Wife graduated from IU! House divided. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!!!!!!'

First game in 21 years crazy!!!

Jacque Vaughn 3 to beat IU is loudest I've ever heard AFH in person

@VailHawk Have they said when the KU game will start after this one is over?

@brooksmd

Haven't heard yet. Usually at least 20 min, right?

@VailHawk What I was thinking to give teams a chance to shoot around and warm up.

@brooksmd

This reminds me of big Monday games when big east teams go to OT tied 45-45

@VailHawk

God how hate those old Big East games. Man those guys would starting fouling down 16 with 10 minutes on the clock. Just killed me.

Speaking of overtime Tum just hit a miracle 3 to tie the game.

@BShark

Argh!!!

@BShark

Maybe they should just call it a tie?

YES@! ALLEN!

First time in history I'm happy with UofA / Stumpy win!!!!!

What's the choice of beverage tonight?

Mine.

@jaybate-1.0

Stumpy comes through!!!!

HIDE YO KIDZ!!

@DoubleDD

!IMG_0567.JPG ↗

Ready for this to tippppp.

I was born in Indiana. Lived there for 3 months... Lived in Maryland in 1987. As a 13 y/o I watched Danny Manning and the Miracles defeat Darth Vader, and became a fan for life at that point. I am from Colorado and graduated from Colorado State University. Somehow and some way I live in LFK. I should be torn. < Not really.

I'm in favor of a KU win.

@dynomitehawk

You're a true hero

Stumpy finally has a guard.

Here we go. Inside out.

I also think that Tyshawn Taylor should run against any district that Chelsea Clinton is given in NY.

@jaybate-1.0

HCBS's hair is lookin good this year!!!

@DoubleDD !vanilla.jpg ↗

's is probably not correct, JB. ;p

HERE WE GO BOYS.

I would throw a chair.

Let's Geaux Jayhawks

Very pretty

D3!!

JJ Shall be know as Dynomite. Offenders will be prosecuted.

CB!

Wow

Hello there Bragg.

Carlton needed that.

Needed that one too.

Ticky tack fouls

Have had a couple of quick triggers.

I really think KU can start the season 2-0.

But had players that could not go pro..

You can't compare UCLA and KU Other than its actually more remarkable in today's era.

Well boys be ready for small ball. Self doing it in a real game.

So many fouls.

And so real Ball starts!!!

@VailHawk be careful friend lol

IU is triple teaming Landen on the glass!

Texas up 3 to incarnate word with 52 seconds left

Good job on the boards thus far, need to run some offense tho

@approxinfinity said:

Texas up 3 to incarnate word with 52 seconds left

Shaka sooooo good.

Has anyone gotten rough yet?

So far I like how this game is going. Indiana getting some looks, but KU looking good offensively as well.

@dynomitehawk welcome to LFK, dynamite. On my second tour in Lawrence 6 years each time

Ratso in black✔️

@BShark it's pretty insane. Smh

Really ESPN? Reduce the screen so we can see Izzo?

Too bad Doke didn't throw that down.

With Carlton playing well we feel extremely deep.

With all these stove pipe hair cuts everyone might only be 5-9

Better step up the perimeter D we knew they shoot 3s come on,

@brooksmd Been searchin for Courvoisier, but alas E & J is by my side...

Puffiest team in history, JB. Greatest Fro on Earth.

Everything but the finish for Josh. Indiana only shooting threes tonight? Jeez.

Doka no foul loca

Live by the three

We should be close to bonus.

@dynomitehawk

PHOF

KU already in the bonus.

Son of a gun, we are.

My annual rant. They need to put # of team fouls on the screen. It's important info.

Luke's hair is 7-2!!!!!

crean wearing a long sleeve sweater in Hawaii?

Stone hands there Landen.

bad hands but good hustle to get teh tie up.

Great energy from Carlton and Lucas so far

@dynomitehawk Even LL with the classic nappy look...be proud say it loud... Godfather of soul...

Lucas has buttered popcorn finger syndrome.

Looks like Luke's got some support inside that left pontoon

That jump ball is the exact play DG fouled out on in the Villanova game. Still hacked off about it.

@wissox My rant....your avatar is ugly.

Crean is starting to look like Roy.. baptist minister shiny metal framed glasses and orange tan

@brooksmd I"m new here, give me a minute to change it!

Everyone on our team is named Honor. BIG FAMILY the Honor's are!

Frank's hair is 6-5

Butter or humidity, Lucas?

@wissox My bad. I thought you were a new version of old wissox what's his face.

Lucas or Bragg should've had that. Need to tighten up perimeter D and we will be in good shape.

Lucas needs to work on catching the ball two dunks he should've had

@DanR Not sure if you watched the previous game, but there was slipping happening in that game too.

@brooksmd Lucas liking like the old one

Like a steady rain. It won't be long before IU is KU soaked.

@jaybate-1.0 6 inches of hair might get Frank into the league. Plays 6-3 anyway

Hey yo Landen
!link text ↗

@DanR

True, true

Not stopping Josh in transition.

Mason leading team in rebounding

I'm in favor of sitting LL and playing JJ!!!

Bad defensive footwork by Josh before that drive on him

Landen just worked over Bryant inside...

