Weird audio

Sure 8 points from 1 guy

That last three was such trash

They literally foul on every play

The last 2 shots were.

Tear them up, Dave

Foul

No blood no foul

At least they came to play

Foul

Last two times and not called.

BeddieKU23 said:

Sure seems that way...

Dave's mom is here for the first time this yr

WOW..BIG DAVE COMES ALIVE>>>.

Big Dave looking good so far.

Must be playing into his play

Dave is good, but he's a freshman. People seem surprised that he's getting better.

@BeddieKU23 she went to Stillwater????

The thread on rule changes should be be consistent on the body checks. Could've called 3 fouls on Ochai's drive alone. Not a ton energy in the building, lets get some mo going here.

@kjayhawks Ochai definitely got fouled. Dedric needs to finish that putback too.

@DanR

I dont think so, just the first game shes been able to attend

That Number 5 kid on our team is playing well

put marcus on the pasty gangsta...

Foul foul foul

Team is playing well, that miss by Dotson is a good look.

BShark said:

Grimes baby

BShark said:

Great pass by Dave. Just missed the shot.

That's a travel?

Probably making up for the shaky charge call.

I guess everything they make will be the bullshit luck

Kj has to make them

KJ had 2 good looks there, Grimes is looking good again today so far.

Keep Garrett on waters... no switch

Sad to see how crappy of a venue this place is now, it was a helleva place in the late 90s/ early 00s.

And don't let waters ever get the ball

@kjayhawks are you at the game?

Grimes...better. That drive was what we expect out of him.

@DanR No just watching, thought about it. Bout the same distance to Lawrence from me and tickets were only $25.

@kjayhawks some decent seats empty 😀

Travel

Waters wins the stupid tatt contest

Jesus

yikes

Not a foul wow

Lord of bricks lately

vomit

If we're going to miss the bunnies we might as well shoot threes too

Imploding

Getting run out of the gym by the worst team in the league

No shooters in

It's a yearly thing

I feel like they aren't calling anything underneath our hoop. Better wake the heck up.

Their 5th 3 of the game.

I mean make a open shot how hard is it

@BShark we don't have shooters? Or we don't have to rest our shooters?

@BeddieKU23 Grimes 3-4, rest of team 2-13...

6 fouls on one play

Lil push off, Dedric get stronger!💪🏻

Dedric being his weak old self

Thus. We'll take it!

This team might've missed the tournament without Bill.

Lol they make everything

@DanR who made that?

Dedric was hammered after he made it lol

@Crimsonorblue22 #5

A little quick on the trigger Q, nice to see Dedric has made the trip lol.

Oklahoma St is making a lot of tough jumpshots. I don't think they can sustain it.

@KirkIsMyHinrich And we are missing some good looks.

Theory: Bill is contractually obligated to lose in Stillwater.

@BShark

Every ku player is hammered after every play. Dotson was thrown to the floor before that steal

@BeddieKU23 Ya that was a moving screen.

So many guarded and janky threes and 4/8 on midrange shots as well. I can live with it they will start to miss especially later in the game when they get tired due to their short rotation.

What was wrong with ochai

Uhhhh Dedric

Do we not bring our brains with us when we go on the road?

How?????

Set your feet

Lol wow wide 3 and 3 bunnies

Seriously 3 missed layups

good grief! Shooting percentage took a dive on that fast break

What a mess

Once upon a time, KU was known for its fast breaks....

Now Dotson has to sit the rest of the half

lol at that garbage make

Chuck

Cant buy anyrhing

Why is Dedric so bad at making put-back shots?

nice NBA D there Chuck

Waters traveled big than shit there

Wow mitch made one

F u jones

sure why not

Someone needs to slap each KU player in the face as they walk into the locker room at halftime, then throw buckets of icewater on them.

How is that not a foul

What a joke

Waters needs a foul

midrange trash

Oklahoma st refs doing their job

Mitch pinned that guy with his elbow. Go Mitch!

