How long will the Hillbillies / 👩🌾 game go over time constraints. Seems like all prior games do anymore. Over/under?
West Texas is gross.
I'm guessing I'll miss most of the 1st half of this one with 8 & change still to go
For some reason (SZ blackout?) my sing in never validate s for espn 3 when KU is on the app. Any other team I can watch but NO KU!
Guess I'll get it on TuneIn again
Coverage is starting on ESPNews
Seems like Wade only shows up vs us, has 5 today.
77-75 Good Guys :+1:
Ll come on
Masons had bronchitis this week
There's ll! Now make the throw!
@Crimsonorblue22 Damn LL B toB score Shazaam !!
Isn't acute bronchitis contagious?
Seems like he's better w/angle then in front of the rim?🤔
NIce play by LL. Those previous attempts were just king of slung up there.
Good start bye JJ and LL. Everyone else needs to wake up.
2 straight really bad defensive possessions....
let's keep these ft's falling
Bragg mess up the D?
Walk
None of our 3 pointers has been anywhere close to going in...
Man got to make some shots here
👀 the 🏀
Devonte!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too quick to shoot on O, guys settle for jump shots cause they're lazy...IMO JJ not that way most times. Will take his man to the rack almost everytime.
Frank needs a week off
Good help d
Vick almost got called for a charge
We r on espn now
@HawkChamp close, maybe guy was in the cylinder via jj call against ksu😳💨👏👏👏sucked
second on Ross. Good for us
Really bad defense to start.....now looking a little better.
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
Frank needs a week off
He's had 5 days, but clearly needs more rest - looks gassed already...
@HawkChamp like the fouls count fan!!
So refreshing to not have .......🤡
Yep that's right!
VICK!!!!!!!!!
Go vick
SVI!!!!!!!!
Air ball Svi!!3
He walked
Phantom foul called on Bragg
@HawkChamp Bragg 2?
@Crimsonorblue22 Dont know
Liberals not to close to Lawrence
Great hook shot by Landen
@Crimsonorblue22 I think just one. Actually, ESPN stats don't have him with any - thought he got called for one - maybe it really was a phantom call...
Landen AND ONE!!!!!!!!!
@HawkChamp you r the stat fan!
LL w/ Nice catch & shoot without the bounce, gather, or hesitation- damn only took him 5 years with Norm....DM woulda had it quicker IMO...
LL showed up today boys.
@Crimsonorblue22 I havent been able to watch the game from the beginning due to WVU and KSU
Howdy! Rock Chalk Bucketeers!
Frank looked like freshman Frank on that drive
@Crimsonorblue22 betcha?
SVI!!!!!!!!!!
@globaljaybird I know
You guys are ahead of me on the feed again :-1:
JOSH!!!!!!!
Trade 3 for 2?
Nice ball movement-NICE !!
Spurs like ball movement. Excellent
Just jump stop
@Crimsonorblue22 yes
@RockChalkinTexas We'll wait for ya...
Svi is on a roll
Air ball Svi for 3
No D on SVI & he hits...
SVI......
@globaljaybird SVI clearly an O for D sub at crunchtime... memory bank that
@globaljaybird rhyme it out
We've had some wide open 3's.....we knew it was only a matter of time before they start to go down! Leave our guys open at your peril TT!
Good to see offense spreading it around. Frank can take it easy this game if others are scoring.
It will hurt his stats (and POY chances), but I would love to see HCBS keep Frank on the bench for as much as possible this game....
JJ again
Have to get out on Evans
@RockChalkinTexas We need to pour it on so Frank can coast into the Mon showdown with WVU Gotta hold serve at AFH !!.
See how fast they made this run?
@RockChalkinTexas Fast as fajitas locos !!
Soooooooooooooooooo nice not having to listen to Aunt Fran!!!
The key to throws is for us to hold our 💨
Walk
Wow what a step back by Josh
Jj🏀🏀🏀 tough
@Crimsonorblue22 Damn, JJ is special
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad foul by Frank.
Mason😡
Evans does have nice stroke. Sweet looking FTs...
This team really killed any momentum they gained by silly fouls and a missed free throw. Can't do that on the road.
Bill may go 2 for 1 poss after the TO we'll see what kind of execution they have
Carlton!!!!!
Pathetic
Can't ever make momentum free throws
Why do we play so piss poor with a double digit lead???
Up 7 at half. I'll take it considering the mediocre defense
Not a good decision by DG - lot of time to work the ball around - settle for an early 23 footer...
Mason hasn't scored.
@BeddieKU23 thought he had a throw?
