🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Sorry I'm late. Had KP duty. Wake and LSU long, so we started yet?

Come on Wake. I want Simmons to wish he'd gone to a real bb school.

@brooksmd yeah 7-4 Hawks early...

@brooksmd me too!

These guys r better than I thought

@Crimsonorblue22 We start runnin' that big guy will be suckin wind real quick.

@Crimsonorblue22 UC is goin small now Davis says a 7'2" guy is comin in ...LOL

Joined late. Looking at the stats, Mickelson is filling up his line:

1 RB, 2 Steals, 1 Block, 1 TO and 1 PF. but 0-2 from the floor.

@Bwag Takin a seat now for Bragg

@globaljaybird just saw that.

Bragg gotta have that!

@globaljaybird two dumps into him under the basket mishandled.

Congrats to Danny for a good win.

Why did Seldon pass up the 3 for a drive in amongst the trees?

LOL, ESPNU broadcast about 4 minutes behind stream.

Dang it

UC with a 9-2 run

💩 they can't miss

@Crimsonorblue22 You should've said "they can't miss :poop:

Guys playing a little too confident so far

Weird game!

@BeddieKU23 I think we r playing like wussies!

@Crimsonorblue22 wierd team

@Crimsonorblue22 HCBS already raggin the ref's

Nice fro, Kevin would be envious

@Crimsonorblue22 hey, do you have a link to the game

@KUSTEVE Can you stream ESPN?

@brooksmd if i have to...

@KUSTEVE That's where I was watching before the Wake game ended.

dagger

@KUSTEVE no, sorry!

All day!

@brooksmd Lot of stupid mistakes.

Good d!

@Crimsonorblue22 or bad O

hate espn 3

@KUSTEVE espnu

Marmaduke doesn't move very well

Why is Perry not shooting from FT line there? No let's drive into the humungous guy.

Guess he doesn't have to on a catch that close

man we are looking sluggish in this half. I liked the early blocks though. We need to find a way to hit our damn FTs

Strange group of players, can't figure them out.

@Bwag Perry has that all game!

@Crimsonorblue22 me either. These guys have got to know how good they are when they play with energy. Why are they so afraid to access it?

@HawkInMizery Our FT D is excellent.

Watching from a hotel in Cookeville Tennessee on my way to a cabin in the smoky mountains. Ugly

We had more energy it looked to me with Hunter out there.

Perry scared?

WOW, LL can jump.

@DanR Hows da weather down there?

@brooksmd lets work on our FT offense

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@Bwag Perry has that all game!

Why does he insist in driving closer to the D for a contested 2pt shot versus an open midrange shot?

@globaljaybird 60 degrees. Better than Lawrence was this morning!

@DanR what r u doing there?

@Crimsonorblue22 watching the game with my wife and dog in a hotel. Cabin for the next 4 nights

Perry took the shot that time from the FT line; missed, but got his rebound. I think he'll hit that more than not.

@DanR have to drive that far to get game?

@DanR All 10 flood gates open at Table Rock earlier today. gates open at Beaver, & 10" rain in Springfield----Taneycomo is floodin like all hell.

http://bransontrilakesnews.com/news_free/article_2a05eaf0-acc0-11e5-97fe-c30ed456d1ad.html ↗

Brother!

@globaljaybird I was in monett Missouri during the 12 inch deluge saturday

Much better!

Guard the Greek guy

@DanR Table Rock is supposed to crest at 935.6 ft-highest ever. 20 ft over normal pool level.

Why does the KU kid still have his ugly KU Christmas sweater on?

First team to 60 may win this one... It's damn ugly Roosevelt !

@Crimsonorblue22 He's livin the dream...

Crappy end

@Crimsonorblue22 Still got almost 4 minutes left on ESPNU broadcast. I may go back to streaming.

Why the hell is LL shooting a 3?

Perry - 1 point. Wayne - 2 points. Any questions?

@Crimsonorblue22 They gotta quit drivin into the trees & nail some shots to start the 2nd half-get these footers back on their heels & suckin some wind-then we'll pull away a little.

what an ugly end to the half. LL had no business being out there beyond the arc

@HawkInMizery BG screwed up the play w/crappy pass, no TO's?

Good stats page:

http://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=108923&a=1 ↗

Move the damn ball and play some D!

Just got home....only a 2-point lead ! WTF ? Wha happen ?

@Crimsonorblue22 that's true, we need to play a much cleaner game in the next half. We started out so good and then just s**** the bed.

looks like we got a wake up call during halftime!

Wussies got a talking to!

@nwhawkfan soft playing

How bout an 8-0 run? That's what I'm talkin about !

Mick wit da steal again

It's nice when coach Self finally decides to give the guys a few things that will work. Just a few. He doesn't want to spoil them.

Nice Selden!!

@globaljaybird Just starting 2nd half here.

