T minus 13 minutes give or take.

Will we see another off the backboard pass tonight? Probably not.

@BShark I hope so! Gonna be something fun in transition!

Last Jayhawk TV game tonight. Yay.

Let's go Hawks! Get HCBS his 600th win. :clap:

Post players should eat tonight. UMKC does not have much inside.

@RockChalkinTexas 💯💯💯💯💯💯

Anyone else having technical difficulties with watch espn app?

@benshawks08

Stream is not up yet. THANKS ZENGER. And yes it's always Zenger's fault.

@benshawks08 Yes, I am. Bummed. I'm new to IPhones and was proud of myself for making it work earlier today, and now, nothing.

Jackson bucket. Doka block on D. Vick three. Gud start.

10-3 KU. UMKC timeout.

Air 🏀

3-3 good guys❤️💙

@benshawks08 Yep, like last week it hasn't started yet. Missed the first 10 minutes of the Stanford game.

WatchESPN screen says "Your event is About to Begin, Please Stand By"

@brooksmd I watched a replay of the Stanford game and wondered why is seemed to start mid game! This sucks!

Can't get transmission. Technical difficulties. :scream:

You all r invited to my house any time! I have chili!

@Crimsonorblue22 Beam me up Scottie!!!

@brooksmd bring your booze

@Crimsonorblue22 directions please

@jessejayhawk hutch

listening on http://kuathletics.leanplayer.com. ↗ Better than nothing.

@Crimsonorblue22 Not sure it teleports.

@Crimsonorblue22 Beans or no beans?

And ESPN wonders why it's losing viewers. This crap and their politics.

@sfbahawk pinto

@sfbahawk I'll pick em out if you don't like em

Let's all go over to Zengers house and beat him up.

@Crimsonorblue22 We're talking about service with a smile.

Good D

@Crimsonorblue22 oops, too far, but thanks anyway

Dang jj! Hustle all it is!

@wissox If you didn't notice all of the espn3 games with Kansas teams are blacked out.

@sfbahawk Not here in Louisiana. I've been able to watch all of them. There's a message saying technical difficulties.

Jj⭐️🌟🔥✨⚡️💥🌭

"The Broadcast You are Watching is Experiencing Tech Difficulties" Watching? I haven't seen a flippin' second of it yet.

UMKC is really bad.

@wissox They are just listed as "subject to black out".

@brooksmd

I'm on Hanni-vision.

@BShark said:

UMKC is really bad.

Shooting is the one thing they are okay at. 4-4 from three and still losing badly.

@BShark got a url?

Ph.DrJ You heard it here first.

Bragg👎 Ll foul

@sfbahawk

Just using a radio.

UMKC 5-5 from three.

Svi 3

@BShark said:

UMKC 5-5 from three.

KU up 8 in spite of this.

6-6 from three!

@BShark to much help ends up in open look for 3

The Roos are raining threes

Svi 3

The only good thing about the "technical difficulties" is that I am paying attention to this blog. I can't when things work as advertised.

Score pls?

ESPN3 just came on!

Stream up!

Doke made a ff

Hey somebody finally figured out what port to plug into. Another lost 10 minutes.

Finally!

@brooksmd

Rocket science apparently.

Doke struggling, losing confidence

I like those Kangaroo Uni's

Svi for 3 going out to much 3

Pretty crazy pace to this game. If UMKC was human from three it's a blowout big time.

@wissox Charlie hustle did them

ESPN3 finally working...

@JayHawkFanToo everyone should email them

@Crimsonorblue22 are u sure their email doesn't have testicle difficulties

Finally got the feed that was brutal

Like losing site of your child

Them boys are shooters

@Crimsonorblue22

We would have to tell them we are Duke fans wanting to scope the competition.😄

@BeddieKU23 ha ha

@BeddieKU23 hope u don't have kids

VICK!!

Looking good nice 🏀 Movement

Is Chris Piper announcing?

@wissox yes

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

That play by Svi was sensational.

Games to fast for bragg

@wissox yes

No way Bragg is leaving

Dunk the ball bragg

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

I'd hope not.

@kjayhawks catch 🏀First!

Chris Piper have a son playing ball in Lawrence? I noticed a Piper in my Sporting News magazine.

@wissox hmmm good question

Bragg has to make that. How bout a dunk?

Lucas hedges better than anyone we have had for a couple of years.

8 of 13 from 3 is crazy

Dang Mason is so good

@BeddieKU23

Soft rims tonight.

Mitch in the game = Self does not respect the opp

Frank💯😳

Great hedge by mitch on that lass poss

Mason dropping 50 tonight lol

Josh doesn't care that we are up 19

why umkc shoot 2s

@BShark scared me!

