Lil early. Good luck Hawks.

My hawk to rock: Landen Lucas

Hoi Hawks?

@Blown

We're playing Hoiball this year!

@BShark WTH is HOI Ball?????

@jessejayhawk

Fred Hoiberg 4 out 1 in jack up threes.

@BShark Would prefer that they play Self Ball. LOL

@jessejayhawk

Don't have the horses inside for it this year.

Have a feeling we are going to drop a truck full of pain on UC Davis today.

@approxinfinity

Should be a comfortable win.

Time to shine, Frank

KU Hawks!

I'm so geeked! Here we go!

Alright folks here's to an epic journey the next few weeks! All positive vibes from here on

Time for a quick watch

Finally. Jayhawks in the dance, game time. Th.e only negative of a #1 seed, and after so many close games this year, this probably isn't a bad thing, but the 1-16 games are quite the snoozefest usually.

@wissox

I will happily take a snoozer Hawks win.

CBS can't even let this go

Bust a smile Stoneface Mase! Destiny awaits.

🐦 View Tweet

Don't worry Markese the wait is almost over!

@BShark Watched some of the UC Davis "play in" game and they do have a couple of pretty talented players. The rest of the roster, not so great. Don't think they can compete with the Jayhawks but they can give us a good test. The Moneke kid is pretty damn good but LL should be able to negate his ability.

@BeddieKU23

CBS can piss right off along with the Star.

Good D!

@BShark you put my feelings into words

What if we don't score a point?

Make open shots.

Get that lid off the basket, jeez

Unlucky not to make that

@wissox

Seems sub optimal.

@wissox said:

What if we don't score a point?

As long as they don't either, we go into overtime!!!

Getting good looks, just gotta knock the rust off.

@wissox 1

@Texas-Hawk-10

Yep. They will fall eventually.

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@wissox 1

Whew

There we go. Loving this d

1-0 might win this

@approxinfinity

SARAN WRAP

The good news is that we at least appear to be much more engaged on the defensive end. Still a bit tight on O....

Not used to hearing KU has a size advantage over anyone this year.

Rough start offensively.

@Texas-Hawk-10

Indeed. UC Davis is tiny though.

POY

Consensus #1 recruit? Oh contraire, ESPNike had Giles.

@BShark Consensus means majority, not unanimous.

Bragg sucks period

@BeddieKU23

That was tough to watch.

Great spin by mason that's one tough shot

No foul there. Looked like O player created contact with forearm.

@Bwag yeah missing open shots.

@BShark yeah heard that too. But what does ESPN know. Isn't it nice watching basketball on another network?

@approxinfinity like Kevin Harlan

@approxinfinity

Very glad ESPN doesn't have the tournament.

So the typical slow start off the long break.

KU not playing loose.

UCD really doesn't have much - we need to win this by 20 or 30. I don't want to see anything like the Villanova and Gonzaga games where it was basically tied at half. Not sure I can believe i'm saying this, but we should be going down low to LL or JJ every time down the court.

@BShark Agree.

@DoubleDD yep slow start.

KU needs to get into the paint.

Self should tell them to start now...

With the floater Mason has passed Perry Ellis for 8th on the all time scoring list. Very sloppy offensively, too many TOs.

aaaand trailing

I assume we won't shoot 5% for the game

Shots not falling, drive...

Maybe I shouldn't have asked to play this former Bradley coach again...

Boom

Getting going now...seeing it go in the hole

Lid's off now hopefully

Carltons fine. We're gonna need him at some point in this tourney.

Spoke too soon...

Good guess number 11

Not set

Oh my god what a Horrible horrible call

BAD call

Lansing Kansas native in the game for UC Davis

Announcers are clueless...

OK, that charge was BS

Defense has loosened up

Check this guys pockets

Omg what a pathetic call

Same ref make both charge calls?

Step way back there Graham.!

Well, looks like the first half is the sloppy half

BIG TIME D TAE

@globaljaybird yep

Foul on?

Svi lost his man again

@HawkChamp said:

Well, looks like the first half is the sloppy half

Yeah...every starter has 1 TO for us.

@BShark said:

Lansing Kansas native in the game for UC Davis

And playing like a typical omg I'm playing KU kid

@BeddieKU23 it's like clockwork isn't it?

It seems if you can just get in front of the offensive player it's a charge?

@HawkChamp said:

@BeddieKU23 it's like clockwork isn't it?

Yupp. Tonight's that kids night

@StLJhawk said:

Svi lost his man again

Surprise!

@BShark get rid of the hoi in the title!

@DoubleDD the first was a charge. Not sure about the second.

