Let's Go Hawks. Get the win.

Time to make the donuts

No Higgins or Aunt Fran!

I need sunglasses to watch those uniforms.

Lol foul on lucas

First 2 possessions 2 TO's

Just an amazing start

And now fouls. Inauspicious start

Worst is giving up the offensive rebounds - too many to count already....

Svi playing for baylor today

Svi forgets guys have arms

Svi 2nd TO.

LL working hard inside

Down only 3

Lucas alot of effort. Don't get another quick foul

@Bwag said:

Down only 3

Lucky as heck too

Way to draw a foul dg

@BeddieKU23 said:

Svi playing for baylor today

He might as well help someone out - hasn't contributed much to us the last 3-4 games...

Looking disjointed on Offense so far.

My God, why won't Landen go up with the ball?

WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

He would get it swatted back to Lawrence against these guys. He has to play smart

@stoptheflop said:

My God, why won't Landen go up with the ball?

He tried to there, but he takes friggin' forever to gather himself and go up...

@stoptheflop said:

My God, why won't Landen go up with the ball?

Scared but finally did

Nice passing

Nice FT

Jackson making some quick passes, pretty solid. Lucas has to be ready

Good grief

LL 2 for his last 9 FT attempts...

It's sad when Jackson is better at fts then lucas lately

Goooooooood Frank!

Ugly O

That Jackson box out was nice, pushed his man way out of the play.

The other guards need to take notice.

2 points in first 4 min.

Not good

Good O there

Great play by frank

That was nice

Nice possession call Vick

Bragg atta boy!💪🏀

We will have some good runs on offense. Defense and rebounding is what wins this game

@BeddieKU23 those big boys licking their chops to block frank!! Sweet fake

Gotta drive the lane.

@Crimsonorblue22 it's there all day

Great rotation lol

Dg! Sweet fake to nobody

Such a weak call

Josh needs to quit hesitating.

Motley using his shoulder and arms to clear space...

If Frank and done another stop and up fake - there was a dunk for JJ...

Joke

Walk

Way to show up guys

If we can't score, this is a loss. Might have to go zone and press second half

Vickk

Showing up

Their zone has plenty of holes in it - just need to be patient work the ball around. Issue is going to be stopping them in the paint....

Good thing we play 2 halves

Deficit down to 4

@RockChalkinTexas said:

Gotta drive the lane.

That's where the strength of their D is

Keep up the D!!

Good d!!

Love you guys that give up

They fold under pressure

Feel like bear for dinner.

@Bwag said:

@RockChalkinTexas said:

Gotta drive the lane.

That's where the strength of their D is

Yes, but they are going for the blocks and we just have to penetrate and dish - or up fake and draw fouls....

Man got to make some shots. Good D is keeping us close.

@Bwag make them defend or foul.

Even better quick break out and passing to score the 2

Need to get as many easy baskets as possible

A big stop here would really help!

We really must give credit to the Baylor front line. They're really good. But, our guys are finding a way to keep us in this.

Duke education at its finest - The earth is really flat and we didn't land on the moon.

@RockChalkinTexas their length gives them option to just block, force tough shots over length.

Example was most recent block of Frank in lane.

Now, if he drives and takes D with him and drops like earlier to Bragg okay

Great to go against Baylors length. It will pay dividends in March

Can't believe that vick shot didn't fall

Oh no Svi. Please

Finesse mason

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Oh no Svi. Please

See if he can cut out TO's

And hit 3's

Good D LL

LL knows these guys.

@Crimsonorblue22 Cough, spit & bullshit-naysayers all abound

LL is giving it to Svi....

Motley cherry pickin?

All that momentum blown in 2 seconds

Damn lid come off

Gotta make something

Game of runs

@DCHawker said:

LL is giving it to Svi....

Wondered what that was about

37% shooting again.

@Bwag Probably that Svi let Motely get behind him...

Lost on defense Graham a bit?

Dang it

@stoptheflop Down to 35%.

Can't keep missing open shots. If those don't start falling, we aren't leaving with a W

@HawkChamp said:

Can't keep missing open shots. If those don't start falling, we aren't leaving with a W

I think we've only made one outside shot - Vick's 3....

