Anyone here?
yep
Horendous TV visual of this court
Confident? 1-10
Nice rebound nott
minnesota's court looks like that. Looks like an unshoveled driveway
Great start
Lol. Good job good effort.
Tough viewing choices tonight...Westminster Dog Show, endless snowstorm coverage, or a KU road game?
We just need a nice little time consuming drive, get the TD and extra point and we'll be tied up.
Looks like every road game this yr. Nothing
I was sitting here trying to think of a thread name if I had to start it :) thanks for taking one for the team. "Lagerald and Kumar Go To White Court" wasn't cutting it
It is simply amazing to me that they know the other team is going to be juiced , the arena is going to be juiced and they time after time come out flat.
We're on the board!!
Glad I only have to watch one game on that redivulous floor per year
Rough start. Let's go Jayhawks
Need him to get fouls too
Wow
@approxinfinity I think it reflects the mindset among us. No one started one and the game had started. I think this is a first in buckets history!
Ya the court is ridiculously annoying
Well we know they dont listen to scouting report. Bane averaging 23 a game at home. Wide open of course for 3
That court is awful. It's on Vanderbilt's level of audacious home court advantageosity.
Agbaji broke the streak
Double dribble. nobody touched that.
Wow dot
d!
They are scoring at the rim or wide open 3s - and we are struggling to get any kind of decent shot off...
Badgers just whooped minny on similar floor.
Mitch time
I love watching Dave try his ass off even if it's a hot mess, its contageous.
Grimes turns down a shot at the rim to turn it core.
Big dave was posting up great, but they didn't throw it to him
Good D Grimes.
Winning the foul margin. Haven't all yr on road
Thats so nice DD. SEEING IT!
Nice ball movement
Agbaji is just fun to watch
Gotta finish that Dotson ugh
Any transfers we are targeting? Too soon? Would love to get some guys excited to play with a core of DD, Agbaji, Mitch and Dave.
That was deep by Noi. However, Lawson standing there with his hands down.
Let's settle in and get some stops fellas
Give me 5 kids in the floor that play with his energy, and to hell with the recruiting rankings
We're hitting 16.7% of our shots...to their 50%
Too soon. But yeah hopefully we get some dudes
Bwag said:

box score updated now...up to 28%
I wonder if there is a list of teh guys who would be eligible to be grad transfers already.
Well since they scored a touchdown we are up by 2.. settle in boys
Follow through Fran

And who don't have handlers.
We say putting your hand in the cookie jar
I think 247 will run something similar to their one they have for football
I don't know the redheaded kid in the huddle, but we should try him.
And in the first 5 minute top ten recruit vs. burned redshirt frosh comparison - Ochai with 5 pts and 2 RBs - Grimes on the stat sheet with a TO!
Teahan
The old swan neck.
Hey, we're in the green on PF differential...unheard of lately
Slipped on the snow there
Getting bad Dedric so far
DD corner three. :heart:
Wow we really dont listen to our coaches. Robinson is Left handed hes going left
Woodrow said:

What a pass!

Lead

Iron
Make em play D
Bwag said:

lol.
This point guard carries the ball every time he touches it and is flat awful. Big step down from Fisher.
boom
Barnes doesn't have to play us 2 x
Great shot by d law
Took Grimes out and we go on a run 🧐
Worst call in sports bar none
Chuck! Makes up moves
Way to state it captain obvious. "They can't play without Lawson"
Closeups of that court hurts my eyes. Looks like a TV test pattern.
Bill looks down the bench for someone to replace chuck
Criminy. A 2 pt. lead and we turn it over 2 straight times.
Oh God chuck. That's pathetic man
If Charlie would just accept his role he would be serviceable
Hawk8086 said:

Wouldn't want to make things easy.
@BeddieKU23 self said same thing
Good God Charlie please just quit the team.
BeddieKU23 said:
Oh God chuck. That's pathetic man
travel and a shot put style shot
Even if he didn't travel that was like a third grade playground shot
DanR said:

I saw that....nobody there.
Boise's blue football field, Eastern Wshingtons red football field, TCU's white court, Minnesota's white court. 4 worst playing surfaces in all of sports. Oregon's wins the consolation prize.
kjayhawks said:
Good God Charlie please just quit the team.
He might not have a choice.
@BeddieKU23 lol
"I fart in thy general direction" - French castle & Chuck
I mean at what point does this kid get real. Look at the hoop before you shoot. I didnt think you actually had to teach it
@BeddieKU23 He saw all the love that Mahomes was getting with passes looking away from the receiver and he wanted some of that....
OCHAI
approxinfinity said:
OCHAI
The savior
Sure let's leave a 50 percent shooter wide open
Nice passing
My God ochai your unreal
Take that fools gold to the bank
Give Self credit - he's belatedly realized that Dotson needs to be off the ball and spot up more - he's our best outside threat...
I don't think Grimes feels comfortable catching and bringing the ball up to the pocket. Needs to practice that.
Nice effort q
Let's see how much longer tcu keeps three guys on dedric
hahaha, nice speed O!
GOAL TEND
Dumb
I think it has got to the point that anything we get from Q at any point the rest of the way has to be considered a bonus
Woulda been an air ball
I hate you Fran. :broken_heart:
Three the easy way.
Did I happen to mention I'm a big fan of Agbaji?
Crimsonorblue22 said:
Dumb
But we'll take it
Charlie trying to play defense. Oh boy.
Agbaji is dope
Dave still refuses to pass
Juice the word of the game
I liked Big Dave's shot...didn't hurry...even though it didn't go in.
One of these days big daves jump hook is going to be MONEY
McCormack would be good if he had touch
Woodrow said:
Dave still refuses to pass
He has a very long way to go but being forced into minutes could help down the road. That's the hope anyway.
He had deep position I like the shot but he just needs one to go in
Loooong way to go
FT's and one more made 3 are the difference
McCormack is fine. He just needs some more acclimation
Wiggins not playing for TWolves tonight. Anyone know why not?
Still winning the foul margin. These refs must be drunk
@cragarhawk no choice
cragarhawk said:
McCormack is fine. He just needs some more acclimation
Agree, he will be good in time. Starter material by JR year imo.
Wouldn't be the worst thing if Danny ended up back on the staff after this year.
@approxinfinity That pretty much sums it up.
No. I think he gets really good really quickly after this first lil "getting to know you" phase
Fran has higher hopes for KU in the NCAAT than me.
Fran, thats the nicest thing you've ever said about KU. Now wheres the mute button? Let me relish it.
"It's Charlie Moore time" - Charlie Moore
I love hustle!!!
Dave had his guy pinned. Should throw him the ball
Chuck was open. Never gonna stop chucking
No Ochai and Dedric is scary as hell
Nice
Nice. But dunk that
GREAT passing! Good job Charlie.
I watched Danny play full court 1-1 in Robinson gym once against a large football player. I should have been home studying.
So kj can't jump either
Chuck pass works
Dave slow to rootate. Self let him have it
Walk
Pretty sure that's a foul
Dave with the hammer block. Rim protector!
Woodrow said:
No Ochai and Dedric is scary as hell
Definitely our two best players, so this TCU run makes a lot of sense.
Second string team in the court
Okay. Subs
More walk than foul for sure
Just another anticipation foul
Grimes is back in space on d
Get Moore out
Maybe the buzz is coming off the refs....
Sweet
My stat to rock is 3+ assists from Charlie. Would like to see it.
Moore never needs to play again
I'd rather play with 7 then play moore
No Moore no more please
Moore is one of my homeboys, but man, I'm like ya'll, he needs to idk, sit.
@approxinfinity how many to?
Love the way these kids are playing tonight
0-3 last 3 Charlie shots, with change of possession.
Good effort, good passing, ends with missed threes both times unfortunately.
Look self do yourself a favor here. SIT CHARLIE
Good passing...missed shot...sounds like a brick coming off the rims
Good lord. Brick city.
Wow guys. Too tired to even try
Grimes is mostly useless but at least he's not destructive like Charlie is
Kids are playing as hard as I've seen all season. That will eventually bring good things. Self has been spending alot of time on defense and rebounding. I like it. Now we may go forth and build
DanR said:
Grimes is mostly useless but at least he's not destructive like Charlie is
This is where I'm at too.
@BeddieKU23 No kidding. Charlie is killing us.
get charlie out of there...my gosh....
Clanking shots left and right. 9-27 FGs - 4-15 on 3s. Not going to win many games...
All that run was 100% Moore. Get him out forever, hopefully the team hides his Jersey at the half what absolute dipshit.
Charlie needs to focus on how he makes others more successful and see himself as a final option. Think that would be a successful approach for him
4-15 from 3 5-12 from 2
Still in the game somehow!
It was 26 20 when agbaji and dedric left the game. Now 32 28.. you cant sit both of them together. Note to Self
OH BOY
Great. Dedric
KU isn't really playing that bad. Ball movement has been solid and KU has had a lot open looks, just haven't been making them. Defense has also been solid tonight so far.
Dotson corner 3.. :heart: :heart:
This team is a walking dumpster fire.
Can we trade Grimes and Moore for Vick with his head out.
Uh Oh, but Kudos to coach to sit him.
If Dedric is pissed and showing emotion you know it is bad
Dotson's spot
Oh jeez all we need more problems
Lightfoot magic
Good defense there...leave them so open the pressure gets to be too much..
This certainly has been an interesting season.
Hell yes Q!
Maybe dedric was pissed about Charlie being a ball hog dipshit?
Hell ya. I'll watch a Group of kids play that hard all day
Q! Nice evasive answer Coach
Bill not really interested in chatting with Holly there........
Cant get more luck then those last 2 shots by TCU. Redic
Lol at that three by Robinson, but I'll take a halftime tie on the road...
Wow. Never seen Self short like that ! He’s pissed.
That was a huge shot by q, first step back jumper made all season
Well, I feel like we should have the lead...to many TOs?
wissox said:
Q! Nice evasive answer Coach
With a smile or a smirk on his face...
Decent half outside of Moores shenanigans. Dedric just frustrated he cant get a shot, I wouldn't read into too much.
@Crimsonorblue22 That wasn't private.
Dotson and Agbaji came to play. Dotson with 14. Agbaji has a million rebounds
I think Dedric will be OK. Self did say they need to get the ball to him more. I noted that Dave had his man posted up several times and we looked right at him and went elsewhere.
Hawk8086 said:
Well, I feel like we should have the lead...to many TOs?
7 turnovers which isn’t bad for this team on the road. Lawson only having 3 points doesn’t help.
Rebounding=heart stat. Want it more. Not after the ball hits the rim. Before it goes up.
Is Seth an idiot?
That's rhetorical.
Dotson and Agbaji looked like first team All Conference first half. Hopefully, Dotson will continue shooting this much.