Wow - its a wonder that we're only down 5. Can't get good looks and we stopped playing defense after the first 5 minutes...

40 fouls more called on KU then opponents on the road

ref took his time blowing the whistle

Whose ball is it? Jump?

@Hawk8086

Timeout

OSU ball

There wasnt another option

If he can keep it with in 5 I think we are ok, they are hitting Micheal Jordan fade aways consistently. I don't see happening all game. If it does, it just wasn't our day but gosh you'd hope back to back saturday's we wouldn't get lit up by a team shooting well above their average.

Oklahoma St is hitting NBA turnaround shots and we can't make open layups.

Also getting a terrible whistle.

Pokes are 54% from the field and 3 point line.

LOL

Doesnt get anymore biased then that

Good god Ochai. Make a short corner 3. Also Dave missing 3 foot shots

we're shooting 36%

Great pass to the fans

Nice pass Dave

Not a foul on Dave.

On his hand

Geez

Just a bunch of brick layers

that's not a foul? He about broke Dave's arm, plus the body slam

DanR said:

Take the homer glasses off

Not a good finish to the half. Block on Dave (although I think he got a lot of hand on that). Missed one and one. Grimes blew the chance to get a shot off. We have missed a lot of open looks.

I can make a sandwich during the time it takes Big Dave to gather himself up and try to dunk it.

A lot of wrist on that block of Dave, I'm ok with getting hand but as @jayballer73 would say Mercy!! They got every call, we have one less foul and they haven't been in the paint all game. I think we are fine just, missed a ton of bunnies, they hit shots outta their asses all half and got every call money could buy and we are just down 5.

Dotson has 2 fouls and sat 7 minutes the first half. His +/- is +3. Everybody else's is negative. We can't really play without him.

@kjayhawks Good point...they made a lot of tough shots.

I think we're fine too. If we just made the layups we'd be up 10.

OSU is 7/14 from three. We're 3/12.

OSU gets the dark end of the court second half

Fingers crossed. Can't lose this one.

I think people who are not fans of Kansas don't realize that this Kansas team as currently constructed is very young. We play 4 freshman, 3 sophomores, and 2 juniors right now. And only 2 of those players (Garrett and Mitch) have played any minutes together before this season.

Not going to win any game shooting 33% from the field and 25% from three.

Where would we be without Grimes? :)

@BShark We had at least 3 wide-open putbacks that if we had made, brings our shooting % up to 42 and puts us up by 1.

@BShark Hopefully law of averages comes into play in the 2nd half. Missed a lot of good looks.

@Hawk8086 Grimes has a double-double! If you count minutes.

No free throw attempts for OSU, that's odd. Especially with these refs.

I love Dave's potential.

Wow. Awful start to second half.

DLaw

Lightfoot needs to be ready to take a pass from DLaw

Dave too

Scary

They're shopping for charges...revoke their card

There's prison Mitch

Easy call, he was set for a year.

QG

Ochai now 1-7

Back in this

Make that 2-8

Glad he has a shooters mindset

And 1

Yeah boys!!!!

Making shots is FUN!

ISU boo birds out?

Nice little run - let's sustain it...

Q has had some very nice passes

Boy...after some really ugly trips down the court to start....the last few have been great...all of a sudden we have a 4 pt lead.

I like the way #5 is playing

Pretty Grimes

awe poor OSU doesn't like it when they don't every call.....Lets go !

This team has generally gone on runs and then let the opposing team answer that run. Need to step up the D and keep the momentum.

OSU fans have a legit complaint. The refs kind of suck.

Quiet double-double already for Dedric...

Waters?

I'll bet they get a few trash fouls on here, anytakers??

If you extrapolated Dedric's stats art halftime he would have 12 points, 16 rebounds, and 6 steals for the game. He missed a few easy put-backs in the first half but he wasn't horrible.

😭 oh

ouch.

OUCH

What was that Devon????

What a play

Whew! Want a pass Q

FT's for OSU

They are not deep. Let's get a 4th on Anei - they will be into their walk-ons...