Dunk the dang thing

Jacksons jumper looks exactly like his layup

JJ scored, now he's talking. I hear he's really good at talking.

@Bwag said:

Mason leading team in rebounding

Jason Kidd level guard rebounder.

Josh is good but his concentration on fundies wavers

@approxinfinity Maybe but looks like he's a tad more conservative with his hair color... or maybe my TV's are adjusted to the non Elvis tint. But that's a nice historical reference about EP's contribution to the PH Memorial...

That was an awesome block by JJ. He probably was talking about that too.

Ugh rebounding

Josh is a little faint around the big guys down low

@jaybate-1.0 First REAL game as a frosh vs a powerhouse on primetime Nat TV first weekend of season??? I'll live with it...

Spoke too soon on the glass

Nice pass from Josh too bad Svi missed.

We can't grab the ball in any traffic

JJ two pretty quick hooks tonight.

Oh shit Graham

I think Carlton should grow a beard and maybe get some tats. That and about +20 lbs is what he's going to look like in the league

Don't like DG grabbing his string

@wissox Hooks or breathers?

comical rebounding

IU is bailing us out with stupid uncontrolled tips. Are they afraid of our bigs' D?Credit th D, Self thrive on that type of refusal...

We're getting killed on the glass...we never rebounded, got the ball cause they knocked it out

Doke looks like a Big Boy locomotive from WWII.

Takes awhile to get the mass moving but once it starts there is no stopping it!!!!

Crean got to much sun

crean looks itchy

@jaybate-1.0 And, it looks like HCBS had a few extra beers the offseason....

Hack him jj

@brooksmd Not sure. He was very active and then gets put on the bench, but then brought back in shortly thereafter.

Jackson needs to come out

Our slender jumpin' Jays are starting to feel the effects of Big 10 banging now

@approxinfinity Yeah but Self thrives on resistance stands like that so I credit the D...

Silly errors keep costing us points. Had a chance to put them away but too many tipped passes, missed rebounds, etc.

@Bwag See nabove...

@wissox That last time he didn't do anything wrong with the pass out to Svi.

I guess KU forgot how to drive the ball. I hate to say it but give me some bad ball.

@kjayhawks Svi I think is playing better D

@approxinfinity Did not mean to edit your post- my mistake.... sorry

Josh is useless so far

@DoubleDD need to spread the floor, drive and kick, and look inside

@DoubleDD

YES!!! Bad ball is best offense for Hawaii

Now that sailor was wearing some proper AOR-2 camouflage

@globaljaybird no worries man.

There we go Frank. Drive it all day

Free throws greatly improved from the exhibitions.

We need some uniforms out of that stuff when we go into Manhattan!

When was the chain invented? Kind of fascinated by that big ship tether and never thought about it before

LL!

Luke, ya gotta shoot to get the foul

balanced scoring

@DanR 225 BC

Prior shot fake is imperative that close by LL......re: Coach Knight

I have better post moves than LL

Vick could get a steady job as a pipecleaner with those legs

@brooksmd thx!

Can't over help and give up threes

@kjayhawks I'm tougher

@DanR If you trust Wiki

Way to get on the floor and keep the play alive Landen

I think JOSH came to KU, because Vick's legs would make Josh's legs look bigger!

Bryant is dominating our "bigs"

Got to start making threes and guard the perimeter

@kjayhawks Really ?? Somehow I must have to :smiley: question that claim ...

Too easy, not making them pay what so ever for 8 turnovers

That looked like a jump ball

These guys need a talk from Kevin Young. It's going to be a long season if they don't start climbing up the backs of guys for boards.

Really need to put bodies on their guys. Not rocket science

How did all the recruiting services whiff on Anunoby?

JamTray sub for LL?

I think Graham just got screwed on that call. Never saw the replay up close, but his body language said a lot.

@chriz wtf ...?

@approxinfinity Because it was

Are backdoor cuts and lobs not on the menu tonight?

@globaljaybird My thought too but wasn't gonna say anything.

Could use a little less cutaways of Tom cream sweating in long sleeve shirt in 808 state

pfffffft refs, count that shit

Frank is just a man among boys out there

@jaybate-1.0 said:

Frank is just a man among boys out there

I love Frank.

Mason game mvp

Great sequence there

Bragg finally got a rebound.

We need to end the half strong!

Svi has gotta grow a pipe!

Svi

UKRAINMAKER

Can't afford to wait until the tournament for LL to the tournament LL. Come on kid. You are the big man

@jaybate-1.0 As we speak!

Nice run!!!!

Glad we're hitting our free throws

Jay is all over our junk tonight. Digging it. This is what EC media bias feels like . Could get used to this!

Svi is kicking some ass

Great boards

The first basketball run of the year!

Some nice want to out there!

@autohawk said:

Great boards

Starting to get a few now

11-0 run in one minute. Smart decisions, Brag, UA and Svi rebounding and mason driving. I like it

@chriz said:

Glad we're hitting our free throws

The thing about exhibitions is that you have everyone playing which drags down ft%. When it's Frank and Graham at the line, I'm confident.

@approxinfinity same here!

@Crimsonorblue22 makes the biggest difference

@BShark Nice nickname if it wasn't so damn long.