Our defense sucks, and it has almost all year. Ugh.

Would love to start seeing Mason and Jackson the ball, but this is how the game will be called, that may not be a great option tonight.

@Crimsonorblue22

Nuuuu. They are playing Hoiball atm...

The charge on Graham wasn't even close he basically ran into Devonte

@hawkmoon2020 part of it is gambling. Schneider got that layup because Frank went for the steal

5-1 on TO"s

5-2 on PF's

Seems need to get the ball inside and back out...but we don't often throw it in there when we could...realize that hasn't been our game this year.

@hawkmoon2020 said:

Our defense sucks, and it has almost all year. Ugh.

Yep...

11- 4 advantage on boards though

Trying to remember the foul, but it was a shooting foul?

Inside out there...on the drive into the lane

Need to post up JJ a few times

Pure. Get Svi set and hit him in the hands and he's automatic

I think KU got lucky on that OB call

@DanR or that!

Ohhhhhh JJ, y'all in big big trouble

@Texas-Hawk-10 we are shooting 50% from the floor and 38% from 3, turnovers are the issue.

Finally Svi!

I'm gonna miss those lobs to JJ next year

Svi isn't set on a lot of those 3s - rushing the shot...

Gotta take advantage of thos extra chances

Rebound percentage up and shot percentage down after that hot mess

Threw away lots of opportunities on that last Offensive possession.

@DCHawker said:

Svi isn't set on a lot of those 3s - rushing the shot...

He needs to get on track.

Lansing kid gonna kill us

Kind of how the first half has gone. Had five chances on that trip

Lid's back on the basket

While I like the other guys, Reggie Miller can go board a spaceship back to his ferrengi homeplanet.

Lazy jump shot after another

@Texas-Hawk-10 just get the win. Better today than Sunday

I was really kind of hoping Tyler Self would be in by now.

There defense is bothering us like we are playing west Virginia. Stop being soft with the ball

@wissox lol

@Texas-Hawk-10 Good grief.

@HawkChamp said:

Kind of how the first half has gone. Had five chances on that trip

And those 5 chances were due to great work/hustle...just couldn't capitalize.

@BeddieKU23 said:

There defense is bothering us like we are playing west Virginia. Stop being soft with the ball

Pretty stupid

What is with these rushed outside jumpers. Drive the ball or feed the post. This is one team where we can dominate inside and draw lots and lots of fouls. I don't get what is going through their collective heads right now. Sped up as HCBS would say, but all self-inflicted...

Settling for threes

What's the chance we get a stop here

We're down...really!

Lol 0

Well we look better than Nova did early lol. Just need a steal and fast break to get us going.

Our rebounding is awesome, which wouldn't be if we weren't missing so many shots

Better lucky than good on that one.

Dr. J called and wants a royalty check, JJ

Smooth JJ

Not sure why that body up on Josh driving wasn't a foul?

But I'd rather take the 2 than trip to FT line.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I'm going w/good

@kjayhawks yeah nova was down most of the first half

Have we forced a single defensive turnover yet? My eyes say not even close

KU is playing with it's food.

UC davis just got t-d up for arguing that last call.

Feels like about 5 minutes of basketball and and 25 minutes of commercials

@BeddieKU23 said we had 5 they had 1 earlier

Looking for style points instead of just bringing the wood.

@BeddieKU23 our first few d stands forced bad shots

@BeddieKU23 said:

Have we forced a single defensive turnover yet? My eyes say not even close

Time to pick up the intensity on D. no one has 2 fouls yet.

@DanR said:

Feels like about 5 minutes of basketball and and 25 minutes of commercials

Per usual.

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BeddieKU23 said we had 5 they had 1 earlier

UC Davis refs alert.

@DanR said:

Feels like about 5 minutes of basketball and and 25 minutes of commercials

Gotta pay the bills somehow

What was that all about?

@BeddieKU23 said:

Have we forced a single defensive turnover yet? My eyes say not even close

Don't know about defensive, but they only have 1 TO

Get the feeling Svi wants badly to contribute but afraid of his shot

Garbage

These refs suck donkey dong

Hell, next time just put the shoulder down and send the kid into the stands, Frank

Frank didn't see him?

Here we go boys!!!

Wow JJ

JJ come to play....

@DanR said:

Hell, next time just put the shoulder down and send the kid into the stands, Frank

If they are going to call that kinda garbage, yeah.

Hey coach good technical!!

@BeddieKU23 said:

Wow JJ

@DCHawker said:

JJ come to play....

Incredible. Can't believe I doubted if his head would be in the game today!!!!!

Turning it on now, keep it up and stretch the lead to 15-20 by halftime.

