Sooooon.

@BShark I don't like cats! Sorry

This game is a welcome distraction after the Bragg stuff.

Let's hope the Jayhawks bring a win

And don't have to put up with a lot of outside spin.

Cuz I am celebrating the birthday of my twins

And hope to open a big bottle of gin:exclamation:

My girls turned 29 today! :two_women_holding_hands:

@BShark Amen brother

@RockChalkinTexas A poet who didn't know it! Why even your feet, they show it!

@BShark need some help. How do you post on this site? All I am able to do is reply. Thanks

@jessejayhawk

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

@RockChalkinTexas happy bday, I always thought it should be a special day for moms so dble special for you!❤️💙😉✨✨

Crap! Right off!

Amigos, the game on ESPN3 is in Spanish! Can't watch on TV right now.

@wissox at least it's not Igbo

Announcer has never been in AFH?

We seem slow, rough week

@Crimsonorblue22

Pretty bad to start on D. Last couple trips have been better.

NU guards getting to the rack way to easy

@Crimsonorblue22 But at least Simons is someone we can listen to. Doesn't show as much favoritism as the peckerwoods like Fran...

@globaljaybird who is the guy that's never been here?

P & R !!

@Crimsonorblue22 never heard of him

lucas is playing well so far.

Landen came to play. Way to go.

@DanR season hi?

@Crimsonorblue22 hi, yourself!

LL has returned!!!

@DanR 👋

@DanR cracked me up

Svi for D.

Josh should have had a couple of loose balls

Head shot is A OK

@Crimsonorblue22 Instead he has a couple of turnovers.

Shoulda been an 1 for Svi

Svi driving it like Mason.

Nice lt👟

Mitch takes it instead

@Crimsonorblue22 lightfoot has his own emoticon? Nice!

They call him lightfoot because he is strong but light of foot.

Will Mitch hit his first FT, 0-7 thus far. AFH please go nuts if he does lol

@DoubleDD and he lisps? OK-- you corrected it.

@DanR

LOL

yay, mitch hit a freebie!

They call him DoubleDD because he butchers the English language but is not afraid to use the edit button......

@DanR Yes!!!

You gotta find the shooters Vick. Then compounds it with a foul on the other end.

@Crimsonorblue22 Been watchinghim close & he's trying to deny his man plus box 📦 out properly set picks solid, so is encouraging. Granted Neb is not top caliber opponent, but so far is OK. Freshman don't get much leeway with HCBS

The bigs are scoring today, Doke, Lucas, and Lightfoot. RCJH

It appears NU has picked their poison? Blood in the paint. .

DG nice?💰🚽

GOSH DARN FAROUKMANESH

If Lightfoot ever has a kid he should name him Buzz.

I strongly dislike this douchbag I don't know!

What a bunch of d-bags with this poll

@kjayhawks

For real.

Still can't believe Northern Iowa beat us.

@wissox stop!

@wissox

SCREW THAT GAME

pretty sure that's a travel in north america

Svi taking over this game.

@wissox gonna have to flag you!🇺🇸

Euro step my butt- that's a walk

How about Svi, vick better pick it up or he wont be starting

SVI.....

@Crimsonorblue22 These guys are as athletic as any KU team I can remember. Jackson's quick release reminds me of Manning.

@stoptheflop sounds good to me!

Ll!

ESPN put the reminder of the game on there, I didn't! Don't tell me to stop.

Lucas doing the same things mostly, just not being called for offensive fouls now...

no one including svi thought mason would pass that

@wissox well ok!

On a really good note, Lightfot completes his first 3 point play as a KU player which obviously included his first FT as well...1-10 and moving up. 😀

SVI! The Euro with the euro step! that was killer

Our bigs are 7-7. Lucas, Azubuike & Lightfoot haven't missed a shot.

@tundrahok

Composite post doing work!

Good call!

,jj shoot it

No charges filed against Carlton's GF according to JNew

Is that Higgins on the floor. Looks kinda heavy if it is

@wissox She was released?

@tundrahok Yessir.

A couple more pts & that's the spread .

@tundrahok SHe's hired a lawyer apparently too.

@wissox

Hopefully it gets resolved w/o lawyers.

@wissox Weird story.

Does any else wonder why the U has 3 30 for 30s when they suck and have for 10 years lol

Refs drunk

@BShark

That ship has sailed. Both parties have attorneys.

Holy cow, what is this, remind us of every KU NCAA loss day on ESPNU?

@JayHawkFanToo

You are right. I worded that wrong. Hoping they can talk it out.

Great shot by Devonte!

DG says I got you frank

Ball don't lie!🏀🏀🏀🏀💙❤️

@BShark Nah, just pig schiz in da eye...

FS1 if you want to watch end of Badgers Marquette. Getting a little nervous after being up by 18

@globaljaybird no

We are watching history this KU back court is just scary good. I hate to even think about what next year will look like? With so many with potential to leave for stardom and NBA money.

Bill was giving the fat walowitz (big bang theory) ref an earful.

@dylans I would have got a T

@globaljaybird

Haha. Not sure how they missed that call on Frank. Dude for Nubbs got him on the arm.

