Jackson shooting 28% from 3 this year.
@BeddieKU23 all I am saying is he needs to stop taking 3's
@BeddieKU23 you are kidding right? He has one of the worst outside shots on the team. His mechanics are terrible.
Jackson, there is a reason you are that open.
Svi continues to get beat on d and boards.
The good news is I reloaded on Reserve. Knew I'd need it between KU, Chiefs Playoffs and the inevitable dismantling of the Royals.
@BeddieKU23 ya but I didn't want to put in the effort (rim shot)
@Texas-Hawk-10 OU sending 3 to glass on all shots and we are clearing out moving on to transition d.
Jackson doing his best Wiggins impersonation.
Getting out worked in glass and missing shots they usually make and not playing d as usual.
Refs trying to punish Kansas for their terrible miss of Svi's travel. " look, we don't favor Kansas--see?"

Hey let's run some weave
Seem so disengaged
Fouls controlling pace. 9-4 In favor of OU.
What a reminderFootball helmets sure have come a long, long way in the last 50 years.
Like this nuleaf?
Seems like their points scored the last two games are right around their average. Are you saying their possessions are down?
ESPN Article Introduction:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Leg cramps weren't going to keep Juwan Staten from getting West Virginia to 20 wins for the first time in four seasons on Monday night.
Staten scored 20 points, including a layup with four seconds left
After KSU Game, article on ESPN article introduction.
Let's start with this: Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk did not simply travel on his game-winning fast-break layup in Kansas' 90-88 win over rival Kansas State on Tuesday night.
He bounced through the lane like David Bowie and Mick Jagger on that abandoned road in the "Dancing In The Street" music video. He skated. He jogged from somewhere near the 3-point line to the basket
Double Standard Much?
@brooksmd Right, and I bitched about it because it was wrong. Just because I'm on the other side of the injustice this time does not change the way I feel about bad calls.
@Crimsonorblue22 Don't you think that he should have learned that lesson after the TCU game? He has a temper that he cannot keep in check right now and short of coach punishing him....and the catch 22 to that is Self taming his aggressiveness, which he does not want either.
@justanotherfan No doubt. He has 3 T's this year. A case where is reputation precedes him and the refs are making an example of him.
@nuleafjhawk I watched that live postgame with Weber. He was classless, but he also had a right to be upset. For a little justice, Josh should not have been t'd up for asking why that wasn't a foul and then the Kstater who slapped the ball into the front row under the baseline should have been t'd up.
Run 'em off the 3 pt line. Fill the gaps on the weave. Give up the entry pass to Lucas, he can't beat us.
Fair defensive coaching strategy.
Svi, Graham, Lucas, Bragg, & Vick are playing terrible, horrible, no good, very bad perimeter and ball defense and have been all year.
Just because America is a wonderful country does not mean we don't have significant flaws that need to be addressed and corrected. And that's the same for this team.
Winning masks everything, until it doesn't.
Confucius say team that gives up 80 points with regularity, no go deep in tourney.
Also--we are never going to hear the end of "Walk Chalk, Jayhawk" What a terrible way to end that game. I do not know how the ref can miss a guy taking FOUR steps and be right next to him when he does it.
@jaybate-1.0 you might be onto something. dG and Mason both look slow. And Mason is not hustling back on d.
Self called it the worst Defensive team he's had at Kansas.
@Bwag I thought they missed a lot both ways Main issue I have is they called 2 separate halves. Gottta establish early and stick to it. Not okay whack a mole what's a foul.
@Crimsonorblue22 phantoms on frank. Phantoms on Lucas down low there in DJ close to the end.
2 games in a row JJ gets t'd up and shifts momentum. At the point of unacceptable.
@jaybate-1.0 KU is 2 Landen Lucas career highs from being 0-2 and losing to TCU and giving up 90 to KState at home. Not feeling so great about this team if they can't learn to defend the ball and hit free throws.
Squeaky is whining about the travel on post game.
Svi for three (steps)
Yang to the Yin @ West Virginia 2 years ago.
I know I've been busy the last few years, but I had no idea this youngster was even on the roster.
@HawkInMizery congrats on the new gig
I'm seeing the worst thing about Udoka's injury as affecting what kind of player he can be come next year. He is guaranteed to come back, now he'll have a hell of a lot less experience and practice than he could have had. Really hurts his sophomore ceiling, imho.
Free throws appear to the the achilles heel of this team. Could likely overcome some tough games in March with the inferior post play, but not when they are giving up this many points at the line as well.
Happy Holidays to All.
@Hawk8086 Graham is seen as an early-to-mid second rounder. My guess would be that he sticks around.
Why in the world is this game not on regular tv. Can we blame TimeWarner for this, too
@mayjay yep. A lot like other social media platforms. There's some good and some bad. I follow about 10-15 sports guys to keep up on Kansas/Missouri metro sports and that's about all i make the time for.
This guy global. Handled this Bragg ordeal like a giant d bag. If you are on twitter, go read his bad- mouthing in your spare time.
Sorry for double post. Was on wrong thread earlier.
@Crimsonorblue22 yes u r correct. Same complex.
Judging by the address, I'm thinking it was at one of the apartments at 9th and Michigan.
Sad deal. Public opinion hung him out to dry immediately. Paints a pretty good picture of our society in some asPects these days. I know a lot of people said to take the wait and see approach, but others were quick to castigate. I think Joe Davis, like many, made complete fools of themselves.
“I don’t know if I want to say Frank’s a better basketball player than Sherron, but I do think Frank’s a better athlete,” Self said. “Frank’s so quick. He’s got a burst that few people have. He’s under control and he’s playing at a high level. He’s playing at about the level Sherron played at whenever Sherron was playing really well. They’re not comparable players, but they’re certainly comparable talent-wise.”
Any clue on what Self is seeing that I'm not? SC & Mason seem to be very comparable players, imho.
Since breathing on your opponents seems to be point of emphasis drawing phantom fouls these days, and not hanging on the rims, I say: Let's see if we can break some glass.
Happy Thanksgiving, Folks.
Be thankful and appreciate through words AND action. -- JFK ( loosely paraphrased.)
The Soviets would have been able to re-run the inbounds play at least 3 times. Iba is probably still losing sleep over that.
Do you guys have Cox up there ? I had dish and have been blacked out last few years. Switched to cox and am not--few hrs south of KC.
They've played their 2 toughest games until March. Time to fine tune now.
@DanR you terrible that was a redicalos analogy 😂
