Wonder why Mitch came in for Dedric instead of Dave... Cedric as one foul, but still.

Need to get all the guards going!
Prison Mitch the intimidator forces the shot clock violation!
We just can't shoot worth a hoot
@BeddieKU23 Dave, Dedric, and Ochai clanked three in a row though.
@BeddieKU23 we stopped scoring too
Dave had a lane open for Grimes and he passed it up. Come on, man.
Big Dave needs a breather
Let your hair grow, Shaka.
Big Dave is in the house.
@approxinfinity I think Hide Yo Kids was nuleaf? Had Dynomite JJ as an avatar

Is this the game thread? I'm ready.
@Crimsonorblue22 One of the first game with four guards and it was ugly.
I doubt Mathews Jr. for WVU is going to have two games like that in a row. They needed every one of his buckets, and some of them were lucky as hell. He's a gamer though.
First things first
Refs in the WVU - Tech game are horrible
@jayhawkcsg Seems legit. LOL
WVU up by a touchdown and two field goals
Also, I think the big 12 isn't as bad overall as it looks. At this point in the season, I suspect we're just really sick of watching these teams.
@kjayhawks I agree KState looked bad in that game vs. TCU. They've looked bad all year, tbh, but drag people down to their level and beat them with experience.
Tech and KU ought to be able to at least win a first round game. I'm sure not picking Kstate to win anything. When they inevitably finally sh*t the bed it's going to be epic.
@cragarhawk I'm not going to play the rhetorical game beyond this. I've said repeatedly that "wanting it more" means jack sh*t to players. It's a fan thing. Fans want it. They don't earn it. They don't work for it.
Did KState play hard in Lawrence last weekend? It looked like they were playing pretty hard to me. They probably even wanted it more (big goal for the season to beat KU at Lawrence). They might even have more talent and definitely more experience. How did they lose? It just makes no sense! Clearly "wanting it more" means nothing. Nothing.
@bskeet I equate "want it more" with fans complaining, that's it.
I've never heard a player from any sport say, "well, I really didn't care about this game. I'm just here to get my degree in art history. I guess they just wanted it more." Goes off to smoke some weed.
@cragarhawk If you're replying to me, yes, I think "want it more" is the stupidest cliche in sports. I've pointed out a few actual reasons why we played poorly, but if you think it's just that OU "wanted it more" then go be a coach and scream that at kids.
On the bright side, since the streak is over, the rest of the Big 12 will not "want it more" for the next 15 years. They can have their one-game home season championship against KU and then forget about the rest of the year.
We got bailed out at least 4 times during the streak by other better teams pooping the bed.
@cragarhawk we are a subpar team, dude. Not a subpar PROGRAM, but this particular team has 4 freshman starters.
Gotta get Dotson back on track and see what will happen in the tourney(s). With these freshmen, I'm just going to enjoy what's left of the season. Big Dave is coming along. Keep in mind, we would probably have at least 5 more losses if this was our team from day one (No Doke, No Vick)
Big Dave still hustling
@Bwag a rare bank-dunk by Big Dave!
We're 5/27 from three. That's not lack of effort or lack of "want it more", it's just stone cold shooting on the road again.
I've spent most of the second half trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Dotson, tbh
@approxinfinity whining in the first 7 minutes, shame is the game, man.
@wissox more than one was embarrassed
Needs to stay 3 more years.
I'm getting worried about Dotson.
Good grief, you'd think we'd hit 20% from three at least.
Put Doke in!
@wissox I guess this has been the most "embarrassing" season for KU fans in 15 years. Stay classy. Don't storm the court when we beat KSU and TTech at home next year.
looked like a good block by Dedric
Dedric might end up with 50 and the guards 10
@Woodrow well, you're not a former player, so relax
Paging DOTSON. DOTSON? DOTSON?
@Woodrow slow down, man. One loss at a time!
@wissox we're good on neutral courts!
With Doke
what happened to Garrett
Dedric has no business guarding Manek. Every time he switched on him, Manek drained a three. So ... hope that doesn't happen second half!
Second half prediction: We'll foul more and Bill forces the play through Dedric every offensive possession. I hope he's up for it.
@Woodrow Is he hurt? He seems really off.
Dotson, Ochai, Grimes: 3 of 14
