🏀 KuBuckets Archive

As you may or may not noticed from my lack of participation I have lost a lot of interest in sports over the past year or too. Rule changes, NIL, transfer portal, it all adds up to a less than stellar experience in my view. I am watching the NFL changes in dismay, yes I do like the idea of protecting players just not the methods. Baseball lost me totally to the point I won’t even listen to the games anymore much less attend one. Hell I might stoop to watching cricket soon!

Fun game!

Almost afraid to comment after that one! I got to keep that in mind for my next drinking, I mean golf, adventure.

I see a lot of trash piled on the players, and they did stink it up, but I feel this ones on Self. We know he knows what it takes to attack a zone. Hell the announcers brought it up a time or two. Put a big that can pass and shoot a 15 footer on the free throw line and get them the ball. Seems we have such a big but did that ever happen? Not that I saw. If Jaybate was still around he would be screaming that HCBS brought them into this game flat and let them struggle and I would be hard pressed to find an argument to oppose him.

No idea why or what he was doing but imo Self could have done more to prevent that meltdown against the zone. I am very interested in how the team will respond to this loss and would love to be a fly on the wall in the next film session.

If he was reaching for the ball his arm would not have been going backwards. To me it looked like a move to clear space.

KJ’s free throw stroke is looking smooth

Wow KJ

@stoptheflop said in KU vs TCU game chat:

Funny, Johnny passing it back to Parker thinking he was a guard

I about hurt myself on that one

KJ came to play

Sounds like they are moving to the KU game

Merry Christmas all

Yeah, price seems right and just for the year if it don’t work out

I use Hulu live, and the Disney package that includes espn+. Wife has other things that come and go. I dropped cable completely when my city put in fiber to the home as a utility, it has been amazing.

Watch out for the cell phone 5g setups because many have a data cap and after you hit it the speed drops below streaming needs.

I like it. Gives Zach a year to muscle up and learn with no expectation to see the floor. At the same time if he is needed, heaven forbid, he could step in at a moments notice. Kid has some instincts but needs some polish and muscle. He is in a good place to gain both.

When I noticed CS sitting throughout most of the game I figured it was going to be an L. I didn’t see him turn red once, at times he looked like jumping up and then would just relax. Got the feeling he wasn’t coaching to lose but sure wasn’t screaming to win.

Agree with the Jaybate no amp comment

I have been watching them for about a week, it is pretty cool

My wife made the comment that someone needs to look at the goal on the right. The one KU started and Baylor finished with. I suppose she might have a point if you ignore how flat KU started and how turned up they were in the second half. 🤣

Not watched this yet. Not sure I want too!!

I believe what tickles me most is the fact that Phogg Allen, Moses, or perhaps Self has gotten Dajuan to shoot 3’s. Three to five a game and if they are all makes it is even better. As much as anything else his showing he is an effective 3 point shot will help the team reach their peak.

Has Zach made a shot yet this year? I agree on him pushing and being out of sync.

Looks more and more like Udoka for the nets

Kirk was only so fun to watch

Edit for my bad typo. Kirk was OH so fun to watch. 🤦‍♂️

I am not sure if that is good or bad for Oachi long term

@Crimsonorblue22 no they decided I was too many days in and without any symptoms of concern. I am fine now and actually off quarantine today.

@wissox Yep! I got a great doc!! I am doing fine headache was my worst symptom.

That is hilarious!

Watched the final four games again yesterday, quarantine is good for something, and got just about as worked up as the live version. I am glad this thread resurfaced.

I helped out at camps Sherron was working well after his KU days. He worked very well with the kids, all ages, and you could see his heart was in teaching them all he could in the time allowed. I figured he would be a coach someplace sometime and am tickled to see him doing so.

You mean the hokey pokey isn’t what it’s all about! I have been living my life all wrong in that case.

@benshawks08 it seems something like that happened in or around the time of the older Teahan brother. My memory is not horrible trustworthy however.

It’s the Mitch Lightfoot Crimson and Blue Blood award

@BShark agree there, I just don’t see Dave as an NBA guy. I would love for him to prove me wrong but at this point I can’t see him getting that chance. Heck, I could see Mitch getting a look someplace as a potential stretch 4 before Dave does at the 5.

@bskeet said in Kansas senior David McCormack not leaning either way as he awaits feedback to make stay-or-go decision:

Only reason for him to stay is to work on the 3pt game. If he can shoot 35-40% or better from 3 for the year (which, of course would require that Bill allow him to do that) then he could raise his stock with the NBA. 6-10 + dudes that can shoot 3s and are also skilled in the paint (jump hooks, short jumpers, etc.) are valuable in the league.

Another reason to stay may be to prove his foot has finally healed up. Having a bad wheel on a big guy should be a big red flag to any NBA team I would think. He managed to survive a college season on it but how about an NBA marathon?

Dave could come back but every indication I have seen shows him as gone. Tbh he has nothing to gain from coming back unless he wants to add to his education. If he intends to continue plying BB beyond college now would be the time to go as a freshly crowned champion who finished his career at an unbelievable level.

Wow!!! Way to stressful but what a comeback!

I don’t see that a single Bucketeer picked NC as the finals winner. I am taking that as a good sign!

I really wanted a 20+ point win but ROCK CHALK!🎆🎆

Nice article on Mitch I hope you all can get to it. https://apple.news/AeZI8VfyAQ5KQWxEB18tp5w ↗

I don’t know about all of you but I needed that second half explosion to get me through the week at a reasonable stress level.

That was a great second half by all the Hawks!

You guys must be a long way ahead of me

Thanks, The Admiral?

In DC visiting, is there a good place to watch the game near DuPont Circle or anywhere else for that manner?

Something I have only seen mentioned in one article is Hill’s age. Speed is great and Hill is a fast reliable receiver but how about next year or the year after? Father Time is unbeatable and that 4 year mostly guaranteed contract is likely to bite Miami in the butt down the road. Perhaps sooner hopefully later Tyreek will no longer be able to maintain his speed advantage and I can see KC wanting to get something out of a trade before that day happens.

I was afraid of that. I will miss the end then🤯

@jayballer67 I don’t know about that N Carolina is helping best they can

That sure isn’t the Baylor team KU played this year. They are playing like it is the first time they have played together.

Zach in instead of Mitch

Was that Remy’s first KU throw down?

Yes Juan!

Sluggish is an understatement
