Man I'm stoked.

Somebody give me a :basketball:

So far, it seems the other teams are playing tight. I hope we play loose.

@stoptheflop

Yea Watching myself. Think KU about ready to open up a can of whoop ass.

Oregon shaking awaiting KU.

@stoptheflop and @HawkChamp are we stoked ???

@DoubleDD I'll be stoked with a W.

So what do we think @BShark ???

I would like to thank all involved in the Oregon Michigan game for it ending in a timely manner and in general being a fast game.

@DoubleDD

KU wins by 4 in a high scoring game IMO.

Just win baby..

Had KU beating Izzo by 8-ish. Which honestly felt about right for that game but Bridges got hurt and KU pulled away late.

@DoubleDD said:

Just win baby..

Definitely. Any kind of win will do.

Purdue tries to run and they go down big.

Key ??? Mister Lucas.

@DoubleDD

Lucas must stay out of foul trouble.

@BShark

Might need some Colby Cheese..

I edited the thread name. LETS GO GET IT.

Alright who in the fan base is going to lead the charge ???

Interesting stat: Selfs only two sweet sixteen losses were to big 10 teams - MSU in 2009 and Michigan in 2013. 2017 - ?

Let's get it BOYS

@DoubleDD

Coleby would be my first big off the bench tonight.

@HawkChamp

YOU STOP IT.

@BShark

To night we are twins. Not biological as you're better looking.

@DoubleDD said:
Not biological as you're better looking.

Extremely unlikely LOL.

I"m watching from a hotel in Norman Oklahoma. Wearing KU shirt and cap, got a few dirty looks and one half-hearted "Go Jayhawks" while walking the pooch around.

@DanR

Quick, make fun of Jason White or something.

:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Nice. Love the title change.

@BShark doesn't he have a lawn care business?

@DanR

I'm in Marshalltown, IA. No pouch to walk, but I wish. I love my old girl Silvia. A ghost dog..

@Crimsonorblue22 Who ya got Hawk To Rock ??

The key as usual is defense. Iowa State did not disrupt them at all last week.

@DoubleDD lolol...great headline...cracked me up...

@DoubleDD

Enemy territory. More Hawkeyes or Cyfans there?

@BShark

Sadly a man has to make money.

@BShark

I would also like those refs. End of the game and teams had 4 and 5 fouls...amazing.

@DoubleDD I say @Crimsonorblue22 She as good as we got .!

Anybody remember the last time we played Purdue in the Sweet 16? Glenn Big Dog Robinson scored 30 in the first half and 44 for the game. 23 years later, it's time for revenge!

@JayHawkFanToo definitely. I predict this one is a foul fest - got to have contrast right?

@HawkChamp

Going to be a tall task for both teams I think.

@JayHawkFanToo said:

@BShark

Seems like so far the refs have been mostly letting the kids decide it on the court.

@HawkChamp

I rather not...😄

Where is my :basketball: ???

@tundrahok O got dunked on by big dog and shook his hand

Give me a step latter and I will dunk that bad girl. :kissing_heart:

@tundrahok said:

Missouri's new coach also sank 8 3's in that game as well.

@DanR I forgot about that! Hilarious.

We also played Purdue in our 2012 run. Came back in the last minute or two. Tyshawn to EJ alley oop on a break was a key play

@DanR

I remember that. Some fans were saying you pull it out and dribble but screw it, you dunk that crap every time.

@BShark said:

@DoubleDD

Enemy territory. More Hawkeyes or Cyfans there?

I work up here a lot. It's kind of weird. They root for both. Don't get me wrong they're are Clone fans and Hawkeye fans. Yet I think they are Iowa first.

I heard Swanigan used to be a big fatso

@DanR

400 pounds. Good for him for getting past that.

@DanR He weighed about 350 in HS.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Cuonzo Martin, wow, I missed that news. Guess I don't pay much attention to that state any more.

@DoubleDD

Interesting.

@DanR said:

I heard Swanigan used to be a big fatso

300lbs+ in his early teens...

Okay I didn't post during the MSU game which was a win so, cya at half.

@globaljaybird BIFM

Here we go.

@Crimsonorblue22 And JJ just like last game !! GO HAWKS !!!

If Self ever left, would you take Painter? I would, just for the fact that he used MU for leverage that one time. That was awesome.

Let's go LL

We're going to need more than one guy rebounding

Liked that defense LL played on Swanigan, keep forcing him into tough shots.

7 two ??? What with platform shoes ???

We just need to make shots this game...

Lets go 0-0

Watching Gonzaga and didn't even realize our game had started. 0-0, didn't miss much I guess.

@DCHawker Need to take easy shots too

that was 2 3-seconds in a row...1 was called.

Poor shot selection.

Can't leave these guys open behind the line. Purdue shoots too well for that. Probably the best shooting team we've played all year.

POY

I love it. Purdue hot. Means cool second half.

@DoubleDD said:

I love it. Purdue hot. Means cool second half.

I would love it more if they didn't get hot in the first place and stayed cold....

@DoubleDD Purdue shoots over 40% from 3, no guarantee they go cold.

