Crowd finally helped!
K3v is out of control

Im calling it now. Second game winner of the year for Bobby.
Having a rough half defending
It's hard to get a foul call when they don't call it
Got 4 starters shooting 3-18 right now. Don't recall the last time it was this bad
Unreal
Gotta get Jalen to wake up!!!!

9:05 tip
That's the wheeler we all know!
Home games this week start with Oklahoma.
OU is 1-2 so far in conference, losing to Texas & Iowa St at home by a combined 4 points and winning in OT by 5 against Tech. 4 of their 5 losses are by 4 points or less.
I expect this OU team to come prepared and hungry although historically and correct me if I'm wrong, Oklahoma hasn't won in Allen since Self has been head coach.
Expect a tough game, they are going to try and slow the game down. OU shoots the ball really well from everywhere as a team, 49% FG, 73% FT, 38% from 3. KU must have a strong defensive game here. OU matches up very well with KU. They will also have to make shots at near or above their average I'm thinking.
Guys to know:
Grant Sherfield-
OU's leading scorer is well known. He was recruited by KU in HS a bit before ending up Wichita St, Nevada & now OU. Sherfield is familiar with Allen Fieldhouse having played here last season when they lost to KU by 27, he scored 16 that night. He averages just under 17 ppg so he's capable of big games, having scored 20+ 6 times this year already. Shooting 46% from 3 on the season on high volume. If looking for any chink in the armor, his last 3 games he's been 4-22 from 3 and averaging only 12 ppg.
Groves Brothers-
Still here. They keep following KU around LOL. 2nd and 3rd leading scorers on the team. Tanner inside, Jacob more inside/out. I think Jacob is the key to slow down since he's shooting 41% from 3 & has had a handful of games with multiple 3's made in a game. He's the kind of guy that gets lost in ball rotations.. PITA's
Jalen Hill-
4th leading scorer but has led them in scoring in last 2 league games. In fact, he's averaged 16 ppg in league play so far & has shown he can hit the 3 as well (6-10 in that span). PITA
Milas Ozan-
Freshman guard is now in the starting lineup for OU. Modest scoring numbers but shooting 54% fg, 43% from 3, 88% FT's. Self mentioned they recruited him a bit so they are familiar. He's had 14 turnovers in his last 4 games so its a good matchup to exploit with him coming to Allen for the first time. Cannot let this kid get comfortable. Scored a career high 17 in his last game.
What's everyone's thoughts here? I think we are going to see OU's best shot and we better be prepared for it unlike our conference opener.
Zach, Cuffe, Yesufu in that order.
I'm not going to speculate on freshman right now but the one's not playing much can't be ruled out.
KU will only have 12 scholarships next year as well.
I hope they leave him open all season long.
Just outside the Top 15. The all-time list hasn't been updated in a while (since 20-21) so it's not 100% accurate but he's got a shot at Top 20 the way his season is going.
Never hurts to have a former great assistant back that also has head coaching experience.
Case is a star in the making and just adds to the mastery going on.
Yeah, we switch everything with KJ and that's the one concern I do see is we do get our smalls guarding bigger guys under the basket. Think Bobby was in foul trouble in the first half because of that. Harris has been a target as well in the past. It doesn't seem to happen a lot where teams take advantage since, we have venus fly traps waiting for entry passes etc but at times we've been exploited there. I'm impressed at how Gradey, Kevin, & J Will can just wall up and make it difficult to score. KJ's defensive activity has increased as well with his confidence blooming
KJ might be opening Self's eyes to future recruiting, getting more 6'7, 6'8 types like him that are super athletic to be the 5. You can't teach what KJ has in him, but you can certainly go find something similar. KJ has made the offense dynamic because the narrative is no longer centered around this team not scoring in the post.
I also think Case in his 2nd year is making an impact as well. We have a dynamite staff
Update post Huggy Bear beat down.
Jalen is just outside the Top 50 now all-time

No Massey update yet.
Elmarko to rise up the ranks with rivals soon.
Winners of 25 of their last 26 games dating back to the title run. Insanity
Baylor goin to OT
Solid win
Great point. It was definitely a big deal for WVU that he was out
J will has a c+ game and gets a double double. It's crazy how good he is
@Jethro said in West Virginia Game Saturday:
can you believe we were favored by 1?
No, it was a bad line..
Great point. He is going to keep improving
Big fan of this kid. I can't wait for his senior year
Good vision as well. He’s a dude
Self said in his presser Bobby is very important to this team. He really is a starter level guy playing 6th man. Just makes us very dynamic when you have that
Bobby P
