Let's Get Ready To Rumbleonthekittiesssssss.....
Wow... Michael Buffer has banked $400 million just from the licensing of his trademarked phrase.
Kentucky only paid him $15,000 to do their Midnight Madness event. I believe the amount for doing the KU game is still undisclosed.
@drgnslayr So, I was wondering who Michael Buffer was. Then I remembered Google!
BTW - If you all want to make this the game thread... please do.
I was just thinking Buffer was the right one to introduce this huge fight tonight!
Purple kitty fur is going to be everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if we leave a fur trail all the way back to Lawrence!
@drgnslayr I am still waiting for that one game where we put together 2 great halves. Tonight better be the night. Bet there was more than enough blame to go around after Saturday.
RCJGKU!
YES! Me, too!
It may take two halves of basketball tonight. The kitties aren't just going to evaporate on their own.
74-71 Good Guys :smiley:
The only good thing about having an away game (even if it is in the little apple), there is no long road trip. Guys have all this week to rest. Gotta pour it on them pu&&y:cat: from the get go.
@drgnslayr A friend came over last week and tilled our garden. My girls started tomato seeds and a bunch have sprouted. Puxatawney Phil was wrong (at least in this region). Bob the Armadillo didn't see his shadow here.
Yikes.... I need to get on my seedlings! Thanks for the reminder.
76-72 good guys...
@drgnslayr Edit your title to include "Game Chat" & it will work fine
for the game thread & that way no one will miss it...
I'd love to be wrong but this seems like an easy KSU win.
@JayHawkFanToo Who ya'll got for da hawk to rock ??
@globaljaybird You got a new picture!
I have Frank for hawk to rock but I would like to see Devonte step up. He has been pretty loose with the ball and we need his shooting tonight.
@globaljaybird Hawk to Rock ===== 'tae
Can't go wrong with Mason but I think Josh will be looking for some payback.
BTW. Vegas line opened at 3-1/2 and it is now at 2-1/2; 80% + taking KU. I have KU winning by 4 and covering.
Devonte needs to step up right now. He contributes well often, then other times he reminds me of Selden doing a disappearing act.
I can't say because of Federal Jinxing Laws.
@drgnslayr said:
Better not be after our lay down loss on Saturday.
Will Self use zone? I think he has to and it's the key. If it's Wade and DJ against whoever is playing C for KU m2m watch out!
at least the game before us ended on time,
@RockChalkinTexas amen!!!
@HawkChamp Louisville lost big time - those 2 players suspended caused that loss.
Really I think we need to to protect Lucas. I'd like to see it from the jump but I'd bet you are right and Self starts m2m.
Louisville lost a couple of players because they broke team curfew rules.
what is the over/under on when they chant f*&^ KU and will ESPN fade out the sound?
I still can't believe in this day and age we have to watch some poopoo game and miss most of the first half on these overtimes.
The technology is there to split it up in coverage zones and flip the games so we don't have to miss anything.
Hope we can Bragg about our game tonight.
We need to feed the paint and use lots of shot fakes. Get their post in foul trouble. Game over.
Even the purple clowns don't like purple. They changed their court graphics to blue.
Jay doesn't think this would be an upset
@drgnslayr It looks blue to me too, but KState people call it purple.
How many times will this KU Hater get to broadcast our games?
@HawkChamp Just recognizing the home court advantage in the Big 12.
May need to put Coleby in to muscle DJ and Iwandu.
I didn't chat with ya'll the other day, but I know you were all annoyed with Fran because I was. When he started talking smack on Svi
I don't get all the TOs
First play looked like too many against ISU....
Great d to start
Thank you, LL
Fran and Higgins, wow.
I know Bill is trying to get Josh into the game early. It helps him get going....
Is the octo doom lit by candles or what?
LL was emphatic there. No soft hands.
This game is going to come down to our guards and whether or not they will play perimeter defense.
@RockChalkinTexas Yeah both my boys in 50 deg water. Too damn cold for me without waders or 90 deg outdoor temps. Rascal doesn't get too deep & hes ready for dry land. Discharge comes from bottom of the lake at a 200 ft depth/ Waaaaaaaaaay too cold for anything to swim but trout. Some of the retrievers like it but not my Bulldoggin/Boxer 7-8 mi downstream you'll find some largemouth & suckers, but they stock browns & rainbows from the hatchery abt one mi upstream.
@drgnslayr said:
This game is going to come down to our guards and whether or not they will play perimeter defense.
Can hope that it does actually come down to something.... Not an auspicious start...
Come on DG, if you're going to foul him, make it count.
Pretty ugly start
POY
Wow.... we started super soft. Looks like we just woke up from our nap.
But... if we are only going to play half a game, I want it to be the second half.
Sloppy
KU needs to slow down. Playing way too fast and making a lot of stupid turnovers playing too fast.
Crowd seems drunker than usuall
Perfect Kstate on fire, KU floundering. KU always wins these games.
@Texas-Hawk-10 And one da old fashioned way...
Bad at both ends. Someone AGAIN over helped and left Wade open. Can't leave their shooters. Just cant
Blah. Turning it off for a bit.
TO's and more TO's so far. Gotta slow down and play under control.
