@jaybate-1.0 said ' Never apologize or fear the truth.

EVER!'

I agree 100%, but l fear my wife.

@jaybate-1.0 WVU defense is their offense and like in the NCAA tourney they have lost early rounds because they got fouls called on them. Bilas even commented about lack of an offense.

@jaybate-1.0 They got tired and missed a few opportunities. And the final dagger in the heart came when Huggy said 'Boys it's up to you, I don't know what else to do.' Now l've done a little coaching in my day and would never say that to any team, even if it was true.

@jaybate-1.0 This reminded me of several times my wife would see something I posted or shared on Facebook and said you'd better get that off or you'll be sorry.

@jaybate-1.0 No but the fans might be waiting outside the lockeroom .

@HawkChamp THIS IS WHY WE LOVE OUR JAYHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Kcmatt7 Let know where to send my check! I'll chip in!!!!

@JayHawkFanToo And Doke on the bench for fouls. A stare and drag down.

Jumpstop!

@Kcmatt7 Agreed.

@Fightsongwriter Almost made a post myself when l saw that headline. Another issue l have with his reporting, even moreso than headlines, is his wording about our coach and our players from time to time. I have to look at what site l'm viewing to make sure it's not one of KU's foes by mistake. Does he have issues with Self or does he think that will create more readers? And the stogie pose?

@BeddieKU23 That's like a free pass to get out of jail in monopoly. If the home court fans decide to celebrate or congregate on the floor after a game opposing team players (and maybe coaches and managers) get to deck one fan before they will be held accountable above public reprimand.

@jaybate-1.0 And Huggy with a big fine of 25 grand.

@Gorilla72 They won't and will say they want to take the conference punishment. Beat KU tonight with the two violaters and set them against two other teams they can beat without the bullies.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Is there a rule that states fans can't go on the court following a game?

@kjayhawks Should they put a message on the scoreboard to fans blinking---- Wait---Wait---- Wait--- Not Yet--- Not Yet---- Get Ready--- Get Ready-----Simon Says Go--- Make Idiots of Yourselves--- Way to Go Fans, You make us Proud!!

@REHawk At this point, he might just be those 5 fouls we talked about early in the season that we needed from someone.

Those 5 fouls/5minutes are huge right now. May be the difference in a loss or win more than once for the rest of the year.

@approxinfinity You got me with the hyperbole. Would you say HOF Huggins style of play is what fans love?

@dylans He looked like he was giving it his all. Running around in circles l attribute to Silvio trying to play help defense. Better moving around then standing 'like a deer in the headlights', right?

@stoptheflop The fan got the worse end of that contact by a long shot.

@approxinfinity I find it hard to root against a single player unless they tend to be out of control--- Grayson Allen, etc.
What l do dislike are teams such as WVU that rely on fouling to win. Let me expound. If college basketball was a non contact sport (which l think it was introduced with that in mind) the Brokeback Mountaineers wouldn't be ranked and would be at the bottom of the Big 12 instead of where they are.

@chriz He took Little Rock University to the NCAA tournament in 2016.

@Gunman As much as he is on the court during play l can see one of NBA studs running over him; accidently of course. And as the television cameras zoom in on his crumpled body he's crying loudly 'WHY ME' like Nancy Kerrigan. lol

@kjayhawks X's and O's yes.High baskeball IQ, okay. Just can't quite picture Bruce Almighty is getting a whole lot of NBA inquiries. Been wrong before, just saying.

@JayHawkFanToo I agree totally with you about Weber as a coach. I hope he stays coaching the kitties until he is as old as Snyder.

If he stays that long maybe they will rename their homecourt "Squeaky's Octagon of Dumb".

@dylans Really happy for Silvio. Sounds like he worked hard to get here early. Hope they raise the roof when he makes his first appearance!

@JayHawkFanToo Works for me. Don't care about Monday. Don't care about the NCAA issue. Don't care about anything but a victory over KSU, at least until 2 o'clock.

@chriz If they are playing for their future wouldn't that be against players/teams full court pressure wouldn't likely be very successful against?

@mayjay Thoughtful post. Prayers for all. Crappy Global Warming! lol

@approxinfinity Good timing for KSU and Huggy.

@BeddieKU23 5 twos+ 5 threes =25 points on 25 shots.
40% from the field. That might be how could he is.

@BShark Who's your source?

I don't recognize that guy.

@JayHawkFanToo My thoughts exactly.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Doke for a dunk and one!!!

@JayHawkFanToo Playing home and away in basketball is the true test for conference play, but still doesn't get you in the tourney by winning the league. Always felt if you won your league you should automatically qualify for the big dance.

@hawkmoon2020 I think we are in good shape

@JayHawkFanToo Awesome stat and that is a reflection on Bill. How much credit does he deserve?Don't know. Are Bill's numbers higher than any KU coach? Don't know that either. What I do know is for over 50 years I have never seen any team fight for victories harder than the Kansas Jayhawks!

@justanotherfan I agree with both statements. 'Clearer picture' is the problem We All struggle with. Especially in Preston's situation, what happened? We don't know the specifics and it drives us crazy because we Care.

@chriz Because they can and not get blackballed!!

@kjayhawks With six games left, why would a player give up a year of eligibility? Or at least l wouldn't fault their decision to not play.

@kjayhawks I wish more people would look at what we have rather than what could have been. If Preston had a season ending injury before the first game wouldn't most be satisfied with the record we have today?

Coaches are better, players are bigger, stronger, more athletic than even ten years ago. The playing field has leveled; look at what happened yesterday in the top 25.

All I expect of players is give 100%, listen to your coaches and be thankful you are a Jayhawk!

Doke played 13 minutes.Did we only win because we shot 55% threes? What I find most interesting is that with so little time the big guy was out there we only shot 20 threes.
Garrett reminds of Vick last year. I think they both go full blast and want to do whatever it takes for a W. I'm hopeful that Vick isn't a repeat of Seldon but if takes a while longer i see him putting out any way possible. Remember it took Perry a while. He looked slow, couldn't jump or finish, but we hated to lose him because his senior year you could count on him every game.
The announcers were astonished with Mitch-- short corner swish, a three and clutch freethrows. Sam gave a good 11 minutes-- a basket and 2 freethrows.
I'm still giving Malik the benefit of doubt--- injured, trying too hard.

Would we have a better record if Billy had played all season? Probably. Could this long drawn out investigation be a blessing? Yes, thanks NCAA!

Glad to see Sam contribute when on the court. Both he and Lightfoot were huge.

Doesn't KU lead the nation in number of first have minutes not televised due to previous televised contests?

@Jayballer54 Fran says it's ok to play No D for Trae

Good one mayjay; hand't heard it before.

Innocent until proven guilty. Isn't that what makes our country judicial system stand out?

@Texas-Hawk-10 No effort, not wanting it enough should upset Bill. Maybe he should take a page out of old Roy's gamebook and bench the starters? Wait a minute, do we even have 5 replacements?

@mayjay I wanted to put 'Same as presently' but figured not enough info. Second choice was 'Not until high school' but reckoned that to be too much info.
