Our sorely needed bench 3 point scorers were 1-10. Liked Elmarko's improvement. Jamari with offensive boards and 4/4 from the line.

A sad part in this will be the victim of the rape or sexual assault will have to go through being humiliated during the trial if there is one.
Yes like why are we spotting teams double digit leads with too much frequency. Puts us into the position of needing heroics to score 40-45 second half points it seems. but we are capable of those bursts especially when our bench helps. I guess we will be an exciting team.
This is america after all. We pay a lot for a little and if there is no money in something it either will not get done or you are on your own.

@mayjay HOA’s exist solely because employment opportunities with the Nazi party are no longer a thing
Here I thought that the resurgence of Nazis was the logical outgrowth of Americans creating authoritarian and autocratic enclaves, and submitting to losing their rights in exchange for some perceived economic protection...
And in the end it was in response to a manufactured non-existent threat. no excuse for it.
KEVIN!!
I hope Yale fans are saying, why do we always get someone who has a career night against us?
22 missed shots and only 3 offensive rebounds.
Thanks to Yale for playing down to our level.
MIST shot 67% from deep.
That's true.
Someone who tells a grieving mother their child is in a better place. Gee thanks. Someone who tells a groom "keep her barefoot and pregnant." I wish you would have told me sooner so I could've put that in the wedding vows. The governor of Arkansas. OMFG. People who list a pet peeve and include a snappy comeback.
By a half arsed football school.
The shooting kept creeping up and we didn't have a TO for most of the second half.
Juan and Kevin!
Whew!
I'm reviving the El Kabong award for best big ass dunk. Hope it's El Marko once. Lol Kabong to me. If perchance there is more than one that is worthy I may name the second one Baba Louie. You are welcome!
I reset anew every year. Since I have no real knowledge of how the players are looking out for themselves I like some more than others.
There is so much more going on than we know about so why worry so much? I find myself living and dying with the Hawks every year.
I'm sticking around because I like it.

