@BShark haha...that's gonna be awesome if Self does that against the horns

Gonna be a long wait to see our game tonight methinks.

@wissox Definitely not starting on ESPN.

Gonna be working the remote tonight. Badgers just started against Turgeon the Surgeon and the Turtles.

I might not need to work the remote too much. Badgers are struggling big time.

So with 3 to go in this duke fest plus Zion interviews,promos and commercials we should catch the last 5 minutes of the game

@BeddieKU23 If we are lucky.

8 minutes to tip and the start will be on espn news

Only Duke could have 3 fouls in a half at home

@BeddieKU23 And Arizona St

Wow huge shot

No one will believe it, but Duke has a solid FT advantage in this game. Against a team that plays zone no less.

It's okay Duke, it's only your 4th foul.

@BeddieKU23 And Arizona St

Difference was they were paid for, in Cameron it's just part of the job

Wow, what a tough shot.

I don't care who wins the puke cuse game. just not overtime

ESPN has excuses ready for if Duke loses.

bail out call lmao

whatever REF

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

bail out call lmao

I mean...did you expect ANYTHING ELSE?

Duke whistle. Bilas even admits, not much there.

LOL NOT MUCH THERE

Overtime probably. Ugh

duke has fouls to give at 10.6 LOL

I can't stand Syracuse and feel sorry for them.

Nooooooooooooooo

KU up 6-0 early. Grimes and Vick with 3s

Nice TD and the 2 point conversion. 8-0

8 nothing hawks

1 3 from Grimes, 1 3 from vick and a jumper from dedric. Place is thumpin

What's with all of the ballerina tights tonight?

For some reason matt Coleman makes shots when he plays ku

Shorthorns fighting back.

After watching Baylor play us Texas is confident they can come back.

Dotson is so fast

Texas makes a shot and frans in love

If our guys ever learn to finish around the rim, we might be dangerous....

At this point espn is just doing this out of spite that's like 5 games in a row with fran. Can he get a damn day off

I like that Garrett isn't shooting the long ball, but is driving to the rim.

Bilas trying to explain away a duke fowl.

Ha ha u got fran

sorrycuse by 5 1:19 left

Syracuse gets into the one-and-one bonus with 1 minute left in OT and Duke fans are irate.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

They know they didnt pay for that

Poor Duke is undermanned.

I’m 8 rows behind texass bench, red shirt

Marcus Garrett hit a three, take a shot board rats.

Grimes TAKE YOUR TIME

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Run on the court so we can see you!

Wow Marcus made a 3. Now we know what other teams say

Bye Duke. Should have been back to back losses.

Garrett scoring machine.

Between Dickie V and Fran Fraschilla, I always prefer the other one.

Watching the game on ESPN3...better yet, it's Fran-free!

Look if refs r not going to call that check on Coleman on Dotson trying to drive wtf is their job

@KirkIsMyHinrich But they will still be on the top of the first page on ESPN every day...

who is this Garrett kid?

Garrett scoring machine

approxinfinity said:

Option c, mute

Rip!

Mitch no hands

They show a close up of Mitch's lip yet?

Are we really watching a post-game interview instead of Kansas?

Not sure KU wins if the pace stays like this. Need to clamp down on d.

Marcus Garrett champion of men.

Matt Coleman continues his career night again

This game is stupid looool

Um, it looks like Garrett, has his number, but sure doesn't shoot like him.

Wowzers

Twilight zone is where Garrett is

ESPN bastards

@DanR Also where our defense is....UT not exactly an offensive dynamo...

Need BIG DAVE NOW

Now we're gonna have to listen half the night how Duke lost.

Hey mitch you have to look at the hoop to score

@DanR and Silvio too.

Why is it that every time Kansas plays us some floppy haired defensive specialist has his career offensive night on the Horns?

@wissox And right on cue, they start talking Duke.

Lightfoot misses from point blank range, felt like I’ve said that about 800 times in the past 2 and a half years. How about Garrett my god where did this shooting come from? Told y’all he just needed to keep shooting.