Bull crap

Wow ticky tacky foul

If they are going to call that might as well call breathing

Just watched the replay of the Lucas 'foul'. You're all right, it was minor at best.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said:

@DoubleDD Purdue shoots over 40% from 3, no guarantee they go cold.

They go cold.

@wissox said:

Just watched the replay of the Lucas 'foul'. You're all right, it was minor at best.

Yeah it's the type of foul that makes us go to our bench when we need landen in

@wissox but doesn't matter if they keep calling them like that.

Self needs to be on the Refs asses/

@Bwag said:

@wissox but doesn't matter if they keep calling them like that.

Self needs to be on the Refs asses/

yea it does matter. If the refs are going to call that type of call. That's crap.

Wake up boys

Seems like guys are lost on d

Coleby's in before Bragg

And they called it a shooting foul? That was so on the floor.

um yea.

It's not so much Swanigan's looks in 8th grade...look at the other kids

Devonte saving our asses right now

Guys are wide open

Lazy lazy lazy defense

They're getting wide open shots right now..

Colbey cheese baby.

colby

Grahams guy is getting way too open

Even when Frank loses control he has more control of the ball than everyone around him. POY

Vick The Vick. Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeee Vick

If we want the Final Four, we gotta go through the B10 and P12 regular season champs.

Coleby plays like a man What they need IMO

Haas pushed

Bout time they missed a 3

O.M.G. That guy is huge.

Coleby looks little now.

Looks lovely day one defense and rebounding

Early subbing. Bill is gonna Run

@tundrahok said:

Coleby looks little now.

JJ will dunk over him.

Gotta take advantage of Swanigan being on the bench.

Jackson sighting

These fouls

Unfavorable whistle thus far.

Mason needs to wake up

Sorry @approxinfinity but that was a PUSSY CALL.

Coleby with 2 in 2 minutes,Bragg get a shot or does LL return

@wissox said:

Unfavorable whistle thus far.

We really haven't done anything to get fouls against them. Not driving it to the basket...

@kjayhawks I doubt Bragg plays this game

@DCHawker said:

@wissox said:

Exactly we are playing to their advantage

40 minute game...but like to see us get a leg up.

I'm waiting for the intensity to turn up we are playing so tight

@DanR Haas 7'2".? Shitereeeeee .....

@DanR He'll have to with this whistle.

@DanR said:

@kjayhawks I doubt Bragg plays this game

We may need the fouls....

Frankly i've had too much to drink to post and watch.

Well it appears the refs love the big Purdue man. So what does Coach do ???

People that size shouldn't spin that quickly.

We're settling for quick jumpers...

POY

Lucas and Bragg ready to check in

@wissox said:

POY

Can I fav you twice ???

This is gonna be a game

@Bwag said:

This is gonna be a game

um no KU pulls away.

WVU and Zags tied with 2 to go...

Don't like this line up

Where is guy that told me Haas was a no body

We've missed 3 or 4 at the rim...

We're playing kind of stupidly

How the F$#@ was that a travel?

Did we forget how to dunk!!!!

@Eric-san he sat down.

The Giant has a weakness.

KU wins.

Haas auditioning for Rocky III or something?

WVU Zaga tied 55 55 with 1:59 to go.

Lets go WVU.

@Eric-san Picked up his pivot foot when he fell. Always been a travel.

Boy, better straighten things up second half. Not covering shooters, missing bunnies, and giving them transition opportunities. What exactly is our plan to stop their bigs? Don't see much right now. Not a good start.

Hard to believe we're tied in rebounding with 10 each

@HawkChamp said:

Boy, better straighten things up second half. Not covering shooters, missing bunnies, and giving them transition opportunities. What exactly is our plan to stop their bigs? Don't see much right now. Not a good start.

I disagree, This is perfect.

Purdue shooting out da lights. A stop ✋ would help

@globaljaybird Had some good stops, but didn't cash in. Just need to keep playing the same

HOW ARE THEY THIS OPEN

Settle down Josh

@globaljaybird said:

Purdue shooting out da lights. A stop ✋ would help

At least a hand in their face...

Purdue shooting 60%

Second half. :kissing_heart:

Take it to the rack & win it at da line

POY

BIFM

Edwards is done for the half

Will shoot 60% all game if we can't switch better

@DoubleDD ditto

In 2012 we beat Purdue in the 3rd round 63-60.

Good job Svi. Energy is picking up. Finish this half strong!

Draw fouls good work

Purdue can't run.

Drive the goddamn ball....

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nice ball movement

what the hell just happened? the ball bounce off JJ directly to Frank across the court? that was either fantastic luck or an amazing pass.

@Blownopen by ball movement..Same way we just hit the 3 !

KU finding themselves.

@DoubleDD I think bill sees
That as his only edge hence the early unusual subs

Bill talk to Fred Holberg this morning? I can't believe we're actually TRYING to get threes

@DanR Let's try to not let them step into theirs, FTW

Let's no wait til down 8 to play from here on out fellas

@Blown said:

@DoubleDD I think bill sees
That as his only edge hence the early unusual subs

Thennnnnnnnnnnnn I'm calling it. KU pulls away. :astonished:

Much better. Josh active even though he's not scoring.

