@approxinfinity - unless they rain 3’s. 🏀🤬 11 for 34 last night, 32%.

Looks like Shaka Smart has another crack at Kansas…

Gonzaga up on Purdue at half, 35-30. Lead had been bigger. Edey @ 15 with half Purdue’s points. 7-8 at the line though. Gonzaga playing physical with him.

I’m thinking KJ may make games 2 & 3, then head home for a funeral and family.

Edit: I’d think he would return in time for the UConn game 12/2.

LL
May roll the dice with this year’s freshman QB, with JD as backup? Kid looked pretty good and with another year?

Mgbako had 2 points in the Indiana loss. Played 23 minutes.

K-State down 19 to Miami at the half, 47-28

So. Damn. Frustrating!

14 Arkansas goes down to UNCG, 78-72.

Condolences and prayers for the family. Tough time for KJ.

@kuballin10 - OK.

Anyone know what Reeves said to DaJuan that lit the fire?

Well, heck. I’m overseas and 6 hours ahead. Lost a LOT of sleep tonight, but well worth it. Couldn’t watch so I’ll have to find it when we return!

@wissox said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:

Bad day for da BIG. Illinois loses, Wisconsin loses, Iowa loses, MSU loses, and its biggest star leads KU to a stirring victory.

Ouch… well played!

I didn’t realize Tristan Enaruna had transferred to Cleveland State. Glad he’s doing well.

Frustrated. So many injuries, dating back to TCU in 2021. KU can’t catch a break. Few teams have adequate QB depth, although KU’s 3rd string looked decent. 😢

It’s great to be a KUFan! Upsides everywhere!

@BShark - Apparently Zuby was 2nd off the bench but has only one assist at the half. No shots, fouls or FT.

@patoh3 - probably waiting on the NCAA waiver. Don’t know yet if he’s eligible to play?

Michigan State goes down 79-76 in OT. Ranked #4.

@Crimsonorblue22 - Udeh did start. 12 minutes, 0 pts, 2 rebounds, 0 assists.

Oklahoma State down to Abilene Christian by 11 at the half, 25-36. 😵‍💫

@approxinfinity - St John’s plays tomorrow night. Udeh has 2 pts at the half for TCU. Dunno about the minutes.

CORXN: Udeh has 0 pts at half time.

Keep it coming, especially Udeh & Eliofor.

Timberlake didn’t start. 🤔

I hope to see Furphy tonight! We won’t be able to watch (thank you ESPN+) so I’ll be checking via the internet. Is some KC station carrying the game?

I don’t believe HCBS will want a total blowout. After a big lead, he’ll start experimenting with lineups. Everyone gets playing time!

Dotson had the pick 6?

Awesome game! Great play by the offense at the end seemed to inflate the defense. Anyone hurt today?

Offense needs to sustain a drive now. Big Mo is all on ISU side.

Team looks tired

I was hoping Juan would be more aggressive on the offensive end. Didn’t see it or hear about it at all. Thoughts?

Gotta tell ya, I’m disappointed in the outcome of the exhibition game. I thought Juan would play better. Timberlake did little. Missed free throws again. I’m losing my hope for the Maui classic and not thinking g the Kentucky game will be a win. I hope I’m wrong but HCBS has a lot of work to do.

What am I missing?

So - NOT #1? I wasn’t able to watch the game. From the comments, HD is not the guy, KJ can’t screen it shoot, no one else stepped up and KU lost?

@Gorilla72 said in Interesting Games Today?:

UCF up 6 over OU with 13 minutes left. Generally outplaying OU.

This didn’t age well. 🥸

Can we lock this thread or move it to politics? It’s off the rails.

Take it to the politics board or another site. Not here, please.

Gotta tell ya, I’m not sold on Hunter being a “banger” down low. Seems like he likes to float away from the basket. HCBS loves the inside physicality and intimidation a big guy can provide. Maybe KJ can help with that when HD goes high post, but I believe this will be a different type of team. I trust Self to find a way to make it work.

Just my opinion based on limited games.

McNeely chose Indiana. Shocked. 😉

Looks like KU is going to have trouble with those swing passes.

Who was taking backup snaps this week, in case Bean goes down?

KU currently a 3 pt favorite.

@Texas-Hawk-10 - just looking for clarification. I understood and remember all that stuff.

Are we sure Silvio is “Player 1” and not Billy Preston?

@PharmacyHawk - indeed!

@Crimsonorblue22 - that’s what I read on the SI site. No penalties on coaches.

I’m guessing two major wars are enough for the NCAA to try to hide these headlines?

Hearing Jets Mercole Hardman may be on the market. Would be a nice addition.

Team looked great today behind Bean! Giving him reps with 1st string and letting him know he would start appears huge now. Also, thanks to the O-Line!

@wissox - I’m more of a YouTube guy.
