"I don't see it with Furphy" geniuses reacting to him playing while still hurt against Hays.

"Geniuses"

I have the feeling this will be one of my favorite KU teams. I just get that vibe. I like all these dudes

@stoptheflop We could not in good faith go so far quite yet

What can you say? I think this team is pretty good

Parker Braun is not bad

Hopefully this is the start to a very good weekend for KU sports

Okay I'm officially a Furphy stan

Man Furphy is goooooooood

Really like our freshman

Manhattan's coach looks like bargain brand Nate Oats

Down goes Dook

Bball conference is going to be bananas next year

Every time Dook slaps the floor, someone is also tripped by Grayson Allen

@kjayhawks said in Manhattan Jaspers, Who?:

People talk about Juan’s lack of scoring but he may have the highest FG of all PGs

Not caring about scoring tends to lead to a very good shot selection

Pretty nice block by Braun there

What is a Jasper

Simmons also is decent as a cutter and moving without the ball. But he's only really effective as a dunker in a half court offense

He's good at standing in the dunker's spot

KJ = Ben Simmons - the passing and terrible attitude

Our freshman look mature, playing within the offense

@KirkIsMyHinrich thanks I never really expect transfers from places like Towson to work out. I know they do sometimes but not too oftenly for us.

I'm also low on mid major transfers but hopefully he starts playing better. He is a very good shooter

Furphy looks great though

Nicolas Timberlake. Averaged 18 ppg on 42% 3pt shooting last season on Towson. Has not looked very good this season

Furphy is a CB Dick hybrid and he looks like Keanu Reeves

Furphy is good good

Furph3

Kevin McCullar is our Scottie Pippen

@wissox said in KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!!:

@KirkIsMyHinrich Colorado beat #1 LSU womens in the first game in Vegas.

You love to see it

@RockChalkinTexas said in KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!!:

Joel has 48 points. More than NCCU

He did it in 3 quarters too. Couldn't buy a bucket in the 4th quarter! (He sat the 4th)

K-State plays #21 USC tonight on TNT? That's kind of weird

Nice night for The Big Dicker

Well his last name is Braun. We could just play CB and hope no one notices

Furphy has a good stroke. It looks good even when he misses

Elmarko Jackson

@wissox said in KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!!:

I don't even know who these guys are on the floor.

Parker Braun, Nick Timberlake, Johnny Furphy, KJ and Kevin

Well "Dickinson with the rejection" is one difference between Dedric and Hunter.

46 points

45 points

Joel Embiid with 43 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists in 3 quarters tonight

I love Wayne Simien

You're telling me I have to focus on two sports at once? My god man, no one can live at that speed!

Dickinson is really good

Really excited about Furphy's upside. He's going to be good.

Dickinson, McCullar, Harris look great. No surprise there

I would have to look at this more, but it also might be possible for Kansas to make the CCG if Kansas wins out, Oklahoma wins out, and then Texas loses to any opponent. That would again create a 3-way circle of suck between Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. If Texas drops a game to TCU or Texas Tech (again unlikely) then it would come down to win percentage against the best common opponent, in which case everyone would have beaten Iowa St. Then it would come down to win percentage against all common conference opponents, which I think would only be BYU and Iowa St who we all will have beaten in that scenario... So then it would come down to combined winning percentage of all conference opponents in conference games. Right now Kansas' B12 opponent record is 28-26, Texas' B12 opponent record is 27-27, and Oklahoma's B12 opponent record is 27-27, and that includes records for teams we haven't played yet.

So tldr it might be possible if we win out, Oklahoma wins out, and Texas loses any of their remaining games.

I think KU can make the CFP if they win out, Oklahoma wins out, and Texas drops a game at Iowa St.

That would put Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma in a 7-2 triangle. It would then come down to record against best common opponent, which is likely going to be Iowa St, who Kansas and Oklahoma beat and Texas lost to. Then Kansas has the head-to-head against Oklahoma.

That would be awesome if that happened BUT I don't see much of a way Teas losing to Iowa St. -- Defensively Iowa St might give them some trouble BUT offensively I don't see any way Iowa State is going to be able to outscore Texas and or handle Texas D-Line. - -Iowa State had trouble running against us - - -they not running on Texas which makes them very one dimensional and that will put Rocco Beck left running for his life. - -I just can't see anyway. Actually I'd be surprised if Texas didn't win that game by 3 scores

Same... But that's at least a scenario that Kansas can get in with Texas only losing one time. If Ewers isn't playing Texas might have trouble scoring on Iowa St, who does have a good defense.

CCG I mean, not CFP lol

Oklahoma by the way has home games vs West Virginia and TCU and a road game at BYU, so they have a decent shot at winning out.

I doubt Iowa St can beat Texas, but with the game in Ames and if Ewers isn't playing, they have a shot.

I think KU can make the CCG if they win out, Oklahoma wins out, and Texas drops a game at Iowa St.

That would put Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma in a 7-2 triangle. It would then come down to record against best common opponent, which is likely going to be Iowa St, who Kansas and Oklahoma beat and Texas lost to. Then Kansas has the head-to-head against Oklahoma.