Who had KJ outperforming Dedric through one half?
Listening to seth Greenberg will make you drink
Studio guy thinks we're losing by 3
Dave is fine, he just needs to see a few baskets go down. And they will. He's playing really hard. I'll take it
BeddieKU23 said:

Or 6. ;)
Felt like more. Kid has had his hand on everything
Not to change the subject or anything but some joker asked my daughter to marry him this weekend. He's a Cubs fan. Gonna have to go out and rent Father of the Bride.
KUSTEVE said:

At this point I just want to see SO Dotson + Agbaji combo.
The highlight of the half for me was Agbaji running back from half court to grab an offensive rebound
BeddieKU23 said:

Trying makes a big difference.
@BeddieKU23 He goes after the ball. In contrast to Grimes - only KU player without a RB in the 1st half...
Good half for KJ
@kjayhawks More points than his brother, but no fault of Dedric's. He was covered. 0-2 from 2-pt range. Still got 5 boards.
@tundrahok Yep, thats why he's frustrated
Oh good, they let us know when Duke is playing.
Woodrow said:
If Charlie would just accept his role he would be serviceable
I am catching up on reading the entire thread for 1st half after watching it. Can usually remember what happened in the game causing comments. Not this one. Lots of candidates, unfortunately!
So whz up with D tonight? - -we can't afford for him to have off nights. - -way it sounds off the radio is like he frustrated - -not really connected to the game - -asking way to much out of Ochaji and Devon -they can't keep carrying this team - -KJ helping out tonight - - we have to keep Moore off the floor - bad things happen when he is on the floor
Tied at half without his normal scoring
OCHAI
@jayballer73 Dedric is getting doubled every single time he touches the ball. Hard for him to score like that.
I think that court is giving me a headache. I'm going to watch the second half wearing my polarized fishing sunglasses.
wissox said:

Two others are worse: KSU and Duke both have, well, things identifying them as KSU and Duke...
I wish Dedric would just jump....
TCU has made some tough shots
Um, Dedric. You got the ball that time dude.
Doke would have dunked it
I'd like to watch that on slow mo. No way that was legal steps.
I'm weird! I like it better than KSU Dark court😳
Nice passing
Coming out with good energy. Feel like they're on the verge of a big run.
Dedric with the alley oop outlet pass.
Though was a little worried about the fly ball pass from Lawson to start that
Grimes is more than a catch and shoot guy today.
Nice D and blockout Mitch
Dedric frustrated
Law forcing crap cause he ain't scoring dont become VICK
Yes
Crimsonorblue22 said:
Dedric frustrated
but who should he blame...he got blocked cause he attempted a weak lay in under the hoop and then shot poorly when hurried an open shot..
I'll give the team some credit, they're getting Deric the ball
Finally Dedric!
Dedric needs to stay calm when struggling. His team is competing.
That was an awful shot.
He's been a slow starter all year, but not as slow as tonight.
Bad force by Dotson. 4 point swing.
Dedric forcing
Lawson got fouled before that ugly shot.
He can go sit back down. We're at the point in the season where anyone out there should recognize there's no time for bullshit.
Lawson has become Vick. We dont need it
Dedric has been fairly bad tonight, but man he was fouled hard on that last one.
Woodrow said:
Bad force by Dotson. 4 point swing.
Dotson has to pull that ball out and work for a good shot. Could have gone up 6 or 7.
Dedric should tell at himself 4 shots from point blank range man. Dunk ball little man
I hated that exchange where Dotson forced the shot and then Bane came down with a layup...4 pt. swings suck.
He cant dunk without running start
I'm getting Perry vs athletic defenders flashbacks.
Dedric forcing it...should have made the layup and then just threw that crap up there.
Ochai's rebounds are memorable because they are so emphatic. He rips them down.
I don't think I can jump higher than Dedric, but I will... And that just irritates me to no end
Zionish
Lawson has had plenty of good looks, it's just not falling for him tonight.
I don't think Perry ever threw a shot over his shoulder while running out of bounds. He'd just get his shot packed shooting squared up and below the rim.
Lawson should think of dunking once in a while. I'm 60 and dunk almost as well as he does. Which is not at all.
Come on Ded. Settle down and take care of business
Catch shoot miss. Grimes special. Get the kid ball dominant.
FG% 38% is hurting
Lawson 2/10 with most shots not helping.
BShark said:
Dedric has been fairly bad tonight, but man he was fouled hard on that last one.
I went back and watched it in slo-mo. It could have been a foul, but he wasn't mugged like it looked in real time.
thank goodness for lightfoot. we needed a stop
Grimes didnt even square up
MITCHELL GIMME DAT SHIT LIGHTFOOT
Grimes hit that one when the pass was a skip pass where he didnt bring it across his body.
Lightfoot
Wow Mitch! Dedric tough
YOU JUST GOT MITCH-SLAPPED !
Tough as I've ever seen him
Dedric is getting assaulted in there pretty much non stop
Mitch!!!!
Mitch gives us a lift. Now a 7 pt lead...I'm cautiously optimistic about this game now.
Mitch!!!!
I wish for nothing else from the season except you boys play this hard everyday.
Meotch!
Bingo observation. He leaned left on the prior
@cragarhawk they have too
Mitch is the man! No reason he shouldn’t be playing more.
@nuleafjhawk he clearly just "wants it more" :wink:
Hawk8086 said:
Mitch gives us a lift. Now a 7 pt lead...I'm cautiously optimistic about this game now.
TCU went on a 7-0 run in 60 seconds in the first half! Long ways to go.
Mitch wants Moore? I want Moore! J/K!
The whole team wants it more than they have in previous games. And I'm sorry for those that can't see that.
Anyone else see a difference in this teams effort without a certain name. Regardless of the outcome they have played hard
To expand on that no: the team has played hard two games in a row now. Dotson and Agbaji go very hard.
I think the effort has been solid all around tonight, we've just had too many bunnies from Dedric and David missed or it's a 20 point game currently.
@approxinfinity I want no moore
cragarhawk said:

Amen
We've only been whistled 5 times for fouls, none in the 2nd half. Refs mustn't have gotten the KU on the road memo.
BeddieKU23 said:

Self is usually very good about removing bad influences. He got soft with you know who last summer.
It's a real thing
No smile
Was the cheerleader holding a dog over his head in the background of that dedric replay?
Gooooo
@BeddieKU23 -27 in road games?
DD Corner 3... :heart: :heart: :heart:
Leap frog
Mitch again with defense
More good D by Mitch
And there's that run...
Dotson. We've got Dotson here
4 on 2, we'd like to decline the penalty please
Intentional?
That assist was dope versus forcing up something underneath under pressure
Lightfoot dont go over Ochai's back? Wheres the foul dude.
Jeez Grimes
OMG Q. Make a layup.
@nuleafjhawk I hate that phrase "wanted it more" ... thought you were ribbing be about it
Crashing boards
Just can’t make that dagger shot
If Mitch could only hit that wide open 3.
Ltft pooped
we're taking kind of dumb shots
Mitch hit the half courter before game
Come on guys
Gosh if Ochai makes that wide open 3...that's a 13 pt. lead and a dagger!
Had three chances to extend the 10 point lead and couldn’t capitalize
Woodrow said:
Just can’t make that dagger shot
Great effort though. This team struggles to shoot at times. Would likely have more wins if this effort was there all year.
Mitch can't shoot that anymore less than 15% career 3 point shooter
Threw a dart at the board.
Mitch"s open 3 not a bad shot...would love to see him hit it though
I want Mitch to earn PT his senior year. This :100: effort Mitch is inspiring. But if he could drain the 3 he could get consistent minutes even against superior athletes.
Hope he figures it out for next year.
approxinfinity said:

I hate that I was right about this.
@kjayhawks he made some last year, tired now
Woodrow said:

Yeah....that's frustrating.
I don't think we had a good sample size from the past couple years about Mitch's accuracy from three.
Hawk8086 said:
Woodrow said:

Yeah....that's frustrating.
It definitely is, but I mostly don't feel like it wasn't because of poor play other than Q missing a close shot.
@Crimsonorblue22 his percentage is terrible
Rest up at commercial and come back out with renewed energy and focus. and a quick punch to TCU's trachea...metaphorically speaking
kjayhawks said:

8-25 for his career before this game. 32%. But 0-5 this season.
Big Dave back on the court
Hooooooo
Mitch goes out and Noi scores right away
Crimsonorblue22 said:
Hooooooo
OCHAAAAAI
hahahahahaa Inbounds lob is alive and well with Ochai
Dave needs to do something good
the old Ben McClemore inbounds play
We should run that play everytime.
Woodrow said:

In case you didn't click that tweet: Mitch had a better block % than Bamba last yr
Ochai's smile and ability it going to make him a star.
WTF! Did ESPN lose the feed, or just my cable?
Not here
@nwhawkfan your cable
Points AND a board for Dedric
That's AND ONE but never for Dedric.
Dawson
CHUCK ALERT
Can we not let this Z-Bo big boy out rebound us?
Someone foul out? Why is Moore in?
seriously Dawson gets raped every time down the court, then they call that against him?
Wtf is that call
@nwhawkfan did you miss Lawsons dunk where he took off from the free throw line?
Dave missing a rebound. Need Mitch back in fast.
garbage
Fran 😡
Got the signal back. Good.
Sharing 15
Big Dave
good move from Dave
9 minutes to go in the bonus
Exactly what I told Dave to do
Go clock
Yeah
GO BIG DAVE!
Those 2 FTs will be huge
we're shooting 90% against giant J. Dixon...maybe we can take him everywhere...
Dave is amped up now
nuleafjhawk said:

Ty Lawson?
Nice second effort McCormack
Gotta grab those boards. Forced a bad shot, but can’t give them another chance.
I've noticed a handful of plays where daves size makes them go the other way
Big Dave reminds me of that gangly 8th-9th grader who is so raw, but you can see the potential.

BeddieKU23 said:

Nothing you can do about that garbage. Ochai was right there.
Come guys run the offense, looks like we are running clock.
BeddieKU23 said:

Vick-like
@kjayhawks yep that time
I'm happy with Q this game. i think there are some things he can fix, and he still needs to throw it in aother gear the whole game. He was the connector in transition and he was the guy that knocked down last shot of first half. Somet things to like.
Not missing Vick. Everyone else is playing better with him out.

@Crimsonorblue22 OU hanging with Baylor so far tonight
First time all night I'm pissed at the refs.
Trash call on Dedric there
Haha. Come on
Oh now the refs decide to stop drinking
Samuel is kind of a concrete hands guy
Oh lord haha
Ha ha
Need a bucket
Less Moore is more
Great hands with all state
Oh yes goaltend
GT
Wow he said those THREE freshman guards. Maybe Q gets the benefit of hanging out with Ochai and Devon?
Bane is pretty good, but without Fisher TCU isn’t the same.
Wow, Dave really showed out there defensively. That's good to see.
All right guys. Keep it going. Run the offense
I believe in him too
Robinson has never went right in his life. This isnt hard
Refs stahp
Sucks to get shoved into a travel
That was really nice D Q. Locked in on that side! Love it.
BShark said:
Refs stahp
Was that code for they suck?
How many boards d dot have?
Dedric has gotten away with a couple hip checks on that hedge. Fair enough considering the beating he's taking inside.
Double team our star big, guards get open. Makes sense.
Jeez Dedric getting pushed
Oh boy. Mitch freethrow time. Always an adventure
Sloppy. Lets go.
Noooo
Make up foul

A bunch for a guy not really 6’2”

shit
Buckle up
Dedric forcing it is making me irritable.
Are kidding me
I thought they were over Dedric
Big big miss by mitch
Good. Sit.him
4 fouls on Dedric
How's that a foul on him
Not sure how that foul was on Dedric
Big make by Mitch
DL, please stop with the 3's. You're not very good at it.
Lawson maybe hurting more that helping
MITCHELLLLLLLL
MOTM - Mitch Of The Match !

