A bit early, but let's go. We good.

First half will be a bit distracting with the Chiefs game still on.

I think I will be very done with the Chiefs game. Poor effort and injuries piling up. :(

My beloved Bears have been toast for a month so I’ll be all about the hawks

Still have the Seahawks. Fingers crossed against the Niners.

Garrett starting

Got mahomes shirt over Jayhawks shirt!

BeddieKU23 said:

Excellent

@BShark boo

Home crowd for the hawks

Oh no, Dickie V

Marc G

Well Garrett looks ok

Ku doesnt know what they are doing on defense right now. Missed assignments all over the place.

FarmerJayhawk said:

Our d in general too

@tundrahok Isn't he supposed to be retiring after this season?

bmensch1 said:

The scary thing for opponents is it is still effective due to length and athleticism

Ankle looks fine

Nice start

@nwhawkfan I haven't heard. I do love his enthusiasm for the game, but he's probably ready to retire.

Dotson left his game in Lawrence so far

Young och🤔

The next jump pass is going to make me lose my shit

Can’t lose if we pitch a shutout

@BShark indeed they do.

This is the big issue and it can't really improve unless somehow Moss and Braun become big factors. I just don't see it. Grit and grind.

I agree. Just hope for the best. Film should show what needs to be taught over the break

Four guards any time tbh Bill

D dot is puzzling me

A good shooting team would make this close

Oh god Higgins

Higgins and monitor time. Name a more iconic duo

@BeddieKU23 first time I've seen him

Good weekend for tOSU fans.

Aggressive ochai

First time Och didn’t look like garbage with the ball in his hands

Good looks not going down

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Love to see it

BeddieKU23 said:

Yeah I can live with that

Good news...were up 9-0....bad news we should be 18-0.

Such a garbage call

@BShark I picture every OSU fan looking like Mantis and it makes me really happy.

Stanford is doing a great job denying the post feed

Nova playbook

2 on Dot. Not great.

Dotson with 2 fouls. Nightmare 12 minutes coming

That guy is impressive!

At least we have Marcus today.

FarmerJayhawk said:

2 on Dot. Not great.

Is that??? Bah gawd it's Braun's music.

Holy soft and 1

I don't think he meant to bank that.

The bank is???

Holiday banking hours..?

That was a bad shot gone right

Did Haase pump them up too much? Starting to look like Rick Barnes club yesterday against wisky

WVU was 15/25 from the line and still won by 8. Craziness.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

This ft should be fun

Moss!🤩

Moss!🤩

He loves garbage 2’s lol

Pick and roll defense is garbage

@BeddieKU23 You mean a game with a Big 10 team and West Virginia wasn't beautiful basketball? Shocked.

Recommend not trying to force feed Silvio.

Stone hand silvio

One on 5 is not good odds.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

@BeddieKU23 You mean a game with a Big 10 team and West Virginia wasn't beautiful basketball? Shocked.

Lived up to the ugliness

The game plan of their offense looking better than our defense isn't going very well so far.

This line up is so disrespectful

Maybe a foul

Cylinder?

Stanford scared?

Good pressure

Weird game so far

Refs working Doke

kjayhawks said:

Weird game so far

One we like to blow too

This game is awesome for our fg% defense

Higgins hardon for doke

BShark said:

This line up is so disrespectful

Okay dot is back thankfully

Gotta make that dot

Make a shot jesus

Um

@BeddieKU23 It could be worse. We could be Stanford right now.

Holy cow

Just brick city

Pathetic

I'm a little relieved for Stanford, they finally scored.

And mute.

Lolololol this is so bad

Call a timeout bill

Somebody !

We are the Golden State Warriors confirmed.

I'm gonna blame the rims

What an ugly game. Bill must be loving it.

Is this a old big east game? Terrible offense so far lol

I expected ugly but so far this exceeds expectations

kjayhawks said:

Is this a old big east game? Terrible offense so far lol

I mean... We have been getting some good looks at least.

