New Dynamics on the Court
Jan 13, 2018 05:31 PM #1

Well- Silvio looks a bit slow and sloppy- still so happy to have him eligible. 2 fouls for DG, I would like to see Svi distribute the ball. It would a great day if Svi and Newman showed off some chemistry and Sir-Dunks-A-Lot go crazy.

Jan 13, 2018 05:33 PM #2

Silvio is lucky not to have 1-2 additional fouls. I miss Lightfoot... but seriously Kstate is defending the outside shot well- adjust.

Jan 13, 2018 05:38 PM #3

I'd like to c someone play D on wade

Jan 13, 2018 05:39 PM #4

Great to see Silvio on the court! He will get it together, no doubt!

Jan 13, 2018 05:42 PM #5

@Crimsonorblue22 As announcers said, he is a tough match-up for us. Can post low and step out and hit the 3.

Jan 13, 2018 05:49 PM #6

I think Garret defended Dwade best. This might be the Kansas Kid's Super Bowl. Hopefully he cools off.

Jan 13, 2018 05:54 PM #7

Two bad turnovers in the last minute of the half.

Jan 13, 2018 05:56 PM #8

The 16-3 run they went on killed us......our offense went stagnant and they turned an 8 pt. deficit into a 5 point lead. Normally, if we hold a team to 34 at the half.......we've got a decent lead. A few missed layups early kept them in the game. Those 2 give ups.....one by Doke on the hustle play and one by DG late have really hurt us.

Jan 13, 2018 06:01 PM #9

There were the other 2 bunnies one from Svi and one from Newman. Reminds me of how smoothie Frank would have hit 3 out of those 4.

Jan 13, 2018 06:01 PM #10

@DCHawker svi short gator arm just can't get it

Jan 13, 2018 06:09 PM #11

smelling a run! Go Hawks!

Jan 13, 2018 06:13 PM #12

Wade is a hell of a player, he really just doesn't take enough shots in most games.

It was a pretty horrible offensive sequence. This team can be really bad or great it's bizarre.

Jan 13, 2018 06:16 PM #14

The Dok dunk came with playing Graham off ball, Newman point. A set play, but I liked it!

Jan 13, 2018 06:23 PM #15

Is lightfoot better with Silvio on the bench, not a threat yet, but motivation? I like his D today.

Jan 13, 2018 06:35 PM #16

@BShark Stretches where they look just awful on offense. Have squandered a 9 point first half lead and 11 point second half lead. KSU is getting better looks...

Jan 13, 2018 06:35 PM #17

Vick, get in the game!

Jan 13, 2018 06:39 PM #18

There is no reason why KSU should outrebound us, mone.

Jan 13, 2018 06:42 PM #19

Hi Jayhawks! Long time no see friends!

Jan 13, 2018 06:44 PM #20

Finally Vick...

Jan 13, 2018 06:47 PM #21

@JayHawkFanToo He and Newman have been mostly no shows. Newman made the 3 in the first minute and nothing since.

Jan 13, 2018 06:48 PM #22

Well, win or lose, I get to take a nap. Hopefully with some sweet dreams.

Jan 13, 2018 07:36 PM #23

1 pt win in Lawrence? Too close for comfort. But I'll take it. Beggars can't be ... you know...too picky right now. Wins are going to be ugly going forward. Its a dog eat dog conference.

Jan 13, 2018 07:39 PM #24

The WVU and TT game is going to be interesting. I think a TT victory just might be in order?

Meat grinder game wow.

Jan 13, 2018 07:44 PM #26

Great to see Silvio get on the floor, he has a long ways to go but I think he’ll be helpful next month.

Jan 13, 2018 07:50 PM #27

TCU at OU is good

Jan 13, 2018 07:51 PM #28

Trae Young consistently bails out OU he is great.

Jan 13, 2018 07:57 PM #29

OU down 1 with the ball 16 seconds left. :eyes:

Jan 13, 2018 07:58 PM #30

This is a game. TCU needed a score there to ensure they wouldn’t lose.

Jan 13, 2018 08:01 PM #31

OT

Jan 13, 2018 08:02 PM #32

Fisher used the wrong hand to lay it in but it went in

Jan 13, 2018 08:02 PM #33

No days off in the Big 12.

Jan 13, 2018 08:06 PM #34

TCU fading unfortunately.

Jan 13, 2018 08:11 PM #35

Yep - too many soft layup floater attempts getting blocked

Jan 13, 2018 08:11 PM #36

But maybe with a stop

Jan 13, 2018 08:20 PM #37

TCU is stupid. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

They need 2 possessions and kept trying to penetrate where they’ve been blocked about 6 times in the last 14 game minutes

Jan 13, 2018 08:24 PM #38

TCU drops to 1-4 in the league with all losses bye 5 or less points, two in overtime. They are good but they may have just gave away any chance to win the conference. They will have a say in who wins it if they can get some upsets.

Jan 13, 2018 09:21 PM #39

WVU loses!!!!

Jan 13, 2018 09:30 PM #40

4 way tie for first...

Jan 13, 2018 10:04 PM #41

@JayHawkFanToo And we go to Motown.

Jan 13, 2018 10:06 PM #42

@kjayhawks Better not be us because our next game with the Frogs will be in the Phog. Let's hope the boyz have the home losing funk removed at this point.

Jan 14, 2018 02:01 AM #43

@truehawk93

KU is unbeaten on the road; I almost prefer playing on the road.

Jan 14, 2018 02:09 AM #44

@JayHawkFanToo absolutely. And we will find out what this team is made of Monday. Win or lose isnt a deal breaker on that theory. But maybe just maybe they have the recipe to feed off a hostile crowd and win the road. I hope so. That's a team that will surprise ppl in March.

Jan 14, 2018 02:26 AM #45

@cragarhawk

A win Monday and KU is back in control.

Jan 14, 2018 02:30 AM #46

I don't see it. Keeping the game single digits would be surprising to me.

Jan 14, 2018 02:55 AM #47

@BShark That makes sense. But does this team make any sense?

Jan 14, 2018 02:58 AM #48

@JayHawkFanToo true story. But still not a deal breaker in the league race. It would help immensely though obviously. I fear we would trade that game back to them on the return trip... Lol. But winning one of them either way right now would be huge.

Jan 14, 2018 03:01 AM #49

@HighEliteMajor as I sat in Omaha watching Tyshawn and the lil Jayhawk engine that could stink it up for 39 minutes against Purdue they made no sense to me... I would have bet many $$ that team wasn't winning another game that year. Not saying this team has that yet of course... But who knows. They just might.. we shall see

Jan 14, 2018 03:05 AM #50

@cragarhawk This team can beat anyone. Of course, the converse seems to be true as well. Weird things can happen. Why not this season?

Jan 14, 2018 03:13 AM #51

@HighEliteMajor all the years I thought we not only could but would win it all... And didn't. Years I thought we had no business making it as far as we did they some how made it happen. It is very weird indeed. And this team maybe the most weird of all. You said it. Why not this year. The entirety of CBB is funky. Nobody is a sure thing ever and it seems exponentially so this season.

Side note-I felt the 02 team had a better shot at going to and winning the ship than did the 03 team.

I felt the 07 team with Julian had a better shot at the ship than did the 08 team. In fact after the Davidson game I told everyone UNC would destroy us. I never believed that team would win the title until Mario hit the shot.

Jan 14, 2018 03:28 AM #52

@HighEliteMajor

At this point KU is a good team not a great team. Great teams have a decent margin of error and can win even when playing below par, this team’s margin of error is razor thin and an average game wil not cut it against the better teams.

Fair point...this team is erratic.