I cant believe Garrett has scored that many points.

ESPN 3 randomly switched us to x games.

He didnt look at the hoop just threw it uo

My sisters would openly cheer against me.

That ESPN3 feed is kinda weird...overhead camera shot with no announcers. Kinda like watching the game live in AFH with really bad seats.

I know I can beat Grimes in a game of horse

Need Silvio badly for rebounding.

Coleman is 4-4.

!0_1547519377194_84A36E9A-BA28-467A-BBD5-10DD1F9EC544.jpeg ↗ beware...

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Coleman is 4-4.

Balances out Garrett going off. Kinda funny.

Coleman at his season average already. Garrett beat that a while ago

Damn. Come on, Dedric.

Yikes. Gotta make fts.

My goodness, Fran sucks.

Guys, really? Lawson you need to let your teammate have that.

Dedric battling for a board that Ochai had. Sigh.

Why even try to rebound tbh.

I appreciate not forcing shots through Garrett even though he's not missing. Lets get some other guys going.

Jesus dedric. Get your head out your ass

Vick is engaged again. Its literally a thing to watch by the minute

@approxinfinity Good point, LOL

approxinfinity said:

ESPN 3 randomly switched us to x games.

I thought you were going to say a duke interview crying about losing.

Two terrible 3 point shooting teams are 9-19 combined.

Also, KU hasn't turned the ball over yet...

@dylans Fran neglected to mention Frank Mason when listing great guards from KU, so one million times f--- Fran.

Please dont jinx them lol

But only up by 3 because we're being out-rebounded 13 to 7.

approxinfinity said:

😂 fools gold. 😝

Great 7 4 wingspan. And he blocked Zion so hes famous

Dedric is having a really bad game so far.

Hey vick you can dunk

At this moment we don't need Charlie and Grimes on the floor at the same time.

Honestly Dedric hasn't taken enough shots in this game. Something I almost never say.

approxinfinity said:

At this moment we don't need Charlie and Grimes on the floor at the same time.

Or ever.

If we had another option sitting dedric tonight should be a thing

This might be the worst KU team on the break ever...

They might merge into one giant black hole that absorbs AFH

Nice pass, Vick. Engaged Vick is good.

BeddieKU23 said:

If he isn't contributing offensively he is a net negative.

Nice dime

Put DMac in.

Thing is with charlie, is you never know when he's going to shoot because he could be looking up at the band.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Put DMac in.

He's bad but at this point who cares.

"Shaka I don't respect you and I will kick your ass. Watch this. Chucky, Q, get in there"

BShark said:

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Put DMac in.

He's bad but at this point who cares.

He's better than Lightfoot.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Easily.

Charlie made a pass. Its literally got to be a full moon

Number 20 on Texas is massiveness

Mitch's lip looks pretty swollen. Props for getting out there.

Texas up 11-0 in 2nd chance points. Story of the game.

@KirkIsMyHinrich @BeddieKU23 🐦 View Tweet

Ugh, Charlie shooting.

@bwag that was only 2 chucky touches before the bomb.

It's your fault for not playing DMac, Self. Lightfoot is too small.

Again Charlie barely looks at the hoop

KU deserves to be trailing and they are now. Poor half.

Well, Bill.... with Mitch, chuckie and grimes throwing bricks, it might be better to only have two of those guys out there at a time.

KU 2-6 from the line...

Looks like defensive gameplan was to let them shoot 3s and sure enough they are making then

Mitch has 0 rebounds btw.

BeddieKU23 said:

Bill got tricked again. Texas is a very poor 3pt team but if you don't even try to guard them...

Charlie has chucky sense, he knows when he has 3 inches of free space to get that shot off

Defense has been lousy after the first 4 minutes and free throws becoming an issue.

TX is getting the ball inside easily and they are kicking it out for wide open shots

Probably should zone em

Orange teams playing very well tonight.

@BShark Repeat of second half against BU - we're getting killed on the boards. They have 7 offensive RBs to our 1. 30 shot attempts to our 22.