Not exactly Hall Of Fame stuff today

Lobs...we need lobs. Ochai from the corner or drive to Doke or big dave. Were too big and too athletic to be playing the missed 3 ball game.

bmensch1 said:

Good idea. Usually we excel with this

CONDI!!

Marcus!

At least moss can make a freebie

Would be insane to hold them to single digits lol

Wow Marcus big time

We are 10-1 if Marcus plays the whole game. I'm convinced.

Defense

Sounds like a pretty good KU fan turnout today.

Guess our lob offense sucks too

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

No doubt

@BeddieKU23 ok...I forget sometimes that dot throws the lob...no bueno

Miami playing with Chiefs fans in Foxbough

Ugh

He's right about the 97 team. I thought the 2002 team was pretty good as well.

They get free points off that that's a joke

Rims do sound loose. (Or maybe the mic's turned up too much. )

Wheres the foul???

One thing we don't have to worry about with Braun is confidence.

One day Christian is gonna throw that down

Doke is unplayable today

BeddieKU23 said:

Dave?

Sad

All the bigs

That's what 13 turnovers?

Doke wyd

Hesitating

Dok has 10 rebounds already.

They’re hacking Doke so hard in the post but no call

Life on the road is going to be hard to watch

1-11 from 3. Yikes

FarmerJayhawk said:

Happening all year

@BeddieKU23 might be hard at home agains wv

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Oh yeah the team has regressed. They wont change overnight

Did they give dot a shooting foul?

We don't have shooters or ballhandlers. Gonna be lots of games like this...

@BShark We've been decent. 1-11 is bad especially considering that the looks we've been getting are wide open.

Actually our bigs are just not good passers. Doubling makes sense

Lmao

BeddieKU23 said:

Actually our bigs are just not good passers. Doubling makes sense

Please keep saying this

I think Marcus is my favorite KU player this year. I love Garrett.

Ochai man. lol

Moss was fouled fuck that

FarmerJayhawk said:

BeddieKU23 said:

One good pass. I'll take it

Not saying Doc Naismith is going to come back and smite everyone, but not not saying it either

Higgins hardon continues

Haase could probably suit up and look competitive today.

@nwhawkfan so could self

Pre and post xmas games suck

This is some awful basketball. Ku should be up at least 15.

Good d

BRAUN

@FarmerJayhawk Jeff Boschee is looking sullen somewhere.

We didn’t get crisp passing and ball control for Christmas

If we can get it back 10 at the half I’ll be happy

Now you call a timeout

Hallelujah !

Wtf!!!

Super fast travel call

Play Marcus at the 5

What travel?

Dave is awful

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

What travel?

Phantom

BeddieKU23 said:

Dave is awful

Yeah at times but that wasn't a travel

Isaiah Moss

Braun cant make free throws

Whew. Up by 10 is a lot better than up by 5, given how the half started

Wow moss the boss

Got my wish lmao, ugly ugly half. Lucky we aren’t down and they are lucky to be within 20.

kjayhawks said:

If we can get it back 10 at the half I’ll be happy

Heyyy

Give credit to Tristan for pushing the ball up to get that shot

Finally getting those to fall.

That Moss 3 pter across the body in transition was a zero for infinity shot by Grimes last year.

14 TOs. On Pace to Match the 28 (?) Vs Duke.

@approxinfinity I was just typing the same thing! Not much progress.

@approxinfinity Yet somehow still on pace to win the game by 20. That's really remarkable.

If we could stop shooting ourselves in the foot all the time we'd be pretty good.

Defense has been good, offense has been hot garbage. KU should be up 20+ right now. FT's and TO's are going to be an issue all season.

The game against West Virginia next week is going to be some kind of ugly.

New England down! Chiefs up 10!

A few minutes ago we were looking at a possible worst case scenario...KU blowing a big lead, Chiefs in a nail-biter and the Patriots winning.

Funny how things can change.

@nwhawkfan a bye would be huge

Bears salvage 8-8 so that’s fun

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@nwhawkfan a bye would be huge

Same thing happening over in the NFC. Pulling for the Lions over Green Bay so the Seahawks can get a possible bye.

