@wissox Very true. you look at Frank for the season shooting 54.9% from three, now you ready for this? - -Frank is shooting 68.4% from three in Big 12 play - - Frank is shooting 53.2% from the filed over all 74.7 free throw % BUT 86.2% in Big 12 play 5.6 asst's per game and scoring 20.4 over all But 22.7 in Big 12 per. I dunno would be sweet but who knows? - -I know Frank would take a National Championship over player of the year - -but then again IF w won the National Championship there would be a really good chance he gets both. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@wissox ya, I'm sure they will but also realizing people's safety. I know that North Carolina and North Carolina St had to be re-scheduled this year already and that was because of Snow - -Ice is worse and we all know ESPN was in control of the North Carolina game - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Sorry little off topic with this thread but concerning T's. - -I've seen some other Big 12 games recently - other Big 12 players and their reactions to calls and displays - -very similar to Josh - -and no T called, I'm serious almost identical to Josh reaction and nothing - -I call bullshit to this - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Kcmatt7 Well for me? - -me too BUT I'm a huge Packer fan, My Boys playing really good ball right now, BUT I'm afraid about our Game Sunday. - - I like the Chiefs pull for them too, watch them play hope they pull the win, This Ice might play a huge role in the game with the Chiefs may turn out to be who has a better running game right? - -For my game with the Cowboys just to bad our top receiver Jordy more then likely won't play because of an illegal hit to the ribs Sunday which they even said was an illegal hit. But we still have TE- - Cook, and Randall, and our other main boy Devonte Adams and then of course Aaron 44 td passes and 7 int's leading the NFL much better lately. - -Dallas beat us earlier, BUT like the analysts saying GB playing a lot better now a whole different team - -still don't know - -GOOD LUCK KC - - -GO PACK - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@KUSTEVE If Frank can just maintain that consistency he has shown this year - -who knows might just take that puppy, would be well deserved for sure. -- I'm just afraid the Coast Biased will screw him over, Josh Hart? - -ya he is a very good player, BUT is he better then Frank? - -I don't think so, maybe that's just my Crimson and Blue bleeding through - -BUT I mean who would suffer more if Villanova was to lose Hart - OR KU lose Frank? - -would be close but I think we have THE GUY - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Guys and Gals, we could have a problem - - - HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM - LOL. - - No seriously my friends not sure if everyone up to date - -sure you are, BUT we might have a problem with the game Saturday. We may not be able to play the game Saturday. -- Us one's that are here in Kansas know we have a HUGE ice storm coming in. Surpose to start Friday a little bit, but the majority Saturday afternoon through the night and into most the day Sunday,They may postpone - - re-schedule because of the ice. - - National Weather service/National weather channel saying Kansas & Missouri is ground zero for this storm. - - Looking at possibly 1/2 of ice or more - -NOT GOOD. - - - It might come in later Saturday afternoon just heads up my Jayhawk Brothers and Sisters - - -most of all IF you go and they DO play - -BE SAFE MY FRIENDS. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@wissox Ya figures their mentality level. - -Do you agree with me? - -Doesn't that seem like a little off? - -I mean we have had huge games. - - - - Even like what last year KU-UK that was a big game we didn't storm the court, KU-OU we didn't storm the court - -act like you belong you know what I'm sayin? Act like you've been there before. - - Well guess what, when we play there, if we DO LOSE - -they WILL STORM THE FLOOR AGAIN - -they just don't get it. - -to me it takes away from the win - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 I'm just wondering, IF Billy is ok, academics and DOES land here 100% for sure, which I THINK when it's all said and done he will, BUT I'm wondering just a smidge, you think their is a possibility Carlton does the in-thinkable and leaves?- -I mean like sure stupidity but still declares for the NBA OR decides to try over sea's ball after this year? - -If Billy comes in and takes Carlton's spot - -possible playing time? I know it sounds crazy but with what has happened this year, what he has been through, how he has played at least so far this year, then Billy landing here next year, maybe just might be to much and him just say screw it. - -What you think? Would be a really, really bad move but not totally impossible situation that could develop. What you think? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
