Definitely playing like it's a trap game.

Wow, this is like watching jr hi girls
Having watched a 7th grade girls game this week, I can tell you they are still much worse than this and that should be how we torture people.

Baylor up on Virginia with 0;45 seconds to go 1st half- - - -33 - -29
Baylor came out ice cold in the second half. Down 20 to UVA and outscored 27-4 so far with about 11:30 left.
What's up with Colorado? Blew out 24th ranked Texas A&M by 28 today, and beat Tennessee by 12, but have also lost to Grambling and UMass.

Gradey sitting at #16 in ESPN's first draft rankings.
Kevin #51, Jalen #66.
Will be interesting to monitor the movement over the year
I think one thing we do know , it would take a disaster of a year for Grady NOT to go to the NBA draft after a year. - -Enjoy him while we can
Really surprised that J Wil is so low for the 1st release - -off his preformances he has had this year- - wonder what they are seeing that is causing him to be so far down. - -66 isn't even making it is it or right at the bottom
He's gotta prove he can be better than a 30% outside shooter. If he can't he's not an NBA level talent. Honestly, I don't see him sticking even if he gets drafted. Jalen skills seem more suited to the international game anyway and I think he'll end up having a nice career over in Europe.
I’d be ok for them to just add Gonzaga basketball and set the payout at an appropriate level for basketball only. As much as I hate it football drives everything and Gonzaga doesn’t have a football team so their value is considerably less.
Gonzaga's football team has been undefeated for the last 81 years, why would any conference pass on a program of that caliber?
@BShark Louisville lost at home to App St. and UNC only beat Gardner-Webb by 6.
This team has a real chance to repeat if they stay healthy.

Wow, I thought I wasn't going to be able to sleep because of a loss to Duke and the zebras. Now I can't go to sleep because of this awesome finish.
Anyone know how long our winning streak is?
I believe it's at 14 right now.
Flagrant
Syracuse losing at home to Colgate.

Zuby and udeh suck at screening
Sit still let the guard run their man off you
That'll get better as the year goes on.
This team is elite defensively this year. This group could end up rivaling 2008 for best defensive team Self has had.
Are we actually getting the Duke whistle so far?
Yes, you ran Harris over and that was a charge.
Enjoy Dick this year because he's gone after this year.
Refs blew that call, and of course KU goes "ball don't lie" by missing the FT.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in TTech Game thread:
Defense was bad, kicker sucks, Bean has some pretty dang good moments. Just didn’t see that guy. I don’t know if JD is better.
KU wins that game if JD6 is healthy and playing. He's a much better decision maker than Bean is which is why he won the job over Bean. Daniels doesn't make that pass in 4 on 1 coverage at the end of the 1st half that was anywhere from a 3 to 10 point swing in Tech's favor. He also doesn't take that strip sack that sealed the game for Tech. If Bean is our starter all year, KU has maybe 3 wins at this point. With a healthy Daniels, I'm convinced this team would be 8-2 right now with yesterday and the TCU games being KU wins instead of losses.
A snow game going on in Reno between Boise St. and Nevada on CBS Sports.
TCU beats Texas 17-10 to move to 10-0 and clinch a spot in the Big 12 championship game.
Down goes Oregon. The Pac12 will once again miss the playoffs in all likelihood.
Oregon on the verge of losing because of a baffling decision to go for it on 4th down inside their own 35 and not getting it.
That's game
Have to hold them to a FG here to have any chance.
Can we upgrade the kicker this off-season? Borcila can't make anything over 40 and this seems like the 5th or 6th time he's doinked off an upright this year. Upgrading the kicker needs to be pretty high on the priority list for Leipold this off-season.
This ain't soccer Borcila!!!

Even those announcers saw that, saying a lot
Ryan Leaf does know a thing or two about throwing interceptions.
Bullshit

I was at that game when jamiri dunked on UT!🙋♀️
I don't know if you already have tickets for tge game in March, but looks like UT has already sold out Moody Center for the season. Looks like I'm gonna have to hope resale tickets go down because I'm probably not going to spend $200 per ticket to go to that game even though it's likely the only regular season I'll be able to make.

Same, I believe that game was the first time I saw KU win in Austin.
@DCHawker said in Fargo Game Thread:
Defensive intensity has slacked. NDSU on pace for a 40 pt half...
Hard to keep up that level intensity with that big of a lead after a break.
Nelson needs to shave that thing off his lip.
MJ definitely has an aggressive mindset that Self will love. Also will frustrate the hell out of Self plenty with his freshmen growing pains.
@benshawks08 said in Fargo Game Thread:
I’m not sure it’s fair to have McCullar and Juan out there at the same time.
Dick's been very impressive as well with his defense. A line up of Udeh, Adams, McCullar, Dick, and Harris could shut some teams out for long stretches.
I'm assuming this team still has plenty of room to grow defensively this season as they get more used to playing with each other. This team seems like it has a chance to be the best defensive team in the country come tournament time.
Those are the 3's Harris has to make.
Never noticed how big MJ Rice's ear are. Get him a magic feather and he could fly above the floor and core with ease.
@wissox said in Fargo Game Thread:
@BShark That may be but I'm still bored!
These are also the games where bench players develop and become contributors in more important games down the road.
@wissox said in Fargo Game Thread:
I wish we were playing a good team. These types of games are the worst. They ought to give the fans there a refund. Shooting 54% means nothing. Wilson scoring 17 in a half? So what. It's like a D3 team they're playing.
I'd rather one or two tune up games to before playing a really good team. And most of KU's non-confernce cupcake teams are usually still against teams projected to finish near the top of their leagues so usually a 1st round NCAA Tournament caliber of team.
Clemence seemed like he was better defensively last year.
Best case scenario at the 5 spot to me is Clemence and Udeh splitting those minutes and KJ playing the 4 spot because his rebounding deficiencies are much less important if he's next to Clemence or Udeh who are both capable rebounders.
I want to see Clemence play well because his shooting can create so much more offense for this team.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Fargo Game Thread:
Rice has a lot of Wayne Selden in him.
Good Wayne, not not so good Wayne, right???
Hopefully good Selden, but he's a freshman so I'm sure some bad Selden will show up too.
Rice has a lot of Wayne Selden in him.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Fargo Game Thread:
I just want to see if KJ is capable of getting more than 1 defensive rebound in a game.
KJ sure struggles to shoot
I'm going back to last year with my gripes on KJ, but I'm much less concerned with his lack of scoring at the 5 spot than I am with his lack of defensive rebounding ability at the 5 spot. He is still the worst defensive rebounding big man I've ever seen and that's going to bite KU in the ass at some point in an important situation.
Dick is a very high IQ player and that's the best part of his game.
Burnt Dick on that play
I just want to see if KJ is capable of getting more than 1 defensive rebound in a game.
My thoughts: Gradey Dick is a stud, McCullar will be in contention for B12 DPOY, Jalen Wilson will contend for B12 POY, Harris was tied for 2nd in shot attempts so hopefully that keeps up.
I still think KU needs to get Zach Clemence going to reach their ceiling this year, but with the way Udeh looked, I think Self and staff should look at Clemence at the 4 spot because he has the skill set to play the 4 which I think is his natural position.
