LFFFFGGGGGG
Ready!
The lighting on Bilas here on pre-game is not flattering....kinda like Darth Vader when his helmut was pulled off.
Got a special one opened just for tonight: Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy
It has a long finish that is very welcome.
Well I’m a littler nervous for this one. Hope the boys come out juiced up and ready to roll from the get go.
@Crimsonorblue22 Get 'em, @Crimsonorblue22! We're counting on you.
Amazingly, the ND-FSU game that no one cared about ended on time.
Amazing another coach on the air giving their game plan on how to beat KU. Like we dont hear it enough
Holly is at Liberty Hall!
Lets rock Chalk tonight
Yay we get Jay
Don't have to hear you all complain about Fran tonight!
BeddieKU23 said:

No Fran, party.
Lawson got held on the beginning of his drive. Doesn't quite explain his brick but....
Offense is hard.
So uh, not the best start offensively.
Ugly runners for us...
Pretty much ugly every shot
What if we don't score a single point?
My god
getting mugged inside
Second made three all year sure.
0-7 and only down 5. I'll take it
4+ minutes gone and zero points. Will we match the 20 we had in the first half at TTU?
This team is tight AF
Throwin' it at the rim or general direction of the goal has not been effective offense
Missing layups and wide open 3s. We dont look tight, we look sped up
Bill couldn't wait for the first TV timeout. I bet he's used more early game TO's this season than in any of his previous seasons.
Other than Dedric's 3.....all of our shots have been....really really bad.
DanR said:

Only cause we have to
We're getting decent shots. Just throwing them at the glass like idiots. Looking at you Grimes.
We r surrounded by KSU fans. One girl screaming, may have to get in her way😡
I don't get nervous until the last minute....of the 1st half.
Not the start we needed, we can't play from behind
We're fine. Just need to settle the hell down.
So far the positive is our crowd is insane tonight. That's all
@Crimsonorblue22 How did they get in to AFH?!
Personally, I am glad to see Big Dave still out there and not going to 4 guards yet.
Dave can’t even hand it off. Come on
Bruce outcoaching Bill so far. Get some new material Bill.
What a joke
@BeddieKU23 Funny, but I'm not laughing....
Does Bill use 5 TO's in first half?
Game because Self is too stupid to tell guys to guard the corner.
3 points in 6 minutes isnt going to beat Washburn
You’ve got your hands full with these young ‘uns Bill!
Good lord people. THERE'S 33 MINUTES LEFT.
Bank is open late for us tonight.
Ugly works for us there
Grimes seemed to fouled on that three IMO
This is a Mitch game. He needs to play 25 minutes. No time for Dave.
@kjayhawks he’s not stupid
Garrett's Banked 3 makes us even with the Mawien 3 pointer.
Good response
Tech did it all Saturday night why not us
Woodrow said:

I gotta agree with this. Play to win. Ride with Mitch.
Words I never thought I'd say.
Hopefully that banked three finally gets Garrett going from downtown
Someone's called this game already? That's a new record!
@Crimsonorblue22 hitting yourself in the hand with a hammer everyday and expecting a different result is stupid.
Wish Grimes would have made that second 3 but you can see the extra energy he has just from making that first one .
I like Mitch, no qualifications
@wissox @kjayhawks called it. Definitely a new in-game record. One guy--and you know who I'm talking about -- calls it three days before the game.
No Doke, No Desousa, No Vick. Gimpy Garrett. 4 freshmen starters, but Self is worse than Bruce. @DanR I know @kjayhawks called it, I just didn't want to call him out specifically.
Oh look at that, we're winning.
You'll live with that look from Stockard. That wide open three the prior possession was awful though.
Marcus got fouled...
If Dedric gets it that low, count it.
MITCHEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Atta Boy Mitch!
Bitch, I'm Mitch
Mitch slapped D-Wade....
Ruh roh. Charlie time.
What is this lineup.?!!
2 on DWade. Big news.
Wade also has 3 turnovers. I won't mind him having a bad game.
Wow. Good play Charlie
I'd like to see Brown have a bad game too
MITCH
Edit: Play Mitch the rest of the game. He can’t come out.
Good style game for Mitch and KJ. They bring a little chaos that Weber wouldn't have planned on.
I often wondered if Adidas ever tried to get us to paint their logo on the shoes of the Jayhawk painted on our floor?
OK...3 point lead and Wade and Mawien with 2 fouls....all you could ask for...we just need to take advantage!!
We getting every call better take advantage
Woodrow said:

I was thinking the same thing when I got up to pee.
Mitch'in

Ironically the 2nd foul on Mawien can help Bruce if it forces him to put Wade back in and Wade doesn't commit another foul this half.
kjayhawks said:

After the game in Manhattan I'll take it.
KSU is ranked 16th, we're 15th. They're two games ahead of us in the standings of course, and have one fewer loss. We'd be peeved if the reverse were true.
I was going to build a giant Mitch Lightfoot snowman last snowfall here in Lawrence. If we get another good snow, I'm going for it.
good grief, charlie
Charlie with the hero ball run killer.
DanR said:
good grief, charlie
At first I thought he was going to do something smart like pass but lol
Why is Self sticking with this lineup?
I'm a few seconds behind so I waited in anticipation of what Charlie was going to do!
The Charlie experiment found its expiration months ago
Charlie Crap'n Moore
our second string team is doing OK
MOORE! AGH EVERY GAME
THE MITCH GAME
Prison Mitch
Mitch is playing out of his mind!
Woodrow said:
Why is Self sticking with this lineup?
BECAUSE MITCH IS A GOD
Leading KU scorers - Mitch Lightfoot and Quentin Grimes. Who'd a thunk it...
Buzz Lightfoot
Mitch is our leading scorer!
20-7 run since this game was declared over.
I must have misunderstood who was supposed to lose.
guards have to penetrate
Can't let Sneed get the shot
Self is sitting Dedric way too long
Like if I am Garrett I make McGuirl hit it.
If guard 3 it's a blow out
Woodrow said:
Self is sitting Dedric way too long
Here he comes.
Just got here. Mitch + Q?
Mitch's only real issue is fts.
Mitch Fts are killing him.
good lord I can't stand KSU's offense.
Did you ever notice that the Jayhawk in the middle of the floor's eyes move when the ball goes back the other way down the court?
DanR said:
good lord I can't stand KSU's offense.
Its getting them looks though.

Garrett is wiiide open. Lol
I think we have missed 6 3s without anyone with in 5 feet of us.
I'm not liking that we can't get a bigger lead with their 2 guys on the bench....
@approxinfinity dunk on that last possession, but usually it's just a last second on the shot clock prayer
Please hit these fts Dedric.
So Q hits a couple shots and has some confidence going and then Self sits him for 5-7 minutes so far. His substitutions have Ben questionable at best so far.
I don't want to know what our 3 point average is so far... I know we hit 2 out of...
@kjayhawks Hopefully that will even out in the 2nd half. But maybe not if it's Garret doing the shooting.
Second game in a row with nothing from Ochai too. Need him to get going.
oh, yeah, three out of ? I forgot Garrett's bank shot 3
@tundrahok I have nothing constructive to write about our young dysfunctional team so I guess I'll just try to write stupid things and put a smile on someones face.
Woodrow said:

FR inconsistency.
I've noticed that Weber follows his team up and down the court along with the jayhawk's eyes
Bruce yells at his team to change what they're doing when they're coming back?
Hey, that one didn't even bank! Go Marcus!
Garrett with the old school set shot
K St looks like crap since the timeout. Nice work Bruce.
Honestly, I think Garret was trying to bank that corner three
How'd you like to grow up with the name mcgurl?
Huge shot by Stokes
Oooo B I B I Devon Dotson!
Poor Bruce. Must be hard to play with your 3 best players on the bench.
Wait, that's us.
Have to get a better shot than that Dotson
That's what Bill said.
Can't believe we just backed off of Snead when he was in trouble. Well, all in all have to be happy with a 7 pt. halftime lead. Their guys sat out, but we couldn't hit the open 3.
Good half defensively, we just have to stop giving teams wide open 3s repeatedly.
2 more shot attempts, 9 more FTs, 5 more rebounds, fewer TOs - seems like that would translate to more than a 7 point lead. KSU can't feel that bad with Wade and Mawein on the bench most of the half....
All in all, a good half. Bring it in 2nd half!
U p 7...guess we'll take that
@tundrahok stupid bill
One blown Zion Nike = -(one "crazy" women Nike commercial)
ShoeKarma
The first 5 minutes we have to step on their throat. Let's get Ochai some of these open 3s.
You take a dollar out of the till, you eat a banana. Its simple math. There's always money in the banana stand.
Seth Greenberg giving us some love, imagine that. Credit to our defense.
Only 2 points in the paint for KSU (that dunk) on one bad defensive play from Mitch, but otherwise he has totally shut them down.
Gotta get Ochai and Dotson going from three in the second half. And one of those two guys needs to drive to the hole
Mitchell cares.
Mitchell understands.
KU only had 2 fouls that half. You know that is going to change. Need to come out and not let them get it tied it take the lead. Stretch it to double figures before the under 16 timeout.
Mitch was great
Man I'm dripping with sweat lol intense game. Come guys let's go!!
My wife called it. She said Bruce Weber will be so geeked to win this one he's gonna f it up.
We look good. Keep it up, guys...
I just saw my old KU roommate in the stands, behind Bilas. I feel important.
4 blocks for Mitch!
No, Bruce doesn't call timeouts when he should.
5 blocks for MItch!
Why have they had two split screen shots of Weber and none of his idol Bill Self?
Dumbass coach
So uh. About that Mitch kid.
My goodness Mitch!
Ref just heard a bunch of dolphin sounds from Weber as they cut away
Sheep quiet
This is great

Sorry for cussing
Let's go foot on throat, run them out of this building damn it!
I've noticed that when Fran isn't doing the game the board is 100% happier.
kjayhawks said:

Yes. Gotta keep it going!
🤣🤣🤣
ha there we go, it wasnt rendering for a minute :)
No hook for MItchell!
Damn that was a dunk if Mitch catches it
I wouldn't expect to get a pass from Dedric tbh
Grimes, catch, pivot shoot.. SPLASH? WTF? AWESOME!
Long 3 from Grimes
so he can receive a pass from the right side and hit the shot. Maybe.... he should set up on the left side of the court instead eh
Mitch is in his head now
Damn it. Bad shot Dedric.
wow... two landlocked nations battling it out in the paint.
Woodrow said:
Damn it. Bad shot Dedric.
Then they hit two 3’s. Dedric has to be more patient.
I heard one of the silo tech players looked up at the sign while Bill was drawing up the inbound play and said coach, what does it mean "beware of the Phog"?
Dean Wade swats Dedric with authority.
@approxinfinity pretty move though by Dedric!
I literally have nothing tonight except making stupid comments.
Can we please guard the 3s just for a few minutes guys please!!!
wissox said:

lol, I was trying hard to make sense of that last one :)
Been a long time since we've had a Duke update.
Ive been steadily ramping up the peppers i cook into the thai food for my kids. they're up to 3 peppers today and ate all their food.
I sometimes get so stressed out during these games that I forget they're just games, and if they win or lose, I still have to get up and go teach those lovely little rugrats tomorrow. Might as well have some fun.
Yes! Way to keep it alive Dedric
@approxinfinity I did that with habaneros in my chili to see what my wife would put up with. I gave up before she did.
Wow, they are letting us get away with a lot of contact.
Dave is wild I dont understand
Of course they find a Duke player in the crowd......
isnt that a self pass?
McGurl has pretty hair.
I mean its either a foul or self pass, it wasnt blocked.
McGuirl looks like a girl
Spin and tomahawk foul
Sweet turnaround J. Lawson is filling up the statsheet.
I don't know how many spin moves Dedric has, but I know we've seen a couple new ones tonight
That McGuirl and one was major ugh, but a nice shot on the other end by Dedric.
wissox said:

