I see the refs are going to make sure Nowell & Johnson have great games since they played like warm Dog Doo Saturday

We have to stop their drives before they get to the rim.

Which one? It looks like the last 2 he got whacked.

@drgnslayr

Hasn't been a recent problem but one I fear every game none the less.

Lately I've feared KJ getting in foul trouble or teams trying to guard him differently. We've seen Jalen, Gradey & Juan guarded a certain way but not KJ.

At some point there's only so much a team can do to stop a legit 5 man roster with potential scorers at every spot. Kevin may be the only one you can really lay off of at this point, and he still isn't shy shooting it so it could back fire real quick. And even if a team gets really good at denying individuals, that's when having the best coach in the country will turn up in drawing up sets and getting the team into an offense that creates good looks. Saw we rank #2 in the nation on the shot quality rankings, meaning we take good shots better than almost everyone (Purdue was #1).

In order to take away one player, you have to sacrifice somewhere else. That's why we just keep winning games even if they are ugly. Eventually, taking good shots over and over and over again wins out.

Good stuff. I'd like to see Juan step it up this game...make Nowell work on the defensive end.

Last year's game at the Octagon of Crop Judgers- waving bye to the crowd:

This team may be my favorite ever • Jan 17, 2023 04:26 PM

27-1 in our last 28. Another national championship in hand. Ranked 2nd in the nation. We lose 4 studs from last year, and new studs come in and fill in admirably. We have extended our all time win total to 9 games over Tucky, after catching them last year . We've routed Missourah the last 2 years. No wonder our critics are crying so much.

@drgnslayr said in Tang Press Conference about KU Game:

Tang reminds me of the class of Jack Hartman. I loved those rival days. The rivalry was about the games, not the jackass fans. Keep it to basketball.

I used to love Jack Hartman as a kid. He was a great coach.

The next 8 games • Jan 17, 2023 02:21 PM

It certainly helps being 17-1. There are only 3 ranked teams in college basketball right now with 1 loss, and there are 3 teams in this week's AP rankings with 5 losses. I can easily see us 6-2 in the next 8, if not better.

@jayballer67 don’t waste your time jethro can’t pontificate on basketball worth a 2 dollar bill.

Be careful your gonna get called a troll or mr hat because you are actually watching the games with two eyes rather than box score analyzing and saying “we won what is there to worry?”

Ahhh...it might have something to do with the fact we won the national championship last year, and we're 27-1 in our last 28 games. Your Bill Self criticisms are arrogant and laughable. You're only here to muck rake- we all know that, Mr. Hat.

Let's talk Iowa St • Jan 16, 2023 09:59 AM

@jayballer67 My apologies, my friend. I was trying to respond to the troll, and I ended up responding to you on accident. I believe every caution you listed. But, I think K-State is much less adept at defense than an Iowa St. I don't think they have the ability to stop us. I do think our plan is to pressure Nowell 94 feet. I think it will be tough, but I think we come out on top.

@kuballin10 said in Let's talk Iowa St:

@jayballer67 I agree that place will be rocking for their super bowl. Good game for Kevin to get out of his funk and Juan to take it personal with Nowell.

Not sure what @Jethro’s deal is he’s adding as much to the board as cardboard with these takes. Somehow it’s personal with the “yours not so much” as if you don’t 100% believe we will win every game you aren’t a true fan.

At least come with a breakdown of what you @Jethro think will happen not some three sentence snarky comment; so irritated as if you made fun of your golden child

There’s people who discuss basketball and then there’s @Jethro

I don't take your criticisms of our team, our coach, and our players seriously, Mr. Hat. I don't take trolls seriously. Not this name, or the other names you use. I know we live inside your head rent free 100% of the time. Let's make a deal- you keep complaining, and we'll keep winning.

@kuballin10 said in Let's talk Iowa St:

@Jethro bill will look at the tape and if his reasoning for that lineup was to take care of the ball hopefully he will see the did the opposite and gave up the lead in the first half

We keep eeking out these wins at home, I’m curious to see how we fair in legit road games. As Bill said of the 4-0 teams we by far have had the easiest schedule.

K-State got murdered on Saturday. Same with Missourah. What sorry programs they both have.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I thought we didn’t turn it over then when we went to that lineup we did.

It’s so bad offensively we hardly get any quality shots even though we don’t turn it over

Who won?

Let's talk Iowa St • Jan 14, 2023 12:41 PM

This is a real good game for us to get back to playing great defense. Kind of feel we haven't played with the defensive intensity recently that we showed in non-conf.

The OU game was the worst. We never stopped them. Clones have a crummy offense, so we should be able to shut them down. Now, can we score on them? Their defense is rated 6th in def eff on Kenpom, while we're 14th.

I admit I haven't watched them but a few minutes here and there. I always find them to be boring, and their coach always wears clothes that are about two sizes too small. I can't put my finger on it, but I find their team to be annoying. I'm torn between wanting them to win to remain relevant for the sake of the conference ( when they aren't playing us), or wanting them to get their ass kicked .

The 125th year celebration results in a nice win for us, as we begin our quest to knock down the pretenders, and assert our dominance. I'm saying we win 69-57.

Time to develop a chip on the shoulder. For the so called world wide leader to have a Mid Season review and barely mention KU is egregious, slanderous, outrageous, preposterous, ridiculous, and....just plain stupidous. Ignore KU at your own peril. (2 writers mention KU as a FF pick, most pick Jalen as an AA, but that's really it in the mentions, even in the section on the Big 12)

Our defense must improve, or we're going to lose. I think we have a thinner margin than what some think, including our players.

Well, I don’t have the guts to read the 400 posts above. Anybody have one nice thing to say? If so, what was the one nice thing? :)

It doesn’t get much worse than that. 21 bunnies missed.

Not a single bucket scored from what, 17 min mark to 5 min mark?

The worst part: Oklahoma players just don’t pass the eyeball test. If we’d a lost to that unathletic bunch of gypsies I’d be pissed!
