Timber 4-5 from 3, where’s that been all year?
Timber looking good tonight
Nice to be on the good end of a spanking, especially with the kittens
@nuleafjhawk said in BYU Thread:
I'm an old timer. Back in the Danny Manning era, I used to tape every game (VHS even). I knew every player, every coach, every stat. I knew our records against all of our so called rivals - I was an obsessed KU basketball junkie. It actually was starting to interfere with my home life.
My home life is fantastic now. I haven't watched the last 6 or 7 games. Haven't "taped" a game to watch in years. Actually, my TV does record KU football, basketball and the Chiefs, but I've only watched one KU b-ball game that I've recorded. Against OU a few weeks back.
I guess I've gone from obsessed fanatic to fair weather fan. I like this a lot better. My blood pressure is where it should be most of the time and my wife and I enjoy doing things together or just watching a good movie or show.
I'll watch the March Madness until we get knocked out in the second round by Arkansas Pine Bluff or someone equally lame.
I didn’t tape the Danny Manning games but I watched them live on tv, so I’m an old guy too. Losses used to really throw me in a funk for a bit too. Being a mostly fair weather fan is so much easier emotionally. If the team isn’t gelling stepping away and doing other things is way better than getting upset and brooding.
I’m probably way off base on this, but I just wondered if since Bill’s heart issue that in the name of self preservation (ha! Accidental pun) if he hasn’t maybe stepped back a little himself and that perhaps the intensity levels have dropped somewhat in other areas? Maybe the drive to condition and prepare play defense has eased just a little? Like Bobby Knight said, “Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win.”
Obviously teams are going to lose games and shooters are going to go through cold spells. I guess for me the losses are a little easier if I see the players leaving everything out on floor, giving that extra effort, and then coming up short.
Or maybe they are, but in a sport where winning relies on so many variables working well together, that just losing the Big 12’s leading scorer cascades outward?
Regardless, I just want to watch well-coached, well-prepared teams play hard - and usually that’s what the Jayhawks are and it often translates into success. If not, then there are a lot of other ways to spend my free time.
@kjayhawks go UCF! They beat a really good team a while back ;-)
Pretty good half overall
Seemed like a good game, wish I could have seen it, but was nice to read the comments, thanks all.
Sure hope that was the get right game. Good guys win again
That dunk should do it today. Sure played a lot better in the second half
Surprised we’re up by 8, getting some rebounds helps
Good fit or not, we wouldn’t score many points without Hunter and we already struggle to hit 50 on the road
Somebody said it earlier today - I now expect DJs shots to not go in.
Something is just off with this team
Some bad passing, but Hunt slides it in
Wonder if they’ll storm the court
@Zabudda yea that just breaks my heart too
Down by single digits at the half, we’ve been in worse spots
Have to agree with Fran (ugh) it’s kinda now or never for Timber to pony up for us
TT energy is off the charts. Wish we had Kev. Ah well, dam hard to win on the road in the B12
Nice move by dj
Dang we got lucky, but good guys win again
Whew
I didn’t see a foul but I’ll take it
Def do not get a T
Throwing bricks right and left
Big D
Well that was an ugly possession
Dang, that lead got small quick
19 Turnovers, that is some good D
Sure hope so, what a difference that would make
his last 3 looked good, until it didn’t
Timber finally getting hot
Hunt finding the bunnies again
Make that 18
Good D guys
17 turnovers, whew
Another 3 and from the bench, finally!
DJ for 3 finally!!
Kj had his 15 min quiet time, now let’s see him go
An FT and a bench point, nice
If somebody gets even semi-hot on either team, it probably sways this game. Hope it’s us!
We’re lucky they’ve turned it over 14 times or we’d be in serious trouble
Ack, 3rd hunt bunny miss
Another hunt bunny miss and an open 3 for them, ouch
Another DJ bunny miss, ouch
Furph!
@DanR that’s my guess too
Wonder if there was other stuff leading up to the T we didn’t hear?
I thought the T was because Bill said “unbelievable “ which seems really lame
@rcjhdraft yes, and unexpected from a HOF coach, wonder what the deal is?
