@BeddieKU23
I hope Lon stays close to the program and helps Moser out with the transition.

Here's a nice rundown about Moser:

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 18, 2021 01:04 AM

@mayjay no, it really doesn't. Damn. It's hard to imagine feeling about a team like I felt about that one again. Certainty that we were the best team in the country. Confidence that our talent and experience could carry us. Trust that our second unit was good enough to play with anyone.

@drgnslayr timely article comparing Kansas and Baylor: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/31645615/sales-pitch-discussion-how-baylor-became-baylor-kansas-return-being-kansas ↗

Wondering also how Porter Moser will do at Oklahoma. What he did at Loyola was remarkable.

Jo Jo just been a beast so far • Jun 17, 2021 11:02 AM

LeBron pointing at the condensed season as the reason all the stars are gimpy. He's not wrong.

Big series starts tonight • Jun 17, 2021 01:15 AM

@wissox your Sox are killing it. Big win over TB.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 17, 2021 01:00 AM

@drgnslayr too bad Jerome Tang isn't on our staff.

NBA Draft Entrants • Jun 16, 2021 10:55 PM

I've haven't seen a better on ball defender than Marcus. I could see that translating to the NBA. He just needs to be able to hit a wide open shot and force teams to guard him on the other end. Play on a team with a top 5 offensive player; I could see teams trying to scrap together a complimentary roster for cheap taking a long look at Marcus.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 15, 2021 06:15 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 @FarmerJayhawk yeah that's fair.

And Markieff.

I think all of the notoriety we've had regarding our underachieving bigs has clouded my perception. De Sousa, Cliff, Diallo, BP, Bragg, Giles off court issues, Landen and Moody as starters, Dokes FT form and injuries, Dedrics lack of athleticism, Darrells green room issue, whiffing on big targets that seemed locks like Hurt, Tarzewski, others.

Feels like year-in, year-out our question marks are always what we will get from our PG and our bigs. Not our wings.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 15, 2021 12:34 AM

I want to see Self put more PGs and Cs in the league. Least worried about wings.

Christian Eriksen's Heart Stopped • Jun 13, 2021 06:43 PM

@BShark yeah it's nuts. Life like a light switch, off and back on.

Christian Eriksen's Heart Stopped • Jun 12, 2021 11:53 PM

During a Denmark vs Finland match today, Denmark star Christian Eriksen collapsed while running to a ball and wasn't moving. They had to revive him with a defibrillator. Hope he's 100% after this. Awful to see.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 12, 2021 01:55 PM

@rockchalkwyo he was, but Dave wasn't on that 2017-2018 roster.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 12, 2021 12:25 PM

Doke was a McD. I think he was the only left on either roster.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 12, 2021 12:23 PM

Thomas Robinson and Devonte Graham were first team All Americans.

Seriously? • Jun 12, 2021 12:12 AM

@mayjay I look forward to seeing Dave with a complimentary team. Looking forward to 3 assists for 3 pters per game.

So glad to be back my friends • Jun 11, 2021 10:12 PM

@jayballer67 glad you're ok. Scary. You getting some exercise? I haven't been good about it. But starting to take more walks.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Jun 10, 2021 10:48 PM

I wish Silvio well. People make big mistakes. Still young. Can grow up.

@Texas-Hawk-10 ah yeah gotcha! Wasn't thinking about what you said right, and thought you were referring to some overlap in their game, now or future.

Makes sense about the schollie

@Texas-Hawk-10 I never considered Curry's minutes would be impacted by Agbaji. Interesting.

Wilson returns 90% confidence) Agbaji gone (70% confidence) .

Glad Bobby took #0. I hope he sees Frank in himself.

No Remy Martin on there yet. Does he like #4?

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 07, 2021 01:09 AM

Wowow @Kcmatt7 i just saw! Because Alabama lost and they would have to fit both games in today, they bumped both to tomorrow. Crazy good luck!

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 06, 2021 11:36 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 they play again tonight because they were in the winners bracket but yeah. I don't think they can win without odicci pitching and I don't think she can pitch second game of a doubleheader

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 06, 2021 06:43 PM

Jmu just tied it up with a 3 run bomb. Go Dukes!

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 06, 2021 04:58 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 wow that's awesome!

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 06, 2021 12:43 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 nice! This the first time they've ever won?

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 06, 2021 03:08 AM

@DanR makes me wonder if a MLB pitcher could use the fast pitch motion and possibly be different enough to get outs and pitch more often with less wear on the arm.

I was mistaken. Jmu will play the winner of OU and UCLA, right now UCLA is down 4-3 at the end of the 4th.

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 05, 2021 07:31 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 nice!

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 05, 2021 12:54 PM

PS did you know that at the distance the plate is from the rubber, a 70 mph softball gets to the plate faster than a 100 mph fastball in baseball?