Some of those guys shoot from 35 feet lol

17 points, 4 rebounds 3 assists for Mason :laughing:

Got a little sloppy hopefully the guys come out and put them away

KU shooting 53% from the floor, 60% from 3. Leads the rebounding 21-15. Good game to play we will meet some good shooting teams like this that we have to adjust to.

@BeddieKU23

A bunch of Stephs out there.

Really ESPN? I miss the first 11 minutes of the game and now you show Tripper Allen and I"m supposed to feel sympathy for him. Kiss it.

Joel Embiid is shooting 50% from 3 land this season. Unbelievable talent in that young man.

Still plenty of chili. Suppose to get cold here, yuck!🌬☃

@Crimsonorblue22

Going to be very cold the next couple of days. Stay warm.

@brooksmd we have had the same crappy half time show with Gary Chow the last 3 games. Phi Slamma Jaama name creator. Watched Villanova v LaSalle and LaSalle was down 4 but couldn't close it out. Second half better be on.

That passing on that first 3 was beautiful. Looked like how we attack in soccer.

Yeah ll!

Wow!! Fun!

Frank, POY

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Wow!! Fun!

JOSH JACKSON NBA JAM

JJ WOW!!!

@wissox Or maybe JJ, POY

@brooksmd

BOOM SHAKA LAKA

@BShark you live in is?

That guy left his jock on the floor when JJ went around him. AMAZING!

Get Bragg and doke going

@Crimsonorblue22

Assuming you mean KS. Yeah I am, Topeka area. I also made chili a couple days ago.

@BShark you hAve cox

1 year from now will Frank be starting in the league, bench warmer in the league, in the DLeague, or overseas?

@RockChalkinTexas I should've changed to something else. Funny they never show what NCSt did to Phi Slama Jama. One of the best shows I ever saw was when they got the guys from that NCSt team together to celebrate Jimmy V. Non-stop laughs.

@Crimsonorblue22

I can't get cable only satellite. I am in the boonies.

@Crimsonorblue22 Mitch get many min 1st half?

@globaljaybird a lil, no coleby

We are super blessed to have these terrific kids and coaches at KU!

That Josh kid on KU. Yeah him, he can play ball ok

@globaljaybird he's in

@BeddieKU23

WING U

@BShark

Best freshman at KU I have seen

@Crimsonorblue22 Maybe HCBS is playing Mitchell to push Bragg into tougher territory. Niether has the physical presence of Coleby but I know for a fact Lightfoot has a bit of a mean streak & will gladly get the floor burns when available.

@globaljaybird dang!

@globaljaybird Mitch with a block and the ball.

Hooooooly cow!

MITCH GIVIN EM A TASTE

Ok this isn't fair

NBA jams like whatt

@globaljaybird

Never have to worry about effort with Mitch.

@BeddieKU23 Too early for Tyler...

@BeddieKU23 said:

NBA jams like whatt

OH MY THE WHOLE TEAM IS ON FIRE.

Love these type of games

@globaljaybird yes

Oh my

@globaljaybird Mitch needs more Hudy-ized and some stick'um on his mits.

Coleby not playing🤔

Holy cow...when the team is hitting on all cylinder it is indeed a thing of beauty...

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Coleby not playing🤔

Well he still isn't fully right. He troopered up when Self needed it but it's best that he rests.

This is what a talented 4 guard lineup does against a team with poor defense.

Is UMKC better than the Citadel? Asking for a friend...

This may be the best team I've ever seen when they are hitting shots

@BeddieKU23 I think it's safe to say that JJ will set the standard by which future OAD's will be judged at Kansas.

Self has already called off the dogs considering the current line-up.

@brooksmd

He should be he's the whole package

@BShark Ya wouldn't put mason back in, play with 4 make it even lol

@kjayhawks said:

@BShark Ya wouldn't put mason back in, play with 4 make it even lol

I wish they would give him a few more minutes to get to 30

My rankings of freshmen at KU. 1 Wilt 2 Danny 3 Josh 4 Wigs

Wilt would be even higher if he was allowed to play.

@wissox Danny didn't do what Josh is doing in his freshmen year.

@Crimsonorblue22 & @brooksmd @BShark Thanks for the assits. Sh** Zenger has us on the blackout list here at Table Rock again...Rehawk & I think KipMcSmithers are over here in the twilight zone too. Also I think Bwag said he's in NW Arkansas also blacked out. I really didn't mind in years past when I could hang out in the shop & get Bob Davis, but now that our friends' son is playing, SZ has made it personal ...G-r-r-r-r-r ....

@wissox

Wiggins had better numbers than Manning...

Danny played with some veterans I think! Disclaimer. It was the year before I came to KU and I barely knew KU existed!

@wissox I stand corrected. Danny did do what Josh is doing. My memory played a trick on me.