Take away the drives at least

16 minutes in and 0 bench points.

Uncle Fester is wrong. Kansas needs to rebound.

Hell yes, I'd press us.

At this point as long as no one gets hurt and KU somehow wins I don't even question it anymore. Just get out of this game with a W.

Just like that ESPN ques up the only guy worse then Fran, seth crapburg

Marcus you offensive savant

Tx game plan was to let Garret shoot

Horrible defense. Lucky they missed a wide-open 3.

No prob, big Dave. Go get it.

Black hole Dave

Dave is such a black hole

Dave is way better than Lightfoot.

@BeddieKU23 we are a black hole constellation

What the hell are we doing on defense?

Perfect encapsulation of why Dave isn't ready yet.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Not much...

That rat tale should disqualify him

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

What the hell are we doing on defense?

Letting Texas shoot.

Lol that's pathetic call

BShark said:

Perfect encapsulation of why Dave isn't ready yet.

He's a freshman who doesn't play. What do you expect?

BeddieKU23 said:

Lol that's pathetic call

Suspicious...

Hey look an offensive rebound. Guess who got it?

That's one more than Mitch has.

WTF with the Freebies

Why is Vick forcing guarded shots with weird form over people. Lord

Oh boy pretty much a turnover

We've missed out last 5 FTs...

FTs are really hard.

No surprise we are losing

Good job Vick. LOL tx guy

Something went right, a missed dunk.

Ideas don't win ballgames Fran.

Good defense on that missed dunk.

Shaka shouldn't be coaching in the big 12 unless he's at Baylor

Pathetic 3 point defense. Tex 7/17 from 3.

Sure talk to Texas coach in allen Fieldhouse

BeddieKU23 said:

Sure talk to Texas coach in allen Fieldhouse

Self is too busy already throwing chairs in the locker room. He was not available for interview.

Maybe KU will try to play defense in the 2nd half but idk.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

I hope so. They need it

So a 15 minute halftime show about duke. Sounds about right

If we would make the free ones and rebound it would be a 10 point game.

Down 2 at half now they gave Texas an extra point for trying hard.

Oh poor tre jones. Coach k. Go cry

Oh geez...stepped away to run an errand. Please tell me that half time score is wrong. It sounds like another one of those games from the posts.

@BeddieKU23 They usually interview whichever coach is leading at the half. Still would've rather heard from Self though.

Bench line for us - 0-4 FG ; 0-3 FTs ; 2 RBs ; 3 PFs

BeddieKU23 said:

That was a helluva game.

Free throws

nwhawkfan said:

The previous timeout they had to show a Texas kid who has a 7 4 wingspan. Never seen a ku player interviewed in an opposing arena

Garrett is 7-7 with 17 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 0 turnovers. Things could be worse.

Bill Self teams used to be able to play defense.

@KirkIsMyHinrich We've had 4 different players with 20 point games. Was sure the next would be Dotson....

KJ not playing?

@wissox Back when we had 3 or 4 year players....

@KirkIsMyHinrich Correct as always, Garrett kept us in this thing

Our bench has 0 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist at halftime. Yikes.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Looks like we definitely need it tonight, though. haha

Bruno Fernando of Maryland looks like Silvios twin. Crazy how similar they look in height and stature

So half watched first half due to ESPN blocking me out when I pay to stream - would like legal advice on a class action suit - but secondly, use to said blackout, started doing work and was on a roll.

What’s the story- is where I was going with all that?

Bwag said:

What’s the story- is where I was going with all that?

We dont defend or rebound or guard the 3. Oh and Marcus has 17 at half. Dedric sat a while with 2 fouls

We're over 50% from the field, 50% from 3 pt line and zero TO's at the half at home --- and we're down 2.....

@Bwag

Vick is on tonight but nobody else besides Marcus has come to play

DCHawker said:

Texas has what 10 3s?

Texas hasn't gotten out of the 60s the past 4 games, but they hang 40 on us in a half at AFH....

approxinfinity said:

KJ not playing?

