Really would love to see Baylol taken down again.

Mar 09, 2019 06:58 PM #2

What an oddly sized Baylor team ... bunch of 6-3 guys and a 6-7.
Not typical for the usual long, lean pogo stick team.

Indeed. Would not have guessed that. Usually they have some guys near 7'.

Mitch time.

Mar 09, 2019 07:07 PM #6

This is hard to watch

Mar 09, 2019 07:08 PM #7

You know what our issue is on offense? Nobody looks for their own shot

Mar 09, 2019 07:09 PM #8

Bad call refs

Yeah that was a charge.

Mar 09, 2019 07:10 PM #11

Q was fouled on that three. Thankfully it went in anyway.

Mar 09, 2019 07:11 PM #12

Why can't we make the easy ones.. butler on his way to career day

Mar 09, 2019 07:16 PM #13

Good effort

Mar 09, 2019 07:17 PM #14

Mitch and DLaw have missed a couple of inside pass opportunities

Mar 09, 2019 07:18 PM #15

Love the title of this thread. What is third place?

Mar 09, 2019 07:18 PM #16

Refs suck again

Mar 09, 2019 07:18 PM #17

Yep

Mar 09, 2019 07:18 PM #18

Mitch took that charge too

KU in the big 12. Baylor would tie KU in league with a win today but their seeding for the big 12 tourney is locked in at 4.

Mar 09, 2019 07:22 PM #20

Baylor has 0 assists so far.

Mar 09, 2019 07:23 PM #21

I heard 3

Mar 09, 2019 07:23 PM #22

David looks solid.

Mar 09, 2019 07:23 PM #23

3 seed

Mar 09, 2019 07:24 PM #24

KU is the 3 Baylor is the 4.

Imagine playing Chuck, KJ and Garrett at the same time. :beers:

Baylor 0-8 from 3. Lucky KU.

Mar 09, 2019 07:27 PM #30

Mind boggling watching this team

Mar 09, 2019 07:28 PM #31

Ref just guessing

Mar 09, 2019 07:28 PM #32

That was off Baylol

Mar 09, 2019 07:29 PM #33

That wasn't anywhere near the rim.

Mar 09, 2019 07:31 PM #34

DAVID WORKIN

Mar 09, 2019 07:31 PM #35

What were they lookin at? Grimes walked

Mar 09, 2019 07:31 PM #36

After that

Mar 09, 2019 07:34 PM #37

Dave's going to be good.

I don't know. I think KU has earned a few games of other teams being off from 3.

Mar 09, 2019 07:35 PM #40

Gotta give Scotty some credit for getting 4th with this roster.

Mar 09, 2019 07:35 PM #41

As I say it Self bends Drew over. LOL

Imagine thinking he might be drafted after this year. He's a solid player but he's still a FR and not a top top guy. Will be glad to have him next year.

Mar 09, 2019 07:40 PM #48

Big play Garrett on both

Mar 09, 2019 07:41 PM #49

Garrett 3's are bonus points.

Mar 09, 2019 07:41 PM #50

@BShark

I would think so too but the NBA has drafted off less before... So I could see after his JR year perhaps.

Dotson, Agbaji, Grimes could be one of the best back courts in the country.

Mar 09, 2019 07:45 PM #58

Dedric is playing like ass today

Mar 09, 2019 07:45 PM #59

What bigs do we have for sure next season?

David and Mitch.

Some croots.

In the miracle situation Silvio is involved.

Dedric and Doke both gone imo.

Mar 09, 2019 07:47 PM #65

Jesus Dedric...

Mar 09, 2019 07:48 PM #66

We'd be up 30 if Dedric could hit a Good gosh darn thing.

Mar 09, 2019 07:49 PM #67

DAVID

Mar 09, 2019 07:49 PM #68

Are we likely to get any big recruits?

Mar 09, 2019 07:50 PM #69

David will be a better player than Dedric by this time next year.

Mar 09, 2019 07:51 PM #70

When you want a quick shot at the buzzer, I trust Charlie to take that shot

Mar 09, 2019 07:51 PM #71

Dedric can't hit anything. Geez.

Mar 09, 2019 07:51 PM #72

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Hurt is going to Duke.

As for Doke btw Self made some comments recently that basically said he's out and Dedric his dad is looking at agents so I just can't see either of them coming back.

Or at least to get a shot off, lol!

Mar 09, 2019 07:52 PM #76

Not feeling good that Baylor struggled with good looks and we are only up by 3. Those misses tend to even out over the course of a game.

Mar 09, 2019 07:52 PM #77

@BShark Bummer.

I'm sure Self will add a couple guys. Now, whether they are real guys or not idk.

Mar 09, 2019 07:54 PM #79

@Hawk8086 we missed several open bunnies with Dedric, they are lucky it's not a minimum of 15 points.

Mar 09, 2019 07:55 PM #80

@kjayhawks 9-22 from 2 pt range for KU...

Mar 09, 2019 07:56 PM #81

I like how Dave is starting to show some signs - playing better. - All about progress and staying positive , by his third year /Junior year he gonna be really solid for us. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mar 09, 2019 07:57 PM #82

I'm picking Kentucky and Tennessee to lose early in the tournament this season. They don't seem much better than Tech, KState, Iowa St, or Kansas to me.

Mar 09, 2019 07:58 PM #83

David and Grimes are two huge keys to how we go in the tournament and Dedric hitting easy shots.

Mar 09, 2019 07:58 PM #84

@kjayhawks Yes. We didn't take advantage of their misses. That could come back to haunt us in the 2nd half if they get even a little hot from 3.