Tunein is OK, but I do miss ol' Bob Davis

So much for the hi-lo.....launch em up, fellas!!!!!!!

@globaljaybird

Bob can never truly be replaced.

😳

Forgot you are our Lightfoot insider. :D

Nine minutes and 9 pts from the century mark.

@brooksmd

Advanced Tyler time is a comin

Looks like Buke been spending time shooting FT's.

@brooksmd

Yep. 50% is a massive improvement. Baby steps.

As early as Self could get in he may finish in double figures lol

Bench guys warming up. Gonna get some minutes tonite.

Svi should've handed that one back to Buke after he kicked it out.

Coleby hurt?

Lt👟

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Coleby hurt?

Not fully recovered is the better term I think. As mentioned he troopered up previously but no reason to play him in this one.

LAGERALD DONT CARE ABOUT THE SCORE EITHER

@BShark he's been playing though

@Crimsonorblue22

And dragging his foot the whole time. Seems like he will check in though. Maybe this was just about getting Mitch minutes.

SVI DUNK

Nice oop by DG and slam by Svi but bet coach not happy with the celebration instead of getting back.

Coleby can't elevate.

@BShark He's got a pretty good brace on that knee.

RIP UMKC sorry......

Sweet move by coleby

@Crimsonorblue22

His old man game is on point.

I really expected Self to be more liberal with PT by the 5 minute mark. Kind of rubbed it in leaving starters in so long.

@brooksmd giving Mitch and Bragg some time?

Coleby!

He knows how bad our deep bench is.

6 x💯

good golly Mitch 0-7

@BShark Mitchell has 2 bros. 6th grade bro is already over 6' & HS senior Miles is listed at 6'7" & is being recruited by Air Force according to Dad. Bills' getting his due tonight #600 !!

😭 ahh miss those guys!

@globaljaybird

You think there is a chance either of his brothers end up at KU as well?

What do you think Coach Self tells the other coach at the end of the game?...you scared us for about 30 seconds...?😄

I hope u guys saw the tributes to coach! 😭Wow

Now, that's how you win your 600th game. Congrats, Coach.

Next up: Nubbs. In the same kind of Kenpom range as UGA and Stanford.

@Crimsonorblue22 It wasn't Puke and Rat Face so ESPN didn't hang around for it.

@BShark BIG Bro has Lightfoot in the door so guess it depends if they are good enough to be recruited... I know Miles has an absolutely outstanding academic record. AF Academy is awful tall damn cotton.

I'm sure there will be a video somewhere. Past players congratulated coach

@brooksmd Yes I was pissed, why not show it on ESPN 3. People are watching are prob 90% ku.

@Crimsonorblue22

They started to show Dee Brown and then the stream stopped. Pretty crappy stream, lots of technical issues, run commercials in the middle of the game...oh well, it should be much better from this point forward.

@Crimsonorblue22

Assuming it makes it to youtube I will post up the link here.

@globaljaybird Correct I had a buddy go to AFA and you have to be very smart. I like Mitch, its just maddening to see someone go 0-7 from the line. I really wished he would have red shirted.

@kjayhawks But that's OK cause he knows that def, taking charges, & diving for loose balls get him higher on the pecking list with HCBS than points. Ala AWIII, BG, & CF ...

@kjayhawks

Not enough bodies. Next year I could easily see it happening but depends on the situation. Certainly if Bragg is back AND KU has Wooten to add to the class.

@globaljaybird hustle will get him far w/coach

I hope Florida beats the crap out of Dook....

@BShark With us playing small and having 4 other bigs I think would be okay most games. The only game he was truly needed was Indiana because it was a foul when I reached for my drink.

@kjayhawks

Foul trouble and potential injury situation. It's tough with only 10 scholarship players that can play.

@KUSTEVE

Testify brother Steve.

@BShark I understand your side but you can always pull the red shirt if needed. It is what it is at this point. Keeping work Mitch you'll get there.

@Crimsonorblue22 No doubt & agree @BShark not near enough manpower with Coleby still on the mend & LL not up to snuff. Some guys never fully recover from an ACL. BB players who do not get a donor or one that is smaller, sometimes the re-stretch will not allow the range of motion the game requires. And sometimes its damn tough to find a 6'10" cadaver. Sorter legs is not as tough a repair for the med personnel. & also rehab is more successful.

@KUSTEVE Yes, Yes let the hate flow thru you lol. I saw a headline on ESPN today that said don't look now but dook is getting healthy, so I really hope they lose.

@globaljaybird @Crimsonorblue22 HCBS's 600 calls for 2 fingers of CR 75th in celebration. Cheers!

@brooksmd have 1 for me!

PHOF

Michigan staying ahead of UT. Were up 10 b/4 half but UT closed to w/in 3. Now down just 2.