Huge

Asked and received....

@DCHawker thx!

@DCHawker could I have a tech and KSU loss today?

Another shit 3

Smooth Marcus

Awful defense dedric

OK OSU, time for you to cool off.

Guys play w/a lead!

What part of guard their outside shooting do we not understand?

Dammit guys - just overplay the 3 pt line on McGriff, Jones and Dziagwa. They don't have anyone else who can score the ball...

Crap! UP by 7 and their big guy goes out...they hit a couple of threes and shrink our lead to 3. That was our chance to pull away a little.

@DCHawker Agree. I don't see how we let them get so open.

OSU is shooting insane from distance. We have shot more Fts because we are playing inside. Not gonna get as many FTs just throwing up fade away 3s and long 2s.

OSU over their season average for 3-point makes at the under-12.

@KirkIsMyHinrich #Strategy

Guard him

Dammit Q - weak ass off the screen...

I'm not able to watch the game ATM. Is Q playing well?

Are you KIDDING ME

Shit

SHIT BIASED REFS

You guys are an absolute joke refs

@BeddieKU23 maybe that time...been several

God those were bad possessions. Devon tried to make something that wasn't there.

Dotson been awful all game

Why is Dotson afraid to shoot a three? He's passed up a bunch today.

Dotson has 4 fouls. Gonna have to be careful.

DanR said:

Probably cause he has missed 3

wtf guys. Have the lead, their second leading scorer and only big out and we just piss it away - give them open looks and commit stupid turnovers...

we've been pretty much two on one here lately

So Charlie Moore is coming in. Let that sink in

It is unreal how bad we are in stillwater and Morgantown every season. Doesn’t matter how bad either team is.

@Kcmatt7

Nope can't even beat a team with 6 guys

We must lead the country in charge calls, he was fouled on the drive long before. If we have these freedom of movement rules we need to call them or do away with them. I feel we have been fouled the hell out of on drives all game we should have 40 FTs to their 2.

@Kcmatt7 both of those places are lit by three 60 watt lightbulbs

"These kids know shit"-60 Minutes

Just when you think this team has it rolling they go "nahhhh".

@DanR Ha - although it doesn't seem to affect the Pokes ability to hit from deep...

I think we're still OK... just need OSU to start missing some shots

Chucky nooo

Awesome effort charlie

Chuck just watch the game, u r in the game now!😳

Sure no foul

Dedric, you had mitch open for a dunk

YOU HAVE TO FINISH THAT.

Garrett and Chuck during crunch time lol

@DanR He's fumbled away 2 wide open dunks this game, him and Dedric have to have the weakest hands of any man to ever live!!!

OSU on a 19-7 run...

@BShark Really...Dedric gets blocked by a walk on.

This was expected. Only BIFM had won here in a decade

This team is soft.

BeddieKU23 said:

Literally losing the walk-ons.

I hope the team doesn't throw in the towel. This is far from over.

It looked clean, but Dedric got hit across the face after that block.

Given how important this game is and how depleted they are, the last 5-6 minutes are probably the worst stretch of the season....

Gonna have to get TOUGH fellas, thats how you win on the road. We just walked down the floor and gave up a lay up. They are playing so much harder than we are right now and their player is on the dam bench this ridiculous. KSU won this game by 40 flipping points.

DCHawker said:

Sad to say but it is true. OSU guys want it more.

Game, just missed 3 wide open looks

Just a bunch of brick layers

I don't believe that

Brutal. Make a open shot

Getting lots of offensive rebounds.

Oo

Keep going guys.

Shit

at least it was a two

Fu jones

DLaw fouled twice on that possession

I'll never forget curtis Jones beating us in Maui when he played for Indiana.

D up fellows!

My God have they hit some of the toughest shots in the game basketball and about 15 of them.

Free throws only thing keeping us in the game right now. 14 more points on the FT line - on the road...

@kjayhawks To be honest, they really aren't even getting many good looks. Every shot they take is a tough one. Our D has been mostly decent

This is just that 1% fluke game where they play out of their damn minds.

