I think KU fans are outnumbering Arkansas fans at least 5 to 1 from what I've seen around town at my hotel, the parade today, and the Suns/Grizzlies game tonight.
Too bad there aren't any KU players on either roster and Devin Booker is out injured. But I looking forward to seeing Ja Morant in person for the first time.
I always see or quite a bit anyways of Morant - -man can that guy flat ball. - -I feel baad but I don't even know where he played College ball, one heck of a player though
Murray St.
This team has a tremendous amount of momentum going into conference. Since that loss, we have won every game by an average margin of 24.4 ppg. I think we're built to win. The floor in conference is 14-4.
@drgnslayr We got football tomorrow.

@Woodrow Wait, what? She realized he’s her meal ticket and backed down. Shocker. It’s a no win for her. Not married so no alimony and I don’t know if she works or what she does, but I doubt it’s as lucrative a gig as her man. So she’s getting paid for the abuse and it’s ok (in Beard’s mind) because she keeps coming back.
Her choices are to support herself. - surprising how many can not or are unwilling to do this.
Or just put up with the abuse. - even more surprising how many are willing to do just this.Crazy when the better road has a hard beginning how many will chose the easy path.
There's no alimony in Texas. I'm sure she is receiving a nice amount to say all the things necessary to let the abuser off the hook.
Misery gets run by Wake Forest. Love it!
Hey there...Happy Holidays! I wanted to start a bowl thread for various and sundry bowl observations. Shout out to the Houston Coogs for winning the Independence bowl against Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. Word has come out that Bobby Boucher a.k.a. the Waterboy did not play in the bowl because his momma found out he was playing that foosball.
One of the world's great mysteries has apparently been solved :
Missourah is getting drilled 14-3. No wonder they ducked us.
Little known factoid that says alot: I guess where the Dook's basketball offices are set up, they have an entire floor for Coach Rat, and their new coach Scheyer has a little cubicle.
boom
Fran's son is a coach for Harvard.
gotta get kevin involved...
it's dropped down to 34 south of Houston...way too cold...
nice comeback, guys. let's start strong and put these rummies away...

its first since taking down Missouri nearly six years ago to the day on Dec. 16, 2016
Missouri is Power 5? 🤮
We did drop 2 spots in the rankings after humiliating them last week, so you might be on to something...
Well...Looky here:
"The win marked Eastern Illinois' fourth in program history over a Power Five opponent and its first since taking down Missouri nearly six years ago to the day on Dec. 16, 2016."
Frantastic!
Denver is 9-0 when Braun plays at least 20 minutes. Morant was 2 for 7 with 2 assts and 1 t.o. with Braun on him.
@dylans Morant still got 30, though.
@Gorilla72 said in Christian Braun:
Braun started tonight. 28 minutes, 13 points. Denver won by 14.
He was bullying Morant ...lol.
GREAT day for the SEC : Miss St loses to Drake, Wofford beats A & M, N Alabama beats Ole Miss.
Miami is punking Virginia right now.
@drgnslayr said in 2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc:
Stats are misleading. Heck... we should be starting Jank!
For the most part, Joe isn't passing the eye test. I'm not saying he shouldn't look for his shot... he should. Sometimes his stuff looks forced and it sticks out more when the rest of his team is playing like they are.
BTW: I'm a Joe fan!
I don't understand why they don't clear out a lane to the basket, and let him drive, drive drive. The dude is lightning quick.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc:
Right now KU has 4 starters good enough for First Team all Big 12.
From your lips to God's ears. Now that would be incredible.
@jayballer67 said in Do you think of possibility of ?:
Well I don't know who to believe anymore on this storm. - -Channel 13 - -or WIBW here in Topeka , the Weather guys just came on like 10 minutes ago and updated and the computer models are backing off the amount of snow some now- - now calling in general for anywhere from 1 -3 inches of snow in general for North Eastern Kansas.
If that turns out to be the case - -they MIGHT go ahead and try to play.
Yet right after I heard them say that , I turned to the National weather channel and they are still have us in a shade of blue on their map where will or they still predict we will get 3 -6 inches so who the hell knows?
Do we beleive local weather forcasters - -OR National ?
Down here in Houston, they are wrong every time. Yesterday was supposed to be from 4 to 10 inches of rain- i'll bet we didn't get an inch. I think they fib in order to get more viewership all the time.

@Jethro Not even a KSU grad like he claimed. Whole thing was a house of lies. Wild.
They say he was betting $10,000 parleys. You gotta rob alotta banks to keep up with that.

INSANE stuff today on Chiefs twitter wowwww.
Remember, Chiefaholic is a K-State fan. As well as a bank robber. With a wolf mask.

It’s honestly astounding that Gradey and McCullar have both been able to play that way so far.
It’s honestly astounding that Gradey and McCullar have both been able to play that way so far. So true.
People are forgetting that MJ has been hurt and missed a good chunk of practice. A little like Remy did last year. It's going to take some time before he gets it figured out. It wouldn't surprise me to see him have a break out game soon.

