Expecting to see us play well today

A Great day to be a Jayhawk!

After seeing Duke and Nova show the world just how good they are makes me think it is our turn. Our guys are going to be locked in and ready to compete. RCJH.

is there anyone at Intrust Arena who saw Dok warm up? I'm curious if he's still limping.

Very clearly not 100%.

Mitch starting. Buckle up!

Rock Chalk ready to go.

i hope the team is more poised about this game than i am .... i'm nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Put me in Coach. I move so slow that Even a quicker big would have problems with shaking me. I move to slow to get shaked out of my shoes. LOL

@KUSTEVE

[link text](

Lmao

Delgado a problem as expected.

And again sh lost the ball

@Crimsonorblue22 Devonte turning it over a lot too. Hectic game.

Devonte trying to do too much. Just make the easy play

@BShark call them out too is what I meant

Well Graham turning over the ball 3 times. Mitch playing good, besides the foul. Doka is playing. Desousa to come.

Glad Doke is in.

@DoubleDD Mitch tries but tough for him to rebound matched up with Delgado.

BShark said:

Yes. Already has give up three offensive rebounds.

Yes. Already has give up three offensive rebounds.

People will say he rebounded well against Penn but it was a product of opponent + their gameplan. Penn was basically retreating every shot so they didn't get beat back down the floor.

@BShark

Not really worried about Mitch. Starting to worry about Graham though.

Get it together GRaham.

Foul on Delgado

6:1

I am not on any SHU boards but I bet they are complaining about the refs.

Refs trying to be too big a part of this game imo.

Delgado worried about big doke?

Delgado scared of Doka. LOL

3 Sec too

Silvio had no idea what to do on that possession.

Playing great just keep it up this team can't score on our d

🙏 Silvio!

@Crimsonorblue22 @DoubleDD I'd be afraid of Doke too! Glad he is able to play!

Just gotta take advantage of our foul advantage

Let’s take and run this game!

Yeah I mean wtf. Playing okay defense. Who knew this team had it in them?

Scouted well so far, guys engaged

@BShark me❤️💙🏀🏀🏀🗣💃

Looking good guys!

Seton Hall getting rooked on some calls, and we're playing well. Everything our way.

Refs do seem set on calling everything

@BShark

don't know about the refs in past games. Some crews call every ticky- tack others have to see blood before they call a foul

@Buster-1926 This is the worst defensive team at KU under Self imo. Part of it is being so thin and only playing one post.

Travel calls often seem very selective. People travel every play.

De Souuuuuuuuusa

Agree. Wish there was some consistency.

Such heady play by graham

TO SH trying to stave off the knock out punch. So Glad mister De Sousa has arrived. Me happy.

approxinfinity said:

De Souuuuuuuuusa

He has the dunking thing down in addition to the rebounding thing. :100:

15-6. I’ll take that!

Though not thrilled with only 15 about halfway through first half

West Virginia fouled out already

@DoubleDD This is much more of a game for De Sousa than the Penn game. Some others here as well as myself called it beforehand.

Bwag said:

Though not thrilled with only 15 about halfway through first half

It's going to open up at sometime

Graham was fouled early and often in the game but no call. Recently, the calls have been there. Officials are seeing the bumping and hacking. Lots of physical play, but I like our execution early.

I lost cable for an hour an a half late pm, thought it was going to throw off all my good mojo off. Back on in time for pregame😅

@BeddieKU23 WVU Marshall is gonna be WILD.

Really liking the energy everyone bringing. 50 / 50 balls all ours.

Once Devonte settles down, look out.

The more we keep this lead the more they will look to speed it up. Right now they have no advantage set on hall that is

Vick?

To follow up on that 4 of the 5 best players for Marshall are from WVU and were deemed "not good enough" for a scholarship from WVU. SO YEAH THERE IS THAT.

Oh man. DeSousa, dont hedge 6 feet from the basket, lol.

Omg foul

Delgado eating.

DeSousa dude...

Someone's not rotating

Was DeSousa not fouled on that last rb

Silvio showing his youth.

Foul trouble in the SH back court.

Defense falling apart

Of course 60% makes them

@BeddieKU23 I mean this isn't a good defensive team.

They did really well with fts against NCST.

They foul every time

Marcus's feet feel so much quicker on drives than the start of the season.

quick first step, long strides

He's got to work on those

Garrett isn't who we want on the line lol.

BeddieKU23 said:

They foul every time

And bitch about it!

these guards are guardbage

Bullshit

Unbelievable

Falling asleep now.

good job doke! MY BOARD

@BShark threw away 4 points.

That was not a foul on Garrett tho

Hows the game going? Just got home, had to be a dad and watch my daughter play lacrosse.

1-6 from three for KU....

Bout time

newman time

Whining

@wissox started out great. feeling good about our chances.

LOL

Keep punching and grinding!!!