@DoubleDD

Heard great things about how well Newman is doing. We will see if it translates.

@DoubleDD I'm 👌 with that if they leave a NC for their legacy. Even if the entire starting 5 left we'd still make the 💃 dance...

Nice half with everyone contributing. Svi driving the ball is great, then his teammates find him for a wide open 3. Rebounding needs to improve, though.

Mason quietly with 9 points and 7 assists. Continue to shoot well 65% from the floor and 50% from 3. Ku has the edge on the glass with 19 to 14. Svi leads all scorers with 13.

The very latest from JNewell

@kjayhawks do you keep the stats or have a site for them?

Good to see Landen focused and Svi's 3s are so fun to watch now after painfully jacking them up last year. Vick needs to start clicking in on offense. Josh being too hesitant with his outside shots. Up 20 after all that :+1:

@BShark

Man thanks for warming the heart. I forgot about Newman. Newman and Vick should be a good start to rebuilding that back court.

@DoubleDD But we need some bigs to play the paint with some 🏀 balls.

@DoubleDD

Yeah he is like a secret 5 star for the 2017 class. Except he will be in his third year removed from HS.

@globaljaybird

Doka will be back and I think this lightfoot has potential stardom. Just needs to beef up a little.

@globaljaybird What do we know about Maxwell? Won't he benefit from practicing with Landen?

@wissox wonder why she was arrested and held? Makes no sense to me.

@globaljaybird as opposed to 🎾 Balls?

@Crimsonorblue22

Yea and held with no charges???

@Crimsonorblue22 The real Mc Coys !!

@stoptheflop I use ESPN usually

I digress this current KU team has that magical aura of greatness. They play such solid defense and score at will it seems. It is truly pick your poison, because somebody on KU's team is going off.

@RockChalkinTexas said:

What do we know about Maxwell?

Break glass only in case of emergency.

@kjayhawks Best site for live stats:

http://stats.statbroadcast.com/statmonitr/?id=135298 ↗

I hate they keep saying this!

@tundrahok Thanks.

Dok's free throws look better

Dg's moms in town

@RockChalkinTexas I know very little at all abt Maxwell, but LL is smart & savvy in Self ball & is quick to help the younger guys any way he can. If only LL had a quicker first step, he would end a lot of the negative comments we hear about him.

Great moves by Dok also

Poor doke is so young!

Vick still got some learning to do but hes a young fella

@globaljaybird Lucas does learn. He's been keeping the ball high, not bringing it down to his waist before shooting, like we were complaining about earlier in the year.

@tundrahok sweet move there!

Our bigs are playing solid - and not fouling!

@Crimsonorblue22 You're a minute ahead of me. Nice!

Lucaaaaaaaaaas 5/5 in ten minutes of play. He's back. ( I hope )

Pick up the pace fellas!

@stoptheflop don't doubt!

@HawkChamp this game is not about the refs! Minus the big ass foul on Mason!

@tundrahok That's a hard habit to break & lots of the kids have done it for so many years they have confidence that it is a good move when in truth it negates the height advantage & makes a 5'11' guy as defensively potent as a 6'11" guy. Tough, tough habit to change.

Missing FTs seems to be contagious for the guys - 2 straight by Mason. This will come back to bit us at some point, I'm afraid...

@HawkChamp I agree champ but Neb not an MSU or ISU either.

Wow Mason!

@globaljaybird

ISU has nothing inside.

Was that a goal tend?

@Crimsonorblue22

It was called one...

@Crimsonorblue22 Called, but NO

@BShark duh!

Throws💩😳

um......

Uh oh

Coach Self does not like that...

Teachable moment there😡

Great focus this half (sarcasm)

Rebound Dangit.

@JayHawkFanToo As well he shouldn't.... Playing very casually. Should be up by 30 at this point.

Rest of this game better be played hard

@JayHawkFanToo Often wondered how many laps a muffed dunk off the backboard costs those guys. Ouch...

Time to clean up the play, fellas.

@globaljaybird

Yeah. Svi should have just laid that in or dunk himself or passed normally to Josh. Anything but what he did really.

@globaljaybird

Coaches don't like it but your teammates love it...

It aint a playground boys pick it up

Announcer just said we've had trouble closing games out this year? Really?

There seems to be a natural tendency to relax when up big. Even the '08 team did it.

Late show up. Who's playing well today? Who sucks? Who soaked up Bragg's minutes?

@wissox not really been a problem this year

For get every thing the biggest thing for this KU team is free throws. Lets just be honest they're terrible.

@wissox

Delusional because of what he is seeing now imo.

@HawkChamp The 20 point barrier. Once they break thru the lull it can get ugly, sometimes the lull makes a game out of a laugher though...

@jaybate-1.0 Svi, Doke, LL, Vick, & Mitch getting some time

@HawkChamp True, but I don't really think of this years team as being like that. We've lost one game and nearly made a miracle comeback to win that. Instead we've won a bunch of games going away haven't we?

@jaybate-1.0 ll had a good first half

Billy Gillespie retiring because of health reasons.

@globaljaybird

Thx

@Crimsonorblue22

Scoring, rebounding, or floor game?