Shocked he hasn't played

@BeddieKU23 Seems that way, but "only" 8

The line is 8.5 for this game. Hmm

@Crimsonorblue22 texass

@DCHawker

Especially since Texas is not a good shooting team.

BeddieKU23 said:

approxinfinity said:

KJ not playing?

Shocked he hasn't played

Bill Self: I should play KJ more

Also Bill Self: Never plays KJ

seven more rebounds for TX = 7 more shots. Otherwise (-free throws) statistically we should be OK

We really didn't have a turnover?

@DCHawker 2-7 on FT's without Dokes help

Higgins here, blah!

Texas had some damn easy shots

@wissox Or doesn't... ;)

Fran must have got an email with the plan

Manifest is on NBC

HCBS not happy - surprise - very terse comments to Holly...

Texas no FTA.

Kicking our tails on RB.

We shoot better %

Game story?

Nice start to half 2

DanR said:

Nice start to half 2

Started the game this way too. But definitely nice to see from Grimes and Dotson.

approxinfinity said:

@bwag that was only 2 chucky touches before the bomb.

I was only half watching, but mentioned our “bet” to her.

I’m on it now.

@DanR There was a nice start to the 1st half - just couldn't sustain it.

I missed the start of the first half, people. Let me enjoy it.

Hugs shots

You all asked for Grimes. You got him there

Man. We aren't free-throwing at all tonight.

Keep in mind texas hasn't even shot a free throw yet.

Until now

Texas looks shook

BeddieKU23 said:

Texas looks shook

Texas looks shaka?

Roach and Vick can chat about the olden days

Dotson is fouled very frequently. If he sticks around he could be getting to the line a TON as the refs realize it. Ie Mason.

GET THE BALL TO VICK

and play some D

That was out on Q. Good call

Uhoh the turnovers have started.

Refs calling it way different than the first half. Few foul calls in first half, now they're calling a lot. Confusing for players.

Good thing Osetkowski sucks really bad.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Good thing Osetkowski sucks really bad.

He's very bad. Don't understand why he gets big minutes.

Should've been a grimes dunk, but I'll take the Vick three!

Sure Vick, why not.

Tonight is really a game that we could use SDS and Doke.

Old man game vs. big slow white dude game inside

Ok guys, put the hammer down and cut these horns off

Daaaamn it Dedric

Big shots so far. That was fun

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Tonight is really a game that we could use SDS and Doke.

Yup. Texas has some athletic bigs.

VIck is back!?

Sorry did someone say whats up with KJ? No PT?

Our post defense is flat out nonexistent without doke, we can not stop anyone down there. Lucky they have missed about 10 from the 1 foot mark.

Garrett playing well probably has something to do with it

@approxinfinity Bad matchup?, like every game

KU is 10-16 from 3 in this game. Like I said I don't care how the Ws happen as long as they happen...

approxinfinity said:

Sorry did someone say whats up with KJ? No PT?

I haven't heard anything. I think he's just not getting playing time.

@BShark

Due for a game like this

@kjayhawks They've missed shots, but we haven't really gotten any stops, forced them into bad shots or shot clock violations...

Dedric is really struggling tonight on both ends. Haven’t seen this from him in a while.

DanR said:

@approxinfinity Bad matchup?, like every game

The thing is he hasn't been awful statistically.

Self's coaching eye tho.

Chucky is getting PT though? :scream:

Some day we'll have a game where we shoot 80+% free throws

approxinfinity said:

Chucky is getting PT though? :scream:

Quite a balancing act from Self.

Yep. Our rules. Another L for Duke tonight.

Naismith's house (That he built himself, of course) is for sale in Lawrence right now.

@KirkIsMyHinrich you can leave off the word "tonight"

DanR said:

!alt text ↗

stand down, you refs

Please Dave just blend in

@BeddieKU23 lollll or flail exuberantly. At least its different.

What the hell was that call.

David Booth! Booth College of Business at the University of Chicago. The dude donated 300 million so they named the business college after him.