Way to pickup right where we left off Saturday.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree. Right now they need to slow down
@Texas-Hawk-10 said:
KU needs to slow down. Playing way too fast and making a lot of stupid turnovers playing too fast.
We're supposed to be a veteran team that can play smart and disciplined, and control tempo. Why is that so difficult for these guys???
Great defense to start and then...gone...
@Texas-Hawk-10 ISU puts no pressure and we turned it over like drunken sailors. KSU has better TO pressure than WVU and we're still being extremely loose and careless
KSU won 2 of 3 on their court now.
We miss Sherron!
Let's see if Carlton is ready to play ball.
Another shooter open
It's about that time of year in Jan/Feb where the team goes on its mid season slump. I think they're playing about as well as they can be with all the outside distractions going on.
It'd be nice if we could hit some threes
3 on 1 fast break. How does that happen?
Get Svi out of there.
@drgnslayr nope
So are we fatigued? Or are we just not awake yet?
Well I was kind of hoping Bragg was going to do something. Not so much?
Im done with this game. Tired of the fatigue excuses, poor defense and bad decision making. This is not a veteran team
@HawkChamp said:
@DCHawker coaching?
But Mason and Graham should be on the court coaches - just not getting any leadership. Don't see them talking to each other...
Svi needs to tighten up the jock or sit his ass down He needs to make the extra pass & play some def for a change
"Vick hit my mom"? Really?
HCBS "What the f are you doing" to Bragg.
Carlton is gonna rip em. Looking sharp.
Ok Bragg!
@HawkChamp Gonna miss a nice comeback.
Bragg! back to back to back possessions!
Yeah Carlton, nice board.
creepin back in...
Carlton needs to watch his fouls too.
We need our second wind already. I'm hoping that comes second half.
Frank completely out of sorts....Just waved at this guy driving by him...
Graham can go ahead and stop with those step back jumpers.
Wow a lot of banging. Hope the refs show up at the end of the game.
Johnson is one of Self's favorite players in the conference? So annoying.
Lazy they out hustling us on both ends. No account.
KSU is all pumped because they came out with the crowd acting like fools. They're running on pure adrenilin right now. They're going to run out of gas and we'll wear them down. We just have to stay in our game.
@approxinfinity I kind of Foyt thst
@kjayhawks Looks that way...
It really annoys me how FF keeps saying MEE KAI LUKE. After 3 years you think he'd get it right by now...
Let's put this in perspective. Bill wanted to save their legs, so this is the first time they have gone up and down a court since losing to ISU on Saturday.
We must be exhausted and KSU must have a huge advantage because they've had time to rest.... (sarcasm)
walk.
Johnson travels or fouls every single possession.
SHut up Fran
All we need to do is not get in foul trouble, and stick around in the game.
Surely we have a spurt or two in us eventually.
Walk
Not again.
Holy cow refs taking over
Can Svi raise his arms straight up?
5 fouls on this possession
Alright JJ. Calmed the heck down.
POY
BS calls
Carlton looks like a man today. Get him back in there.
Money man Mason.
Wooo hooo
down to 3 works for me...
Fran you can not say Svi's last name right
I have to say, having bragg back makes the foul situation slightly better
Shut up the farmers.
elbow. elbow. elbow.
@approxinfinity He needs to get out there & play like he has a pair...
@globaljaybird now that he stopped smoking, his boys can swim!
4 brave soldiers from KU there.
Finally
The hand in the armpit gets em every time, good job landen
Huge! Now time to go to work on Johnson to get his second foul!
I just love that I'm about to poop my pants look on Bruce's face. Reminds a preschooler.
DJ is a fouling machine and nothing is called...
@approxinfinity YUK !!
Much better defensive effort the past few trips - getting killed on the boards though - giving them some easy put backs...
Crowd should have paced themselves
Bill better be setting up a play to feed the post on this possession.
@globaljaybird new one for even you?
@JayHawkFanToo He like a bull in a china shop & rarely fouls out-is a joke for the refs...
@jessejayhawk Melissa McCarthy could play him :smile:
That play broke down... was supposed to be a Josh iso in the paint.
Jj needs to quit falling
nice ball movement though.
LL's wrist still taped.
Johnson totally hacked him. what a friggin rip off!
Mason stop forcing it
@drgnslayr He's like the hatchet man ...
He's not falling. He's passing out from the manure smell.
That was a sweet little give and go
Vick can fly
What happened to passing the ball?
Kinda stunning that we're only down 1 right now....
How dumb r these fans?
Sweet Vick to Bragg.
@drgnslayr I'm still trying to figure out the psychology of how a guy that looks like a complete oaf with limited coordination, flying elbows, and twinketoes makes refs swallow their whistles.
Bragg looks mean and focused.
Is Graham going to contribute anything this game???
Devonte needs to wait before working on his pro game style
Maybe he is independently wealthy and can pay the refs?
KState has committed more than 3 fouls I'm quite certain.
Of Fran u r so smart
Nice pass!
Where has this Bragg been?
I am loving the crisp screens and perfect rolls by Carlton.
Graham getting too cute lately.
WOW Josh.
FOY
Wow! JJ!
Bull Dog Jackson
@approxinfinity He better fear that reefer now damnit !