@JayHawkFanToo

Retiring from where?

@jaybate-1.0 scoring! Boards

all right, kick some butt this final 10 minutes

Vick not great

@jaybate-1.0

Gillispie had been coaching at Ranger College, a community college in Texas where he played in the 1970s.

Wish AWIII were here taking this beating. :smiley:

Weak foul

We are 8-19 on FT's. We need to fix this. 03 comes to mind every time we talk about missed FT's and what can happen to a team because of them.

@Crimsonorblue22

Good news on the scoring. He needed to get that going.

I like it when the arc of the three ball goes out of the video frame

@jaybate-1.0

Was that a made trey by JOSH?!!!! Way to go!!!

@jaybate-1.0 vick

Dok!

Frank still on track for 20 pts

Mason's confidence in his shot is off the charts.

At one pt our bigs were 7-7?

@DanR

Did that trey do it for Frank?

@dylans he's improving!

What's the assessment of Nebraska? Would NU be an above .500 team in the B12 this season?

@jaybate-1.0 no

@dylans

Thanks.

@Crimsonorblue22

9-9 now

Great block by landen

Is Frank favoring a foot there?

@jaybate-1.0 KSU without hustle. Gonna be .500 after tonight.

Wow, Landen's foot is feeling BETTER!!!!!

@jaybate-1.0 no dr!

Sweet ball movement

Hard to get used to the Huskers as a B12 team still.

Mean ole ll took the ball away!😳

Landen is like a new man today.

Case study?

Landen looks like he got his hard drive reloaded with last season's software.

@jaybate-1.0 Newman is redshirted

@Crimsonorblue22

I realize that. I am not sure what makes you mention it though.

We are padding their boards

@Crimsonorblue22 NIce! I was looking back thinking no one mentioned Newman except an hour ago!

@jaybate-1.0 you said ll was a new man, was kidding you

Self is having them run a lot more of the offensive actions today.

@Crimsonorblue22 They have more RBs for the game - after we had a pretty good margin at halftime - and, we've given up 14! offensive RBs - and they are definitely not a big team...

@Crimsonorblue22

Ah, my sense of humor is not keen when I am playing catch up after getting such a late start.

@DCHawker they are missing a lot of shots too

KU sleeping walking to a 20 point victory.

Go figure.

@DCHawker

They are definitely working on stuff since i have tuned in rather than trying to run up the score on this NU coach. Must be a pal of Self's, or an Okie Baller mafiosi.

2nd time they've mentioned Duke today at least.

Someone's not sliding over, not sure who it is

@Crimsonorblue22 Or, who is???

No hustle!

Self leaves our starters in too long.

Half time OU 39 - WSU 37

@JayHawkFanToo Wichita state? Washington State? Washburn State? Wyoming State?

@wissox wichita

Not exactly how you draw it up, but nice finish...

@DCHawker fun

WHY IS FRANK IN NOW?????

5 years dude, he Med red shirted

Didn't cover. Burn it down!!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

As sloppy as a half that I can remember

I called a15-20 point win, 17 is about right.

I'll take that game from Lucas and Doke.

No interviews, got to show coach k as soon as possible.

@kjayhawks

Snooze control after the first half.

@wrwlumpy

Great game from both. Doke showing some encouraging things.

Looks like Lucas is back...a very welcomed development.

@JayHawkFanToo really encouraged by how our big guys played. Solid performance

@wrwlumpy yes

FYI. Higgins is reffing the wichita st. OU game if anyone misses him.

@DanR

Funny.

FT% better than 3PT% today. FT% w/o Josh and Doke = 76%. Heh.

@DanR 😭 I so miss him, thought he died

Watching post game, classy group

@Crimsonorblue22 :sunny: :shoe:

@jaybate-1.0 said:

Ummm 2nd half of this game - - -ehhhhh not so much, Coach Self says - - -ehhh not so much, looked pretty ugly, and like he said, we are living on borrowed time with these free throws, we are lucky so far. bottom line we won, Landen played better he need to, we have to have everyone contribute, games going to start getting harder- -even next weekend at the sprint - - Davidson is a good team, we have some practice time - -Coach says surpose to be 100 shots for every missed ft - - says doke and Josh would be there all night. - - off till next Saturday ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 even Frank missed two in a row. There is still time to improve on this, so I am not very worried. However, if there is no improvement by March, then I will be concerned.

@jayballer54

Davidson is in the same range as UGA, Stanford, NUBS etc... They have a couple good players but it should be a win. 2nd half was blah but the team kinda knew that Nebraska didn't have much for them.

LL said it was his first day coming to the Fieldhouse without a boot on his foot and it felt good. His play certainly showed it!

@HawkChamp Nine games into a season means our FT shooting isn't going to improve all that much I'm afraid. Josh's FT and Doke's are just plain ugly. They've got to relearn how to shoot them I think.

@CRH107

It's almost like he was injured and that was negatively impacting his play. :thought_balloon: :thought_balloon: :thought_balloon: :thought_balloon:

@BShark it was like the boot made him think he was injured but he isn't! He's mental!

@wissox jj's shot all around is not great, he's really hesitating. He needs time off and gym time. I meant time off from school.
