Toss A Softball To Huggy? Game Thread • Mar 16, 2019 01:52 AM

I really liked Dotson and Grimes inside-out approach. Keep driving and attacking.

Refs are not calling fouls. Physical game. Mitch is playing big down there. Hard assignment. Dave's energy is good. Hope he can come up huge for us.

Self vs Shaka III: Blood Feud • Mar 15, 2019 03:39 AM

It was good. Would like to see him rip it down not get bailed out by foul call. But he got position and got up.

Self vs Shaka III: Blood Feud • Mar 15, 2019 03:36 AM

Grimes GET GOOD

Grimes can't stay in front of Ramey. :fire:

Nice move Lawson.

Self vs Shaka III: Blood Feud • Mar 15, 2019 01:48 AM

When Shaka paces people should chant "Waka Shaka Waka Shaka". I mean, I would.

Wv crushing TT in assists and boards thus far.

Free agency • Mar 14, 2019 12:27 AM

@dylans The Athletic had a piece that was pretty high on the chiefs moves. They said Ford didn't fit Spagnuolos scheme as they thought he was too small to play defensive end. I know nothing of these things. But it also freed up a lot of salary.

Earliest they'd meet is the Sweet 16. Virginia could always lose in the first round again as well.

Lol, they won't. They didn't shoot the 3 nearly as much last year as this year. Their pace of play has sped up, their scoring averages have increased, and they'll have 3 long althetic two way players in Hunter, Diakete and Huff that they didn't have last year.

Bracketology Time • Mar 11, 2019 12:51 PM

@jayballer73 hope not. I don't want to see UVA.

Not getting the Doncic hype • Mar 08, 2019 02:46 PM

Trae Young has been going off recently as well, at least statistically. Both teams are losing a lot of games.

@HighEliteMajor

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

LaGerald "Ephesians 24" Vick's mom knew he had to change his mindset. And LaGerald believed it, but he just couldn't maintain it. He may look back at Kansas as his biggest wasted opportunity. He may look back at it as people screwing him over, as Brannen once seemed to believe (maybe still does). I hope he does neither, or if he does do a bit of the former, I hope he forgives himself and moves on, and I hope he gets his chance to do something great and goes hard after it. There is a fire in the kid. It can still be focused and channelled into something special. It doesnt have to be as an NBA player.

NBA MVP award winners • Mar 07, 2019 01:39 PM

https://www.nba.com/history/awards/mvp ↗

I don't remember if I've ever looked at the list of NBA award winners in it's entirety. It made me think a few things so I thought I would share.

The first is that Embiid will never win an MVP award. A big hasn't won one in 15 years, and that was when Dirk, Garnett and Duncan won. For the same reason I'm skeptical Giannis can win one, but if he does, he's not a true big, as he's 6'9ish and is a face up guy.

Derrick Rose looks stranger with every passing year. I'll have to go back and watch tape.

MJ won 4 MVPs. Magic and he traded off for a bit. Kareem is the only to have won 6. Russell is the only to have won 5. Wilt also won 4 as did LeBron.

The range of time from first to last MVP is also interesting and perhaps understated as a measure of sustained excellence.

Jabbars range was 9 years

Wilt, MJ 8 years

Russell 7 years

It seems impossible now, but were LeBron to win another MVP next year his range would be 11 years.

Bird, Wilt and Russell were the only ones to win 3 in a row.

And Walton won an MVP. Was he really that good? I gotta check the tape

Happy Thursday guys.

Oklahoma had some decent players before the Trae Young circus came to town. Lon's a Hall of Fame coach. Can't win em all.

6-0 says Rock Chalk Championship.

Did Fran just say you know a great player when you see one "like Frank Mason as a freshman"? Maybe I heard him wrong

Too Sooner to Give up OU-KU game thread • Mar 06, 2019 03:32 AM

@DanR i think he's too sped up, and doesn't feel like he can slow down.

Too Sooner to Give up OU-KU game thread • Mar 06, 2019 03:31 AM

Dotson seems ready to hit the showers.

Too Sooner to Give up OU-KU game thread • Mar 06, 2019 03:30 AM

Leads only 13 and then 10. Let's get it down to 10

Too Sooner to Give up OU-KU game thread • Mar 06, 2019 03:29 AM

6-0 run!

Just down 5 minus 15! Let's go!

It was a good run. Thank you Jayhawks. • Mar 05, 2019 12:44 PM

The Silver lining to The Streak likely being over is that we should see a few highlight reels about Kansas celebrating it. The downside is that I'm sure they won't hesitate to mention Adidas problems as the last bookend.

Here's to the next 4 to 11 games • Mar 04, 2019 10:16 PM

Hats off to our young guys trying their asses off to maintain the streak, with all the curveballs and all the pressure they've dealt with. It really is remarkable that they still have a chance to keep it alive.

Why go for 2 down 5 with 30 left, then go inside down 5 again with 10 seconds left?

Mcgurl just fouled makai. Someone call the cops for domestic violence.

The Effort of Grimes • Mar 02, 2019 09:36 PM

Since CBS sucks and I probably won't get to see rebroadcast, did Grimes bring ball up more today and did his emergence throw Dotson off? Was Dotson's role changed bc of Q?

Did other team focus on DD and challenge Q to perform?

The Effort of Grimes • Mar 02, 2019 08:37 PM

How did his catch and shoot look and did he set up on right wing, left wing, or l/r baseline?