That looked like a good block

@Texas-Hawk-10

Should happen the team just needs to remain focused.

So I'm doing the live thread over at the KC paper with Jesse also. One of the other guys Vahe Gregorian who works at that paper puts a link to a Missouri womens buzzer beater on the thread. I said, "Why are you putting crap about missouri womens basketball on our game thread?"

Svi shooting is a struggle

@Texas-Hawk-10 said:

Turning it on now, keep it up and stretch the lead to 15-20 by halftime.

And not the more typical, immediately give most of it back....

Foul much

Wow JJ

@BeddieKU23

UC Davis is incapable of fouling obviously.

Big doggg

We're playing street ball it seems.

@wissox I deleted all my star threads! Jesse included

@wissox Why do you waste time on the crap 💩 KC star ⭐️ site ??? They are The ENEMY!!

@globaljaybird

Boycott that KC RAG!!!

LL Beast Mode

POY

Frank is so acrobatic they don't call the foul on his defender because he still scores easily

That alleyoop though...

why did Frank fall down. That was weird. Grayson... Grayson... Grayson?

Amazing mason. Period

That was Frank Mason ladies and gentlemen: the player of the year

JJ and BIFM had some amazing plays so far.

@DanR Seemed the dude had fallen in front of him and he wanted to avoid him. Strange play indeed.

So dang proud of him! Going be a sad day when he's gone!

At some point during this tournament we are going to need at least one of Vick and Svi to step up. Not just avoid the negative plays, but actually be value added on the court....

@wissox Jessie WHO?

That sounded like he was going to die?

@DCHawker much of that is hitting shots.

@DCHawker Vick will def find a time to shine. I hope Svi does but not sure. feels like he's still figuring stuff out. Not good.

@BShark UC Davis has 9 to our 8, only reason it's contest is our silly turnovers.

@globaljaybird What do you mean? You don't like him anymore?

@kjayhawks charges

@HawkChamp said:

@DCHawker much of that is hitting shots.

Yeah - but contribute in other areas if the shots aren't falling. Not put your head down with you tail between your legs...

@DanR What did happen there.?

@Crimsonorblue22 so two bad calls trump our 9 turns. I think one was a charge, one wasn't. No big deal.

Starters 38, bench 0

Bad call there.

Looked like the perfect trap?

@wissox said:

Starters 38, bench 0

Bench???

Umm bailout

Welp, CBS online stream is crapping out, time to go watch the Schlocks on CBS.

Moneke throwing his body backwards at the basket and bailed out with a foul

@DCHawker reserves haven't scored

Maybe Vick will get going here now.

@wissox said:

@DCHawker reserves haven't scored

I know - was trying to be funny....obviously not succeeding...

So hows everyones bracket doing?

Anyone notice the picture behind Charles in the studio is Jeff Graves?

@DCHawker Sorry, I had a long day, missed the humor, but don't worry, that's not a new occurance!

@Eric-san I had SMU in final four. Not good.

@kjayhawks didn't get that

@Bwag said:

Maybe Vick will get going here now.

That lob/dunk should help

You can telegraph the lob when your recipient can jump 2 feet higher than the other team.

Who's up for the next alleyoop?

Lucas showing some moves there.

Don't want to have to depend on that though

Maybe the best move Lucas has ever made

LL says who needs an alleyoop

Thats +21

Bring more of the pain Coleby!

So does the NCAA committee purposely schedule all three Kansas teams to be playing at the same time?

I want half a century at the half...

Fun!

@wissox

Pretty shitty

@DCHawker Looks like we might be there

Loose now

BIFM!!

This game is going to be bad for our strength of schedule.

Svi: G, what u doing there...I'm not going up for that!

Svi is looking relaxed in transition

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Fun!

My internet pooped out right when KU really started to play better. I'm trying to watch anyway, but soooo much stuttering.

Wow Svi!

Svi😡

Crap foul there

@approxinfinity said:

Wow Svi!

Wow on the great shot or idiotic foul.... Didn't learn his lesson from TCU....

Never foul a Schneider.

Hoping Self can get a 3 in today.

@Texas-Hawk-10

Lol....so stupid.

At least he didn't tackle him

Wow. These refs.

How the f was that not a foul?

I liked the symmetry of a 50-25 halftime score and Svi ruined all of it.

I am going to pretend that Svi didn't do that.

Nice job there, Ref. Looked clean.

Come on refs protect your damn players crap heads

Dumb ass girl

All of a sudden we get going, put some pressure on them to execute and were able to turn on the burners

Jesus, just let Graham get tackled and don't call a foul.

Happy Bill throwing some compliments. That's just pillow talk baby.

