Selden will be watching with us.

Well, I approve of this start.

2-2 from 3

What a start. The type of effort that wins championships

JJ doin' what JJ supposed to do.

That was a nice board by doke. . Not sure he stepped out?

Poor doke

@BeddieKU23 he did

Jesus how did UAB win two games

@kjayhawks said:

By not playing KU more.

Graham is cooking with gas.

Hopefully our terrible average of 81 PPG let up will decrease here by a factor of ten

We look damn good right now! I hate the atmosphere in this building though. Way too corporate feeling I much prefer the confines of Fieldhouse

Mitch Lightfoot has taken the reins from Bragg as bench GOD.

ESPN talking head "Buke with another block and he doesn't even know what he's doing yet." PHOF

Referring to his reaction to Josh's dunk which was amazing.

Have mercy for uab Haven't made a field goal 8 minutes in

We need to get on same board

They look great tonight.

Poor UAB got the buzzsaw version.

@HawkInMizery Agreed but it is a host site for both NCAA and B12 tournament, huge advantage to play here multiple times this year.

Just think it should be 30 to 3 KU taken it easy on them

@BeddieKU23 said:

Lol

How much is their PG loss hurting them?

I like our 3pt improvement so far.

We're looking smooth right now. Playing fast is working a for us.

@Bwag guessing a lot

Great Mason holding his wrist

Lucas touched the ball?

Jackson out already. Good lord

@BeddieKU23 said:

Great Mason holding his wrist

Frank his always nursing an injury it seems. He is tough.

Flyin' Frank Mason!

Frank smiled!

Anybody seen our buddy Higgins?

Bragg just airballed a 8 footer

Wow Bragg. He's missed badly on a couple tonight.

But I like the activity.

Lots of fouls..

Fran talking about LoVett who may have been a Jayhawk if he wasn't a non-qualifer.

Sloppy sloppy

Well the effort that got us up 20 is gone

@BeddieKU23 said:

Fooling around now. Self is displeased.

@BeddieKU23 playing down

Playing fast not so great here recently

@BShark me too

That play by vick was out of control

Maybe we should you know run some offense maybe just once to see what its like.

Feels like Graham should have 6 3's by now

@kjayhawks said:

Sounds ridiculous. lol

Have to make that shot vick

Vick needs to start hitting some 3's

@BeddieKU23 said:

Was nice to get him that look but yeah gotta hit it

Uab doubling Mason and Graham just jacking shots

Shooting woos

@BeddieKU23 lazy play last 8 minutes lucky its a shit team.

Scoring rate has slowed considerably.

How can Josh be this bad at the line

Just can't even score now. Ridiculous.

@kjayhawks
That's true! I don't mind playing here I would just prefer Allen. Really happy the sweet 16 and elite 8 will be hosted here this year at

Joke

We look flaccid now. We started off so well, & thought we were going to run away with this. Letting them right back in it

Had them on the mat and let them get back up.

@BShark

A bunch of bricks

Devonte has shot this team out a lead after shooting them into one

I would put all 5 guys out, bunch of lazy asses, play like you wanna be there or leave. Flatout embarrassing

Was like 17-0 or 20-1.

Now under 10 pt lead.

Let's go back to what we were doing. :-)

That last three was nuts but when you let a team get confident.

I mean....this is crazy. Felt like we had 20 points like 3 minutes in and then 7 the rest of the way.

They're making tough shots and we're missing easy shots.

@chriz

And the effort on defense is gone

@chriz said:

They're making tough shots and we're missing easy shots.

It kinda started this way but UAB is just playing better now. Blocking shots and such.

@chriz said:

They're making tough shots and we're missing easy shots.

How many air balls have we shot?

Lucas didn't even touch him

Oh, and LL is average at best.

Bah gawd King, that's Coleby's music. Self is pissed.

Perfect example is the wide open shot that Bragg usually makes and air-mailed.

Colby lost on defense

J for the j

Coleby can rebound though.

Dirk williams career night

Reminds of that Temple game before Christmas a couple years ago
where the team looked like they wanted to be doing something other than playing ball.