Bragg with first board, LL only with 2

Doke almost dunked that bad pass too, lol without jumping

OK maybe not such a good Idea to run with KU ???

@brooksmd said:

@BShark Nice nickname if it wasn't so damn long.

Just Svi is easier for sure, but Ukrainmaker is hilarious and fun.

@kjayhawks Mason our best rebounder 2 yrs running... minimum...

@brooksmd Such analysis is simply amazing, right? Been lookin for Mitch's folks but am confined to the guest BR tonight on a 32" Bravia & cannot see the crowd that well. ... but clearly, BY CHOICE !!

@DoubleDD I vote YES

Great to see a sample of what we are capable of.

Music no longer enough for Blake. Gwen takes commercials to provide for

Bragg having the type of game I was hoping for. Had a nice hook shot also

@cragarhawk said:

@kjayhawks Mason our best rebounder 2 yrs running... minimum...

I heard Frank was bit by a poisonous snake and the snake died.

Bryant is a tough sob.

Doke got a B1G face smash

Dammit we gotta rebound...

Brag still funking

Next practice Mason puts on a rebounding clinic for the bigs. Must happen

BULLSHIT CALL

svi

Deeeeep!

attaboy Ukrainmaker

They can't review that?

Sveeeeet

Me neither- we're old but not blind...

@brooksmd said:

They can't review that?

Apparently not. Svi with a great contest to make the kid pull back. Robbed by the refs.

Sucked!

After a call like that. Promise ya @kjayhawks is bout to chestbump and official

Bragg had his man in the air and didn't take him

Bill due in feb?

These refs guys...

That's twice we were denied the and one!

Also. BAH GAWD KING, THAT's LIGHTFOOT'S MUSIC

Indiana is gonna have some kids foul out methinks.

Let's see what Mitch can do!

Boy HCBS gonna chew some butt for not getting back.

Refs only reason we aint up 10

@BShark You would think - but we had Bryant with 2 with 10 minutes to go and we're not paying him/them pay...

@Crimsonorblue22 Ya know me to not whine abt the refs, but they're costing us a few points right now, however I still think we win by min 10 pts... but re: one's good as :100:

@kjayhawks not the only... poor transition d. And dammit were not blocking out... miss FTS. Not moving the ball well enough often enough..

Not good D from Mitch, but it was in transition

This game kind of feels like we're losing.

@DanR ouch he got bumped out the lane and blown by. Unfortunate spot opportunity for Mitch

Well, our bigs suck so far.

Lightfoot with the worst defense I've seen in over 40 years (I'm only 28 )

@wissox Nah, it just feels like we can play a lot better!

Rebounding not terrible, but too many brain farts defensively. Should be up 10. Bryant and Anunoby are good practice for our big guys against Duke

@cragarhawk said:

@kjayhawks not the only... poor transition d. And dammit were not blocking out... miss FTS. Not moving the ball well enough often enough..

16-20 at the line. Hard to expect better especially when Udoka took two of them.

I thought u could look at a play w/2 mins to go? Huh?

@chriz I wouldn't say suck, they just need to body up Bryant on the glass

@wissox no way... it's attrition - always///

@BShark well dammit that's 4 more pts we could have!! Hehe

Losing on the glass 21-18 and let up 10 offensive boards, if we clean that up we will win going away.

Rebounding looks even statistically but that's because we are making more shots than them.

@kjayhawks anyone w/3 fouls, either team?

@kjayhawks Agreed - outshot them 52 to 39% - just way too many second chance points.

@cragarhawk Def not only but a shit stretch of 3 or 4 missed calls for IU benefit

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@kjayhawks anyone w/3 fouls, either team?

Don't think so. Indiana has 5 kids with 2.

@kjayhawks what are you drunk?!?!? 😁

@HawkChamp said:

@chriz I wouldn't say suck, they just need to body up Bryant on the glass

Kid has a motor that does not slow down.

I say hit the afterburners and let this KU team fly. It's seems that's what they do best.

Udoka moves about as fast as my grandmother whos dead FU

@kjayhawks Kenneth.... not cool

Dang Seth just called us k state! Ah

Bryant looks green out there and we aren't making them pay for poor decisions. Landen looks weak. I'd like to see more Udoka. And maybe wings double down and rip from Bryant. Challenge him. If we can keep slashing on O we should be able to foul them out. Also would like to see us open up the playbook a bit. Our offensive narrative seems very limited. I think adding some lobs might help 2nd half if theyre expecting to take some charges on our drives.

@BShark he is a tough matchup for anybody. They won't have to face anyone like him all year.

@kjayhawks

Whoa my man. Udoka may look like a man but he's still a boy. I mean he can't even declare next year because he's to young.

@Crimsonorblue22 Grounds for dismissal

@approxinfinity I just started to type about half that. Agree!

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Dang Seth just called us k state! Ah

Fire him I say.

@HawkChamp said:

@BShark he is a tough matchup for anybody. They won't have to face anyone like him all year.

Kentucky will be a challenge inside.

@kjayhawks Since you uniquely qualified yourself & your level of expertise for us, we won't use a grain of salt for your further commentary, we'll use a block & then try not to respond......

So what adjustments will Crean make?

Different shirt?

@cragarhawk 16-20 for 80% on FT

@globaljaybird For?