@Zabudda I'm wondering what it will be like for me there Saturday. Actually thinking of not wearing KU stuff.
IDK. Nothing like going stealth.
It's not out of the question we could be 20-1 and end up 22-9 after our brutal closing stretch.
Just looking in from outer space.
Indiana fans are ranked as 13th for obnoxious home court fans and loud about it. Profanity and nasty chants. Hunter rhymes with **, Furphy has herpes, Hairass Hairass Hairass, really not too much work with for them.
Good idea that shows leadership. TY.
Just a few things. I like all of our first year Jayhawks because they may look scattered sometimes but every one plays hard. Parker I'm impressed with your skill and court awareness and you are already proving you are what we needed. Timberlake just keep playing fearless and hard and your shot will start falling when the offense finds you in the flow of things. Johnny your shot is sweet thank you and your defense may not be there yet but the last couple of games you recognize that and in the Mizzou game you got picked by a screen but astonished me when you did a sideways 15' broad jump trying to get back in front your man and swiping at the ball as you landed scaring the heck out of the ball handler. Hell yeah. Elmarko I see you as a computer that is still booting up and your sly little passes during your lane incursions would get more credit if Hunter and KJ were more aware as your passes were bouncing off of them. Jamari you keep on focusing on your defense because you are already good at it and a kamikaze drive or two will do more damage to the defender than yourself. All of you should keep chucking it up because that's what we need when you are on the floor. Our fab four are doing their part but still need your help to survive.
The Jayfrosts.
Because he lied about what happened. That was fun.
Steve Stepanovich, Anthony Peeler, Jon Sunvold, Kareem Rush and Derek Chievious all made me want to puke.
Edey gets 35 as Purdue squeezes past the Tide. 11/11 FT's. Norm Stewart and my Uncle Paul (Anderson County KS) taught together at NIU and were friends before The Norm went to Mizzou. It's been downhill ever since for them and the whole state. My Dad (Allen County KS) called them Pukes. They got that name when a lead ore was discovered in Galena Il. In 1820 the uncouth ruffians. from border towns around St. Louis poured in IL looking for jobs. Governor Ford said Missouri had vomited or puked the ruffians on Illinois.
I think a kicker monikered as The Toe and a player named The Man make me think, okay who's next after these two? I wish we had Hargrove facing Don Drysdale or Bob Gibson.
Baseball has probably the best names. Three Fingers Brown. The Big Train (Kansas boy), The Scooter, Mudcat Grant, Stan The Man, Joltin Joe, The Splendid Splinter, Satchel.
Don't tempt me mayjay. We could take this clear down to school songs. My wife just asked me what are you smiling at?
Well thew Farts and the Lady Farts both lost to The Febreze Lilacs.
I really only know what I see from watching KU and we have seen how unconscious teams can be against us like UK in the first half against us bombs away and UConn's Alfred E. Newton hitting wtf shots adnaseum after being 7/27 (25%) before our game. I think we won both of those. Marquette again reminded us that we get the very best efforts against us every freaking game. Other teams think the Jayhawks are impossibly good while we bitch about Timberlake missing shots. We follow the other top teams and watch their stats and think they are better than they are and wonder how they lost to the Beantown Farts or whomever. It's just fun to look at the numbers this time of the season.
Average player who, when he started, may have made Chet Holmgren look fatter. And a great song.
Vanover from Cal to Arkansas to Oral Roberts to Missouri.
The game was like zero margin for error was part of it probably. We were lucky they missed that wide open three for the win.
Numbers one, three and four go down. Houston got away with one.
DaJuan can/will make those driving sweeping shots as we have seen before. They were clean looks but just didn't fall. Their center wasn't really a huge factor and we should credit Hunter for using his stout frame and savvy to good effect. Clingan looked like he has close to an 8' wingspan and taller than Hunter. Hunter frustrated him while outscoring, out rebounding, out shot blocking and all with zero turnovers. And a special thanks to ESPN studio hosts saying UConn will beat us in the post season. So sorry we pissed them off. UConn had no answer for KJ who can shut down a shooting guard and jump rim high and monster jam like a cat jumping on a Christmas tree. I think Elmarko, who is as chill as my granddaughter when I tell a Dad joke, is going to have a breakout game soon. Who else gets excited when our 6'9" SG/SF/?? splashes one, or two? And Kevin, who is like our garage band front man, gets all the chicks. Self can just keep on cashing those royalty checks. I think he likes this team. He should.
Furphy goes 2/3 from deep.
OMG KU 69 UConn minus Newton 34.
You hit shots it's wonderful.
70 points wins this one.
Elmarko is our best freshman and he's really not ready either.
1-10 misses.
I think we only have two big Monday games.
We have played really well and they have stayed in touch by hook and crook. If this defense effort holds it's looking good.
Kevin missed 6 last
game and two tonight.
I dislike giving up second chance points and turnovers. Could be key tonight.
If Hunter and Kevin get 40 (doable), KJ and DaJuan get 20 (eh ?)and Elmarko, Parker, The Furph, McDowell and Timberlake get three each that's 75 and with our defense we will be in every game. Is that too much to ask? This means some nights we need to pick each other up. Uh-huh.
It's weird. Coach said it was weird of the player but "that's just the way these kids are now." Smiling the whole time. We don't know if someone gave him a come to Jesus meeting. Weird.
He played 16 minutes in the second half. Louisville has never had the tights he wanted but he toughed it out with 8 points and five dimes.
@Gorilla72
Musselman had to withstand Duke's inside game and got Duke in foul trouble early and blocked 10 shots but had to because they gave up 11 offensive rebounds. Filipowski showed up in the second half with 22 points in the half and he is the real deal. Arkansas played defense as hard as they could all game and fumbled away, during the last 6 minutes, their 14 point lead. It didn't seem Duke was that deep on the bench.