@DCHawker correct

We locked down for about 8 straight possessions. Have to do more of that on days like this. When the ball won't fall

Need to get some outside shots to fall. Must be that puke color in the stands throwing the guys off. /s

Going to have to win the second half.

If Mitch or Dwight can get a rebound they should be on the floor this half for a warmup. Don't want them needed & cold 2nd half. Gotta be ready

@cragarhawk yes but at some point you have to score

They have 9 offensive rebounds to our 7 total rebounds....

Nice pass Svi.

Svi productive

@Bwag About not playing D when he clearly had position

Svi made up to LL

!image.png ↗

Nice finish Vick.

@Eric-san skimmer

Out of control frank

Cold cold cold

Omg are u kidding me ref

Sucks

Nice block mitch

Wow

Seems like Wainwrighthas played 10 freaking yrs

GoMitch Kick some ass!

You know it sucks when Lindsey makes a 3

Svi can't follow that

Big ft!

Rack attack

Awesome d

Oh that's not a foul. Your kidding me right

2-3 zone just shut them down & got that flush for JJ Credit Bill when he deserves it

Stop shooting ten footers

Difference in the game - Baylor five made threes. KU - just one. That HAS to change second half

@globaljaybird but can't keep leaving their shooters open

@DanR or start making them

@HawkChamp it will

@HawkChamp said:

Difference in the game - Baylor five made threes. KU - just one. That HAS to change second half

One guy with 4. Their only shooter. Hmm maybe we should guard him

Ouch: 9/26 FG's. Hard to win on the road if you shoot 30%

@stoptheflop And 14% from the 3.

Lid will come off. Just don't let up on D

Shooting like crap and we're still in it. When have we seen that before.

Reminiscent of the NOVA game last year.

How is it possible that Motley and the hyphen don't have any fouls?

@stoptheflop Still only 1 FG from outside...

Our back court is being abused

Man this isn't looking good

Guessing that was svi's guy on the oop

Set play caught em 😴 asleep

Ugh...ly

Man this isn't looking good. Oh well, still have a good shot at winning #13 and getting a one seed.

@DanR Svi asleep

@DanR Svi or Mitch take your pick

Great shot graham

Baylor is 5/10 from 3, we are 1/8

Finally.

Mason that was sweet

@Crimsonorblue22 Both in the line of fire. Time to man back up so this doesn't get outta 🤚 hand

Down 12. Only need 2:45 to make that up

Wow

Pretty sweet finish

Huge shot

Huge threes to end the half. Huge

@DanR Lecompte getting away with push off...

Beautiful ball. And a lil mo.. 6 down is manageable after that shooting half

JJ!!!!!!!

Remember we are NEVER out of the game!

@KUSTEVE and DG was huge!

Does anyone recognize where that last play is from?

@globaljaybird every trip down!!

@DanR or less

I'll take 6 down given the way we have shot the ball.

Let's see that the drew face again!

@HawkChamp it's a common late clock play for Self. National title overtime forcer 2008

Down 6..we got them right where we want them...

@Hawk8086 agreed. Could have been double digits

@cragarhawk that was the Kris Jenkins shot.

I guess it's to be expected, but we are getting killed on the boards: 22/11. Landen only has 3.

Mitch trying to guard Acuil was tough. Gotta pay these refs already jeez both of the calls on Lucas were Charmin soft.

Good grief, Bragg has 0 rebounds.

@stoptheflop I'm showing we were out boarded 17-11.

Down just 6, Baylor 50% from 3 KU 30%. I think we can turn this around.

@stoptheflop Yep Bragg ofer da half

On a good note, KU finished the half with 2 straight 3s and we get the friendly rims in the second half...Baylor's turn to get the unfriendly rims.

@HawkChamp now it's the josh Jackson shot😡 Clutch guy that can't shoot 3's😉

Sure thought LL would have more than 3 boards. He was battling hard

@stoptheflop said:

I guess it's to be expected, but we are getting killed on the boards: 22/11. Landen only has 3.

