At this point, I'd park Mitch at the 3 point line and let him fire away...

@BeddieKU23 said in KU/ Tenn , so what you think ? Game time:
Keep shooting. Eventually they will hit 20 points.
We're almost exactly on the TCU first half pace...
Not one of our 3 balls has come close to going in...
Raining bricks....

No timeout before the first under 16 stop. Were getting "better"....I think
I guess 2 points in 4 minutes is "better" than a shutout.... ;)
Awful offense already. No screening, spacing lousy...
@approxinfinity
:) Should have thought of that - am a Jeopardy fan. No one can truly replace Alex Trebek, but Jennings is doing a decent job so far...
Two years ago, the KU's unprecedented run of consecutive conference titles ended. The Jayhawks are still the leaders in two other consecutive streaks - NCAA tournament appearances and 20 win seasons. Are one or both in jeopardy? What do others think the O/U is on Ws by the end of the year?
The Hawks have made 30 consecutive tournament appearances (not counting last year, when there wasn't a tournament). Absence a complete collapse, that looks likely to continue. The 20 win season streak? That may well go the way of the consecutive conference title streak. Even assuming we sweep KSU and ISU, it's difficult to realistically see where 5 more wins come from, especially if there isn't a conference tourney this year.
41 points in 2d half after 18 in the first...
Have almost closed the RB gap - more effort this half...
Did Dave make a trey???
13 players on both teams have more points than Braun and Wilson combined....
Bench is 5-9 --- starters are 9-26...
Are Wilson and Braun playing this half???

Rebounds, or the absence of them, are telling. 27 - 11 deficit. Zero offensive boards. That's an effort stat....
Not entirely, it's partially schematic as well to prevent transition baskets.
Grant for the poor ORB showing - but it doesn't explain DRBs....

8-26; 2-8; zero FT attempts; 24-11 RB deficit. Bagels for Braun and Wilson. And, down one. Lucky that TCU is almost as bad....
I think we should pull an AZ and declare ourselves ineligible for postseason. Will save further embarrassment...
How did we stay within 40 of Gonzaga????
5 -19 -- 1-6 -- no FT attempts -- 11 RB deficit. Is this the worst half ever at AFH????
Can't shoot and now can't rebound. Getting crushed on the glass. TCU has 5 ORBs; us, zero...
11 points in 12 minutes at home against a team we whipped on the road. Go figure.

OU just won at Austin. Maybe we don’t absolutely suck hind tit?
No, but maybe we are just the 5th or 6th best team in the conference this year???
I have us 4th right now. Which isn’t great but not worth a lot of the chicken little chatter
Just to note, we are in a 3 way tie for 5th in the conference right now. All six others have a better overall W-L record. We lose again and could fall to 7th, which is certainly something we don't expect in Jayhawk land...
On the other hand, we've had some home games cancelled and tough road games, so the schedule is supposedly more favorable the next month.
On the other, other hand, we've typically been the best road team in the conference, by far...

@DanR said in Baylor Game:
@approxinfinity I think we know what our problems are-- no point guard and no big man
And we're slow and don't have hops. Kinda surprising that we've beaten some of the teams we have...
Jalen can dunk!!!
We're 9-18 from 3 and 17 assists on 22 made FGs - that would typically be a recipe for a blowout in our favor...
@BeddieKU23 said in Baylor Game:
They are significantly better at every position besides Ochai
Definitely much better guards and front court players. It is what it is...
@BeddieKU23 said in Baylor Game:
Yes. But we got it down to 7...
It was 13 as I was typing that...So, will say again, Baylor much better??? - really hoping that by the time I finish this we'll be tied....
So, joining late. Looks like we are hitting 3s for the first time since TCU - 8-16 - yet still getting whipped. Baylor just a much better team???
Really too bad to come all the way back and be up 3, then give up the last 8 of the game...
Let's "see" - they've cooled off considerably - 1-8 on the treys the second half and well under 50% shooting. And, yet, their lead has increased....
fwiw - we do have the edge - 3-2 - in credited blocked shots. Alas, that's the only statistical advantage....
Well, as others predicted, OSU has cooled off from 3 - 1 for the last 7. Alas, the lead hasn't changed....
Think I'm fortunate to not actually be able to have witnessed the carnage.... Give up 46 in a half to the Pokes - they scored 70 against the Kittens their last game. Jalen another 1st half no show?
@BeddieKU23 said in Okie Lite Game Thread:
Haven't tried it to be honest. But was willing to let a fellow Jayhawk try
Appreciate it, but I will just imagine crisp passes and rim rattling dunks...
Don't have ESPN+, so will be relying on the Thread for my "visuals"... :)
Well, it's a win, but a lot more difficult that it should have been at home with OU very short-handed....
Nice little run in the middle of the half, but other than that.... 20% from 3, 50% from the FT line, and 10 TOs (almost all unforced)....
Yeah, I wanted TGF with the ball in his hands to run the final play of the half...
Zero FGs and 6 TOs for Jalen...
Wow - just a horrible half by Jalen...
@DanR said in Boomer Thread:
We still have no proof that Wilson can dunk
Evidence there that he can't.... ;)
If someone could teach Dave a drop step...
Dave bailed out on that "move"
@benshawks08 said in Boomer Thread:
@DCHawker I'm hoping that means a big second half coming for him.
Well, he did score 16 of our 20 in the 2d half against TX for what that was worth...
@benshawks08 said in Boomer Thread:
Where is Wilson right now? Just out of it
6 Hawks have scored - Jalen isn't one of them...
Couple of really bad pass TOs by Jalen...
Not a line-up we see often.... ;)
@BShark said in Boomer Thread:
Lon knows our offense is shit, outcoaching Self.
They're clearing disrupting the weave....