Cause they r fouling the crap out of us

OSU shooting Kobe-type mid-range shots today but actually doing it efficiently.

@Kcmatt7

They have about 15 recruits here. Some big names. Nothing unexpected

Let's get some stops here.

Crunchy time

Kcmatt7 said:

yeah, for the last 4 of 5 years in a row

No help?

And then dedric does dedric

Dedric on a guard is the biggest mismatch in history

shoot the damn ball, Dotson!

LOL

Bad possession - Devon needed to take that open corner shot...

Grimes on the floor calling for timeout. Sure it's a jump so biased

next team to make two straight threes wins

Lucky?

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, could have been 5 on Devon...

fake fall anyway

Good call

To bad

5 gets #5 on crime dog

Grimes please make these

Was he standing on the circle? That made me nervous

it's damn blocking foul anyway feet in or out

Score

DLaw, you might make that shot if you jumped?

come on guys

Oh no I hope

looked like it slipped out of his hand to me

@Bwag He did jump - he was an inch off the floor...

It's not that hard refs

Mr. weak hands again poopy

Off Dedric

@DCHawker you sure he was actually off the ground? LOL

Clock!

It was off Lawson after he got fouled.

Bill drawing up a play: Get the ball to Dedric at the top of the key.

Well maybe they are now.

PLAY BALL

Foul Anei out now

Bill, you have zero games won by isolating Dedric in the last minutes, OK?

Bwag said:

Foul Anei out now

tried

Of course after they screwed us on the last jump ball

Can't we call time out before they tie us up?

Dedric needs to finish that. I was worried that last tie up when we could have gotten control of the ball would hurt us...now they have another chance.

Yess

Gonna have to make both FTs - and they would still only be down 3

Good D, #5!

Great d Q

Good D

Dot you have to go get the ball that's soft

Come on boys

Definitely should foul them after this its one and one. No brainer

Steal the ball instead of fouling. That's my strategy.

Lol

OOOOOOPS. that worked.

Ochai faked him out

WTF - Ochai - got effing lucky there....

That was close

Wow. Ochai. Got lucky.

Game

Agbaji is lucky as hell right now!

Finally they ran out of luck!

How do you leave Waters? Dear lord

A win in Stillwater is still a win, thanks Waters.

Road win & over came Self's almamateritis

So we won. One question....What was Ochai doing??

Hawk8086 said:

mis-direction

We'll take it!

We suck on the road this season and we usually suck at GIA so I'll take it.

Seth, hard to say something nice!

Outside of a few stretches, wasn't thrilled with our offense sets

Go Baylor!!

Ochai lost his mind I can't believe Waters missed.

I've called "game" the last 3 wins lol hopefully it keeps working

... and the win.

Grimes looked like a Div 1 player today. So did Dave. There IS hope.

Ochai pulled a Josh Jackson vs KSU, forgot to switch and gave a guy a wide open look. They should've missed tho with all the trash they hit today. OSU played their best 2 games this season, this week.

Also, Go TCU!

Last road game of the season at Oklahoma on Tuesday. We are undefeated playing neutral-site games or games in Lawrence.

We are all Purple lil frogs tonite.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Maybe we could move the game to OKC...

BShark said:

This team might've missed the tournament without Bill.

KU? 😂

20-23 from the line. Best performance at the stripe all yr

Grimes deserves a ton of credit, he has been solid the last 2 and I'm proud of him.

LJWorld says OSU didn’t score in last 4:02. Couldn’t watch the game, so was KU’s defense the answer? Or?

Whew! I’ll be honest, I didn’t see that win coming.
Don’t care how we did it, I’ll take it.

— Dotson got a coulple raw calls today

— Mitch was clumsy today. Missed some lobs.

— unbelievable (or not) how teams just pile on us from the 3 pt line. Does Self need to re-evaluate his defensive philosophy next year?

— that being said, OSU was just draining shots out their asses today. The majority of their makes were tough shots.