@approxinfinity We also beat them in the 2nd round way back in like 1993/94

Nice pass josh😳

WVU down 3.

Down goes WVU.

@approxinfinity said:

WVU down 3.

Horrible WVU execution at the end of the game...

Wtf is wrong with Jevon carter

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Nice pass josh😳

I don't know why I like you.

Just kidding I know why. :grin:

WVU couldn't even get off a 3 to tie.

@DCHawker no timeouts, they fell apart.

@approxinfinity said:

@DCHawker no timeouts, they fell apart.

Understand, but with 30+ seconds, drive the ball and get the quick 2...

Yes Svi. Sviiiil it

The three ball is open for business.

Why the hell do you double Lucas?

3 for 2 is 😊 for me...

@DCHawker Yeah, anything other than dribbling away your time and jacking a guarded 3. Even a wide open Adrian frm 3 was a better option than that.

Didn't WVU do that against us ? Hero ball 3 at the end ?

@Blown No, they beat us by 16 (this year)

@Blown To be fair, Gonzaga really didn't give them much in the way of an open look

Mister JJ

Wow, great!

Rim didn't block that one.

AFH East coming to life

Purdue seeemmmmmmms frazzled. :bowtie:

@wissox fair or not. When you HAVE TO have a 3 you have to at least attempt a shot. No excuse for that.

@Texas-Hawk-10 And great job Landen corralling that, immediately recognizing the double team and finding the open man.

Truly impressive.

I'm not sure Landen can't play in the League.

@DanR but They also lost on a last shot hero ball 3, too

@Texas-Hawk-10 said:

Why the hell do you double Lucas?

Because he's a bad man.

@DoubleDD It's the Kansas 6th gear.

@approxinfinity said:

@DoubleDD It's the Kansas 6th gear.

:thumbsup:

We're pretty good when we play with intensity and urgency.

@Texas-Hawk-10 #1 FG% in the Big12, point blank shot! THIS AINT YO GRANDMA'S LANDEN!

!IMG_7120.JPG ↗

Rock Chalk!!

@approxinfinity LL isn't NBA material, but he can be a pro in Euroleague or CBA in China.

That's the play we get out of a TO?

@approxinfinity said:

I'm not sure Landen can't play in the League.

I love LL, but really??? Only a handful of 5s play back to the basket and I'm not sure which of those he could defend, let alone all the others that can play on the perimeter. Hope I am wrong though...

@DCHawker lol ok guys ok.

These guys need to give Frank the flipping ball on a defensive rebound. JJ and Vick should not be bringing the ball up.

I'll take that all day

BIFM taking it to the big man.

Good grief, that's a foul. Thank you.

Haas looks Neanderthal

KU quietly takes a 6 point lead.

Good try Vick

Ah Coach not happy.

Haas you dirty B, throwing bows.

Junk!!!!

Coleby you should have sold that

I think Lightfoot might be the guy to stop the big freak

Must force Haas up the lane!!

Gotta get a 2 for 1 here and try to stretch the lead to 5 or 6 before half.

Should throw some zone at them second half.

He can't run, he can't block, and he's not quick, yet get it to him in the blocks he's automatic. To bad this game will decided by BIFM

B I F M

@HawkChamp Purdue shoots too well from outside

POY

Nice finish to the half!!!!

Thanks ref!

That's how we do it in Kansas City.

Purdue saved by the bell.

Nice timeout coach

Didn't even see the ball bounce off the ref at first

Great way to end the end. Love the energy

@Eric-san said:

Thanks ref!

Assist for the ref?

Who needs a fav? I'm feeling good tonight.

Bill Self is happy. Lots of tools still in the toolbag, a lead, and a belief he can correct how we're guarding Haas.

Cool tribute to Craig Seger with the mic covers. This was his normal crew as well. Wish he was still with us.

They shot 56% to our 44%, but we have the lead. Just need to make a couple of adjustments on defense to deal with Haas...

That foul on landen was atrocious and called by an out of position official

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Coleby you should have sold that

Sad to say, Haas is a much better actor than Coleby...

Good teamwork between Graham and Vick. Looking forward to more of that next year!

Rinse and repeat and I'm good

@tundrahok and this year!!

You No Faith whiners can bitch all ya like but this Kansas team has exactly the right mix to win it all. WAAAAAHHHHHHH all you like This one will be at the line. BIFM !!!

Given the way we started..........thrilled to have a 7 pt halftime lead.

Stealing points before the half was nice, feels like the opposite of normal for this team.

@Bwag said:

Rinse and repeat and I'm good

So you feeling good???

Bill subbed beautifully that half

Wait tell Oregon gets to see us.

@DoubleDD second half of Purdue firstly.

@Blown

I'm Blown by your posts. :kissing_heart:

@Blown said:

Sneaky sneaky. Bragg and Coleby both got minutes.

Wish it was Michigan for some revenge.

@DoubleDD i dont know...but better than if we were behind.

We'er better over over a season..

Let's show it in this single game in 2nd half

We have to keep the heat on them. Kareem Adbul Haas. We have to out score them this half again plain and simple.

Purdue can't run. Well nobody can run with KU.