Good defense, they are living at the line. Clean up turnovers. Tyler self plays

@kjayhawks Tyler Self will start the second half

Wow these refs suck. Graham damn near gets killed no foul. Yet just get in front of a offensive KU player and it's a charge ???

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Dumb ass girl

IDK what this is in reference to but it made me LOL

I wonder how much Moneke paid the refs for all the favorabe calls he is getting

One good thing! Franks proving himself as the poy!

@DoubleDD I know. One of those charges...the dude was not set, he was still moving

I haven't seen this many charge calls sense the early 90's.

@DoubleDD when it cost 25 cents

Trying to decide to drive about 2 hours over to Tulsa for Sunday...(Not counting chickens quite yet)...

Those last few calls or call and no call were a joke. Someone's gonna get hurt letting that go down.

@Lulufulu before the game she was talking softly on the court about josh talking about wanting to beat a girl. Can't have it both ways. Talk crap on us then ask Self questions. Don't know if that makes sense

Both teams have 32 shot attempts and both are 9-11 from FT line.

Results very different but I like!

Finally decided to remove KC Star from my bookmark tab.

@kjayhawks

That's my thing. If the refs want to call a game a certain way then that is the way it has to be. Yet come on? You can't look the other way when a player damn nears gets tackled. Like you said somebody could get hurt. Especially a KU player.

WSU down 2 to Dayton at 3:00 minute mark of the 1st.

@Bwag watching

Rather see ISU or Purdue?

I was not aware Connor Frankamp is shooting 45% from 3

@Eric-san said:

Rather see ISU or Purdue?

Purdue. But I think ISU will win. That's if KU can survive Sunday of course.

@BShark

Don't over look Purdue. They have a stud roaming the paint.

@BShark said:

@Eric-san said:

Rather see ISU or Purdue?

Purdue. But I think ISU will win. That's if KU can survive Sunday of course.

I'd go ISU...we owe a payback

@BShark I wouldn't mind ISU actually, Self with a week to prepare and the familiarity factor might be better than facing the big bodies of Purdue.

Lots of guests so I can't really post much.

WSU getting all the call against Dayton and still two points down.

MSU or Miami?

@Bwag

Both suck, no preference.

Disappointed Ok St lost. Was expecting Evans and Forte to carry them a round or two.

@approxinfinity

Even though I picked them to lose their first game.

@DoubleDD agreed I'm shaking I'm so pissed. If I was coaching I probably would've got ejected right there. That's how kids get hurt. He should replace as ref going forward. Fired. No question,I can handle a bad call but a dude just leveled a kid half his size.

Feels like Izzo has Self's number.

@Eric-san

This MSU team is lucky to be in the tournament.

Yeah but Larranega isn't a stranger to post season magic (GMU to FInal Four 2006). I think I'd rather stick with the devil Bill knows and drop a little vengeance on Izzo in the process.

I don't care who KU plays. Just one game at a time. Just one game at a time.

Marsha sweating and the Schlocks are down 5.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

@BShark said:

@Bwag

Both suck, no preference.

I think I'd want MSU...weaker team and it's MSU.

At least the Big 12 hasn't been an embarrassment so far like it has been the past few years.

@Eric-san said:

At least the Big 12 hasn't been an embarrassment so far like it has been the past few years.

Somewhere under a bridge El poyo is very upset.

@Eric-san Not at all. We're set up to be extremely good the next few years too. I think this year's success is imperative for the 6th, 7th and 8th best team in Big12 next year.

@Eric-san yeah. even OSU played it tough in a loss.

KState on now?

@BShark heh.

@Bwag I'm ok with Kstate losing though.

@Bwag said:

@Eric-san yeah. even OSU played it tough in a loss.

KState on now?

Yeah - appears they can't score against Cincy.... 11 points in about 10 minutes..

Kstate making the tournament was good enough for more Weber.

You can hear Graham get all ball and what is it called?

Graham,

Dude...that's a foul? Did you see me get creamed at end of last half?

Boom from FM

BRUTAL. Mason and Graham, Inc!

Wow

Where has this team been the past 2 months?????

@DCHawker big 12 teams

@DCHawker said:

Where has this team been the past 2 months?????

Not playing UC Davis.

@DCHawker

We haven't been playing UMKC level teams the last two months?

@DCHawker Protecting themselves from injury, lifting weights, practicing, and getting ready for this day?

Go ll head up

That coach has nice hair

'll is fouled but nooo

@Eric-san said:

@Bwag I'm ok with Kstate losing though.

I'm torn. Want to see Big 12 do well.

@Eric-san you called it

@Bwag What? its ksu?

