@DinarHawk Revenge should be sweeter when the stake is higher. RCJH!
@DinarHawk Lunardi just put us back to Midwest Region where UK is the 1 Seed. I hope he is wrong. Don't get me wrong, I am not scare of UK, but, would rather meet them at FF.
Looks like we have mastered Bad Ball, to me it is 5 good "Bad Ball" games in a row. I don't consider the loss in OU was playing lousy Bad Ball, we played the game without Ellis, Greene and Seldon played injured. And, we almost come away with a W. 5 in a row to me is consistency. That is Identity. And, it is the type of Team that past KU Teams did not like to see in the Dance. RCJH!
Note: Cliff is no longer a factor.
@Crimsonorblue22 If Zona, Nova, Gonzaga somehow lose tomorrow. It would be very interesting.
If their games are earlier than ours and if they all win, and if I am the Coach, I may take it easy tomorrow as we have secured 2 Seed.
@Lulufulu I will be happy if we are not in UK, Villanova, and Wisconsin side of brackets. These teams are trending up.
With UVA and Duke losing today, if we beat ISU tomorrow, do we have a case for 1 Seed?
@Lulufulu Thanks. I forgot Svi. As for Greene, HCBS has a track record of pushing "wild horses" out of the stable if the horse remained wild after a few warning. Greene may just be that horse. I am thinking that he will transfer.

Well. We have been busy beating each other up in the Conference play. It is hard to measure how good is the B12 at this moment. I will say that if 4 out of 7 (projected) B12 Team survive the 1st week. As the B12 Champion, we should have a pretty good chance to survive at least 1 of the 2 games in the following week.
The preparation and the games in South Korea may give us a very good start next season. With such preparation and experience, I think we will beat everyone in line at the non conference. With a traditionally great non conference SOS, our stock will be very high.
I assume Oubre and Cliff to be gone. I expect 2 great signings to come. Ellis, Seldon, Jamari, Mason, Devonte, Lucas, Hunter are likely to stay. Greene, I am not sure.
So, Yes. 1 Seed for sure!
Anyway, RCJH!
I was wrong to occassionally visiting the other site and hope the bickering will stop.
I was wrong to think that all the 22K users here are real. And, to be told that most are Spambots.
I will be wrong later to think that we can't win it all. Haha! RCJH!
I wonder what is Tamecka Dixon doing now? She seems to be the best lady J in recent memory. 3 x WNBA All Star and 1 x WNBA Champion.
If I put a Dollar for all (12 Teams), I will break even if UA or UVA win, I will lose when UK, Duke or UW wins. The rest of the teams win, I will make. So, chances for me to make some money are pretty good. I may put 2 Dollar for KU. RCJH!
Thanks to poor 3 point shooting, NCAA issues, Injuries and Suspension, I think we now know who can play Bad Ball well and who can play Good Ball Good. Heck, we may have enough bodies to throw in a Good Ball and Bad Ball Platoons (I preferred to use Team).
IMO, Good or Bad ball, Ellis and Mason will be key. I think they both have learned enough to throw the Bad and Good switches on when HCBS ask them to.
Hope to play KSU again with full strength (don't think Cliff will be back), and wish for a Good and Bad balls game. RCJH!
@Crimsonorblue22 And, if I may add, why does NCAA feels like a Proxy to NBA (they are less when it comes to Football and Baseball).
@Crimsonorblue22 This is what troubles me. NCAA is not protecting its member schools. NCAA only punishes its member schools for something that they have no weapon against. It is ridiculous!
@JayHawkFanToo You are right. Anyway, I think we should move on. We moved on without Embiid. We can move on without Cliff. I just feel sorry for the young man.
@JayHawkFanToo They have nothing to lose, cast the net wide and hope there is a big catch inside. They don't care. Afterall, those "impermissible" stuff is really small feats for them. And, they may have shoe companies money.
In this game of NBA business, the biggest loser is the Universities. What I can't understand is why NCAA is not doing anything to prevent the universities from getting hurt since it is NCAA and not a NBA subsidiary.
Anybody could see that: Kids from limited resources families + Great Basketball Potential + Scheming Agents = Troubles for Universities. There is hardly any fight or defense that the universities can put up.
Therefore, for the sake of College Basketball, just let those who think they can cut it at the NBA go directly from high schools.
Looking at the numbers, our LUCK against the Top 25 on the List is Off the Chart! In KU, we call it "PHOG"! RCJH!
Greatness is not without tribulations! I think we have plenty this season. Therefore, I wish for National Championship! RCJH!
@approxinfinity The "Steal" stands out!
@lincase I think HCBS is reading Jaybate's stuff! We need Jaybate to describe WORST Ball!
What we have gone through this year thus far is unreal:
-
The Game at Champion Classic
-
Point Guard Play no longer an issue
-
Svi seems to be readied for College basketball
-
The Game at the East Coast
-
Oubre emerged as B12 started
-
Conference and Top 25 Leading 3 Point shooting %
-
Texas disappeared
-
ISU hot on the heel, WVU hot on the heel, OU hot on the heel
-
Cliff started at the turning point of B12 games and disappeared quickly
-
Ellis took charge after WVU
-
Teams started to guard our 3 Point threats
-
ISU won and put itself and WVU out of the race
-
TODAY!
Please feel free to add. I am dizzy! RCJH!
This Team can do no worse than 9 losses this season. One better than last year. I sure hope the final losses are no more than 7. RCJH!
Good that I missed the 2nd Half and the OT! Yes! Did this Thread breaks the all time posting number (517) of KUBucket?
Guys, got a job to do. Enjoy the game. RCJH!
Got to take care of the Rebound and protect our own glass. Hope WVU runs out of gas half way thru 2nd half.
There Off Reb is 5 more than our Total. Man
We need to get a Three!
Ellis needs to do more!
Pretty even except the Rebounds!
we need to cut it down to single digit by the half.
@brooksmd This is going to be a FT game. Hope they run out of bodies to foul.
2/12 made FG, can't get worse.
How they come out from this TO is crucial.
May be a good thing that Jamari has to sit now.
If we are going to shoot Threes, put Greene on.
@globaljaybird Sometimes, when watching our games, i don't really know what i am drinking.
@brooksmd Its real drink. Not bad. I think only at the east.
@brooksmd How about Virginia Highland Malt Whisky for a start?
@brooksmd Hope HCBS let him hoist a Three in the 1st play.
Tonight is the night where 8 other teams are rooting for WVU! I think this should motivate us. RCJH!
Think tonight will have a lot of threes as they will scheme on the Boss.
Jay Williams calling Ellis the BOSS!
If there is an award for COD (D=Decade), what would Dicky V say?
Go Christian Garrett, make your 1st and last Start counts! RCJH!
I am thinking about the Clone fan's post (Jaybate like) and how he/she feels now. Also, how does Melvin feels now? His beloved team handed us the trophy. haha
Do we need to Storm our Court tomorrow? Haha
Time for a Great Senior Nite tomorrow! Win it outright and celebrate!