I don't understand the Dave hate at all.

DMac!

@KirkIsMyHinrich I'm not hating at all. I love the passion. He's just a big kid. He'll grow into a monster.

Love that hustle

At least Dave can rebound, so there IS that.

Mac can guard that little twig big texas has

Niiiice Dave!

Big Dave working hard.

You can block Zion Williamson but you can't stop BIG DAVE!

Fan fave, big dave

Big dave

It ain't pretty, but we'll take it...

Okay Dave your growing up

Big Dave

David McCormack is taking over this game, my column:

Osawatimie kid can’t make crap

@DanR Don't hold your breath.

Huge Badger comeback. Down 5 now and shooting FT's.

Did Jesse Newell go into the future and back to predict the score of this one?

Dave needs to play over lightfoot, he is much bigger and stronger. That helps him rebound better and could use PT to help figure it out on defense.

BShark said:

No shit on mg ever again

Oh Marcus! JUST DONT EVER STOP

The Marcus Garrett game.

Yeah, big dave still raw on d

DanR said:

So many tools, but still figuring it out. Going to be special by his SR year.

Woah, Agbaji.

scoop!

and and.. Q just come back.. Q come back...

OCHAI

UW was down 19 with 12 minutes left. Down three now under 4 TO and with the ball.

(I hope Q isnt coming in for Ochai)

Dave got away with a walk I think.

Good hustle Big Dave. First guy down the court.

Who the hell its the guy on the floor wearing Garret’s number?😳. Is that for real? I gotta watch this game from the beginning I see

they werent just 19 points from Marcus.. its 19 on 8-10 shooting. its an EASY 19.

Wow

Kubie said:

Who the hell its tbhebguy kn the floor wearing Garret’s number?😳. Is that for real? I gotta watch this game from the beginning I see

Dedric gave his talent to Garrett tonight. Like the Monstars in Space Jam.

approxinfinity said:

Bill is in a tough spot here. Ochai is better, but there are optics involved with Q.

Lawson having a bad game or is he getting doubled to death?

Marcus trying to prove something to Texas tonight? Or Smart?

I'm going to predict Shaka starts defending Marcus and Dedric has himself a nice finish.

1 quarter to go, rock chalkers.

We have need every one of Marcus’s 19 with Dedric doing nothing tonight. I’m worried that this could become the norm, Dedric can’t handle a physical game.

Vick would have hit that.

should've been a foul on the twig too for Dedric

Great pass, Q. Finish that, Dedric.

zero on 50-50 balls. no effort.

No 3's for Tex this half, so our defense is better

Missed an over the back call.

Shaka might do better if he'd concentrate on basketball instead of boxing

Guys have guarded this half. Self a genius

BShark said:

Missed an over the back call.

Remember a time when we got the calls

@BeddieKU23 Interesting strategy to actually play defense. Cunning even.

I feel like we are a half step behind on every long rebound and loose ball, we maybe very fortunate we are hitting 3s and Garrett is going nuts. They are out hustling us no question.

4 on Hayes. Dedric needs to take over.

Are Shaka Smart and Scott Drew related?

@kjayhawks they are athletic

@Big-Clyde52 Hayes has nothing for Dedric. Could have easily fouled him out at this point if Dedric was being fed early.

Bwag said:

@kjayhawks they are athletic

This.

I don't think KU has been outhustled so much as it is one big in there and Texas has bouncy bigs. Rebounding really improved with Dave in there briefly.

Garrett, what have you done for me lately?

If it weren't for the hair, I'd swear #0 was not Marcus Garrett

Line-drive free throws.

Holly Rowe <3 <3 <3

Still shooting FT like Jr High girls.

@Big-Clyde52 don't be dissin jr high girls like that....

Comeback fell a little short.

Wrong. Kansas will go to Kentucky.

@nuleafjhawk My bad.

Focus for the final six minutes, guys

Nice Dedric

no more dumb threes

I wonder whether Dedric's off game has anything to do with his brother's lack of PT?