— Grimes came through with a few 3s (but still a wimp near the goal).

— Lawson made some iffy fastball passes.

— Dotson really can get into the lane.

—

@Gorilla72 I would have to watch the last 4 again. I would say probably the law of averages as they made some really tough shots throughout the game.

@Gorilla72 the defense was solid most of the game IMO. We rebounded well, as I said earlier in this thread, OSU hit some tough tough shots and not 1 or 2 like 15.

The 2 most shocking stats of the game to me are: Mitch had 1 rebound (7 points) and Chuck didnt take a shot in 8 minutes.

Hawk8086 said:

@Gorilla72 I would have to watch the last 4 again. I would say probably the law of averages as they made some really tough shots throughout the game.

It was a mix to be sure. KU defended pretty well but of course Waters missed a wide open look.

In general KU's defense was pretty okay today. OSU hit a lot of guarded shots, step back midrange etc...

@BShark I have to admit..when Jones hit that fadeaway in the lane as time expired I was thinking that it just wasn't our day and we were doomed. Things turned around right after that though...fortunately.

My grades for the game

Dedric: A solid A. Sure he got blocked a couple times but that is to be expected and overall a really good game for him. 20/15 on 45% shooting and lived at the line with a 9-9 performance there.

Dave: C. Good energy but 1-4 from the floor.

Agbaji: B-. 3-8 from 3 with 5 boards, 2 assists a block and no turnovers. Solid play overall but 0-2 from 2 and almost blew the game.

Grimes: A. His best game of the year perhaps? 50% from 2 and 4-7 from 3. Engaged on both ends. Grabbed rebounds, had some really nice passes and tried defensively.

Dotson: D. Thought about an F here. 2-10 from the floor, more turnovers than assists. Saddled with foul trouble as well but still played tough D.

Mitch: B. Hard to ask for more out of Mitch.

Chuck: C. Didn't take a shot!

KJ: C. Didn't do much either way.

Garrett: B. Good effort out of him, though no doubt he hurt the offense.

@BShark Dotson's individual stats weren't great, but his +/- was +16, high for the team. I just don't think the team runs well without him.

KUSTEVE said:

We are all Purple lil frogs tonite.

And Green and gold Bears as well

@BShark Grimes looked better than he ever has today.

I'm in 4 feet of snow in northern wisconsin so I wasn't able to watch or even follow the game. I got back to the house, and didn't look at the score and came right to the game thread. Kind of interesting to try to figure out who won the game. I honestly thought we'd lost the game, but I didn't read through evertything! Nice to pull one out on the road. This one kind of worried me.

@wissox why are u there?❄️ We r in a winter storm watch, not 4 ft?🙏 bad enough though

Every damn year the Pokes=KU kryptonite...but great game and glad KU came out with the W. I don't care how nasty ugly, a WIN.

@truehawk93 hey pokes took tech to ot.

@Crimsonorblue22 Visiting my sister way up north. Tons of snow. It was way too cool to be out in than to sit inside and watch a basketball game, although I would have loved to watch the game.

Looks like we had to make a nice little 2nd half comeback to win this one. Now if we can complete the state of Oklahoma sweep, I just think someone's gonna help us sneak into a tie for the league championship.

@wissox I think the wind chill is suppose to be below zero tmrw! Blowing snowing snow later tonight thru early tmrw. Lows like 2 or 3, sun and mon pm. I'm staying in! I don't think KSU is going to lose?😞

@BShark After the game Grimes admitted he blew the defensive assignment, not Ochai. Grimes called switch and then stayed with his man. Och did the right thing actually. And when you look at the tape, it was really quite remarkable how much he closed back out. By no means did he alter the shot, but he was closer to putting a hand in there than you would think from the live game angle we got. Grimes was a man and took full responsibility. This may be proof that God really is a Jayhawk that that shot did not drop and we are still alive in the race :-).

@wissox Florida is still open. We got more than 4 foot of sunshine today.

-19 tonight here or something like that, but tomorrow we head home to balmy Chicago.