@approxinfinity that 💩 eating grin is gone!
It's always a huge advantage to have a set of fresh legs on the court this time of year.
Bragg should have a huge game.
Josh Jackson did a move I do on NBA 2k16.
Vick is an athletic freak.
Yea, Graham needs to get going. 0/1, but 4 rbs
@globaljaybird Maybe he has added a few pounds too! You know them munchies.
@drgnslayr said:
It's always a huge advantage to have a set of fresh legs on the court this time of year.
Bragg should have a huge game.
Clear head even more important than fresh legs????
@Crimsonorblue22 Its time he took this :shit: serious...
@RockChalkinTexas speaking from experience? U could probably get some legally?
@Crimsonorblue22 avoid the pot til the end of the season, play like this, and that possession charge will be like carte blanche to GMs... Lottery pick.
@Crimsonorblue22 Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. You are right there - wish I would have had some during chemo.
5 pt play fran
Way to play KU!!
My wife just screamed, "hey, Graham actually did something!"
NO FAIR. You guys are ahead of me again (pun intended)!
Every time we badmouth someone they do something great. Kstate is good
Svi is next to impossible to guard on those drives.
Frank come on
Frank looked like the old Frank on that last drive
Ha Ha Ha JJ!
No rebounding
Get off the court Bruce
Ref was giving JJ a long look there - thinking about T'ing him up...
No replay?
BS call, but I am biased!
2 stupid possessions turns 6 point lead into 3 or less.
And what a crap call, unless he was in the arc.
I hate it when our guard shoots a 3 and no one is inside the arc to even attempt a rb. Where in the hell is a least one big?
Welcome back Carlton Bragg!
@KansasComet say it again man! Awesome!
Some bad decision-making by Frank the first half - including that last shot. We had 11 seconds - could have run a play...
That was a bs foul that is why they did not show a replay that would prove Fran wrong.
Bill! Got to love that hair gel!
You know Bill, you can say Carlton was good, it's ok man.
Good bounce back
HCBS better rip them a new one and get them focused for the second half.
Welcome back Carlton Bragg! I never doubted you! Okay, now I'm lying!
KCStar will say HCBS was hiding something dark and evil in that interview.
@JayHawkFanToo I watched the replay. JJ was out of the arc, set, no doubt.
@drgnslayr hope frank settles down
Stoke and Wade 5/7 from 3. Someone want to guard them?
Like Svi and Vick cutting to basket
Why is Alfa Romeo hitting the sponsorship role so hard? Is their $37k sedan new?
@drgnslayr Devonte is broken today. Franks 3s off. Svi not hitting his.
Would be nice to see some high low re emerge this season if Bragg can be consistent when the 3s arent falling.
Frank is the only guy I don't worry about. He's a man playing with boys.
We probably won't come out overconfident 2nd half.
Ouch, Mason is 3/11 in FGs. 2/5 from 3
This IS our Achilles heel. Perimeter defense.
@stoptheflop forcing
@Crimsonorblue22 He needs to quit trying to drive into the trees. He needs to hit the ones from outside. Problem is LL can't do anything in there either. Got to get DJ in foul trouble. Put Coleby in there and maybe DJ won't be able to push him around as easily as he does LL.
Sooo, is it me or did the officials miss what looked like 2 pretty obvious charges on K-state? - -seemed pretty clear. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@stoptheflop he shot lights out last game, then game before was 3/11 whole game i think and 12/12 from the line.
@jayballer54 Iwundu and DJ?
@approxinfinity they are working on it in practice and then Self is gonna lower the boom on the rest of the ncaa b-ball world when they least expect it. Bout end of March thru early April 😁
@approxinfinity josh stopped falling down, they weren't buying it
@stoptheflop I wish he would not force the issue
@approxinfinity ya I think so. -- i'm not sure who it was but sure looked pretty obvious, Josh I thought for sure was outside the circle and dead set. - -Bragg seems to have brought a little spark. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 He laughed on the last one, pointing at his own chest. I never know if he is laughing like "Effin' Refs!" or like "I tried!"
@mayjay That's the biggest piece of:shit: newspaper in the entire Midwest-maybe the whole damn country... It was actually owned by Confederates (Edwards family) in the Civil War...lotsa dark history for that paper. Also was called the Kansas City Times a century ago... still a piece of :shit: JMO
Did Seth Greenberg just say Monte morris is gonna put you in a full Monte? Does he mean Full Nelson? LOL
@approxinfinity Nah-he meant full monty LOL
@globaljaybird I deleted my ku hoops app
@globaljaybird Didn't know that history. I enjoyed having the Times in the morning and Star in evening way, way back when. Anyone remeber when they still had Bill Vaughn and carried Mike Royko?
Brown not sure if Embiid will return by Wednesday: Joel Embiid will miss his sixth consecutive game and his ninth out of the last 10 Monday night when the 76ers play the Detroit Pistons. And Sixers coach Brett Brown will say only that the center is expected to return from a left knee bone bruise in the "not-too-distant future." Brown was asked Sunday if Embiid would be available for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs at the Wells Fargo Center.
@Crimsonorblue22 I was thinking of doing the same. Don't want the spam I have been getting.
