stays this hot, we are dead meat. They are like we were against THE CROSS.

But they probably won't. But trust me. KU is going to get roughed up like they haven't been since last season. There will be blood!

Our shooting...ridiculous 9/24 37% and 2/7 28% from 3pt.

If I calculated correctly 41% from 2 point...not sure how many of those would be considered inside the paint, but that's PITIFUL.

3 tinkles hurting us

We have got to come out ready for trench warfare! Going to be brutal!!!!

We have got to come out ready for trench warfare! Going to be brutal!!!!

Halftime: OSU just wants it more. They have gotten to all of the loose balls. Missed FTs are killing us....again. Obviously, Trinkle is killing us also.
2nd half: play the guys that hustle the most.

First half of this game is reminiscent of the second v Mich. St.

Can Coach Self re-instate Greene's suspension?

wow... glanced over at kusports and those guys are even more doom and gloom than you all are. Seriously, you think we're out of this after one half of playing like total sh*t?

@DanR Not necessarily. Gonna have to get after it though and guard Tinkle...we needed a defender that was so close that he was still holding Tinkle during halftime as he tinkled.

Ellis, Traylor and Lucas - 1-7 from the field, no FTs, 2 RBs, 2 TOs, 4 missed at the rim, no blocks - not going to win with that kind of production from our "bigs".

I'm blaming Miles Simon.

@Bwag tinkle will probably go 0-4 next half then stop shooting.

@DanR

No. KU has the horses to come back...whether they will do it, I don't know...

Hunter, sweet looking shot there.

Selden is now tinkling

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Selden is now tinkling

I hope he has a steady stream...

Awful d by ellis

nice challenge by Hunter and then rebound by PE.

Need stops

DG that was sweeeeet

Tinkle everywhere

some defense would come handy...

@JayHawkFanToo yeah - they are shooting better than 50% and too many open looks and easy drives to the rim.

@DanR No I don't give up, just frustrated with the caliber of play. We are much better than that.

I'm 5!

We have 4 points off the bench. Not great.

The freshmen Tinkle schooled the upperclassmen.

Here we go

HOW SWEET IT IS!!!

Selden for the tie......BOOM

Finally!

Up to 44% 3Pt...

@Bwag All Wayne.

@Bwag said:

Up to 44% 3Pt...

Keep chuckin' em! We barely have an inside game.

Self cracked. Did you see all that action and screening in the lane by KU!!! Good for Bill.

Kansas FG 51%, 3's 44% FT 59%

@tundrahok Yep

Press worked

We are shooting 89% this half.

@tundrahok said:

We are shooting 89% this half.

Amen

Anybody think we need to play the frosh?

WOOHOO!!!

@tundrahok said:

@Bwag All Wayne.

Now Ellis broke the barrier too.

Beautiful kick out by Hunter

Rockin' an Chalkin' now.

@Bwag Yep, my feed finally caught up to you!

LET US EMBRACE THE FOOL'S GOLD!

Tinkle shoulda roughed us up quick. Lucky us!

Glad to see you negative Nancy's are back on board

Oregon out of time outs...

Final time out?

For the record, the press is helping! They broke it once but we haven't backed it off completely. Like that.

Love that we full court pressed all 5 there even after we've gone up!

@DanR neds

@DanR

Good call

Hunter really showing why he should be a starter.

@DanR

Tinkle still schooled us, there there's no Negative Nancy about it.

Push off...no way announcer

Let's see that again

Amazing how making a few makes everyone look better

Jr grabbed Dg too

This team has the press instinct ... Smells blood in the water

@Bwag said:

Push off...no way announcer

Then Gary Payton grabbed DG after he'd been picked.

Now OSU doesn't know what's happening and Self saved his junk till second half so Tinks couldn't adjust.

Mick taking treys ?

We still haven't subbed this half?

Getting stupid

@jaybate-1.0 said:

Mick taking treys ?

He apparently was doing that at AR....not sure that's what we need though, huh?

I believe those are lawn mower abrasions on Perry's ass!

@Bwag Not now, not from him.

Is this the longest since HCBS substituted someone?

Nice pass

@Crimsonorblue22 Don't know how Frank got that ball to CB.

Tinkle weak

That bounce pass in traffic across the lane...surprised that got through but wow for the CB dunk.

How do u spell OFFENSIVE ADJUSTMENTS at half??

@jaybate-1.0 self

@jaybate-1.0 said:

How do u spell OFFENSIVE ADJUSTMENTS at half??

