It was working as one thing last game too, at least for me.

Dave was fouled right? WTF

Nice pass doke!

Suspect refs tonight.

YIKES Ochai...

BShark said:

YIKES Ochai...

He is REALLY struggling

Och isn't going anywhere next year

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Och isn't going anywhere next year

Maybe the bench...

Perfect

CLASSIC FIRST THREE OF THE YEAR

Dotson came to play. The other 4 should take notice

What's the deal w/och?

Like that shit always happens it's unreal.

I just checked...he was 0-2 previously in his ENTIRE CAREER from three.

@BShark Wide-open at the easiest place to shoot a 3-pointer, though. That's probably the most open that guy has been all season. We need to play better defense.

They've had some clankers too

@BShark

Started his career at Ok lite. Obvy he has to play well

I get leaving him open and daring him one time but after he shows he can hit it you have to at least have someone on him.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Needs better BBIQ.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

What's the deal w/och?

I’d say it’s confidence right now. Just seems to be out of rhythm and Forcing it.

HI SILVIO

Wow💥

TRISTAN!!!!

Tristan is a star

It's pretty nice when you can have players like De Sousa, Moss, and Enaruna coming off the bench.

BeddieKU23 said:

Tristan is a star

Two way stud.

Moving screen. Game’s official

Garrett is a dog. Dogs play for Billy Eugene Self.

Silvio in there too

Are we a good defensive team @FarmerJayhawk ???!

Bad call

Moss moving better, more faith in that ham!🐖

Garrett misses a three and causes a Silvio foul. Sigh.

BShark said:

Garrett is a dog. Dogs play for Billy Eugene Self.

Yup even if they clank wide open shots

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Moss moving better, more faith in that ham!🐖

I've liked his defensive movement tonight.

@BShark No reason we shouldn't be elite. If we're not it's your fault.

Moss looks quicker now to find him a shot

That wasn't out on Silvio! Don't argue w/me

BeddieKU23 said:

BShark said:

Garrett is a dog. Dogs play for Billy Eugene Self.

When he is that open.. I just don't know... But if he isn't making them maybe take a few steps in and make a decision from there.

BShark said:

Are we a good defensive team @FarmerJayhawk ???!

ELITE. Bill Self pitching a tent every night elite.

@BShark

I had no problem with the shot since he was so open but the reason he was open was because that's what hes known for doing. Tough as I'm sure he wants to prove he can shoot

ETSU is already in the bonus. Hopefully KU can play without fouling so free throws don’t keep them in it.

These refs tonight are PURE :fa-trash-o:

Dot :fire:

U r ahead of me

BREAKING: Moss missed

Doke's lack of dribbling is pleasing me so far.

FarmerJayhawk said:

BREAKING: Moss missed

Can't prove it wasn't a pass IMO.

Dog crap ref

Terrible pass

BeddieKU23 said:

Dog crap ref

That last call....

what the hell, Ochai??

It went in I guess?

Defense is unreal

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

what the hell, Ochai??

No clue how that went in

BeddieKU23 said:

Defense is unreal

BAH GAWD.

Run the floor🏃🏽‍♂️

This version of Kansas beats Duke by double-digits. I want a rematch.

Ochai with a fast break assist!!!

Good night. That was a great pass

Then promptly blows it

My favorite play

AND MAKES UP FOR THAT

Sucks

Go to hell ref

looked like a good strip, but nice call from behind, ref

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I thought Enaruna fouled him on the first shot-attempt. So I guess that's fair.

Karma

Sweet

Beautiful marcus

Hello Marcus

FarmerJayhawk said:

Karma

!alt text ↗

So at the under 8 timeout, ETSU is tied with Dotson at 13 points.....

I like this Tristan fellow. Stoic, gets down to business. Freak athlete. Seems like a smart player. Arms 36 inches longer than most people his height.

Dave wyd

Slop portion of the game with Dot out and a weird line-up.

@DanR seems like a sponge too

Seemed like an offensive foul by the 7 footer on that o board but what do I know.