@kjayhawks QB on the bench getting a blow-7 pt good as a hundred at half time. Pour on da whoopass 2nd half.
@kjayhawks Yes. Bad finish to the half. Dumb foul by Frank, Uncharacteristic missed FT by Vick. At least we got the layup by Bragg to make it a respectable lead at half........but should be more.
He's been sick
This game will come down to the last minute again
@BeddieKU23 I don't think so
Why was DJ Johnson not playing for Ksucks?
Up 7 on the road and Mason hasn't made a basket yet. I'll take it.
@RockChalkinTexas sprained ankle
@Crimsonorblue22 They missed him badly.
When is the last time Frank had 1 point and no FGs at the half. Maybe he still isn't feeling well.
@Crimsonorblue22 I heard that also. Get him as much rest as possible
@KirkIsMyHinrich Frank been ill-we'll win easily anyway.
@RockChalkinTexas probably would have changed the game, just watched the first half
Did you all discuss our No. 1 seeding today by committee? CBS didn't even show one clip of our team. It was all Villanova.
Difference so far is that we've mostly protected the ball and they haven't - 3 TOs for us 9 for them. Defense not good otherwise - they're shooting over 50% and out rebounding us....
@RockChalkinTexas I like it. I want as little media attention as possible.
@globaljaybird Not mad at him or anything, just happy to be up by 7 with Frank not feeling his best. He's only taken 3 shots, so he hasn't really been forcing anything. He deserves a game off, honestly.
How many times is the ESPN announcer going to say " INDEED"??????
@RockChalkinTexas Its all good girl-We need the chip in March & Nova needs Jay to keep lookin :eyes: good in dem 3 piece suits ...
@globaljaybird Agree. We don't need any added pressure. We've generated enough against ourselves.
so that west virginia could win
Good showing of our fans at the game. Heard them cheering during our run.
I mute Miles Simon because I still hate the 97 Arizona team. See you all after the game.
85 today but front coming next week. I should be outside but my projects will have to wait for another hour. Giddiup Guys. Get another good half in and get on your way back home.
Good first play for LL
JOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
Frank is clearly a step or more slower than usual...
Got to rebound
Box out!
JJ wit da bold look of Koehler- FLUSH!!!
Devonte again!!
JOSH!
Lil slow on the whistle there
did Frank step on someone's foot?
Old fashion 3pt play BIFM
Hope he didn't hurt it.
Dang it
@HawkChamp 😐 IDK
@Crimsonorblue22 Guards don't box out. 4 of them around a Tech big, just watched him get the board and put back.
Vick should have stayed on Evans. Bad D
Frank has been forcing it all game. He just doesn't have his legs...
That should've been a no call, Stevenson was beyond out of control on that drive.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree. Crap call
Jackson another three
@HawkChamp said:
@DCHawker the two dont have a correlation
Well - he is more ineffectual on his drives because he's a step slow and has less elevation...
Lot of jump shots right now......
Frank! 3 fouls. Maybe he wants to sit.
Crap Svi! U gave up
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
Crap Svi! U gave up
Which he does regularly - he is just a terrible help defender...
The guys decided that defense was optional this game I guess
they just don't want it.
Svi often forgets he is 6-8.
hasn't that been every game?
@BeddieKU23 pretty sure they want it
fools gold game at its finest
I'm not an X and O guy...but I think Svi was supposed to switch on that dunk shot..
Once again get up 10, then play like fools.
Come on guys. Josh can't do it all by himself. DG and SVI need to contribute each play.
@RockChalkinTexas Devonte needs to take smart shots
these FT's should be fun lol
@tundrahok said:
Svi often forgets he is 6-8.
Forgetting suggests he knows it. He plays much smaller than 6-8. Contributes virtually nothing on the boards. He's been in most of the game and has 2 RBs - both of which bounced out to him on the perimeter. And, he doesn't block out. Really need him to play like 6-8 once in a while and help out on the interior - like JJ does....
His left to right crossover is really nice.
@BeddieKU23 Yes.....I'm holding my breath!
There u go
Just got done with sons basketball. How we looking?
We should be destroying this team. But this is a case study in how officials can influence the game.
I know it's too easy to whine about officiating, but if we could compare how other games are called, the calls going against Mason would never be fouls on the offender. Call the fouls for aggressive plays that penalize the offense and give the other team credit for flops.
JJ is almost putting the team on his back.
@approxinfinity Streaky, Up 10 at times but then falling asleep on defense.
Great answer by Frank
Like he said - how is it that we leave Evans open on the perimeter all the time....
