remy is a little badass...
gotta bring up dayton again. fran is a jerk
Notice how the team picks up their energy when remy is in the game?
@BShark he heard you...lol
@drgnslayr I didn't see a mixed bag exactly. I saw a team get buried by a team that couldn't miss, and then the most amazing thing happened. It's like the entire team woke up, and began to fly all over the court. This was like a new team- they hit a gear we have never seen with this group. They played tough, they played with grit. The rebounding was amazing. Och took over the game, but all of them played at a level we haven't seen this year. This brutal conference schedule is shaping them, molding them into something special. Now, can we bottle that up, and use that toughness from here on out? Tonight will be a great indicator, because we play one of the toughest teams in the B12 tonight.
Bump...had to get thread to 667 posts.
This team is learning how to win. They looked tough in the 2nd half. Och was on a level I had never seen before. He took over the game- he wasn't playing. I've been waiting so long to see that determination and moxie from him. The whole team was literally flying all over the court. They wanted to get this win for Coach Self, and found a way.
@jayballer67 Great call on the K-State game, buddy. You had it pegged- down to the wire.
@BShark We need him next year. ''We just gave it to Isiaih Mosley, that's pretty much handled all our shooting concerns,'' Missouri State coach Dana Ford said. ''He did a fantastic job getting to his sweet spots and playing off two feet. Our guys did a good job getting it to him. They knew he had a hot hand and instead of trying to do other things, we just kind of rode the way with him.''
That has to be one of the strangest games I've ever seen. It reminds me when we were down to WVU by 9 with 2 minutes to go, and we came back and won a few years back. You literally stop and go...how'd that happen? That's why you can't give up on this team.
hilarious...
how the hell did we win this????
LMAO
kiss my ass and call me leroy
we can cut it down to 7.
@wissox Dude. That is some funny s**t...lol.
UT starts the game out pummeling Okie St 11-0. Then they woke up, and are now behind 16-13.

Penny has the biggest meltdown of the year :
@wissox LOL. The 'Tucky fan base has a deep paranoia about turning into Indiana U on the basketball court, so I try to throw that out as much as possible on another KU site. Hence...Kendiana...
@wissox You mean ...Kendiana?
@wissox LSU gets athletes because their crooked coach makes them "strong ass offers"...
@Kcmatt7 Substitutions seem to trigger slumps for us. I wish he had spread the time around more in non conference games, so the subs wouldn't look so shell shocked when they finally get time. No way JCL should've sat the second half, no matter how bad he looked first half. We need him to be that spark off the bench that can be a source of instant offense.
Another thing that causes collapses is our mental approach. We seem to let up once we get up in a game. Mentally soft. We need a big old boot that stomps teams in the throat, and demoralizes them. If we're up 10, that's not good enough...let's make it 20. And for gosh sakes, quit being so damn polite. Now, I'm not calling for a chair swinging Silvio, but I'd sure like to see some Mason, Graham, Josh Jackson type mentality. Some Dotson tough ( look at the way he destroyed the cream puff named Quinten). Some Doke tough. Come on guys, let those balls drop!
@wissox Did he learn that from Devonte???
Christian Braun hit a game winning shot. The "invisible man in conference" stepped up. That's front page news for me. My memory banks are telling me that this is his first game winner ever, although I could be wrong. That's the big news- the beta is becoming an alpha...hubba, hubba.
A little off topic, but did you notice the younger Tanner brother bears a striking resemblance to Napoleon Dynamite? I kept waiting for him to bust a move...
For the record....KU 2 Tanner Groves 0.
@jessejayhawk Wow, my first was 1972 in the NCAA tournament- KU vs. Villanova.
@jayballer67 He had 3 shots where the ball was in the rim, and it just bounced out. He lacks the quickness to get around people, and his small frame makes him a target to be posted by bigger guards. He is fine as a distributor, but as a main focal point of the offense, he certainly isn't ready and might not ever be ready.
Dejuan was overexposed in this game. Got posted up, made numerous errors trying to drive the ball, and his shot just would not fall. Took 10 shots. I know OU was laying off of him, but he has to do better, or play less.
@jayballer67 Those 6 years have paid off...
@jayballer67 I like our chances.
Ugly win- We'll take the W, and move on to Silo Tech on Saturday.
It's a win. So ugly...lol.
BULLSHIT CALL
@RockChalkinTexas Porter Moser.
BOOYAH!!!
@jayballer67 Bad Dave showed up 1st half. Let's hope Good Dave makes an appearance...
That's what we all need- A Dook highlight video. ESPN can suck it...
JWil, Dejuan and Mitch came to play. Everybody else is sleepwalking.
@jayballer67 He hit the possession clock on the table.
I wonder if Tanner Groves has a bong in his locker. HE looks like he wants to be Bill Walton when he grows up...
@wissox I think we have uncovered a special talent with this thread. It is HILARIOUS!
@wissox Oh my...aren't we having fun today...lol.
The Hillbillies are giving the Bears all they can handle. Will this be their 3rd loss in a row???? Make it so, Number 1...
@BeddieKU23 The best one of all was after he crapped the bed over this incident, he comes out and says he "saved the season"....lol. You can't make this stuff up...
@BeddieKU23 I love your post. In reference to Remy, a supposed "insider" started a rumor about Remy leaving. This person also proclaimed a few months ago we were going to the B10, so he doesn't let facts get in the way of a good story. I think this episode will galvanize Remy, galvanize the team, and I expect a great effort tomorrow night.