Foul that friggin Hayes out of there!!! Get some stops!!!

Could Dedric play back about 2 feet on D and put an end to the easy lobs?

Can Dillashaw fight Fran instead?

Jeez

Agbaji getting big time late minutes again.

Gonna quote Dirty Harry to Dotson: "A man's got to know his limitations"

So much for winning that game easy

He’s learning, tough though

You gotta be kidding me

When we need to use a little clock we put our head down and drive to the rim. Great bball IQ!!! NOT!!!

Call over the backs on them! Surprised u didn’t hear me

BeddieKU23 said:

So much for winning that game easy

Never ever

This team just doesn’t like winning comfortably I guess. Just rebound and make FTs and it doesn’t matter from here on out.

If we don't get the ball in to Dedric and foul out the twig guy we're stupid.

I was about to mouth off about being 15-2 and feeling like we're a bunch of losers. I may have to wait on that one.

DanR said:

They heard you.

Every time into lawson

Nervous time. Yaaaaaay

Happy

Shaka is dreaming about his four year contract extension

Jeez. Three 3's in a row for Texas.

SHIT

MY God our D sucks!!!

There's the defense we know and love: KU's 5 guarding their 4.

Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TX is due to miss now, right

You've gotta be kidding. 4 3's in a row.

Imagine not guarding the 3 pt line. Also turnovers AGAIN.

Febres is NBA jam on fire rn.

Why guard that last shot?

Don't guard anybody. Just let them shoot as much as they want. JEEEEZZZZ!!!

So stupid I cant even believe it

You can't really call it defense. Its called stand there and watch the ball go through the basket

Always one guy on every team that freakin LUCKS out and KU lets it happen...damn it

Guard the three?

See ya, twiggy

I guess maybe we should guard that guy that’s hit 3 3s in row. Lead 3/4s of the game and give it away just like ASU, wake up fellas

He is gone!!! Take over Dedric.

Bye bye Hayes

Four fouls on one possession for hayes

Hayes bye

Every game since the Topeka YMCA, someone has had a career night against us.

Well we can stop guarding the lob with 2 defenders now

NOW GUARD THE 3 PT LINE

Nice play, Garrett.

Garrett with the big D

play D

Great job MG. Now score.

Garrett going back to saving the game with his D.

Huge.

How long does it take for Bill to realize that the long ball wins games and he needs to recruit accordingly?

viper vick

Marcus Garrett THANK YOU

More D

Yuck.

Garrett really

How fricking bad do these announcers want Texas to win?

As hot as Garrett was, that isn't a shot he should be taking.

Terrible possession

truehawk93 said:

I don't know if I'd blame Garrett. Not much he could do.

Not the shot

Nice D there. Looked bad, but we had them out of rhythm

We finally got a friggin rebound!!!

Ok...breath

Everyone notice how he gives the other team a scouting report to beat KU?

Some old people in the student section

Agbaji running Febres off the 3 pt line has to make Self smile. Kid is so damn smart already.

One question - Duke is number one. They lose at home. How is the media going to insure that they move UP in the ratings?

How the hell does that happen? How is that guy that wide open?

Oh yeah...CUSE beat PUke

Then we inbound to a crappy FT shooter

Dear God.

Cuz our defense SUCKS

WELP.

Gotta inbound the ball...then make fts...

foul em

Crap

Garrett. Time for a FT exhibition

Imagine getting beat down the floor off a missed ft...

@KirkIsMyHinrich Cause we are lazy.

Lazy as hell there boys

I would foul.

Guard the the three, just maybe?

Look that ball goes to Dotson that's a crap inbounds

Not sure lazy is the word, perhaps just slow.

What would @drgnslayr's wife call them?

Lazy and stupid.

Anything but a three, I'd let them freaking dunk over allowing a three.

Shaka will probably f this up

Maybe foul. Are we in 1:1 or double bonus?

Wow

Might have gotten away with a foul on that 3...

Never a doubt in my mind.....

Never a doubt!

A win is a win... GOT EM

So lucky

Another ugly win.