Self tell them to start hitting their shots now?

Fronting our bigs ... Just drive and dish

@jaybate-1.0 B_U_T_T C_H_E_W_I_N_G

@brooksmd The announcers were right, it's all about effort. Good things happen when you try hard.

The half time tune up worked...hitting on all cylinders now...

@brooksmd

ROYAL ARSE MASTICATION!!!!

@jaybate-1.0 I'll be interested to hear what exactly the adjustment was. We've hit more of our 3's 3/4..

Got to keep the foot on the pedal

@DanR Be interesting to see how it goes now that we're subbing.

Way to stick w/it bragg

CB!

Bragg makes it happen there.

Need to get a zone O going ...that wasn't very pretty otherwise.

Bragg goes up quickly

Wow, KU is doing this with baseline action

That was SWEET.

@Bwag Bragg for Mick is only one so far.

Charge!

Offensive foul? If so, #4.

That was a charge...

@JayHawkFanToo said:

That was a charge...

Guess we were both wrong...

Frank owed Gary one and gave him a sweet little shove there

@Bwag

Nope, the ref was... :)

Welcome to Self Ball Gary

Another O RB for Bragg

No time outs for Oregon, game will go fast.

Perry boarding better

Wow

Graham gets a good 3 pt shot and hits it.

Dg!

CB with the assist to DG.

Beavers shooting back to average with a vengeance

@jaybate-1.0

Regression to the mean...

Tinks, welcome to Self Ball

Nice

Have we found our rotation?

Bragg getting it. Team player.

so....this is how they get a time out...

Bye Tingle!

@JayHawkFanToo And, we're progressing to the mean....

Tinkle weak?

I like this half better than last half.

Tinkle is more like a trickle

Perry Ellis and Hunter Mickelson 6 RB each

@tundrahok me too! Anyone give up?

Game is back to being fun...

Tinks thought he had Bill with the Euro junk, but Bill sand bagged till half and rolled out the baseline action the second half....and Tinks can't figure it out!!!

@DanR r u 5 too? Tinkle just to good to pass on

Anyone miss Traylor or Lucas???

@DCHawker sometimes I do.

Bragg has looked his best this half.

@DCHawker Who?

Sweet

Bragg is even banging onto his spot

Cherry picking?

@DanR there u go! Perry hurting somebody!

Now Tinks' kid is going to get a taste of Self Ball

These announcers watched us before? We r an unselfish team

Payton getting whistles...

@Crimsonorblue22 hurt me

I completely misjudged Tink. Thought sure he would turn it into an abbatoir

@DanR I can't stop the tinkle jokes

Impressive ball movement this half, and I'm not talking about the nut shot

@jaybate-1.0 Word of the day?

Damn! Kill him ah!

Bragg is turning into a mauler. I love it!

That's more like what I expected

We need to pick up energy again.

perry having a soft attack

Payton is playing a little dirty there.

Tinkle weak stream

Is Tinkle done tinkling?

Does big tink tinkle more than lil tink?

46-22 in the second half so far...

@Crimsonorblue22 Let me tink about that.

@brooksmd 💩 u cracked me up! To much tinkle

Everyone on OSU been taking lumps this half. This is the best under the radar cheap shotting I have ever seen KU do the last two seasons

Selden's 4th foul.

What's lil in Spanish?

How was that body on Hunter not a foul...Mick was out of the play there.

Love the 3 pt by Seldon

Everything's going r way!

Wayne liking that corner

Pequeno

that is a BS foul...

@Bwag Selden, no o

@DanR instead of tres tinkle he will be called pequeno tinkle

@jaybate-1.0 I hope so...KU couldn't buy a call fist half, Not even after the replay clearly showed Bill screaming at the ref "blow your effin whistle!"

Half a century this half...

OSU down to 50% from 3pt,

KU up to nearly 44%

@globaljaybird

Yea, Self took off the gloves this time. Good for Bill.

Let's try diallo again

57% from FT and falling

@jaybate-1.0 Frank is becoming a master at drawing the foul. I love it.

This KU team will not take plunking laying down this season. The guys appear to be trAined now.

Hunter 2 blocks there but to naught.

Hunter with 2 blocks on that one?

@brooksmd Perry was in on one too

Take THAT Andy Krapz, er, Andy Katz!

Time to tinkle?

@jaybate-1.0 💩

54 point second half...I LIKE IT!!!

Oregon St scores 28 in the 2nd...

