If we could make wide open 3's today we'd be up 15.
If we could make wide open 3s, we wouldn't have 7 losses either... ;)

Need buckets!
Can we break 30 in the first half for a change???
On the unfortunate news front, UK is beating Tenn soundly...
@jayballer67 said in KU vs that other team Game Thread:
K-State scoring 17 points in the half is the least amount for KU defense they said since 2013
Not by much - we had an 19-18 half a couple of weeks ago...
Getting some bench production tonight - 6-10, 5 RBs, 3 steals...
They haven't made a 3 and are shooting 30%, and we could still lose this game...
The two teams have combined to shoot 1-24 from 3. That's hard to do....
2nd half starting worse than the 1st - 2 points in 4 minutes...
@Kcmatt7 said in KU vs that other team Game Thread:
This team is just asking to get upset in the first round with a shooting performance like this.
Not sure a first round loss would be much of an upset...
KSU is 6-25, but only down 4....
@jayballer67 said in KU vs that other team Game Thread:
could there be a uglier half ?
How many times have we've said that in the past two months???
Still on track for a 40 point game...
On track for a 40 points showing against the Kittens...
Not sure, but I think we've only scored 30+ in the first half once in the last 10 games - first game against ISU.

@DCHawker said in KU vs that other team Game Thread:
How is it that we're playing a team ranked in the 200s and they are shooting 3-15 and we are only up 6???
Getting good looks (which is what you really want) but missing.
Yeah, but 14 points in 12 minutes. Baylor put up 107 on them....
How is it that we're playing a team ranked in the 200s and they are shooting 4-19 and we are only up 6???
@jayballer67 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
N Carolina has 4 points with like 11:37 left in the 1st half against Virginia - -down 15-4
Didn't reach 50 - whipped by UVA 60-48...
Every KU player got on the stat sheet tonight. And, because of Bryce and lots of garbage time, we ended up with 24 points off the bench...
TGF is definitely a black hole. Ball will not escape his gravity pull...
Let's save a little of this for the last 3 games...
Thompson will definitely improve the rotation down the stretch...

@BShark said in Iowa ST game tonight:
Just about time to put in Gethro and our D2 PG.
Do we have a D1 PG???
Kinda. Harris is a D1 guy, realistically a back-up at P5 level. Bryce could develop more PG skills. Still need to add a guy though.
That was half in jest.... ;)

Just having fun now...
Tristan must be hurt or in the dog house. Otherwise, this is the kind of game he should be getting serious minutes to prove himself...
Ochai is solid when he squares up on 3 balls - when he is falling away, not so much....

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Iowa ST game tonight:
I have to say I feel like if we played in the WCC we'd still be ranked.
Fucking easily.
Yes, we would and have more overall Ws, but we would probably have a couple of Quad 3 losses...
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Iowa ST game tonight:
Gonzaga's built a pretty good basketball culture at this point, and some players probably want to play under Mark Few. WCC is not horrible and Gonzaga usually plays a decent OOC
Gonzaga plays more than a decent OOC schedule. Few is willing to play anybody before the conference starts, and they typically do play a top flight schedule. He knows that he has to overcome the WCC drag... This year alone he scheduled KU, WVU, Baylor, Iowa, UVA and Auburn. NOBODY else does that...
@Kcmatt7 said in Iowa ST game tonight:
Pacing for 26 threes tonight and I’m loving it
Yeah, but not if they can't make more than 25%....
@approxinfinity said in Iowa ST game tonight:
Just tuning in now. What's good what's not?
Just joining, as well. We're holding them to 32%, we're outrebounding them, and, remarkably, we have few TOs. How come we're not up 20+????
@BeddieKU23 said in Need a win tonight thread:
Last night's win put some positive movement in the metrics.
KU up to #22 in the NET (from 26). 4 Quad 1 wins..
Kenpom #25, from (27).
Bracketology dropped them to a #6 seed (from 5). CBS has them a #7 seed.
IF we take care of business this next week, then I think if we win one of the last three, we would likely end up with a 5 seed. We would be 17-9 and with 5 Quad 1 wins and no bad losses. If we would happen to win 2 of the last 3, then I think we would end up as a 4 seed.
Dave, Jalen and CB are 0-11 officially - seems like they've missed more than that...
@DanR said in Need a win tonight thread:
A LEAD, what is this?
Leads! We don't need no stinkin' leads...
@bmensch1 said in Need a win tonight thread:
We should be down 15 right now....or up by 10....I can't decide.
I can't decide if I care....
1-11 on 2 point shots.....
@BeddieKU23 said in Need a win tonight thread:
On a positive note. Well. We are only down 3
The problem is that we're always down these days - 3 becomes 15...
2-13 and 4 TOs - that's some balling...
Our typical lighting it up before the first official timeout...
@BeddieKU23 said in Streaks in Jeopardy???:
KU is out of the polls for the first time in 12 years officially.
We can only hope that sparks them tonight against Ok Lite.
Record number of consecutive weeks ranked - kaput. Longest streak of consecutive seasons with 20 wins - very much in jeopardy. Longest streak of NCAA tourney appearances - hanging on, but not a slam dunk (given that we apparently don't know what those are....).
Really dumb foul by Braun.
Culver and Dave both have 17-9; why does it seem like Culver has dominated???
@benshawks08 said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
Can’t let the guards shoot or the ball get in to culver. Killing us inside and out.
Need to play a triangle and 3.... ;)
Back to where we started the half....
Settling for mid-range 2s...
43 by their two guards...
4th on Garrett...
Likely to end up with all 5 starters in double figures and could have 3 double-doubles -- but nothing from the bench today....
How come we can't make passes like that....