Garbage

I gotta get used to the idea that Mitch is gone for the season.

Little farther out on that hook, for Doke. !!

If Doke gets that jump-hook down it's over. That looked good.

Doke looks smooth

That ETSU guard just carried the hell out of the ball, jeez.

Good D

garrett got hacked at least twice on that possession (on D)

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

That ETSU guard just carried the hell out of the ball, jeez.

Pretty obvious tonight that the refs have money on ETSU covering.

Jeez that was sloppy but the d really toughed out that possession we havent had that in many yrs

Let ETSU hack. We need the practice for Michigan State.

@DanR And Nova.

Nova looked awful against ohs

I'm surprised self hasn't sat Doke for repeatedly not going hard on plays. Losing the hustle plays tonight

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, but they will hack.

Been a bit rough since 31-13. Part line-ups initially, part sluggish offense and part refs.

Moss doesn't pass well

Some of these entry passes, yikes.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Some of these entry passes, yikes.

Bring back Brady.

Wooof Moss

Ball sticking in half court.

Doke called for that lob, nice.

Garrett is so good on D

@Woodrow which leads to O

Okay ref

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Moss doesn't pass well

On the offensive end, he's basically Lagerald Vick. He's a little bit better of a ball handler, but pretty much a Vick clone on that end.

FarmerJayhawk said:

Ball sticking in half court.

Yep. This team definitely still needs time in the oven.

To soon to judge moss

Iowa apparently does not teach their players how to feed the post.

ocean is more like a pond for Moss tonight

That was a good look for Moss, I'm fine with that miss.

Oh and good news ETSU fouled. Bad news Doke at the line..

Dutch Dime to Doke

Dang doke no travel anymore

TRISTAN MY MAN

Doke hammer time

Tough shot. I'll take +12 at half.

Reporter: Shooting 60% WHAT'S WRONG?

DanR said:

Reporter: Shooting 60% WHAT'S WRONG?

Self: "Well, Grimes plays for Houston now, so."

A little slow on defensive rotation, need to start hitting some of those 3s. Sharpen that up and we good for a 25+ point win.

I’m with Self. Pleased with the half but we’ve been soft in parts.

His name doesn't roll off my tongue, but I really like what I see from Enaruna.

KState is tied with Arkansas-Pine Bluff at half-time. Arkansas-Pine Bluff is 0-3 on the season.

The first 4 minutes of this half are important since it didnt end with any momentum

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

3rd time this yr they stunk at half but then wake up

@BeddieKU23 UAPB is really really bad though. Zags beat them by 50. The Grand Canyon Antelopes beat them by 13.

@KirkIsMyHinrich yeah ksuck. I had it w/their fans. Some day we r going to beat them in fb.

I remember Roy losing to ETSU in the NCAA back in the early 90s. Bad memory.

Bambi wyd

Want to see more Silvio this half.

Gotta make that one Och

FarmerJayhawk said:

Strong agree

Agbaji is awful tonight.

one for 11. Argh.

Pretty bad effort out therr

jhawk7782 said:

Agbaji is awful tonight.

He’s been pretty bad all year really

I'm OK with moss on the line

Big play by moss

@DanR just ok?🤣

100% for Moss from freebie land

Defense has been trash most of the night.

@Woodrow Agree.

Dokes a scrapping

At some point when a player has jumped over dokes head to reach in it's a foul

Yeah if he's sitting on u to tie it up......

It only feels like we've missed about 5 threes instead of 10, to be honest.

Hopefully Garrett is fine. Do not need another ankle injury to him

Anybody see what happened?

Thx!

@KirkIsMyHinrich Arky Pine-Bluff Kenpom #341 and two players out hurt...

Garretts ankles are like little 2B pencils.

As good as a turnover

Good thing is Doke clanks free throws bad enough, we should be able to get a rebound 25% of the time. Evens out.

More joke ref stuff

The hell is Och doing?

Moss💥

Niiiice Moss

Big bucket

The long hands of Enaruma on D.

BShark said:

The hell is Och doing?