I know it's early, but I like this team way more than last years team at the same time. Tyler Hansborough called us out as the hottest team in the nation right now, and I agree. The team speed and quickness, the passing, the smart basketball decisions make this a formidable foe. Also, we replaced one clutch scorer ( Remy ) with another clutch scorer ( Dick ). And if Zuby can continue to make strides, along with KJ's breakout, I think we're set at the 5.
McCullar has 14 steals in his last 3 games. He's turning out to be an amazing pick up.
IU fans raving about the Phog experience. It just blew them away:
@mayjay said in Things just got worse for K/State in Bowl:
@jayballer67 @Jethro
To be fair, we tore the goalposts down for becoming bowl eligible, so do we have room to talk about their tour? I love our KU pride in basketball, but I cannot get any pleasure deriding KSU's superiority in football. If we had beaten them...well, that is a different story!I will cheer for KSU today, but I would cheer anyone, even Fizzou, playing Alabama. I hate them even more than I hated Ohio St under Woody "Whack-a-Player" Hayes. It is an enmity with no real source, too!
I should go back and post what they said about the goal posts- you might have a different attitude about them...lol. Their fav line is KU= lil bro. When you mention basketball, they suddenly don't care, and all of life revolves around football. All in good fun, though.

I stand by my pre-season prediction that UNC ain’t it! I still don’t know who is though lol
UConn. That's the list.
I hate the fact they're so good. Their fans are literally elevating them to heights unforseen in human history. We might as well hand them the title because Kenpom says so...lol.

@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Is right here. Self doesn't trust the bench beyond Bobby right now. Joe, sometimes out of necessity. Zuby flashed big time and earns more chances with how he played. Beyond that it's up to the players to play better in practice. Self usually has a good tune on who deserves to play.
I will say not playing Rice or Udeh when the game was well in hand was concerning.
Udeh is lost right now. Almost the 6'10'' version of Cuffe. I do think he can eventually be really good but we knew he would be a project. We will have to play a back-up big in most games (Missouri was a fairly special case).
Zuby was great. Not sure if it was a one off due to match ups or the start of something where he gets rotation minutes, but his athleticism is just off the charts.
@drgnslayr said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
No way I would consider myself capable to coach a successful D1 team. There must be reasons for it all, including why MJ isn't playing enough.
Perhaps Self is creating a situation where MJ wants PT more and more. Maybe it's a motivational reason.
Or... thinking back to Self's history... maybe MJ isn't proving to him he has enough defense prowess to earn more PT minutes.
BTW: It is refreshing to see our defense taking shape! Kevin sure brings a lot to our defense, Juan is amazing... and now we are seeing some moments with Gradey... oh... almost forgot (how could I) KJ and JWil.
I just looked over the stat sheet and noticed Gradey had 5 steals!
Regardless of who plays our 5, if we can post trap effectively (like we did today), we should continue to shine on D! I can think of some National Championship teams that did it without a real 5... Villanova comes to mind first!
I really like this team this year at this time of the season better than last year's team at this time. If that made any sense...lol. It's just 5 unselfish guys giving everything they can on every play. I was amazed with 2 minutes left, with a 20 point lead, we have two guys on the floor fighting for the ball. The culture shows on the court. These are a tight group of guys.
Maybe the hesitation with MJ is perhaps he hasn't fully bought in to the whole thing yet. How is a guy that debated G-League vs. KU holding up getting scrub minutes?

@rockchalkjayhawk said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Wow, that was a helluva balanced performance by the Jayhawks today. Very impressive.
Juan with the show boat assist! Making me eat my words. nice.
One complaint (sorry): Cmon, Bill. Play the bench more. We're gonna need some of these guys at some point. I know 7 guys got 10+ minutes, but we need to season some of these players. We had plenty of margin to give them some run.
We needed to build the lead up as much as possible, and beat them as badly as we could. Our next 3 games should give us ample opportunity to expand our bench.
That lead was built up as it was over 15 most of the game. There wasn't a great reason to not give Rice some extended minutes today against a quality opponent, especially with Jalen struggling like he did today. And I'm going to disagree about the next three games being ample opportunity to play the bench more because there's only 1 more non-confernce game left before B12 play starts and OSU might be the worst team in the league, but how often do we see KU truly blow out and dominate B12 teams? Not as frequently as we'd like because of the familiarity these teams and coaches have with one another. And that 3rd game is a road game against a Texas Tech team that doesn't have a bad loss this year and is probably going to be in the NCAA Tournament. So I don't see KU getting to expand the bench much over the next 3 games, maybe Harvard, but I'm betting on it happening with OSU or Tech though.
That's my bad on the next 3. I thought we had 3 more non-con games. I agree that we don't want to play musical chairs in conference games.