D can't hang with a thick big man. We've got to get Dave oriented. Rapidly

Mitch the man
Mitch bails out Grimes, again!
cragarhawk said:

Not sure it happens this year but yeah Dedric is not good on D.
Mighty man
Mitch has to hit the frees ones tho. Was 1-4 on Saturday
Meotch!
Like Mitch celebrating with his hands still on the rim! Man has WANT TO!
Mitch was not woke until the K St game. He's changed.
Another bailout. Great D tho
Who was the phantom foul on?
Block that ant
Grimes did a good job
Well shit
Mitch is the perfect role/glue guy.
Good. Let them back in. 15 point wins are boring
Mitch had some swagger last year. It just took some playing time to get it back this year.
That was on Grimes, he got DESTROYED.

Closers they are not. Never a dull moment.
Thank you.

That was on Grimes, he got DESTROYED.
Shocking
Now Mitch has Want To too much....
Good God guys let's not blow another one
Called it on the third hack. Good job, ref.
How many on Robinson?
Oh crap
Bout time they called the bump
BIG FTS HERE

It only took him constantly riding on Dotson.
God those were bad exchanges to cut to 5.
Bigs gotta be careful both with 4
Just need to settle down and hit these. Then play defense, good defense wins the game.
About time call the hacks from Robinson
BeddieKU23 said:

Do we have to play KJ or Dave a bit here? History indicates Self will ride with Mitch and Dedric until they foul out or the game is over.
Funny, the dude chest bumps DDot 3 times, but it takes the 3rd for the ref to call a foul. Then the fans boo because they're in Texas and they don't understand anything but football.
Huge 1 and 1 coming. Need dots ice cold veins
Grimes does fine d'ing up iso, he's not reacting at the college speed when the ball moves fast.
Mostly been good on d tonight besides that Davis blowby
@approxinfinity QG's playing with more fluidity tonite.
@approxinfinity Grimes is still lost in his own head. I had hoped things would slow down for him by now.
HOPE DOT IS NOT DISTRACTED BY THE BIG WAVEY COACH
💩
sigh
💩 💩
gotta keep it close for the home team
Darnit Mitch
That lead disappeared quick
Another recurring bad dream...
cragarhawk said:
Darnit Mitch
Playing scared with 4 fouls. Tough spot.
LOL. Pathetic
That's bad. Missed one and one, then the TO....anybody's game now. And they have the MO.
Imagine thinking this team could win on the road.
And just like that. Shit came down their legs
It's ok Devon..took it like a man. Made the mistake tried his best to challenge. Settle.
Ochai where r u?
Upset my rear Fran. Any KU road win is an upset.
Dammit
Favored team looking for huge upset?
avoid grimes on this possession
Fran can bite me
Why cant we make simple plays in the last 5 minutes on the road good God guys
Who put the tape in of the last road game?
I’m ready for some big old brass freaking balls to develop on these freshmen. I’m tired of watching them wilt late in games!!!
Lawson weak sauce man

Where has Ochai gone? Quiet the last few minutes.
Come on Dedric. Plus, WTF coach, this is our offense for the final three minutes?
We've just gone away from what was working. This D Lawson sh-- is weak
Another 35 minute try
Walk
Here come the gleeful posts that KU is losing.
Forchrissakes
Who would have thought Dave M would be the most reliable FT shooter under pressure?
Oh well

Gleeful post that people are gleefully posting? All the same man.
We just lost the b12 folks.
We knew that already. We gotta learn to play hard for 40
Was that a whistle before the play occurred?
Should have just run the offense instead of having Dedric play hero.
Football is right around the corner!
Not grimes
WTH? Poise guys.
Put a fork in 'em.
Q catch across body 3, auto miss.
Nice touch Q
Dunk that, Dedric!
I can't believe they went on a 9-0 run!!
Regroup. Defense will win this last minute.
Not over. It's right there. Catch a breath and find something left in the tank
Ack that was ugly
Get a stop
What a bunch of fair weather fans.
Epic collapse again
Come on guys. Need to come back and win this.
Not over
Stop and a score
Let's write our own history now.
6 points left at the line 4 by upper class men
Show some mental toughness...can our young team win at the mental level? Let's start that now and grow it though Feb into March
KU ball
Finger
Yup!
Smart
Back in it!
I'm going to plant a tree in memory of a replay going our way for once

OVERTIME BOYS!!!! WOOO SUCK IT FRAN!
With the way we blew that lead..lucky to be going to OT.
Let's go!!
Happy to be wrong on this one. Thought when Mitch fouled out we'd lost our mojo.
approxinfinity said:

Wish I could send Fran to the Browns with Kareem Hunt.
Great move by KJ
We are going to dominate this OT. Leavr Big Jamie Dixon scratching his head.
I wish ppl would stop with the big12 and the streak. I couldn't care less if we lose any of that or this game. It's the hardest the collective group has played all year. Minus major contributors.... Just wanna see them play hard and improve. Perspective folks
Dedric has to not foul.
Quick! Get BIFM on the video conference line. Stat!
Mental toughness ---grow that muscle right here
@approxinfinity I find it sad that the TCU athletic department has to make props for the student section
@cragarhawk I wish this team would finish road games.
Free throws would've been nice
Let Dedric foul out. I want to see Ochai involved.
We missed 3 front ends in a row
So do they, atleast we are seeing some heart from them tonight. I'll take that any day
No grimes
Dotson working on a double double
Yea, I agree, playing with heart tonight
sketchy but dotson helped him
Ochai blocked that on the other end I think too. Get that guy the ball.
Yes. Ogbaji's cross body 3... Any 3... Pure
Has Grimes ever played before? My daughter's cat a higher BB IQ.
Found him
OA has big balls
Sweet chick fillet shirt🤣
&Stop
OK. 5 pt lead on the shot by Dedric..Let's hold onto this lead!

