Just about time.
HIDE YO KIDZ!!!
I like Matt Tait. I think he's a genuinely good dude. Tom ruined the LJW. The boards drove that joint, and he didn't like it. It was a GD community, and they won awards.

Lost me you have.
They are interviewing Matt Tait (a columnist for the Lawrence World Journal) right now.
Ah okay. Haven't turned anything on yet.
Forgive me if I Jaybate, but Sienna, Italy is one of the most intoxicating and beautiful places on earth. The best thing about Sienna is the siesta, which occurs approx at 3pm. You go home, drink a glass of wine, bump uglies, and nap. Then you go back to work, and finish the day eating dinner and strolling until 10pm. Why does America stop naps at 5 years old? I'm 41 and could use one every day. My point is that the Sienna Saints make no sense, and it should be the Sienna Sietas.
Technology getting me big time tonight grrrrrrrrr
I should get one of those live porn chat links and charge you guys for watching my TV.
Oh Jesse...
Under strengths for Siena
â–Ş Rim protection: Led by 6-foot-10 center Javion Ogunyemi, Siena is a good shot-blocking team, ranking 69th in block percentage this year after finishing 58th in the stat last season.
Under Weaknesses
▪ Allowing close shots: Through two games, 46 percent of opponents’ shots against Siena have come at the rim, a number that ranks 324th nationally.
I mean play the game only. lol
Honor will lead us in scoring tonight.
Free throws for Josh are such a problem.
Carlton buckets Bragg
This is not a hangover game. If you wan't to use this as an analogy I must counter. If this is a hangover game, then KU is JR Ewing, sipping bourbon, at 5:00, waiting for Sue Ellen to wake up.
I like that shot of Braggs....when they go in.
This is a Lucas kind of game athletically.
Bad ball to the rescue
He was not set
Got to learn how to guard pick and rolls better
WHATTTTT????
Getting whatever we want at the rim but defensive issues.
LOL THAT CALL
FRANK HIGH FLYIN
What world in the name of Mary Lou Retton, can Frank Mason finish a lob like a boss?
1st bad call of the night. JJ seems to be a magnet for bad officials
Wow, Frank!
I like the drive by Carlton. He needs to take that whenever he is one on one
12- 12.
Are we gonna stop them?
yeah these guys acting like this a scrimmage on defense. Self will let them know now. I bet the game slows down a bit at some point this half
Mason has some hops fellas
@BeddieKU23 said:

Exactly
Any reason at all to guard Siena on the 3 ball? Or is this a scrimmage where we just let them shoot and if they miss fast break up court.
Good poss on d there
Does anyone else not have the game right now? My screen went black on the channel...
Mine is rolling. WOW in Lawrence.
Got it back now
@stoptheflop yes
Sienna is that prototypical NCAA team with experience.
Icy from 3 land
@stoptheflop said:

Question may be should Sienna guard our 3 ball the way we've been shooting it from 3.
Svi!!!
@HawkChamp I have cox and it went off, back on. Missed a few though
Wow Vick!
I like how the guys are looking to push the ball at every opportunity.
there we go, some effort!!
@HawkChamp said:

Exp of the guards really helps this too
Vick layup was an athletic one I've seen since BMac. Watch it again at half.
Lucas playing much better tonight, those few minutes with Doke in went freshman like
@BeddieKU23 said:

Helps to be playing Siena's front line
SHOT CLOCK VIOLATION
Coach Self is going to make everyone make 1000 free throws before they go home for turkey day
Josh!!!
......
Bragg with the rebound. Now that's progress.
That's kinda how my 8 year old used to post up. 7 pivots. lol.
Not sure about that offensive foul on JJ....again
theese refs hate josh
LOL LANDEN
Nice aggressive move by Carlton!! He is starting to get more involved
Lucas seems to have regressed.
wow landon that is so bad
@BeddieKU23 said:
theese refs hate josh
I'm starting to worry about a self-fulfilling prophecy where refs think Josh fouls a lot so they call crap fouls.
These calls are stupid
OH REFS
okay these refs can go to freakin hell
Graham, looks like Mario. Maybe even more athletic.
Hello!
Just mounted my new 65 in 4k TV :). now to enjoy some KU basketball.
Hope JJ doesn't become frustrated by the refs.
JJ (Dynomite) needs to figure out how to get transition buckets. Slashing in the 1/2 court game only works in the pros.
its really sad they are calling the game this way.
that was a nice pull up J by Graham though
Dok and landon?
Get the rebound!!!!
3-pt shooting is officially a problem.
Shooting 25% so far tonight.
1/4 though so can improve yet
It's still crazy to me how big Doka is.
It's ridiculous that LL has carte blanch. I get loyalty, but he's not Wayne Simeon.
I don't think you're going to shoot 25% for the rest of the season when they shot 40%+ last year.
damn it LAnden
what the point of throwing the ball into lucas. its sad
Landon can't make a b2b move and Siena is scoring off of it. Can we do something better?
frank mason could make those shots against the bigs
@BeddieKU23 said:

Bill is trolling us I hope
Freshmen have committed 4 of our 6 fouls.
Lucas is an issue. That's not a foot problem.
Our defense has been subpar tonight. Got to have more focus.
Saw this with EJ and TT.
If LL is the go-t0 in the tourney this year we exit in round 2.
I'm impressed by Siena's fight, but their starting five is going to get fatigued by the middle of the second half.
Mason having a great first half that would be even better had his and 1 not have been taken away
Carlton!!!

Not a chance....I hope
Landen Lucas is a decent basketball player and a good human being.
** This is because google never forgets, and his children and grandchildren should know he is loved.
THAT'S MITCH LIGHTFOOT'S MUSIC
seina has had at least a half dozen illegal screens in this half
Azabuike needs to play and develop. Hopefully he comes along quickly. He's not gonna learn offensive moves from LL. Maybe positioning.
Carlton has been very aggressive and looking to score. I like it
@BeddieKU23 said:

Must no longer be a point of emphasis. We need to get Jamari to talk to these refs.
yes hes been the best post we got
@HawkChamp they're gonna have to prove it.
I think they'll improve.
Man Devonte has lost his shooting stroke. We would be 2-0 if we shot closer to last year's average.
1/7 for 16% from 3pt land.
It's becoming a thing.
Vick jumps 29 feet in the air and it looks so effortless
Not bad. Bill will make adjustments. JJ has to understand that by driving in college, folks aren't scared of getting on your mix-tape alone, they play defense, and you've got to get creative. Pick and roll, son. Lob.
@Bwag said:

Yeah, if it persists after KU gets back to a normal travel schedule I will worry.
@BeddieKU23 said:

He has NBA athleticism.
@BeddieKU23 said:
its a big concern but they are good looks and the guards have played a lot of minutes/tired legs this past week
This.
its a 10 point game but the refs ruined a lot of momemtum.
josh had multiple plays taken away, Mason as well.
Defense was good for good stretches after that initial shootout.
Carlton Bragg, 10 first half points. He's rebounding too. Looking good.
It's ok everbody, the guys are saving their best shooting games for the tournament like Nova and North Carolina last year
@Bwag said:
@BShark if that's the excuse, then I'm concerned about March already.
I don't see us resting Graham and more so Mason much.
We've got to see our inside game pick up some slack.
The problem with that is Lucas and Doke can't create on their own and Bragg is a bit of a perimeter post player.
@BeddieKU23 Duke did it the entire game. JJ's final foul was exactly that. Little wonder he was pissed. So was I.
@BeddieKU23 said:

Yeah I'm not too worried yet. This is a nice easy stretch to help the team coalesce.
I'm tired of Josh being punished for how good he is. This type of stuff won't happen at the next level for him.
@BeddieKU23 said:

It's ridiculous.
@BShark you nailed that.
Lucas isn't gonna get it
Azibuike will get it but is raw and the factor is learning timeline-this year or next, I'm pulling for his quick study
Bragg is the X-factor. We know he's got mid range. Is he gonna become an inside player when a strong inside game is needed.
@HawkChamp said:
@BShark Self said Udoka can, but why aren't we getting him the ball on the block?
Doke is raw. He scored a few times against Duke but I don't think it will be very sustainable this year. Obviously he can dunk so there is that.
Good to see Allen's bs play addressed by ESPN.
@BeddieKU23 said:
Bragg can at least finish inside which we know Lucas is falling apart trying to do. Bragg showing why scouts love him
Yeah I have lots of hope for Bragg. People thinking he won't be gone I think are in for a rude awakening. I think Preston committed because he knows he will start.

Yepppp. The bright side is as mentioned KU has a nice stretch of games leading up to OU to help figure stuff out while presumably winning most if not all of them.
@HawkChamp said:
@BShark Self said Udoka can, but why aren't we getting him the ball on the block?
We need to, but it was a lotta ugly last game if he wasn't in close. I'm confident he'll learn, too athletic not to, but I'm concerned he doesn't have anyone to really show him. Will have to be tape of some ex players.
@Crimsonorblue22 The real BS was all he ever got was a reprimand. Never a suspension. Should've been tossed from each game.