Mason at 17

JJ sitting at 13

Moneki at 14

@globaljaybird

Amen. Down with Liberace.

It's so nice playing a team we can abuse to start the tournament. Settle in, get all facets of our game going.

Finish strong there Bragg!

Nice look in to bragg

You would think Bragg could make a layup

@BeddieKU23 fouled

@approxinfinity said:

It's so nice playing a team we can abuse to start the tournament. Settle in, get all facets of our game going.

Feels like a dream

@BeddieKU23

Just be glad he didn't fumble the pass.

Even this teams FT defense is bad. We're at 85%

@BShark said:

@globaljaybird

Amen. Down with Liberace.

That's funny. My wife heard him talk the other night for the first time and had the expected reaction.

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BeddieKU23 fouled

Still can't make one

@BShark said:

@BeddieKU23

Just be glad he didn't fumble the pass.

He only saves that for better teams

@Bwag

Even KSU fans/alum can't stand his voice from the ones I have talked to heh.

When KU gets it's going. It's a thing of beauty.

@approxinfinity Maybe we'll finally have a game chat without the f ing whiners? Bout time ! C'mon back @brookksmd the waters fine ......

@BShark They're about to run him out of town...but now?

@Crimsonorblue22

Changed the thread title for you.,

@globaljaybird we should be up by 50

@globaljaybird

Would you like me to whine?

what are the odds of all three kansas teams playing at the same time.

I'm almost torn. LOL

We really need to see something from Bragg this last 15.

They're you go Bragg @approxinfinity

@Bwag said:

@globaljaybird we should be up by 50

Aw and here I was just starting to enjoy myself.

@approxinfinity 2 throws and a tip

@BShark I got it, WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Damn!

Bill is gonna leave Carlton out there to gel.

@approxinfinity said:

Bill is gonna leave Carlton out there to gel.

Might as well just rest Lando at this pt.

@Crimsonorblue22 Josh like :shit: in da pasture---everywhere !

@approxinfinity said:

Bill is gonna leave Carlton out there to gel.

or not

As I say it Lando back in the game

@approxinfinity Or not. Self can't stand it when Bragg is out of position

@Bill Carlton and Chill, Baby.

Josh doing so many Josh things.

@DanR needs ll to get going too

@globaljaybird said:

@Crimsonorblue22 Josh like :shit: in da pasture---everywhere !

Who's Moneke?

@Bwag glasses dude?

Jackson is making up for lost time

I'm sorry naysayers. This KU team has a different feel to them. They don't seem timid in the least. They just bring it.

Over the back much

Refs call any fouls on UCD this half?

Josh playing hard up 30. NOT YOUR AVERAGE OAD.

Dg flinch on that mop? 🤣

@DoubleDD

1 v 16 though.

Not fully disagreeing ...if we continue to protect, push and extend...I may be right with you.

Or, maybe we've got the cobwebs removed

Lucas gonna work it inside apparently tongiht.

Gosh, Landen's post moves are locked in today.

Holy crap. Svi with the shot of the game!

Svi gets it on the move!

What a shot by Svi!!

SVIAT SVIAT SVIAT SVIAT SVIAT SVIAT. Sviiiiiiking in tongues.

Maybe Svi needs to do more Devonte style dribble moves before shooting. That was sweet!

Crazy shot svi

@approxinfinity Technically it's a post move (singular), but he can go left or riight

Lucas going left just looks more natural a move

Just saw this tweet: "UC Davis coach Jim Les drew a technical foul at the 7:17 mark, presumably to fire up his team, down just two. Instead, Kansas went on a 27-4 run to effectively put this one out of reach at halftime."

@wissox yeah, it was pretty unfortunate.

Rob Lowe is a year and a half older than me and looks a lot better than I do. Bummer.

@DanR

Hollywood people are aliens.

Sure is cute!

Damn was that CB?

POY

Average game for Frank.

@globaljaybird said:

Damn was that CB?

Ikr? Good effort from him tonight.

We got him those 5 assists!

two bigs.

Vick is having a game he'd probably like to forget

Vicks off

Troy making Duke sweat a little bit, but I'm sure the refs will take care of that

FLagrant 1 on Vick

Friendly fire!

@DoubleDD I may agree with you.

I like that we are continuing to keep focus

I love Kevin Harlan.

WSU tied it up

At least the refs there remained consistent with the charge call

We're gonna break 100.

Frank is a ghost. Spoooooky.

I love that we our keeping our feet on the gas all the way through. When was the last time we played a complete game? 40 mins of hard fast basketball, gotta love it.