@cragarhawk Good point! Regular season is prelude, after all.
Come on finish
Ochai
Fran has a new go to line: Swan neck
How many more times will we hear that this season now?
That 5 ?
Yes
Let's go Dave!
Big Monday Big Dave
Goodness they have made some shots
Stupid foul
Terrible call
Didnt even touch him

Looked like a travel at first but maybe I am wrong on that too!
Silvio in for the win
And this is why you give the non-stars minutes even in close games.
Oh wait
Dave!
4 on him?
Whew thought that was off interference ok Dave!
Great hustle David
Home team not in foul trouble??? Shocking
Settle
yikes
Blow by. 2 steps.

Grimes is waaaaay too slow for Davis. Can't afford that match-up.
All right let's GO
Gotta make free throws. Shouldn’t be that hard.
whistles...fast
8 missed points now
Cross body. Whiff.
Grimes is terrible
Shit
Don't shoot grimes
He just can't catch and shoot. Why bother. It needs to be fixed.
Gotta make a shot
Grimes is really really bad
How about letting Ochai shoot. Dotson and Grimes had theirs
Chuck is our only scholarship player left on the bench
What's that a Charlie shot
foul?
My goodness
Win the last 1:30
Ok! Hell yeah bigs. Keep it up.
Nice D grimes. Jesus.
Ugh
Goodbye Q.

Devon likes his frogs medium rare.
We got another long awaited and overdue road win. Hard fought, but let's freakin' take it, no complaints.
Wow. Just Wow. Pure grit.
Lol. Dave
With the exception of about 3 minutes, this was our best game, IMO.
Fun to watch at least!
Dave....really dumb.
He got the ball
why would that be a flagrant foul?
That was a good block. F everyone lol . Love it!

Proud of the effort. This is what I've been waiting to see. Keep it up and good things will happen. Self will be happy with the energy tonight
a road win...even.
Ya we won a road game!!!!
KJ was big tonight for KU.
@approxinfinity My last comment was on one person. "Game over" he proclaimed when we were losing by 4 with 2:30 left. It was directed at him mainly. He's been doing it all year. To his credit it looks like he left the thread at that point, as did I because I was pretty pissed at people quitting on this team. I kept watching. Great win. Amazing win! I'm pumped.
Dotson 25
OA 20
Lets hear that chant now TCU TCU TCU!!! HAHAHA!!!!!!! Take your Jamie sign and shove it.
Hey our All American wasn't good! We won! More Ochai please! Less Q catch and shoot. We have a higher ceiling. Good win.

All good brother! Rock chalk!
30 three point attempts... surprising?
This one deserves an extra nightcap.
Q has been more engaged the last 2 games though. I'm taking it as steps in the right direction.
Dotson and Agbaji are as real as it gets.
3 players with double-doubles: Dotson, Ochai & Dedric. Fantastic.

Yup. Q was 1-8 tonight from three but I will take him hoisting shots and being engaged in the game (5 ast, some rebounds, ACTUALLY FOULED OUT) than a complete no show.
Davis was a nightmare match-up for him defensively.
nwhawkfan said:

Yea KJ manned up. And Meotch brought some great energy. And Ochai is just a stud
Why do I get a feeling this team might actually be getting things together at about the right time? You know screw #15. It would be nice, but if they are worried about that stupid streak, let it go already. They need to play this all the way to end and things will fall into place.

He's freshman T-Rob. Once McCormack channels his energy and slows down in offense and learns good defensive techniques, he'll be a beast.

Incorrect. Dotson had a FT miss early in the game. The other missed 1-1 was Big Dave.
Thankfully Dotson closed out strong from the line.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Amen to that. He seems to get the most out of his players. No McDonalds All-Americans on that squad as far as I can recall.
@Texas-Hawk-10 He'll adjust fine. He's bigger than TRob.
@Big-Clyde52 up fran
Dotson just needs a flat top now. #BIDD
@truehawk93 I agree he'll will be fine, just a matter of when it happens, but I suspect it won't happen until next season though on a consistent basis.
Really dumb shots at the end! In regulation
I was really hoping to have SDS. I thought he would give DLaw a chance to work more outside the lane. But I digress. Also, I think Big Mac will own the lane. I hope with some PT he gets his game together real fast. WE could use him ASAP.
@Crimsonorblue22 looking at the 0lay by play the last few minutes is turnover on Dotson and turnover on Lawson one right after the other.
Dotson and Agbaji both with double digit rebounds. TOUGH.
Fran on that charge!😤
Texas Hawk 10 said:

I'm kinda hoping the whole Bill Self IQ thing for Big Mac will pan out really sooner than later. I heard the kid has a really high IQ for a big.
@truehawk93 I've heard Dave is a good student
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don't either. My rant was directed at their fans. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Dixon.
Big Mac has got to be Doke and SDS all in one. He is a little of both. Self better play Big Mac a lot going forward. Let him bumble stumble and fail. But play him all the same. Its the only way the kid will get better.
@kjayhawks that was a dumb stretch for sure. Dotson dribbled over to Grimes on the wing and there was no plan from there except try to get the ball to Dedric
DanR said:

