About half way down is a picture of all the coaches watching Matthew Hurt. Famous faces!

Frank apparently played well early, but Fox has come on strong. Frank isn’t getting many minutes. 😢

So AZ State lost at home to Princeton last night. CBS dropped them out of the Top 25 & 1. KU rolls with Dok. Sigh...

SVI! • Dec 30, 2018 04:25 PM

Svi Mykhailiuk scored 47 points in a G-League game last night. Jayhawks tearing up the G-League....

Uber or Lyft. Dropped me off and picked me up at NE corner of AFH. Convenient and cheaper than many parking areas.

Merry Christmas my KU friends • Dec 24, 2018 08:04 PM

Merry Christmas to all!

A good friend of mine is going to this game and just texted me the bar scene is heavily Jayhawks!

As it should be at away games! OK, home games too...ASU is a great party school. Lots of attractive people...

I wonder how many students will be there?

Anyone remember KU recruiting Shakur Juiston who ended up at UNLV? He might have fit in well with all the injuries KU. He averages a double-double for UNLV this year and last. He’s out know with a leg injury, maybe for the rest of the year.

HUGE GET.

I see what you did there. 🤣🤣🤣

Knocking Off 'Nova • Dec 16, 2018 07:14 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like many KU players are passing up shots to feed Dedrick and LaGerald. It’s not showing up as an assist but the ball is consistently moved until those two get a touch...

Knocking Off 'Nova • Dec 16, 2018 05:27 PM

@KirkIsMyHinrich - during the last “consultation” Villanova took during a KU free throw attempt, the look on the ref’s face was quite stern. He was almost angry but didn’t assess a technical against Villanova. Too bad.

@jayballer73 - you Know Mahomes will be in Lawrence for the TTU game. Any guesses on the colors he wears? Or will he go straight for Chiefs colors?

The les miles effect in recruiting • Dec 16, 2018 01:51 AM

@BShark - was this section (from which the video was taken) full of player visitors on OV or Un-OV? The section seemed a bit disinterested, sitting when the rest of the fieldhouse was standing. It was a combination of parents and teens with official badges of some sort.

Knocking Off 'Nova • Dec 15, 2018 06:39 PM

@7:57 left, KU has 3 guys on the floor with a total of 7 points. The other 2 have 44. I see the problem....

Lawrence restaurant recommendations? • Dec 15, 2018 02:34 AM

Every place y’all mentioned is full to over-flowing. Ended up at the Sandbar.with a bunch of Villanova jerks.... uh, folks

Poor Silvio • Dec 14, 2018 07:51 PM

Got me! 🤣🤣 😢😢

Lawrence restaurant recommendations? • Dec 13, 2018 10:17 PM

Thanks for all the help folks! Last time, we went to the Salty Iguana. There were several ex-players and coaches (but not HCBS) there after the game.

Leaving LAX Friday morning.....

Given the reputation of the poster on the Phog, I’d guess he was just getting attention for his favorite restaurant. “Click bait”, in other words. Nothing to it. 😣

Lawrence restaurant recommendations? • Dec 13, 2018 04:08 PM

@Kcmatt7 - 39 years old! He’s a fan because he watched games with me when he was a kid (when I used to throw things at the screen and yell). Villanova is his birthday/Christmas present wrapped into one (for the price of these tix!🤣🤣)

Lawrence restaurant recommendations? • Dec 13, 2018 12:37 AM

Gonna watch Villanova game with my son and am in town Fri-Mon. Little help please?

New 2019 Recruiting • Dec 12, 2018 05:01 AM

Twitter rumors about Jahvon Quinerly being unhappy at Villanova. Maybe transferring at semester. He’s only played 69 minutes so far this year, averaging 2.7 ppm and 1.1 assists. What happened here? I know KU was interested at one time...

Other Games Tonight • Dec 12, 2018 02:04 AM

South Dakota State scored 90 points in the FIRST HALF! Up 92-37 over Savannah State with 18 minutes left. Wow.... (can’t find a box score anywhere, but tweets verify the score). 🤪

Poor Silvio • Dec 11, 2018 05:06 PM

@BeddieKU23 - I, too, hope KU is appealing any delay in Silvio’s case. We all want him to play! But what makes you think KU is appealing the issue, besides HCBS comments?

Poor Silvio • Dec 11, 2018 05:11 AM

Dunno if y’all saw the article, but I’d like to see more coaches calling out the NCAA to complete their review sooner...

New Mexico State Game Thread • Dec 09, 2018 05:32 AM

Sooo... does the majority of the buckets group still thinking “4 out” is the way to go? Or did KU miss Doke tonight?