Well, Lucas barely got to play to be fair.

We got 6 points out of Frank and Devonte the first half- that will change.

@cragarhawk he was working his rear off! He's been working on his throws too! All mental

@BShark Tough to block out from da bench

@KUSTEVE

No doubt.

@Crimsonorblue22 didn't see evidence of the "throws" working paying off just yet

Playing zone hurt our rebounding. Gotta keep Lucas on the floor.

Iron eagle along with Bill raftery

my apologies- the cbs box has baylor w 17 rebounds...now they're saying 22.

Motley push off. Shocking it's not called

Refs: Don't worry Motley, you can do whatever you want.

Damn it JJ

Can't get a rebound.

Nice Dg

Prayer

Just once I'd like to see LL rip the damn rack down

@globaljaybird yeah jj

JJ

I can live with Motley shooting from there even if he makes it.

Ball screen d fails again

@globaljaybird plus infinity!

BIFM will heat up now

Come on svi

Come on defense

Motley a offensive foul every time

Graham!

Dg on now

JOSH!

Huge d by josh

Jj !💪👏👏👏

Charge!

@globaljaybird smart

@BeddieKU23 said:

Motley a offensive foul every time

Yep. Never gonna get call though. The subtle stuff that is. Charges are obvious.

@BShark said:

How can it not be called he's displacing the defender

Need to speed up the pace.

@BeddieKU23

Refs have established that they aren't calling it in this game. It's crap though.

@Crimsonorblue22 Gotta haveDG on JMO

@BShark said:

@BeddieKU23

Refs have established that they aren't calling it in this game. It's crap though.

Yupp until kansas does it

They still have more offensive rebounds than we do total rebounds. Back to the old days of Frank being the leading rebounder. JJ not doing much on the boards today. Need him to provide more board support because Svi certainly isn't going to....

Lucas is 3/3 on FG's. He's just got to shoot more.

@BeddieKU23

The first time one of our players does it. I have no doubt.

@RockChalkinTexas Rebs & TO's can do that

@stoptheflop said:

Lucas is 3/3 on FG's. He's just got to shoot more.

Enhhhh he should only shoot lay-ups/dunks.

Damn it Lucas

LL got hammered no whistle

One sided ref affair again

Dat push off tho

:shit:

Motley shoulder

Ball don't lie.

Motley pushed off and traveled.

Refs need to call the shoves

@Bwag said:

Motley pushed off and traveled.

All game.

Baylor dumb

Can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot

Need some O from Frank

Yeah!

Walk

Bragg sucks. Period

Some ugly stuff going on

Getting chippy

Joke

Mason alive

Pretty sick of Lecomte.

@BeddieKU23 Too much weed

Frank is going to have to carry us - no one else doing much...

Mason💪😉

@BShark burned again on that play

@DCHawker He can & will

Huge fts Josh come on

Seems like we r wanting it! Hmmmm

Dumb foul. Now we have to deal with svi

3 on JJ. Not good.

@globaljaybird does he realize that is's ok to dunk it?

Poor fouling what are u thinking?

@BeddieKU23 said:

Dumb foul. Now we have to deal with svi

ugggggh

Have to make shots

@BShark lucky 🍀 he wasn't over the back then

@BeddieKU23 said:

Have to make shots

Doing a good job this half.

Vick that was huge after the lazy layup attempt

Vick! Great D guys

Vick!!!!

Can u say TIED UP?

Showing some fight. 0 is my hero!

Getting stops are so important right now.

@BShark said:

@BeddieKU23 said:

Have to make shots

Doing a good job this half.

Couldn't have gotten worse. Playing free this half

Excepting the last 3 minutes and OT of the last game for DG, he and Svi have contributed nothing offensively the last 3-4 games.

Wow, what a great game. we're simply junk yard dogs...

I see a run coming

@DCHawker except excepting does count

@BeddieKU23

So did Drew. Though I guess that timeout was due to injury.

@BeddieKU23 let's do this real quick...

@KUSTEVE w/o our alpha male.

@KUSTEVE exactly. This is an elite eight grind it out game. Have to fight and execute

Down 12 on the boards, 28/16. How is this game tied?