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 05, 2021 12:17 PM

@mayjay haha thanks! I'm just amazed at how much fun it's been watching them. They have a levity and joy and focus bringing their all that is fantastic.

Next up they face a Bama team with a pitcher who pitches in the 70s and threw a perfect game last night against UCLA, I think the fifth ever in the WCWS.

This is going to be a tough tough game. Sunday at 1!

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 05, 2021 01:48 AM

Unbelievable finish against OK St. In the 7th, up 2-1,Oddici Alexander got lead runner in pickle but 3rd baseman called for obstruction. 2nd and 3rd no outs. Gets a pop out, then fields a squeeze bunt and dove to tag the runner at home, cutting open her pitching elbow, and then getting the 3rd hitter to pop out on 3 pitches. Right now, Oddici is the coolest college player I may have ever seen.

JMU advances to a matchup with either UCLA or Alabama

First time an unranked team has won their first two games. Alexander scored the first run (she also is batting. 330) and Kate Gordon, who had gone 2-27 before hitting the the game winning homerun against OU, hit what proved to be the game winning HR for JMU's second run.

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • Jun 04, 2021 11:10 PM

BTW anyone see my Dukes beat now 51-3 oklahoma?? So special!

Playing OK St right now

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 04, 2021 09:20 PM

I think it speaks to building with upperclassmen vs flipping burger boys. You know Roy had 8 McDonalds All Americans over 2018-2020, and he said his team last year was his least talented over? Lol.

For a while it worked when he had less attrition, but you can't build a return core out of McDs any more, 3 of his 4 from last year are leaving. I think that ship permanently sailed this year.

I doubt K and Roy like the challenge of the brave new world of the almighty transfer portal.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 04, 2021 08:38 PM

I wonder if Scheyer will be a good coach. Maybe Duke actually gets better. UVA already was dominating the conference. Duke hadn't won the ACC in 10 years.

@drgnslayr I gladly submit my comment to the creative commons.

Coach K to retire after 21-22 season • Jun 03, 2021 03:14 AM

@joeloveshawks I read that as "hearing his name consonantly"

History of Kansas vs. Duke • Jun 03, 2021 03:12 AM

So 3-3 in Self Era. Not bad when playing against 9 Burger Boys yoked up to a Rat Weasel's Hell Sleigh.

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • May 30, 2021 09:08 PM

They beat Mizzou best out of 3! Wooo. Odicci pitched all three games, 1 and 3 were complete games.

Next up #1 ranked Oklahoma

2022 Recruiting Thread • May 30, 2021 11:20 AM

@BShark lefty.

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • May 30, 2021 02:23 AM

Huh the VA Tech pitcher pitched 3 games in a row. I guess thats what they do.

Welcome Sydney Curry! • May 30, 2021 12:27 AM

@jayballer67 so there was one game he willed us back into by absolutely going off from 3. If he can find that more often that would be a big leap forward. But mostly, I agree with your assessment.

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • May 29, 2021 11:31 PM

Wellp. 1B botched a 2 out, 1 rbi play at first and then Mizzou hit a 3 run homer.

Was surprised Alexander was pitching today after going 7 yesterday. Could have saved her for game 3. Is this unusual for softball?

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • May 29, 2021 11:24 PM

Mizzou fan holding up "Free Base" sign. This checks out.

Jmu Softball! The magical run continues • May 29, 2021 11:24 PM

On ESPN 2 right now. This might get ugly early. Odicci Alexander is a bad ass that pitched a complete game win for JMU yesterday, but she is pitching again today and getting roughed up in the 2nd.

JMU is my alma mater. School I like vs school I don't.

Welcome Sydney Curry! • May 29, 2021 10:49 PM

@jayballer67 i think Och has been a pretty competent defender for stretches, he just occasionally got lost. He has the body and athleticism for it. Also JCL has hit his ceiling. Hoping Och has yet to.

Niko Roberts • May 29, 2021 01:21 PM

Well that was quick!

Welcome Sydney Curry! • May 29, 2021 03:44 AM

@FarmerJayhawk ok. I know people feel that way it's just hard to imagine our starting 1 and 2 both being 6 feet tall. You think Martin and Yesufu start?

Welcome Sydney Curry! • May 29, 2021 02:39 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 said

If this is because of Ochai coming back though, Self may legitimately end up going 10 deep this year. Who ends up getting bumped from the starting line up? Yesufu, JCL, or Wilson?

Wondering same thing. If Ochai and Wilson are locks I wonder if Yesufu, JCL and CB will be happy. I'm guessing Yesufu is most likely to come off bench, but can fill in for both 1 and 2.

CB, Yesufu and JCL PT will live and die by the 3.

Jalen Coleman-Lands • May 28, 2021 12:39 PM

Hard to imagine if he's shooting well keeping him off the court. How are his handles?
