@mayjay

KU has a much better exhibit that includes arguable the most important document in all of basketball and we don't call it .... a “spectacular interactive exhibit.”

I believe the point is how silly it all looks considering that many schools have comparable or better exhibits.

Is Every Day the Day and Not the Day? • Jan 14, 2018 09:39 PM

@BShark

Based on the bits and pieces that came out in the last few days, sounds like it goes deeper than we though. Not optimistic he will play at all this year which is too bad since he would have contributed the most.

@MoonwalkMafia

Playing catch-up with KU? “spectacular interactive exhibit” they sure are full of themselves.

@mayjay

Hawaii called, they said...really? Tell us all about it. :smile:

@Gunman

The 5 minutes would be great, the 5 fouls not so much as they get the other team to the bonus situation that much sooner which is not a desirable thing.

WVU player punches TT fan • Jan 14, 2018 07:20 PM

@mayjay

I disagree. Look at the replay of any WVU game...remember when Chalmers was practically molested by two MU players in Columbia and a foul not called and how we complained about it? The same play is repeated time after time by WVU players and a foul is seldom called even when the rules are considerably more strict now. Look at how they often have their hands on the back of the opposing players and yet, no foul called.

There is zero doubt in my mind that WVU does not get called for nearly all the fouls it should and the refs just call the more obvious ones and ignore the rest otherwise they would not have enough players to finish the game. No question that a lot of this is due to Huggins constantly berating the refs...the entire game, non stop. It does give WVU an unfair advantage any way yo see it.

@mayjay

Probably all of the above? :smile_cat:

WVU player punches TT fan • Jan 14, 2018 05:58 PM

Very hard to tell from the videos and easy to maybe take it out of context but at first glance it looks like there was a security line of sorts between the crowd and the players and a couple of players were outside that line, perhaps starters coming back to the bench and one of them is the one that punched the fan that seemed to accidentally bump into him (unlike the Jamari incident) as he ran into the court. Also, at least two other players jumped past the security line and shoved fans running to the court. Looks likes a lot of frustration on the part of the WVU players and maybe now they know how other players feel when they play them and get bumped a lot harder.

Saturday’s games • Jan 14, 2018 10:17 AM

@BShark

I agree. I said let’s wait until he finishes in the top half before we anoint him the next best thing. A 3 point win against Baylor is its only conference win, the rest are agains weak competition.

Today is the tomorrow that you dreamed of yesterday.

@Bwag

The thing with the press is that if you can beat it quickly you end up with an easy shot at the other end. The question is if we have the ball handlers to do it, Devonte probably can but Malik and Garret will have to have big games for KU to win.

@approxinfinity

Mason is a freak athlete and a strong one as well so he could elevate, absorb the foul and finish/score; we don’t have anyone in the current team capable of doing the same thing.

Izzo: RUH-ROH • Jan 14, 2018 08:51 AM

@BShark

Izzo has been coaching Division 1 for 23 years and Coach Self for 25; however, all of 23 years of a Izzo were/are at MSU where he was promoted after being an Assistant Coach while Coach Self spent 7 years at Oral Roberts and Tulsa before joining Illinois. In short, Izzo has a 6 year advantage at major programs so, given the time differential, Coach Self’s record is probably better.

The conference race • Jan 14, 2018 04:05 AM

@cragarhawk

It is critical to hold serve at home and KU is 1 game down already, any road win against the other top teams would be huge.

New Dynamics on the Court • Jan 14, 2018 03:28 AM

@HighEliteMajor

At this point KU is a good team not a great team. Great teams have a decent margin of error and can win even when playing below par, this team’s margin of error is razor thin and an average game wil not cut it against the better teams.

Breaking News: Bruce Weber Loves KU, Gifts Win • Jan 14, 2018 02:58 AM

@kjayhawks

Like I said, he can’t recruit but he does ok with the players he has; he always manages to play KU tough. I don’t have an issue with his coaching, I have one with his personality and that annoying voice of his...worse than nails on a blackboard.

Breaking News: Bruce Weber Loves KU, Gifts Win • Jan 14, 2018 02:46 AM

Weber is not a bad coach, he cannot recruit or keep players but he can coach; however, when he says stuff like this he sounds like a whining little beotch. I don’t believe his issue is losing to KU, his issue is losing to Self.

New Dynamics on the Court • Jan 14, 2018 02:26 AM

@cragarhawk

A win Monday and KU is back in control.

Silvio • Jan 14, 2018 02:24 AM

The conference is getting interesting and Silvio could be the Difference towards the end of the season. Not that he would be a big contributor but he would provide valuable minutes not available up to now.
I notice Malik brought up the ball several times, hopefully Devonte can get some rest although likely not in Morgantown...unless the game is out of hand either way.

New Dynamics on the Court • Jan 14, 2018 02:01 AM

@truehawk93

KU is unbeaten on the road; I almost prefer playing on the road.

A couple of weeks ago he was a genius according to some posters...what difference a few games make.😎

4 way tie for first...

Saturday’s games • Jan 13, 2018 09:26 PM

Down goes WVU and we have have a 4 way tie for first like I posted we might.

Silvio • Jan 13, 2018 09:19 PM

Welcome to the big time, Silvio; 4 minutes, 1 TO, 1 PF. Don’t despair, it will get better and the Jayhawk Nation is behind you.

New Dynamics on the Court • Jan 13, 2018 05:54 PM

Two bad turnovers in the last minute of the half.

Hosmer to Padres? • Jan 13, 2018 05:34 PM

Can we just say that 3rd base is the optimal position for Moose and, based on his athleticism and natural ability, he could play other positions effectively including 1st base?

@Jayballer54

I think they already heard it from me above. :smiley:

Kansas State Wildcats - Saturday - 11am - ESPN • Jan 13, 2018 06:07 AM

@kjayhawks

It would be silly of them to try to use the loss at AFH considering KU also beat them at Bramlage one month later.

A horse walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender gets him the beer and asks... why the long face?

I see KU pulling away and winning 82-70.

A blind rabbit and a blind snake run into each other and decide to guess what the other is by touching..

The snake goes first...soft fur, fluffy tail, floppy ears...you must be a bunny?

Well, yes says the bunny and now it is my turn. He start to feel the snake...slimy, low to the ground, no balls...YOU ARE CALIPARI!!!! cue rim shot . :smile:

There were three fathers to be in a hospital waiting room, waiting for their babies to be born.

The first nurse comes out and tells the first father, "Congratulations you're the father of twins!" He says, “Great! I am the manager for the Minnesota Twins."

The second nurse comes out and tells the second father, "Congratulations you're the father of triplets"! He says, "That's cool! I work for 3M."

The third father opens the window and jumps out.

The third nurse comes out, and asks, “Where's the third father?"

One of the other fathers said, "Oh he jumped out the window."

The nurse asks, "Why?"

He replied, "He works for Seven Up!"

In other NBA news...The Cavs in complete meltdown having lost 6 of 8 games since Christmas, the last two by 28 to the Wolves and by 34 to the Raptors and they do have Isaiah Thomas back at full strength. Warriors and Celtics appear to be the top two teams.

Embiid on track to be a starter t the NBA All-Star game.:smile:

NBA game to watch this evening: Warrior vs. Bucks, Durant vs. the Greek Freak.

That's all I got.

I don't believe you can use a depreciated value, you have to use the value of the benefit at the time of the infraction.

That we can agree on.