@BShark Harlan used to call the Chiefs games back in the 90s. One of my favorites.

@BShark so refreshing!

@approxinfinity said:

We're gonna break 100.

Or do we sub way down the bench and see some drop off?

@DanR said:

@BShark Harlan used to call the Chiefs games back in the 90s. One of my favorites.

Love listening to his NFL radio calls instead of the tv announcers.

@Bwag I'd say yes, but I think Bill is hell bent on getting our bench rotation guys in the groove.

@Bwag we need to sub, already have. Get vick going, get Mitch in

Even I can't complain today. This is where we are at with this game. @globaljaybird

I think Vick should have been called for a foul? Swinging a elbow on Bragg?:bowtie:

@BShark amazing

@BShark lol, good man.

@BShark Wish I could say the same thing about Len Dawson. "It's just like I was saying..."

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

@Bwag we need to sub, already have. Get vick going, get Mitch in

Mitch time for sure.

@approxinfinity hawkschamp doesn't watch?

@approxinfinity Agree with you and @Crimsonorblue22

@Crimsonorblue22 huh?

Man, Lucas is solid

Like that we're still playing right.

@approxinfinity just wondered where he was

@Crimsonorblue22 Too scared ?? Worra, worra ??

@DanR

That pong style pass to Graham was nice.

@DanR He has been error free today! Dug his passing game. Always found the open man. Balanced with 100% confidence when his shot was the correct option.

@Crimsonorblue22

Some people don't post when KU is winning. Not saying he is one of them, but they do exist. Particularly on the Phog and the shiver.

Mitch is in, but Colby should be in for LL - why risk anything at this point????????

Rough em up Mitch

@DCHawker confidence?

Wow Svi. Right on man.

Looks like subs coming in

@Crimsonorblue22 What's the risk now? - more risk with starters in....

Here comes Jr.

Nice pass Mitch!

Need 7 points in next 3 minutes

Lol think we can get to 100?

@DCHawker agree! Ll needed to see ball go in too

@approxinfinity

With our deep reserves it's dicey! lol

I've been in and out, so apologies if already noted, but all 5 starters in double figures. Great to see everyone contributing at the same time....

@approxinfinity Svi shot is pretty

This might have been the lowest ranked Kenpom team to make the tourney, I didn't check but certainly has to be close.

Anyone know what the Sunday game time will be?

So if that chick in blue whispers on the court after the game about josh I'm leaving for Tulsa!😉🔥

@BShark Don't know about UCD, but the team they beat was actually much higher ranked in RPI and Kenpom than most 16s.

@BShark Nice screen from Mitch to set up the pick & roll to Svi for the jumper. He'll be every bit the TEAM glue, dirty works, guy that LL has become. High, extremely high quality pedigree....Take that to the bank ! I don't think I ever changed his diaper but I was damn sure there when Dad did.

Mitch!

Nice to whip a team we should whip. Ain't done that a lot. Clear the bench Bill!

@globaljaybird

Mitch is playing well!

Tyler will be telling his kids about this moment some day

I wish nothing but the best for Mitch I hope he is on the team for 4-5 years.

TYLER SELF NCAA TOURNAMENT POINT SCORED

Wonder how Bragg's nose is?

@Crimsonorblue22 Bringing that bullsh-t media-drum drama to the Big Dance is like talking to a mistress on your cell phone during church. If she keeps whispering that garbage, tell her you're gonna "beat her ass" for Josh, pls.

Hey Harlan, maybe the walk-ons will get to play again when we blow out our opponent in the championship game.

@approxinfinity ha ha! 💪

@DanR

I like your thought process here.

Awkwardly long hug

@DanR

Emotional moment.

Go for the century, guys

Man they're fouling us to keep Tyler from canning a 3.

Lt👟

OMG

Hollywood script material

woooooooooooooooooooooo DAGGER!

NO EASY BUCKETS - Mitch Lightfoot

Then that three from Tyler. What an ending.

Tyler self!!!!

Love these guys!

Oh man. WHAT A SATISFYING WIN!

Tyler 3!!!!

Iowa St/Purdue's gonna be a great game tomorrow.

Wellp, thrive and advance!

@approxinfinity need a 🚬

That was a statement, ahhhhh

@approxinfinity jk!

@Crimsonorblue22 lolol

It appears to me KU made a statement. Bring it. :kissing_heart:

This time of year, the satisfaction wears off pretty fast and I start worrying about the next game.

I need a gif and/or video of BIFM's reaction to the Tyler three ball.

Gonna steal that line.

