@nuleafjhawk You're hiring? How much? When can I start? I need off during all Jayhawk games and season tickets as a perk. I also need time for a daily nap, golf on Fridays, and being a teacher for 25 years I'll also need a week at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and June July and most of August.

I’m in! Same deal!

Isn’t Daum a volume shooter? How would that fit? 🤔

Let the dumb begin! • Apr 05, 2018 07:49 PM

Need opinions: the Lawson’s and Moore practiced for a year while red-shirting. However, didn’t the volume of their practice time during the season relegate them to “scout team” work? How much time was put into learning Self’s offense and defense?

After a year of red-shirt, it looks like the players need time running the primary offense/defense before they’re productive. Recent examples include Newman and Cunliffe.

I’m curious. What say ye?

Sold. Where do I pay?

There might be a go-fund-me account somewhere out there already.

No money left in the ‘17-‘18 Referee Fund?

Final Four bound!!! • Mar 28, 2018 06:15 AM

WKU lost tonight, but Coleby had a double/double. Their coach (Stansbury) said, 'Sometimes when you shoot a lot of 3s and make some, it can be fool's gold a little bit. That's not our strength,'' Stansbury said.

Fool’s gold! Channeling HCBS!

@BeddieKU23

Capel did well at VCU and not that good at OU, much like Smart. Capel taking the Pitt job means he was not in line to take over the Duke program after Coach K retires.

Or, could it mean K isn’t retiring any time soon? Capel wants to be a head coach now!

KU vs Duke • Mar 24, 2018 03:33 PM

Dok was limping quite a bit as he walked off after his 5th foul. I dunno if he will be up to 30-35 minutes of court time. Any word on that?

Thursday Night games. • Mar 23, 2018 12:00 AM

Loyola looks like they want it more at the end of the half. We shall see what the second half brings. But - while it doesn’t have the look or feel of a Sweet 16 game, it is...

Who do we want? Auburn or Clemson? • Mar 20, 2018 03:59 AM

Freakin’ Duke.... Bagley will benefit and Dok will suffer. ACC (or Duke) bias or the perception Bagley is a bigger name will cause Dok to pick up early fouls. Dok’s play will thereby get restricted. That’s my greatest concern when playing Duke.... 🤬

I hope the next trough hits against Ft Hays in our next pre-season...

Me, too. And I had done well with the rest of Thursday’s games. But, most others in my pool are in the same shape after all these upsets....

Penn Quakers - Thursday - 1 pm - TBS • Mar 14, 2018 10:42 PM

Harvard gave that game away. They had a double digit lead, then went absolutely cold from the 5 minute mark of the first half until about 13 minutes left in the game, scoring only 7 points. Harvard totally lost their composure...

Unknown topic • Mar 14, 2018 12:24 AM

Thrown out - except the Arizona charges. Lots of odd things happening in that program....

@Lulufulu - sportsinteraction.com says Evans is likely a Saturday.

Mo Bamba says he’s 100% but nothing from the team.

Doke?

Penn Quakers - Thursday - 1 pm - TBS • Mar 13, 2018 05:08 PM

Saw this on Twitter, via RCB:
“The problem with people citing Penn's three-point percentage defense. 1) studies have shown that D has little impact on a team's three-point percentage, 2) Penn only played three teams ranked in top 50 of 3PT%. They shot 48.1 percent. Kansas is No. 12.“

I have no reference for #1....

Thursday 1PM CST • Mar 13, 2018 04:51 AM

It seems SDS should be able to effectively play the high post against a zone defense. Given what Vick has been doing (look to pass first, shoot second), Silvio might be able to drive or hit the short jumper (like a free throw).

@BShark - Are you speaking of Xavier or WSU? WSU didn’t even win their own American conference. They fell by two games. Are you saying The American Conf > Big XII?

Other Games Tonight • Mar 11, 2018 04:33 AM

WKU lost today. Dwight Coleby had only 4 points but 10 rebounds in 20 minutes on the court. Are the Hilltoppers in the NCAAT, bubble team or NIT?

Doke • Mar 08, 2018 10:52 PM

@JayHawkFanToo - I always pick at least one 5/12 upset. Looks like I need to look at 6/11 too!

Nothing Is Over • Mar 08, 2018 05:39 PM

If (IF) KU can hit hit their shots throughout the game at a normal pace, it should add to Jayhawk confidence while degrading the will of the Cowpokes. In the two KU losses, the OSU confidence could be seen (and felt) growing throughout the games while KU floundered around. In retrospect, the NCAAT losses to underdogs had much the same feel IMHO...

The Jayhawks, Big 12 and Kansas City. • Mar 08, 2018 02:49 AM

I wonder how the other OU players are feeling? Anyone hear anything about their attitude over the last couple of weeks? I thought Lattin might have a pre career somewhere, maybe overseas, but he didn’t show much this year (by design?)

Maybe Vick will get out of his funk....

Ouch that's a huge loss.

"huge" - I see what you did there.... ;-)

Doke • Mar 07, 2018 10:42 PM

@jayballer73 - "First degree sprain means the fibers of the ligament are stretched but intact", according to Wikipedia. This is the least of the three types of sprains and, I'm guessing, is fairly common. Of course, at his size, I'm sure it's much more significant.

Doke can't seem to play an entire year without being injured and missing important playing time.

On one hand, he needs to come back to demonstrate durability. On the other hand, maybe he needs to go pro before he gets permanently injured....

@Texas-Hawk-10 - :-( Surely Dooley can death stare them into the NCAAT!
