Landry Shamet and Others • Mar 05, 2018 02:52 AM

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....

Bracketology thread for the next few weeks. • Mar 05, 2018 02:46 AM

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 can’t “follow the money” where banking laws won’t let it happen. Not knowledgeable about these things, but I’ve heard that money handled this way is virtually untraceable. I’m not sure how family would access it because you can’t hide a transfer to your own account. I’d bet attorneys could find a way to make the money useful though...

Remember When? • Feb 28, 2018 02:09 AM

@nuleafjhawk - I’m not one to worry about that stuff. Just wanted to clarify. Good post!

Remember When? • Feb 27, 2018 10:34 PM

Winning the Big 12 regular season, you mean? Not meaning to criticize.....

Dooley @ FGCU • Feb 26, 2018 02:53 PM

@mayjay - awesome! Ticket prices would be astronomical!

Road trip! Get the keys!

Davis out tonight, too. Shaka must not want to vacate any wins! 🙄

WVU currently a 7 pt favorite over Tech tonight...

UCLA record goes down • Feb 26, 2018 04:49 AM

Charlie Moore has apparently been flying well below the radar. At 5’11”, 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?

Dooley @ FGCU • Feb 26, 2018 12:20 AM

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 didn’t Miller pay 100 grand for a point guard??? Freakin idiot. 😂

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 Jackson’s mom was getting significant amounts of money from UA and Adidas.

About 2/3 of the way down.

Thoughts?

Allonzo Trier • Feb 23, 2018 05:04 AM

One of the articles on Trier said he hadn’t “hydrated” 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 hadn’t taken it intentionally.)

2019 Recruiting • Feb 22, 2018 05:00 PM

JRE visits AZ and KU shouldn’t be worried? Ayton says hello! 🙄

SILVIO!!! • Feb 21, 2018 06:54 AM

Look, I know Silvio had a very good game Monday. But it’s just one game. Hopefully, he plays (and well) Saturday. But let’s 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? That’s a great trend!

I really want the kid to do well, but some will try to bury him if he doesn’t play up to Monday’s level. Just go with what he can give KU. He’s a great kid!

Keenan Evans is day to day • Feb 20, 2018 07:58 PM

Is OSU a trap game for Tech? Perhaps they aren’t up for it, considering the game a “gimme”?

Recruiting Thread • Feb 20, 2018 07:50 PM

@BShark, that’s what I thought. However, isn’t Graham’s best shot at the pro level as a PG, not shooting guard?

Recruiting Thread • Feb 20, 2018 07:45 PM

@Kcmatt7 , if Sexton were at KU, what position? Isn’t he PG at Alabama?

@Crimsonorblue22 , where does KP have UT, TCU and Baylor?

Games today • Feb 17, 2018 08:37 PM

OU loses Young after this season. What’s in the hopper for them? Will they play team basketball again?

AMAZING THINGS DONT HAPPEN IN THAT PURPLE DUMP • Jan 30, 2018 06:24 AM

But, but, but.... who won on the “play hard” chart?

Preston Gone • Jan 21, 2018 04:14 PM

Texas Hawk 10 said:

@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 there’s a smoking gun? Or is another player potentially jeopardized?

Sam Cunliffe: MIA • Jan 21, 2018 04:08 PM

BShark said:

We start 4 shooters...

It seems more like 2-3. It doesn’t 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!

Breaking: Scot Drew Also Loves KU, Gifts Win • Jan 21, 2018 04:33 AM

Anyone else see Acuil and another Baylor big guarding the 3 pt line? It really bothered Graham and Svi...

Post your Quick thoughts on game • Jan 21, 2018 04:28 AM

Because Vick and Garrett are non-factors on the offensive end, teams concentrate on Graham, Svi and Doke. Until recently, they didn’t need to bother with Newman. Teams aren’t 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.

Stupid Longhorn Network • Jan 18, 2018 03:20 AM

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 player punches TT fan • Jan 15, 2018 05:59 AM

WVU should suspend both players for Monday night. Waiting for the Big 12 to act means they want these players for THE game Monday, that’s all. They were wrong, no if’s, and’s or but’s about it.

Iowa State Cyclones - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN2 • Jan 11, 2018 01:33 AM

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 3’s 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....

No NEWS! Per Bill Self • Jan 10, 2018 10:55 PM

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......

Who's playing in #14 uni? • Jan 10, 2018 06:31 PM

There are articles and comments today regarding the “fun”the team was having. Newman had 8 points in the 1st 6 or so minutes and opened up his personality. Svi was his usual “all business” demeanor. Doke never smiles, like this is a lot of work! Looks like Devonté 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, I’d like to see more smiles and arm waving.

An Awesome Saturday • Jan 08, 2018 12:12 AM

Michigan State won’t 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.

Hmmm wondering • Jan 07, 2018 11:24 PM

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!

His name is Mitch. • Jan 07, 2018 04:21 PM

If Mitch is a “stretch 4”, 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?

todays games • Jan 07, 2018 07:50 AM

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!

todays games • Jan 07, 2018 03:13 AM

Can Malik Newman just sit out the rest of the game?

Self's Worst Team at KU • Jan 06, 2018 06:59 PM

@drgnslayr , your “pathetic” comment made me think. KU has players with athleticism, but playing in a pathetic manner. Hhmmm... “patheticism”?

Is NCAA Biased Against KU • Jan 06, 2018 06:56 PM

WKU commit Moustapha Diagne has waited 15 weeks to have his amateurism status verified. He still isn’t 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....

Silvio is cleared! • Dec 27, 2017 02:17 AM

This afternoon, Self stated Silvio won’t practice until tomorrow and likely won’t play before the first weekend in January. That means he misses UT on the road and Tx Tech at home. It’s 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!

TEAM CHECKUP SCHEDULED: JANUARY 6 to 9, 2018 • Dec 24, 2017 07:06 AM

@BeddieKU23 - agreed. Bamba is something like 3 of 19 from 3 point land this year. Leave him out there...

So nothing yet? • Dec 21, 2017 04:22 AM

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?

Frank Mason: NBA Starter • Dec 20, 2017 08:53 PM

@approxinfinity
Happy Birthday! Party hearty!

So nothing yet? • Dec 18, 2017 12:32 AM

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....

Do we end the losing streak tomm? • Dec 15, 2017 05:51 PM

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....