@DanR Yeah but that's cool. Some kids need & want you to be a mentor...they're not diff to identify & they feed off positive attention in all aspects of their lives.. Really, as a coach, it's part of your job description & you have to support your players if it's at all possible & within reason. It's also not that diff to do what you need without outwardly displaying it to other kids. it's very imperative that they believe you feel the same abt all of them. Sometimes it's tough, but honestly you should. JMO

This was Tyler's career high btw.

KState maybe can keep this tight.

Whoever here said SMU's gonna beat Baylor to get to the sweet 16 the other day when brackets came out, thanks for the bad advice. Smiley face

I must be honest. I figured with the early exit in the Big 12 tournament, 8 days off, and the new crap on Josh. Well I figured a tougher game. Nope I was way wrong. KU came to play.

@wissox

Ya my apologies.

@globaljaybird said:

Yeah but that’s cool.

I agree.Coach-player bond is big. Jim Les is a good coach and seems like a pretty good guy too.

WSU - the one so many are afraid of - is in fight for life against Dayton.

I know, a little bit of a troll there!

@Bwag

Schlocks got this.

Well the greatest Coach to ever pick up a clip board is losing to Cincinnati. Man if they lose I feel so sorry for the players. They're so going to get thrown under the bus.

Tyler Self 5 points
Andrew Wiggins 6

@Jayrawks1 ouch

@DoubleDD

Fire up the exbruces!

man we didn't just run to the finish line we ran through it from start to finish capped off with a nice trey from T Self! Rock Chalk!1!

@DoubleDD They have the complete package DD, whether it unfolds the way we wish or not, this team is the real deal..

Wooden < Weber. Come on you know it's true.

I love their fearlessness.

@DoubleDD Playing harder, of course. Or hardly playing.

@DoubleDD

Bruce is the best coach ever...just ask him and he will tell you.

Team played with killer instinct all game. Even Tyler Self did.

@BShark

Well hell yes he's the best. The only time he loses is because of his players. :disappointed:

@DoubleDD And I fear their complacency about going waaaaay down & then executing the huge comeback....It bothers a lot of us on this board. This is the time of year to STOP THAT CRAP !!!

Bench reaction

Since I'm not a Kansan, I don't have Wichita animosity like a lot of you, so I'm kind of pulling for them here. Sorry, revoke my membership, kick me off the island, invalidate my KU degree, have @approxinfinity delete all of my posts ever, whatever. But I picked them to win this match, so I need them to do so.

Both teams just benefited from phantom phoul calls on drives. Why do these refs make calls like this? Blows my mind.

@Jayrawks1 low

My Special Reserve Cask Glenlivet is not wearing off yet. Just kind of humming along.....

@wissox I am a Kansan, and I'm rooting for them and KSU. Heretical, i know....

I don't mind WSU, but KSU can eat crap.

Just ask @KUSTEVE I am a closet Schlocks fan. :laughing:

You know the Big 12 was actually tough this year. I have to tip my cap the Coach and the players. They never blinked. Not all schools are created equal when it comes to the hard wood. Yet when you have a blue blood like KU that doesn't blink? Man oh man there is something special there.

@BShark See, I feel complete opposite. I want all of our Big 12 teams showing up this year! We've already lost 2, I think

To many KU teams came to the tournament playing not to lose. I don't see or feel it with this team. They coming to play.

Dayton caught a huge break. Should have been a shot clock violation, Dayton 3 resulted.

@DoubleDD totally agree. But, they just rolled over a team that they should have. I'm hoping they do well in Sundays game, presumably against Miami...who we can totally beat, but are much much better than who we just played

Yea they did what they were supposed to do. Yet how many KU teams have you seen in the tournament that didn't do what they were supposed to do. ??? It's called taking care of business.

I'm going to leave you with this post, and I'll see you gals and guys Sunday.

KU is tagged as a choker in the tournament. Fair or not it's the perception. My brethren we finally have a team that has no fear. They don't fear losing. Yet an argument could be made this is the weakest KU team that Coach has had in some time. I picked up on this from coach and his interviews. He's seen something that doesn't make sense. Notice he doesn't and hasn't bashed this team. When we were all up in arms about the defense. Coach hardly said nothing. When Weber tried to talk up his team playing harder than KU. Coach came out with a scathing rebuke. Unlike Coach.

Boys and Girls this team is special. Is it good enough to win it all. I don't know? However I'm going to enjoy the ride. :sunglasses:

@wissox

Did we watch the same play? It was WSU shot that did not hit the rim and should have been a shot clock violation, instead they called a foul on Dayton on the rebound; terrible call at critical time...even the announcers indicated it was a bad call.

I watched both games on two big screens and WSU got a whole lot a favorable calls. Marshall can complain all he wants about the seeding but he cannot complain about the refereeing since it clearly favored WSU.