We pressed, and they came down from some ridiculously high shooting %'s in the 2nd.

No Greene in the second half

That was the Bill shake that said don't ever try that shizzle on us again. There's more where that came from, Tinks.

@DanR Whole lot of others didn't get to play either in 2nd.

Have we found our primary rotation?

@DanR He had a couple of screw-ups first half; turnover and a stupid foul.

@Bwag

If it ain't broke...don't fix it...

Loved the pressing early in the second half

I think ESPN stats is shorting Hunter. I'm sure he had more than 2 blocks and 1 steal.

better yet...if you can't fix it, don't break it...

@DanR

No Svi either.

@brooksmd statbroadcast had the same. They are usually spot on.

@JayHawkFanToo said:

@Bwag

If it ain't broke...don't fix it...

So the main change was Mickelson...looking at his stat line, he filled up all the categories with something...not the highest in any of them but I think that speaks to his "energy". I like his type of energy, it meets the eye test and the stat test.

3/5 (0-1) 7 pts (1/1 FT) 6 RB, 1 Assist, 2 Blocks, 1 steal. On the negative side 1 TO and 3 PF.

Yes he has some breakdowns, but more than the other bigs at this point, he seems at times to recover from some of those and redeems them. (Not in the instance of the 4 point play the other night).

Good night everybody...hopefully not too much diatribe tomorrow. :) :) :)

@tundrahok My view must be like that of the refs. What I thought was, wasn't.

@brooksmd Thanks everyone for keeping me company tonite. RCJH!

@brooksmd They're showing 2 Blocks 1 Steal...did he have more...I think he got two blocks just before they all came out on one possession, but OSU scored anyway. I just don't know if he had any before hand. I thought he had 1 previously.

I still can't put my finger on what all the muddle was in the first half other than they shot ridiculously well and we played a lot of people and no one seemed to be able to really stop it defensively nor get us out of a rut offensively other than a few short runs.

@Bwag think Perry got one of those

@brooksmd WTG KU. Rock Chalk!

@Bwag next game it will be different guys that show up, that's the nice thing about this group. If You r not on somebody will be

@Crimsonorblue22 They recorded a block for Mick at 1:28; no blocks for Perry in the game.

@tundrahok did u think he got one?

Perry played a lot harder. Loving the sharing the ball, not sticking, moving nicely!! Loving the press and running the floor!

@Crimsonorblue22 I didn't really see it....sometimes I'm too slow switching between the blog, stats & the game!

Coach tinkle said they lost their urgency! Sorry

And the dam broke

So what do u guys think of diallo?

@Crimsonorblue22 He could have used the first five games. Hopefully he will catch up soon.

@KansasComet some complain he needs to play thru it, but we would lose.

@brooksmd Sorry I wasn't much company last night. Asked the little lady for a date to go down to Sprint but she wasn't up to it. Also Sat night is the only night with tv we watch together for any length of time-RFDTV; Presleys Country Jubilee, Ray Stevens Nashville, Daily & Vincent, & Larry's Country Diner. Some time you should check out all the videos Ray Stevens has on YouTube. Some of his humorous musical videos are just brilliantly witty & hilarious. I did have the game on in PIP & witnessed how tremendously awful our perimeter defense stunk the place up in the first half. When Tinkle hit his 4th trey I came outta the chair-& the 5th, I went for the refresher. I was damn sure ready to sit Perry for a long friggin time. When LL, Mick, & Bragg stepped up I was happy as a puppy with 2 peckers. I swear sometimes napalm couldn't light a fire under Perry's ass. Reminds me of my kids when they were adolescents & we needed help with chores at home...so much for that boss. Anyway thanks for posting the thread. It didn't go unnoticed.

@globaljaybird Not a problem. I agree with you on Hunter and Bragg, but you could've left off LL. But you keep taking care of your bride as she's far more important than chattin' with us. And don't get me started on gettin' kids to do chores. I'll tell you about the one who joined the army cause he was tired of people telling him what to do. Then moved back home after 2 yrs of a 4 yr hitch, free room and board, cable tv and private phone in his room, and moved out after I gave him an ultimatum to either mow the back yard (normal city lot and self propelled mower) or find another roof to live under. If I'd known that's all I had to say I would've done it years earlier. Now you need to fix your bride a nice midwest Sunday dinner. And if you find a puppy with 2 peckers take a photo cause I wanna see it to believe it.

:beers: my friend.

@Crimsonorblue22 Too much talent there to let ride the pine. He needs PT.