Mar 09, 2019 08:00 PM #85

Well we are getting some WIDE open shots in the middle of that Zone - -I counted twice for sure , wide open shots underneath the free throw line where the guys didn't even look to take the shot - -just kicked it right back out , not even taking a look. - -Once was KJ and once was Dedric - -DIDN'T EVEN LOOK. - -Once Dedric had Mitch WIDE open underneath and just flat ass out missed him - got to think. - - Ochaji - is struggling for sure - lost confidence in his shot - -we need him bad -Quentin hit his three and then nothing after - man . - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mar 09, 2019 08:05 PM #86

@jayballer73 Good point. I saw that too. Wide open in the middle. Didn't even look at the basket. That has been one of the ways we have successfully attacked that Baylor zone in the past...get that open shot in the middle.

Mar 09, 2019 08:09 PM #87

Dave

Mar 09, 2019 08:11 PM #88

If Dedric starts hitting shots that my mom can make then Baylor is in trouble.

Mar 09, 2019 08:12 PM #92

@Hawk8086 I was really surprised he was able to recover from the perimeter in time. He looks really good today.

Mar 09, 2019 08:12 PM #93

Dave reminds you of... Simien?

Mar 09, 2019 08:16 PM #94

Game is a slugfest now.

Vital traveled on that too I think lol

Mar 09, 2019 08:19 PM #100

Wow Fran is really anti-KU at this point.

Mar 09, 2019 08:20 PM #101

The team was doing well and then they have a stretch where they look like they have never played basketball before. Wild.

Mar 09, 2019 08:20 PM #102

F*** off Fran, ghost foul for KU....2 minutes later a ghost foul for Baylor- great call!

Mar 09, 2019 08:23 PM #103

wow

Mar 09, 2019 08:23 PM #104

Octagon of Doom is the dumbest nickname for a venue.

Mar 09, 2019 08:24 PM #106

Good lorrrrrrrrrrrd

Mar 09, 2019 08:24 PM #107

To Fran that's just a play-on. If it were KU he would be lobbying for jail time.

Lol at the review taking this long. SAD.

Mar 09, 2019 08:26 PM #110

Whenever we get hit in head, an ESPN announcer informs us it was a basketball play with no intent.

Mar 09, 2019 08:27 PM #111

Well in the end they got it right. There were about 4-5 fouls by Baylol in that sequence so Drew can bite me.

Mar 09, 2019 08:27 PM #112

U got Fran?😫

Mar 09, 2019 08:27 PM #113

Jump ball

Mar 09, 2019 08:34 PM #125

Okay refs. So in the exact same situation with Mitch it's a jump ball, but when Baylol is on offense it's a foul on KU? Woof.

Mar 09, 2019 08:34 PM #126

Joe DeRosa is seriously a hack. He needs to go home.

Mar 09, 2019 08:35 PM #127

How is that reviewable? WTF

Mar 09, 2019 08:35 PM #128

This is a tragedy. Should have been a jump ball.

Mar 09, 2019 08:36 PM #129

Dedric is camped at the line this half. Love it.

Mar 09, 2019 08:36 PM #130

DeRosa just wants to make the game about himself. Sad.

Mar 09, 2019 08:37 PM #131

He's allowed to do that since he's not a KU player. That's what he meant.

@KirkIsMyHinrich That's pretty funny.

Mar 09, 2019 08:54 PM #153

I think Lightfoot wants to punch DeRosa even more than any of us do.

Mar 09, 2019 09:06 PM #158

I'm happy for Tech to win it this season, because they could have last season if not for injuries.

Just want KState to lose so badly, though.

Mar 09, 2019 09:07 PM #159

Oh great another review

Mar 09, 2019 09:08 PM #160

That actually is a foul, though. He pushed him.

Mar 09, 2019 09:08 PM #161

I hate Fran

Mar 09, 2019 09:10 PM #162

Baylor's thrown up 30 3's today and still gotten to the line 24 times. I don't want to hear about it.

Mar 09, 2019 09:11 PM #163

Yet all the folks at ESPN don't have balls to question the officials in Cameron when its 40 fts to 10.

Mar 09, 2019 09:11 PM #164

@kjayhawks It's less to do with balls and more to do with $$$$

Mar 09, 2019 09:12 PM #165

I think Dotson just got fouled about 4 times there but okay.

Mar 09, 2019 09:13 PM #166

Mar 09, 2019 09:16 PM #168

@Crimsonorblue22 There was one on TV as well. I thought it was well done.

Mar 09, 2019 11:56 PM #177

For the Fran haters: I thought he was great today.
I rarely take issue with him, but i understand he can sound KU cranky sometimes.

As for the game, i like the way Big Dave is coming along. Still a giant, frenzied goofball, but he's making progress.

Mar 10, 2019 12:22 AM #178

I don't have a bias problem with Fran. I just think he's not a great Color guy. He's not entertaining.

Mar 10, 2019 12:35 AM #179

@Kcmatt7 that's an accurate description of Fran, huh. he's not very entertaining. He does have a good grasp of Xs and Os and whatnot though.

Mar 10, 2019 12:51 AM #180

@jayhawkcsg by saying Fran was great, you discredited yourself from future topics lol. He spent literally 3/4 of the game bashing every call against Baylor.

Mar 10, 2019 01:07 AM #181

Call me crazy, but I don't think Fran is biased against KU.

@Hawk8086 I didnt think he was too bad before today, like I said nearly every call against Baylor was bogus according to him. I'm personally done with I will mute every game that dipshit calls of ours from here forward. As I also said Dook averages more than 20 more fts per game at home than opponents, yet no one questions it....ever. If we get one call it's on ESPN home page like we've never had a bad call go against us. This is why I completely stopped watching ESPN besides our games.

@kjayhawks I did snooze off during the 2nd half...maybe i missed some Fran bias.
But if you're looking for it, you'll find it in any announcer.

@jayhawkcsg I agree he was just terrible during the second, worse than hes ever been by a lot.