Barkley is a genius.

@DoubleDD said:

Idiot savant????

@Blown Not bad at all.

@DCHawker said:

@DoubleDD said:

He's laying down some serious truths. Purdue can't run.

This halftime conversation is interesting...Appreciate these NBA guys commentary is very interesting

@Bwag I appreciate the right half of the table.

@DoubleDD except for UCLA.

@HawkChamp Kellogg can go suck a carton of eggs.

@DoubleDD our defense has led to run outs. Have to keep the pressure on.

Please for the sake of my superstitious nature, please please please

Agree - ours perimeter guys can beat their's off the dribble all night long. Would love to see constant penetration and drawing lots of early fouls in the second half. Especially, JJ - he missed some finishes, but they don't have anyone who can come close to matching up with him...

@globaljaybird 2

Please KU will smoke them. Shooot I wish KU gets to play them. Not going to happen. UCLA overrated.

@approxinfinity said:

@globaljaybird swanigan has 6, haas 11, thompson 7.

@kjayhawks said:

Absolutely can't let Haas catch it inside if at all possible. Go at him on the other end, get him tired. Hack him with Mitch. etc...

@DCHawker said:

@DoubleDD said:

Barkley is a genius.

Idiot savant????

Lol what did he say?

@globaljaybird Swanigan has 6

@DCHawker if they keep going with two bigs, Jackson will have numerous opportunities.

@DoubleDD

Ah I see yeah KU is a lot more athletic than Purdue.

Got a tough half ahead run run run

@globaljaybird said:

Not many! Doing a great job on him. In Bill we trust.

@BShark said:

I'll only talk about it if KU wins.

Keep running and pushing. Don't let them take the lead and give them hope and confidence.

Purdue gonna try to slow it down

If I'm ole Paintypants I keep Haas in as much as possible. What a load he is.

@globaljaybird That's why I try not to liveblog. I think people who get real negative on these blogs are just projecting something they have inside that bleeds out. It's one thing to have a comment or two, but you'll see 50+ terrible, negative posts in a row from the same people. When you point it out, they mock you by calling you myopic, Pollyanna, etc. I get to have my own personal reaction to the team I love, so I choose not to let negative people shape that opinion.

If we make shots we will win. Nothing else matters but shots made

@Blown Thats what I thought I heard but have almost "sipped" a half jug of brandy. Wife's outta town & I'm takin advantage.

@BShark yes, that would mean Biggie is guarding Josh.

Kind of an odd game. Purdue had an unreal start but KU kept within distance. Then Purdue actually kind of sucked except for Haas.

@globaljaybird lol take it easy on the brandy big guy, we might need your good luck for OT.

@BShark said:

Play him and KU wins.

@BeddieKU23 said:

Scoring more points than your opponent is optimal.

tough offensive line for Lucas 0/0 and 2 rbs, but his defense is helping

@BShark said:

@BeddieKU23 said:

More so in a game where Purdue is capable of making a good %.

Okay we are getting some John Madden posts now

@DoubleDD @HawkChamp

It's unconventional and honestly there are reasons I'm not a coach but right now, what is Swanigan doing all that well? I would strongly consider going to one big and having it be Haas as much as possible. This is extremely unlikely to happen, just my 02.

@stoptheflop Lucas ought to get a half a point for every screen he sets that leads to a score

@BeddieKU23

Probably getting to the 90s tonight...both teams. 80s for sure.

@DanR said:

@stoptheflop Lucas ought to get a half a point for every screen he sets that leads to a score

Fear not, Self understands and it's why Lucas gets a lot of PT.

What's interesting to me is when we played them back in 2013 or whatever year it was, both coaches played an intense defensive battle. Personnel changes leads to changes in style. This is not what anyone would call an intense defensive battle.

@DanR yeah man, he's doing good work down there!

Purdue just played the best half basketball of their whole season, Yet they're losing.

KU will do that to you.

Okay see you chowderheads after the game. :love_letter:

@wissox last time:
!Screenshot 2017-03-23 at 10.44.03 PM.png ↗

538 has us as an 86% win probability right now. Not sure how they do that, but it's interesting to see.

@wissox we are definitely much much better on offense than last time.

Anyone remember Mark Painter as a Purdue player? 89-93

Someone give me a :basketball:

I'll just give it to BIFM

Guaranteed frank & the boys for 20 more minutes. Let's enjoy it and pray for more.

@DanR No, but I do remember Matt Painter!

@KUSTEVE Good perspective Jethro. Most of the guys that used to live chat on these games have since stopped. This is likely my last year for it also. Way too many that seem to "act out" regardless of game flow. Too many downers to listen to.

You can't dive into Josh with your head on the ground, that's a foul.

Coach said drive it.

Make em foul ya-they will !

@globaljaybird It's gotta be called to be a foul.

@wissox LOL, yeah that guy

Wow Josh. fantastic board.

OK, ref.

That is NEVER CALLED

Bullshit call happens every damn possession.

UMMMMMMMMMMM KU can run.

Screw this. The better team will win.