The refs missed Johnson's second foul on Lucas.
Is this the least FT called in one half for an opponent? 3 fouls seems hard to believe when they can call that many every time DJ backs to the basket.
At least we're holding future hall of famer DWade to 10 points so far.
JJ the only one with 2 fouls. Amazing.
@JayHawkFanToo dj' 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣
@approxinfinity Only 6 TOs for us? Idiot shots don't count, I guess. 5 blocks for KSU vs 0 for the good guys.
Man I have only like 10 likes. I'm going to need to step up my game in the second half. All crap Coach is calling.
Feels like we should be kicking their butts.
@Crimsonorblue22 ?? Explain it to me.
I have two micky D's within walking distance from my house, and I've never been to either of them
Better put in our secret weapon to start the half - Light:feet:
We are going to roll these clowns second half!
Wow! A full house! Must not have been a rodeo tonight.
@mayjay Also the newspaper was allegedly deeply associated with the James Gang & the Knights of the Golden Circle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_the_Golden_Circle ↗
Live stat are displaying the KSU version that sucks. The KU version is much better.
@Crimsonorblue22 Haven't eaten at a McDonalds in over 25 years!
Time to hammer down. Big time!
FOY
FOY part 2
Here's where we need to separate the men from the sheep!
yea Fran calling him ok before he's up. Really?
He gets kicked in the face and foul on him.
Takedown my a**!
FLUSH!!
Landon with some strength finally
Lucas with madness.
Just keep feeding LL in the low post and lets get this game done early!
We were talking about Al Maguire earlier. Let's adopt his term the aircraft carrier for Landen.
Go hawks❤️💙🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀😤
Ok...here we go...
Kstate must of gotten one of those great half time speeches Bruce Weber style.
Time to take these sheepherders to the --- woodshed ...
@drgnslayr if he keeps that up-with authority- I'm in
@drgnslayr he caught and dunked!😳😤🔥🚬
That shows heart after a terrible start!
I know @HawkChamp is dying to rejoin us here. He (she?) left when we were losing 20-10.
@Crimsonorblue22 amazing, right?
@RockChalkinTexas Isn't that gonna mess up their fun?
@wissox said:
I know @HawkChamp is dying to rejoin us here. He (she?) left when we were losing 20-10.
Maybe wait until the end of the game????
@globaljaybird I don't want to know what happens in the woodshed
Jackson's 3 fouls has me more than a little worried
The massacre has just begun.
FOUL
Looked like LL got mauled to me
Foul!!
@RockChalkinTexas The archives will show my unwaivering faith after hawkchamps proclamation!
Not so strong that time
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
@DoubleDD his voice is like baylors unis
What you don't like baby diaper Yellow turds?
Wade is a stringbean - Landon has to power through him...
Two face fouls in one game?
Put them away for the next 5 mins.
Frank is exhausted.
I guess whomever fouled KSTate fouled him with his face.
Not so strong that time
Walks everytime
Was that foul #3 on Johnson?
State can stop the complaining about traveling
@drgnslayr said:
Frank is exhausted.
Unless Self plays Bragg and Lucas at same time, he's not gonna get a blow for a while since JJ has 3 fouls...
I thought we were gonna have a strike to our head, and it was foul other way.
Can fran count? 5 yrs? How can that be?
Rolling around like he got racked
We're gonna have to get a little tougher with them. They are beating us up and the fouls are on us anyway.
@drgnslayr Johnson has 2 fouls
@stoptheflop He should have 4.
Fran is seriously annoying me...
Gotta give ll a perfect pass
@stoptheflop According to my tally sheet, Johnson has 18 fouls and 42 traveling violations
They blew a whistle and Fran said Landen stepped out of bounds, but Kansas got the ball.
Was the ball already out on Johnson, or did he get the foul call?
@JayHawkFanToo Hes a jerk off
@drgnslayr out
KState must have included a bonus in the referees check tonight because they've only whistled them for fouls 5 times. If anything the way we shoot FT's it's kind of a dumb strategy.
@drgnslayr LL was pushed out.
Great
Could we get a call here please??
Time for Mitch & Coleby... oh hell...
@Crimsonorblue22 Landen isn't holding on to the ball tonight. I see they are triple teaming him when he gets the ball but he needs to pass quickly
POY
Ankle is worse than nuts. For the team, anyway.
You gotta be kidding me...
These refs blow
we need jackson back in there for rebounding
Ll drives me nuts
I think it's time for Air 3 Jayhawks.
hit in the head with a lot o meat hes fine
POY
I think frank has been playing a little rope a dope
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
Ll drives me nuts
Has at least half a dozen fumbled balls tonight... About right on average???
Fingertip push-ups for Lucas
Fran, Mason knows where the rim is without looking at it... like you know where your pot of gold is.
Nice pic n roll
@approxinfinity LOL
Walk👣👣👣👣
@Crimsonorblue22 Looked like he was on roller skates
No shortage of fouls called on KU's end, that's for sure.
11-5 foul differntial
DWade used that muscle to shove DG out of the way. I'm really getting pissed at these refs.
Can't hardly block from behind
Foul em hard so the flippin shots don't go down damnit
Someone suggested early in the season that we should have a pool for which opponent player has a career night against us. Aint that the truth!
