@BeddieKU23 Hip again?
Numbers-wise, this is the best defense Kansas has had per Ken Pom. I think our 2008 team had better defense, but this is right up there.
So I said before the game that if we're under 14 turnovers we'll win.
13 turnovers on the game. AND 13 steals. Our defense is nuts.
Nothing like handing WVU their first home-loss of the season. Rock friggin Chalk
Yes way. It's a free-throw shooting contest now. Get Doke out.
Take Doke out
Fran said the other night that Baylor had the best defense in the countries. Flip-flopper.
Impervious to pressure other than Nova, ya.
Come on, Dotson

All dog movies suck.
Old Yeller ruin your childhood? 😝

Marcus 5-steals Garrett doing his thing.

I can't breathe.
I would advise you to breath, skeletor.
Marcus got fouled come on.
Let's go!
MOSS
These rims are WVU fans tonight, I swear.
1-and-1 I think.
The defense being played by both of these teams is outstanding.
Hell ya Dotson Let's go
Ew, Chiefs.
4-point game. Still in it. It could be a lot worse. Keep attacking.
Tshiebwe fouled.
Good start.
I was told to edit "we good" into the game thread. Therefore, if we lose, I will burn @BShark 's house down. I don't feel like this is an overreaction.
Turnovers bad. Offensive rebounds given up bad. 3-6 from the line bad. But 1-8 from 3 is probably the worst. If we are 3-8 from 3 the game is tied.
West Virginia is shooting like hell otherwise we'd be down 15.
They have almost as many offensive rebounds as we do rebounds. This is a problem.
6 offensive rebounds for WVU and 7 turnovers. Gotta do better than that.

Yeah this is gonna be a scrapper
Were you expecting a finesse game?
Jalen Wilson officially done for the season.
Who's the 4th, Braun?
Since our games against West Virginia tend to be somewhat contentious, I made a few tables that show the free-throw differentials and W/L records for both teams at home. West Virginia is actually 4th in free-throws per game this season and has one of the highest free-throw differentials in the country at home. Overall, Kansas has a better mean differential, but I would argue at least some if not all or more of that is attributable to having a better home record and getting fouled/shooting more free-throws at the end of games. I haven't looked into it much, however.
We good.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Marcus was a big nothing historically. I'd take Kirk's jersey based on 4 years + what should have been a national championship. Made his one free throw. Nick Collison 3-10 when it counted.
Ya. Two Final Fours and a National Championship game. 4-year player, 3rd-team All American.
Marcus was Sweet Sixteen, Round of 32, and Elite Eight. 2nd-team All American and B12 POY.
I'd take Kirk's as well, but I admit that I'm biased.
It's not about team success though when it comes to having a jersey hung. It's about individual success and accolades because quite frankly, Aaron Miles has a better resume than Kirk Hinrich does and Miles isn't up there and we don't hear his name mentioned much about it and he is still KU's all time assists leader.
Kirk Hinrich: 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 49.3/43.0/77.6, 141 games, 20.0 win shares
Aaron Miles: 8.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 41.5/34.2/75.5, 138 games, 13.4 win shares
How does he have a better resume?
@FarmerJayhawk I see. I don't mind UNC and I still like Roy. I've always liked the way his teams play. They play the game, they don't play the rules, and I mean that in a good way.
@FarmerJayhawk Why though?

UNC loses by 17 to Wake Forest. Oof
I don't think either of the Morris twins belong up there. Good players, but didn't have quite enough tournament or individual success to warrant a place in the rafters. Mason, Graham, Thomas Robinson. If this season's team wins a championship, I think there's an argument for Doke and/or Dotson. Maybe Marcus Garrett as well depending on this season as well as next season.
Video of the controversial foul at the end of FSU-Duke
It also looked like Hurt was pulling on the FSU player before he got the rebound. That's pretty poor from the officials.
Ya Ted Valentine missed that call. It should have been a foul on Duke.
Even Baylor fans are saying Oklahoma St got jobbed by the officials. Yikes
That Baylor-OSU game was one of the most poorly officiated games I've ever seen.
It's going back and forth. Seton Hall with Powell is a nice team.
Maybe so, but they're still ranked in the Top 10 and not a bad team at all. If this is their worst team then honestly that's pretty impressive for their program. Also, we lost on the road, by 1 point, without Marcus Garrett down the stretch, in a game that we should have won. I think we beat them in a rematch on a neutral court.
Mountaineers losing at OU by 12 right now. If that holds it'll set up a rebound game for West Virginia at home against KU. Yay.

Putting Duke in that weak East would be typical.
In Greensboro too. Less than an hour drive from Durham and Duke University