Sad Broncos noises

KU must get Dok involved in the offense. 0/1 in the first half.

Whooohooo

Nothin' like a home playoff game

@stoptheflop Doke gets swarmed every time he gets a touch and then we clank a wide-open 3-pointer. A good way to get Doke better looks would be to start making shots.

Both starting bigs with goose eggs

Stanford big almost doing the splits setting that screen.

Like starting 4 smalls

Big time

Doke push?

Doke has rebounded

This is the worst free throw shooting team in 17 yrs

Free-throws at a premium.

We clog our own lane

Free throws already cost us one game. Let’s not make it two fellas

Crimsonorblue22 said:

We clog our own lane

No shooters

That Dotson drive is a 3 for a guard who can shoot

Can Bryce Thompson, Dajuan Harris, or Tyon Grant Foster shoot 3's?

Bryce!

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Can Bryce Thompson, Dajuan Harris, or Tyon Grant Foster shoot 3's?

Bryce for sure. Grant-Foster is streaky. Harris isn’t really a shooter yet

Doke?

Moss!!!

Moss!

Isaiah Moss x2

Mossing

It’s raining!!

Breathing room.

@FarmerJayhawk snowing here🤣

Imagine the 2008 team playing today. They'd be up 40 with all these open 3's.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@FarmerJayhawk snowing here🤣

Oof. My condolences

I want to get doke going!

@Crimsonorblue22 Same. But I live in Colorado so it's pretty normal.

Its supposed to snow here too today, par for course

🔥🔥🔥🔥

WOW

Moss can shoot, Dickie.

Beautiful play design by Bill out of the TO to get Moss a open look.

Ok who told our guys it was ok to make 3’s

That was all Marcus, though, to get Ochai that look.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

That was all Marcus, though, to get Ochai that look.

Yes it was crossed up jones

I think it'll be really good for Thompson to play with Marcus next year. Excited about that.

Doke wouldn't make 50% from 8 feet

Not a good entry-pass.

Doke's FT's in game are completely mental at this point. Too many stories of him making a very high % in practice for it to be form. He's obviously found a form that works for him in practice, now it's just mental to carry it into a game with him.

Ok Dick, now.. you run for 30 minutes and get punched repeatedly in the kidneys then take 20 FTs. How many are you making?

Heat check

@approxinfinity He's down after the first 15 seconds or first kidney-punch. Whichever comes first.

approxinfinity said:

He did say in a game he'd miss them all at this point.

Neither big, or all 3 haven't scored

Opposing fans will hate Braun by his Sr year. Dude steals possessions and just makes plays.

Imagine being an opposing big and Doke goes to the bench and you finally get a chance against KU's smaller big, who is Dave McCormack. Rough.

@BShark Tristan does too. Those two will be lethal at some point.

BShark said:

We finally have that annoying white guy. Haven't had that since Reed and Morningstar.

StopWhitePeople2k22

Can we hold the lead??

Yes. Decent chance Stanford doesn’t hit 47

Braun is more athletic than Brady and Tyrel

Marcus

Call a foul

And 1

To be fair Brady had 9 years to develop a shot

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yet

Braun reminds me more of my username than Brady or Reed.

@Texas-Hawk-10 some day Braun will play in an E-8 game and not go 0-10 or 1-11 or whatever the absurdly bad lines for Tyrel and Brady were in that VCU loss and we will remember him as a great shooter ;)

Braun can shoot. He will get there

Doke needs some Ty-Webb Caddyshack therapy. Be the ball, Udoka.

There will never be a worse shooter then doke

:money_bag: :money_bag:

UPS

Braun canned it

Can shoot

AND 1

Oop to doke open there

@BeddieKU23 He will never get a foul call today.

Just like that back to 18. And we’ve been ass

Doke🙄

Just because he flails doesn't mean it's a foul.

Higgins.

Our bigs dont even try to defend the perimeter. Its beyond redic

I’d burn this game film even if we win by 20 lol. Poor Doke, idk if he hasn’t scored in a game since he’s been here.

