I’m pretty much over Juan. I’m not seeing leadership and he won’t shoot. He was wide open most of the night for 3’s. Maybe is just frustation from this game but egads, folks…

Juan is wide open and refuses to shoot. UCF sags off him.
That UCF zone is killer!
Wow!
Can’t find much video on their arena. Found this on Wikipedia, though.
“ The arena is 252,000 square feet and boasts a capacity of over 9,400 for basketball, and has 17 luxury suites. As of January 2022, the attendance record for the arena is 10,011, the arena's first and only ever sellout crowd, for a March 22, 2017 NIT Quarterfinals matchup with the Illinois Fighting Illini.”
3 of the 4 newcomers to the Big12 lost tonight. The other one plays KU tomorrow. ✔️
ISU wins the last 36 seconds and the game! Welcome to the Big12, Cougs.
ISU and Houston tied. It’s now a 36 second game.
Mikey Williams at Memphis is in the portal now. Trouble with a capital “T”.
Hope we can hold on to these guys. It’s awful early.
Different question. Who were the 3 TCU male fans the TV kept showing? Big guys. Apparently they had seats in an upper corner.
Looks like UCF will start their Big12 membership 0-5. Being blown out by K-State tonight, followed by games against 4 Top 25 Big12 teams. KU @ UCF Wednesday. It will be a nice respite from the cold for KU men.
@kjayhawks - Awesome! Everyone will have a great time!
Watching the Indiana @ Nebraska game. Hoiberg has them playing well!
A quick review of the Big12 teams records seems to indicate most members are playing lower rated teams. Houston has scheduled that way forever but it looks to be prevalent now. Most Big12 teams have great W/L records but opponents have been weaker. When playing against ranked opponents, their record is poor. #3 Houston has yet to play a ranked opponent, but faces KU, K-State, BYU and Texas in consecutive games later this month. #18 Baylor lost to the only ranked opponent they played (Duke). #11 OU lost to UNC at home, with no other ranked teams on their schedule for pre-season. #12 BYU lost only to unranked Utah away but beat #17 SD State.
It should be interesting as the season progresses, but we all know KU is circled on their schedules.
OL is weak.
Not pertinent to KU football, but “I can’t stop laughing!”

@nuleafjhawk - I agree. Las Vegas is trash. Expensive trash, but still trash.
Anyone hearing anything definitive about Cobee Bryant staying, transferring or going pro? He was to announce when his YouTube page hit 3,500 and it’s now 4,000+. Still crickets…
@Crimsonorblue22 - thanks! Looks like it worked!
Zuby Ejiofor at St John’s is not starting but getting almost 11 minutes per game. Averaging 4.0 pts, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Also, 2 fouls and 0.7 turnovers per game.
@dylans - 6pts, 4 rebounds 2 assists in 17 min. Looked slow and was beat offf the dribble several times when forced to guard outside. Dixon keeps starting him although his backup looks pretty good. And O’Bannon had 25 off the bench.
Watching TCU vs Old Dominion in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic. Udeh is again getting significant playing time.
@dylans - I’m really glad KU isn’t playing the standard road game just before Christmas. Seems like KU has lost several against lesser teams.
IIRC, the team could play for player’s flights to home towns after such a road game. I suppose with the advent of NIL money, it’s no longer a big deal.
Marquette struggling with Providence tonight. Both 9-2 coming in. Marquette down 14 at the under 8 timeout.
@nuleafjhawk - drink and food prices are better too!
Hope he comes back!
@jayballer67 - good find. Sad.
I’m beginning g to wonder if Toney might have smaller hands, leading to difficulty catching the ball. Just a thought.
Two years ago. I don’t believe it did last year. This year, UK has three 7 footers. I believe one is injured, 1 isn’t cleared and 1 is ineffective. So there’s that.
None of UK, Duke or UCLA like to play through their centers.
Gage Keys is entering the portal as a graduate transfer. He played in all the games and has a high number of snaps. Thoughts?
@nuleafjhawk - nothing mo’ money can’t fix. Until there isn’t any more. Greed & money are the roots of evil…
@approxinfinity said in Sho-me-the-money Ohtani:
Money isnt everything?
It fixes a lot of problems….
It sure where to put this, but Iowa State TE Deshawn Hanika is transferring to KU. He was involved in the gambling issue at ISU. 6’6”, 225.
And the Dodgers still have very little pitching. Not the best use of resources IMO.
K-State won again. 8-2. 🤔
Saw this comment today:
“Furphy showed KC he was the biggest Roo on the court.” Too funny!
-FAU & Illinois in a tight game with 15:00 left.
-George Mason is getting schooled by Tennessee.
- K-State up on Villanova by at halftime.
Love that it’s being done at a Fizzou game!
@wissox said in 2023-2024 Statistics:
@benshawks08 Houston, who's beaten nobody of great significance, is #1 in the net because they beat bad teams really well I guess.
That appears to be their philosophy every year. Load up on low to mediocre teams early which gives them a chance to refine their offense/defense and create confidence. Seems to have worked pretty well for them. This year, the Big 12 will be a lot tougher route. We shall see.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Other bball games:
Wisconsin currently bitch slapping Marquette.
Wisconsin does not look overly athletic.
Wondering if the KU-MU game was just a weird one off? How the hell…confused.
I believe Shaka had his team pumped up from the get-go with a chip on their shoulder. KU didn’t, unfortunately. We’ll see over the long run, as Marquette has Texas up next, with 2 league games each against UConn, Creighton and Villanova. No other ranked teams on their schedule at this point.
@jayballer67 - down goes Duke, 80-75. They almost came back all the way.
@BShark - there was a rumor a European shooter could be added for 2nd semester?
@FarmerJayhawk - Wow! Very impressive on many levels!
Hate to lose AK! If so, what does LL have in his pocket? He had to know this could be coming.
@Crimsonorblue22 - I hadn’t seen that anywhere. Link?
Ima feared a this game! In Europe for the rest of the week. Waking up at 4:30AM & 5:30AM to see scores really puts a damper on the next day!
