ROCK CHALK Team USA!
@drgnslayr Since Chile seems to be the door mat in our Pool, Coach should rest Perry, Frank and Wayne as much as he can. It would be nice to beat up on Chile and win by 50 like some of the other teams to get the points advantage but rest gets us these players better performances in games we really need. Of course, we can't take Chile for granted either.
Is Landen in the dog house again? He didn't come back in at all after 1 qtr. of Brazil.
Read on the WUG site that the game Tuesday @ 12:30 am won't be televised because it is in a smaller arena :-( It is at Muan Indoor Gymnasium.

@brooksmd Agreed on the to's.
Think it makes having to play Huggy ball easier for us? And ISU?
I couldn't be any happier that all the new rules haven't been a hinderince to the players and minus a couple of shot clock violations, they (and the coaches) have done well with the shorter time. Where they need to get better is on their side/corner shots as they have been on the line several times. Still a joy to watch them gell as a team and not back down or play hesitant.
:clap: :clap:
Go KUSA! :raised_hand:
Just watched the replay of the game. If you go to Watch ESPN APP and scroll all the way to the right, there is a tab for WUG and click on it and you'll see our game.
@RoKChalk Way to represent! They interviewed the Ambassador at halftime and he tweeted after the game our score. Glad to see him healing and there for us.
From NBC College Basketball Talk - only one I could find out of CBS or SI:
Kansas opens World University Games with a win over Turkey
Scott Phillips
Jul 4, 2015, 11:00 AM EDT
It’s going to be an interesting season for Kansas and they enter the 2015-16 season with the benefit of playing a series of games representing America in the World University Games in South Korea.
The Jayhawks — plus SMU’s Nic Moore and Florida Gulf Coast’s Julian DeBose — won their opening game overseas, 66-57, as Wayne Selden and Perry Ellis were standout performers. Playing against Turkey, Kansas overcame an eight-point end of first quarter deficit to rally and win.
Selden had 19 points and eight rebounds while Ellis contributed 17 points and six rebounds in the win for the Jayhawks. Frank Mason also added 12 points and four assists.
The play of Selden this summer has been encouraging for Kansas, and as Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star notes, Selden is thriving on the wing playing alongside two smaller guards. The former McDonald’s All-American has been a strong rebounder on the wing in the past, so it might be smart for Bill Self to investigate some small ball lineups with Selden at the three if he continues to produce at this high of a level.
It’s also notable that Kansas freshman forward Carlton Bragg played with a face mask despite breaking his nose during practice. While it’s not good Bragg was hurt, showing toughness to play in a summer game is a positive sign
Kansas will continue the World University Games on Sunday with a game against Brazil.
Have to love the fight in the team and think we are blessed to have Nic. Great start and confidence building to play a team you know nothing about and a team of bullies at that. Turkey had guys who looked 30.
Happy 4th of July. :-)
@clevelandjayhawk :thumbsup:
@Lulufulu No doubt about it, it is Wiggins.
@JayHawkFanToo I agree with you. I was more surprised that it was just "assumed" that he couldn't get one.
@drgnslayr I've not had lunch yet~!~
:grimacing:
Since masks are molded specifically to fit one's facial features, is that why HCBS said they probably can't get one? Whose elbow did he run into? Debose best be ready along with Landon & Hunter.
I found this to be helpful.

@wrwlumpy Happy Friday to you! Think UT is glad some of the media is now drawn to Baylor?
I can't speak for @Crimsonorblue22 but in the words of Curly "I resemble those remarks."
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Chronicle of Higher Education published a story on Tuesday where there are numberous reports of academic wrong doing concerning the Men’s basketball program. The most recent accusation involves former player Martez Walker in 2013 where he allegedly took pictures of questions on a test and was “looking for answers outside the classroom.”
On Tuesday afternoon UT released this statement in response to the story:
“
“Academic integrity is at the core of The University of Texas. Our student-athletes’ academic progress rates are among the best in the nation. And we continually seek to foster an ethical culture that reduces the risk of wrongdoing, manages our internal controls, and responds to inappropriate conduct.