Buying himself 2 more yrs here

BeddieKU23 said:

BShark said:

YES!

Getting out rebounded 24/17.

Ochai Agbadji

Tristan Enaruna is a future superstar.

Ochai seems like he needs self toughening box

@BeddieKU23 I think self is trying to get him out of his slump

We start a run right here 👌

Good thing doke came back, looks athletic

Tristan vs. Oubre at this point in the season ... ?

Seems like this new kid gets it.

Answered ?

I thought @BShark had a good comp for Enaruna - Tayshaun Prince.

I was thinking Durant.

Value the ball

Tristan maybe a OAD if he progresses, could have the highest ceiling of anyone on this team.

approxinfinity said:

Bruhhhhh

Set two screens on that last possession. Durant didn't do that

@BShark lul

kjayhawks said:

Tristan maybe a OAD if he progresses, could have the highest ceiling of anyone on this team.

Please no

Braun can never do that for me again.

@kjayhawks you called it first. I'll take OAD if it means Rock Chalk Championship

Silvio sitting awhile

I didn't see much of a foul on Enaruna there.

Enaruna running point...

VALUE TUE BALL

6 points in 8 minutes ain't gonna get it done.

Oh my Marcus

....

Need to feed the beast on offense for about 10 possessions.

VALUE THE BALL

I'm so sick of these turnovers

This has to stop being so stupid with the ball.

I miss Frank and Devonte.

Lack of rebounding killing us

@BShark It is but to be honest that ball just found the ETSU player.

Wow. I think Doke is going to surprise us this year. Not on the ft stripe but everywhere else. Mobile.

Holy shit....

@BShark Old age. UTEP.

Getting outplayed

Some bad O going on

Christ

Pathetic moss

My gods

Feeling cute, might turn the ball over frequently idk.

Luckily ETSU can't hit the broad side of a barn

This is getting hard to watch.

Devon handle the f'n rock.

I haven’t seen a team so bad in transition.

Doke wasn't going to pass that one out

Doke. Man.

Late whistle

Garrett's fault

Got a ball game.

They're making a run and self puts Tristan out there at the 4. Not Silvio. Not Dave.

Count it!

I felt like Agbaji was fouled the last time.

Nice play Marcus playing hurt

We need Patches O'Houlihan to give us some ball-handling drills.

Braun out there. Let's see what we do.

Frosh to Frosh to Doke Dunk. Love it.

ETSU guy hit a total heater.

So good Doke!

Doke is pissed

Take notice B12. The beast is coming.

BShark said:

ETSU guy hit a total heater.

Redicilous shot

Someone besides Dok must step up and score. Dotson had 13 of his current 15 in the first 10 minutes-not much since. Big Dok getting it done.

Dokes passing game is going to surprise as well.

I don't think the big 12 refs are even going to bother calling AND 1 fouling doke.

@DanR lol)

Linda Cohn is immortal.

DanR said:

Not like he would make it

Net

If ETSU was smart they would just start fouling Doke we he gets it deep in the paint like he has been

10 points in 4 minutes is better than 6 in 8 at least. Too bad ETSU got NBA Jam on fire.

Hell yes. Doke with the freebie.

Wow

Woodrow said:

This message brought to you by Lon Kruger.

SHIT

@BShark

throw it up to the big man

Lol idk how that worked

Jesus

Averages working in ETSU's favor. Gotta play smart now.

How hard is it to guard someone

@DanR Does that apply to us as well? I think we're due for a few 3's.

I'm glad he's playing the frosh

@BeddieKU23 hell they're throwing assists from out of bounds. How do you play that?

ETSU hitting 30 footers with guys in their face nbd

Ugh

Good practice vs. a first round tourney team with nothing to lose. I hope..

ETSU is + 21 from 3.

Atta boy

Nice soft touch from line Marcus.

Yeah🤩💥

Oh wow

De Sousa

SILVIO KILLED THEM THEY DIED

DeSousa running the floor. Yes.

