Secret weapon time....bring back Tyler!!!
Blew all the emotion during the rose ceremony.
How can you be that tall and athletic and miss a dunk like that.
@wissox 33 years ago
Turnovers the key. We were just brain dead. Senior nightitis.
@nuleafjhawk Great post title!
As for Walton and the other guy....easily the worst combo of announcers of all time. They bickered like little girls, Walton is completely out of control, and in the small time I watched the game with sound not off, devoid of almost any basketball insight.
As for the T shirt stunt, if I was the executive producer I would have fired him on the spot and had him physically removed from the arena. His lack of professionalism is appalling.
@dylans @rocketdog I find hanni very hard to listen too. His voice is hard to describe: nasally, cheesy, a little whiney? Not pleasant for sure.
Add Gurly to the mix and I just can't believe we could not find two higher quality broadcasters. A far cry from Max and Bob (or Piper).
I would listen only if I was stuck in the car during a game.
BPI = Bogus Positioning Index
Speaking of announcers, this has been on my mind for a while....what do you think of the new KU play by play, Haney? I'll table my opinion until we hear from the panel.
@jaybate-1.0 You really should get paid to write this stuff. Your articles (and I mean that with all affection and appreciation) are always better than what the supposed pros are writing.
@jayballer54 If your wallet is big enough they move you right to the top of the list now!
I was at the ku game in Manhattan and there were empty seats. Not a lot, but not a sellout either. I ve see ku play at every b12 arena but ou and tx tech, and their were empty seats every time. Maybe WV sells out, but then again they don't count as real b12.
When you hear this you will see why this deserves its own thread...
As reported by the LJW, our beloved big man, Double L, Landen Lucas, shot 100 free throws AFTER....YES AFTER the West Virginia game Monday night!!!
What a kid! I vow to never say another derogatory thing about him Again. We all have our short comings, but my goodness how impressive is it to have him head back out to Naismith court to practice after the emotionally and physically exhausting OT epic?
How did we beat Baylor? Tuesday morning freaking stud Landen Lucas was up at 1:30 in the AM practicing free throws. That's how we beat Baylor.
@jaybate-1.0 We won because Landen shot 100 free throws AFTER!!!!!!! The West Virginia game. After the game by George. Check out the article on the LJW site. How about the press goes crazy over a totally responsible and good student athlete like LL instead of all the alleged behavioral caca? 100 after the most exhausting emotional game of all time. Good Lord what a kid!
@ralster @Crimsonorblue22
"Frank you just made history and secured 13 in a row. 4 for 4 under your watch. You are a freaking stud and will go down as one of KUs all time greats. I love you man!"
I'd rather be Self-ish than Smart.
13 and counting!!!!
One
Mephis was 5 of 9
Ok I probably made this too obvious, but congrats to @Hawk8086 for being first to respond correctly. You win an all expenses trip to.....wait for it....
Tongonoxie, Kansas!!!!!
They made 7 of 11...64%. Not atrocious. Oh but the tour overs.
So here is an extra credit question:
What did Memphis shoot from the stripe in the las 2:12?
Frank and devonte don't seem unhappy playing together. Josh seems to be enjoying the seniors. Guess what, Ou plays 5 guys on the floor too. If you are TAD its idiotic to not want to play alongside DV and win, win, win.
Please answer without going to the tape or game log....first impression.

@ralster Nobody comes back from 14 down with 2 and change, I mean nobody! That's why it was so freaking amazing I still can't believe it. Bill couldn't either. Just when you think, "how could we add anything else truly worthy of legend and lore to the history of that glorious building?", something somehow does. What could be next?
I'll be there Feb 22 with my daughter hoping we see it. And if not that night, we will revel in the mystery of the Phog and all the lingering moments past.
@ralster NC game gets an asterisk as it was not in the old barn, which was my original criteria that I probably did not make clear enough in my sleep-deprived state of post-game euphoria.
@KUSTEVE If kusteve called it, we learned Monday we ought to go to Vegas and plunk down some greenbacks.
@bskeet Driving up to Omaha 2 weeks ago, I actual saw a car with a mizzery vanity license plate that read: QUNTREL
I Wanted to run him off the road.
Frank and the Snipers!
@Lulufulu
Ku over UCLA = greatest wave of momentum, least important (non con)
Ku over MU = most emotional, greatest relief knowing what a loss would have meant for history
Ku over Memphis = most important, *Greatest not in the field house
Ku over WV = highest degree of difficulty, most improbable, deepest hole escaped in least amount of time, Self-described greatest pure comeback.
@globaljaybird if only he had glue on his hands.
@wrwlumpy We were not as stiff as that parrot but close. I heard the "bring out your dead!" Call, but by George, we were getting bettah!
@JayHawkFanToo. At the end when we really needed it LL finally finished at the hoop. The rest of the night was an adventure.
@KUSTEVE You can also make the argument the conf championship was on the line here too. We lose last night and at Baylor and who knows?
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ok , let's agree it was the 2nd best resurrection of all time after the one in Jerusalem? We were dead. DOA. Comatose. Corpses. Worm food. Flat liners. Drinking embalming fluid. Pushing up daisies. The un-living. Zombies. Kaput. Holy cow that was unreal!
May have topped Lazarus and Jarius's daughter...ok sorry, that may have gone too far😉
@stoptheflop And to be out rebounded and have a lower 3 pt %, though we made 1 more than them.
Frank could have shot 10 more free throws cuz he got murdered on numerous other drives to the hoop and the zebras of course swallowed their whistles.
@KansasComet I have watched the 08 NC every year after we have lost in the tourney. Takes the sting away a bit.
Ironic that Press Virginia had more to's than we did and could not handle the press.
We made more than they attempted when all other game stats were within percentage points. Who would have thought with all the ugly clanks that we win it at the stripe?
I was arguing for threes down the stretch but driving it and scoring with the clock off brought her home.
Not to motion how thin we were once 2-3 guys fouled out.
The degree of difficulty tonight far surpasses all other home comebacks.
At Allen.
@KUSTEVE At any point did you lose your conviction? No one would have blamed you!

I realize that we came from 19 down versus MU and UCLA, however, there was a lot of time left in both cases, 14 Down with 2 and change is the GOAT. Phog and Doc have to be high fiving in heaven.

Please let it happen soon. But needs to be a bit more subtle than Kidd. Sell it!
@KUSTEVE Dude that is horrible for recruiting. The lurker was wearing adidas bro!
@brooksmd Dr. Brenda Edwards. Great Opthamalogist. She can fix that right up.