@globaljaybird I didn't see it there, but I think carrying should be called more. It's a maneuver that freezes defenses in their shoes.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@wissox Yeah but lets wait until the offseason to make a broad proclamation that we'll crack down on carries, then let those calls recede back to normalcy over the course of the season, as per usual. Let's not start calling it in the Sweet 16.

lol! Every time 💪💪

Lucas huge

OH yea please Purdue talk crap. Pleassssssseeeeeeeeeee

@approxinfinity Agree 101%

Strong move by Landen

@approxinfinity I was talking abt the palming call on Frank.

@HawkChamp said:

Strong move by Landen

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Come on boys buckle down on defense

oTHER than CLin e on Purdue no one with 3 fouls...

Advantage?

@kjayhawks said:

Come on boys buckle down on defense

Come on Boys run and gun.

@DoubleDD both lol

@Blown gonna try!

Larry, Larry, Larry Larry,

Give Dooley a shout out too, Harlan!

Svi is looking sharp!

Joe D & Larry B cool !

They didn't scout Svi

ummm haaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

The DAGGER !

Good defense leads to offense

FLOP

Josh Jackson is a better defender than Wiggins was.

WHATTTTT

what?

Terrible landen terrible. That is a back breaker

Graham is a tournament player. He just is.

Damn it LL act like a senior

That foul really hurts. Could have extended the lead and 3 on LL...

Completely unnecessary

Oh Landen

@DoubleDD hope

Hope that doesn't become a flagrant.

So who has the ball Graham had control before this god damn call

Crap call

I guess I missed it

@Bwag said:

@DoubleDD hope

Dude haven't you noticed ??? The Kid has been nails.

I was afraid of this after reading some comments. ll had something to prove this game and biggie has got in his head. Dq'd himself for next 10 minutes.

@approxinfinity 26 by Hummel?

Lets guard him

@DanR The foul wasn't really shown. All I saw was Swanigan fall.

@Bwag lol. Let's not let Swanigan find his inner Hummel (5-6 from 3)

He threw himself at ll

@Crimsonorblue22 That's what I saw too

Omg ur kidding me

@Blown said:

Relax there is always and a adjustment in the second half. Who you rather have in making second half adjustments than Coach???

Whatever refs

Make up call

@Bwag said:

@approxinfinity 26 by Hummel?

Lets guard him

Was just processing that graphic,,,what?

That's some defense! On demand!

We've each made 19 FGs and are 9-18 from 3. Difference is foul shots. They are shooting better than 54%. If we can get a few stops we can open this up....

Great D

Wow I butchered the English language.

POY!!!

BIFM

POY

Again POY!

Dwight, thank you!

That running floater is beautiful

I'm stressing. I ran out of crown. Crap.

@Texas-Hawk-10 And really hard to make

JJ going at the Big man.

The downhill drives off the weave are there all night long...

Jackson such a skilled ball handler

@Blown Wish I could help

Vick has the stickiest hands for a wing. Lobs, errant skip passes, yoink! control

:stuck_out_tongue:

You know that Vick is pretty good.

Doubling Mason ?

Painter is pissed 😡

I'm thinking we're going to have to make some FT's to win this game. We're close to the bonus already.

Colbey getting some pT

Vick :smile:

Who is this Vick kid ???

Cleared for takeoff!

I guess that one was for the fans. Thanks Vick!

What JJ can play tooooooooo ????

There we go.

Vick showing up Jackson!

Now we're rolling baby!!

Don't let up. Lots of time to play hard and enjoy it

Josh brings his arms up extended in front of him on the 3, shows the ball. luckily everyone plays off of his to avoid the blow by, but he's gotta fix that next year.

Keep the pressure on!

DO NOT LET UP!!! Same as last 10 minutes against MSU. Another 20 point game. Please...

Vick playing within his role is perfect

@wissox said:

:flushed:

He misses that 360 a Self might have killed him

@DCHawker amen.

@Blown especially if the next play he loses his guy on the switch who cans (instead of misses) that 3.

And that's why josh is amazing

@approxinfinity said:

Vick :smile:
Not sure I"d vouch for his y\his character but he's a player

Vick has bird bones and panther muscles

If we could hit free ones and bunnies we'd be up 20

Vick has bird bones and panther muscles

You nailed it.

Purdue may be in real deep 💩 Looks like team following coach in loss of composure. OK 👌 with the girls I go with- survive & advance to play another day.

@Bwag no taunting that time

Painter said foul when they run.

After this season Coleby is gonna take off his jersey, spread his wings and fly back from the heaven from whence he was sent.

BIFM

Poy

Nice elbow Haas

@brooksmd I'd appreciate a little sympathy

The wheels are starting to wobble for Purdue. they cannot run with us. CANNOT

Coleby foul Haas' elbow again?

2 intentionalsn

Was there really a foul there? Carlton was straight up, got ball?

That end of court shot of Mason looked very much like AFH. A sea of blue.

Someone get me a beer.

Hawks bigs not allowed to bang?

HCBS stealing as many minutes as he can to not have to put LL back in yet...

@DoubleDD here's your beer. drink it for you too. tastes good.

OOOOOOPPPPP!!!!!!!

Sadly I can't drink beer as fast as KU can run.

WTF are you talking about? Swanigan was behind Jackson!