FarmerJayhawk said:

Higgins.

Hates doke that's for sure

Under 8 timeout and its still bagels for the (n0t so) bigs...

Go doke!🔥🙌🏾

at Nova, at Stanford, vs WVU, at ISU, vs Baylor is a pretty tough stretch. Hopefully Doke shows up against Huggins.

Can he shoot?🥶

Ochai Wiggins

Dot looking better

Devon can drive at will.

Stanford not good

Silvio not anchored in the post frees up some lanes

@Crimsonorblue22 The athleticism is too much. They can beat good teams like Butler because the disparity in athleticism isn't as large.

@FarmerJayhawk that's a problem!

Big scored

I wouldn't mind seeing Braun and Silvio play more.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

More of them, less Enaruna and McCormack

Braun deserves more minutes

Lol awesome Marcus

That was not a charge

Ugly call old man you suck

BS

Marcus has the best hands!

Horrid call, at least the game isn't in doubt. Could you imagine if that call cost a team a game?

@approxinfinity He has 4 fouls too. Nice job avoiding the 5th there.

@BShark There was a pretty bad over-the-back call on an offensive rebound last game.

@BShark I'd be 🔥

If he had 5 Marcus's out there defending would the other team score?

That baseline pull up jumper in the Haase highlights is a lost art.

I love haas

Stop talking about Arizona, Dick.

Doke!

Ok dokie

@KirkIsMyHinrich tuned him out

Blind now!

I love Marcus, coaches dream, cept for hem

Marcus’s improvement as a shooter has been a nice addition to the team

Jon Sciambi looks like a member of The Goonies 40 years later.

Foul!

Got the chant going

Garbage no call but don’t cry about it Doke

@Crimsonorblue22 Doke hasn't played well today, but he really has gotten a bs whistle.

Good win on the road. Onto the real season.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Stop talking about Arizona, Dick.

Bibby and the Jet would go 5000-0 in college hoops now. It was so much better then.

Good defense anyway. Can't play like this against Huggy's boys tho.

Self may need her!

What do u guys think about haase down the road as a coach?

Hard to tell. Surprised that they had this many wins in non-conference. They were picked around 10th in the Pac-12 preseason polls. If he can get them to finish with an NCAA invite I'll be impressed.

@nwhawkfan they lost to the only decent team they played. A very Bruce Weber like schedule.

Well, time to take a break for a few hours before Sunday Night Football.

Everybody have a Happy (and safe) New Year !!!

Marcus said when he fell twice it was his ankle, not the shoes. Ankle stiff at beginning.

Our game against West Virginia will be on ESPN+. Kansas will most likely be ranked #3 and West Virginia in the top 15 when the next poll comes out. It's pretty poor for that not to be a nationally televised game.

@KirkIsMyHinrich agree! 3:00 game. Wonder if they’ll change it?

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Nope, it's locked in.

Kenpom #2 D. #10 sos. Decent.

@BShark how do u know?

you know when you stop and think about how crappy we have played in stretches - we have 2 losses by a total of THREE POINTS. - THREE. and one of those two losses was in overtime.

That's why I stated in another post if we can just clean a couple of things up - -taking better care of the ball- -the bad thing most of those TO's are unforced just sloppy, but get them under control - - shoot our dam free throws better as a team - - - -like some guys said FT'S are free money - - -it's not just Doke

Then Dam Devon has got to improve his outside shooting pretty sad right now - -we do that like I said there is no reason why we can't win this NCAA title just like anyone else. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

In 2010 for KU's senior night game, KU played KSU and both teams were top 5 and that game was not a national game. Not unprecedented from ESPN unfortunately.

Wow the team plane lost an engine 30 minutes into flight had to turn around, landed safe. They are staying the night in San Jose.

@BeddieKU23 ya, that’s crazy with the plane carrying LSUs OCs daughter in-law going down.

I follow a few of these guys on Snapchat and boy I was sweating because it took so long to say they were back on the ground. Silvio was freaked as I would be.