4?
are you KIDDING ME THATS A FOUL
WOW REF DON'T GOT IT OUT FOR HIM DO YA
Got to cover their shooters.
ISU?
lol
Tech fans must feel like Falcons when they were up 28-3.
LLLL
HAHAHAHA
They are doing everything they can to let Tech win. Do urgency on KU's part
Dear Frank get better soon please.
Carlton doing OK?
Walk call was payback
Rebounding has really hurt us. Cost another foul and points here
they just don't want it
Losing this game would be absurd.
@BeddieKU23 I agree. There is no urgency
Absolutely pathetic
All too predictable. This was set up with completely one-sided officiating.
They have been over the back over and over again on rebounds.. No calls for them. Every possible ticky-tack foul for us.
@HawkChamp We just don't know how to block out - just don't get it cause you know Self preaches it...
Bad d again by Svi
svi couldn't guard my grandma
No heart
Signs of vulnerability = A game called this way,
Yes. we are vulnerable when it is 8 vs 5
They just dont care about playing defense. They are going down this afternoon.
@BeddieKU23 he's shading too much to take away the right. Guys blowing by him with the left.
Well, the game is definitely in Lubbock.
U guys are FOS lotsa time & TT will fold.
Atrocious d yet again by Svi today.
@BeddieKU23 said:
svi couldn't guard my grandma
Much as I hate to say it, I think his future is in Europe - you actually do have to be able to play D in the NBA (other than Carmelo, that is...)
This is not the same defensive effort we saw on Monday. Except for Josh, everyone else has been very mediocre.
Have to put Frank back in and get some stops, ISU all over again. How many damn times are we gonna blow leads boys??
They're shooting 52% and out rebounding us by 7....
This feels like a loss with this effort
@HawkChamp what effort and outside of JJ
FRANK!!!!
Why didn't LL go straight up with the board. Had an easy dunk...
LL big rebound and then Frank!
WHAT A PLAY!!!!
Here we Go.
OVER THE FRICKING BACK ALL DAY
How bout that effort BOYS?
@cragarhawk He's an O 4 D sub. Slow as molasses on a close out
Frank really needed that layup
A Classic???? Completely manufactured.
Mason on floor no foul
This is trash. They call nothing on Tech and we get whistled for ticky-tack fouls.
RCJGKU
BIFM takeover
Landen comes through again!
We have to get off of ESPN. They are desperate for drama. Possibly explains why these kinds of games occur.
LL 3 of play
Frank has to hit layups!!
We need #BIFM2.0 now.
Frank has to believe that they will call a foul when he is hammered on a drive to the basket.
Goal T anda foul
We just cant get stops.
Another career game Who's worse SVI or DG ??
@globaljaybird svi
So that 4th call on Frank was the worst call right? It was pretty terrible.
Oh for the days when we would lead the nation in FG% defense - usually held teams below 40% shooting.
Switch to zone. Worse d I've ever seen at any level.
@globaljaybird We bring out the best in one player in every other team :smile:
FRANK!!!
@RockChalkinTexas Usually whoever Svi is guarding
Jackson forced that TO. Great move
DG playing like a europick with SVI today.
Good D
Good boards
@Crimsonorblue22 Good both ways
Hustle play there.
They have scored way too easy in the 2nd half. Let' s see what Josh can do at the FT line...
Welp, gotta make fts and it's Josh at the line.
Knock them down, JJ.
I will try to remain positive
I will try to remain positive
I will try to remain positive
I will try to remain positive
I will try to remain positive
@globaljaybird said:

They're a combined 5 - 18 from the field - and 0-fer on stops....
josh has to make these has to
@BeddieKU23 said:

Well not to jinx it but he has been shooting well today.
Made them both
Josh!!
Good job Josh
Didn't rush them.

We need to clear out and let him drive every time...
Frank just fouled out...
Ah crap
Niem Stevens avg 6.4 pts in B12...has 22 pts today and 9 RBs? LOL
Typical against KU
bullshit
WTF
Congratulations, officials. You've taken KU's most important player out of the game with mostly garbage fouls.
Very bad move by Frank. You cant get away with that just flying into the lane and passing it. Bad, bad, bad, bad move
Was there a silly turnover then what Devonte just did? That is bad
@KirkIsMyHinrich That's the game plan. The B12 doesn't want KU to win B12 this year folks. Don't you get it? They want BU or WVU. They want a Cinderella in the dance.
DG step up!!
CONGRATS REFS YOU OFFICIALLY SUCK
Where the hell was the contact?