@RockChalkinTexas we've got 5 of them...

@stoptheflop defense

@RockChalkinTexas Reminds me of my Boxer/Bulldog mix-Tough as they get & solid as they come

Nice team work!

Doesn't show up in stats

Ball movement!

@stoptheflop said:

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Fair enough - would just like the excepting to be more the norm!

Let's keep this run going. Drew using those timeouts like air

Even Hudy was standing up cheering them when Drew called time out. You hardly ever see her show emotion.

Roy would have let it balloon, lol.

WE'RE ON A BEAR HUNT....GOT EM IN OUR SIGHTS..

@RockChalkinTexas how bout SZ? Awake?

@stoptheflop ❤️💙

Expect Baylor to make a run. Have to keep playing smart and making shots

@KUSTEVE said:

WE'RE ON A BEAR HUNT....GOT EM IN OUR SIGHTS..

Bill mounting the bear yet again...

@RockChalkinTexas There's that transition speed off the rebound with the knockdown trifecta Svi has to make those shots to be valuable over Vick

what a great time for svi to finally come out of his coma....great sequence...

@HawkChamp said:

Expect Baylor to make a run. Have to keep playing smart and making shots

Nope they r going cold. Calling it

@Crimsonorblue22 he's dead to me :smiley:

@HawkChamp said:

Expect Baylor to make a run. Have to keep playing smart and making shots

Yep for sure. Motley and Lecomte are capable of runs on their own.

DAMN SVI YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT

DA foul

Damn that 3..

Walk

Wow svi you r so lazy

This Baylor run brought to you by Svi.

Sigh, svi

Nice run without JJ Good 😊 to see we're capable

REALLY GONNA CALL LUCAS FOR A TRAVEL AFTER ALL THE TRAVELING BY MOTLEY?

@BShark said:

This Baylor run brought to you by Svi.

No awareness on defense

Sure call a walk on Lucas after tat crap motley pulls?

Svi for da pine

Svi go get on the bus

LL needs a blow

Svi almost singlehandedly trying to give this game away...

Man Svi is hurting us big time today. Sit him please

Bragg in oh 💩

@DCHawker said:

Svi almost singlehandedly trying to give this game away...

Need Josh back in now.

@BShark

I think he is but didn't sub for the right guy

I like Svi, but he is not having a good game and now we are down two.

Jackson and Lucas must play smart with 3 fouls. We're going to need both of them to win this sucker.

and this is why svi needs to stay next year....he's isn't quite ready for prime time yet...

@HawkChamp said:

I like Svi, but he is not having a good game and now we are down two.

Maybe a bit of an understatement???? As many TOs as points. Bad defense. Rushed shots....

Frank with how many?

No hands carlton

Braggggggg

@BeddieKU23 Sub for FM - maybe Tyler for Svi? I don't think so

Lol its like watching a child out there

There's the biggest foul of the game

JJ has to let that one go....

Josh they always call that

Bragg awful hands

50% makes both smh

And 111111+

JJ wit 4 gotta sit now

BIFM

Are u kidding me

@BeddieKU23 said:

50% makes both smh

Of course lololol

We got bailed there - not a good possession...

Svi- trying to figure out his game. Best Ukrainian player on a team that under-performed. Has such a skill set, but besides the random game where he hits everything- jag. I see great potential, But usually those guys are plus college players. Sometimes he is my favorite, but sometimes I think he is ... regular.

wut

FM wit the bailout

Joke foul

Dat flop tho

One more for bonus

his past summer on the Ukraine team. I am no stats guy, but what is the over/under when he is on the floor?

We got bailed again....

Yesss

@BeddieKU23 2 pts OK wit us

Lucas didn't walk, his pivot foot was set.

Unbelievable vick

aLL walked big as 💩

Mason!

EFFORT

Dg not doing anything again

@tundrahok cabbage patch shuffle

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Dg not doing anything again

So, we need that excepting, right??? Guess we're not inside 3 minutes yet...

McClure for 3 LOL

@BeddieKU23 said:

McClure for 3 LOL

I mean..............