Sweet passing, run run run

damn that was pretty by Selden, Graham, and Mickelson

@brooksmd youre 4 min behind near as I can tell...

These are the 5. Rotate in intermittently as needed.

@Bwag works for me...

Looks like I got back just in time for the 2nd-half buttkicking....after HCBS did the same to our guys in the locker room.

watching espn3 is like watching a charlie chaplin movie, and i've got 75 mbs speed, which should be plenty fast enough to watch the damn game

@Bwag gotta work some guys in though!

@nwhawkfan Probably said they were gonna run till HE gets tired...of watching them run!

@KUSTEVE ESPN3 is a joke sometimes. I have 1000mbps speed and half the time the connection looks like butt.

I still say that Hunter M brings more energy throughout the game. JT is over-rated as an energy guy- it comes in spurts with him - HM seems much more consistent with tips, steals etc. and there are times where he's there ready to clean up when not needed.

Not a huge mick fan, fouling machine

@Bwag too much energy there. Go to the bench HM with PF #4

44-30 when HM comes out and LL in.

@Bwag he's got more game savvy too-knows how to set screens vs a zone without moving

That was poor d on our end

@KUSTEVE Got Samsung phone and tv and tried mirroring from phone so as not to be so far behind but too much shadowing. So just suffering with being 4 minutes behind. At least I know what to look for by the posts on here.

@brooksmd i'll break down and add espnu to sling tv...this is ridiculous

T'd that joker up-yeaaah!

Hunter looks like a point guArd next to Marmaduke

Turner t'd up after his big guy gets his first PFcalled, doesn't seem smart.

Will we ever play anyone remotely like this team?

Damn how long was Marmaduke in da lane then ?

Landen looks like a 2 guard on Marmaduke.

I know ya'll already saw but that was a sweet baseline drive for Selden.

@Bwag said:

Turner t'd up after his big guy gets his first PFcalled, doesn't seem smart.

unless just got the PF call on LL as a result

Marmaduke with a Wilt finger roll

All night - mid-range Perry

And then the basket and foul for Mick.

@brooksmd that was yesterday!😉

@jaybate-1.0 Gotta double Marmaduke & make him pass out of it-don't think he's able

glad Perry made that but why not just go straight up to the bucket instead of trying to get cute?

@Crimsonorblue22 I know but that's the best input I have. Blame ESPNU or that clown of an AD we have.

Anteaters hanging around by their tongues, but we separated again.

@brooksmd ok

Perry is great goin to the right but the left is like no mans land...

Lucas, shocker!

@jaybate-1.0 Gene Simmons would dig it.

Damn Selden almost got that!

If UCI just ran some old Casio Ed cutters by the UCI centers they could be in this game. Just a terrible passing team.

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@brooksmd that was yesterday!😉

That's mean...rubbing it in on brooksmd.

@jaybate-1.0 I been thinkin that the entire game...PP coach IMO...

@Bwag he knows I love him!😍

@HawkInMizery said:

My wife made the same comment.

Sparty was getting their ass kicked by Iowa tonigght

@Bwag at least he's manning up this half!

@KUSTEVE was?

BG's turn!

where did this version of LL come from? nice stick back!

Damn ll, off the floor

WTH is LL eatin tonight ?

@globaljaybird my son said he usually misses 90% of those😱

@Crimsonorblue22 He's right...

I thought dunking was against Landen's religion.

Now he has new God!!!

Damn Shazamm LL says feed me !!!

💩how many dunks has ll have? A record!

another dunk with some authority. did we fall into a worm hole at halftime? some alternate universe where we have a big who's willing to put his nuts on someone's forehead?

Phantom call on Greene there looked like to me.

@HawkInMizery I love it!

@Crimsonorblue22 Remember...first team to 60...

Svi looking good on d

@globaljaybird uness there is a meltdown of epic proportions that will be us!

@Crimsonorblue22 me too! Why can't we always play this aggressive? If we did we would steam roll everyone.

@jaybate-1.0 Hell I didn't think he could get up that high.

@Bwag check your score when Hunter went out.

@HawkInMizery Honestly. UC not playin much team D...few block outs, rotations.etc. Also lead footed bigs...JMO of course.

@brooksmd who did?

Need to work diallo in now

@globaljaybird well that's true but our energy level this half doesn't hurt any

@Crimsonorblue22 I didn't think LL could get up high enough to dunk.

Perry is like a smore: soft but sweet.

@HawkInMizery Mucho improved...

@jaybate-1.0 perfect analogy. That play where he spun instead of going straight up epitomizes that.

@globaljaybird I haven't thought too highly of their O or D. Our guys were just totally out of sync the first half.

Well. BG just nailed the winner...

Concerned diallo not looking very good!

@globaljaybird There ya go. First to 60 wins. Can we celebrate now?

I'll drink to that...Mr @brooksmd !!