Refs must be watching a different game inside

@DoubleDD On me DD.

He said there is lots of time in the game. LOL

FPOY

Reggie loves him some Jayhawks.

Oh damn, good hustle Carlton. dig it! Neutralize Haas!

Can Mason play QB for us in September?

Did Haas grab Bragg going for that?

??? Can KU run ???

Bragg really needs to put on his big boy pants now and keep his head in the game.

Why can't Mason play as a graduate non transfer ?

Mason wanted that... charged out to get the ball!

BIFM talking the dudes to school.

Purdue does have plenty of time, but at this pace, they're all going to foul out.

This is the most fun we've had as Jayhawk fans since........

@brooksmd said:

Seems Bragg put on his superman underwear.

rest the starters for north carolina

Push for a few more minutes then get Frank out for at least a few minutes.

I want in!

@brooksmd WASSUP pops - What's da good word?

How can you be 7'2" and 290 pounds and nor scare a single person as a rim protector? Amazing.

I'm drinking only Michigan beers in honor of josh jackson

They can't stay in front of our guards.

He's not quick enough.

@STOOPS Founders and Bell's?

5 players in double figures. When we spread it around, there aren't many teams that can keep up with us...

Keep driving and getting the fouls. Soon it'll just be our 5 vs Swanigan and Haas.

Missed 6 of last 8 FTS come on guys.

@kjayhawks Always something to worry about.

@approxinfinity

2015 KBS
2015 backwoods bastard
2015 expedition stout

I can't even get enough of this team

Deny Deny Deny,.

@globaljaybird Kickin some ass!!!

We're not just outrunning them, our hands are faster, ripping balls / passes away. this is great.

19 points with 7 minutes!

So is BIFM out rebounding Swanigan & Haas?

Don't be a Haashole dude.

Someone pinch me.

I knew KU would win. I just like pain.

Excellent possession. Waste 25 seconds then get fouled. This game is just about signed sealed and delivered.

@DoubleDD ssshshhhhh

Michigan 2013

I don't think Haas has scored this half...

Refs feeling sorry for Purdue.

@DCHawker I'm not smart enough to figure out why, but what did we do to shut him down?

I want to see another Tyler Self 3 pointer tonight!

Switches have vastly improved this half

Finally the world agrees bifm

Shut up Tae! That's just MEAN

Mason 7 RB's 7 Assits....oh and 24 points .....

Turn out the lights.

DG and his money maker.

Have fun in the NBA Devonte.

Dear lord......

What are the Oregon fans in the stands thinking about their chances right now?

What a joy to watch. Unbelievable.

@wissox said:

Have to go back and re-watch, but we've flashed some guys at him and he has gotten the ball as deep in the paint, but not sure how we've managed that...

Reggie finally said something right "Kansas' offense is demoralizing"

Mason out now

What a performance.

Men versus boys, I feel sorry of Purdue. I really do. Nah just kidding.

Graham, stop playing so good! I want you back next year dammit!

@DoubleDD Dude, I've ridden your positive coattails all season but have to admit I was nervous with this game. Keep it up.

Game is over

Graham playing himself out of KU uniform

If we make some FTs down the stretch, we'll hit the century mark - against a real team...

The world is ready for Frank Mason. ESPN was not.

@brooksmd said:

My friend this team is scared of nothing. This is the type of team we've been waiting for.

POY

Game over

Eternal Sunshine!

We want Tyler!

The POY is still alive and standing as opposed to his challengers who will be watching the rest of the tournament on TV.

Come on bill clear the bench, no team can score 30 points in 2:30.

This is starting to get awkward. Feeling bad for Purdue. Put the bench in and call it a day.

"Wow" is all I can say

Gonna see Tyler again ?

@Blown happy for him!

How tough was the Big 12 ? we havn't seen this margin of victory all year?

Guys I think we might win this game!!IMG_7125.JPG ↗

I don't think we've had a TO this half and we're shooting over 60% - pretty darn impressive...

@HawkInMizery Great game to see. Thanks for the awesome pictures!

I was thinking that Graham needs to save some of those makes for Saturday.

Pat yourself on the back KU fans. We brought like the KU players we love.

@Bwag just wish WVU had pulled it out. Imagine what Huggie's offense would look like if he got some recruits like Kenyon Martin, OJ Mayo, Michael Beasley or Bill Walker on that team.

Turn out the lights, this party's over. Sorry Purdue. Must say we appreciated your twin towers attempt to win. But when we runnin our 5 vs your 3 cause the towers are tired at the other end. Well it ain't gonna work.

We already beat the SEC champs on their court, we just crushed the B10 champs, now we get the PAC 12 champs with the possibility of playing the ACC champs if we play UNC.

@Hawk8086 said:

I would rather he save them for Saturday....

Not sure a team has played this loose in a tourney since....

@wissox said:

Lonzo is still alive

Mason has 5 more rebounds than a guy who has 15 inches on him.

@DCHawker OH yeah. That's what I meant!

@Blown no wait...Graham needs to come back!

@Texas-Hawk-10 I forgot about him.

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWKS. KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Play like this and nothing refs do can change the outcome

Chant has already started!