How does it work out the Devonte in guarding Wade in the post? Who's missing their assignment on Wade?
@Crimsonorblue22 Especially by hitting the left shoulder on a right-handed shot.
@stoptheflop They switched, and we only have 1 big.
@stoptheflop Vick
Bill ripped these guys yesterday on not closing out well against ISU.
I'm expecting us to turn it up big in those final minutes.
@Crimsonorblue22 All ya do back there is foul-at least get your moneys worth
Johnson's going to get tired. We are playing everyone against him
13-5 foul differential
It's time for Bragg to take over.
Time for JJ to come back in too.
how is that not a foul
@JayHawkFanToo they're calling them so fast on us, my browser can't keep up
booing a kicked ball
Simple fast
They need to T Weber, he is almost to the paint
Dumb fans
Glad he kicked it or we would have turned it over.
2nd call of the half goes against ksuck and all the fans boo
booooooooooooooo LOL
Weber spends to entire game on the court. He's three feet out on the court during KState's offense.
Bruce , get off the court
STfU Fran
What was DG doing there - matador defense - just lucky they didn't take advantage...
Fran likes KU players getting raked across the face
Fran wish it was your head
I would be pissed if I was Bragg too.
How is that a jump ball? Bragg had possession and he got mauled
Okay, Carlton... now back it up!
Thankfully Barbara Walters never had to say "Rivalry Week".
@approxinfinity I can barely say it
clock issue my ass Bragg was taking it on the chin
A miracle!
Crowds heads assplode
Refs are losing control of this game....
This game is starting to get feisty. Time to bring in Coleby. That kid can fight.
Bruce is getting turned up.... I"m loving it!
Josh josh
Who's the soprano chick screaming her head off?
Really... that was a foul?
Clock issue my ass.
Don't even need to touch to get a foul
Only 1 foul on KSU this half?????
Well time for Vick to take over.
Big Shot Devonte. By all means, Devonte....
Devonte... wakes up for a shot!
Fran, only you disrespected Frank last year dude. STFU
I totally would have picked Devonte to be the pot head on the team
Johnson commits his 20th foul....
Bragg gets smacked all over, no foul.
JJ takes a swipe, misses everything - ball and player- quick whistle.
Hey the refs can call a foul on Kstate. and the waters part.
@Crimsonorblue22 hey, not my thing, but I have no problem with it
DJ got his 7th foul.
We need to drive the ball.
Is my tv messed up ??? Where was the foul ???
Shows Mason with just 3 TOs, but he's had at least that many bad passes to either Lucas or Bragg...
Devonte... Svi.... your number is up!
💩😡
Is over the back no longer called?
we haven't had a run yet either, Fran.
@Crimsonorblue22 the only kind of runs K State has? :poop:
DIVE DIVE DIVE
@Crimsonorblue22 GD flop
That's I'm getting a new tv. I guess my old tv doesn't show KU fouls ???
@globaljaybird frank has one every game!
I'm a tech fan...
GD Frank.
What's that offense we run?
That's right we don't run any
Horrible call Flop all the way. We'll see if ESPN shows it. I bet not
We need a second wind... again.
We are looking tired.
Self a bigger man than I. Definitely would have had a T before now. And @kjayhawks would have chest bumped an official long ago..
@BeddieKU23 dribble drive right now. Hasn't worked well this game
I've never been this aggravated leading a game in my whole life.
2 fouls called so far this half on KSU
16-6 foul differential
@HawkChamp said:
@BeddieKU23 dribble drive right now. Hasn't worked well this game
If your gonna drive at least draw a foul. Soft
@drgnslayr said:
Devonte... Svi.... your number is up!
Need at least one of them to show up - 6 and 5 points isn't going to cut it....
@BeddieKU23 a lot of standing around like we've not really seen from a BS team. Amazing what a prima donna can do...right?
If I was Self, I would have already committed a felony.
Oh well KU is still going to win this game.
Glad they showed the replay of bragg getting mutilated on the floor and the ref calling it a jump ball.
Come on, Devonte. F O C U S !
@RockChalkinTexas abt 30 more seconds
If lucas would have made that. Would have helped
LL nails them both
BPI= ESPN bullshit meter...
Come on, LL
@drgnslayr that's what he has bragg &Vick for...LOL
Instead he gets to brick free throws
Wife wants to know if Higgins is gay. (Not that there's anything wrong with that).
@BeddieKU23 Don't you think they should do that to us every time down to us the way we shoot FT's?
another missed bunny :-1:
Still no rebounding...
Landen, please keep the ball high
Hack the hell out of him, Vick.
Vick.... HOW did you not get that rebound? And was that supposed to be defense?
Lucas just stood there while iwundu made vick his bitch
Iwundu winning this game for KSuck
Awkward moment for some fans trying to get into it.
Graham our leading rebounder, with 7
@JayHawkFanToo Were worse tonight than on Sat IMO
I think Svi ought to just take off on a sprint with the ball without dribbling just to make the crowd go berserk
Gonna have to drive it downhill every possession.
Wow. this game is stupid.