D????👀👀👀👀

Omg who's covering motley. Just lazy crap

Well guys, we let Baylor back in it with stupid plays. They're going down, unfortunately. This was a winnable game too.

Vick without raising a hand on D

LL just can't guard motley, it's too easy for him.

That and nobody is covering Motley.

We're shooting 41% from the field, 5-18 from 3 and getting killed on the boards. Not sure how we are in this, but it is still within reach....

@kjayhawks zone?

They are outshooting us from 3.....I am surprised we are this close.

Time for a couple of Jackson back to back 3's. Come on now.

@HawkChamp said:

Well guys, we let Baylor back in it with stupid plays. They're going down, unfortunately. This was a winnable game too.

Yep. Tough loss. Would have basically clinched the league with a win.

@kjayhawks said:

LL just can't guard motley, it's too easy for him.

Yep. We knew that going in at least, and Self has smartly made doubling him at times part of the game plan.

@stoptheflop somebody!

@stoptheflop I want Frank and Devonte shooting threes, not Josh at this juncture. Won't matter though

DG and Svi are a combined 2-15 from the field...

Foul situation not 😊 good. Need some stops without losing players off the floor LL or JJ on short leash

Poop refs again

Push off and lucas is called joke

Another bad play

@BShark With 4 fouls he can't

@HawkChamp said:

Another bad play

Another poor calll

And 1???

That's an and one for Josh....you know with real refs

Thank you about time

@BShark said:

That's an and one for Josh....you know with real refs

Yeah it's ridiculous. You can't miss that call, Motley was holding his arm.

Tied again.

Huge free throws

Can't foul or give up a 3

@DCHawker exceptin there?😉

Our guys refuse to lose.

Foul on breakaways should be intentional

Drew is going to draw something up look out

Just a great game by Frank - not just the 23 points, but the 8 assists and playing like a floor general...

GLUE MULTIPLE PLAYERS TO LECOMTE. CAPS LOCK FOR THE REST OF REGULATION.

And, block out!!!!

Pressure the inbounds

Guard the 3 line? Give up inside.

Or make them beat us from 3?

KU WINS

YEAH!! LL💰

Whew!

Yes!

"Effing huge win.......

YEAH LL 💰

Glad Drew called the Time Out

Another gutsy win by our guys!!!!!

Great defense on the last play!

Lucas and the miracles

Leave it to Drew to choke again

Somehow we continue to figure out a way to win!!!!

@BeddieKU23 said:

Lucas and the miracles

I like it

BEAU-TI-FUL.....

@DanR said:

Leave it to Drew to choke again

Man.... Drew had been doing well today, but no farking idea what that play was.

WAAAAAAHHHHH WE WIN AGAIN !!!

Drew is Bill's bitch again!

Huge win what a game bye Frank

Pretty remarkable - the past 7 games have finished with no more than a 6 point spread......

@RockChalkinTexas said:

Drew is Bill's bitch again!

Always and forever hon.

Big FTS by LL. Nice job!

If I was Drew I might have drawn up a play to get the ball to Motley some time in the last 2inutes

@kjayhawks said:

Huge win what a game bye Frank

Frank is the man, I hope DG assumes his role next year!

@DanR said:

If I was Drew I might have drawn up a play to get the ball to Motley some time in the last 2inutes

Ikr? Good ole Drew

Hold at home is all that's needed now...

Bruce Weber feeds Motley the ball.

Lorenzo Romar feeds Motley the ball.

@DanR that's why they lose.

A wet paper bag feeds Motley the ball.

Best week I can remember

@Bwag I knew Drew had nothin. He's been like that for. 10 freaking years. I told @DanR that Drew would draw up Ouiji board crap 💩 on his chart. He squandered as much talent as Rick Barnes. JMO

@RockChalkinTexas again? When did he stop lol?

@BeddieKU23 said:

Best week I can remember

Amazing week.

Best part of this game, Frank is BACK.

Our guys are one tough bunch. I think I'm going to celebrate with my post game milkshake :)

Ended on an 8-0 run...amazing...