@brooksmd now That's a sweet stat!

@DanR they can't run with us. Cream will try to slow it

@BShark you're right - except for that one guy from Kentucky that reminds me of Julius Randle.

@cragarhawk said:

@DanR they can't run with us. Cream will try to slow it

I don't think that is in Crean's DNA.

@DanR

PHOF!!! You're in mid-season posting form

@DanR Darker hair dye ...

@BShark I never liked Crean, so glad we didn't hire him

@kjayhawks said:

@BShark I never liked Crean, so glad we didn't hire him

AMEN

@BShark

Man screw UK. We'll worry about them when they play us. Besides in reality they have under achieved with all that talent they row out.

@BShark you will see. Listen to Cragar. Cragar he is good. Cragar he is wise... 😉

@kjayhawks plus 1 million

@Crimsonorblue22 All of our starters except LL (0) have 2 fouls.

@globaljaybird at this point in life, I've quit making hair jokes

@DanR Funny and I agree

Who is this Mason Jr. I keep hearing about?

I wonder if Crean remembers losing by 41 points in the 2nd half of a final four game against KU?

@KansasComet Would that be franks Dad? lol

@KansasComet One hell of a player.

@DanR I should at my age too, but both my 40 yr old boys have less so I'm still talkin the walk....

JJ looked a step slow on D. Needs to get tougher. This is good for him though

@wissox I was there and it was great.

There's a lot of IU fans who would love to show Crean the door, even after their Big1G championship last year.

We are getting killed on the offensive glass.

@HawkChamp true story. And KUdoka looked jittery. To be expected. They will get it

@wissox Pepperidge Farm does

Let me just say this now and get it out of my system...I love LL and wish we had someone Self trusted enough to play in front of him all year. But he'll probably play big minutes all year and I hope he contributes to a national championship. If he plays big minutes and we flame out early I'm gonna blame him & Self.

!image.jpeg ↗

@kjayhawks I'll like your response if you tell me what that means!

@brooksmd So Mason's dad is playing?

@kjayhawks take your pick of any of your prev 3-4 comments- unless you just failed to qualify with @wissox83 "FU" certification...

@kjayhawks I think you are on to something.

Phone died and had to get to the box to get back into it.

@VailHawk I said last season that LL was not a D1 big... I took it back after he showed he belonged. Problem is ee need him to belong. Now!! All season. No questions asked. He is capable

Embiid scored 25 tonights wrapping up Rookie of the Year honors.

wow Josh yikes

@globaljaybird Lmao ok forgot on one wow

Bryant is a load, but Landen's foot is apparently operable.

More first half stats (box score)
!Screenshot 2016-11-11 23.08.55.png ↗

@wissox The peppridge farm is reference to old commercial

@approxinfinity

You da man!!! thanks for the box score.

Landen is running on that foot.

Landen is hedging on the foot.

Jackson with the 3 point jack!

@jaybate-1.0 & JJ is still a frosh - yeaaaah!!

Lando d'ing up Bryant lately. Also that was a SOFT call just now.

BS call

@brooksmd agreed!

moisture is coming from crean

Great shot in rhythm by JJ

@DanR Wins the internet today

Another offensive rebound. That's the only stat they're beating us in!

We must be wearing our cleats because we're not slipping much tonight.

Crean should just get down and roll around and mop it up with that shirt of his.

@wissox I wish these guys could play football and not get injured

No trip call there, huh?

Defensive rebounding is killing us

I swear if ESPN reduces the screen once more.....

@wissox Sherron would be sliding on this floor like a louger

Is it just me or does Self look like he put on some weight

Self is 6 months pregnant and hasn't even broken a sweat in his short sleeved white shirt

What the hell wuz dat?

Bill could learn from IU's motion to get 3 pt shooters open without the inside out action. Add it to the toolbox.

Bryant was an idiot not to come to KU.

@DanR Does that mean we've got Self through 2036-2037?

Refs are just bad

Frank has decided its time to foul up the Hoosier on him

Graham true from 3!

Did Self not participate in boot camp?

Bragg is running around like some entity in a new body on the original Star Trek.

Why are we defending the lane like it's fort knox

oh, and Landen, really, learn to handle the ball.

He just is not comfortable yet at this weight.

Uh, didn't touch ll again

Did I mention the ref's were bad...

That Graham Mason show folks, enjoy it while we've got it.

That's our ball Mr. blind official

yeah the phantom calls start coming in.

Forget running a 4 out and 1 in - we should just go with 5 perimeter guys - getting nothing out of our post guys....

LL why does a senior bring it down middle school stuff

@kjayhawks

too slow with the ball

Lucas is clearly at a low ebb on his biorhythm tonight, but he's got to be strong enough after all these years to clamp and dunk!!!!

Way too much overhelping. A three is worth more than a two.

I say let Mason get to the lane, they haven't stopped that action all night

@BeddieKU23 agreed - he is faster than all of them

@jaybate-1.0

Refs owe us at least 3 calls. But LL needs to get some pine time

Drive and kick to Grahman and SVI

I'm not thrilled with Lucas and Bragg so far

Same old story... Bad calls a two way street: the ref that makes the call and the kid that puts himself in a situation to have a bad call called on him.