@HawkInMizery

Yes, why is he still spinning at all at this age?

Wow...Sparty in deep doodoo.

Bragg and Diallo getting no time so far this half. Neither showed much in their limited time in first half. Wondering if they'll get some meaningful minutes here now. with a 18 point lead

It will be nice when we play OU...number 1 vs. number 2....

@jaybate-1.0 I gotta admit, I wonder about that myself ????????

@jaybate-1.0 no idea! so frustrating to watch. apparently he needs some lessons from LL's new playbook

@Bwag I'm torn about that!

@nwhawkfan they are getting taken to the woodshed. Goes to show how much Valentine means to that team

@KUSTEVE but they still don't have DW

LL must've had 2 bowls of Wheaties this morning.

One thing I will say in favor of Perry's macho: he doesn't wear any girlie man lingerie!!!!

@Crimsonorblue22 they get a loss whether dw is there or not...

@brooksmd u mean yesterday?

@jaybate-1.0 lol...

BG, the driving machine?!?!

@KUSTEVE I was gonna say that, but I'm afraid to look past Saturday...gotta get past Baylor.

Walked!

@nwhawkfan It's ok for us to look past opponents, as long as the team doesn't

LL should always start when we play 7"6" guys

At least 6 inches of Marmadukes height is in his forehead.

Greene 5/7 from FT line...all but 2 of his 7 points. Go figure.

@jaybate-1.0 ha ha

@Crimsonorblue22 Just gotta rub it in don't ya? You and @globaljaybird were my choice to sit beside me around the fire. But you may lose your seat.

Ref was screened out on that call.

@brooksmd I'd like to watch the day of the game!

U will have to come here!

@Crimsonorblue22 Technical. Go to the bench.

BOOYAH...Mr SELDEN >>>>>>

Not much action for our frosh bigs tonight huh

@cragarhawk they played poorly in a tight first half. Coach is letting the vets carry us to the win though i am surprised they aren't in now given the lead.

@HawkInMizery exacly. Give them time now...not with 1 minute left.

I'm going to Baylor and OU game! Can't wait! Baylor looked good today

@Crimsonorblue22 they won't look good when you see them...

@HawkInMizery I hear ya. It's the ole catch 22 ya know? Like trying to get your first job. "I see you have no experience" "yes sir so far no one will hire me cause I have no experience" but we still want to win every game

@Crimsonorblue22 lucky! I'd love to go to the OU game on Monday. Unfortunately for me I just reupped on my Royals season tickets :(

@KUSTEVE hope not!

@Bwag yeah they should have been in a couple mins ago and doesn't look as if they are coming in anytime soon they have their warmups on

Some guy name freeman had a bunch of 3's. He new?

Vick sighting!

I know nobody wants to hear it but ya have to wonder what that does for recruiting...

@cragarhawk that's exactly what it is!

@cragarhawk but crap, what do u do? Heard diallo hasn't been going hard at practice either. Ncaa didn't help him

We were committed to getting pass low into Diallo on this possession

i see Cheick has been working on his free throws

@Bwag said:

Vick sighting!

For 3!

nice transition 3 by Vick!

I like Vick! @brooksmd you will see it at midnight

Marmaduke goes out. I guess we're not ants...

@globaljaybird Tell @Crimsonorblue22 to quit picking on me.

Kind of a subdued Rock Chalk Chant...

@Crimsonorblue22 ya I don't have all the answers. I just know we're out of early season games to get players experience now. All I'm saying is next years top recruits see that this year's top recruits that came here aren't getting what you might call meaningful minutes. Not to mention that the kids aren't gonna be ready to play when it really does matter. But what do I know. Perhaps they haven't earned it

50-27 for 2nd half.

50 in a half is good. Reminder of the '88

@cragarhawk I know! We do have wiggs, Embiid , Ben Mac and Oubre's doing better.

And on to 2016. Everybody got big New Year's Eve/Day plans ?

Tx down 2 to Uconn at home with 27 sec

Good response in the 2nd half by the Hawks against a pretty game UC Irvine team.

@Bwag Chieck got about 2.4 "meaningful minutes"...

@Bwag said:

Tx down 2 to Uconn at home with 27 sec

Down 4 now with Uconn at the line...UT going down.

just switched over to the MSU team and no sure i agree with the overrated chant the Iowa faithful are spewing out. Kinda stupid. This is the one situation where i support court storming. Taking down the number one team in the country and you're unranked,

@globaljaybird had to be fairly efficient for only 2.4 min. Lol

@HawkInMizery seems to be an epidemic that has infected all teams in Iowa.

@HawkInMizery said:

So Iowa fans in general...ISU & Univ of Iowa both stupid then.

@nwhawkfan Hoping the boys bring out some more Tannerite:boom: :sparkles: :boom: !!!