Refs really suck

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Whining

SHU players LOVE to complain. Shut up and hoop. Refs told Delgado to stop whining according to some at the game.

Refs really suck

@BShark Getting them in foul trouble, but not taking advantage.

Kind of felt KU feel asleep for a second?

Just needed to say that twice

Garrett showing he's not ready to play. Can't hit FTs and can't handle defensive pressure. Self was very slow to sit him down.

@Big-Clyde52 Well, Graham at the line should be a big upgrade over Garrett...

approxinfinity said:

@wissox started out great. feeling good about our chances.

That's good, I've been a nervous wreck all afternoon which is crazy because I'm more nervous for a KU game than for my daughters lacrosse games!

We'll grind them down if we stay aggressive.

Need to keep playing good d. Our overall defense is much better with Dok on the floor.

BeddieKU23 said:

Just needed to say that twice

Understandable, refs have been trash.

@stoptheflop

Agreed those ft were terrible

I'm fine with the refs calling it tight, favors us anyway because it takes away the Big East bruiser style of play.

approxinfinity said:

We'll grind them down if we stay aggressive.

Would not complain if SHU has players foul out...

Frustrating that SH went through that drought and we couldn't extend the lead more.....

Just wanna say sure hope Doka comes back for another year.

@Texas-Hawk-10 with you. would prefer not to get mugged this game.

When have the refs ever not sucked?

BREAKING: Kansas is much better when Udoka Azubuike plays.

these guys shoot wide open threes like they really dont want to be shooting 3s.

Unreal

Good foul Vick. good Foul

Bad call.

Wow

1-5 from ft, 1-7 from 3

Sucks

BLOCK

HOLY F---- BULLS--T open your eyes ref!

Missing free throws really not helping

Sorry Malik, not a good shot. Sorry refs a clean block.

Very trash call there.

Malik is gonna get his tonight.

Newman time

@BeddieKU23 it, took me about 5 minutes to figure out the refs suck.

uggggh

i'm beginning to hate these floppy ass guards.

Bad shots

@wissox Our shooting is what sucks!!

1-8 from three.

That Vick foul was a clean block, refs blew that one.

Vick now 2 fouls :/

Way to blow the lead assses

Good grief we are playing so dumb right now.

On the bright side I guess it's tied and KU is 1-8 from three...

Unreal a 14 5 run

My fault, I just turn it on and it falls all apart.

@BeddieKU23 Both teams are streaky so I'm not too surprised.

Aaaand SHU leads.

Falling apart. choke

Great

Might want to run an offensive set or something idk.

SHU is NOT known for their defense - yet, we are throwing up quick off balance jumpers...

What happened? What did I miss?

Mitch has nothing for Delgado sorry guys...

@BShark Playing 4 against 5 with Garrett in there.

DoubleDD said:

SHU on the war path

DCHawker said:

Not even trying to run offense tbh

Almost went three times but I imagine we are not done

Yup

Bill play Silvio and Doke the rest of the way. That is all.

Oh god another wasted trip doke to brick a ft

Um I'm getting this feeling KU is playing a certain way no matter what? coach just let them play.

SHU has their good players on the bench for this run. Unreal.

Seriously, some really bad calls...Vick block and that out of bounds just now....we didn't touch it.

We are in the double bonus and three of their starters have 2 fouls. DG, Svi and Malik should drive downhill every possession the rest of the half...

Yep, keep trying to shoot out of the slump. Yep, that will work lol

This run by Seton Hall started with multiple missed free throws.

Hawk8086 said:

Vegas

Not surprised though, I have SHU in the EE.

Need to hit some shots.

1-9 from 3 and 1-5 in FTs isn't going to get it done....

So after doke misses that's about 5 missed ft and a ton of bricks airballs

Better than Marcus

Delgado already with a double double - getting abused down low by them...

We need a good 4 minutes here.

DCHawker said:

1-9 from 3 and 1-5 in FTs isn't going to get it done....

This is really the crux of it

Down 1

Their pt carries the ball

Bout time Svi made a layup!

Garrett fighting for that RB

Attack the rim is the strategy I see working right now.

@Texas-Hawk-10 2 in a row!!

Up 1

@Texas-Hawk-10 FOR REAL

@Texas-Hawk-10 2

Svi taking over.

Was out

Newmann lucky he didn't get called for pushing that guy on the baseline

Newmannnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Chalka boom

FINALLY A THREE

augh

Stuck that 3. Oops

Jump ball ours

@BShark But many more really ugly ones...

@Bwag

Lmoa

the spirit to punch back is really good. Need D'tae to get his mojo going

Friendly fire

BE OKAY GRAHAM

Oh man Graham is hurt.

Shit. Please no concussion.

Can they call a foul on that? :)

Should be fine

That's cutting a screen a little too close.

@BShark Cuz if he's not....

Got Tucker Vanged.