@BeddieKU23 you can say that again. Tech is up on the hillbillies at half by 2. Texas losing to the pussycats here in Austin.

80% FT shooting: 16/20. Coach was right, they'll make FT's when they need to.

I told you guys...Baylor has Scott Drew so advantage KU.😇

@JayHawkFanToo Swish !

@globaljaybird

Too soon.

How tough is this team?

@Crimsonorblue22

Pretty tough.

@BShark and your shockers won

@Crimsonorblue22

Boo. Down vote.

@Crimsonorblue22 I like theirCHIP !!!

@BShark you said it!

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BShark you said it!

I hate Gregggggg and WSU. I just don't like how we match up with WSU.

@Crimsonorblue22 CBS "experts" said wsu is first 4 out...LOL

@BShark you said they wanted it more than we did. Bothers me a lot!

Will be a nice ride home to Lawrence won't it?

@Crimsonorblue22 The force is strong with this one....

@Crimsonorblue22 right ESPN has us playing WSU in the second round again

Let's enjoy this great victory folks. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This team is great.

@BShark you said the same thing about dook and kentucky.

Svi and DG icey from the floor combined for 2/18 shooting. Nice FTS bye LL after missing some late against ISU.

Did u guys see KT shaking his fists at a fan or fans? Check it out

@KUSTEVE said:

@BShark you said the same thing about dook and kentucky.

I'm a worrier.

@kjayhawks happy for him! He worked hard this game, not shown on stats

Not sure what Svi is doing well right now.

Great way to spend an early afternoon. I'll raise a :beer: to our team, coaches and all of you later.

I want to give credit to Vick: 8 pts, and 6 rbds. Great game.

@Crimsonorblue22 no wassup?

@globaljaybird son told me had to rewind

@stoptheflop said:

I want to give credit to Vick: 8 pts, and 6 rbds. Great game.

Imo Vick should start next year even if Svi comes back.

@BShark There's a fine line between worrying and being irrational. i sincerely hope we get the shlockers in round 2. paybacks are a biotch. can't wait to see lutz eat humble pie.

@stoptheflop team played good d

I apologize to the KU Buckets community in game chat during the game, but I was too busy enjoying the game from inside the Ferrell Center today. Time to start printing T-shirts and I can't wait to see KU wrap up the outright title next Saturday in Austin. Time to go celebrate this one!

@Crimsonorblue22 who is kt?

@BShark Svi played well at the start of the 2nd half, but his confidence is gone at this point

@Texas-Hawk-10 hope u had a blast! Wish I was w/you

@Texas-Hawk-10 lots of KU fans there? I heard a roar after one our late baskets to tie.

Graham 7 rbs and 4 assists. Shot just wasn't falling for him tonight.

Fran talking smack on KU in WV vs TT game.

Nova looks like the clear title favourite to me.

@kjayhawks Now what is he saying?!!

@BShark agree

@tundrahok can't remember the last time I thought Svi played well on D at all

@tundrahok Had a couple of big plays late, tho.

Watching post game, these guy are the epitome of team. Praise everyone and say things like couldn't have won w/out vick and so and so does things that don't show up on stats!

@BShark That doesn't surprise me.

I mean I'm not saying KU couldn't beat them, but there has to be a favourite. I think it's Nova. KU and Duke both look like FF teams to me.

@Crimsonorblue22 i don't speak your lingo. you have to make it simple.

Liken this team to 2012 toughness wise.. If they have it within a basket or two with a minute to go I like our chances 9 times out of 10

What if this team had Doke? HOT DAMN.

@mayjay he said after TT was called for 5 seconds that it was a lot faster 5 for WV in Lawrence.

@BShark would wsu still beat us?

@BShark if we did, maybe you'd think we were better than wichita freaking state, eh?

Baylor= oh so close, yet SOOOOO FAR AWAY

@BShark Nobody looks like the clear title favorite to me. Nova has weaknesses like every other team. They have no depth and they are a bad rebounding team.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

They are really good at getting buckets.