And then there was just one POY imposter remaining.

nearly a 30 point game in the Sweet 16

Incredible tournament

Are you kidding me. Nice.

Good heavens this looks too easy. Oregon will not fold up like the card board box 📦 Purdue. Young & talented Nike Stack. Swanigan good story but Jayhawks have an entire TEAM.
WAAAAYYYYYY too much for this BG 10 bunch. Walk one gets close da show yeah!!!

That's what they said about Purdue.

Mitch Don't Care.

We got a shot at 100!

MITCH YEAH !!!

eternal sunshine

Why not?

Painter had to get his starters out. KU walk-ons were making them look bad.

Tyler shot clock violation again?

Sounds like Purdues Rudy

Well I think that ended the NPOY debate.

Self gave the ball to Vang so TO on Vang, lol.

We're averaging 30 point margin of victory so far.

Total frilken domination of the tournament so far.

Enjoying but not totally expectated!

@approxinfinity Gets in the box score!

Thanks KU fans. Good night. Saturday night will even be better.

Joe dooley sighting

Mason, 26, 7, and 7. BIFM and the POY!

@Texas-Hawk-10 and enough gas left to dance.

@wissox I'm a coach man if ain't improving your regressing.

Keep Dancin' Frank!

@globaljaybird said:

MITCH YEAH !!!

MITCH! Should be really fun when he is JR/SR.

Anyone have TBone and the gang getting minutes tonight? WOW!

JUst Wow

Winner of KU/Oregon game gets the Big10 trophy.

Put the 88 mph whoopass on these Boilermakers- Fricasseed duck is up next.

@approxinfinity I know. I was cracking up looking at Frank dancing.......what music was he dancing to?

If you can't run??? You can't play with KU.

Wow I wouldn't have guessed we would won all 3 by 20+. Can't get cocky tho, outscored them 73-33 the last 28 minutes of the game. Great defense in that time.

@DanR !Screenshot 2017-03-23 at 11.44.39 PM.png ↗

Sorry so small.. so many people played for us :smile:

70=33 end of the game

WoW

Josh destroyed Swanigan. Swanigan got half his points on threes where Lucas was on him.

@Bwag said:

70=33 end of the game

WoW

Just unreal. KU was on fiiiiiiiiiiiiire 2nd half.

Fess up now. Who had KU hangin 30+ Purdue? I was hoping for 10 with 1 minute to go before the game.

try again:

!Screenshot 2017-03-23 at 11.46.21 PM.png ↗

@brooksmd i thought it would be a one possession game

@brooksmd said:

I didn't have thirty, but I knew KU would blow them out. Purdue can't run.

Defense won the game. Hitting shots is what won it by 30. What terrific ball movement this team is capable of. You simply can't defend ball movement like that

Post game on YouTube

If BIFM don't win POY I'm rioting and looting the sh** outta something.

@Blown That's what I was afraid of. Now get yur butt to the store before Saturday.

I thought it would be a very close game!

OMFG, they just destroyed Purdue!! Total annihilation. Domination. Next.

Outrebounded them by 7!!!!

KU just beat the B10 regular season champs by 32 points in the NCAA tournament. Just let that sink in.

@brooksmd not i

@Texas-Hawk-10

Most pts KU has ever scored in the first three games of the NCAAT.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said:

Actually, Duke is considered the official ACC "conference champions" champs by winning the ACC tournament. Since we beat them at the virtual beginning of the season, we can bookend their conference with UNC, whom they recognize as the "regular season champions.".

@Texas-Hawk-10 unbelievable.

Oregon loves to play zone. Time to shoot them out of the gym.

@mayjay Don't agree.

I don't byy conf tournament champion.

ISU out of the tournamnt

KU dominate in regular seadon and tournanment....

I know...doesn't fit with my dark side nature

@mayjay I was referring to regular season champs because Purdue and Oregon didn't win their tournaments.

@BShark Twin towers c0mbined for 9 and BIFM had 7 by himself.

POY

27 points

7 Rebounds

7 assists

Q: How did Frank introduce himself to Lightfoot?

A: Mitch, I'm Frank Mason.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Swanigan

18 points

7 rebounds...

only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades

Oregon will be a much tougher game. Oregon is the first team KU will play in the tournament that has guards.

@Bwag ya and he had a couple of 3s and bunnies late while we just fooled around up bye 25+.

This has to be the more complete game KU has played in a long time.

Looks like KU has been playing possum all season and now they have unveiled the real team and it is a something else. No mercy seems to be the motto, the teams goes for the kill and does not let up like they did earlier in the season.

All I heard was how the Purdue game was going to be tough. And now Oregon ??? Ok So KU only wins by 20

@DoubleDD I'd be happy if they just won the game.

Brooks and Dorsey are really friggin good. Also Dorsey was pretty interested in KU so he will probably play the game of his life.

@DoubleDD `Hope

The Oregon game will be a fast paced game. I'd think getting the ball inside minus their 7 footer will be good. Their guards are good, don't know if there Mason and DG good. On a side note it ticks me off that the guys at the tournament Central already talking about how they are down a guy..... Doka is still in cast fellas. The best quote of the night was I believe Reggie saying "Mason carries the equipment bags and makes the travel arrangements" haha.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said:

This KU team wants a championship. They isn't hoping to win. They be bringing it. Saturday it's Duck on the grill. .