@DanR First thing I noticed at the WU Games exhibitions last year at Sprint was HCBS was puffed up like a toad----in June already!! Too damn much fried food & golf ?? Now I can't say diddley squat cause I've put on 20 f-in lbs in the last 6 mo my damn self livin on a frickin golf course,,,

Livin' la vida Doka!

svi didnt even try to stop that guy going to the hoop

@approxinfinity Excellent!

Doke!

@approxinfinity How long have you been waiting on that one :) ?

This footage is very interesting, because Japanese PM Abe is making some overtures to players in East Asia that appear somewhat like hedging on our alliance.

There is Udoka sorry about missing the FU or JK earlier

@DCHawker :) a riff on something jb said earlier.

@jaybate-1.0 said:

This footage is very interesting, because Japanese PM Abe is making some overtures to players in East Asia that appear somewhat like hedging on our alliance.

Exactly

@approxinfinity Dunno what happened - didn't like smiley face

Frank kinda looks tired

a missed call on masons drive leads to that junk!!!!!!!!!!!

@VailHawk Speaking of hedging alliance, thats the real reason I think JJ came to Kansas... this team's fros are a hedging alliance.

I thought we just had a 9 point lead a minute ago???

We need Doke to put a little wood on Bryant.

They are Big Tenning us now.

1st time this year I'm really ticked.

Dang

wow these refs just plain suck

@DanR Dig it ...just a baby. How'd ya like to have to feed one like that ?? I had 2 - one QB & one offensive lineman ... They ate A LOT !!

keep drawing fouls boys

vick with a huge shot

Vick with the Hawaii Rainbow Classic!

Did I mention that the ref's have really sucked

IU is showing that he was a RATSO IZZO assistant right now. They are fouling rock hard to get back into it.

Vaporub put one in

Unbelievable bad call against Graham

its like contact is just not allowed

That ref is owes 5 calls

Good foul doke

Graham does not look in the moment, as he tended to last season.

He needs to get untracked.

another ill advised jackson shot, just took himself out the game

Come on refs! This is a physical game, let them play!

Too many whistles this half messing up the game flow

Ah, Devonte has a bad leg.

Refs should have fouled out by now...

FT's coming too joke

If you're going to foul them, leave no doubt.

Good for Jackson. That guy needed that.

@BeddieKU23 said:

its like contact is just not allowed

Of course not

Why are we shooting only 3s?

It looks like Self has given the guys the word to mix it up a little now.

@approxinfinity Missed corner threes hurting us on both ends.

Yuck bonus with 13 left, this is why need quarters

Why was LL under the basket, maybe blocking out, but completely took himself out of the play as well.

@approxinfinity

no post game this early in the yr

Landen is getting beat up and down the floor to both ends. He's got to be in a bad way.

@BeddieKU23 said:

@approxinfinity

no post game this early in the yr

Probably going to be a problem all year against good front lines.

@Bwag

JamTray rebounding position

@approxinfinity cause we don't trust our bigs?

Though we did have some good action going inside off and on

@BeddieKU23 Wellp. I can't wait to see Udoka develop post game over the next 2 years... TWO YEARS! GEEKED

Self complained about our first half transition D, but it hasn't gotten any better this half...

Maybe we should play a 5 guard line up with the way our bigs are playing

@approxinfinity

he's got a long ways to go

@approxinfinity 4 out & 1 in ... Don't fret Okie ball will return. If not tonight, it will rear its' ugly head soon. Bill tolerates losses poorly... JMO

@DCHawker

Its like we've got a lot of unreported bad wheels out there.

Guys are just in bad positions for rebounding and not getting their body on somebody and pushing them out to the parking lot. Standing around won't get you rebounds

Was Self helping Bragg put on weight all summer?

@DCHawker

very true, we are crashing the boards and not getting any of the missed shots

Not looking like a typical KU team right now. No toughness at all. IU is owning us.

@jaybate-1.0 DG always cramps up

@VailHawk

LOL

that was better

holy cow a lob!

Nice play Self

Bragg scored his 8th point about an hour ago, and nothing since.

@Crimsonorblue22

RELIEF

when we built leads it was built off tempo

Bill is going to have his work cut out for him this year forming this into some sort of coherent way to play and put the pieces together to get there.

That's a high percentage shot

tempo is the key to winning this game, our half court offense late in the clock is going to be a work in progress, quick shots are working best

Black isn't even an MSU color.

I think our guys should start wearing AOR-2 camo with some ghilliy suits when watching the MSU game

Let's try five guards and run like hell for a few minutes

You know, we have to be pretty good to be ahead of this team and we are only running on about 5 cylinders of our V-8

@jaybate-1.0

Did you predict that Presidential outcome on Tuesday?

I'd like to see a few more plays run through Vick, he can get his own

@DanR Send coach a text

@jaybate-1.0 not a good place to be. Lucky it's very early...

@BeddieKU23 I feel like all our guards can get to the paint anytime

@VailHawk

No. I thought he had a chance, but I thought sure the Clinton organization would steal more votes than the Trump organization, but I apparently guessed wrong.

@jaybate-1.0 Don't wanna be playing your best in November just improving

@wissox probably a bad idea

@kjayhawks

yeah we need to get to the bonus, mason/graham got most of their points at the line

Vick dunk?