@BeddieKU23 said:

Dirk williams career night

Yep. So random. Josh guarded him well on that last make too.

Terrible is the only word for that

At least his last name isn't Clinton Dix

They are just standing around omg

What's up with Bill Self's face?

Move the ball, get a bucket. Shocking.

They are literally not even playing hard right now

Down to five and a bad shot choice by Mason. Next possession and good ball movement led to a 3.

coachableMoments

@BeddieKU23 said:

They thought it was over at 20-1

Those 3s are the definition of fools gold

@BeddieKU23 said:

Not at this point. We need to see some success from 3

I think 5 post Points total from posts 0 from Lucas doke coleby

Yep. Volatile team due to the lack of a post scorer. So atypical for a Self team but this is what happens when you struggle to recruit post players due to the Alexander/Diallo crap.

This is why getting Preston was MASSIVE assuming he does make it to campus.

@BShark

This team just got away from any offense once they zoned and started saging men in the paint and on mason. Bad ball. Self will yell at them plenty

Preston and SO Doke is a very good front line and Preston can score from anywhere.

@BeddieKU23 said:

Going to see this A LOT going forward so hopefully they figure it out.

I feel like you have to get Svi in there when that happens. Smart passer and can make shots.

Look at these guys making excuses for a bad UConn team.

So not quite 3 RB's by our Bigs since Doke has 5, but our starting 2 bigs do have just 3 RB's.

Time for Self to sit Lucas from a start and see if that doesn't change his mindset around. I think we're seeing a more accurate picture of his ceiling/skill set than second half of last year.

Heck at this rate Bragg might be back

My word Bruce mishandled Marcus Foster.

@Bwag But no one has been able to get a pass into the post. Has Lucas even touched the ball?

@stoptheflop yes and lost it.

But if so, why is that? Real question.

@Bwag I see the Blazer D sagging on the post players.

@stoptheflop said:

Need to zip around passes and get open threes.

Why has this university not had a killer instinct since sherron left?

@stoptheflop said:

@Bwag I see the Blazer D sagging on the post players.

My question would be why? But I suppose due to ~26% 3pt shooting.

Looks like Self got in Lucas' face at half

MUCHHHHHHH better effort here.

Lucas doing a MUCH better job on the boards

And I'm loving how Lucas isn't trying to go back up all the time, sending it back out.

2nd half effort brought to you by viagra.

@chriz said:

Like Fran said, he should never forget who he is.

@Bwag said:

Viag-roids?

New "most interesting man in the world" is an ugly dude.

Outside of rebounding, our bench seems to be bringing squat tonight.

I mean...you see the way we started both halfs. No way this game should have EVER been close my word.

Lucas kept the ball high on that catch and shot!

Not quite the intensity we saw early first half but whole lot better than what we saw late first half. JJ getting a handle on his role. BTW, nice hoop by LL.

@chriz said:

HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE.

@BShark he must be sick first time in 5 years

@BShark coaching?

Butt chewing

Oh thanks ESPN. #dumbcameraangle

Nice move by UAB there

Seriously, what's up with Bill's face? Some skin condition or something?

Keep above yur head big guy.

That steal reminded me of Sherron's

pffffffffffffffft

These refs are putting on an amazing show. Glad I tuned in.

@chriz said:

UAB players working on a tech there. My goodness this has been brutal. Really hated the charge call on Graham.

The drawing a charge thing pisses me off. Guys aren't even playing basketball, they're just trying to take advantage of the rulebook. The rules are for the game, not the game for the rules.

Buke and 1!!!

Amen fam

Doke! I say it like Homer Simpson, but finish with the k.

Doke shoots better FTs than JJ lol

@kjayhawks said:

:sweat_smile:

That was a junk call on Doke. You call that a foul in a pickup game you get your a$$ kicked. How about erring on the side of NOT blowing the whistle? So unless you absolutely know it's a foul, don't call it.

@Bwag most interesting man, aka @brooksmd has gone way down hill!

