@RockChalkinTexas Thx! I'm anxious to see it!
@ralster as always, great job, love you included page. Save them for OSU game!
Can't base "good games" on offensive stats alone. Nice to see they are learning how to effect the game when their shots not falling. Love some D!
@nuleafjhawk me too, that made me puke even more! Drgnslayr, are you trying to torture me? You know about my love for him!!! Jk!
@JayHawkFanToo I'm not doing a very good job of explaining it, no flopping on this.
@JayHawkFanToo well they reversed it, no call. Confusing! Did you see it?
@RockChalkinTexas Ice is par for the course! Ice baths!

We were talking about being a finesse team, nice to have the grid and grind father on our team! Nice article for Tarik.
@RockChalkinTexas when he fell after his and 1, he didn't seem to be in any pain. He was "shooting it up" w/the fans. I thought he fell hard and was watching for his reaction, holding my breath!
@drgnslayr I think Andrew is smelling some fun dunks from stealing the bb! It's like a switch has gone off for him. I think he's getting it!
Have a question, we've been talking about reviews. Did you see the end of Texas/TCU game? They reviewed a TCU player getting a foul for knocking down Ridley. Checking to see if it was a flagrant. They ruled off the common foul and gave the ball to TCU. Announcers said they had never seen them take away a common foul. Is that right? Ridley plowed the TCU player over to start with! Could they have called that w/the review?
@ralster love the Hasleft! Need one for forte!
@AsadZ Self took responsibility for the first 3's, he had them go under instead over on screens. He corrected it. Commented on another thread, I think Embiid is physically beat up. He's getting hammered! The calls are not consistent, confusing to the big fella, to all of us! He's not thinking about NBA. Just my opinion !
@nuleafjhawk lots of knuckleheads on here, maybe even me! I'm not techy either, so need all the help I can get!
@JayHawkFanToo she might be able to handle Ridley!
@wissoxfan83 I'm sure!!!
@eastcoasthawk thanks! Prayers to his family and coaches!
@RockChalkinTexas where can we see this?
@nuleafjhawk I agree, most of all he's had the crap beat out of him this past month! Besides the physical beat down, it's hard for us to figure what they're going to call on him, imagine how a raw 7 footer is feeling?
@HighEliteMajor Tarik is a huge asset. Glad he's getting well-deserved props! He's a great leader too. He keeps his composure when I think I would lose it. I'm so proud he's a Jayhawk.
@JayhawkRock78 I like the no shoes better!!! I feel so much better after this game. We don't need everyone on the same night hitting. I love the different guys stepping up. Just imagine if we put it all together at the same time? Even though Wiggins wasn't hitting the first half, he was d ing up and had some great passes. Self has lots of teaching left, but nice to see them playing hard tonight. Still think we can get tougher, but really like these young kids!
@JayHawkFanToo I meant, can we, Jhawks, adjust in time?
@drgnslayr I think the reverse, instead of the flop hurting his game, I think his game(especially shooting) has been off, so he's resorting to flopping??? Chicken or the egg? I think you are right about Marcus. I really questioned if Ford was encouraging this kind of play.
@JayHawkFanToo do you see us adjusting to this, ever?
@JayHawkFanToo you just made me throw up again!
@drgnslayr but, they're not winning! I think his flopping is hurting his game. His numbers have been way down.
@drgnslayr this makes me want to throw up!
@Kip_McSmithers you are right, I thought I missed something at first. If Smart forgot about the flopping, maybe he could play like he did last year? I don't remember him doing this last year, did he? I wouldn't want the reputation he is getting! Waste of his talent! Not that I care.
@jayhawkerfor420 welcome! I was glad to hear Barnes say that too, surprised me!
@wissoxfan83 I just googled his name sat and it came up, think it was written on jan 28.
@globaljaybird it is very sad, people are so quick to judge these kids, when staying in a program does give them a purpose. I read an article about this kids mom. Very sad!
@wissoxfan83 we've got to learn to play thru the crappy calls. And.... There were a few of them!!!! I watched the first half again last pm, some bad calls, especially on Embiid !
@bskeet I will be at that one! Rock Chalk!
@RockChalkinTexas 43-8, secs left. Over
@jaybate 1.0 good read! The guys did step up for each other earlier, OSU and ISU games. Their faces, Perry and Andrews, on the pic of Embiid going down, shows a lot. Fear?
@approxinfinity no! I am proud of our Jayhawks on the Denver team.
@RockChalkinTexas sorry you had to see that game!
@approxinfinity don't know where you are, but hope the power is back on. Going to get crappy in KS.
@AsadZ I was guessing he was trying to get our bigs tougher and was willing to take a loss to do it? Actually can't even believe I thought about that.
@Wishawk agree, not criticizing Tharpe's play, but think we need a vocal leader on the court. Tharpe was on the bench quite awhile too. I really hope we see a tougher team tues, and not a 3 game losing streak!
@Wishawk I don't see anyone stepping up, love Nadiir but he disappears.
@drgnslayr what does it take to get a review?
@Wishawk maybe he needs to LEAD now?
@drgnslayr yeah he does need to work w/Hudy. His wt could be a concern. They all could use more time w/her! I hope Self has figured a way to get thru to this group. Finesse family needs some mental toughness.
@drgnslayr appreciate your insight! Way to laid back for me too! I watched a lot of bb yesterday. Hard to believe we beat Duke earlier. Those were 2 highly skilled teams. I've said it a lot, but I miss Releford. Can Wayne be "that guy"? I just can't understand how you can be so talented and not have fire in your heart? Still bummed! I'd like to see a replay of Embiid being thrown down again. What does it take to get a review? Seems like everyone we play reviews calls on us! Sucks!
@JayhawkRock78 you didn't, think you misunderstood me! Funny, I did break a toe this week. I'm a huge believer in playing defense. I loved Releford! My gent comment was because I'm a gal.
@drgnslayr completely understand, I can't let it slide, nor find positives. Do you think he used the whip or carrot? Sounds like the carrot. What did you think about some of the calls? I never use that as an excuse! Just wanted your opinion.
@jaybate 1.0 great post, I think we will see if they can figure that out Tuesday. I'm not a big believer in excuses or they hit a wall or whatever. I'm in a bad mood!
@JayhawkRock78 speaking of D, do we ever recruit a guy that plays great D? Seems like Self said he teaches D, but this team is not to receptive??? Just want to see them dig deep and do it! Oh, not a gent.
@konkeyDong Selden played hard 2nd half. Just awful bb!
