Might as well stop blitzing and add a cover guy

We got the ball back. Who cares about the negative return and penalty!

I'm muting Romo this half. It's working!

Could be worse. Should have had one TD but Mahomes was too amped up.

I want to see Brady eat some turf.

Can't really remember a dumber final minute, especially coaching

Just like Self drew it up

Dotson looks scared

Well, if we hadn't been up 6, we'd be losing

That was stupid

Ball needs to stay on Vick's side of the court on offense

Hey look, we're up 6 despite the end of the world foul on the three pointer

Afraid to double Dedric and leave Vick open

HA HA, missed one

Harris trying to be a hero

good lord, ref

Culver sits with his 40th foul

I think self figures if KJ takes a a few elbows to the noggin, he'd fare better than Ochai would

assist, ref

Good attempt there Grimes

very hilarious when KJ dribbles wildly across the lane

To be fair, Frank Mason did not run a good break his freshman and sophomore years either.

I didn't realize it was legal for a WVU player to have his forearm in Dotson's neck

Coast to coast.... nope

Refs are making up for that game when they called something like 47 fouls on WVU

Well, I'm beginning to think the Dillon's Chinese food I had for lunch might have been a mistake.

timid? TIMID you say?

Bill gave the ref an earful after all that uncalled contact on Dotson

WVU players don't rebound well because their arms are used to coming down in a hacking motion rather than going up in the air to catch the ball

@BeddieKU23 he was flying out of bounds sideways on that fast break. I'll give him some props for hitting the rim on that one.

@BeddieKU23 plus the two charlie shot

Garrett has to take that wide open three at the top of the key

I might have to rewind that missed lob... looked like Vick almost hit his head on the arena ceiling

@BeddieKU23 Dot has passed up at least two open threes and set up Grimes clankers

@wissox Oops. I didn't count the two knees to the groin

So after the third hack, slam, shove on Dedric, they finally call a foul. Ridiculous

way to corral that pass, vick

Grimes is useless today

Should be a good game for Big Dave... as long as we don't run the offense through him

our fast breaks have SUCKED

/captain obvious

Good d by Garrett!

I am very very pleased to find out that the DUKE-UVA Game is NOT the lead-in game on ESPN before our game. I can handle seeing a couple minutes of Michigan/Wisconsin as long as they don't go into overtime.

Hey @wissox. You're a year older than I am. I grew up in NW Illinois (played for my 1A team, LOL!) and got hooked on basketball watching Illinois high school stuff on TV in the late 70s early 80s... crazy HS tourney's with the Douglas kids from Quincy vs the Chicago city schools. I followed those guys to college. DePaul had tons of Illinois kids during those late Ray Meyer years. Of course, I remember exactly where I was watching underdog NCState beat Houston's Phi Slamma Jamma in '83. Illinois got jobbed by Kentucky in 1986. But a few years later the "Flyin' Illini" were ALL Illinois kids... Man, that team would kill it today. Gill, Winters, Battle, Liberty, Bardo, Hamilton... Lou Henson was ahead of his time.

My KU journey trailed yours a few years to Lawrence. (My wife did her doctorate at KU in '90-'96). KU BB was already on my radar when they beat the hated Michigan State team. My wife had an offer for grad school at KU in 1989, and I told her, "Rock Chalk Jayhawks. Let's Go!" I enjoyed some great overachieving years in Lawrence in the early 90s with Adonis Jordan, Randall, Richard Scott, Alonzo, Walters, etc. My wife had a few athletes in her early classes (Vaughn, BJ Williams, football Stubblefield). Then a storm of fun players... We moved away in 1996 to 2010 and missed some heartbreak tourneys. I marked down every nationally televised game in my calendar and followed the rest on the internet. Hard years before internet streaming. We got lucky and moved back to Lawrence in 2010.

Like you I've also had the opportunity to move far enough away (out of TV range and constant fan range) to follow some other local schools (for me, University of Tennessee). I really think that helped my perspective on what a lucky, magical situation there is at KU.

I'm a huge Berry fan. Keep him and play him whenever he can go. If he's at 75% physically, he's still better than any DB on the team because he's so much smarter. He's basically the only reason I watched Tennessee games when I lived in Knoxville during the dismal years (2007-2009) while he was playing.

@Big-Clyde52 It's going to be a long hard B12 season without Dok or Silvio. Maybe Self can get 3 of 4 guards playing well enough every game to do some magic.

D can be better, but it's kind of scary that this is about the ceiling for offense though.

10 point lead with 4 minutes left.

Good enough. They were due to miss!

Shaka will probably f this up
