Gonna kick back and get my fill of hoops tonight. - So glad College ball is here.

Watching Wichita State & California right now - Cal in control pretty much the entire half. 47-38 at the half. - some dude for Cal averaged 5 points a game last year , averaging 25 points ppg this year - he has 26 points AT THE HALF named Coleman.

Then gonna watch me some Oklahoma State/Texas A&M at like 6:00 and then Baylor/Wisconsin - ahh yes is the season. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 Coleman kicking wsu butt

I'm not defending Wichita St here, because they are playing pretty uninspired basketball right now, but every piece of crap Cal is throwing up seems to be going in. 8/11 from 3. Just one of those days I guess. Shockers might be finding out that it's harder to play every game when you're the favorite and not the cute mid major underdog.

@jayballer54 HAHA! YuP WSU getting spanked like a puppy RN (right now) Its kinda awesome

Cal lost to the UC Riverside Highlanders by 8. Wichita St was a 19 point favorite entering the game. This is pretty surprising.

Odd to see WSU getting out hustled, they have a tough schedule and better pick it up quick.

@KirkIsMyHinrich wsu getting angry, coming back

@Crimsonorblue22 Wichita St is too good and too experienced not to make a run or two here.

@KirkIsMyHinrich @Crimsonorblue22 Id bet at this point WSU comes back and wins by 8 or 10. Cal hasn't even been challenged yet and young enough to panic once it's close again.

Wichita St can't throw a rock in the ocean today so they are going to have to do it by getting turnovers and scoring in transition.

Meanwhile, 3 pointers are hitting the rim and rolling in for Cal.

Really tough call on Shamet there.

@kjayhawks Good call.

Mercy Coleman the one that was pretty much the one responsible for the47-38 half time lead for Cal - Also had ALOT to do with them losing. - -Mercy was he/Cal out o control -- -just wild bumbling stumbling throwing up shots from what seemed like their ankles - trying to drive 1-3 Coleman was costly in the end. - -No answer For WSU press constant throwing to the corner and getting pinned. Thing is I didn't see their Coach calling time and making any adjustment.

I'll say this - -I sure haven't and after watching again tonight - I'm sure not losing any sleep with Connor transferring to WSU. - He does not impress me at all. I think when he came to KU it was a simple case he thought he was going to start or play a lot more - and when he didn't get what he thought he deserved - he pouted and transferred out. He really has showed me nothing even since he has been at Wichita St, 1-11 today- sorry he just DOES NOT impress me at all, I'm glad we have who we have and they can have Connor. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

WSU ends the game on a 14-2 run to win by 10. Experience really counted on this game.

@jayballer54 think cal's coach stayed in the locker room or went to the beach at half. 😳 Can we say press break?

What's the deal w/okie states uni's? Did I forget their colors?🤔

All the teams well most are displaying different uni's for the tourney I think - -they showed all of them earlier it's just one of those things I think. - -You remember Ku and some other teams wore some kind of different uni's I think what was it last year or the year before in s a tourney of some kind I think you remember? - I think this is on the same line. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 turquoise is pretty far off

Been watching creighton play.

Badgers getting smoked right now by Baylor.

@wissox at least it's another good win for the B12 if they hold on. I'm still kinda split on how tough I think the league will be.

@wissox Catching up!

Badgers suck at FT's. Baylor sucks at coaching. See which team sucks more!

Missouri barely beat emporia state, hardly anyone there, at mizzou. Same ole.

@Crimsonorblue22 Did Porter play?

Listened to Eye on College basketball podcast today from CBS. The episode was about the Ball saga and the Champions classic. They talked several minutes about MSU, then 20 more about Duke, then like 20 seconds about KU, then 12 more about Kentucky. Grrrrrrr.....

Iowa got beat by Louisiana Lafayette.

21 for chalmers tonight.

@wissox not michael, going to a specialist

@wissox Badgers within 2 with 2 mins to go.

@wissox Inabilityy to execute...snarl!

Embiid

@wissox I told you embiid was a good trash talker!🤣

@wissox

It is being reported that Porter will be seeing an specialist ↗, apparently his injury is more serious than previously thought.

@JayHawkFanToo I said that

@Crimsonorblue22

Oops. You post did not show up until I refreshed the browser. When I use the iPad I have to constantly refresh otherwise recent posts don’t always show. I need to check the browser settings although I have noticed the same thing with Windows, when I scroll up the bottom posts disappear.

@JayHawkFanToo Android phone doesn't do that. I just keep checking the notification icon for new posts.

@mayjay

On the iPad, when I get a notification and click on it, it takes me to a post and when I click on refresh, a bunch of new post show up underneath. I like the iPad because it has a big screen, it is light and I can use while watching tv; pretty convenient but with some issues.