Wow

Silvio!

approxinfinity said:

That was nice to see

@FarmerJayhawk There's that guy you wanted to play more.

BeddieKU23 said:

Honestly great game from Marc G tonight.

Awesome sequence Silvio

When Devon is in the flow he does really nice things. He needs to touch the ball more.

Think Bill lit into them about the defense??

@approxinfinity he's the point guard!

Outstanding D. This DeSousa fellow is good at shooty hoops sometimes

I like the current lineup a lot.

@BShark blocking out too

@DanR yeah but half the time he's going down court and starting corner left in the O instead of bringing ball down like Last possession

All D team in there right now.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Same.

Damn Marcus!

Can’t hesitate. Just let it fly

Not the shot Tristan, unless you make it

Well... It looked like it was on target at least.

FarmerJayhawk said:

Can’t hesitate. Just let it fly

Agree I'm fine with it. You can't tell kids to not shoot that open or it can mess with them.

No TOs since the 11:34 timeout?

@approxinfinity I'm guessing Bill is trying to rotate the point. Dot was killing it with ease in the first 15 minutes.

Take away that braindead turnover stretch and we've mostly played well. We know we will have bad shooting nights and we powered through this one most likely.

Give the game ball to Marcus.

Blocked with armpit?

We're shooting about 8% from the 3...

Silvio the closer.

Marcus has been phenomenal tonight

jhawk7782 said:

We're shooting about 8% from the 3...

14-18 from the line at least and 3 misses from Doke.

We took their best punch and likely win by ,10 playing everyone.

If Silvio dyes his hair blond, gets some more tats, he could be the next Dennis Rodman

approxinfinity said:

playing everyone.

Yeah, I liked seeing that.

On the upside, we're beating a good team by double-digits and we're 1/14 from 3.

High floor high ceiling.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

On the upside, we're beating a good team by double-digits and we're 1/14 from 3.

This team is absolute ass shooting the ball so these nights will happen. Self is at least trying to correct it with these last two recruiting classes.

Devon Moss Agbaji/Braun Enaruna Silvio should be able to shoot the 3.

Ok please make Silvio the starting 4

@BShark I would be happy if we shot over 70% from the line for the year.

Given that we should be a good defensive team, it might be a good idea to practice transition lobs.

ETSU has some dogs not gonna lie.

approxinfinity said:

Devon Moss Agbaji/Braun Enaruna Silvio should be able to shoot the 3.

I trust Moss, that's it.

Solid W. Forbes can coach the shat out of a team and ETSU is likely a tournament team

Good game ETSU is good but we let them hang around. Good win going into maui

D dot should be able to hit those

Etsu's coach is quality.

Perry Ellis on Ku's bench. Like that.

'night fellas.

Would rather Perry was playing somewhere, but ...

If Perry talks much?

@DanR I could go for some Jeff Boschee.

Maybe we thought we was good after Friday. Just not active enough on the glass or defensively and the turnovers continue to be a big issue with this club. All stuff that’s not super abnormal with a young team early.

If I ever start my own pizza chain, the menu will include a 3-topping pizza called "The Boschee."

@KirkIsMyHinrich you need to change your name, huh?

@KirkIsMyHinrich three toppings and none of them hair?

@KirkIsMyHinrich one of the toppings needs to be bison since he’s from South Dakota!

@Crimsonorblue22 Nah, haha.

Gueldner very complimentary of this team. In related news, hell froze earlier.

Doke: A+

Garrett: A

Dotson: A

Silvio B+

Tristan: B

Dave: C

Agbaji: F-

Braun/Moss: No grade.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Jeff is an up an comer. Doing a great job at MSSU in Joplin.

Grimes had 32 pts

ETSU player on Doke, “What do y’all feed him??” Lmaoooo

ETSU players are great in the post game. funny. I wouldn't bet against these guys in the tournament.

DanR said:

Agreed. Definitely going to be following these guys the rest of the way.

@jhawk7782 Noticed your signature. I am a grad of LHS '73. Small world. I got out of there in '79 and moved to Austin. I knew a lot of "army brats". My dad was Comptroller up at the Fort. GS16. We came to Leav. from Ft. Snelling, MN (when they closed it down) in '64.

