KU vs Indiana game chat • Dec 18, 2023 12:30 AM

@jayballer67 said in KU vs Indiana game chat:

Not sure if anyone else listened to Hunter , Kevin , & juan doing their postgame or not but I hope Kevin isn't coming down sick with the flu or possibly what KJ had last week. - - -During the whole post game Kevin just kept coughing,& Coughing- & coughing - - - -hope he isn't coming down with the flu

But, if he is, a "good" time to get it out of the way... ;)

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other bball games:

Tang came to elevate. Not get boatraced at home to a terrible Nebraska team.

Uh, saying that Nebraska is terrible is a bit over the top. They are 9-2. Most of their wins are against powderpuffs, but they did beat Michigan St. last game and Oregon State earlier. And, now KSU on the road. They may well end up toward the back end of the B10, but...

Btw, KSU was 4-30 from 3. That isn't going to win many games...

3 B12 teams knocked from the unbeaten ranks yesterday. BYU, Cincinnati, and TCU all took their first loss (although none bad losses). Only 7 unbeaten teams remaining, and the B12 still has 3 of them - Houston, Baylor and Oklahoma. Arizona and Clemson are the only other P5 unbeaten teams.

@wissox

Yeah lots of awful in 4 minutes from the zebras

But more from our guys...

Missouri Hate Weekend • Dec 09, 2023 10:27 PM

Tigers definitely amped up - getting to every loose ball...

Other bball games • Dec 09, 2023 10:13 PM

And Auburn beat Indiana by 28 - put up 104 on them....

Other bball games • Dec 06, 2023 12:12 PM

Good night for the B12 against the Big East - 4-0. Texas vs. Marquette is last game tonight. B12 has already won the series; believe it is 7-3 now.

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 02:24 AM

The Roos lost to Baylor by 38...

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 02:20 AM

So, in the last 20 minutes, we've been outscored 31-24 by UMKC...

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:47 AM

We were up 31-11 with 7 minutes to go. Pretty ugly since then...

@stoptheflop said in KU vs Roos game chat:

Good grief the fieldhouse is quiet like a movie theater.

Well, a 14-6 run by the other team will do that...

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:32 AM

11-4 run by the Roos...

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:21 AM

So, nitpicking against an outmatched team....Hunter has been settling for longer shots that necessary, Kevin has given up 3 layups, the Roos have missed some wide open looks, and a couple of sloppy TOs...

Other bball games • Dec 02, 2023 09:53 PM

Kentucky down 8 at halftime at home against UNC-Wilmington...

Newton has over half their points...

8 pts in 8 minutes is not going to get it done. O has gone stagnant...

2 points in 4 minutes - 1-5.

We need to give the bench guys some run in games like this.

Has McDowell been in the game yet???

Pretty solid 1st half. But, we shot 56% to their 39%, had more rebounds and assists and fewer TOs, and we're only up 7. They may not make as many late in the clock 3s, but assume they will be better in regular sets. Need to keep up the defensive pressure. And Juan has missed at least 3 layup attempts and Hunter has missed putbacks (although have shown up as missed shots) - need to finish around the basket.

2 wide open 3s to go up by 15. Need to make those if we want to put away a team as good as the Huskies...

Everyone has looked pretty good with exception of Elmarko - seemingly having no impact on the game...

@RockChalkinTexas said in BIG GAME!! The Students Are There, We Should Talk:

KJ got kicks 🦘

Just wish that would translate into a few more rebounds per game...

Grady got the start! • Nov 29, 2023 12:24 PM

@wissox said in Grady got the start!:

Grady got demoted, playing GLeague ball.

I realize that the NBA drafts on potential, but Grady definitely would have benefited from another year of college ball; physical maturity if nothing else...

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 03:00 AM

Starters 1-7 from 3...

@DanR said in Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5:

This is good experience... like a first or second round challenge in the tourney when you play like crap

But there aren't too many 300+ ranked teams in the tourney...

@nuleafjhawk said in Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5:

@wissox EIU is an EIEIO team. We're just playing down to the level of our competition as usual.

Playing WAY down....

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:53 AM

Playing the bench liberally in the first half and which we won by 13. Mostly starters in the 2d half and getting beat by 10....

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:46 AM

Wonder if a 340+ ranked Kenpom team has ever beaten a top ten team on the road????

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:40 AM

Hawks were a 35 point favorite - not sure we are going to cover the spread.... ;)

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:31 AM

@cragarhawk said in Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5:

@DCHawker well they are a very explosive offense

Yeah, the 48 they put up against Coppin State makes that case.... ;)

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:29 AM

So, EIU is on a 90 point pace so far in the 2d half...

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:21 AM

EIU lost by 28 to Illinois and 23 to Loyola Chicago...

Eastern Illinois. 344 Ken Pom KU #5 • Nov 29, 2023 02:17 AM

If the Hawks play like this Friday, UConn will blow us out at home...

Thru Feast Week, B12 has not been quite as dominant as some prior years, but still has a good collection of P5 and other quality wins, including a few against ranked teams: Kentucky, Tennessee, USC, Auburn, San Diego State, Utah, NC State, Florida, Iowa, and Michigan. Only OSU and WVU have bad losses.

@Gorilla72 said in Other bball games:

Mgbako had 2 points in the Indiana loss. Played 23 minutes.

K-State down 19 to Miami at the half, 47-28

So, KSU lost to Miami by 8, but not sure how much to read into it. KSU was 4-28 from 3; Miami was 12-24. Don't think either of those will happen often, esp. the combination.

TexTech Offense Numbers • Nov 11, 2023 08:17 PM

4 times inside the TTU 10 yard line and come away with 6 points....

TexTech Offense Numbers • Nov 11, 2023 08:15 PM

The problem was going to the 3 man rush and letting him just sit back there and find open guys. Have to put pressure on the QB....

Manhattan Jaspers, Who? • Nov 11, 2023 01:36 AM

Pretty remarkable how much Juan impacts the game without scoring - even taking a shot...

Manhattan Jaspers, Who? • Nov 11, 2023 01:29 AM

@kjayhawks said in Manhattan Jaspers, Who?:

Furphy is going to be Svi 2.0 in a few years book it

Disagree that it will be a few years...

KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!! • Nov 07, 2023 01:46 AM

Okay - thanks for the update!

KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!! • Nov 07, 2023 01:45 AM

Question is why McDowell hasn't gotten minutes, esp. with 3 fouls on Elmarko?

KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!! • Nov 07, 2023 01:13 AM

@Gorilla72 said in KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!!:

Timberlake didn’t start. 🤔

Well, Elmarko hasn't done anything yet to justify his starting...

Exhibition Game Tonight • Nov 02, 2023 12:56 AM

This team is going to struggle making perimeter shots...

Exhibition Game Tonight • Nov 02, 2023 12:45 AM

@DCHawker said in Exhibition Game Tonight:

Joined late - watching the last 3 minutes has been painful. Offense is offensive. Bad entry passes and the only points are a couple of FTs (with KJ missing two of those). Against FHS....

Next 3 minutes better...

NO effing interference....

Gotta bring pressure - don't let him sit back there...

Need one sack...

Too much time left...

That's one of those situations where you go down at the 1 foot line...