It'sgoing to be pretty fun to watch Doke develop.
need Danny back on staff to coach our bigs.
Bragg 10 points and 6 boards. Niiiiiiice first half.
if this team keeps progressing, a Bragg/Doke starting lineup is what would probably make this teams ceiling unstoppable
Oh and these announcers haha. Of course Vick and Svi are playing big minutes. Josh has fouls and the bench is not deep
Does Vick get FAA clearance before he goes up for jams?
Step to the ball
Time to put on the clamps
@globaljaybird CB tonite?
Lucas is a stud.....said no Kubucketeer ever.
Missing wide open threes tonight
DUMB FOUL
Announcers didn't realize JJ just picked up his 3rd foul.
Josh seems good at getting to the rim
Mason with another three point miss
we could avoid a lot of their junk points by doubling down on their center
@stoptheflop hopefully similar to last year
@BeddieKU23 Bill probably would think that is the easy way to defend it
I feel like Frank could jump over the average size guy
we have doubled in the past, not understanding why we are not trying to force the ball to someone else.
@HawkChamp said:
@BeddieKU23 Bill probably would think that is the easy way to defend it
Bill is such a rascal. Self-imposed challenges are fun!
There we go..keep getting Udoka the ball
Doke smash
Who is guarding Wright? This is embarrassing
Udoka came into the game grabbing 50% of every available rebound in the first two games according to JNewell. The best rebounders at the end of the year are at 20%, He calls it the rebounding rate.
like I said yesterday this is a letdown game
Some defensive slides are in order tomorrow
its just the nature of the beast
we need a nice momentum 3 or dunk out this timeout? who gets it??
@BeddieKU23 Bragg missed it
@BeddieKU23 said:
like I said yesterday this is a letdown game
Definitely. I was projecting only a 12-15 pt win
@stoptheflop I'm not convinced.
I don't see a coach/core player meeting happening this year that gives him a superhuman confidence level. Hope I'm wrong.
What's the term: "Reversion to the mean"?
Bragg and Mason have both made the wrong choice on those 3 on 1's.
@Bwag said:

People were pretty down on last year's team after the Okie Lite loss
Dead ball 3pt make sighting.
Too much over help again!!! Come on!!!
We are guarding the three point shooters from the elbows.
Graham fading left on that 3 attempt.
some poor basketball out there
Honor is our leading scorer tonight.
Good drive and bounce pass dish there
Man, some undisciplined basketball on display tonight. Oh boy
Down to 11% 3pt %
FT% 61
I suppose I underestimated just how much of a letdown this would be. Still plenty of time for these guys to man up but the last 5 minutes there looked like we are just trying to coast on talent alone
which is probably okay for Coach as it gives him plenty to yell about:smile:
It pisses me off that all/most of us are stuck watching one of the favorites to win it all with one of the projected top players in the country on our laptops/phones/computers, or whatever. We've discussed this idiot AD ADnaseum, but it's pretty sucky.
lucas was a man on that play,
Lucas playing good d here
@globaljaybird You don't have ESPN3 or ESPNWatch?
Josh out there doing Josh things
12 for 20 free throw shooting. That'll lose us some games.
Thing about it we are learning to win the hard way without making any outside shots
Lucas has 5 blocks
or free throws
@HawkChamp said:

Bill is secretly happy.
Josh looks very natural with his offense. He is going to score some points for us this year.
@stoptheflop Second straight game we've stunk it up from FT and 3pt lines...
@stoptheflop said:

As long as it's not a jump shot, Josh is money
r u kidding me with that shot?
Bank is open for Siena.
3rd straight game we get torched from 3 land
Devontae Graham shooting percentages
3pt shot: 0%
Just inside the line: 99%
Devonte playing a little freer.
maybe want to guard Wright. Nope not even attempting
So why is Svi not playing?
@BeddieKU23 No Jayhawk within 8 feet of him.
Wright is going to score 35 because we don't put anyone in his pocket.
@globaljaybird said:
@Bwag You in the dark again tonite ??
I'm gonna bee in the bright light of the Field House next Friday!
how dumb can you possibly be
Nice guard play on the break
Why can't we play with this type of effort all the time?
A THREE!!!
@HawkChamp said:

They see Siena on the front of the jersey
frank is dead tired and we can't take him out
Bitch I'm frank mason
That alley oop was inexcusable.
Our 3-pt shooting from the corner set 3 may be our shot
@BeddieKU23 said:
well if josh didn't foul so much we may have flexibility in subs but
I don't really trust line-ups without Frank on offense at this pt
@BeddieKU23 that's a problem.
Self needs to or he's gonna be on the equivalent of crutches at end of year.
Svi locked down the right corner there!
CARLTON FIGHTIN
Why aren't we shooting FT's?
Lol I love Graham
so someone explain how Bragg wasn't shooting FT's after they called a foul?
Bragg got pulled down on the loose ball. They called a foul. Should've been 1-1 I thought.
@BeddieKU23 said:
so someone explain how Bragg wasn't shooting FT's after they called a foul?
No damn idea man
First foul on Bragg? I'll be...
I like vick
me too
Why can't we play with this focus all the time? The team from the last four minutes is a final four team
@Bwag said:
@BShark was a grab while he was on floor OR are we in bonus.
Must have Calle out of bounds?
They said it was a foul and KU is in the bonus. That's why @BeddieKU23 and myself are baffled
well that few minute outburst burst their bubble
playin down to comp and tired legs after all the travel
reminds me of the harvard game from last yr
@HawkChamp said:

This game was kind of like a cat playing with a mouse iyam.
Bill gonna let Bulldog have the rest of the nite off?
Tyler Self time boiz
Coleby walk-on status confirmed
Stat check:
Fg% - 56%
3pt%-20%
Ft%-65%
TYLER SELF THE GOD
Told you self would play and score loll
More like Tyler Nowitzski
Win number 207 for Coach Self.
Right on cusp of the spread
207-9, just unbelievable. so good its taken for granted
Are we just out athleting teams this year (as we go forward)?
Josh did whatever he wanted tonight, pretty good sign.
@kjayhawks said:
For the first time in to long "Ladies and Gentleman, Welcome to the University of Kansas and to Allen Fieldhouse, Home of your Jayhawks". This game could stay interesting for a half or so, the line sets at 23 currently. I say Mason continues his legendary start to the season and JJ gets going early, Bragg gets his swagger back after hitting back to back 3s. Tyler Self scores late on a runner. Kansas 86 Siena 62.
I think maybe after my last few predictions I should go buy a lottery ticket lol
Vick with 12 pts and 8 boards pretty nice line.
@KUSTEVE said:
@BShark I still can't believe you did that. Oh ye of little faith...lol.
I'm a bit of a downer at times.
@BeddieKU23 said:
yes hes got to stop fouling though. he gets to play 30+ minutes and he's going to really punish teams
Yeah 30+ mpg of Josh is ideal.
i don't think there is a player in America that can stop Jackson, only himself
@BeddieKU23 said:
i don't think there is a player in America that can stop Jackson, only himself
Are the refs calling suspect charges a player?
Prediction: Siena will win some games in their conference with Wright and Ogunyemi getting buckets.
Nice to know we can win when shots aren't falling. Be nice when they go in.
Udoka....Billy.....

86 pts being that cold from outside is pretty nice.
How about DG 9 assist and 0 turnovers
UNI beat OU in OT 73-67 ouch
300 (dang 301)
Good night all until next time.
Maybe see some of you all next Friday in the Field House for UNC Ashville.
Self has been on point in the presser.
"I didn't think we played very tough. I didn't think we played very fast. We looked slow defensively."
Didn't think the young big men were ready to play at all. Noticed it earlier in the day.
"Brain told our bodies we were tired."
He did like Carlton's performance though.
He mentioned they aren't really a team yet as well, which is pretty apparent.
Unrelated to KU: Purdue needed a 20-0 run to beat Georgia State by 8. 64-56. Could be worse!
Northern Iowa beats OU in OT. Film at 11:00.

It's all coming up Milhouse re: Trae Young.
Creighton seems salty http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=400919643 ↗
Bragg was awful in post game, has a harder time talking then Perry in his younger years. They all lost it and started laughing at him
Red rooster!!
@Crimsonorblue22 Where is that salty dog ??
So Baylor only beat FGCU by 9. That said, let's talk about the SEC.
Half of the SEC basketball teams have lost at least once already. Something no other power-five league can say.
@Jesse-Newell is doing the live update thingy over at kuhoops. A lot of us were with him before at the LJW and the Topeka paper.
Thanks for the heads up. Will check it out next game. Jesse is a great dude. The Star got a damned coup with him and Bedore.
