I’m gonna be unbearable when Elmarko and Chris should be the starting 1-2 or 2-3 with Bobby at the 1 next year
Bobby is gonna be in the rafters before he leaves. Lol.
This team is gonna have some ugly minutes but the pretty ones sure are nice.
Bobby for 3!!!
This team could be dangerous in March. They are still figuring so much out.
Do think Udeh is gonna pick up his fair share of fouls this year. Not sure how more haven’t been called on him tbh.
Udeh is a problem on d. Gets his hands on so many balls!
@BShark I thought self WASNT coaching tonight.
@kuballin10 he might have been tired. Tough pace to keep up with.
Bobby player of the year in 2024.
Nope. Jalen is the one.
Big 12 player of the year, jalen Wilson.
Bobby in. Let’s turn up the speed even more.
And Kevin is very good.
Udeh is IMPACTING this game.
Harris, McCullar, Udeh is a sick defensive anchor.
@FarmerJayhawk this teams best d long term is with him down low to protect the rim. I think he’ll get there this year.
Udeh is gonna be good.
Rim protector???
@BShark well he would have cut that first half run with a wild substitution to break the flow. But. Yeah. He’s a pretty good coach I guess.
@BShark like, are coaches not watching the game and seeing him flop around out there?
Why is Harris still out there?
Guys gotta grab that rebound.
Dick in the right spot at the right time again.
MJ this years Remy?
Grady and jalen trying to step into that Och and Braun roles. Will be interesting to see if they can keep it up.
Dick has made a few mistakes driving and jumping into nowhere but that’s about all you can complain about his game right now.
@approxinfinity he plays with the kind of energy self cat resist. Can’t imagine he is on the bench at the beginning (or end) of any game from here on out.
@approxinfinity I can’t tell. But sounds like they may just be saying “dick, dick, dick dick dick”
@bskeet perfect.
@BeddieKU23 so could dick…
Anyone catch what fans are doing after every dick bucket??
Bobby gets downhill FAST
@Jethro mine died too. Had to pull it up on my phone and AirPlay it.
Ok. Figured this was the thread for such a question. Am I wrong or does Kansas still have an outside chance of playing in the big 12 championship game? With three games left on the schedule, KU is 3 games back of the 1 spot and even if TCU lost out, the records would be tied and TCU owns the head to head.
But, Texas, Baylor, and KSU are all 4-2 in conference play while KU is 3-3. Games against Texas and KSU could allow KU to square those records AND own the tie breaker. So it would just be up to Baylor to lose two of the last three. Right? Would seriously love a rematch with TCU.
@FarmerJayhawk Seems like he just hits the right hole every time. Even when it’s for like 3 yards, it’s the best hole there is.
anyone know if we’ve pressed that much in a preseason game before? Was it just a result of being way down or an actual glimpse at a possible strategy this year? Normally the bill self full court defense is just straight man to man pick up your guy on the inbounds but I saw Juan and jalen working traps and trying to really disrupt, leaving a ball hawk like McCullar to get in passing lanes. Will be interesting to see if self pulls that out again or goes back to his normal stuff.
@kuballin10 I watched that whole game. Could have just been a hot shooting night from Tennessee, or if you combine shooting like that with the traditional Rick Barnes, rough house defense, they could be a problem. They were certainly physical in a way Gonzaga just wasn’t ready for. Had a lightning quick guard who facilitated well and drove with an eye to score but awareness enough to find shooters no matter how deep he got.
@drgnslayr Some people might STILL argue it was a mistake to give Dajuan minutes even though we won the whole thing. Those people will be back this year claiming MJ should be getting more minutes over Dajuan. He doesn't make the obviously outstanding plays so he will always be underappreciated.
@BShark He should win coach of the year every year in conference. Except maybe the year Baylor won the natty. And whatever year we lost the streak.
Please underestimate this team. That was the fuel for last years run.
@Crimsonorblue22 If I remember right, that one was. Head shot on a sliding QB. Pretty sure the guy got called for targeting and ejected from the game.

Some perspective on the KU schedule.
Has KU been favored in any game yet other than the first game? Were they favored against Duke? They will be underdogs in EVERY game from here on out and I saw they have the #1 strength of schedule in the country left to go. I keep going back and forth but pretty much think losing out would still be disappointing, one more win is good, two or more is great. Does losing out help us keep Lance?
If anyone would have told me at the beginning of the year that we would be 5-2 with losses of 7 points to TCU (a top 15 team) and 10 points at OU, I would have been over the moon and never would have believed it. We got a bounce back game from OU. They did to us what KU basketball does to folks to get out of a slump. It's what good teams do. Progress has been made without a doubt this year no matter what happens from here on out. Now, for KU football to be a good team, they need to respond to their own mini slump. The defense has been bad the last 6 quarters, the offense has struggled at inopportune times while being overall still very good. And while they've already exceeded anyone's expectations for the year, they now get these next few games to prove if they are a GOOD team or not. Whether they are better than previous Kansas teams going back a decade or more is no longer in question.
My hope for this year is that we are now appropriately placed as a fringe top 25 team sitting in the middle of the big 12 pack.
I assume they’ll go back to not playing every team in football too. That 2007 team was great but did dodge OU, Texas, and Texas tech (I think) when those teams were pretty solid.
@stoptheflop said in Just Beat Duke, OK!:
Duke was much better than I thought they would be. KU definitely had to play its best game to win this. Jalon was great; next level passing and in the first half his rushes gave us a great start to the game. Duke's defense was there on all our big passing plays and mostly stopped the run in the second half. Glad to get this win and move on to Iowa St.
I’d argue the big takeaway is that KU didn’t have to play its best game to win. Lot of mistakes. Penalties. (Some earned. Some not so much) and at least two scores left out there with the early no score on 4 and goal and then the fumble on what was surely a scoring drive.
How many 4ths down conversions did the defense give up after seemingly getting a stop for three downs?
Definitely not a clean game but Kansas was still the better team.
@KirkIsMyHinrich feel like I’ve seen three holds in the last 4 plays.

@approxinfinity Pretty sure that was Chelsea/Tottenham. My buddy is a Hot Spur fan and said that emotions were turned up that entire game. A goal in the 96th minute to secure a tie is always great drama.