Love the drive and dish by Jackson

Interesting fan reaction analysis

The 3 ball has been much improved tonight, our bigs have to play better period.

Josh is our best low post scorer ha.

Mitch is just out there on the bench living our dream.

@BShark finally posting up in the paint

Can't see Bragg in the nba

Bragg playing horribly tonight. Not impressing the scouts

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

His inner circle thinks so though. Now, if he is projected late 2nd or undraftable then maybe. It would be GREAT if he did come back though.

Josh is incredible.

JJ KABOOM!!!

JACKSON!!!

Is that poster for sale yet? Because I want it.

Josh is having fun!

Doing his best Selden impression! Same goal!

Fran knows Josh's mom!🍎

Fran fricking knows everything!💩

GET FRANK OUT OF THE GAME

Take Fran too

Love Graham taking that foul. He was like oh shit my boy is hurt.

ROUGH EM UP MITCH

WHY the f**k is mason playing up 20 with less than 4 to go head out off ass Self

@kjayhawks said:

Because Self knows Frank is invincible and immortal!

Svi! Looking like👋👋

@chriz That's why he's hurt come march, too many minutes. No reward all risk

So long

Farewell

His Sveet are set

Goodnight

Josh killed the weird looking dragon mascot.

Not sure that Josh is even mentally capable of "protecting the merchandise" as jaybate calls it.

Atleast we shot the ball well from 3 point land tonight, other than that same issues. ESPN stats say rebounds are tied 40 a piece, which is laughable because their tallest is equal to our 4th tallest. Tons of things to work on. If we play the way we did for 30 minutes tonight, tomorrow we will lose badly. Vick was a complete ghost as was every Big man. Guards played solid for the most part, need to move the ball better and keep opposing teams from driving so easy.

I feel we didn't play small ENOUGH in this game, maybe I'm crazy though I'll need to rewatch.

And Down Goes Texas to .............Northwestern.

Not a good day for UT fans.
:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Way to go Hawks. Got to play better inside vs Georgia.

Kentucky will beat our a$$es up and down the court with their bigs if we try small ball on them.

Shockingly the BB now has more wins than FB again.

@kjayhawks rebounding and defense are mental, and I wish our big guys would consistently put more focus into their play.

@chriz I said the other day, that is all on Self. He knows the grind of the season and the wear and tear Frank had last year, but doesn't do anything differently. Puzzling for sure

@kjayhawks must be uh, Bill's fault we lose all these games, oh, I mean don't win by enough...uh, uh, yea, that's it... uh, uh, ...

@globaljaybird ok..... Said abousolutely nothing about winning or losing. Maybe you forgot how a season can wear on a guy. Anyone with common sense would agree having your best player on the court with that lead, time remaining and competition has zero net gains other than padding stats.

@globaljaybird said:

@kjayhawks must be uh, Bill's fault we lose all these games, oh, I mean don't win by enough...uh, uh, yea, that's it... uh, uh, ...

I think the point is, this game was won, now you play for the last win of the season, not turn that into a loss because your stud is worn down & out.

The funniest thing about it is where do you get its Self fault we don't win bye enough or win enough period from saying it was stupid to keep Frank in. I mean the reading comprehension is some of the worst I've ever seen.

Texas got hammered last night by 19 to Northwestern. Shaka trying to follow Charlie out the door?

Does anyone else think that the new "most interesting man" looks like an old southern Michael Phelps?

@dylans my son does only uglier than him

Shaka is trash

@kjayhawks If ya can't take a joke then maybe a therapy dog will make it better On the serious side-Bill wants his experienced players out there with Bragg, JJ, Doke, Vick, think a little b4 you accuse someone of padding stats. or being the Man From Nantucket ... especially in such a refreshingly descriptive manor- For@wissox -FU

PS IMO it doesn't require any reading comprehension to assimilate profanity that placates this ineffectual & fatuous post:

"WHY the f**k is mason playing up 20 with less than 4 to go head out off ass Self"

......

Kumbaya guys.

When I think about terrible KU losses that still sting to this day the top three is....

Shaka. Egleseder dorkface. 12-30 FTs.