@Gorilla72

Where did you get your information? As I recall, Gassnola testified that a Maryland booster paid the $60K directly to Falmagne to have Sivio go to Maryland and once Silvio picked KU he, the booster, wanted his money back.

I can’t locate the source again. I’ll continue to look. Maybe I misread it....🙄

Poor Silvio • Dec 07, 2018 08:04 PM

The $60,000, IIRC, was paid by a Maryland basketball supporter to a strength coach. Directly, probably. That supporter has ZERO incentive to admit to it as that would throw MD under the bus. SDS/guardian won’t admit to it because it verifies the action occurred. Ergo, no resolution. 🤬

I don’t believe $2,500 is that big an issue. It’s the $60K that’s stalling everything, I believe.

I have little faith SDS will see the court again. 😢

Other Games Tonight • Dec 07, 2018 05:18 AM

FWIW, Wofford scores 112 points tonight vs Kentucky Christian. It’s just two nights since scoring only 47 vs KU. Heck, they scored 59 in the first half alone!

Musta been mad, tonight huh? (Yeah, I know there’s a bit of a skill level difference between KY Christian & KU... 🤣)

New 2019 Recruiting • Dec 07, 2018 12:20 AM

@BeddieKU23 - 247Sports shows us as “cool” interest. Dunno if that’s cool from KU or Enaruna....

@wissox - not to mention alumni connections for help, jobs, etc.

Preston waived • Dec 04, 2018 06:47 PM

Maybe he can go back to his old professional team in “whereamI-istan”?

Help-Side Defense issue • Dec 04, 2018 04:57 PM

@BeddieKU23 -IIRC, Self uses the Christmas break to install a lot of offensive schemes?

@wrwlumpy - thanks!

@dylans - I use an iPad most of the time. If I clear all my cookies, it creates a few issues (I have to sign in again to certain sites, etc).

I downloaded the “KU Hoops” app (which belongs to the “paper not to be named”). Now I have access to all their KU sports stuff. Same for the KU Sports articles in the LJW app. Good enough.

Sorry, but can’t get to it. I’ve used up all my free articles with the Star. Can you summarize?

Konate not playing for WVU tonight, but I can’t find out why. Their 247 board alludes to it, but nothing definitive.

Other Games Tonight • Nov 27, 2018 06:16 AM

Oregon and Bol Bol fall to Texas Southern, 89-85. Bol had 32 points, more than double anyone else on Oregon. TX Southern won it at the free throw line.

2020 Recruiting • Nov 26, 2018 02:56 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 - me too! Tix were BIG $$$$!

@KUSTEVE - Pretty funny!

Here ya go. He lamented the fact they shot too many 3’s and didn’t go inside enough.

Jayhawks in NBA • Nov 25, 2018 04:45 AM

Wiggins also had ZERO fouls, steals and blocks. One rebound and one assist.

Nine points the night before with low #’s too.

Wonder what’s up? Sick?

I'm Not Saying I Told You So Yet • Nov 24, 2018 03:52 PM

Looking at the box score, I was surprised to see:
- KU was +11 with KJ on the floor (best+/-)
- KU was +9 with Charlie on the floor (2nd best +/-)
- Charlie played 32 minutes (4th highest)

I’m gonna have to watch the game again.

Bill Self Playing Favorites • Nov 24, 2018 07:59 AM

jayhawkcsg said:

KJ is just a hot mess.
I can’t think of a better way to describe him or his play so far.

LOL! KU doesn’t win tonight without him.

Bill Self Playing Favorites • Nov 24, 2018 06:40 AM

Both KJ and Charlie played fairly well tonight. KJ was obviously frustrated and needs to stay under control but not sure KU wins without him....

Maybe Grimes hasn’t figured out the structure yet. Maybe he’s better with less structure where he can create?

Other Games Tonight • Nov 24, 2018 12:02 AM

Danny Manning and Wake Forest fall to Houston Baptist in OT. His chair must be getting warm. Really want him to succeed!

David Beaty's farewell game vs Texas • Nov 23, 2018 06:44 PM

Yahoo Sports is reporting the UT flag flew above Fraser Hall for 30 minutes this morning. Maybe it fired up the Jayhawks?

New 2019 Recruiting • Nov 23, 2018 06:40 PM

It seems AZ has been under the radar since the payment thing last spring. The so-called recording never surfaced, nothing happened to Miller and that whole thing just died.

KU, on the other hand, is front and center. KU needs another trial and serious incriminating evidence against AZ, Duke, Oregon or someone in order to make this aura of “cheating” to settle down. Also, SDS becoming eligible would go a long way!