@Bwag said:

Bill is going to have his work cut out for him this year forming this into some sort of coherent way to play and put the pieces together to get there.

Yeah pretty much.

@kjayhawks

Well, then we have got that covered for sure. :-)

@brooksmd kinda quiet tonight you ole' salty dog !

That's how you sell the and 1!

TEMPO TEMPO TEMPO

Guys you are never going to believe it.

AND ONE !!

Finally! We got the And One!

HOw'd we score after the Timeout?

@BShark said:

Guys you are never going to believe it.

They gave us an AND 1!!!

Nice interview, bad timing

Clean rip. BS.

@Crimsonorblue22 Displeased I am

@approxinfinity

YUPP

Looks like if they're gonna call that on Mason, we need to give LL a break, he was fouled on that attempt to go up for a dunk.

I guess players are not allowed to touch the ball while a player of the other team is in possession of it.

That ref owes us six calls

you have got to be kidding me

I'd get a T if I was Self this is Ludacris

Anyone that loses a shoe should go the bench. Tie your damn shoes.

Looking at the stands, any former Navy guys on here? If so, how did you keep your whites white? If I had to wear them they'd look like crap as soon as I put them on.

Indiana = allergic to shooting 2's

Vick can fly somehow in those bird legs. Oh, of course

Guarded lob to Lucas?

that is svi's fault

This run started on a crap call against Mason

Lost shoe sounds like it's injury related. Same for that was in a boot?

@wissox

refs call it everytime anticipating a call instead of reacting

Timeout situation not looking good.

Goodness one timeout left and foul trouble better pick it up

We're on a crashcourse with an L if we don't start getting some quality possessions.

Bragg ought to be fresh

Foul trouble is going to be a big story for us tonight I'm afraid.

good job mason

Why no dunk

Glad to see Bryant is okay

BRAGGG

Good job Carlton! two big buckets!

Great play by Landen, then threw it away.

No toughness at all

Love me some Frank drawing that foul.

wow lucas just mugged a guy

as soon as bragg does something great he does something bad, smh

Bragg literally banged that one in

Gonna be ugly ball the rest of the way...

We're still not in the bonus, they're 1 foul from the double bonus I think.

Carlton, this is your conscience,

DUNK!!!!

Need some stops. D HAS to step up or this is a loss.

With a trident.

Well this is sucking

Boards

IU 35

KU 26

3 pt shooting and they have 15 ORB's...

that rim out shot by Graham really hurt momentum

Bragg just needs to dial it back a half notch until he can handle his speed

@BeddieKU23 said:

Yeah he needs time and experience.

Bragg may need a hypnotist to plant the suggestion: I am a big strong man now and I can pretty much go to iron whenever I want. And gosh darn, people like me.

Grahman, Mason and Jackson combine for 9/28 from the floor

their fg% was 39% first half, ours was 52%.

Death by the three

holy shit svi destroy that rim

svi moves his feet, still a foul i just dont get it

Svi!!!!!!

omg you got to be kidding me

Svi is trying to shame these Americans into dunking.

Refs suck

hmmmm what is the call here

Svi, you've got to grow a pipe in order to shame them with that sort of dunk.

That ref owes us seven calls

officiating just hitting a new low every game

its not a foul on anyone, redicilous

So you can review a call but not a shot clock violation?

Rebounding ... or the lack there of, will be this teams undoing..

Ed Hightowers nephew?

Coach Self, please don't let Tom "I'm a grown nerd" Crean dog the refs too much. Oh, good, he got into it.

double foul is stupid af

Wow did IU pay these guys??

!Screenshot 2016-11-11 23.49.54.png ↗

No foul a better resolution

yup just bring in freshman who chuck 3's.

Lucas under the basket...

Did I not see LL get shoved when he went up?

Mason got fouled before the goaltend

A double foul?

What did our guy get too much blood on his attacker?

Lucas can't jump at all. Get him out

refs are paying us back guys

Bad ball.

@DanR drives me nuts

Need shots to go down

LL worst 5 year player in Self era

@DanR Why isn't Carlton out there? He was the spark inside on o!

But Frank's a little rusty. He's forgotten how to really drive into the guys at the iron.

@approxinfinity

4 fouls

@brooksmd Yep there's a provision to CYA if the ref look like idiots ... I call it job insurance....

but who doesnt have 4 fouls

Also we've got a bench full of talent, and seem to want to push and shoot early in the possession. Wouldn't you want fresh legs for that game plan?

We have only one FT attempt this half...

Landen, welcome to playing operable.

Its a high honor that hurts like hell.

SVI

lucas has just been badddd

Lucas not moving his feet.

@KansasComet

either did DG

Think how long this season must seem to Landen right now knowing he's going to be playing operable for 35-40 games.

@BeddieKU23 So true!

We're still not in the bonus.

I am loving me some Svi right now!!!!

That looked like offensive player created contact by extending his arm...

This is feeling like an L now

lucas at 80% is not useful

LL is killing us badly

@jaybate-1.0 You're right. we should have a little sympathy. He's hustling.