@JayHawkFanToo - apparently he and his mother were seen boarding a flight to Dallas today. Tiger board seems in a consensus that it is a hip necrosis, but nothing from Fizzou administration. Still nothing definitive.

@Gorilla72 @Crimsonorblue22

Thanks for the info. This is very serious condition that if true will certainly end his season and could mean the end of his basketball career. I hate to see it on anyone but particularly on such as young and promising prospect.

1st half you posted something similar and then they fell apart. You jinxed us again. I'm kind of miffed at one kid who fooolishly fouled a 3 point shooter, then missed a dunk. Really cost us the game.

@wissox I jinxed them? Ha! I got them as close as they were!

I think they managed this one all by themselves.

Too many dumb plays, turning down open shots, missed bunnies, point guard looked almost panicky at times -- all curable. They will defintely learn, and I think you will see some good stuff.

Heard the announcers say later something about reconizing some about the State of Oklahoma and that they would be wearing these several time throughout the year. - -sorry not the best at spelling. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Porter didn't play and now they are saying they are not sure when he will. - -Some kind of mysterious leg injury, went from hip, now to leg hmmmm. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay I think your comment jinxed then. You're probably a big 10 hater and you got out your bobby knight doll and started poking needles in it. You chanted something about woody Hayes punching Clemson players and abracadabra Badgers miraculous comeback is thwarted.

Dang if what your saying about M Porter is true then that's not good, may not get on the floor again for Fizzou, can't stand Fizzou but hate to see Porter have that if that's the case. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox 1. Generally neutral about the Big 10 except for hating Penn State. Went to a Big 10 school (UMich). 2. First memories are of living in Akron and was Ohio State fan, but definitely was a Woody Hayes hater even before the Gator Bowl and before I was in Ann Arbor. 3. Was cheering for you and Wisconsin last night but for some reason you are insisting on blaming me, even though you almost gave up on them. ("What's with them negative waves, Moriarty?"). 4. Now I am sad and am gonna cwy. 5. Yes, Bobby K hater.

Marquette and WSU at 12;30 today on ESPN - - Baylor & Creighton at 9:00 on ESPN 2. - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay I do hate the Packers so if you can jinx them too.... ;) Hoping you know I'm playing around and not seriously blaming you.

@wissox @jayballer54 I don't hate the Packers. My DIL's family has season tickets so I am angling to go to Lambeau sometime!

And, @wissox, never fear: I am (as I say to my 4 year old grandson) only PRETEND cwying! Waaah Waaah Waaah! So that I can, pusuant to @JayHawkFanToo's instructions, make my eyes look really swell!

@jayballer54 Wow, that is sad for him. So much for MU resurrection, I guess.

Incidentally, if I thought you really blamed me, I am afraid I would have to stalk you with a butterfly net!

@mayjay I'd give anything to be able to see a game at Lambeau, only NFL team owned by the public - Even though our season went to hell in a hand basket when Aaron went down. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 Worst part of my honeymoon was being able to see Lambeau Field out my hotel room window one night.

Baylor looks rattled against Creighton as they trail by 9 at the half. That Hall of Fame Classic is loaded this year with UCLA, Baylor, Wisconsin and Creighton. I tell ya Creighton looks scary good, their defense is the best I've seen so far this year.

@wissox

I thought Faylor Starrs were declared an epistemic toxic waste dump after last season or three.

How can they still have a program?

Only 20 about UK?

Did Cal turn in a black glove and get a kiss of death?!!!

Baylor comes out and battles back for the W. I'm fairly impressed with bears, they got down 11 early in the second half and put the clamps on Creighton defensively, was a fun game watch.

Chaminade just kicking the hell out of California's butt - -by 21 - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 - when is the last time Chaminade wan a game in there own tournament? Wow....

@Gorilla72

In 1982 Chaminade beat then 8-0 #1 Virginia that featured phenom and 3 times Naismith POY Ralph Sampson in one the biggest upsets of all time.

@JayHawkFanToo - I should have researched this. Thanks! According to the Chaminade website, they are 7/78 over the years. They beat Rick Barnes’ Texas team twice (But who hasn’t?). O didn’t realize Chaminade is a Div II team.

@Gorilla72 Hmmmm......Similarly, KU is 12-71 in football over the past 83 games. We are a Div I team playing against Div I teams. You just might think we could do substantially better than a Div II bb team playing Div I teams over that many games.

Then again, Chaminade gets to recruit people to Hawaii. Lawrence--AFH-- is the Mecca of college hoops, but that isn't a paradise. Maybe we can put some palm trees in the stadium reno?

Goodness, how was WSU down by 18 to Cal? They are really bad.
