My computer has told me that I do not have the privledge level to download and post KU action photos. Until I figure this out, would some of you post action photos of our previous game with the Sooners and also some of your favorite moments of Sherron Collins as our halftime Honoree tonight.
Looking at the Big 12 stat sheet which I am unable to post, KU is in the middle and towards the bottom of many of the important stats. My question is, how are we in first place? Is it just Bill Self?
Hey Deuce! That's what it feels like to play pt guard at KU! They never want to leave!
@wrwlumpy We win ugly. We conserve energy. We have the number 1 SOS in RPI, so we're always playing tough teams. The games come down to a possession or two unless the opposing coach has a conniption fit, and gets tossed. These are guesses - I have no idea how we have played so badly at times, and are at 10-4. I have no idea why we're being considered a 1 seed by the two most prominent bracket guys in the country. This has to be one of the most oddball teams we've ever had.
@KUSTEVE indeed. I think the lack of consistency is the most frustrating part. Sometimes they play tough, defend and rebound well and play somewhat smart, then we see clunker games like Arizona State and Washington where they don't look like they care that much. This week would be an ideal time to string together two good games in a row.

He doesn't have the faintest idea of what being a team player means or how to be one.
Josh j home today!
@RockChalkinTexas Holly's our DOLLY!
DOJO...haha Doke and Josh
I think Svi just asked Holly for something to eat, and from the look on her face, the position of the hand doesn't look to favorable for Svi. Walk away from the table Svi, walk away.

WHAT?!
Yet another potential KU Revenge Bracket after the 1 vs 16 game!
Ya, I wondered when I heard Trae say this. " I'm being guarded like nobody else in the Nation now I've forgot the other part" - -when I heard this I thought what? - that just didn't sound right
Now Jay Williams & Seth Greenberg both have brought it up. -Jay said as a player you may thin things-- -BUT things you don't say. Seth pretty much repeated as much the same thing - - saying there is just like a protocol - things not said.
Again when I heard this the other day I thought then something just didn't sound right when he said that - thought maybe just me - but then they brought this up right off the bat tonight.
It almost came off as like some spoiled little kid pouting - like saying why - why are you playing against me like this. - Seth said Trae has to realize this is just the way it is - -and he isn't playing AAU ball and he is playing against some of the best in the Nation. - Just some strange words I thought. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@jayballer73 I hope we cover him like a glove all day long, baby!
I turned it on expecting there to be 12 minutes left in the earlier game.
Instead, I was treated to the Trae Young excuse fest
Great start for KU tonight!

Trae: I'm getting guarded like nobody else in the country.
That's because nobody plays like you and that's not necessarily a compliment.
Dang the okies are icy cold. Sure hope they stay that way. Would love to hang a nasty record setting loss on em tonight
Total spanking!
Graham channeling Sherron tonight.
I'm enjoying Mitch's block party as well!
Even though Garrett missed that lay up, I love seeing him play more aggressively on offense.
Dok with more silly fouls.
Desousa in and Graham out, don't see that every day
Garrett with the calm put back, love it
Having fun
Somebody needs to take me to tt
Lol, a little non call payback, as defender jumps, falls on desousa as desousa collapse under the weight, he's called for traveling. Uh yea.
Nice to see DeSousa get some extended minutes with this lead.
@Texas-Hawk-10 yes but no Dok really hurts us. Seems like he is automatic for two fouls every first half.
Texas Hawk 10 said:

Playing fairly well too.
Most points by the 'Hawks in a B12 half this year, but how come I feel nervous about just a 10 point lead? We shoot 60% from the field, better than 50% from 3 (9 makes) and outrebound OU by 8. With those stats, we should be up 20. Not a good last 3 or 4 minutes, esp. with transition defense (or lack thereof).
The first four minutes of the second half will tell us a lot. OU is still very much in this. No coasting.
The biggest problem for KU in the first half besides Doke on the bench was 9 turnovers. That's a lot considering OU barely plays defense.
Graham also got some rest. This game is crazy.
It's a given that KU will get more fouls called this game after the 35 FTs we got against WVA.
Power failure in a Olathe. Thank God for hotspot and iPad.
That should've been a no call. Doke did nothing but stand still.
@Texas-Hawk-10 True, but he also didn't put much effort to tie up the ball when it was on the floor...
They are getting all of their points right at the rim...

Lightfoot with 3 fouls hurts too. He can't go for those blocks right now.
This team would be a lot better if Vick played like an upperclassman.
DeSousa is a stud, but the refs are giving him all the bad calls.
Thanks Vitale, I had no idea about our recruiting class.