@kjayhawks he thinks we don't watch other games. I heard on that call if a player picks up the ball on the court and then goes over the out of bounds line the 5 sec counts as soon as he picks it up. That's why most players will throw it to ref so the 5 doesn't count till they get back there. I don't know if that's true, just what someone told me.

I think we are a better team with Coleby playing the 5 than Bragg. Bragg doesn't even try to play the 5 when he's in for Lucas. At least Coleby will bang inside; Bragg is out on the perimeter.

@stoptheflop

Coleby is a foul machine.

Lol. When was the last time Bragg logged a stat other than PF? 😊

Yeah. Look for the staff to try and add a grad transfer or land a late coaching change decommit post prospect.

Self just called Frank the NPOY on the post game radio interview.

It's such a disappointment for me. He looked poised to have a nice year this year. And it just hasn't come close to materializing

@BShark It's him or Josh Hart.

I'd go with Mason. And I rarely have I wanted a Kansas team to win a national championship as much as I want this team to. Because I think Mason deserves it.

Lol Bill. Big 12 race isn't over yet. Riiiight.

Barring a collapse (unlikely) this locks up a 1 seed too.

Has anybody beaten more top 5 or top 10 teams this year?

Stone cold winners are these Jayhawks. Finished scoring on an 8-0 run against a really good Baylor team

The KU haters are out in full force on this win. The purple pussies, hillbillies, and the sucklones are all out today. They are blaming everyone and everything except their own team.
Apparently the refs helped KU win every game this year. Every year KU gets closer to a title the cry babies whine. I'll never understand why the opposing fans can't expect their team to, um, play?
Scott Drew will never, never, I mean never beat Bill Self. His Xs and Os are and always will be atrocious. This is why Scott Drew will never beat Bill Self or win a B12 title, out right.

Great game KU...RCJHGOKU

Manning and Demon Deacs gave Dook a run today.

Close game at WVU, OT between Texas and KSU...

KSU escapes Austin 64-61

@JayHawkFanToo what channel? Longhorn net?

Tech and WVU tied with 4 seconds left...

@Crimsonorblue22

Yep. Following on ESPN. OT in Morgantown...WVU about to blow another one...

@JayHawkFanToo oh my!

@JayHawkFanToo yep WV was up 7 with 2 to go.

@kjayhawks said:

Dean Wade with another definitely not playing KU performance today. 1-5 shooting, 1 REB.

@kjayhawks I peeked over during post game thought it was over

@Texas-Hawk-10 did you notice some fans giving our bench a hard time? Townsend was pretty mad at the end.

@Texas-Hawk-10 can't wait to hear your thoughts!

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Typical Baylor trash.

If WVU loses this ISU could somehow finish third in this league.

I just heard on the post game that Self told them at halftime to just go out and have fun.

Actually, 2nd is still in play for ISU. That's crazy.

@wrwlumpy I know he said Frank is better when he doesn't draw a play up for him

Double OT!

Baylor homers blaming the refs as usual LOL. Marsha homers are also saying the zebras help KU. Biggest crybabies in history

@BShark Regarding sitting behind the opponent's bench, when I was at KU, students who got there really early could pick seats, even behind the benches. I sat and yelled one whole game at Norm Stewart and the man never responded. I sat three rows behind Missouri's benched with some fraternity members and yelled at Norm the whole game. Great fun that our students no longer get to enjoy.

@stoptheflop Gosh, how fun. But you should have pulled a Morgan Freeman move.

So for those wondering why Baylor coach Scott Drew called a timeout in the final possession against Kansas instead of letting it play out, he gave an explanation. Drew said Manu Lecomte had hurt his ankle with seven minutes left and there was concern that if he had to go to a different option he wouldn't have been able to complete the play. Baylor wanted to get the ball to Johnathan Motley. But the play didn't develop the way it wanted out of the timeout and the side out of bounds. Drew said credit Kansas' defense.

@JayHawkFanToo well ok then! Thanks coach drew! Looked like the play was dribble till the 3 sec mark and throw it up. You sure you didn't call it?😂

Repeat had to

@Crimsonorblue22 Keep that one. Put it up everytime we play them...lol.

Great gif dayum.