No and 1 at least

Bullshit refs you freaking suck

blah

@BeddieKU23 ball don't lie

Malik, so far the hero.

Newmannnnnnnnnnn

Beauty Newman

Newmannn

Boom

Okay Malik

Happy St Patty's Jay Malik, Luck of the I-Swish

Hope Graham is starting second half because they were checking him for a concussion.

A few more made FT's sure would look good.

Malik picking up where he left off in the B12 tourney. We need that. Also would like Vick to continue. And YES: FREE THROWS.

Hope Graham is ok. We are screwed if he isnt

@Big-Clyde52 yeah. What would the game look like if were were at 80% there

3-12 from 3 and 2-7 at the FT line - and still up by 5... We have to play better in the 2nd half, right????

If we could limit Delgado's penetration that would be awesome.

Doke was concerned!

@HawkChamp Yes, and I feel good about the 5 pt lead with him having a bad half.

Deny Delgado ball and double team. don't get the feeling this team is going to bury us from 3.

Yeah, 5 points feels very tenuous.

That said, it's low scoring so far. Gotta make sure they don't go UMBC / Can't miss in the second half.

@approxinfinity Watch out for Carrington.

So dumb question, wasn't that official to when dg went down? Why did they get the ball?

Poor 3s and FTs, ton of bricks...yet we go in at the half with a lead? They'll figure it out and make adjustments. They are pushing hard and trying to drop the hammer, too eager, and anxious. Unfortunately, there are no cupcakes in our path to the F4. Dook and UK had cake walk games today.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

So dumb question, wasn't that official to when dg went down? Why did they get the ball?

I think they may have called a travel

@Crimsonorblue22 thought they called double dribble.

@Big-Clyde52 I agree - I don't think they beat us with just Delgado scoring 2 point buckets at a 50% clip. I wouldn't double team him - don't let Carrington or the other guards get clean looks from deep...

@HawkChamp thx

All things considered being up 5 ain't bad.

@DCHawker they can switch it up, at the beginning of the game Svi doubled down and stole two entry passes... wouldnt mind seeing that mixed in, maybe not whole 2nd half.

I'm a little perplexed? I think KU wins (to much fire power). Yet I'm feeling like Coach is playing not to lose, instead of playing to win? Anybody feeling the same?

@DoubleDD more doke

@DCHawker I agree. Carrington can shoot it.

@DoubleDD It's a feeling I've had most years in the tournament...

@DCHawker

I kind of feel that Coach is being suckered into to playing a big man game? Coach you play a 4 and 1. Play to your strengths.

WOW 20 seconds left, down 2, tennessee gets it to schofield, bucket and 1.

DoubleDD said:

That's the way it always is before the final four.

Anyone hear the Seton Hall player who was interviewed saying Hall was going to dominate us today?

@wissox that kid averages 2 points a game. (so i hear from other commenters)

I think it was a travel??? maybe? I didn't see a call either.

@wissox can’t believe you would put family before Kansas tournament games:)

@wissox seriously, tivo the family and watch it later.

@Blown I can. I had a blast, but it was freezing cold, but they did beat Taylor and Ball St.

Tennessee is Gone. Custer wins it.

Chicago's hope still alive!

wow.. what a finish! I had Loyola in this game but picked Tenn.

so they come back or M2m or zone ?

Wow. And Kentucky is the highest seeded team in the South.

approxinfinity said:

@wissox that kid averages 2 points a game. (so i hear from other commenters)

Yeah he barely plays and he sucks lol.

Err.. Cinci 2 seed?

South is a madhouse. Cincy vs UK looking more and more likely.

KU hasn't begun to play good basketball yet up 5. I'm sorry this big from SH is nothing,. KU just needs to play their game, and Coach just needs to Coach his team like he has all year. No fear.

Graham ok

He will start 2nd half

@approxinfinity Cincy is a 2 seed in the south and still alive.

double double in first half. he’s something !!

We just have to keep Powell from 3s and make shots

Blown said:

Every game it seems a big does this

BeddieKU23 said:

That's great. Close call there

!0_1521332566284_Screenshot 2018-03-17 20.20.48.png ↗

At the half.

And we get stuck in the bracket which besides Syracuse is playing to seed. Go figure.

@Blown

What does it matter if you get a double/double or a triple/triple and still lose? He's a good player not a game changer. KU just needs to just play their game.

Wow we're 2-7 on FT's.

Guy clealy stepped out. these refs are bush league.

Layupsss

Good job Doke!

NOICE

he's all wild eyed lol you got this buddy.

mmm mmm mmm nice Svi

Nice pass dg too

oh yea that Delgado is a bad man. LOL

bringing mitch in...

Get back on D please

I think him hanging on the rim was a sign... think he did that to avoid impact to the knee.

Doka with one leg punked Delgado. LOL

Svi

Sustain

Svi is very aggressive tonight...

massive travel.

just... awful awful reffing.

