4-15 from 3....
Jalen still has no RBs; Harris has 3...
Score tied by halftime????
Feed to Dave. We are so much more efficient offensively when we DON'T do that...
Jalen 1-5 and no RBs. He needs to crash the boards and get cheap points...
Baylor is missing shots. We are taking bad shots... Launching quick 3s from very deep, when it's not clear they can defend inside...
Ochai taking some really bad shots...
@tundrahok said in Wackos at Waco Game Thread:
Bill not happy with Joe
With good reason - shot clock winding down and he passes it out to near half court...
Actually not shooting well and a couple of bad Ochai TOs, but dominating the glass and Baylor not making anything....

I agree the #2 overall seed is attainable. If KU wins out they will get it imo. Resume is too strong compared to Arizona

13 of Arizona's 24 wins are against Quad 3/4 teams. KU has won more Quad 1 games then Arizona has even played in. Big-12 strength gives them another edge.
I expect your assessment is correct, but KU's profile is unlike most years. In our non-conference schedule, we played just two teams that will likely be at-large picks. One is in the middle of the pack in the B10. The other spanked us on our home court. Our overall strength of schedule and number of Quad 1 wins is almost wholly due to the depth of quality in the B12 this year. As HCBS said yesterday, there are no bottom-feeders and easy wins. But, it's not clear that the top of the conference matches other conferences, e.g., SEC and B10. Against the top half of our conference, we've split with TTU, at best can split with UT, no worse that a split with Baylor, and TTU remains to be seen. What we've managed to do is take care of business against the lower half, and those are all Quad 1-2 wins.
I really have no idea of what to expect when playing other top tier teams with different styles - just not much of a track record this year....
Shoot 22-35 from the floor and 7-13 on 3s - should be up by a lot more than 10....
16 point lead gone in a heart beat...
7 assists so far - setting the pace and sharing the rock...
Shooting 67% right now...
Everybody is on the board now...

Actually on a 100 point pace right now...
But also on a pace to give up 80+...

@drgnslayr said in TOP 16 Released- KU #1 Seed:
Why wouldn't we be the #1 seed in the Midwest, and Auburn be #1 seed in the East?
I believe that is simply a function of where everyone is on seed line and then what is the closest regional final venue. The top seed gets to choose their regional and everything follows from that. At this point in time, Auburn and Arizona are seeded higher than KU. With Gonzaga as the overall #1 seed, they will be in the West. Which means Arizona has to go elsewhere. Next closest is San Antonio. For Auburn, not that much of a difference between Philly and Chicago, but Chicago is 100 miles closer. Don't know whether bracket rules allow for adjustments given that the travel distance for KU would be dramatically different.
In any event, there likely will be some movement on the top line between now and Selection Sunday...
Weird game. WVU had 16 more FGA. We had 16 more RBs. Key was shooting 82% from FT line.
Jalen gets a double double with one made FG...
We have 3 with double figures in RBs...
@jayballer67 said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
We have just got hardly nothing out of Jalen tonight. - - 23 points in our other time against them., as a matter of fact hardly even remembering him taking hardly any shots
Zero buckets for Jalen tonight...
@Jethro said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
Thank God this isn't for the national championship...
We play like this and we ain't sniffing a NC....
We had 9-2 ORB advantage in 1st half. 12-1 reversal in 2nd half...
WVU shooting 31% and we have a 17 RB advantage. Should be up 20...but for stupid TOs...
@DCHawker First one...
10 more WVU shot attempts. Still no ORBs this half....
@RockChalkinTexas said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
JFC
You're thinking about Jersey Fried Chicken right now????
We don't have an offensive rebound this half...
WVU still has only 3 TOs in 28 minutes....
9 points in the first 3 minutes - 2 in the next 5+ minutes....
We went over 4 minutes without scoring....
@BeddieKU23 said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
12 point lead gone. Unexplainable
Unfortunately, it is explainable - we've seen this movie before....
@jayballer67 said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
Christan now has 5 turnovers for the game - -BUT also has 9 rebounds
9 RBs don't offset 5 TOs...
We just need another 20 points in 17 minutes - I don't think WVU can score 30 in that time....
It's not just that we've turned it over too many times. It's also that we don't force TOs. WVU isn't a great ball handling team, but they only have 2 TOs. 2!!!!!
We simply cannot finish at the end of a half....
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
We got some guys that think they're ball handlers
Unfortunately, they are a bit delusional....
@BShark said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
Absolutely - when we've had two ball handlers, we have significantly fewer TOs....
WVU is 7-31 and we have a 25-10 RB advantage. We should be up 20+....
What was CB thinking? If he was? That Dave could catch that and do anything with it???????
We have an 18-8 RB advantage, yet WVU has 50% more shot attempts....
Just stop feeding it to Dave in the post. Please....
@BShark said in Huggy Bear Game Thread:
Turnovers the only reason this is close
6 KU TOs to 1 for WVU...
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I thought he had a big game recently?
He lit up Providence for 33 points in their last game. Pretty damn good for less than 100% and being in worse condition than Remy and Bobby....
Anyone think that HCBS might just sit Juan for all or most of one of the 2 TCU games - probably the first on the road? Maybe just semi-concede a game - at least give Joe full run at lead guard and see how the chips fall?
@BShark That is scary. Means that Juan will have to continue to play for 38 minutes plus. Don't think HCBS trusts Joe to run the offense for other than a couple of minutes. Have to hope Juan doesn't get into foul trouble in any game, or worse, injured. He is definitely going to be worn down if neither Remy or Bobby are available.
@BeddieKU23 said in Oklahoma State Game Thread:
Good intent by Dave just awkward shot there
Isn't that true about every time he touches the ball???
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Oklahoma State Game Thread:
Might be first to 50 wins tonight.
We're barely on a pace for 40....
