Yes x 1 million
I'm taking it your talking about Castillo right ?
Yes.
They also want Bol, so does everyone
Yes x 1 million
Think I saw 9 for Tejas, 3 for TCU and Goose eggs for everyone else
Yeah Kenpom 200+, surprised me as well when checking.
Have a feeling with the atmosphere tomorrow we'll have a good shot at forcing our tempo in this one.
Looked better against us when he was a freshman then this year but yeah he's a real quality mid-major big.
"In a surprise move Bill Self brought Cyle Buffe off the bench to score 26 in Kansas's home win Saturday". :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Might be breaking a few hundred NCAA rules but why not, he's got the covid year and Sr year left.
Just having him there will likely be beneficial enough. I hope he gets into it
Feeling confident, this could be an electric game. The crowd will likely be the loudest it's been all season & for good reason. Revenge game & obviously we need to win to stay in first place in the Conference race.
I'm just hoping I sleep tonight, I'm pumped for this one.
We need to find a way to take away one of their 3 guards from making 3's in bunches. Last game it was Cryer (5-11). He's 12-17 from 3 in his last 2 games & has avg 25 ppg.
Baylor is 35th in the country in attempts from 3 per game at 44% & because of that they are Top 15 in offensive rebounding rate so it's a two-prong battle. KU must limit 3's and board the long misses.
This time they have Every-Day John, Jonathan Tchamwa-Tchatchoua & he's given them a lift off the bench filing a role they had been missing. Baylor is full strength.
KU must attack this team in the paint, Baylor's block % is 269th in the country. Keep doing what they been doing, paint touch after paint touch and wear this team out.
Injury update from Billy Eugene:
Kev and Juan banged up. Getting treatments. Hoping they practice Friday & if that's the case they will play Saturday. We know that's happening.
Bobby should be a bit healthier this weekend. Was used Tuesday because of Juan getting hurt but he's not 100%.
Zuby obviously available as he played big minutes Tuesday. Still working his way back to 100% as well.
Zach like 85% and will be eased back, he's available to play but with everyone else back they can be more careful with him. Knee is still bothering him.
Dang that was good
CHRISTIAN BRAUN WILL BE THERE!!
sorry for all caps but Jalen confirming CB will be in Lawrence! Going to be crazy
Loved it!
Keep em coming! Ramble on..
KU gave out the book on how to guard him. Obviously easier said then done as well. He's a heck of a player.
Sadly, your right it does. Despite my personal feelings about Miller he's a good coach & would turn them around instantly in recruiting/x's and o's.
If they are smart just throw the book at Chris Beard. They can handle neg press for a week, it's Louisville. They are used to this.
Beard will have a coaching job next year. Line set at even money.
Imo Louisville has to move on. In the era where you can literally flip the roster in a year this was among the poorest roster management jobs I've seen. It felt negligent and I really don't understand what they were doing. Losing Wagner in the recruiting battle is another strike against this staff.
However I'm not convinced Louisville is a well ran program. There's been numerous issues with both recent football/basketball coaches and Pitino had his slew of issues before that. This latest hire is having the worst season in their history. Their issues seem like they also stem from above as well
With Terry, I think it was very unlikely he would get the job at first but they did increase his salary recently and having them battling for the Big-12 and whatever else in March has to have them at least thinking of retaining him. Assuming the guys love him but that roster will see an exodus after the season. Terry isn't the answer long term and with the move to the SEC, if I was Texas I'd be trying to get a big name.
Updates are always fun after big wins!
Points-
Jalen is tied for 34th all-time now with 1,281 points. He will pass Jo Jo White on Saturday for 33rd.
He is currently 35 points away from going into 32nd place, 62 pts away from passing Mario Chalmers for 31st & 91 points away from passing Marcus Morris for 30th all-time. Jalen will most likely finish somewhere in the 20-30 range. His current avg has him on pace for 28th all time without accounting for extra games in the Big-12 tourney & NCAA's.

Kenpom-
He addressed the media on this- his plans to return, also admitted he didn't take the Transfer Portal serious enough and relied upon his tried and true method of development. He may get another year to turn it around, I don't believe there's been any pressure from the AD about his job but the natives (fans) are getting restless for sure.
Hamilton of FSU plans to return FYI, but he may have some pressure
He won't sniff COY but he really should be. People be sleepin
Gradey was due for a big game but if the chant helped lock him in, hopefully other teams do it as well and see how it goes
Hey it worked for like 4.5 minutes. Another one bites the dust.
