@jaybate-1.0 Devonte was hobbling-Josh was hurt emotionally.

Devonte is hurt. JJ is hurt in a different way. Look for JJ to pound some Grapes next game.
@HawkChamp Bragg looked better, imo. 9 rebounds.
Home sweet home. Welcome back to the Phog, guys. Next two games.
KU can't shoot free throws.....oops....
KU can't rebound.....oops....
Perfect first game for JJ. Humbling experience. He will work his ass off not to repeat it....
winner, winner, chicken dinner...
@RockChalkinTexas Bingo...
@BeddieKU23 we're fine...good first test....
@BShark good question ...
need to get Devonte and Vick going.....
@jessejayhawk Enjoy....
@BeddieKU23 It's their game of the year...first sellout in their history??? So, we can't cakewalk it- we have to play tough...
lucas looks great. We've been waiting for this all year.
We came back, and started playing composed. They won't shoot 3s like that the 2nd half.
@BeddieKU23 Did you see Texas Tech is beating the snot out of the Clones....
I really thought Okie St would beat WVU...WOW...
@jayballer54 Wasn't it because we signed Devonte? I think the kid is a great high school player, period.
A lot of people despise Walton. I love him for his tirade against Stumpy and Az several years back. It was classic..it was epic, and I wondered how he ever kept his job. I still laugh thinking about it.
@jaybate-1.0 I get my assumptions from Ancient Aliens, which could be considered dubious, for sure. You're probably right.
@rocketdog I think he had direct help.
ESPN clickbait using weird science math. Has ESPN ever predicted KU to win the Big 12? The BPI is almost as worthless as the RPI, imo.
@jaybate-1.0 Sooooo....off the topic a bit, but your tag line mentions Wernher von Braun. Quite a fascinating fellow, wasn't he? So, where did he gain his knowledge that was light years ahead of his time???? Inquiring minds want to know...

THe last play of the UK/ Louisville game. They down 3… Coach Cal ran Chop!!! He ran Chop. I saw it.
Great win for Pitino.
He did...he did...lol. I noticed it, too. And the Squid would know the chop play very well...lol.
Underwood is a rock star, imo. He's getting that 7 footer from St. Johns...Simas. Wow, Udoka vs Simas...that will be epic. Simas should be eligible right in time for Big 12 play next year.
@wissox We're down, but not out. Lando's 12 boards last game means something. I wouldn't be surprised if another Lando run was in store like last year. We're actually scoring more in the paint than last year, although much of it is through drives from our guards.
@jayballer54 Merry Christmas, everyone. I'm hoping Santa brings Landen a post move or two, and Carlton a baby hook shot, and some rebounds.
I would call this our showoff game. We could do anything we wanted in this game, so there was lots of showoff ball. Frank played badly in lots of ways, drives to no where, not passing the ball..etc.Pass the ball, Frank. Don't go 1 on 3 when you have open teammates right there. Devonte airmailed it in after a nice opening 4 minutes. Josh was brilliant, but tried to make the spectacular play instead of the easiest play at times. Highlight reel stuff, though. Svi was really, really good. Lando was almost worthless on the offensive end- it's like we're playing 4 on 5 in our offensive sets. Bragg was nothing to brag about, either. Vick came in and played really well in spurts - he made a spectacular block off a UNLV run out at the goal that was the defensive play of the game, imo. Lightfoot commits 2 fouls in about 5 seconds.
We cakewalked the game. I get it..it's Christmas. We could've beat them by 50 if we were more focused, and played like a team. Still, an 18 point road win will work just fine.
@RockChalkinTexas I am so sorry for your loss. It makes me cry tears of sadness for you, but also tears of joy for the braveness you've shown. May God wrap you in his arms. May we help you through this difficult time.
We're playing with our food tonight....
We're on Xmas break...
@BShark That was funny when the guy asked Bill how he was going to "keep up the intensity"...his look was like...what intensity????
This color guy is insufferable..lol.
There is another thread that has been going. Not sure why it's so hard to say "KU/UNLV" game thread....
@DanR We actually played their coach's team in the NCAAs several years back. New Mexico St.
@KUSTEVE Wait a sec- that's on CBS Sports Network. No problem.
@JayHawkFanToo In Florida?
@BeddieKU23 If you have a link to the game, I would appreciate it.
@RockChalkinTexas I will pray for your husband, and for you.
shit.
shit.
shit.
@Ralph omg...
@Eric-san what?
We'll hear about this pansy for the rest of the season. This should spawn at least 3 more special episodes from ESPN.
@Crimsonorblue22 oh no..
@BShark I like his game. He is multi dimensional.
@approxinfinity i understand. if the royals win the world series 4-1, but in the one game they lose 20-0, then Royals actually are not the champions because the other team scored more overall runs.
@JayHawkFanToo Our two main competitors run junk defenses that are real tough the first time teams see it, and then much easier the 2nd time around. Baylor and WVU never do as good the 2nd half because now everyone has played them, and teams are a lot more prepared for it. We will slice and dice Baylor on any floor. The road trip to WVU is tough, but not impossible. OSU's great strength: guard play. Only our guards are better. I don't think we're at 80% of how good we're going to be at the end of the season. This is a record book season.