haha...Watching Dotson and Grimes sometimes reminds me of watching biddy bball when the kids try so hard, make silly mistakes, and then look over like, "what did I just do!" Self just gets that crap eatin' grin on his face, and shakes his head.
Gawd I do have to remind myself how young these kids are right now. They have so much pressure.
Mercy where would you start with this ? - -I mean your on the brink of being out of the big twelve race - after leading by 12 - -managing to be able to come back after being down by what like 4 with right at a minute left? - -get it to overtime
We have 3 guys foul out - -end the game with Dotson - -Obachi - - McCormack - -KJ - - & Moore - -somehow someway - manage to win.
Show the guts of this team - might of grew up a lot possibly - -might be the turning point to help us carry through the rest of the season.
little things - - players stepping up that normally don't play a part - -- - -Mitch - - Again like 3 blocks - a few points - -just hustle - - -and most of all KJ - -you talk about steppin up big - man we needed that - - - - -then we have Devon - - & Obachi - -what we get from those two is just crazy - -actually asking for more then fair considering Freshmen - -but who else we got to deliver ? -to the rest of the league - - - - WERE STILL HERE -how many other of the league teams was pulling for TCU ? - - - - -ALL OF THEM - take that to the bank. - again as close as this was - - you would think these guys has to gain confidence out of this. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY-
DanR said:
why would that be a flagrant foul?
He didn't say it was flagrant. He said Dave risked one with that huge swing. If he connected with a head or neck, flagrant 1 for unnecessarily aggressive physical contact.
Well, on to WVU who just kicked two starters off their team in AFH.
One thing I loved about Dave was that Big rebound in OT. That was a Trob rebound, a man's rebound!!!
Devon Dotson:
Okay, Max Legroom. You get yours. Meanwhile, I’m gonna go Hayden Pantiniere on TCU. Especially when they get froggy!
TCU:
Ribbit. Ribbit.

Even the frosh are better in the post game
Dotson played the entire 45 minutes? Dude
@kjayhawks - -Turnovers for sure but like the radio guys said look at his entire stat line for the night. - -not a SECOND off the floor - - -45 minutes - - 11 rebounds - - ELEVEN from your point guard - - like 3 steals - -forget how many assists if we didn't have him - -people wouldn't even be talking about his turnovers wouldn't of mattered -- we can't afford to take him out - -on top of that those 6 turnovers wasn't totally all his fault - not saying he didn't make some costly turnovers - -But man this kid is playing pretty dang good over all - -it showed for sure. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity I am, his size isn't what they want at the next level unfortunately for him. I bet hes here 3 years, at least I hope.

I am just glad the players didn't become as negative as this board did when KU fell behind. Seems like it becomes a contest to see who is first to announce we are toast. Fortunately, the team noticed that over 2 mins were left in the game.
Not sure I've ever said this before but Hook'em Horns tomorrow!
KJ was the man when he needed to be, he was huge against Tennessee as well. To me he's Jamari Traylor 2.0, always goes hard but doesn't always go smart. Hopefully he gets an ovation at AFH when he checks in he deserves it.

Celebrate!
@Crimsonorblue22 Great link! Team needed big boost!
@Crimsonorblue22 A win like this with everything seeming against us coming in and late in the going is huge deal, big building block. The effort is really Key, we have looked good for much of 3 of the last 4. The only bad looking game was one where we got out hustled and didnt have the effort. Once again Effort is where it starts, play hard and good things happen my friends.
A roadie! There’s still hope.
Thought we were on our way to an epic collapse after that 12 point lead disappeared.
Victory!
— so what was the deal with Lawson and Self? Lawson was out of sorts tonight.
— I expect Dotson to announce his run for president any time now. Think he’d get the state of Kansas?
— soooo close to a walk-on getting PT in crunch time. Whew. Although I am curious if Teahan can shoot...
— KJ gets a pass from criticism tonight. He made a couple very big buckets.
— The invisible man reappeared for one nice fast break pass. Then poof he was gone with his inconsistent jump shot. I’m just a schmuck on a couch, but to me it seems like Grimes can’t get the ball to come off the right spot in his hand when shooting. It’s in his palm when he misses, and he pushes it.
— I’m thinking Ochai for VP under the Dotson presidency. Self could be Chief of Staff.
— Love how Ochai hits the boards like a man. Hoping it will inspire Grimes to do the same.
— I think some games wouldn’t be as close if we valued the ball and possessions. Freshmen mistakes I guess.

Me too. - -nothing really against Garrett at all , love his defense and we need that , but I just think with him in the starting rotation that his offensive or lack of I should say is just another negative to try and over come -- would just fall back to where it is like 4-5 on the offensive end as other teams just so no respect on his J at all. - I mean even as bad as Q has been I think I'd STILL take him as in starting rotation because other teams still play him straight up, just think this starting line up is a better fit- - I still feel that like the chances of Q finally busting out of this almost season long shooting slump compared to Garrett finding any kind of shooting touch -- is much better. - -Again I'm not trying to knock Marcus Garrett it's just that - his shot is just ugly and their gonna double Dedric for sure when Marcus is there - -but he is a very good relief/backup -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Devon played almost as well as senior Frank last night. What an amazing performance. This is the kind of victory that can propel a team to greater heights, for sure. I am pumped up.

I don’t feel this comment is directed at me, but... if the team didn’t prove those negative thoughts mostly right in the road it would happen less. We fans are used to all American guard play and the poise that goes with it. That’s not simply going to happen this year. I am fullly expecting to get frustrated, irritated, and flat out pissed at their poor play and overwhelmed with happiness and pride when they do good.
Forgive my emotion as I genuinely care about KU basketball. It’s impossible for me to enjoy the wins without suffering thru the losses.
Bill pressing the right buttons again. The entire offense looked more aggressive last night without anyone deferring to our piss poor senior leader to do something. I'm still holding my breath that Grimes breaks out sometime in the next month. If he does, this team is still dangerous.

The fact Bill is able to even field a team capable of making the tournament after losing what could be 4 of our 6 best players is absurd.
I also fully expected it, which is why I put $200 on the game last night... Bill is gonna Bill.
I was amazed after the game to be honest.
I'm eating coal and humble pie today after thinking they were toast last night before the game and in the last few minutes of regulation as the lead slipped away. It just felt like so many other moments this season but this game was different. Guys took the adversity and fought back.
This felt like the defining moment of the season. Seeing the post game locker room with Self and the players confirmed just how big a win this was.
Heck with the streak it was great to see this team take a step forward in putting all adversity behind them.
I think Self has a group of 8 (soon to be 9) that will/has bought in. They played for each other last night and gave maximum effort almost the entire game. As soon as Vick is outed Dotson steps up, Agbaji steps up, Mitch steps up, KJ steps up. It's not hard to see the impact cutting ties with Vick has already had. Crazy.
@dylans I understand disappointment but it is the negative nastiness in the last few minutes of regulation I was responding to.
I don't know who said what, and anyone who did what I am saying can take it or leave it. But frankly last night's chorus was like being in the stands and having people shoving you out of the way before a game is over because they have given up and don't give a shit about other people still cheering and trying to enjoy the game.