Got lucky

@approxinfinity Svi like?

These guys are soft inside right now. We need to attack attack attack

Damn Mitch! Get on the right side

Lightfoot has to figure out how to board man

we appear to be slowing down..sucking air. Time out came at a good time for us.

Killing us on the glass without Doke.

🐦 View Tweet

I'm with Russ Rob.

well he got that easy lane because he moved to shoot establishing pivot foot, got challenged, and then stepped first with other foot to attack baset.

Wonder if Svi has ever reached double figures without making a 3???

approxinfinity said:

Rough. He has nothing for Delgado.

approxinfinity said:

Absolutely

Ref right there and sees nothing

BeddieKU23 said:

He just isn't good at it don't let the Penn game fool you.

Love our aggressiveness this half

@DoubleDD you said this big from SH is nothing. I’m just saying that is an incorrect comment. He is a stud.

Delgado can get his as long as the D stays solid everywhere else. Not sure I want us doubling him in the post if it means someone else gets going and can get hot.

Refs aren't gonna call traveling on Delgado period. Just have to deal with it. Way more Doke and some Silvio would be nice.

missed that dudes foot out of bounds bad

Kcmatt7 said:

Delgado is an extremely good passer. Need Doke in as much as he can possibly play.

Doke back in!

@BShark He can score, rebound and pass, but he's not really a rim protector. We need to continue to penetrate - I don't think they can stop us.

@BShark exactly. It’s why we didn’t double him from the start.

Garrett needs to hit FYs

Smart play by Doke. SMARTER BY SHU TO FOUL GARRETT THO.

:thumbsup: marcus

@Kcmatt7

You see you worried about Delgado. When you should be worried about KU just playing their game?

Beautiful dg

Carrington, channel your inner Covington and go brick postal on us.

Extend & Sustain

buhbye Rodriguez.

Rod u r a bully

Getting them in foul trounle.

@DoubleDD Delgado is basically their only good player lol

DO NOT LET UP!!!

@DCHawker We can hope...

wow the "doke's little buddy play" worked again

@BShark

exactly

Sweet

Beautiful!!

Clinic!!!!

Delgado is afraid of Doke. For real.

Absolutely can't take Doke out unless he is totally gassed. He changes this game.

Doke’s passing is becoming a thing.

A consistent thing!

@BShark so is dg

Now step on them!!!

@DoubleDD I’m not that’s why I said let him get his...

These timeouts usually result in an easy bucket for them let's see if we can force them out

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BShark so is dg

Well that's always been the case with Graham he is out best guard by a large margin. Gonna miss him next szn.

Maybe that's what happened to the missing mustache player!

@Kcmatt7 Make him score over Doke 1 on 1 imo.

Just beautiful basketball by the Jayhawks. I live for this- I love this so much...

Passing clinic out there

KUSTEVE said:

BShark said:

Hey I said that first? Yet by all means take credit.

14 plus

wonder what the stats for doke +\~

Doke and the coming of Silvio let this team do a lot. Can run better with anyone now and can take it to you in the post if we need to.

Did not listen to me and SHU cans a three...

lol

oooh vick! YES LAGERALD you're a bad man!

lookie here: this is a really good Jayhawk team. They are dismantling a very good team.

Do not let Carrington get open - they aren't going to beat us with the other guys...

You know your in trouble when Vick starts hitting the 3

doke lollolol

Sub doke now and give him the 12 tomeout

angry hippo face!

Unreal

That was a GD flop

Walk

Unreal

SOFT ASS REFS

ahhh bull sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh**TTTTTTTTTTTTt call.

If the refs cost us Doke I'm gonna be pissed

this officiating is a nightmare

! ↗

FINALLY CALLED HIM FOR TRAVELLING IM GONNA FAINT

Doke's gonna tear a rim down on Delgado after that flop at some point tonight.

Like I said you know your in trouble when Vick is feeling it.

You cant leave Carrington!!!

@BeddieKU23 !alt text ↗

Carry-ington

are you f'in kidding? he missed it because HE MISSED IT

Ban these bitch was refs

This is one of the worst ref games...

That's a foul? lol

Wow these refs a very ticky tacky. Anybody know what conference they come from?

Delgado used that shoulder move/push on Lightfoot and Lightfoot fell back. Delgado tried that shoulder push/move on Doke and he flew backwards.

No foul called earlier in the game - advantage SHU.

Foul on Doke called just now - advantage SHU as Doke left the game.

Miss a travel then call a bs foul. lol

That foul was clearly on the rim

Someone pushed the B-Dubs button

refs watching the spread or what

Vick playing great just so we can change the topic

riff raff refs

Self needs to holler and educate them

@BeddieKU23 glimpse of the old Vick.

Kcmatt7 said:

@BeddieKU23 glimpse of the old Vick.