The university takes any suggestion of wrongdoing extremely seriously. We are always looking to identify problems that may exist and ways we can do better.
Working with external NCAA bylaw and academic compliance experts Gene Marsh and Geoff Silver, UT is investigating allegations raised by The Chronicle of Higher Education and has contacted the NCAA about them.
We determined that the university had no knowledge of two former student-athletes allegedly receiving improper help with high school coursework before they enrolled. We now are reviewing three other cases purported to have occurred over a nine-year period since 2006 to determine if any university or NCAA rules were violated and if any action is needed.
The university has no information that suggests former Men’s Basketball Coach Rick Barnes knew of or was involved in any academic improprieties.
President Gregory L. Fenves is actively working with his leadership teams in both Student Affairs and Athletics to pursue the highest levels of integrity for all UT students."
Marsha not even mentioned.
From Sunday: According to ESPN's Jeff Goodman, a familiar and surprise name interviewed for the Iowa State head coaching job this weekend in Atlanta.
LeVelle Moton, N.C. Central head coach, is reportedly that man.
Iowa State defeated N.C. Central in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament by a 93-75 final. It's often remembered as the game when Georges Niang broke his foot.
Moton has been the head coach at N.C. Central for the last five seasons where he compiled a 107-53 record. Over the last three seasons, N.C. Central has gone 46-2 in MEAC play.
Before taking over as N.C. Central's head coach in 2009, Moton was an assistant at the school from 2007 until then.
From Sat. By this time next week, I fully expect that Iowa State will have named the 21st head basketball coach in school history.
Interviews are reportedly taking place this weekend. In honor of that, let’s take one last look at the pool of known (an important word to include when dealing with Jamie Pollard) candidates to replace Fred Hoiberg in Ames.
T.J. OTZELBERGER
Upside: Otzelberger possesses two qualities that none of the other candidates can claim. He has a broad knowledge of all things Iowa State and the 37-year old Wisconsin native has proven that he can recruit to Ames.
While his experience in Iowa State is a nice characteristic, Otzelberger’s national connections on the recruiting trail are what make him stand out. This is the guy responsible for bringing the following names to Iowa State over the last decade: Craig Brackins, Diante Garrett, Wesley Johnson, Mike Taylor, Justin Hamilton, Melvin Ejim, Scott Christopherson, Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Will Clyburn, Naz Long, Georges Niang (in partnership with Fred Hoiberg) and Matt Thomas. He also recruited Jameel McKay and Deonte Burton out of high school.
Otzelberger’s previous gig was the recruiting coordinator at Washington. The Huskies currently have the seventh-rated recruiting class nationally according to Scout.com.
Otzelberger’s track record on the ever-so-important recruiting trail combined with his Iowa State connections and the fact that Hoiberg has all but endorsed him make “Otz” the front-runner at this time.
Downside: He has never been a head coach. That is really the only dig that you can take at the guy.
STEVE PROHM
Upside: Murray State’s 40-year old head coach has four years of experience running the show for a Racer program that Billy Kennedy left Texas A&M for in May or 2010.
By all means, Prohm has recruited very well at his time in Murray, Kent. Point guard Cameron Payne could very well be a lottery pick this year. Isaiah Cannon was the fourth pick in the second round in 2013.
Prohm, who once quit his Division III team halfway through his freshman season to pursue a dream of coaching, is a basketball junkie who preaches an up-tempo style of ball. I also love how fiery Prohm was when his 16-0 (Ohio Valley regular season) team got snubbed from last year’s NCAA Tournament.
Downside: The only NCAA Tournament team he’s coached was in his first year after taking over for Kennedy (2011-12).
He doesn’t have any ties to Iowa State, the Big 12 or even the Midwest really, and there is the obvious question: How would he recruit at the high-major level?