My feed is behind. I was trying to figure out who J Lawson was KJ Dedrick or a brother. lol. Reading comprehension...
I want to apologize for going to the Wisconsin game Saturday night when you were all faithfully enduring an awful beatdown.
run the O
Foul. Foul. Foulfoulfoul. Foul.
there you go
That's how you finish Dedric.
Nice pass Q. Great finish Dedric.
Uhoh. Wild line-up time.
Give D a two minute breather and send him back out there
How do you get rebounds?
BShark said:
Uhoh. Wild line-up time.
This lineup makes me very nervous
Well I believed, Mitch.
Charles!
This lineup is awful
This is a "watch this Bruce, you're my B" lineup.
It's working awfully well though
stop jacking threes and drive
Mitch looks tired.
manhattan tech may still win this league, but we'll make it tougher on them.
DanR said:

This is a "your kids will play down to crappy competition right about now so let me roll out crappy competition" lineup. 400 level psych.

But for real it might be time to get the good offensive players back in the game.
Send a fresh Ochai out there to finish them off, Bill.
Chuck😳
Come boys let's finish
Our team specializes in revenge.
It amazes me how Q can look so confident on some shots and then throw up a uncontested airball on another. I don’t remember a player having swings like that in one game.
Moore did something good!!!
DanR said:

He should be fresh seeing as he’s been invisible all game
Woodrow said:

Yeah he is very hot and cold. He's been engaged tonight though, that's all I really ask for with him at this point.
He’s playing hard though, good d
Crimsonorblue22 said:

EXACTLY
Moore got lucky, see that tricky pass😳
I don't feel bad if we get a shot clock violation if we miss the shot anyway. Shrug
Ok, I'm ready for Mitch, Big Dave, Dotson, Marcus and Q to finish the game.
Just found this acct.

Self is playing with fire with this lineup
Nick in the house
Hey look its Jim from The Office! I mean Nick Collison.
LOL SNEED
Woodrow said:

Agree.
Dotson, Grimes, Agbaji, Mitch, Dedric is what I'd roll with.
Maybe Garrett over Agbaji idk.
Dumb foul Wade.
don't waste possessions guys
Yikes
To lighten the mood.
Wuss academy awards were last pm
I hope they don't review Lawson's elbow to DWade there.
Not the time to go Dedric one on one for the rest of the game, IMO. Move it around.
wissox said:

Yeah that looked pretty bad.
Come guys, why are we in a hurry, slow it down and make them guard for 25 before throwing up trash.
Channel your inner JoJo
Our starters have been whistled for 2 fouls tonight.
Wade out.
See ya, WadeO
Ok, that looked coach told Dedric to play some @$*^@#ing defense. You're soft Dedric!
Goodnight Deany boy
world record bounce pass height wise
The ball finds Mitch.
Wade the wheat!
Good game from Q
Marcus took Vicks shorts... and then threw them in the drier.
kjayhawks said:
Good game from Q
I appreciate the aggressive drives, even if they dont go in. Punch THROUGH the board, Q-son!
I'm calling this one. Start the bus Bruce, start the bus clap clap, Start the bus Bruce Start the bus clap clap
Devon Dotson straps his boots on defense.
Air ball Barry
This would have been the result without Lagerald in Manhattan, maybe -5 points.
I think it's nice that Wade and Brown get to hear the chant one last time after sub par performances again.
We do suck from the line. Might be a problem.
GRIMES EFFFFFORT
Wow guys! Going to Baylor game too😳 possible?😍
@Crimsonorblue22 you got it
Big time salute to Dotson tonight on the D he played on Brown. He completely shut him down and took him out of the game. Big time effort from Devon.
Woodrow said:

Warrior
Well all in all, not bad! We were able to roll some real stinker lineups out, brick a bunch of FTs and still win by 13. The defense was good, Mitch was GREAT, Q showed effort and the rest of the team was pretty solid.
K State though, D minus.
Bill Self does not lose on Mondays
Bill is jacked. He wanted this one.
I'm going to start betting on KU on mondays
Also, the scotch of choice has been noted and will be reserved for future big games.
Suck on that Barry Brown
Barry wants poy big 12🤣