I'll take it

Dok doesn't need to use that elbow. He just needs to go up and shoot.

@Kcmatt7 love it, pretty sure something was wrong w/him

We can't leave Carrington open!

@BeddieKU23 well this team can beat literally anyone if the 4 guards all play to their abilities. Graham is the one slacking tonight oddly enough.

Doke and Newman back in.

@Hawk8086 EXACTLY!!!

doke back in is a mistake

@Crimsonorblue22 getting out of Lawrence might be what he needed. No distractions... I haven’t heard good things about how he spends his free time

someone call Delgado Protective Services.

Dg not playing to shabby

SPLAT! Big basket for svi tonight

NEED TO QUIT DOUBLING IN THE POST

WTF - do not leave Carrington period. Delgado is NOT going to beat us!!!!!

DCHawker said:

WTF - do not leave Carrington period. Delgado is NOT going to beat us!!!!!

AGREEEEEEEE

Really can't stand Carrington

@BeddieKU23 and rod

Yea you don't want to get into a 3-ball war with KU. YOu just don't

Delgado shooting out of his ass

@DoubleDD .363 on season vs .403 3pt%

I can live with Delgado making that garbage

STUPID DOKE!!!!

That same ref can die

doke has got to know better

Where do these refs come from?

Refs keeping SHU in the game.

Mitch time. Hold your breath boys.

Can't rebound

wow. 1 on 4... that wasn't good until it was.

Can't miss layups

@BShark 💃

that one was actually a foul on Doke imo

OK so Vick should have dunked that? Right?

BeddieKU23 said:

Can't rebound

Well I mean...it's Mitch. No offense...

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BShark 💃

What?

can’t trap lost and keep giving up wide open 3

@DoubleDD Refs have to call that elbow on Doke. He has to be more disciplined.

Bad O fouls on Doke to put him on the bench.

Miss Frank the tank high point rebounds.

Need to survive the next 3-4 mins. without Doke....

@DoubleDD Well, he shouldn't have missed it...

Doke needs to go back in with 6. Can’t have him in late anyways.

just keep driving and actually hit the ft

We just have to limit empty possessions. We will be okay.

stoptheflop said:

Dok doesn't need to use that elbow. He just needs to go up and shoot.

Only one of his last 3 fouls that was legit.

DCHawker said:

Lmao

Hawk8086 said:

:nauseated_face: :juggling_tone2:

Dok was only supposed to play 15 minutes this game. Didn't think it would be based on fouls, though.

Pretty amazing stat on the screen - KU minus 15 with Doke on the bench...

Pitiful Graham.

good job mitch! good challenge.

OH mitch

Delgado fouled Mitch on that reb btw

Mitch isn't scared of Delgado.

@BShark boys

@DoubleDD Mitch isn't scared of shit! For better or worse.

@Crimsonorblue22 Ah my bad

That turnover is on Mitch...

Keep driving. Unforced TO will beat us. We have to keep scoring.

Delgado you are a giant b--tch

Delgado = Drama queen. LOL

Mitch tries, but I'm glad Doke is going back in. More abuse from Delgado.

Junk can't leave this possession without points

Did I miss something - why so much Mitch and no Silvio???

@DCHawker Doke 4 fouls

gaaaaaawwwwwwwssssshhhhh

That said I leave Doke in there until he fouls out now.

How many fouls on Doke?

@BShark I know - but why is Mitch getting all the non-Doke minutes??

@Bwag 4

@DoubleDD I am not making fun of him. He is a hell of a player. We just need to play our game.

fresh 30.. nice.way to be hyperactive vick

Gotta break

Silvio has 0 rebounds, and looked a bit lost when he was out there.

30 what? says Malik. nice drive.

Battling at least!

Stop here

@approxinfinity Should be doing that every time..

Crap

ummmm

now its in dokes head

TO self

Damit

Big Clyde52 said:

He's only a hellvua player because SH has nobody else. Think Delgado is all that? Watch the NBA draft.

Friggin empty possessions will kill us!!!

That three in on Malik

Watching them shoot a 3 and not even challenging

I think SHU wins this now...needed a stop...

how can you continue to be that slow on screens

We do a great job of leaving shooters open.

Several missed opportunities! Now its down to 4! Damn!

I don't like force feeding Doke.

BShark said:

I think SHU wins this now...needed a stop...

What?? NOOOOOOO Ku wins.

I'm sorry Devonte you have to do something on offense

yeah lets hope that isnt the game plan @BShark . Doke is mental atm.

refs have controlled this game from the beginning for better or worse

@DoubleDD I don't give a shit about the draft!!! I care about winning this game and he is killing us. 20 rebounds!!!

BShark said:

I don't like force feeding Doke.

Agreed. He is too worried about fouling.

swallowed whistles. then called every touch foul. now back to swallowing

Taking him away from goal

Lobs to Doke off penetration or back screens, but that's it at this juncture....