Sorry double post.
Lots of fan police here. I’m guilty myself. I hate reading some run Self into the ground every chance they get. I now just ignore the main offender. I’ve realized I can not carry on a civil disagreement with some and the discussion that follows will always lead to nastiness, so I just don’t start the conversation. I despise reading posts of some who can’t handle the game time pressure but really appreciate other things they post, so I take the good with the bad. I’m trying my best to not let people I don’t really know impact my fun, hope you can too.
@dylans As a cool guy on here says, “I’m Responsible Only For What I Say, Not What You Understand.”
Last night was unique in both volume and intensity. Ignoring a couple comments is different than wading through a bunch. I guess I will just go back to not participating in the game thread. I definitely find that better anyway in terms of being able to follow the action instead of looking at my phone keyboard.
I can only do the live chat if I've had a few drinks first haha
I have tried to do the live chat but it distracts me from yelling at the tv.
I do acknowledge the irony of waxing negatively about negativity.
And I probably should explain that my reaction last night came no doubt from 2 things--all the comments made me think my cable feed was behind, and that I was reading comments at the end of the game. I kept hitting the "info" button to see if I was caught up. Since we were only 4 pts behind I did not see why people were so fed up and giving up. After all, 9 pts with 2:12 left in 2008....
But it also no doubt had to do with growing up with a dad who was always so angry watching sports that no one could stand being around him. And he would be angry at anyone who didn't agree with him. So, sports PTSD, I guess.
Apologies for squished toes.
@Texas-Hawk-10 While the team was collapsing (again), I was thinking that if we could just manage to regroup and come out on top it would be the biggest victory of the year so far.
I would have typed that lat night, but I was busy complaining about Self putting Dedric in the position to be the hero.
@Crimsonorblue22 It was also nice that Dickie V did that game. No one can call out fans for leaving like he does! His commentary and schtick get tiring, but no one can say he hasn't given his life to promoting the game. If HE says real fans don't leave, well, I believe him!
I consider myself to be one of the more optimistic rats here, but as we pissed away that big lead in the final minutes, I too felt like we were toast. Not just in another disheartening road loss but in our quest for #15 too.
My hand was on the off button in anticipation of what I arbitrarily deem the point of no return in a game. One eye closed, the other squinted and my stomach felt a bit sick as it always does when we lose and My finger almost pressed down. A 17-2 run by the bad guys in the last few minutes coupled with 4 TOs and the inability for anyone to make FTs can do that to me.
But then... something happened that I didn’t see coming with this group given their recent past road performances. We played through our mistakes and fought back to send the game to OT with unheralded K.J. slipping in the last bucket in regulation.
I’m so glad I hesitated!
Yes, I should have been happy enough that they finally played with heart for 38 minutes. Yes, I should have kept my premature “that was ugly” comment to myself. But dang it sure looked like “deja vu all over again”.
This group proved to me that they are capable of fighting back from deficits on the road and I’ll keep my trigger finger in check the rest of the season. Like Beddie i too feel it was a turning point.
It’s good to be proven wrong like that and a good reminder that, as always, it’s good to be a Jayhawk.
@StLJhawk Nice post. I almost went to bed, too, because I only had 4 hrs sleep the night before, and then thought about all the people who went to bed and missed Mario's shot and the OT in 2008. Then I said, "4 points? Who gets so scared at 4 points? Not me!" and bravely faced the next 120 seconds, which became 620 seconds, which got me so amped I was up 2 more hours reading the box and all the recaps. Which has me exhausted after another 4 hr night. But well worth it!

I can only do the live chat if I've had a few drinks first haha
I generally skip it until after the game, but I was stuck in a hotel in Denver last night. Normally my feed is behind and I’m watching the game with friends and/ or family.
Heck, I enjoy the game over comments at the end too, as long as it’s their last comment.

@dylans As a cool guy on here says, “I’m Responsible Only For What I Say, Not What You Understand.”
Last night was unique in both volume and intensity. Ignoring a couple comments is different than wading through a bunch. I guess I will just go back to not participating in the game thread. I definitely find that better anyway in terms of being able to follow the action instead of looking at my phone keyboard.
👌😉
I was ticked at the end of the game, I think most of us fans were like here we go again. Missed free throws, silly turnovers. We have just seen that movie far too many times. I don't think I was too bad on here lol except how pissed I was at Moores first half play. I never thought we was done because we still had almost 2 minutes and the ball down 4. Hopefully that gives us confidence in the next close game to just go ahead and make the free ones lol.
@kjayhawks I for one will work extra hard at not missing any.🏀
Has to be the most insane statement of the decade - - -A individual saying that they want to see Charlie More on the floor much more then Dotson - How Charlie is a much better ball player.
Hmmmm - -things that make you say - - " Houston - -we have a problem " -- This is ground control to Major Toung - 4 -- -3 - --2 - -1
Man I'd give anything to be smoking whatever this idiot was - -some really good shit -- put the pipe down and slowly back away - -I swear do some think about what they are saying before they say it - - -Charlie Moore better - - REALLY ?
@jayballer73 That's just kooky talk!

lol - - -VERY NICE LOL. -- rock chalk all day long baby
I enjoyed the last game thread. Everyone is a known commodity and I dont think the negativity was excessive. Just as this team learns to trust each other in crunch time with a big win, we too should learn to trust this team.
