Gave him 3 shot shooting foul, more bullshit
What an awful call
On the floor right?
Thats what he said @wissox ”just a sweet 16 game? Who cares?”
I just showed grant hill to laetner pass to my 12 year old, he was not impressed at all.
Klingon may be fine as a human, annoying as a player
Lol mccullar screaming at elmarko to get away on his corner 3
Kevin Freaking Mccullar
Yay players that want to shoot!
@DanR he was alright, boring but alright, george
Brett fan
Ready for a drawn up bucket
Yeah. Nothing makes a crowd cheer like made buckets
@dylans thatsssss what i thought you said, go wait in the car.
JMac. Now or never. Bet he is in after the break.
We need some offense to knock the swag out of newton
Cant work for elmarko corner possession. That basically means we need to try to reset and get something else. Brings o to screeching halt. Give me JMac!
Dan Hurley gtfo
T this guy up
@DanR def smart
Dickinson cant be the only one defending 2 players in paint
More Kevin block work
@cragarhawk wish jamari was on the inside of the belt
Elmarko a little more discreet on jumpshots is good Elmarko
Is Klingon lefty?
2 weak fouls
Elmarko should not shoot corner 3s
@RockChalkinTexas i dont want to be ESPNs favorite this year. Rather exceed expectations
Im not happy, but pretty confident.
Can we not give this newton kid a career night
@RockChalkinTexas said in BIG GAME!! The Students Are There, We Should Talk:
Way to drive it EJ
Thats right, theres a new EJ in town.
Also the foul on hunter that wasnt one.
Yessssss Kevin
Furphayyyy
Alpha Kevin, lets go!
Boxing out well
Im going uconn by 5
Im sure we will go hard and run better offense. This is a game we should try hard to win.
Noticed Svi’s profile pic looks like he is 35. We sure he was 17 when he got here?
@Texas-Hawk-10 I'd endorse that take except that the ball is not getting distributed by Hunter. Hunter could make guys like Timberlake happy if they got the kickout on the double. They don't. Hunter had 2 assists that game. That's fine, but we're not playing through him. We're playing to him.
@jayballer67 I think we have 3 guys that in theory will be able to do most things well, and then a bunch of guys that have conditional weaknesses that make them hard to play with other pieces
Hunter can score, but can't play D.
Juan can pass and d but can't always score.
Kevin can do everything well but then can't hit the ocean sometimes.
KJ can't shoot outside 7 feet.
Timberlake doesn't do anythign special except shoot, and doesn't get enough shots to do that well here.
It is so much easier to do things with interchangeable parts. Which is why we need to play the young guys, and that's what Self did last night.
Now conventional wisdom @jayballer67 would be that we'll see a different team against UConn. The belt will be tightened; we will experiment less. I do think we see precise offense with the old guys and that leads to some nice polished possessions. However, as someone pointed out, our bench was more productive than our starters yesterday. So... at what point do the young guys get trusted with big boy minutes?
I hope we are moving to a place, and it appears we are, where the draft classes year over year are more well rounded / interchangeable pieces.. less critical flaws to a man.
That sucks.
Did he look like Kip before or after Lafawndahs makeover?
@dylans only because thats where we were as a team. We were backed into a corner of our making and put all our eggs in the Wayne basket while everyone else laid them. Why he averaged 20 pts that year.
How many movies are that down to earth, positive in their message, loving and patient in their character development.
That movie shows you the good in EVERY SINGLE character. In a world full of cinema that shows us everyones internal darkness, Napoleon Dynamite reminds us to see the good in everyone and shows us that compassion and friendship can still rule the day.
Its beautiful.
@mayjay gosh seriously? Such a good movie.
Does that make you Napoleon?
@rockchalkjayhawk ha. I'll self-impose a 3 game ban deferred to next year (maybe preseason, lol)
Wayne was 9 for 14
Mike Lee was 6 for 9
Moody was 2 for 2
JHawk was 1-1
rest of team:
Miles 0-5
Giddens 1-7
Langford 1-7 (hurt/sick)
Giles 0-1
Kaun 0-0
Galindo 0-0
Total : 2 for 18
We outbounded them, we shot a higher percentage.
But we had 4 more turnovers and they had 9 more shot attempts.
We were 1-11 from THREE (Jhawks one bucket from the bench).
We were 22-27 from the line.
They were 8-31 from 3 and 12-16 from the line
It isnt the only team whose post season came to a crashing end (ours or other teams) when their perimeter failed to score and they tried to feed the big man.
Several things about that team make it a tasty cautionary tale. Pass first point guard going 0-5 (all time KU assists leader). No production from the bench. Several NBA level players getting next to zero minutes. A dirth of 3 point shooting.
I didnt really watch the second half @rockchalkjayhawk . He was invisible in the first, for sure.
@Texas-Hawk-10 historically ORU has been pretty good. I guess they suck this year?
Next year will be athletic and spread the floor well if these 3 stay.
I just really like Jamari. Not interested in trashing Nick, but he needs to be elite at 1 thing: shooting. If he isnt, then Mari and Marko need minutes. If he is then he becomes an important weapon. But i dont see the team feeding him like a primary option when hes open. either the coach forces the team to use him or doesn’t, i dont see him as part of this team’s identity organically.
Mari and Furphy look like the guys to inherit his 3s. And Marko and Mari his minutes. Unfortately if Juan isnt coming out Marko Mari and nick are all competing for 2 guard minutes.
This is the beginning of the end of Nicks minutes i think. This was the game to feature him and we didnt.