Pissed we didn't get to see the tribute to Coach.

Really impressed that we only let up 62 points. Usually when most teams score over 100 they let up 70 or 80 because they take so many possessions off defensively in the game knowing they can score at will. We also had a funky line up from about 8 to go on to the end with walk-ons in most of the last 3 minutes.

@RockChalkinTexas guys said a lot about how much he meant to them off the court

@kjayhawks said:

@BShark I understand your side but you can always pull the red shirt if needed. It is what it is at this point. Keeping work Mitch you'll get there.

He should definitely be serviceable in time. May never start, but then again look at Lucas so you never know. 4-5 year program/glue guys that have smarts and a bit of game to go with it are critical to program success in my book. Releford, Perry (admittedly had a lot of talent), Brady, Reed, RussRob. Gimme these players every day of the week. :older_man: :tshirt:

Yep. Sometimes just takes 2 years to fully recover as well. Though if Bragg is back to go with Preston and Doke Coleby is going to have a tough time finding minutes next year as well.

Coach Richardson said he was so impressed how unselfish our team is

@Crimsonorblue22

The ball was pinging tonight for sure until the last 6 minutes or so.

Jj said he was glad to be a part of coaches 600 wins and the players from the past

Was just thinking what young thought if he was watching this game.

@RockChalkinTexas I know its not the same, but should be on youtube very soon. Maybe even tomorrow.

Thought ll was a lil better, Bragg had a better 2 nd half, agree?

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

That he will get a lot of three point buckets and fit in well with this offense. I hope anyway.

@BShark The redshirt for Mitch will surely come sometime...This team is quite thin in the frontcourt this year & HCBS is playing Mitch whenever he can for just that reason IMO. Recall Mickleson was just not as ready for duty in March as he should have been & Bill learned a tough lesson vs WSU. A great motor is only as great as it's controlled aggression. Mitch is willing to do the dirty work & let other guys get the stats. All he wants is the win for the Jayhawks.

DG and da Bulldog a combined 12-15 on 3's. 8 rbs, 9 assists, 4 steals and 1, I said 1 TO.

@globaljaybird

Fantastic. A shame Conner didn't have the same attitude.

@BShark cf who?

@BShark Agreed a home state guy like a Tyrel is a great story for our legacy & overall program. but not meant to be for CF, or the young guy at Eudora-Ballock? Each young guy has a different ego & also goals, and hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

@globaljaybird

Oh for sure. I think CF also made a poor choice with WSU. GREGGGGG is also a hard nosed coach like Self.

I wish Ballock nothing but the best at Creighton. He loved KU, but he is a wing and also wants to play and could see how KU really has it rolling there. It might have not been until his JR year that he really saw the floor for KU, and that isn't what he wanted and why it can be so difficult to find program players because they will have options to play more at a lower level. I believe Teahan had some scholarship offers but chose to walk-on at KU instead, that's pretty special but not for everyone of course.

Congrats @CoachBillSelf on 600 wins just shows how great of a coach yu really are, glad I got to be apart of a lot of wins love ya!!08champ!

@Crimsonorblue22 The 600 wins are meaningless without making a difference in the lives of so many young men. Especially JamTray and TRob. To me that's HCBS's biggest accomplishment. Congrats Coach and looking forward to 700 and many more.

@brooksmd Well stated Mr Brooks. +:100: :thumbsup:

@brooksmd He also kept Darnell Jackson on the straight & narrow when he was very near to self destruction. VERY near!

GN guys & girls. Great to talk & even better with a "V". Will B headin for the barn after Rascal shakes some dew. On da rebound... RCJH !!

wow what an incredible game by Frank. I wish i would have been able to get to the game tonight as UMKC is my Alma Mater but unfortunately i'm stuck at work and could only catch glimpses of the game in between calls

I guess our new cheer will be Rock Chalk, GrayHawk..go Gray U...

Our colors are blue and crimson, not Mount St Helens ash gray. Adidas, stop with the color changes.

I can't believe KSU fans are falling for Bruce's charade this year but they are, and they think they will beat us is Lawrence. Mason is only slightly better than Stokes, Graham vs Brown is even and Iwundu will match Jackson. These are some things I read. Can't make this stuff up unfortunately.

@KUSTEVE those are old

@Crimsonorblue22 I can see why....lol.

@KUSTEVE

I agree with you, I guess we are old school. Programs used to have traditional colors and those were the only ones used in their uniforms but now they all have unis with colors completely unrelated to the original colors. Many schools now have black uniforms, no doubt a copy of the original Oakland Raiders, hip-hop thug mentality...how in the world does KSU or Maryland, for example, end up with Black uniforms? I guess we should consider ourselves fortunate that KU/Adidas has not yet unveiled a black uniform.
