@BShark terrible job of negotiating tv.

Roos Game Thread • Dec 14, 2019 10:42 PM

@BShark but the commercials are perfect. Uninterrupted and even better sound. Hmmm

@Texas-Hawk-10 almost made 3 hour drive today.

Roos Game Thread • Dec 14, 2019 10:24 PM

Just hope we let some folks play, get some experience and still win!

Roos Game Thread • Dec 14, 2019 10:23 PM

2 3’s from Garrett

Roos Game Thread • Dec 14, 2019 10:22 PM

@DCHawker yeah, was 10-4 at one point.

Roos Game Thread • Dec 14, 2019 10:20 PM

Just as announcers commenting, I was thinking, why can they stay in front of us and cut us off continuously and we forever are chasing someone and needing help.

Roos Game Thread • Dec 14, 2019 10:17 PM

Little better when I don’t screen share to tv

ESpN+ a little shaky. Kinda like the Hawks

Dotson is clearly not 100%, but running the hi-lo offense through Big Dave ain't going to do it either.

Guys were practically running into each other on offense.

I'm very over playing 2 5s at the same time.

FF with four guards and Bill writes it off immediately

Does who those 4 guards are matter?

Didn't seem to have a 3pt shooter on the floor - or ability to get someone open on the wing to take the shot.

Post-mortems: death from a 1000 cuts and inability to get offensive flow.

isn't that Doke's 7th foul?

If you've been listening to the announcers, yes.

Fouls mounting on some of our guys.

shoot in that situation

Top Bill Self Replacement Candidates • Oct 13, 2019 10:58 PM

@kjayhawks nope. F>CK the NCAA

Never align with California, per se. They are insane and out of their minds. That is not to say that we can’t be part of a realignment that makes the corrupt NCAA history.

Disassociate schools from athletics institutionally and let’s go. We know at this point the whole “amateur “ thing is just a pose.

None of the above. #NukeTheNCAA

@Kubie Keith Lankford- the forgotten southpaw. We win if he’s not hurt and taken out by poor reffing.

Devon • Sep 01, 2019 05:13 AM

@wissox Richard Scott one of my all-time favorite people. Got to work with many of them from ‘90 to ‘96. Ostertag was a genuine character too.

This was my post way back in 2014 --

/topic/935

Thanks for the memory. I miss the more thorough analysis of posts of that period of Buckets. You were a big part of that.

Strong PoV. Sound analysis to support. And sure, they sometimes got some pointed (sometimes too personal) responses. But a lot gave a counter PoV that was helpful to better analyze the game and team we all love.

Also, know that it was a huge investment of time and thought on several posters part most notbly yourself and a few others. So thank!

I enjoy the vigorous and sometimes passionate discussion.

Don’t like when posters make it personal against other posters claiming a moral high ground per se.

It’s a fine line breaking down a players game or the coaches strategy and not being or taking it “personal “. I’m not sure there is an easy answer there after all this is a fan board not a cheerleading site. I take it as a given that all are fans with a point of view and an approach that they prefer - accepting the few that may or may not be ongoing or intermittent trolls.

Next Year's Team • Mar 24, 2019 09:08 PM

KJ younger? Red shirt SO

No fandom judging here • Mar 24, 2019 08:53 PM

We started 5 kids who, before this year, had never played a game for KU. With Vick’s departure, we had 2-3 players that had played before here.

I don’t see Grimes leaving. Not because it wouldn’t be in his interest, but I see a kid who has been willing to try and bring his game along slowly. No sense of urgency to grow/perform this year that would indicate a mindset that says I need to be in the NBA now.

Dok? Who knows. Not a good NBA prospect and injuries are not going to help his case. Go overseas? Maybe...

DLaw- will try and should try NBA waters. My guess he’s 25/75 chance to get a sniff and could perhaps slightly increase those chances with another year but not sure that’s in his mind. May be time to go where his skill and athleticism will take him. Can only work on improvements around the edges. If he leaves, KJ is where? That’s an unknown, but sitting out again somewhere? Can’t be appealing.

Everyone else should be back for sure unless Self runs a guy like Charlie off with some real talk.

Tournament letdown • Mar 24, 2019 08:39 PM

Agreed. No real upsets though some 16’s gave half a game to ACC #1’s.

This season is kind of like Apollo 13 if we don't get murdered by the NCAA.

There is that.

And '18-'19 is officially over. Fair thee well.

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:58 AM

+12 for second half but lost by 14...we won the 2nd half decisively!

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:57 AM

Down 15

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:54 AM

we press at fricken 1 and 1/2 down little better than 20...WTF Self?

I'll talk more about Q tomorrow in my other thread.

He'll stay

10 points a minute and hold them and win by 4!

I know people keep hearing Q is gone. But at this point he may be in the outside looking in to even get a combine invite.

I wish I believed that would stop him

He'll stay. He has always had a long* view perspective.

Should Dedric leave to go overseas a year early?

If he likes money he should

Overseas is always available...he has no shot at NBA but if he can do what he did 2 years in a row...maybe a shot? probably not, but then can still go overseas.

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:48 AM

We're +10 but need to be +27

Woodrow said:

There’s going to be a lot of of roster turnover I think. Doke, SDS, Dedric, KJ, Q, and Chuck.

But where will they go? SDS i get....anyone else...I got nothing.

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:45 AM

Dedric had the type of season we thought, but his athleticism is still a thing...Does he improve his chances by showing another year in College with consistency?

Speculation of course. But alot of these guys may not be here next year

Or they will all be back...

Will we be able to claim that we won the 2nd half?

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:42 AM

When the announcers are singing off our sheet of music, you know it's bad

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:41 AM

Hit the fucking refs in the head with a cup of ice.

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:38 AM

KU fan in stands needs to throw something at the refs

The Other Bruce Game Thread • Mar 24, 2019 03:38 AM