Phantom call
Asshole
can't get anymore biased then that
Charge and a turnover down the stretch....making it tough on ourselves.
@Crimsonorblue22 Pretty much...nothing surprises me anymore against KU
I wish Higgins was reffing this game.
Now we'll see if DG is an NBAer or what Clearly a horse💩foul on JJ
@HawkChamp said:
@BShark THat happened because of the bad turnover by Devonte
Well yeah but it was still terrible
Shooting themselves in the foot continually
Holy CRAP where is the foul on Landen
Refs are freaking slow
Could TT get anymore calls??
Another BS call
Gotta score on next possession and then get a takeaway.
JOSH!!
SAVE US JOSH
Josh again!!!
JJ STUD
Can't afford OT with Frank out.
Basically, JJ is the only one that came to play today....
FTs LANDEN
These are must make free throws by Landen
JJ needs to take the ball
shit
we get last poss
FTS PLZ JOSH
Come on Josh
We got a foul.....
Dude put the pall down got up and picked the ball back up. That's a self pass.
fts killing us
Still 1 - 1
COME ON JOSH. Make these.
You dont wait that long for a timeout. Got to go to Josh
One last chance here to win it.....but those missed 1 and 1s.......our worst fears happened.
Get it to Jackson and let him drive.
We cannot go OT again.
FTS
@HawkChamp Need to drive to some FTs regardless of the driver-I like DG as the driver but JJ has stepped up way beyond DG at crunch time JMO Take your pick JJ has earned it.
LOL
The team without the ball being able to call a timeout is dumb.
I say Graham takes the last shot.
OH MAN
Jackson is fouled! Got to make these
Alright. Here we go. Who has faith?
sgljwsgnds
Helluva screen by Lucas.
VICTORY
Crap FTs
KU survives!!!!
THANK YOU JOSH JACKSON
@globaljaybird LL decked that dude! Yeah !! WE WIN !!!
I'll take it! But we were tempting fate there by allowing them to foul JJ!
When you consider all the factors, this win ain't half bad.
Fear the Beard. This ain't Grampa Smith's Red Raiders.
GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS CRAP
Calls - or non-calls - actually went our way in the last minute and a half...
Josh Grey did not fall down on that last play, he ran into a G-D brick wall named Landen Lucas.
that was one ugly ass win.
@truehawk93 Baloney-wait till ya been married 50years...
@Texas-Hawk-10 Road wins in the Big 12 are always tough. Don't care if it's ugly, just win.
Jackson 1-3 on free throws in the last minute. The last one finally went in, to win the game. Scary to have to rely on that, though.
A win is a win but Jesus boys work on fts. It a 6 point with makes.
Self stuck with his guns. Jackson is gonna have to make them cause he's gonna have the ball in his hands
@StLJhawk said:
that was one ugly ass win.
I'll take it with a hobbled Frank and bogus refs.
@approxinfinity said:
Fear the Beard. This ain't Grampa Smith's Red Raiders.
I need to see more of a body of work, but right now he looks like a top half of the league coach.
I need a couple of :beers: after that sorry assed game. I can breathe a huge sigh of relief now. Geez.
To be clear that doesn't mean they will finish top half every year, but simply that I think he is a better in game coach than the likes of Shaka, Drew and Prohm.
Isnt it amazing that on the road and bad refs that KU can withstand multiple players having career days while having the NPOY plays sick and the rest of the team playing like crap and we still win?
@tundrahok JJ took off the diaper today. This young man is a effin stud ... His play is showin DG for what it really is - an APP St commit. Hes' had his moments but still the consistency of a Euroballer - Not NBA material. JMO
I wonder if KSU played hard against WVU today.
@HawkChamp I'm wicha...
Defense was a joke, rebounding was a joke and Mason fouled out with over 3 to go. JJ won us the game no doubt, but man him and LL could've took all the suspense outta of it.
Nope lol. I need to see more to see if he is top half. Bruce has actually shown me a fair bit this year. KSU plays great team ball they just don't have the horses. Which is squarely on Bruce.
Composite coach ranks are different than in-game and crootin individually.
Bruce is top half in-game but DEAD LAST in crootin in this league.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said:
@StLJhawk Ugly win > pretty loss a million times out of a million.
Absolutely. There are no bad road wins. Especially with Frank not at full speed, evidently.
JJ wins it at the line, go figure!
@Texas-Hawk-10 it's a wonder the refs didn't find something to blow the fricking whistle on those last few secs
Wins a win. Next
@kjayhawks Lucas didn't help us from the line.
