@Bwag

Probably permanently blazed at this point.

@BeddieKU23

The crazy thing is they have talent, even some NBA talent, they just don't have a P5 level ballhandler.

Who did Lucas just rinse? LOLOLOL

Great start. Plenty of ball handling problems for Texas.

They badly need a PG, good thing is they have a decent one in Coleman coming in.

@DCHawker

I assume he lights up before the game. Hell maybe during timeouts.

Tejas Game Thread • Feb 25, 2017 11:11 PM

Not a bad start today.

Bill Walton is hilarious.

Didn't see a game thread yet. Let's go win this one.

Grimes should take note.

lololol Baylor

ISU just let Motley straight up walk to the rim for a Dunk. #Hoiballlikeitneverleft

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 10:08 PM

Announcer said ISU needs to put Niang and Morris's jerseys in the rafters. Am I missing something? What did they ever win? :sleeping:

Lecomte limping, going to the bench.

Let's go grab the B12 title by the HORNS today.

Burton going off again, keeping ISU in it with Baylor.

Michigan is crushing Purdue.

Also the announcer in this game just said he wouldn't be surprised if the WCC had two teams make the final four. Must be on some good weed.

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 09:34 PM

Motley just got called for an offensive foul. WELL I'LL BE.

2018 Recruiting • Feb 25, 2017 09:30 PM

Quentin Grimes will be visiting Tejas today along with a bunch of other kids. Smart move to bring in so many kids for their superbowl and not some random game where the gym would be 30% full.

2018 Recruiting • Feb 25, 2017 09:25 PM

Syracuse and UConn have offered David Duke as well now. Yeah it's gonna get heated for his services.

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 09:09 PM

WVU and TCU in a tight one.

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 09:09 PM

@HawkChamp

Yeah I don't like Cal one bit but discounting his greatness in the tournament is silly. UK typically performs.

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 09:04 PM

@Crimsonorblue22

Since Cal got to Kentucky he has 23 tourney wins. KU and Self have 16... Not sure your point.

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 08:56 PM

@HawkChamp

Yep. This is why I think people not counting them as a contender are nuts. The Squid usually gets them gelling for the tourney.

Non-KU games • Feb 25, 2017 08:51 PM

In an alternate universe where Arkansas locks down their border how good are they with Allen and Monk? Wow.

Shake Milton • Feb 25, 2017 05:39 PM

Kid gets buckets. Too bad KU wasn't more serious.

A Precipitous Fall • Feb 25, 2017 05:17 PM

Has there ever been a bigger one than Kevin Ollie? From winning a title and getting NBA mentions to being in the position where UConn should fire him.

Burnt Orange Predictions • Feb 25, 2017 03:26 PM

I'm thinking a win but Josh doesn't play great.

@JayHawkFanToo self said the issue was taken care of in house. Doesn't sound like there will be a suspension.

Correct. It was dealt with at the time of the incident. He will play against Tejas.

Been there, hated it. I'm talking about Lubbock and the vast wastelands of west Texas. I have no idea where you live.

@KUSTEVE said:

@ralster I feel the same way. I still get a chuckle about a poster over on KUSPORTS last year that was adamant that KU should fire Bill, and hire Turgeon. That had to be the dumbest post of the decade.

Wait whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? That's gotta be some good weed. What has Turgeon EVER done?

Non-KU games • Feb 24, 2017 04:00 AM

@justanotherfan

Agree. West Texas is a DUMP.

AND THIS IS WHY SVI WILL BE BACK • Feb 24, 2017 03:59 AM

There was a forum rumour that him and Graham are tied at the hip. I'd sure take both of them being back......

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 06:49 PM

I would guess grades. That's just a guess though. Mason went to prep school due to grades, honestly I think prep school might be a better route than JUCO but from what @BeddieKU23 posted about his upbringing that might not have been an option for him.

I remember that thread where every Kansas St player was better then KU's.. Gotta love when a fan-base drinks together

The GOAT of KSU tuck threads really. BETTER AT EVERY POSITION. Oh well then surely you will sweep KU and win the league....oh right.

Real post from a KSU board early this year

"Speaking of Jackson, Dave, I have a feeling that Xavier could end up turning more heads this year than Josh."