Lucky
We GOT a CALL
SVI looks like shit on D just shit
five fouls and they call the last one, OK
Maybe Devonte wakes up now?
@drgnslayr said:
Maybe Devonte wakes up now?
If a contested fall away is waking up, he can stay asleep...
Why not throw a prayer
What is up with the stupid 3s....STOP DRIVE AND ATTACK
Look at that, we're in the bonus
Over and under on Jackson's 5th foul?
Bricks coming
Mason playing on heart and fumes. Man I love this kid.
Refs saw JJ with an advantage and called a foul. Gee, thanks.
Somehow we're still shooting 47%.
We've seen this scenario before jj goes to theat line in a close game under 4.. when was that oh yeah it was saturday
Since it was 16-6 on foul count, they've called 5 straight on them.
Gotta make every FT from here on out.
Tobacco Lung Cancer Road....
@drgnslayr said:
I just wish someone else would step up and give him a hand.
Josh would and could if the refs would show him some respect.
Encourage it
@truehawk93 I don't understand either...PP strategy...JMO
Not much help for Mason and Jackson on offense. We need others to step up now
Pathetic just pathetic
I dont understand how someone as confident as Josh can be so bad at freethrows.
JJ ought to be pretty embarrassed.
@approxinfinity said:
I dont understand how someone as confident as Josh can be so bad at freethrows.
Come on - he got it half way to the rim...
Poy
Mason is just cold.
BIFM
That camera angle showed zilch
@approxinfinity he kinda throws it at the rim at times.
Seriously, do we have anyone who wants the ball other than Frank? Nothing still from Svi or DG...
Hudy works wonders on Frank.
Why do we come off of Wade
That is an answer.
Thank god, Svi. I was about to throw you under the bus.
Good thing svi made that because he deserved the bench
2 broken legs
Justice
We make Wade look like his namesake
Someone tell penguin to get off the court
Even the Refs have to respect Mason
Time to pull away now.
We toyed with the little kitties long enough.
Okay, finally something from Svi - but that's after he once again was completely unaware of where the shooters are near him - he keeps getting hung up in no man's land guarding no one....
I'm going to stand for the rest, just for the hell of it.
Blue light special at KSucks - 2 for 1
Svi is ICE
POY
Mason!!!
OH Josh getting some Ref love. What gives ???
Keep attacking
FT practice
Milk the clock
If he makes the FT's ok, but run some clock JJ!
Good thing the 9th foul is a shooting one. Double bonus from here on in...
yeah no point attacking immediately if your FTs look like that
Dang how many fouls on hacky Iwundu?
Finally they drive
Hope this doesn't go to OT....
Purple hack attack
Their 60% foul shooter is 5 for 5...
Im gonna shoot FT's like that Johnson guy
Milk the clock and attack the dang rim
lol that was a great steal by Frank
What are you doing
that was ugly
Did I say I love Frank Mason?
TO Bill rest your players
call a time out for a blow, Bill
Vick hasn't missed a FT in conference play but apparently self doesn't know that
Frank looks like he's going to vomit.
@approxinfinity Me too
@approxinfinity me too
Two possessions we could've had the game clock down to 30 or 40 seconds with the same lead or better. This looks like a totally undisciplined team right now.
Frank should have pulled it out
But hard to blame him with that head of steam
doing the F KU thing
The natives are restless and the sheep scared...
@approxinfinity Watching our defense tends to do that to me too.
Here comes a 3
I'm afraid it is going to be JJ on the line down the stretch....
@drgnslayr yikes
💩
Landen!!!
Ice it here
some serious shooting oneself in the foot going on.
This is one ugly, sloppy game. But, these are the kind that HCBS seems to like most....
Wade for 3? Someone needs to get in his jock strap and lock him down
HEy Fran these refs suck
Please EMAW, your whole game is BS.
👏👏👏
What?
Fran homer for every team KU plays against...he's trash
Frank going with the Kelly Oubre shhhhhhhhhh!
foul with 30 secs? Come on Graham...keep the clock rolling
put Vick in for JJ
Graham ices it.
Perfect strategy, Bruce.... run the shot clock down then foul us!
Game...We OWN KSuck
Weber just sucks.
WTF Svi!
Lol if you want to score just find svi
Seriously, can Svi extend his arms UP against a three point attempt?
Franks hands
Hey Fran, Svi switched. He just didn't crowd him like he should have.
Wow... they have a Snacks on their bench, too!
Take care of the ball and get the ball to the FT shooters...Graham
Seriously guys, this isn't rocket science. They're down 6 with 20 seconds - defend the damned perimeter!!!!
Mason down with the flu?
@drgnslayr He barked at HCBS last game at AFH. I saw that on the replay they showed earlier.
those three kansas fans need to start the chant
Huge win
Dang KSUCK...foulfoulfoulfoulfoulfoul...this is all they know to do
Go smurf yourself fran
RCJHKU!
I HATE this part of the game. Why does the losing team get to foul the other team to their advantage?! Should be just like NFL. The right to accept or decline the foul, take it out of bounds, and run 10 seconds off the clock.
Told you 'tae was Hawk to Rock. Clutch FTs.
Good night little kitties! Thanks for beating our adversaries and please keep it up!
