Losing 5 on 8 • Mar 25, 2018 11:06 PM

Trash refs handed the game to Duke. Some suspect fouls on Doke. Sigh.

Losing 5 on 8 • Mar 25, 2018 11:01 PM

Sucks. I hope Nova beats Duke.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 11:00 PM

lol at these refs

ROFL at calling Svi out of bounds. Anticipation call....

+8 this half right now. Bill got us together at half. Just need to hold off the size and keep playing hard for 8 more minutes. We seem to be scoring at will.

Silvio is playing his ASS off.

Not our best o lineup

Refs took Doke out of this game plain and simple.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:48 PM

Yikes. Should be up 7...

Kcmatt7 said:

That series was brutal from the refs. Doke clearly fouled on the dunk. Straight up on Bagley gets the foul called by the ref with no angle on the play anticipating the call.

Yep. And don't even get me started on the Silvio calls. No jump balls? Then not fouled on the baseline? Sickening officiating.

We knew it coming in. You can't even breathe near them

Sad but true.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:36 PM

Must be nice to play 8 on 5. What a bunch of garbage.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:16 PM

@Blown The point is just that the trough theory is crapped. @Kcmatt7 did a post dissecting the data awhile back, I'll look for it after KU is done losing this game mostly on Self's stubborness.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:13 PM

Does anyone know if Mitch is alive? Might try him at the 4 in the same type of role as Vick idk at this point...

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:12 PM

@jaybate-1.0 Wright will do the same kind of crap if KU pulls off a miracle and wins this game. Which I severely doubt.

The inside corners are open. Jackson would eat this zone alive.

If you swap JJ for Vick this team probably only has like 2-3 losses.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:09 PM

Kcmatt7 said:

@Blown You aren't considering what the other team has done defensively. And you aren't considering runs. Once the game is over you can call it that if we are still shooting 28% from 3.

Duke hasn't allowed a good 3 point shooting night since February 3rd. We are currently shooting the 6th best of the 13 games they have played since St. Johns. We are shooting what we shoot and they are defending how they defend. Pretty on par for both teams. Not a trough.

Facts.

The find away boys have got to wake up and execute what Self has schemed for them.

Self's offensive scheme tonight is poor, he should have learned his lesson from previous zone teams he played this year.

BigBad said:

Put Graham in the middle and run Svi baseline!

I'd be open to trying Graham, Newman and Svi in the middle at this point.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:04 PM

JayHawkFanToo said:

@Buster-1926

Graham is 3-6 and 2-5 from 3. Not bad.

Graham isn't the issue. Vick is the main issue on offense. If we keep trying to run offense through him this is ending in a loss. Self is being stubborn again and it's going to bite him.

Newman has missed some shots too but overall he was decent.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:02 PM

HighEliteMajor said:

So, Vick has been bad. Start DeSousa and Doke? Might make Duke’s zone get 4 defenders off that three point line a bit.

I'm so confused as to why it has to be Vick or Garrett in the high post. I'd put Svi there and see how that goes.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 10:01 PM

jaybate 1.0 said:

Execution is everything at this level. Really bad half for KU and -3 is going to be very tough to dig out of when Duke makes shots

Who is to say Duke will start hitting shots consistently? They aren't a great shooting team. I like the defensive gameplan.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 09:59 PM

Self very clearly determined he isn't letting Bagley win this game. Both of his makes are on oboards.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 09:58 PM

BeddieKU23 said:

Turnovers rimmed out 3s and missed layups. At least we are not playing tight but we have to go on runs in the 2nd

Very rough.

KU Elite 8 game chat • Mar 25, 2018 09:55 PM

Troughed out of the tournament.

Blown said:

does Doke get past 5min mark in 1st half without 3 fouls ?

Probably not. K owns the refs.

Texas Tech vs Villanova • Mar 25, 2018 09:00 PM

BeddieKU23 said:

Can't leave trent open and can't bite on Allen's pump fakes. Otherwise we should be able to turn them over

Trent and O'Connell are the guys that can easily get hot and beat us. It would be typical if it was O'Connell since he is like a 10mpg guy...

Texas Tech vs Villanova • Mar 25, 2018 08:58 PM

Kcmatt7 said:

@BeddieKU23 if Duval is in, whoever is guarding him should come off of him to double down. At least that’s what I would do.

Dude absolutely can't shoot. Still you don't want to leave him completely wide open.

College Coaches Better Than Self • Mar 25, 2018 08:55 PM

I'd love another crack at Nova...

Texas Tech vs Villanova • Mar 25, 2018 08:51 PM

@BeddieKU23 I'm down to see some junk defenses in this game. Throw the kitchen sink at Duke.

College Coaches Better Than Self • Mar 25, 2018 08:50 PM

@Kcmatt7 True but Wright clown suited Self in that game. So that has to be noted.

Duke KU Predictions • Mar 25, 2018 08:49 PM

Duke wins by 6 imo.

@jaybate-1.0 will the FF be 4 for 4 on Eastern Time Zone teams, or will it not ? That is the question.

Chicago is in CST.

Considering that uninvited guest troll’s handle (@loyolstud88) misspelled “Loyola,” I have to believe it really is @elpoyo.

Unless he used a proxy, it's not.

I just pray🙏 Coach Self never ever writes a letter to former boy Billy Self and reads it on national tv.

BigBad said:

K is just a recruiter at this point.

Jay is doing a lot with not a ton of NBA talent and he really embraces the modern game.

This is what I'm getting at. K has NBA studs funneled to him.

@jaybate-1.0 It comes down to Grimes accepting it. He seems like a good kid, but we won't know until it comes up.

Ahhhh the problems of a loaded roster. Feels nice to have again.

@jaybate-1.0 There might be some bucking but I think Grimes play much more 2/3 than actual pg.

5 against 8. Tech not doing too bad. I think I'll watch the weather channel til 4.

Expect KU to being play 5 on 8 as well...

I feel like Nova is getting every call money can buy at this point.

Standard.

College Coaches Better Than Self • Mar 25, 2018 07:10 PM

@jaybate-1-0 recent musings had me wondering.

Trying only to think of coaching ability, and not recruiting.

I'd certainly put Jay Wright ahead of Self. I'd lean towards putting Belein ahead of Self as well.

Does KSU beat VCU...I mean Loyola? • Mar 25, 2018 01:26 PM

Jay Wright is a really good coach. I'd expect trouble again if that match-up happens in the FF. But one problem at a time...

jaybate 1.0 said:

But his knee injury looks much worse than reported.

Not really.

Does KSU beat VCU...I mean Loyola? • Mar 25, 2018 01:56 AM

@chriz I think Loyola was simply the better team.

As for your other posts I'm on a few boards of other teams civilly. I have solid discourse with ISU fans on cyclonefanatic from time to time.

@loyolstud88 Blue blood killer is cute, come back when you beat one.

He must have a different definition of blue blood. It includes 2 football schools past their prime, w/e Nevada is and a football school that never had a prime. :joy:

@tundrahok His hook shot is developing nicely tbh. However assuming he is back I still never want to see him take a jumper. :joy:

I like Loyola, shame we had to encounter one of their Missouri level fans.