At this point, just foul Delgado every time he touches it

Delgado getting away with way more than Doke imo. Moving screens, cheap shots etc... He is crafty I guess.

BeddieKU23 said:

I'm sorry Devonte you have to do something on offense

He has been off from the start. Needs to drive it

He probably has a headache

Put Sosinski in and go full Elbow Delgado.

4 min. 4 points

MALIK! YES! YES!

now D UP!

Malik has saved us this game

Newman bailed us out

Pass the ball. Or hit a 3.

Little upset De Sousa isn't getting anytime playing time. Coach playing not to lose, instead of playing to win.

Kcmatt7 said:

Put Sosinski in and go full Elbow Delgado.

PREACH

Braindead offense for awhile now. Fortunately that last three from Malik went in.

Officials start checking replays a 4 min mark?

Newman needs to keep that Egyptian emperor chin hair forever

good d, thats ok. good d.

Newman is the MAN!!!

yes malik

Need both of these

@DoubleDD Are you sure they don't have anyone else???

Big Clyde52 said:

I think the correct number was 7

@DoubleDD Mitch played good D.

Big Clyde52 said:

Yeah considering SHU has gotten away with at least 7 by my count I will take it!

@HawkChamp Please take that back....this margin with under 20 seconds then okay...

@Big-Clyde52

I rather spend my time watching KU thinking they are going to win than, thinking they are going to lose.

Svi-shhhhhhh.....

DoubleDD said:

THE POINT IS HE IS GOOD AT PASSING THE BALL OUT SO DOUBLE TEAMING HIM IS BAD

Bad call. Mitch was straight up

Quit fouling!!! Have to keep clock running.

Whoa

@Bwag

Refs gotta make it interesting...

Mitch didn't let him score the bucket at least.

Make them Mitch.

We're going to have to work through two front-ends - gotta make the damn FTs...

No clock went off?

Omg refs what a wrong with u

Refs gotta do their “thing”?

Here we go. Freezing the shooter. THAT SUCKS!!!

Never forget Ish Wainwright loves us.

Fire the refs

Firmly believe Ish would have been a hawk if offered.

who gives a sh-- about 1 second.

FT will kill us!!!

@BShark 100% would have.

My god refs

Not Mitch's best day tbh

I'd put Silvio in for fts.

Need a score

Set up inbounds! Wandering around

OH FFS

Off 22

If they turn this over I'm done

If we miss more FT's we are done!!!

BeddieKU23 said:

They are going to...somehow...

yea like Vick would just shove the ball Out of bounds. LOL

free throwing this game away since the first chance

@Blown PEeing down legs

We are trying to give this game away. Too reminiscent of Michigan...

They fouled us I thought.

@Blown hopefully survived poor FT’ing from the beginning

Refs helping SHU good lord.

can you get an online reffing degree from Seton Hall?

Refs trying hard to become the story...pathetic.

Angel Delgado has the fourth 20-20 game since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams.

If you can’t tell from the review. Get going

@BShark Refs are not missing FT.

Reviews are the worst thing to happen to basketball

Free time out for cueball and his gang of floppers.

Kcmatt7 said:

Strong agree.

@Kcmatt7

Agreed.

@Big-Clyde52 but they did help freeze out Mitch.

Ok so KU won this game without Graham playing well, and a 100% Doka. What does that say?

Fouled Malik too

You better make them Graham!!!

Got lucky - that was a terrible inbounds play...

LMAO if they didn't call a foul there I was gonna lose it.

DoubleDD said:

game not over bruh

Devonte has been perfecting his head flop for jokers like these refs.

Whoaaa

@BShark

Game over.

That was a thunderdome foul and barely called.

What is wrong with DG tonight - got nothing going...

DoubleDD said:

@BShark

Game over.

plz stahp

Buster 1926 said:

Big East thug 🏀 Foul hell outta em

YEP!

Why are we screwing around and letting them set up their press. Get the Damn ball in bounds!!!

Why don’t teams just trade fouls right here? Like I’d make SHU hit 6 more free throws than us

Are you freaking kidding me

lol....fuggin Carrington

Because giving up 3s is more fun obviously.

Kcmatt7 said:

yep

Just let them walk right into a 3!! GGGGEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ.

@Kcmatt7

I like your thinking.

Someone tell Newmie we don't need a fast break right now.

It was 4 at 4 min.

Back to 4 at 30 sec

wheewwwwwwwwwwww

Crap

MITCH

Fuck Carrington

BeddieKU23 said:

Fuck Carrington

wtf

Carrington is unreal

What the HELL are we doing??? NO MORE THREES!!!!

Make them take more than 4 seconds to score...

Poor SH they sent the wrong guy to the line.

JUST BODY CARRINGTON PLZ ANYONE BUT HIM SHOOTING

Don't let Marcus have it

@BeddieKU23 FUCK our defense!!!