@JayHawkFanToo I was talking about a play near the end of the game. I didn't analyze it too closely because I don't really care. I briefly saw earlier a play they were talking about that may have been the play you're referring to.

@wissox Why say that? Don't know him & don't care.But h e works for the enemy damnit- the KCSTAR ⭐️Nuff said.

@globaljaybird Jesse Newell? He's a diehard KU fan. I don't care what paper he works for.

@approxinfinity still haven't seen pic of Jeff graves.

@Crimsonorblue22 hm. not sure, my wife pointed it out, and I remembered seeing it before.

@approxinfinity were you both sober? Seems a lil odd when I think about it. 🤔

Msu looks tough!

@wissox Obvious you don't know sq abt the Midwest heritage or history of the ⭐️ or how they are continually expressing bias vs KU in their questionable assessment of the off court quandary of this years BB team & HCBS discipline with the team, but we'll forgive ya anyway.... unless ya just outright"QUIT BEING A FAN AGAIN" & in that case, go ahead this time, no one will stop ya. Wisconsin can always use another.

@Crimsonorblue22 Don't put it past these guys to use Kansas photos from 13 years ago.

@globaljaybird woh there bud, I'm just getting used to having wissox back.

@wissox a lot of KU fans are dumping those guys at the ⭐️ They are continually coming up w/new stories from old news just to create clicks. If I was KU I'd ban them.

@approxinfinity Let him yak if he wants, no prob from me. No comments either GN

@Crimsonorblue22 @wissox @approxinfinity click only on Jesse's pieces. They are great analysis. Surely Star brass would see the traffic numbers.

Maybe access Jesse from Twitter only.

@globaljaybird "Quit being a fan again" because I like Jesse Newell? Come on sir, what's gotten into you?

The thing is Jesse was retweeting the trash pieces on KU. Chicken or the egg? His boss or KU? Lots of fans dropping him

@wissox Play dumb its OK but I recall you creating the thread one time about-paraphrased- I quit, I give up, I this & that, wah wah, either in jest or frustration you were giving up on KU?? If not I'm confusing you with someone else, but my memory isn't that faint yet dude... I'm just connecting dots & ifyou wanna smooze Jessie newell go ahead. No one here has much to say about him after all his twitter rehash of the star bullshit. That was my original point & MO & if you don't like say so & let it go . Other than that nothing else to say cept see ya.

I like Jesse, and I like Gary Bedore, but their newspaper has turned the sports page into a gossip column. I won't be reading anything coming from that paper for quite some time, regardless of the author. I won't begrudge anybody who does, but I'm staying away.

@tundrahok I'll never read or have anything to do with the KC star again after this crap. I hope most on here join me in that. Sorry @Jesse-Newell but I don't do unconfirmed gossip.

Hm. I've only kept up with the Star for the most part via you guys, so this is the first I'm considering Jesse as having been on the gossip bandwagon. That's too bad. I really appreciate his analysis of the game and I always considered him a true fan. This feels like business meeting pleasure, and business winning. I stand with you guys, if he's peddling the drama, not interested. In that case, I hope he goes back to being just Jesse, the informed, intelligent, insightful, well-spoken, amiable, devoted Jayhawk fan (and the Star lets him be that guy).

@globaljaybird The thing is sir, I remember that post, and it was one of my most popular threads ever because even though the headline said "I Quit", if you had bothered to read to the end of it I concluded it with "see you next game". But if people start sniping at each other on this site, I will quit this site because it's not who we are.

Yes, no need to snipe at each other, we're all fans with a common bond or we wouldn't keep posting.

Let's save the attacks for the bad guys ok? Would hate to have this site go the way of the other.

MSU, beware! This is the year we took our anti-Kryptonite pills. Watch the tapes of last night and behold what is coming your way.

@wissox how ya feeling about today? I think the Badgers have a shot at the upset

@cragarhawk Some are saying UW is kind of like Butler which beat Nova twice. Obviously, it's gonna be a toughie. I have no great hopes with the way the Badgers have been playing lately, but UW went to the FF as an 8 seed in 2000 so they know it can be done.

@wissox Sure sounds like you're blowin your own horn by patronizing a little bit & may think you're a tad above someone else. So do what you prefer. Be proud of humility Obviously you are trying to take this to a level that you prefer so go there alone. All this was, was a diff of opinion abt a writer. If you want to leave, knock yourself out & be our guest. You're the one that mentioned it, now more than once. End of subject.

Guys, I'm gonna shut this one down. Let's move on and rally around beating Izzo's butt Sunday.