BRAD UNDERWOOD
Upside: To me, this is the guy who stands out compared to the other candidates. While Otzelberger, Prohm and Bryce Drew are youngsters in the field, Underwood is 51-years old and led Stephen F. Austin to an impressive 61-8 record during his first two seasons as head coach.
Underwood, a Frank Martin protégé, coached at Kansas State from 2006 to 2012 so he’s proven that he can bring players to the Big 12. He's from Kansas and knows the landscape of the Big 12. That’s a major plus.
This is a guy who has paid his dues and is ready for an opportunity at the next level of the game. If he doesn't get this job, don't be surprised to see him in the mix to replace Bruce Weber when he gets fired next season (hot take) at Kansas State.
Downside: This is the most intense coach on Iowa State’s known list. Again, Underwood coached under Frank Martin (!!!) for six years. How would Iowa State’s current roster transition from the cool, calm and collected Hoiberg to a much more brash style of coach in Underwood?
BRYCE DREW
Upside: I love the fact that Valparaiso’s 40-year old head coach played six seasons in the NBA. He’s had a nice four-year coaching run at Valpo, leading the Crusaders to two NCAA Tournaments.
His brother, Scott, is the polarizing head coach who turned the Baylor program around over the last decade. If he’s anything like his brother, recruiting should be a strength.
Downside: Drew’s record in the Horizon League is only 49-17 over four years. Drew’s style of play isn’t exactly “Hoiball.”
This is nothing against him, but I’ve heard considerably less behind-the-scenes noise about Drew than the other three combined.
I feel like Drew is the perfect fit at Valpo. He played there. His father was a legendary coach there. It's a very comfortable place for him. How would he fare outside of that comfort zone?
FINAL TAKE
If this truly is the candidate pool, like 60 percent of the voters on our forums, I’d also lean Otzelberger if I’m making the decision.
For me, it all comes down to this analogy: Scott Drew (Baylor) isn’t known as an X’s and O’s guy. Bruce Weber (Kansas State) is. Scott Drew can recruit. Bruce Weber can’t.
Which coach would you want leading your program?
Hell, Wayne Morgan once led Iowa State to an NCAA Tournament.
It isn't the perfect comparison but hopefully you understand the point.
All day, every day, give me the guy who can get players.
There’s an element of risk with every one of these candidates. With the three low-major guys, you're essentially rolling the dice on Greg McDermott, Todd Lickliter or Fran McCaffrey. Sometimes these guys work, sometimes they do not.
Based off of Otzelberger’s history of bringing talent to Ames, I feel like his known strength out-weighs his largest weakness. Should he get the job, I also fully expect Otzelberger’s staff to be top-notch.
Stay tuned. Hopefully for the sake over everybody, this wait is almost over.

@ParisHawk If you are speaking for yourself/others that's okay, but don't assume I was one who was doing the drooling.
What will Holly Rowe do now that she can't gush all over Hoiberg/Wife/Kids? :cry:
And poor Fran - he can't slobber on and on and on about Hoiberg's coaching abilities. :no_mouth:
Where do you order from?
@VailHawk :left_right_arrow: Which one?
@Crimsonorblue22 NO. Clue #1. Posts here sometimes.
@HighEliteMajor Ironically that was the subject of an NPR show I heard the other night. It is NOT, as many people conspire to, because they have "good spelling genes." Seriously, that is what some people are claiming. It IS because they work hard at it, are not going into sports, and generally have both parents who are highly educated. It really boils down to their hard work.
Vanya Shivashankar, 13, of Olathe, Kansas, and Gokul Venkatachalam, 14, of Chesterfield, Missouri, were declared co-winners of the National Spelling Bee. It is the second year in a row in which the contest has ended in a tie.
Shivashankar correctly spelled the word "scherenschnitte" and Venkatachalam correctly spelled the word "nunatak." The contest was declared a draw because there weren't enough words left on the competition's list for them to keep facing off until only one was left standing.
HaHa. Missouri couldn't win it outright again. Had to share it with KS!
NOTICE they gave the longer word to the girl!!! :+1: :
GUESS WHO with Roy?
Did they have tournies then?