Xavier meaning KSU player Xavier Sneed. Lol.

This will be the last year of Bruceketball if they don't make the tourney.

Okay so now I want KSU to win their last 3 regular season games.

@drgnslayr said:

@BShark

Yes.... Bruce deserves all the "credit."

I don't attempt to follow the inside workings of the purple kitties.... but I do watch some of their games.

They seem to have lost all team swagger. I felt that their swagger was a big part of what was holding their pants up this season. They definitely need to recruit a few better players, and more important, players that properly fit with other players. They seem to be starved for a dominant swing forward (3).

But I was told by KSU fans that Iwundu was basically Josh Jackson? :worried:

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 04:45 PM

@justanotherfan

Completely agree in fact I've often said teams take on the personality of their coach.

As far as is he the ranking coaches in this league I would say...

Self

Kruger/Huggins (both have the same number of final fours as Self but no ring)

Drew (he has his detractors but Baylor is consistently good)/Dixon

Beard/Underwood (both up and comers, potential to rise)

Prohm (I really dislike Prohm but ISU is showing life late)

Weber

Wet Napkin

Shaka Smart

@Kcmatt7 said:

@BShark Imagine a whole season of hearing that voice everyday... I'd want the season to be over sooner if I played for him too.

Weber needs to go. Can't keep guys there. Can't recruit. Dude needs to be done. They won't ever be more than they are right now under him.

They really missed the boat not firing him last year. It will be harder to get Underwood now.

Graham arrested for expired tag ticket • Feb 23, 2017 04:02 PM

@HawkChamp

He was just writing up the story for the KC STAR.

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 04:02 PM

This KSU team just looks like they don't give a shit. Got the same vibes from Weber's later Illinois teams. That's gotta be on Weber right?

@BShark So when do the Purple P-----s start using Webber's name in their chant?

@BeddieKU23 said:

@BShark

Easier for ISU to fill their class at this point as they are after all JUCO's besides the Yetna kid. These offers to ISU might be their holy grail and obviously ISU is known for JUCO's..

They offered De'Quon Lake, Juiston, Raynere Thornton, Kyvon Davenport, and a guard Davion Cole-Johnson. Looks like they will get at least 2 of this group..

Lake is saying KU could be on his list of visits this spring.. ISU, KSU others as well..

And your right it doesn't really make them a big team again. Although Lard & Kasongo will give them better length, its unknown how good either will be.

Oh for sure, KU goes after way bigger names. We will get more players, just don't know who they are right now.

I remember Lake's name being mentioned before. Assuming Bragg is back it would be hard to do much better for a big due to the lack of pt available. At least he is 6'10'' so he could presumably play back-up center for Doke.

As for Kasongo I remember when his name was mentioned with KU for a bit. Did not want.

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 02:17 PM

@BeddieKU23

Well they certainly need bigs. Looks like the Juiston kid is 6'7''. Perfect ISU post lol. Doesn't appear to be a heated race for his services so I imagine they will land him. I guess at least they have an idea who else they will be landing, doesn't feel like we really do. We know Self will fill most of the scholarships but he couldn't quite fill them for this season so who knows.

@BeddieKU23

Yep I could see ISU going 0-3 their last three games. Those will be big games, I hope they aren't on when KU is playing because I'd like to watch.

We will find out about Prohm really fast next year. They lose their entire team basically. I think Wigginton will be a great one for them but he will be a FR and not surrounded by much.

Ty Berry • Feb 23, 2017 01:58 PM

@dylans

Agree. He will need to play AAU ball for better evaluations. He is tiny right now, but then again he is 14/15. I have friends around Wichita so if he becomes really big time I'll definitely head down there to check him out while visiting. :+1:

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 01:54 PM

Really quite something how KSU and Okie Lite have went in opposite directions. The game last night was the perfect microcosm of it even. Okie Lite started the conference 0-6 and is now 8-7. KSU started 4-3 and is now 6-9.

Also the season is right there for ISU. Not sure if religious hillbilly Prohm made a breakthrough or what but they could easily get a clear cut 2nd place in this league. They will have to earn it. Home against Baylor and at WVU.