I cant believe we let them shoot a 3. SO LUCKY!!!

Why can't we have nice things?

Geez...they made 6 arc shots in the last 3 mins. Looked too much like the BU game.

How many of you called MG as player of the game (before it started) ?

We were guarding them without fouling.

Good enough. They were due to miss!

Glad we got the W but that piss poor effort on the defensive end all night. I’m not often this ticked after a W but that was crap.

10 point lead with 4 minutes left.

@kjayhawks AMEN!!! 78 points on our floor just sucks.

@kjayhawks you have seemed to be pissed for a while now.

@kjayhawks You're not stoked about a 2 point win at home against an unranked team? For shame.

Save us, Silvio.

Gawd if we don't improve NOW, it's going to be ugly against TT.

Could have lost like Duke. Or NOT!

Watched Osetkowski walk off the court really pissed off and yelling at his teammates. Couldn't tell why.

Well poor rebounding, lazy defense, awful communication, bad rotations and atrocious free throw shooting turns an easy double digit win into a game where we squeak one out. At least we can say we won despite how truly terribly we played at times.

@Bwag NOOOOOOOOOO

D can be better, but it's kind of scary that this is about the ceiling for offense though.

How many times did we have a 10 point lead and could not expand it???

@Bwag Really lmao, I’m just grumpy by nature I guess.

@Big-Clyde52 Scary

@KirkIsMyHinrich no foul on 3, saw it

Need another big

At least everyone in the conference has at least 2 losses, except for us and TT. We need to continue to protect the PHOG and steal some on the road. Win the next 2 `and we are over one third thru the schedule.

@Big-Clyde52 It's going to be a long hard B12 season without Dok or Silvio. Maybe Self can get 3 of 4 guards playing well enough every game to do some magic.

@DanR The best plan is to get Silvio eligible...fingers crossed...

@BShark How is that going to happen?

I’m okay if this is the best we can do offensively if we make Fts. Shot 53% from the floor, 50% from 3 while making 11 and only 4 turnovers. Free throws and poor rebounding kept it from being a 15 point win, they had I believe 19 second chance points off of 14 offensive rebounds. I’m also gonna say Texas played a little over their talent level, I’d bet the farm they don’t make 13 3s in a single game the rest of the year. I really loved seeing Garrett get some points, he does so much of the dirty work for this team and some had even thrown the idea out of Ochai starting over him (I think that’s crazy by the way). The only knock he had tonight was his 1/4 from from the line. Dotson had a nice line of 10 points, 5 assists and 0 turnovers. Dedric thankfully got going late and had a nice line with 17 points and 8 rebounds, his defense was fairly disappointing tho. Vick did what Vick needs to do make shots, went 5 for 8 from distance tonight. Grimes made a couple of appearances with the deep ball but was ghost like outside of that. Moore made his normal chuck a stupid 3 and miss appearance. David needs more minutes IMO, he can take us farther than Mitch can especially if SDS isn’t cleared soon. We all love Mitch’s effort but man has he seemed off this season and it’s tough to make an argument that he needs to be in the rotation.

@Big-Clyde52 the ncaa has the plan. It's in their hands.

The thing that gets me about this team is the defensive mental lapses.
That Texas 3pt make after our free throw near the end of the game was comical. The guys were standing around and laughing coming back onto the floor. Nice to see them relaxed, but carefree is another matter.

@jayhawkcsg

A missed free throw at that, it wasn't as if we were celebrating making one. The mental lapses are still a big concern

Anyone see Seth Davis' tweet about Silvio? I'll see if I can post it...

He claims the NCAA is about to rule Silvio as eligible with time served. He thought if they did clear him, could be by WVU, but not quite. I don't think Seth Davis would make a ridiculous claim if he didn't have a solid lead or source. This may or may not be anything, but's the most credible tweet yet by a fairly reputable bball analyst.

Let's hope and pray we get him.

@truehawk93 read poor Silvio, posted over there

@Crimsonorblue22 AH, thanks