It's Newman timmmmeee

Carrington doing w/e he wants.

@Big-Clyde52 F+++ what defense???

That goodness for Malik at the line

Ha ha thug

And... Peace out Seton Hall...

GREAT CALL!!!

Roooooock Chaaaaalk Jayhawwwwwwk Kkkkkk Uuuuuuuuu

HOLY SHIT HE HIT THAT. I mean it didn't matter but that tells you something...

GOOD LORD THEY HIT ANOTHER. But they lose so w/e.

Rock Chalk boys and girls. Rock Chalk. KU just played a terrible game and won. Rock Chalk

83-79 Anyone recognize that score from 30 years ago?

Woop, woop....

DoubleDD said:

I wouldn't call it terrible. Closer to average.

Survive and advance, I'm good with that. Malik Newman, thank you for finally having the light come on in the past few weeks.

Survive and advance...yep, that’s the recipe.

I have to think Newman has pushed himself into the draft.

ok.. breathe. breathe.

That wasn't a terrible game. We just didn't play D. The Offense was great :)

We always make lil boys cry!😭👬

Kcmatt7 said:

I know right. Newman is just stepped up to a whole another level. You think there is any chance he comes back for another year?

That look from Doke!

refs still sucked gosh darn it

Part of the formula to a championship is to win a game where you play like crap.

Check.

Great win, seton hall shot out of their mind the entire game

Hit FT’s late. Good thing our first half rate didn’t continue

@DoubleDD zero. Unless somehow scouts tell him he needs to come back and do what’s he’s done the past two weeks for an entire season.

Would legit be a Naismith POY favorite next season.

@Bwag I think Delgado was in his head and that took Doke out of the game.

approxinfinity said:

I don't know that first half was kind of dismal.

@Bwag had the right people shooting

BeddieKU23 said:

Particularly at the end. This could have just as easily been a 13 point win or so. Horseshoe up Carrington's arse.

@BeddieKU23 SHU almost went UMBC on us.

Notice Bill Self pulled Doke out of the game in the final minutes?

Is it too much to ask for a nice comfortable 15- 20 pt win, like the other big marquee teams today... ?
Good god these guys are going to give me an infarction

I don’t think seton hall missed a single shot in last 5 minutes

@Statmachine fool me once

@Crimsonorblue22 correct

Delgado has that Landen Lucas dirty/crafty to his game.

@wissox you're right. I think the testosterone got the better of me. Got really irritated at Delgado complaining to refs, but not like Doke didn't do it too.. just Delgado looked like a baby and Doke looked like a ferocious hippo.

Alabama had 15 loses, Rhode island looked like a midmajor team

Really, that's two pretty labored wins in a row.

Doke did a good job first half on him. To bad he had to use his elbows the 2nd half

SHU Kenpom #26

Alabama #54 (with a dumb dumb coach to boot)

Rhode Island #51.

It's a joke really.

BeddieKU23 said:

URI very short. Duke's size killed them.

@DoubleDD

KU won the first half by 5, lost the second half by 1, just sayin’...

BeddieKU23 said:

Stats don't show them shooting their minds out. 10-24 threes, 45% overall. They certainly had a lot of answers down the stretch. They were as tough as I thought they were going to be.

@BeddieKU23 Nova played out of their minds today.

Dukes Zone is scary good. Can’t wait for Syracuse to wreck both them and MSU though.

wissox said:

Huh? Looked like Delgado was scared of Doka to me? Did I miss something? Lets not forget Doka was playing with one leg.

Delgado made everything, 50% shooter from the field. They certainly answered a lot of our runs

@wissox Offensive rebounds were a killer today. Shootings percentage doesn’t account for that necessarily. But as a fan, it looks like they scored a lot.

bskeet said:

This game was mostly under control the whole way somehow. I'll take it...

@JayHawkFanToo we won the game

Kcmatt7 said:

Rebound competently and it's a very easy win honestly. BUT, it's been a weakness all year and Doke is hobbled. Mitch, and I love Mitch...but he is a terrible rebounder it just is what it is. Survive and advance baby.

@BShark agreed. Felt in control the whole time. Bill pulled the right strings pretty much the entire 40 minutes.

Need Silvio to come back

@Crimsonorblue22 not a good matchup for him today. Crafty guy that is bigger, stronger and more skilled than him.

JayHawkFanToo said:

Yea but lets not forget SH didn't miss their last 3 or 4 shots. Which 2 were 3 pointers, was it 3 3 pointers? desperation doesn't make it a game. Just saying.

@Crimsonorblue22

Just pointing out to someone that thought he first half was worst than the second.

I think today's game will be tougher than our S16 game.

In the first two round KU has had the toughest matchups and still won. I’ll take it.

@DoubleDD I was mainly thinking of the sequence where Doke picked up his two offensive fouls, particularly the one where he viciously hooked him.

