I guess Gonzaga and Nova or whoever else from the BE would be basketball-only invites, and BY would try to split up football and basketball, but I don't know about that. I'm not sure if those numbers would work out favorably for us.

KJ had his man beat. He needs to put his body between the basket and the defender. He made that way too hard

@Jethro Reverse jinx

I'm glad KJ made that because he probably isn't making the FT

FTs are rough today

Also Bill if you’re in the game chat say hi would love to hear your thoughts

Bill's thoughts:

"Hi. I wish I could start five Jimmy Butlers."

Hopefully Bill didn't watch the first half

Got heeeeem

Go read Bossi's nugget on 247 premium. WILD STUFF.

A big wing who can make deep jumpers, create, rebound, and finish above the rim. Had a 50/20 game. Might be 2023 or 2024 but I'm guessing we're hoping for 2023 since we're likely losing Jalen, Gradey, and McCullar after this season. Has a younger brother named Maximo Adams who is one of the better players in the 2026 class.

Very cool

Letsssssssssssss gooooooooooooooo

Refs weren't great. We weren't great either. A road loss to a top 10 team isn't the end of the world and honestly might be good for this team before the tournament.

Yes points his feet at a 45-degree angle away from the basket before he shoots. I don't get it

Thank you, A&M

Kentucky drops a home game to Vanderbilt with a 35-13 FT advantage. Impressive.

@BShark Who wouldn't we be favored against?

UConn I suspect for one. Though I think we could beat them.

Trying to see if Torvik let's me see what their metrics think of random match-ups.

I think we would beat UConn. We could put McCullar on Hawkins. Sanogo might be a bit of a match-up problem for KJ or our younger bigs.

We have a huge match-up advantage at the coaching position though.

No tie with KSuck possible now. Thank god.

Or Failor

I am a big fan of Dajuan Harris

Yes getting the lid off the basket as we all predicted

Jalen and Kevin giving sr speeches, no one else.

Return of the tall Mark Hamill?

Got away with one a little bit. Good defensive stand at the end but I didn't think we played all that well.

Except for Juan, he was awesome today.

Ya that was a hell of a shot

I would love for Dick to come back but I think he'll be a lottery pick and should move on. I think his NBA game could be similar to Klay Thompson in terms of style of play and production, although I think he could be a better rebounder than Thompson because of his height. Thompson was taken with the 11th pick in the 1st round of the 2011 draft. That's about where I see Dick being drafted, and maybe even a few spots higher.

23 offensive rebounds for UNC saving the day

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other games:

UNC is so bad. It’s almost funny at this point

I was just going to say, it's a good thing you're also a Jayhawks fan this season. Apparently Brady Manek was really good.

@Kcmatt7 said in Other games:

@KirkIsMyHinrich if you watched the game I don’t know how you come away thinking Baylors D is what lost them the game tonight.

Could have been better. Sure. But they didn’t look like the best offense in the country tonight.

I did watch the game and I saw K-State score on just about every possession in the last 8 minutes of the game. I'm not saying their offense was great either, but their defense has been a problem all season and was tonight as well.

@Kcmatt7 said in Other games:

@KirkIsMyHinrich not the issue tonight.

They can’t score tonight

I mean, K-State is shooting 48% from the floor and has only turned the ball over 7 times, so it kind of is.

@BShark said in Other games:

We broke Baylor.

They are hardly even running offense right now. Drew just asking his guys to jack up shots.

The bigger problem is their defense I think. 2nd in offensive efficiency but 87th in defensive efficiency per KenPom. That's the worst in the B12 by a ways (the next worst is West Virginia at 54th).

Baylor this season is what it would look like if Gonzaga joined the B12 in basketball.

Nice long rest until West Virginia on Saturday.

Big game for Kevin. I'll take an ugly win for sure.

We have a great chance to get at least a share of the B12 title now.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Honestly, TCU's defense is just really good. And it's that much better when they have a crowd behind them

I think for this game it will help that we got our ass kicked in AFH the first time in that it will make our players take the game more seriously. TCU is 24th this week in the AP Poll but I think they are a lot better than that with a healthy Miles and Lampkin.

If we can get this game tonight, it gives us a very good chance to at least split for a B12 title. After this, we have vs West Virginia, vs Texas Tech, and at Texas. Texas has vs Iowa St, at Baylor, at TCU, and vs Kansas.

Juan 9 assists

Jalen 13 boards

Thou shalt not pass. @KirkIsMyHinrich

Worked out better for KJ than Gandalf

@jayballer67 said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:

We just hung a cool 55 points on Baylor in the 2nd half

And held them to 26

+29 in the 2nd half. Is that good?

I can't believe Baylor didn't continue shooting like the GS Warriors and we stopped missing wide open lay-ups.

Rock Chalk

Flagler's their best player

Just use the backboard KJ

Good night bucketeers. Best believe I'm coming for Scott Drew with Saturday's game thread title.

Hmm, how about
