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.
I'm watching Virginia/Houston and I think we're better than both of them.

17 steals is 5 shy of the school record I just learned. Had 22 against Marquette in 1990.
The early Roy days were a treat. They just flat ran the whole game, played the passing lanes, and would just bury teams.

Chalk this one up to our defense.
And our offense...

Don’t think self was happy about that 3 ball.
It didn't bother me a bit...lol.
ROCK CHALK.....JAYHAWK.....KU....
Jalen Wilson is 4/17 from the floor today & KU is up 20+ against a top 15 team in the country.
we have a freaking powerhouse team this year. Final Four/natl champ good...
look how hard we're playing...we're 22 points ahead, and we're getting floor burns...
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Everyone playing well except for Jalen

Gradey needs to find his mojo. WTH
scoreboard, mr hat
sloppy, sloppy, sloppy...come on guys...bad pass by juan
@wissox said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Another comment, I'll paraphrase "another terrible start, nothing KU is doing we're just being bad". Fans gonna fan I guess.
They've shut up on Twitter....
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
It's really nice that Larry Bird is on our team though
He looks like Bird today. 5 for 5 and 3 for 3 from 3.
There was a group of Candy Stripers that came into town and went to the Wheel last night, and sang the IU fight song. So, I'm hoping they're really enjoying the game...
@wissox said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Looking at IU game chat, found this classic:
"We are dominating the first 30 seconds. Except on the scoreboard"
lolol....
@stoptheflop said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Zuby didn't look especially athletic under the rim, but his 4 first half pts really help.
The athleticism will kick in once he quits thinking so much when he's out there.
I think it's time I got behind KJ. He really started us out right.
@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Kevin needs a chewing at half
He's whining instead of grinding...
@wissox said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Seems like Mccullars got fouled on that last turnover
McCullar.
now we're playing sloppy...
ok...we're a really, really good team.
this is fun....lololol
@benshawks08 said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
That’s the good Bobby.
Good Bobby emerges!
I LOVE ZUBY
JW
come on, guys...stay focused....
I think we look amazing so far...
we look GREAT
THE KJ SHOW
KJ
Lance Leipold is there. Don't think he'll be picking up a sign, though.
KU 77 IU 71 is my guess.

@Jethro said in Things just got worse for K/State in Bowl:
The B12 needs for Silo to win the game. Same with TCU.
Sorry man but it's not gonna happen I don't think
K-State fans have been insufferable since they beat us and then TCU. Really torn over wanting to see them get their ass kicked to shut them up versus how big a win over Bama would be. I am trolling the crap out of them for their conference championship barnstorming tour. I keep saying how bad it's going to look if they lose to Bama...lol. I also have pointed out WE only tour the state when we win the national championship. One of my better posts was when I suggested Silo Tech stop by Lawrence so they can see what a national championship trophy looks like...lol. I absolutely think TCU could beat Michigan.
Here's some stupid Candy Stripers singing the IU fight song at the Wheel:

@BeddieKU23 Wowa, really? IDK why I thought we were in Bloomington!
That's next year.

@rockchalkjayhawk Check the behind the wall section.
My apologies for not wishing Happy Birthday- birthdays are not celebrated in the house of Jethro because they are reminders of pending and current oldness.
What about this guy? Our own future Deuce Vaughn- he has the height part down:
Oops. Woodson was talking about KU, and he called Gradey Dick " Bird". Couldn't help but love that comparison, even though it's a long way from being accurate at the present moment:

There's kids making millions while playing for their school. What could go wrong.
Oscar is making 2 mil. What's stopping him from becoming a booster and paying some friend of his to come to Kentucky? Or slip a few bills into the pockets of Mr. 5 star making his official visit?
Not going to happen. They can legally get it from other sources at the university. If I had the $$$, I could say I want a picture of the player, and pay them whatever I wanted to for it. If I wanted to pay them a ridiculous amount, then I could do it with no problem. They just announced here in Houston that the whole team (Houston Cougars) was/were getting a 6 figure deal from a local business. They showed the whole team out at a swanky restaurant celebrating their windfall on local news last night.
@BShark said in NIL Issues:
Word being put out there from other big names as well. Sounds like some guys are not getting nearly what they were promised. Meanwhile business as usual for the old powers.
So the checks aren't cashing...we need a KU T. Boone Pickens to step in and take care of our guys. I heard Oscar is making 2 mil a year.
Kansas will face three quality big men in its next three games: IU's Trayce Jackson-Davis, Harvard's Chris Ledlum, and Oklahoma State's Moussa Cisse.
Jayhawks were out rebounded by 29 in games against Duke and Tennessee.

He only averaged 13.6 boards last year, down from the 15.0 boards the year before, which led the nation. He averaged 18.9 points per game last year on a wide array of post moves and 3 point shooting. He shot .435 from 3. We was the WAC defensive player of the year in 2021 and also 2022.
Boy sounds like he would be really nice, but sounds like we might not have room ? - without Bill doing something Dirty ?-- wonder why a guy like that is transferring out anyways ? - - no playing time ? - - that can't be
Not dirty- just change Cam's status to grant in aid, and we got room.

@Jethro Hmm hmm hmm. Bill would have to do someone dirty to make room. Doubt it happens.
Put the Camster on grant in aid?