Rock chalk jhawk🎤
DG didn't do much all game - but props for nailing the FTs when it counted....
Throw the ball into the back court...
KSuck can't hit the broad side of their own barn when it counts
@BeddieKU23 I agree. This bodes well for this team's future. Great tough and gritty W
Crimson/blue court storming!
Get some well deserved rest this week boys!!!
What a minute...Graham traveled on the FT line. Damn refs
@Crimsonorblue22 didn't he have like 8 rebounds?
Big Win! ROAD WIN!
Ugly game, but we will take it!
@HawkChamp Yes, Devonte had 7 rbs
Poor Kstate Players. No I really mean it. Now they have to get blamed by their head coach Bruce Weber tell the media how his players didn't listen to him.
Poor kids.
I called 76-72 and KU to cover the 2-1/2 spread...close enough...
LeBron out of bounds there
Guys, we made free throws!!!
Also anyone know if Bragg is okay? He was playing well...
We got outrebounded by 11. OUCH
These Cavs highlights are crazy!
Ok, what lame excuse will the media and KSuck use this time? The whole game pretty much went their way. They blew it and they suck. Liberace can't coach any better than he can play the piano.
Markieff has grown a nice beard.
Good win and good night
We need rest...badly. Good win..we'll take it.
Any road win is a good win. Damn that Saturday game though...
@truehawk93 Can't complain about calls going against them, right?
Good night all....
And good night, Bruce!
The conference should seriously do something about Weber stepping on the court; at time he was just about stepping on the paint...

Enhhhh KSU is close and they have a good young core. They are fairly well coached too they just shot poorly today. Brown/Sneed/Wade/Stokes is a reaaaaal good 4 player group for KSU and they are all SO except Sneed who is FR. Add another post player and guard and they are a tournament team next year.
@JayHawkFanToo Maybe we drop a baby grand on him the next time he comes to AFH.
State will still be in the tournament. Thanks for being good enough to raise our RPI.
Well my friends, I will just say this, I certainly hope that these other fans from around the league will now shut up about the officiating. - -They like to say how we get all the calls, we had so many no -calls or questionable calls -it was crazy. - -Ya the end result isn't going to look that bad, but I mean at one point we had 16 fouls and they have 6 again lots of very questionable no calls , ok that's all I'll say. Big win on the road, to be honest I was worried about this game a lot of things going against us. -- Had to kind of chuckle - -Frank sssssshing the crowd, big win - -ROCK CAHLK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Starters need to get their legs back under them. There should be no going out for any of them. Ground them all and keep them out of trouble. Just can't afford to have any one of them out the rest of the way.
@jayballer54 Terrible one way officiating game. Phantom fouls from nowhere..Higgins is famous for that.
I remember a time when board rats used to say that college basketball players didn't get tired. It was impossible; they were too young for it.
@truehawk93 Oh I'm sure they will try and find something, other then the real excuse - -they got beat PERIOD - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Bragg should be the only one NOT smoking pot after this one. (Kidding, I'm not recommending anyone smoke pot, but you get my drift. No pun intended.)
Here's what I wrote when we were down big:
"KSU is all pumped because they came out with the crowd acting like fools. They’re running on pure adrenilin right now. They’re going to run out of gas and we’ll wear them down. We just have to stay in our game."
I nominate myself for the optimist prize if such a thing ever existed!
@JayHawkFanToo He's out there every game, most every play & is outta control without referee control & so far is non existent. Gets a pass cause no one takes them serious as a team.
@stoptheflop said:
@Blown Many posters still say these guys can't get tired. I see tired players
By the end of game of course Mason and Graham are tired. They play all game. It's the same reason the slack on D at times because D requires energy. Shame we don't have another ball handling guard.
Okay.. svi was atrocious on D tonite. And when do we get the man LL back. God I hate to keep harping on the kid.. but when he's proven he can do it.. we need it like never before. Savage Lucas. Come back to us savage Lucas
@cragarhawk He continues to give up WIDE OPEN Threes. It's as ridiculous as JJ's Free throws.
KState only had 2 bench points. We had 10. Bragg 6 and Vick 4

Lucas's performance is a good barometer for the quality of the opponent's bigs honestly...
Old man league tonight, only got to watch the last 15 minutes, but it looks like they showed a lot of toughness in this one. When I turned it on it was 1 foul to 7
@stoptheflop said:

Much like us they really don't have a bench.
@KUSTEVE They were pretty sad my friend, I get really sick of hearing these fans around the league same old thing oh when you play KU your playing 8. - -Like I have been telling them, what is your excuse when we play and beat you on YOUR FLOOR. Can't get it through their heads - -the conference contracts assigns these guys to these games winners just win and losers make excuses - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@drgnslayr Just what we expect in the little "ROAD" apple... LOL
For those that don't know, a road apple is a HORSE TURD !!
EFF KU HURR DURR WE OWN THIS STATE BLABLABLA SANDSTORM
Is there a team masseuse? Roger Craig use to get one after every football game and rest for two days.
@stoptheflop said:
@BShark But our 10 bench points were critical to this win. I thought Bragg played with great energy
Bragg would have been great tonight if he didn't get nicked.