Sure nice not to get swept by anyone this year especially the team we played tonight.
Hey - - -There has been a sighting - - of Quentin Grimes - -with a HUGE SMILE - -good for you Quentin - -good job. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Mitch - -whatcha going to say like 9 points - - -3-4 blocks - - - - 6 rebounds -a Charge - - -& Energy - - Energy - - -Energy - -True KU thru and Thru. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
See this is how we should Bring it - -EVERY time out. - -our defense tonight was PRETY dam good. - So it just goes to show when they are engaged there is no reason they can't bring it like this. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
They only credited Mitch with 3 blocks! He had 3 in one trip! I will write in his name for next governors election.
numbers tell it all for our defense. - - KSU - - -32 % fg % - - - - -24% in the 2nd half -- KU 42-30 - -rebounding advantage - - -K-State 8-20 - -3 pt % - -we had 6 blocks for the game - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hard to complain about much, tough outing for Ochai. I like that Bill made the adjustment to switch everything in the second half, which was big in not giving them wide open looks. I was ticked early because we gave them that as we did Saturday. I hate to complain on Dedric to much, guy was a monster on the glass tonight but man 18 points from 20 shots. I liked aggressive Q aswell.
@kjayhawks u need to apologize to our coach😫🌾❤️💙

Dedric is always gonna take shots so nothing new there. The percentage was bad tonight for sure though. Got blocked a lot.
As for the D, I loved the gameplan tonight. KSU doesn't have blazing speed so play them tight.
Lawson gonna shoot, chuck, that pass🤣
@Crimsonorblue22 abouslutely not, that wasn't the right game plan IMO after they lit us up in the first game and Tech did Saturday. He said in pregame, they wouldn't switch and I told my wife KSU was gonna get open 3s and they did. KSU isn't a great driving team outside of Brown.
@kjayhawks I knew you wouldn’t! Beating that hammer
Oh and the foul differential tonight was 9 in favor of KU. In Manhattan it was 8 in favor of KSU. Tale as old as time.
I will be a big Baylor fan Saturday lol I don't honestly care if we win the conference just as long as the Wildcats dont.
@Crimsonorblue22 what would you all do without my stubborn ass lol
God I loved Grimes getting on the floor late like that!!! Game was already over.
Bruce of course always has a bag of excuses. Mentioned Wade playing hurt.

Ran the numbers for the season on fouls. Even in conference home/away difference. Will be interesting to see if our Neutral foul advantage holds up in a few weeks
Non-Con Away/Neutral:
Away- KU +20 fouls called against them
Neutral- Opponent +11 called against them
Conference Away/Home
Away- KU +20 fouls called against them
Home- Opponent +20 fouls called against them
...So we get the Allen Fieldhouse treatment on the road and can’t handle it this year? Nah, I don’t think that’s it, freshmen are easy to rattle. See Grimes.
I believe it was Roy who said something along the lines of, “The best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores.”
@BeddieKU23 KU def hasn't had a friendly whistle for much of the year.
Charlie Moore shot a 100% from 3 last night!!!!haha
@approxinfinity And DD slapped the crap out of BB all game long. Barry Brown, you have been "LOCKED DOWN".

kind of what I was thinking too buddy - - BUT not the way some are looking at it on the KSU board - - - " SURPRISE LMAO " - -one said as much - -Barry drove past Devon a lot and got to the hole - -got hacked - -nothing called -so he quit driving lmao. - -I kind of have a different take on it. - -Barry drove to the hole kept getting it slapped back in his face - -got tired of having Spalding emprinted on his forehead - -So he quit driving lmao
The defensive game plan to switch all positions is what won this game. Made K-ST stagnant on offense in a bad way and forced bad shots. Normally K-St moves the ball well and KU completely neutralized their attack.
Barry brown is a baby, d dot a man! Dot gets creamed and makes the shot! Plus........ doesn't dunk after the buzzer and make an azz out of himself! While that sheep(screaming KSU fan) beside me, was doing her thing, I made a comment loudly that it sure was nice that our fans didn't chant nasty words? And you guys thought I was nice!😇🥰🤩

Al McGuire gets credit for that one. A lot of truth to it, for most of them. It's why I rarely get upset with young players - until they get older and wiser, and should know better.