Enjoy tonite. Get back to preparations hard tomorrow. Go get it fellas

@DoubleDD Ya man, I didn't even think about the added motivation that the bird dynamic will bring to the table.

@Bwag @Texas-Hawk-10

It isn't the same for the Big 12. That wording is the ACC terminology. Remember, they had a tournament long before anyone else did. Their tournament winner, the ACC conference champion, was the only team to get a bid back when there were no invitees other than conference champions and independents. It is their tradition, and they think it sets them apart.

The other conferences have tournaments for the money and the automatic bid, which means nothing in a power 5 conference.

Frank is now at 1838 career pts, putting him past Valentine for #6.

1 Danny Manning 20.1 2951

2 Nick Collison 14.8 2097

3 Raef LaFrentz 15.8 2066

KU will be the late game again Saturday.

@BShark It will be on TBS.

Oh man, if the Orca loses to Xavier what a cherry on top that would be.

@mayjay said:

CBS my friend. KU is the top dog.

@DoubleDD

No. The EE games are on TBS. Don't ask me why...

Is it set in stone??? We'll see.

@DoubleDD

Yes it was announced.

@DoubleDD CBS is not broadcasting the Saturday finals. Make plans accordingly. It is on TBS.

@BShark said:

@DoubleDD

Yes it was announced.

Must be because KU is blowing out everybody. LOL

@DoubleDD Both Saturday games.

@mayjay said:

@DoubleDD Both Saturday games.

That's weird.

@BShark said:

@DoubleDD

Only Saturday. Sunday games on CBS.

@DoubleDD It is because they share the rights. Turner owns TBS, TNT, and TruTV, the other 3 tourney networks. CBS is owned by CBS Corp.

@wissox I have more that I'll upload when I get home! Phone battery is low. Got an awesome time lapse video with my GoPro too

Zona or Zags, who y'all got?

@DoubleDD Check out Wikipedia on "cbs and tbs relationsip March Madness"

Excerpt:

Starting in 2016, the regional finals, Final Four and national championship game began to alternate between CBS and TBS. TBS holds the rights to the final two rounds in even numbered years, with CBS getting the games in odd numbered years.

Lots of info on there on how they break it down. Contract is in effect until 2032.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

The Orca.

I only have one criticism of our play and that's totally on Vick. Love the kid and he will be a key player the next 2 years. But showboating with a 360 dunk doesn't belong in the game. At least not in the KU game.

@BShark Me too, unfortunately.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

KU vs Zona would be a whale of a game.

It's too bad we'll never get to see a Dok/Karnowski matchup. That would also be a whale of a game.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Yeah talk about a couple of mammoths.

Tweet from ESPN: KU's Devonte Graham is the first player to hit at least four 3s in four straight NCAA tourney games since ... a young guy named Steph.

COME ON, XAVIER!!! GO GO GO

@KirkIsMyHinrich

I need oxygen.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Mack >>>>>>>> Sean Miller no matter how this ends.

Xavier wins

Omg the sea is parting for KU.

Kansas wins by 30. Xavier denies Sean Miller another FF appearance and the game ends with Bill Murray smiling. Best day ever man.

@Texas-Hawk-10 KU will beat them all !

!xavier.jpg ↗

Amazing come back from 8 down by Xavier....they just wanted it more than Arizona. Glad to see them win even when to busts my brackets, probably most bracket...

@KirkIsMyHinrich

I mean my word. Arizona has multiple NBA players. Xavier has Bluiett and a box of rocks.

In other news dook 6'10 forward Chase Jeter will transfer. Should we give a look??

@kjayhawks

Nevada or UNLV most likely.

@BShark Now go beat the Zags. Go Musketeers!

Chris Mack pantsed the Orca like Self does Roy. It was filthy. They will be cleaning up Orca bits off the floor for days.

Gotta say. If were fortunate enough to advance that far. I'm glad U of A won't be there to play in Phoenix. Even though I picked them to lose the national final to KU in my bracket.

BIFM and BFM.

!untitled.png ↗

@brooksmd my son and I loved the dunk!

Arizona fans taking this loss hard.

@Crimsonorblue22 Were you there?

@BShark I'm guessing you aren't doing much to ease their suffering.

@globaljaybird Sitting here waiting and hoping it rains since I put weed/feed down yesterday. Looks like rain but nothing so far. But in the mean time, nice to be able to re-watch the game and look at questionable calls in slo-mo. That 2nd half is just amazing. They stay loose and focused like last night there will be another banner in the rafters of the old barn. And I don't mean a FF banner either.

@brooksmd last night's second half reminds me of Usain Bolts WR run. He's coasting at the end, maybe slowing down but with his momentum, still moving faster than ANY MAN!

@brooksmd I just started my rewatch & am thinking about coach Self & that HOF vote later this Spring- I think we win he's in... Yeah these tournament games have been just way too sweet to not watch again. Maybe even more than once!! ROCK CHALK
