It would be awesome to see Gregg lose to KU (bounce off Doke in the handshake line as Doke sets a screen) and have Mrs Gregg lose it on the court....
Would like to see FGCU make it. They could upset someone...
If (IF!) money was paid, it could possibly be offshore in, say, the Bahamas? You canât âfollow the moneyâ where banking laws wonât let it happen. Not knowledgeable about these things, but Iâve heard that money handled this way is virtually untraceable. Iâm not sure how family would access it because you canât hide a transfer to your own account. Iâd bet attorneys could find a way to make the money useful though...
@nuleafjhawk - Iâm not one to worry about that stuff. Just wanted to clarify. Good post!
Winning the Big 12 regular season, you mean? Not meaning to criticize.....
@mayjay - awesome! Ticket prices would be astronomical!
Road trip! Get the keys!
Davis out tonight, too. Shaka must not want to vacate any wins! đ
WVU currently a 7 pt favorite over Tech tonight...
Charlie Moore has apparently been flying well below the radar. At 5â11â, he may be undersized as a PG and has definitely been recruited over.
Does anyone have information on his red-shirt development year? What about expectations for him during 2018-2019?
Joe Dooley won the ASUN regular season conference title for the second straight year in 2018. They start the conference tourney Monday night.
Always happy to see former KU coaches do well!

Why didnât Miller pay 100 grand for a point guard??? Freakin idiot. đ

ESPN's Mark Schlabach mentions on SportsCenter that Arizona told him that the program is standing by Sean Miller's statement in October claiming his innocence. - per UA message site.
@truehawk93 , I believe this was from a wiretap, if I read it correctly - not an email...
Bleacher Report is saying Jacksonâs mom was getting significant amounts of money from UA and Adidas.
About 2/3 of the way down.
Thoughts?
One of the articles on Trier said he hadnât âhydratedâ before the test. It also said the drug can stay in your system. Ergo: a lack of hydration caused the drug to show up?
And a relative gave him the original dosage without Trier knowing? What kind of relative would do that? (The NCAA found Alonzo hadnât taken it intentionally.)
JRE visits AZ and KU shouldnât be worried? Ayton says hello! đ
Look, I know Silvio had a very good game Monday. But itâs just one game. Hopefully, he plays (and well) Saturday. But letâs pump the brakes here until he shows consistency. One game may be an anomaly, two games is making strides but three good games in a row? Thatâs a great trend!
I really want the kid to do well, but some will try to bury him if he doesnât play up to Mondayâs level. Just go with what he can give KU. Heâs a great kid!
Is OSU a trap game for Tech? Perhaps they arenât up for it, considering the game a âgimmeâ?
@BShark, thatâs what I thought. However, isnât Grahamâs best shot at the pro level as a PG, not shooting guard?
@Kcmatt7 , if Sexton were at KU, what position? Isnât he PG at Alabama?
@Crimsonorblue22 , where does KP have UT, TCU and Baylor?
OU loses Young after this season. Whatâs in the hopper for them? Will they play team basketball again?
But, but, but.... who won on the âplay hardâ chart?

@jaybate-1.0 KUAA is doing what they can to try and keep the person from screwing this up and there is a lot of frustration that the person in question isn't quite grasping to magnitude of what he's trying to do and the impact it could have.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Your comment is present tense. Are you talking about the Preston situation and thereâs a smoking gun? Or is another player potentially jeopardized?