One positive to the officials calling ticky tack fouls against the front runner for National Player of the year is that Mason only had to play 26 minutes. Jayhawks have a quick turnaround playing WVU on Monday, so hopefully Mason is ready to go for that game.
@kjayhawks said:
Defense was a joke, rebounding was a joke and Mason fouled out with over 3 to go. JJ won us the game no doubt, but man him and LL could've took all the suspense outta of it.
Only out boarded by 6 fwiw and with the way the refs were not calling any rebounding fouls on TTU I can live with that.
12-15 2-4 5-7 4 7 11 4 1 0 1 2 31
BAH GAWD KING
Stat line said frank had a bad day ?
@globaljaybird won't argue that. And he finished through contact at least once.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I guess that LL set a legal screen. Damn! LL was great today doing only what coach asks him to do.
Oh and I wasn't on when they mentioned it on air but Liberal, KS is closer to Lubbock than Lawrence. #awfulannouncing
@wrwlumpy said:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I guess that LL set a legal screen. Damn! LL was great today doing only what coach asks him to do.
Lando is a rock. Almost killed us with FTs but other than that he was great today. Lucas great which is do all the little things and don't miss too many bunnies.
Considering how floppy Tech was today, I'm not sure Lucas set THAT hard of a screen. It was a solid screen, though.
This team looks like they can win it all at times and then looks like a team that could be the first one seed to lose in the first round all in the same game.
@globaljaybird 31, 11, and 4 plus good defense for a freshman playing a road game. What a stud.
Big win when you can find a way to win when the one who has led you all year has miserable game. - -Frank only 6 pts and Zero assists, when is the last time Frank has not had an assist? Man we have had more close games this year then I can remember in recent history. - -One thing for sure this should help us come in the NCAA cause we have had plenty of experience in close games.
Well we have to pull for Tech this week, they have Baylor, & West Virginia so we need to become Tech fans, time to move on - BIG time game Monday - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@jayballer54 and I'll be there!! 🏀💙❤️
@globaljaybird thanks. Didn't get to watch. Seemingly the bug is making its way through the team starting w lando vs Texas
Svis defense seems to get worse bye the game, dude gets more drive byes than a Saturday night in Compton.
@kjayhawks Yep, slow as hell on closeouts & destined for Euroball. Guess that's OK with him but I'd be surprised if he's even a fringe NBAer If he is, it'll be because of his 3 pt shot & that has to improve a lot. JMO
Just read -- We with our win today, KU is 7-1 in Big 12 games decided by single digits ------------ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@globaljaybird ya it sucks because he has improved so much on offense but hasn't really improved on that end. I thought we should've gone zone, I'm not sure we ever did.
@kjayhawks I did not see it but I had many distractions. Don't think Bill is big on showing it when he can get by without it. Element of surprise is part of it with HCBS IMO.
JOSH JACKSON IS THE EFFING MAN!!!
ACTION FREEKING JACKSON!!!
HE MADE ONE !!!!!!!
@globaljaybird I agree that 12 team used it a ton in the tournament. This may do the same so you don't wanna show it till later.
I felt the same way about Svi getting beat on the backdoor cuts, but both times, Vick over played the man with the ball. Svi has to switch quicker and not trust Vick to stay in front of his man. Svi had a bad game today. Coach will stick with Svi, because he is the defensive equal of Vick but superior on offense. Self has no one else to put in when Frank fouls out. Thanks to Devonte, Landon and Josh for taking over in the crunch. Maybe that last free throw will turn Josh around at the line.
@globaljaybird At 26 yrs and counting
@kjayhawks we did, hit a 3 on us
All three players were spectacular!
@truehawk93 my condolensces...
@kjayhawks We went zone for 1 or 2 possessions in middle of second half.
@globaljaybird Had to work the range today so had to TIVO the game. Peeked on net to see what the score was about 3:30. Made it much easier to watch the game when I got home even though KSucks/WGinny went long and missed the first 7 minutes. TTU was lucky the Bulldog wasn't up to par. Only thing that kept them in the game.
Anyone watching Gonzaga? Seems like St. Mary's would greatly benefit from going zone - they have been getting destroyed all game inside.
@HawkChamp you need a cool KU avi??
@Crimsonorblue22 maybe. I'll look for one sometime
@Crimsonorblue22 you watching Gonzaga?
@HawkChamp nova
@Crimsonorblue22 they really took it to Xavier - haven't been impressed by them though. Definitely not a top ten team - not sure if they are even a top 25 team.
@HawkChamp nova not a not 25 team?
@HawkChamp definitely not as exciting as our games
@Crimsonorblue22 no xavier