@BShark

L LL

The good news is. For the long haul. It's not a bad thing to realize the BS behind the rankings and be humbled into working really hard to earn it the rest of the season

wow josh what a terribe night

We've got to find the range, or the ukuleles are going to be strumming taps for us.

bragg gone

Its lucky Josh got fouled because he was driving away from the basket

Doke time

Just joined the thread....is it me or are refs terrible.

Svi is badass... but a jump shootin team ain't missing right now.... won't last at crunch time. KU will prevail...

Really? Can't front your man now?

Our bigs are a huge work in progress...

We just lost

How can they call 25 freaking fouls on a college basketball team? And if we have to foul to catch up, we'll top 30.

Carlton, this is your conscience: you are strong enough to front the post.

@kjayhawks Let Josh and Dokes have a crack at it.

@JayHawkFanToo You sure you haven't been reading the posts? You nailed it.

Graham and Josh both with rough nights shooting.

Don't forget that he's going against a future literary pick

So many missed opportunities. I think they're done. Too many jump shots that aren't going in and they refuse to block out on shots.

@wissox Officials were re: tutored on Duke Rules at half time...

@BShark Graham's leading the team in pts though

Seriously, this Bryant is an excellent experience for our bigs and new small guys. He is a good basketball player. And long and strong. Our guys needed to see what the real thing looks like sooner rather than later.

@autohawk auto correct?

Wow, down 3 with 3:45 to go and folks giving up.

Rebound update IU 41 KU 30, there is the game boys that's a joke

I still like our chances, mason and graham

@brooksmd

Not giving up.

No way.

But the boys are getting a gut check.

@HawkChamp said:

yep unfortunately

This is where our guards are supposed to weigh in.

Just not passing the eye test tonight

Jesus. This may be be double digits...

@approxinfinity said:

He has done well at the line. Rough night from the field.

@jaybate-1.0 Good job Landen! Clutch FTs

LL hits FT's

Think we just got one of our bad calls back

We've been out fought and out hustled, but this is still winnable...

Jerry slaying me here.

@jerrymeyer247 9s10 seconds ago

Gonna be tough for college basketball games to last as long as college football games, but the basketball side is giving it a go on day one.

Frank getting some BAD BALL RECALL

@brooksmd 20/25!

This is what's great about FTS. The score narrows, but the clock doesn't

Defense wins this right here

did I mention I LOOOOOVE Frank?

Mason!

PF's

KU 25

IU 23 now

Bulldog

Its clear that a lot of our guys are just not used to defensing big strong D1 athleticism f

second game in a row Frank has gotten full extension with his left and taken it to the cup on a big. LOVE THAT

I LOVE svi's play on the break every time 'this game

Frank is just BAD BALL personified.

Frank is just beastly

@Bwag Refs and FTs aren't the issue rebounding is

@brooksmd remember D Downer ? He's alive wit da new handle ... still a whiner that rhymes with D**er... Gee back in da lead wit 2 & change ... amazin ...

That ref still owes us seven calls

He had to actually come back to get the foul

cant leave blackmon ever

C'mon guys, just for old time's sake, everyone start driving!!!!

go dig a grave refs

Damn... game

well guys we tried

@kjayhawks didn't say it was...just a stat check

Frank knows the strikezone, and that aint the strike zone, ump.

Not over

I am sorry.

Did he foul him?

@VailHawk at least

How in all things mighty is that a foul???

Done. Bad foul. Rebounds really hurt. Really hurt ourselves and kept shooting our ourselves in the foot

@jaybate-1.0 said:

I am sorry.

Did he foul him?

No. But these refs

he came in from out of bounds!

May wanna go ahead and skip the pleasantries and sightseeing in NY. Work to do. Much work to do

@approxinfinity said:

he came in from out of bounds!

Didn't re-establish

Just went back and watched, total phantom call against Mason wraps this one up.

We didn't guard the line and our rebounding stunk,

But goodness, these referees.

@BShark They do draw deeply, don't they.

@approxinfinity said:

he came in from out of bounds!

Bill agrees.

Do it frank

Shit that looked like Tyus Edny... - IU who ?

OMG this is the worst reffed game ive ever seen

Embarrassing that our big guys refuse to put their rears on their man and push them back to the concession stand. The coaching staff has to help them with this fundamental strategy that cost us an important win.

Time for Svi to squeeze a trey

Still not over - but giving up almost 90 points. Indiana is a good team, but really thought we were going to be much better defensively...

Frank the Endless Tank!

Nope, time for BadBall

Need a stop

bye bye bryant

He needs to more than foul out.

He needs to be electrocuted, or something.

There we go

Self woke the refs up

@DanR Make up call...

@Bwag Got it...,,, KU will prevail !!

omg thats so good Frank!

And 1

No way!!!!

you guys

FRANK

MASON

See no shit I speak !!

Frank!!!! Sweeeeeeet

FRANK THE GOD

FRANK THE KING

FRANK THE TEAM

Clearly a make up call, I'm tired of Bilas

Now, guard the 3 point line please!

Frank!!!!!!!

Frank is willing the team to win....

Frank willing us one.

@wissox said:

Now, guard the 3 point line please!

THIS THIS THIS

Pretty good start to the college BBall season with these 2 games in the Aloha State...

Hope that doesn't cost us. Force a quick contested shot

I have faith in these refs to come to IU's aid in these last 30 some seconds.