@RockChalkinTexas Same graduation year as my mom.

@Crimsonorblue22 It's my birthday tomorrow.

Ever hear of the song...Will you still feed me, will you still need me, WHEN I'M 64???????????????

Age is just a number. Now that I’m nearly 30 I’m really harping in this

Love their coach. He's a nuts and bolts guy.

@RockChalkinTexas Beatles! My fav!

@DanR bill self guy!

@RockChalkinTexas Beatles! My fav!

Beatles are alright. I grew up on Motown mostly. Temptations, Aretha, The Supremes, Four Tops, Marvin Gaye etc...

Still enjoy those as well as a lot of folksy stuff.

I know many many bands/songs of the era in general. Lots of one hit wonders.

Little later but this song is a personal favorite:

@Crimsonorblue22 I never get tired of the Beatles Channel on Sirius radio. But I am gonna be 64. Made my cake and a loaf of bread today and the girls are making roast and mashed potatoes for me tomorrow. YUMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. Thanks to those of you that have been there with me through it all.

To All: Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Be safe. Rock Chalk.

Irritates the hell out of me that in the post game show they cut off the first question for the players and coaches. For what? Gueldner complaining? Commercials? Video of kids jumping around in the background? The show is stretching to fill time, so it's just annoying for people watching.

JUSt MY OPINION

Jim Croce has some absolute bangers too @Crimsonorblue22

@BShark time in a bottle? I love Motown too.

@DanR I do like Kennetra interviewing the players.

How about that Eckrich commercial with the grandma grasping a wiener and throwing it to (presumably) her grandson? I’ve now seen it all.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BShark time in a bottle? I love Motown too.

That one cuts deeeeeep.

I do enjoy his faster songs as well.

Bill is so happy. We beat a really good team getting worked from 3.

Did u see them fake the steal at the end?

@DanR is that u behind Tristan? Smooth standing there?

They wrote a song about this new lean Doke

@Crimsonorblue22 LOL. Not me. I'm home.

@BShark

Song about Silvio:

Maury Muehleisen deserves some credit for that fantastic guitar playing.

Happy bday @RockChalkinTexas Lotsa cool people born in November! (Mine was the 17th lol)

@dylans happy birthday ~~RockChalkinTexas~~ @RockChalkinTexas and @dylans!

@approxinfinity ditto

@dylans Bo Derek Joe Biden Robert F. Kennedy and my favorite Joe Walsh!!

Thanks all for the bday wishes .

@RockChalkinTexas I'm a '77 grad from LHS. My dad went to the CGSC at Fort Leavenworth. Was lucky to be able to go all 3 years there and when my dad got orders to VA, I stayed behind to matriculate my way through KU.

Forgot to check PER's after game 3 but here's a pretty cool look at the difference since Game 2.

Azubuike has returned to his normal range.

McCormack and Moss have made double digit jumps most likely because of good games against Monmouth.

Agbaji has taken a nose dive.

For Reference to last season, only Dedric was above 20 (28.5) and only two above 19 (currently 6). Left Azubuike out of the discussion for last season due to the shortened season

@BeddieKU23 Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

“You know, it’s coach speak: it doesn’t matter who starts, it’s who finishes. But I know players don’t necessarily buy into that 100%, nor really should they — though I know it is important to some.” -- Self on Mccormack and de Sousa

I think we should keep track of finishing line ups, i.e. the last line up in the game while the game is still close.

https://247sports.com/college/kansas/board/103719/Contents/bill-self-believes-ochai-agbajis-slump-part-of-path-to-success-138974517/ ↗

Agbaji in the reverse toughening box? Self is possibly loosening up a bit?

I hope Ochai figures things out.

I like the Agbaji - before he got hurt - of last year, who just played and was happy to much better than the one this year who seems to be overthinking things while dreaming of the NBA. Most players can deal with higher expections but some not, I hope Och is not the latter.