@cragarhawk Bragg's not a OAD, but hoping diallo will catch up. I'm blaming ncaa. I just don't think it's fair to upperclassmen to sit when they r playing good. Tough call I agree!

@Bwag good one!

Hey @brooksmd we won the game!

@globaljaybird Tannerite is fun! I made a 10 pound bomb over the summer and shot it from about 100 yards. It was amazing.

@HawkInMizery Tannerite?

@Bwag yeahhhhhhh pretty much but what can you expect they dont have much else to talk about up there except for corn. I'm sure that gets old they need something to make themselves feel better.

@Crimsonorblue22 God is gonna get you for this.

@Crimsonorblue22 its not about fair to me. It's about who is going to take us further in the end. Whoever that is or how long they've been here... Which is coach's decision. Not mine :)

@nwhawkfan it's explosive targets. Way more fun than regular targets. You need a rifle to make it explode. I have a slo mo video of me shooting the target, it's pretty awesome.

@HawkInMizery any broken limbs?

@Crimsonorblue22 haha na i was far enough away. the video i took is pretty cool, though after that trip i did forget i had ammo in my back pack and a month or so later almost got arrested at the airport in STL ha!

@HawkInMizery Sounds fun. My New Year's Eve is a little more subdued...pizza, shoot off a few Roman candles & bottle rockets, and watch the big Space Needle fireworks at midnight on TV. Then a big brunch at friends' house the next day.

@HawkInMizery I meant the iowa game!😬

@Crimsonorblue22 haha whoops i thought you were referring to my tannerite post. no broken limbs or trouble from what I could see. Looks like Iowa was pretty well prepared and the students came down in a controlled manner away from the handshake lines.

This first half of this game seemed reminiscent of the WUG teams we faced and how we got back to basics in the second by not being intimidated by the other players. And of course a good ass chewing by Coach at half. ROCK CHALK!

Lagerald hit a 3. Guess it wasn't mono.

UCONN beat UT.

@nwhawkfan yeah my NYE won't be very exciting. That shooting trip was a few months ago. I just don't get the point of going out and spending a bunch of money on NYE especially when i'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks.

@HawkInMizery I usually avoid going out on NYE and St. Paddy's Day. Amateur night...

So unless my vision is failing me... Ellis led the game in rebounds. And scoring. But rebounds....

Diallo 6 and 2 in limited minutes. 4/4 from the line. But 3 fouls

@brooksmd hopefully @wissoxfan83 made it back ok. Lots of flooding.

@cragarhawk said:

So unless my vision is failing me... Ellis led the game in rebounds. And scoring. But rebounds....

yes, and 1 more RB and it would have been a double-double.

@Crimsonorblue22 That's a long drive to make in a day in good weather. And he probably didn't get on the road by 6 AM like he wanted.

@cragarhawk A little surprised that anyone could outrebound Ndiaje.

@cragarhawk Davis just said Perry had 14 pts 9 reb but I missed BS on the post game when I took Rascal out to whiz...so need to go to stat sheet to confirm. Baylor game on CBS Sat at 3:00 pm. Have to work so I'll miss the chat but will be back for OU on Big Monday . You guys need to hold the fort & get a big W for us then...11 in a row works for me... Norm on now so need to go...

@nwhawkfan and I'm sorry. Especially Ellis. Who is a fine player. No question. But not known for rebounding or playing what I'd call "above the rim". It's nice to see that out of him

@nwhawkfan how many minutes did he have? They didn't miss many shots first half

@cragarhawk selfs been on Perry and Wayne to get on the boards!

Rico will be a huge task on Sat - Baylors leading reb & maybe scorer too... I like to watch Drew squirm & rant so the DVR is et.

@globaljaybird do u know baylors freeman? He hit a bunch of 3's

Well. off to have a late bite. Thanks as always you guys...

HAWK-Y NEW YEAR EVERYBODY !!!!!!!!!!

@brooksmd u watchin Lsu TT game?

@Crimsonorblue22 Yep, saw lots of flooding but not on the road thankfully. Just got home so we missed the game. Was going to watch on ESPN3 as I didn't know the score, but it forwarded to the end for some reason, so I just saw we must have played much better in the 2nd half.

@wissoxfan83 bet u r glad to be home!🙏

@Crimsonorblue22 Yep, I-55 was closed down in Jackson, MS. Cost us about an hour, which added to the normal length of 14 hours, made for a long day.

@Bwag Gone...now Bevo with 4 losses

@globaljaybird Cam Ridley update:

Shaka Smart says that Cam Ridley will likely be out eight to 10 weeks following Tuesday's foot surgery.

FYI - We play them at Austin at the start of the 9th week.

@Crimsonorblue22
I remember we recruited Freeman pretty hard.

@DanR Branson flooding link to pics...What a mess - Hope you're high & dryin the Smokies. Happy New Year down there in Tennessee!