Here's the thing about Delgado to me. I love seeing young men who have an athletic talent, like Doke, or Desousa or Embiid or Delgado and grew up in a 3rd world country. I just pull for those guys to succeed and make some money some day and bring some relief to their families and countries back home. I really don't know anything about Delgado until today. He was amazing. It was a Nick C/Dicky V standing ovation type performance. Don't know if he's on draft boards but I'm hopeful he earns his degree. More power to these guys.

Of course a lot of our homegrown men come from tough situations and I cheer for them for the same reasons.

@BeddieKU23
Well if we ever get an easy bracket, I hope to be still alive to see it

@BShark Seton Hall ... DOWN IN FLAMES....

@Bosthawk It will never happen.

@Kcmatt7 but neither was Mitch? No?

It's hard to believe we won the game in the first half-- specifically, in the last minute of the first half.

Dg's mom couldn't come this weekend, glad we held on so she could see him in Omaha. I bet he does have a headache. Their plan was to cut the head of our snake off.

KUSTEVE said:

You could very well be right. SHU was very tough.

Not our best, but a WIN!

We beat a good team. Really proud of the fight our guys displayed. Now if WV, TT, and the Kitties win for the Big 12, and I hit the powerball it will be a great weekend. LOL!!!

@Red_Rooster so glad you joined in, we've missed you!

Our boys have been through the forge of fire this season .. what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger? Right ??
Let’s hope devonte is not worn down - so many brutal minutes.

We need rest. And let’s hope we haven’t shot our wining streak wad ... 5 in a row

@wissox

I too think that Delgado is a fine player. He's just not NBA level. Maybe somebody will give him a look on the off chance. Yet he better get his degree. That's where he'll find his real success. Doka with one leg punked him.

@Crimsonorblue22 I was over on SLACK site for a while than came over here !! Thanks for allowing to participate !!!

Dayum, we rock!

DOWN GOES SETON HALL..... i'm sorry, i'm relishing, and engorging myself in it. For those who picked Seton hall to win, I am not rubbing it in or anything.

Remember when I said Delgado is what I hope McCormack more or less turns into by the time he is done? Everyone more or less good with that?

@BeddieKU23

Officials appearing to try to help east coast SEC team win against a team from the middle of nowhere.

@wissox Some odd calls that's for sure.

Just turned it on and saw some strange ones.

I got a lot of respect for SHU after listening to their presser.

SHU starts about half through. Reporter even gave the kids a tough question and they answered it with respect.

Desi even touches briefly on how Willard helped him when he was depressed. Just so much heart from these kids.

Wow, Beard has used 1 TO only in this pressure packed game. Pretty impressive.

This is the type of game the tough big 12 needs to win.

Thanks to UMBC's gift, KState should make it to the sweet 16. WVU could make it 4!

COVERED THO

So what? That's only relevant to gamblers. KU is still the one playing Clemson/Auburn next Friday and not Seton Hall.

Well friends I was able to make the trip down to Wichita for the game. Man that was fun, both games there were very entertaining. Definitely worth just now getting home. Malik Newman was on fire, it was a great experience for my first NCAA tournament game. I thought we played pretty good outside of Mitch. Usually Mitch bust his butt every minute, but most KU fans there were thoroughly irked at him for a serious lack of effort at times on the glass. That was the glaring issue tonight IMO. On to the next one.

Appreciate this from Delgado...

Said Delgado: "You gotta give him credit. He's a big, big, big guy. Trust me. He's an unbelievable player. He did a great job with his bad knee."

One of my favorite moments from the game was directly after Delgado scored. Delgado turned after making a basket and should’ve been celebrating, but saw Dok siting at the scorers table and his face went sour. Just seeing Dok ready to check in stressed him out. That is fantastic!

But, Dok's two offensive fouls for misusing his elbow were costly and could have cost us the game. I hope our staff is reminding Dok he was able to score over Delgado and he didn't need to use the elbow to get off his shot.

I thought our guards' entry passes to Dok were spectacular and really showed how our offense runs.

@stoptheflop I get the feeling that telling Doke he doesn't need the elbow might do more harm than good. It seemed that when we went back to Doke after the fouls he was in an altered mindset and looked all out of sorts. Maybe if they have time to practice what he could do against Delgato instead of the elbow, it would be a good post mortem.

I think Doke was about 80%, he used his elbows a little too much but at least 2 of Dokes fouls were weak. Doke even said in post game Delgato said on court he flopped. Delgato himself did plenty of hooking and elbowing, it was a super physical game. I thought Seton Hall had several fouls that could’ve or maybe even should been intentional. The one where 22 tackled DG from behind wasn’t not a play on the ball whatsoever (probably would’ve been a fight if that injuried DG, that was a thug play) or when they grabbed DGs jersey. Watching the game live Seton Hall played pretty rough like WV and got away with quite of bit of holding and pushing.