Fun stat: Baylor didn't score in the last 3:34

@BShark our defense had some great moments.

So much respect for Landen.

The tears of a Bayl0re fan.

Forcing turnovers really was an advantage today.

We should double more often we had great energy on certain doubles

@BeddieKU23 I thought I was watching the 08 team with all the steals and deflections.

Had boys basketball and son's birthday today
Only got to watch a bit of the first half. Hope I can watch a CBS rebroadcast. So pumped we won!

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

There was some guy behind KU's bench holding a sign up that said 8 on 5 every time Baylor was whistled for anything.

Other than that, I couldn't tell you anything because myself and most of the KU fans in the building were on the opposite side of the arena from the KU bench.

I also noticed that there was a kid in the front row of Baylor's student section that was holding up a picture of a gorilla every time a KU player went to the FT line in the second half. Had to be either ignorance or racism on his part, but either way, not a great look for Baylor or that kid.

@BShark Landen "Iceman" Lucas. Been a lot of downers on LL, my nephew is one, but by golly he stepped right up and took care of business in that last possession.

@brooksmd Has there any talk or rumors of how messed up his right thumb is?

@Texas-Hawk-10 I don't know. As far as anybody saying anything on this site I couldn't tell ya as I find the game more enjoyable without getting aggravated by the negative posts.

He does his best and he is super smart. He might not be supremely talented or athletic but it's completely fine to have players like that on the team. Self has historically done quite well with this type of player, despite that they are not his preference.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm using the old toe/finger counting method vs that new fangled common core math, don't we assure a piece of #13 if we take care of TCU vs waiting til Texas as someone else posted?

Does this loss move Baylor from the 1 line?

Topeka paper website says LL was in AFH at 1:30 a.m. after the WVU game shooting 400 FT attempts. Paid off!

@kjayhawks there is still some season left but Baylor probably needs to win the rest of the regular season and get to the finals of the Big 12 to have a chance. UNC is murdering UVA so I could see Carolina getting a 1 with the run they are on or the winner of the Pac 12.

@joeloveshawks yes Oregon is playing good right now. I don't buy in to Gonzaga they are always knocked out early.

@joeloveshawks I agree - the media will push for the ACC winner to get a one seed. I think Roy will get the last one

@mayjay that's excellent

@mayjay I heard he was still in his uniform, just stayed after game

@brooksmd yes

@brooksmd he does all those things that don't show up on the stat line.👀👀👀

@Crimsonorblue22 Great stuff girl ...

Not to be a dick I'm so proud of LL but he did go 0 for 2 from the one earlier in the game. But hes working. "We will never be perfect, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence" -Vince Lombardi.

@kjayhawks said:

Probably, and I doubt they will win out with at ISU and home for WVU remaining on their schedule.

@HawkChamp Agreed. I will be shocked if the ACC winner doesn't get a #1.

So, the Hawks are in a great position for a #1 seed. especially with the upcoming week schedule. With our 4-0 record against the top 5 this year we may have a shot at the #1 overall. What do you guys think? Does it even matter? Last year we were the overall 1 and Nova was our 2 and they were obviously not the worst 2 seed. I guess I personally just hope that we get the #1 in the Midwest so we have to possibility to go through KC regional.

@kjayhawks said:

That quote is brilliant.

@joeloveshawks I agree. I kind of have a feeling the committee will want to put Marsha in our region again. Thoughts anyone?

@HawkChamp I want them

@HawkChamp the committee is a sucker for matchups so I wouldn't be surprised at all if WSU ends up in our region as an 8/9. Personally I think that would be great. They are not nearly as scary as some of the other potential round of 32 teams we could face.

The key is holding serve at home against TCU and OU and we will win the Big 12 alone. We will likely then win at least one game in the Big 12 tourney and get a #1 seed. It still amazes me how huge it is to get a 1. Over the last few years we have seen that the 2 seed is no cake walk in the first round and I'm not just talking about losses but the toll of a close game. The 1 seed tends to be pretty fresh for their next game. Can't wait to see who we play and where we go. This team is so tough which could be special in March.
