I think KU should hire Frank Mason as an assistant just to work with El Marko. Kid has handles. He just needs some grit

@Jayblaze technically true!
Here comes El Marko. Come on, dude. Step it up.
I never notice our opponents missing layups but I'm sure they do, right?
@patoh3 we're living in the past, man
I have a feeling my espn feed is trailing by about30 seconds
@wissox said in Bringing out the Reds game chat:
@DanR No, I don't either. Williams I never minded til he said like 3 times tonight that Jank wasn't set. I'm still mad at him for irresponsibly getting in that motorcycle accident and sinking the bulls hopes. But that did lead to them drafting Kirk H so I was happy about that.
I forgot Jay was a bull. LOL Nice that you found something positive out of that situation!
I don't mind Schulman, tbh
WTF posting Hunter up at the three point line
why does hunter even bother jumping two inches to try to block a shot? Drives me nuts
KJ putting a little too much juice on the bank shots tonight
@wissox Jay williams and the dweeb
I'm tired of Tang already
Gonna have to figure out a way to solve the three disparity
Could’ve used Johnny on the boards late though
@RockChalkinTexas el marko has been playing decent
I’ll give Baylor some credit for hitting some tough shots
Couple more stops and we have a chance. Pressure’s on the bears
El marko has played some decent D too
Not that mari
El marko playing with some fire
These refs suck. Kj tackled him
Get it under ten and make it a game
Way to go El marko
Offensive foul fest
Google time of game to stink if we can turn it around
I like this Juando guy
6-0 run keep it going
Getting a little too worked up, Bill
One thing worth pointing out: is I have no doubt with Kev playing we would have easily beaten BYU. With Kev out we have no one willing to attack the basket through contact. He's also another threat from three. His D is probably the best on the team, and that helps Juando on D. (Really need a couple good defensive guys working together to create turnovers) Kev also bitches to the refs a lot, which takes some of that burden away from Hunter, so there's that too. LOL
@benshawks08 said in BYU Thread:
I, like someone else said above, think Hunter is the issue. And for me it's not even the missed free throws. It was his demeanor after every missed shot.
This is it. I was at the game last night, unfortunately (although it was still fun, great crowd, other than--who would have guessed--visiting BYU fans are kind of assholes).
Here's the deal. Hunter bitched at the refs after EVERY play the second half about getting body checked on offense while going down the set up in the block. Yes, they were putting a little body on him. Little. He's twice their size and acts like a flower. Spent an entire timeout showing the ref how they are jamming him with a forearm. Next play, ref finally called a foul. Game was tied or we were up or down one. Hunter missed both free throws, then the next two free throws and was basically useless the rest of the half other than one blocked shot against a 6 footer and a wide open three. All that energy being a crybaby for nothing. Was hacked all night and triple teamed and threw out to the wing one time.
His little flop about getting hit in the gut was weak as F too, not to mention the stupid slappy tech.
So... OK, he's all we have. Million bucks. Love his short jumper touch and moves around the rim. It's amazing. Could have kept the two bigs we lost Udeh and Zub, I get it. Hope he pulls a Remi in March/April, but it will be kind of icky. I feel bad for KJ, Juando to a limited extent because he hasn't elevated his game one iota the past two years. Hope Furph sticks around with KJ to transition to another generation.
Surprised to see @approxinfinity such a fan of storming.
Just set a countdown clock at 45 seconds or something. Let the players get off the court. I don't care if Filipowski or Caitlin faked whatever, they should be able to exit the court to the locker room or the handshake line without some idiot with their phone out smashing into them. Clearly a guy ran directly over to Filipowski to slap him on the back after he'd been caught up in the mob. Probably said, "Good game, Luv Ya" or something.
Maybe I'm still pissed at Traylor getting body checked and the dejected look on his face when he knew he'd end up in prison if he retaliated against that asshat KSU fan. The players are especially defenseless now with the NIL stuff. Fans are not supposed to be on the court.
I was also at the KU-Tennessee game in Knoxville where the walk-ons beat #1 KU in jan, 2010. I felt like they deserved the court storming, but it was still an ugly environment. Luckily it was an early Sunday afternoon game and the fans were only drunk from the night before.
I hope they ban it while the visiting team is still on the court/field. The players and coaches deserve a chance to shake hands and exit. That's a good tradition too. If the home team wants to run out to midcourt and jump around with students after that, go for it.
And enforce the ban by forfeiting the game. Not going to hurt KU at all, LOL.
That kind of balanced scoring by the five starters will win a LOT of games in march/april. +Kev
Have fun in the sec, Texas. Spent 10 years in Knoxville and it was junk ball and not the most savvy BB fans. So... texas should fit right in.
why are the starters in?
dumb play but glad nobody got hurt or did something stupider
5 turnovers in 4 minutes
fearless post feed by Furph
I actually love it when KJ breaks the press, LOL
Juando was hacked too
Mari should have about 6 points. He's getting mugged
Maybe coach Rodney can yell something more specific at the next time out
Bench looks freakin great today so far
Kind of feel like Nick had his good 5 minutes and maybe we shouldn't expect a whole lot more from him
@kjayhawks one gimpy guy does slow down the entire offense
nick needs to grow a mustache. It can't hurt
might have to rewind that block by braun
Hopefully that'll get KJ going
see if Hunter can get 30 in this one