We start 4 shooters...
It seems more like 2-3. It doesnât seem like Vick and Newman can get hot on the same night. Other nights, neither are hot. If we can get all 4 hot in a big game? Well, lock the door, mama!
Anyone else see Acuil and another Baylor big guarding the 3 pt line? It really bothered Graham and Svi...
Because Vick and Garrett are non-factors on the offensive end, teams concentrate on Graham, Svi and Doke. Until recently, they didnât need to bother with Newman. Teams arenât guarding Garrett at all,outside, daring him to shoot. Vick seems to have the yips. It was a tough second half on the offensive end.
KU is used to being on top, used to being the target, used to winning. Until other Big12 programs lose that fear and anxiety, the ROAD goes through Lawrence....
WVU should suspend both players for Monday night. Waiting for the Big 12 to act means they want these players for THE game Monday, thatâs all. They were wrong, no ifâs, andâs or butâs about it.
Doke has two issues out of his control.
He has to be careful about fouling when the post is fed or rebounding. KU has no significant backup for him.
The 3âs cause long rebounds in many cases and are out of his reach.
I know he is working on his rebounding game, but sometimes he just has to watch.
Just IMHO....

Tweet: Regarding KU's case. Nearing end of investigation, simply waiting on last few items to be returned to us. Will have decision soon.
Rinse and repeat daily......
@Jayballer54 ,@ beddieKU23
Perhaps it's like those information websites or Facebook teasers where you click 75 times, only to discover there's nothing there......
There are articles and comments today regarding the âfunâthe team was having. Newman had 8 points in the 1st 6 or so minutes and opened up his personality. Svi was his usual âall businessâ demeanor. Doke never smiles, like this is a lot of work! Looks like DevontĂŠ tries to have fun but carries the weight of the team on his shoulders. From a (very) high level, the team looks really stressed. Can HCBS get these guys to have fun yet play efficiently? Personally, Iâd like to see more smiles and arm waving.
Michigan State wonât play another Top 20 team until Purdue on 2/10. I look for MSU to recover the top spot soon. This year, Top 10 teams are falling left and tight.
Even Vitale is on the #FreeBilly cause now. It would be awesome to hear something Monday so he and Silvio can get minutes against lowly Iowa State...
Hopefully, someone else can run the point for a lot of minutes vs Iowa State. Rest for all the weary - Let Mitch, Malik, Sam and others get the majority of the minutes!
If Mitch is a âstretch 4â, and with (potentially) 3 big men, it seems he would take minutes from Vick. On those nights where Vick disappears (ala TCU), the offense & defense could morph into something totally different, giving KU a huge front line. Do you think Mitch has the foot speed for short periods at the 3-spot?
So despite my pessimism coming into the game (crow served well done, please), KU was the only Big 12 team to win on the road today. Outstanding!
Can Malik Newman just sit out the rest of the game?
@drgnslayr , your âpatheticâ comment made me think. KU has players with athleticism, but playing in a pathetic manner. Hhmmm... âpatheticismâ?
WKU commit Moustapha Diagne has waited 15 weeks to have his amateurism status verified. He still isnât cleared. Also from Africa, he was a former UConn commit. 15 weeks! Beginning to wonder if Silvio will see the court at all this year???
80-68, Frogs. Confidence is ebbing......
Bushmills Irish Red whisky, liberally applied during the 1st half....
This afternoon, Self stated Silvio wonât practice until tomorrow and likely wonât play before the first weekend in January. That means he misses UT on the road and Tx Tech at home. Itâs possible KU is 1-1 by the time he sees the court, although beating UT on the road and Tech (at home) is a distinct possibility. He would be available for TCU on the road. #FREEBILLY!
@BeddieKU23 - agreed. Bamba is something like 3 of 19 from 3 point land this year. Leave him out there...
I read in a KC Star article that HCBS said the NCAA eligibility offices are closed next week and reopen Jan 3. If true, KU needs to hear by Friday or wait?
@approxinfinity
Happy Birthday! Party hearty!
So. Cunliffe becomes eligible against Nebraska and, after practicing a full year with the Jayhawks, plays two minutes. TWO!
The football player turned basketball big has yet to see the floor.
I have little hope that either Silvio or Billy will impact this years club.
HCBS has his rotation and it will be tough to crack....
Maybe Cunliffe AND Sosinski tomorrow? A Brave New World! And if KU gets good news on the ACT or Billy fronts, an early Christmas! Call me a dreamer....