@globaljaybird said:
@BShark Did Vick play 20+ minutes & get only 4 points?? Shit I want Mitch !!
Vick has been bad lately, needs more seasoning. He's probably looking at consistent 25+ mpg next year.
K-State's motto: "If you own a sheep, you're never alone."
Love beating Weber and the Grapes. I've never seen a coach whine more than Bruce Weber, and his players follow suit. Rock Chalk.
Baylor at OState will be interesting.
@stoptheflop And WVU having to travel to OU
@globaljaybird said:
@BShark Or a transfer...
I sure hope not, KU will need him next year. It's likely that we only have three guards eligible for the first semester next year and Vick is one of them.
I have faith he can manage that.
Football might turn within 5 years too.
Self praising our first shot defense tonight in the presser.
@RockChalkinTexas The We Own the State sign was just good fun. Same thing when fans say their number 1, but really their team sucks. Fans have to support their team, right?
Self accurately assessing that Jackson and Bragg going to the bench turned the game to KSU for a bit.
@BShark Surprised LL lasted the whole game. The way Johnson was beating on him he should have a cracked rib or two. I have yet to understand why a defensive player gets called if his arms aren't perfectly vertical, yet the guy with the ball can beat on him and shove him out of the way under the hoop without a call.
@stoptheflop Right on for fans supporting their team but outright lies is another thing. IMO.
Hope @Fightsongwriter made it out ok!
Very satisfying win...I think I will have a shot of Chivas to celebrate.
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
@BShark I thought Vick was decent other than missing a huge block out
He was just kind of there imo. 4 pts on 2-7 (0-2), 5 reb 1 ast 2 fouls.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said:
@BShark First shot defense was good. Need to finish the possession with a defensive rebound, though.
True bruh but KSU actually has a size edge on us this year which is weird.
Night all.
Hug those closest to you a little tighter. You don't know how much something as simple as that can be missed so much.
Good way to put it.

Completely agree, I've been preaching this for years. Happens in the pros too. Not only is it inconsistent, but it's just ugly basketball too.
hmm. everyone had a statistically better game than I thought. must me the head cold making me a grinch.
Rebounds are a hell of an equalizer.
@JayHawkFanToo My son who is a Clemson fan (yuck) had a bet on the Clemson/Bama game and won a bottle of Crown Royal Extra Rare. I brought home a sample the other day and like you I believe now it would taste rather nice.
come on go easy on our boy Svi. That cat has saved our season, um I mean their season so many times.
Nobody is perfect. Keep in mind Svi is still younger than our stud OAD Josh.
KU is what they are. A group of kids that say and believe they can win no matter what.
@RockChalkinTexas Good to see you lady.
@RockChalkinTexas Who would you rub first?
@KirkIsMyHinrich Most of those in what the first 10 minutes?
Shaking me head. Stop with the numbers. This KU team just wins. Are they unbeatable ??? no. Yet a team is going to have to bring it to win. What more can we ask for ???
KU's mantra is never say die.
Right, and some of them were over-the-top passes, which if successful would have resulted in a layup or dunk. So it's almost like a missed shot in that sense. At least, I can live with those turnovers a bit more than some of the others.
@JayHawkFanToo Now you're starting to sound like a couple other old guys I know. heh, heh... victory is sweeet-savor them all......

Good point, I always forget how young he is.
Boards killed us!
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yeah, I can't blame LL too much for his lack of point production tonite (except from the line) as he wasn't fed very well. And he had to battle Johnson and Wade for rebounds. And lopsided foul calling will effect how aggressive a player will be for rebounds under the hoop.
Right back at you. Have a peaceful night's rest.
MY perspective ??? I'm like that gal singing in the green meadows on the mountain top. You know the movie. It's a classic.
Sound of music.
LOL
@Crimsonorblue22 Like I said, when foul calling is lopsided, more on us than on them, they can be more slap-happy on rebounds.
@Crimsonorblue22 Absolutely NO hand strength .
I've about had enough of you. :kissing_heart:
Anyone watching post game know what's wrong w/gueldners nose?
Good game, Frank was great outside of the dribbling the ball off his leg lol. If we rebound and make FTS we win by 10+.
Saw where Bruce said "we kicked their butts again". Lol, yeah coach, you kicked our butts so bad that you lost. Honestly, would we expect anything else from him?

DJ and Wade both should have fouled out of this game. Meanwhile Graham and Lucas get fouls called on them when they didn't even actually touch the opponent.
It's bad when you can argue which terrible call was the worst....
Definitely should I keep going?
I do want to note that without KU's ability to draw fouls in the last 6 or so minutes the victory might not have happened. It was what 7-1 foul disparity at one point and then KSU had 5 straight calls against them so as lopsided as the calls were we definitely got a momentum swing from that standpoint
Definitely he had his feet set for at least 2 seconds, all Josh could do was laugh that's how bad it was
He was going for a video game steal on the 4th foul I agree.

Completely ridiculous. Higgins is a joke.
@BeddieKU23 they said he was in the circle.
Yeah they missed that one. I'd have to go back and see if he was or not?
@BeddieKU23 jj had retweeted it. Think I posted it. Can't get it where I'm at.
Thanks just saw it, not even fricking close!