@jaybate-1.0 9 sec differential... Last poss is ours... Yeaaahhh!!

I'm not a fan of the offensive player extending the arm to create contact and getting the call...that is what Frank did there, but that's the way it's called and we had the same thing go against us. ..

@globaljaybird no more offensive rebs for IU!

If I'm Indiana I ride or die with Blackmon

Hard to be mad at frank but you have to make that as a senior

Tom, you are very unmanly not to let your guys try to finish it.

You are over coaching.

You are making me listen to Bilas.

garbage. clean block.

@BShark said:

If I'm Indiana I ride or die with Blackmon

Darn Crean listened to me

All ball

All effing ball...

that was not a foul btw

Looks like Graham and the nutristionist haven't gotten it figured out yet.

Well, this is a well planned play, right Jay?

@approxinfinity Gotta disagree - not smart by DG - brought his arms down - Blackmon was too deep and wasn't going to make anything.

Even if he makes both we get the ball with 13 secs. Let's go!

Good move here by DG to buy us a little time to figure out what to do.

@BShark said:

that was not a foul btw

I am going to be salty af about this call if we lose guys.

@DanR I don't like being in that position at all

Ride mason all the way

@DCHawker but he got all ball...

@brooksmd Good foul, make em knock em down, clock stopped, still last possession... I'll take our chance. 50% of all games end this way & coach speaks this longue.

We need to take a 3 to win or lose this in regulation. Our entire team will foul out in OT.

Also, remember that gift bucket IU got on the shot clock no call?

Actually, we've got them right where we want them.

They'll make two.

We come down and Frank, or Svi, can a trey.

I have all my salt ready

How is that for making a guy think about a FT

@jaybate-1.0 Just what I was gonna say. Hell with the tie, shoot the trey.

Dang, it didn't help

I say go for the two and get a chance in ot

@brooksmd

Brooksie with a pair slapping!!!!!!!

Yes, we've gotta beat these guys now.

B I'm Frank Mason!

Lucas, Jackson, Mason with 4 fouls...

@kjayhawks said:

Hard to be mad at frank but you have to make that as a senior

How were those?

@Bwag :100:

Frank "Icewater" Mason

OMG! He drew a foul on the second or third try.

Smart move by frank. Don't foul on this possession!!

DA BULLDOG !! I GOT ONE TOO !!

Two FTs

Yessssss

Mason for president 2020

Sure would like those two points back from the shot clock violation.

Love me some Frank!!!

I age 2 years every basketball season

@Bwag one important one shy...

our entire team may foul out guys

So...

Mason or Sheron Collins?

Frank, make the FT and trust me the girls are gonna luv ya

@BShark

Quite likely...

@Bwag damn that's as tough as it gets...

OT

What a gutsy comeback by our guys!!!

@HawkChamp

Hell yeah

Wow what a game.

Defense Jayhawks Defense

At least by Frank.

@Bwag Frank. He was there last year, imo.

We are in big foul trouble. Lucas, mason, Jackson with 4...

Bring Doke for a quick bank and dunk.

@jaybate-1.0

Frank the Tank

@jaybate-1.0 Leads team in scoring, assists and rebounds tonight. What a performance...

Need Josh to show something now...

@DCHawker

His rebounding I am convinced is some kind of an MK-Ultra mind control experiment

Rebound in traffic...nice LL

DEEEEEEFENSE

@DCHawker Agree totally!

Self letting Landen know that playing operable is no big deal. OT? what me worry?

Frank carried us to OT, time for the rest of the team to step up

Who will we bring if someone on the perimeter fouls out?

Sink em LL

@jaybate-1.0 Tyler, of course...

Frank Mason Offense...three drives and a cloud of fouls.

Just drive the lane every time

Would like to see svi jack threes instead of frank at this point

Landen was pushed all the way to Molokai

@jaybate-1.0 Lightfoot or Coleby and go big?

Calling JJ

Landen, worst looking FT i have ever seen you shoot.

Twice

@jaybate-1.0 Vick?

How about a trey

This is going to be my question for awhile and would love after this is over to hear discussion on it:

Do we have the scheming to play small ball?

FTs FTs

Natural free throw ability in OT is a very good sign for our chances in March.

@Bwag

yes, but we're in BAD BALL mode here.

Oh yeah Vick is already in

@jaybate-1.0 Blackmon heard you. He's quite the player.

Blackmon career night no surprise

That wasn't bad defense but...dang

@BeddieKU23 why do guys always seem to get "career night" vs us? Ugh...

@Bwag Vick was inda grille &that dude made the play...

Need Jackson to be a hero like Jacque Vaughn was

I think Bilas wants Indiana to win.

That was a great shot bye blackman, we cant have a 5th senior going empty from the stripe no excuses just cant do it

Hey, I just realized I haven't seen @HighEliteMajor for a lonnnnnnng time. Do we know what happened to HEM?

@jaybate-1.0 lost in da 50's...

He would be screaming for a trey about now.

Frank is dominating

Whatever it's over

F that freshman

Let them drive...don't go for any fake drives

@approxinfinity

Frank is just kind of driving around doing what he wants.

Terrible turnover

@approxinfinity But them guys are nailin some shots. I'm impressed.