Kid is showing out tonight.
Wow
Smooth
This is honestly shocking from Silvio. He looked lost before. Gotta try to get him more minutes going forward. His athleticism is very apparent.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: SILVIO HAS MORE POINTS THAN DEUCE YOUNG.
Or is it UN now @jaybate-1-0 ?
The young freshman is making the most with the opportunity tonight. Smooth FT stroke in addition to some strong grabby hands

It looks like it's starting to click for him. DeSousa becoming a legit option would be huge for KU going forward into March.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Could not agree more. Even if he just becomes reliable for 7-10 minutes a night that would be HUGE.
Fran Fraschilla is a huge doucher. Just said on twitter that Silvio playing well is all about OU sucking...
Buster 1926 said:
Damn good recognition by Garrett on the lob. And I repeat- da lob again!
If there is one thing I expect from Garrett at this point, it's to correctly read the play and the flow of the game.
Josh Jackson at the game and loving it.
Consider the source. He's not worth your finger strength. Fran knows sucking. Now why isn't he coaching? Oh...right, he is a big time bball analyst.

FORMER coach for a reason. Always. Lol. Greenburg (sp?) too.

That's believable, not
Awesome that Josh is already coming back for games. He is good for the brand. With our OADs I feel that Henry, Oubre, Josh and Embiid all loved KU. Didn't get that vibe from Wiggs.
I think the 3 pointers made record is in jeopardy tonight.
Lets hundo ball these donks
@Texas-Hawk-10 15-27 right now...
Newman's step back is so pretty
I've tried to follow Romeo's recruiting news. The latest is most think IU is out. I thought that a LONG time ago. They are just now realizing that if he was going to choose IU, he would have done so. I agree. He's not going to IU.
Now it's down to Vandy and KU. He wants to play for good players. Well, Vandy has two good frosh players coming in and that's good, but they aren't proven and neither is their coach...Drew? At any rate, Romeo wants to WIN championships. I don't understand why the "experts" were so hell bent on him going to IU and Vandy. The kid will come in and play with Dotson, Grimes, Garrett, DeSousa, and Big Dave. We have a HOF coach, and we are right behind our 14th consecutive conference championship.
Now, will someone tell me, please...why would he go to Vandy?

That was a NASTY discard.
Why not put Cunliffe in for a while now???

You even forgot to mention our best player next year. Dedric Lawson.
Did Doke just knock 2 guys down on that dunk?

R.I.P.
Nice butt whoopin. Tech is the next victim.
Boy if Silvio can keep playing like this....
Biggest conference win of the season so far. Silvio’s coming out party is awesome.
That sound you hear is the sound of all cylinder hitting in sync.
@HawkChamp TTU does have a much better defense than OU...
Jesse NewellVerified account @jessenewell
KU is at 1.52 PPP. Best ever in Self era was 1.54 PPP in 08 vs. Texas Tech.
Meat Necklace watch is on.
Going to be 100+ Tonight, that's a nice change.
More importantly, AFH home advantage is back with a vengeance.:smile:
This is just an old fashioned ass whippin tonight.
John Travolta says it best about KU's play tonight...
(
Was just going to say that. Major ass kickin tonight
Cunliffe got in there with the walk-ons. PArty is on.
HOLY SHIT SAM
Ok, who says TT goes down against WVU?
I DO

Self just uncaged the beast, and he's hungry.

Won't matter after KU beats them Saturday.
Also, OSU is a one point favorite over Tech on Wednesday night. Should be noted that Baylor was also a small favorite over Tech last Saturday.

That would almost wrap things up...
I have one last post tonight...
Beat The Raiders, RCJHGOKU
Arguably the most complete game KU has played all season. Looks like peaking at the right time.

Great response from the team after being called out by Self. Could have easily went the other way.
Sports center called the dunk of the game that one by Desousa. That last one by Sam looked pretty authoritative too! I second the notion it's the most complete game of the year. Love the full bench usage too
It's good to be Jayhawk!
Current mood

WOW!
This is exactly what I was talking about a few weeks ago inserting Vick and Newman back into the line up.Swinging the ball side to side, not caring about about who’s shooting the ball. 5 guys operating as a unit, BEAUTIFUL. One of the best displays of playing together and some of the best ball movement I’ve ever seen.
Malik Newman: The only thing on our mind was getting payback.

Damn, Vitale feels bad for Kruger? Make him an announcer. Tell him how to be a better freakin coach. That’s precisely why he’s been near every where he’s been. His ceiling has been reached & he’s gone on the next train 🚂. Start by teaching him how to coach defense.
Give the guy a break! He's hoping they elimnate the 30 second clock and allow the stall like when he played.
Hey Krueger, karma's a bitch!
Cool sign- clay young is better than Trae young! Crowd rode Trae hard. He turned his back completely away from our introductions while the rest of his team watched. Point?
@JayHawkFanToo agreed. Great game by our Hawks. Best D we have played all year. 3's were falling. Passes were crisp. Tons of dunks.
All that said, how awful is OU? Is this a tournament team? I say no. They likely lose another game or so.
