I blame Fran for our defense

37 here. Very windy, mix of rain and snow. Only going to get worse

KU vs Haaaarvard Game Thread • Dec 22, 2022 11:13 PM

Foul or flop?

@stoptheflop

Star Arkansas Freshman Nick Smith, considered a Top 5 prospect for the NBA draft is out indefinitely with a knee injury. They are calling it "knee management". Full on protect the goods mode it seems. 2nd major injury for Arkansas

its first since taking down Missouri nearly six years ago to the day on Dec. 16, 2016

Missouri is Power 5? 🤮

Must be an oversight by Mark Emmert.

Big 12 went 4-0 last night. TCU beat Utah in a close one on the road and K St held the mighty Radford Highlanders at home to an 8 pt win. Iowa St's game was canceled against Peyton Manning's favorite word at the line or scrimmage.

Lots of blowout wins from the top 25 last night

Thanks for adding the icing on the cake.

Guy has some of the most puzzling defeats almost every year. Their fans must be joyed with him

Still haven't heard or seen anything about the Ladies tonight - -OR the guys tomorrow night . - Ladies surpose to tip off in 15 minutes AT NEBRSKA would think it would be cancelled but heard nothing.

As far as I know guys are still on tomorrow night - -anybody hearing anything ?

Self said yesterday "we know it's going to be cold, but cold never called off a basketball game"

OH MY GOD IOWA

That is the largest spread upset in the history of college basketball. The line was -31.5 Iowa.

Glad it happened to Iowa and Fran McCaffrey.

Edit: Eastern Illinois is 356 KenPom

Gotta tag Iowa's biggest fan on this site in @wissox . 😄

Oregon lost to Utah Valley at home. Now 7-6. Wonder if Altman will be on the hot seat...

Other games • Dec 21, 2022 12:11 PM

Baylor only put up 58 points on Northwestern State at home. 58-48 final. Watched this one and KU is 7-10 points better then them right now, at minimum.

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Dec 20, 2022 06:29 PM

Oh this team can definitely repeat but it's too early in the season to worry about it. The last 3-4 games have shown us a real glimpse of how good we can be and there's several more layers I think this team can reach if certain guys continue to grind away. We may not have a perfect roster but our 1-5 can match just about anyone.

Right now KU has 4 starters good enough for First Team all Big 12. Voters would be lying to themselves if they didn't see this as realistic right now

Hilarious.

So what did they do, actually pay him now?

Do you think of possibility of ? • Dec 19, 2022 06:07 PM

They do have a game tomm in Cali so looks like they would travel Wednesday

@BeddieKU23 Kevin is finally playing for a real coach :relieved_face:

Ooof, that's good and so true

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Dec 19, 2022 02:01 PM

@BShark

Yeah its crazy the balance they have right now according to PER. Bobby saw a nice jump from this past game in really his first extended minutes of the season. He's capable of ascending up to the level others are at.

Harris at 18.6 is crazy, +7 from his career avg there. Let's you know how good he is playing. Adams, same deal, +5 from a year ago. McCullar +4.5 from last season. These guys have improved a lot

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Dec 19, 2022 01:56 PM

@Jethro

Creating the 3 headed monster at Wing. Self the last 2 years has bullied teams with elite wing play throwing waves of 6'6-6'8 wings at teams and there's nothing they can do about it.

Kevin is a big reason why this team is trending up. He still has his moments like early in the Indiana game, but he's been better than I even imagined. He wasn't this good at Tech, flashed but has really thrived here so far.

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Dec 19, 2022 12:06 PM

As promised, update after the Blowout victory over Indiana. That was fun!

Points

Jalen is 16 pts from 1,000. He definitely didn't have his best performance Saturday. If he did Indiana would have started the bus home a lot earlier.

Self has imo ascended even more. He's been running laps on coaches. Give him 7 days to prepare for anyone and your not beating him

Other games • Dec 18, 2022 04:09 PM

KU is elite. We shall see what we have on the road in conference play but I really love the chemistry of this group. They get it.

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Dec 18, 2022 04:08 PM

@BShark

Feel free to post whatever you want my friend. Just busy today to run all the numbers but will have it up early AM Monday

@BShark

For sure Udeh has displayed a lack of maturity on the floor a good portion of the time he has played. Flashes are great but his lows are unplayable so it's a balancing act with him until he starts to get comfortable. I think a lot of the skills are there but he just hasn't had the light switch go on upstairs yet.

Zuby is mature and has a few skills we need on the court now which is rebounding and defending the post at his size. He made it difficult without fouling on Jackson Davis and was in the right spot on all his buckets. If he did that more we are cooking

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Dec 18, 2022 12:13 PM

@BShark

Probably won't get to it until tomorrow. We good tho!

@BShark

Is right here. Self doesn't trust the bench beyond Bobby right now. Joe, sometimes out of necessity. Zuby flashed big time and earns more chances with how he played. Beyond that it's up to the players to play better in practice. Self usually has a good tune on who deserves to play.

I will say not playing Rice or Udeh when the game was well in hand was concerning.

@drgnslayr

Self mentioned that turnovers and defense were main issues for MJ. Must be seeing that in practice. He's in the toughening box for sure.

Was Indiana coach mad at something while chatting with Self at the end of the game.

I noticed that too. Maybe the 3 at the end?

He told Self that Johnson broke his foot.

@wissox said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:

Who made that last 3?

Cam martin

Unbelievable pass

@jayballer67 said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:

9 Blocks by Jackson - -but we still layin it on them - Keven McCullar 11 points & 11 Rebounds

5 steals too. He's got juando arms. Venice fly traps

@Jethro said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:

look how hard we're playing...we're 22 points ahead, and we're getting floor burns...

This team gets it! And gets after it

Elite team.

Zuby is the answer

A few shots Jalen usually makes and a few have been blocked by an elite rim protector. He has still impacted the game in a big way. We good

Very impressed with the d zuby had on Davis a few ago. Stood a wall and didn't foul and forced a tough shot

Juan the reaper!

We keep playing sloppy. No rhythm at all

@DanR said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:

Jackson-Davis has a big freakin head

Really long arms.

Jalen was fouled bad

Need a bucket out this break. Jalen time

Missing point blank shots

Wtf are you doing dajuan

Unreal sloppy

Have to make that gradey