WOW, WELL NOT REALLY WOW, but guess I understand, don't see much future here, really didn't come through when he had his shot - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Kind of off Subject BUT what did you all think of WV court storming last night after Baylor ? - -My thought is WHY? Act lime you belong, Act lime you have been there before. I mean your ranked 10th in the Nation,SURE Baylor was number 1 - -But come on, you consider this an upset? - -Your on your home floor and again YOU are 10th. - -An upset would be an unranked team beating the # 1 team - -Again act like you belong - me personally I just think makes them look bad. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY L;ONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 And have we been looking at him, recruiting him? seems like we always turn out just fine - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@hawkmoon2020 Latest projection in the NBA Mock draft SVI is a projected as a 1st round pick # 27 to Houston - -not sure about Graham don't see him in the latest projections. Wouldn't surprise me though if he doesn't do the new thing of trying out for scouts you know where you get a chance to work out hear what NBA scouts are having to say and then deciding whether to declare or not - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Just read Trae's latest blog from yesterday, said he was closer to making his decision. Said actually the recruitment had become kind of stressful. - - thought it was closer not sure just when, said he couldn't go wrong with any of the five schools. - - -Said he may try to make it up to Lawrence catch a game - -not sure yet. I'm not concerned about that statement as he has been to KU multiple times, He WASN'T at the game last night but told he was watching the game, got that from another source. - -I think were close - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 the offensive out pit you are absolutely right - -ha, a poster off another fan board said we scored the 17 points at the start of the 2md half was scary good - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Umm agree or disagree doesn't matter to me really that's what this site's for right? - We all have opinions and it's all good that's why I like it - -got some really avid exp( as myself - -maybe good thing - maybe not ) but seems ALL are very knowledgeable fans, we just agree to did agree sometimes and that's fine:
Now having said that, this is what I'm seeing and thinking AT THIS POINT. I see this team of ours losing 3 MAYBE EVEN losing one at Allen, I say this off the teams performance at lot of times to this point. # 1 our defense: our defense is umm not so good, STILL to many open drives to the rim - no protection, Landen can't because of being afraid of foul trouble with no back up, our help defense is sad - -way to many open three's by our opponent. # 2 Not being able to play a consistent - -NOT A GREAT GAME but just a consistent good game, last night perfect example, First half sucked, second half really good- - for the most part, it's been this way all year. really good 10 minute stretch here, 5 minutes there, BUT not a full 40 minutes of consistency. # 3 NO Bench to speak of, you tell me, other then Frank who has been consistent? GOD forbid if Frank runs into foul trouble, then what? who can really take charge of the team? not only dealing with Frank BUT dam Bragg has got to get his act together, Lucas is steady now but if he is in foul trouble were screwed - -Lightfoot - -not ready Bragg is a no show Coleby -- ummm NO
Right now watching the guys with what I'm seeing our defense, lack of bench, inconsistency I can see the following losses: -- WV- - @ WV - - -Baylor @ Baylor - - & very possible WV @ Allen if we don't get things notched up some - -ya I know you may not want to hear this, you may think I'm nuts, hey that's fine again it's all good, we all have our voice me? right now - -I just think WV is playing better overall ball agree or disagree it's ok -- just one persons opinion, again that's why I like this site - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 Ya Texas Tech missed THREE free throws in the closing minute and a half, they make them and there wouldn't of been a T - -but still glad to see Weber lose. was just thinking to myself Tech dam man you guys are better then this your on your own home floor - -STILL not impressed with KSU. I can't wait till we play them in Manhattan I feel the game will be totally different, I fully think that our guys will be out to prove a point that night. - -Either way whether they think they got robbed or not - -it still is an L - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I'm sorry to say this - - -wait no I'm not, But I am afraid Morgantown is going to be a nightmare when we play there on the 24th. Especially if it happens like has been mentioned tonight from the poster of this thread. we got SPANKED on the boards in the 1st half, and there was really no reason for that. Coach Self said it in his post game, players said it. I can see even as talented as Josh is - -when it comes time to play West Virginia, I'm afraid he is going to get sped up in that environment, and have many turnovers, costly. I would of never thought 30 turnovers by Baylor? To me honestly West Virginia is not playing the best are for sure right there with us this season. They are a very scary team.
Have to ask, when is the last time our team has played an entire 40 minutes of good ball? Seems like Coach has to light their butts up at half to get the response they should have for the game. - I don't remember when we have played an entire 40 minutes of quality ball. Last night the last 20 minutes was really good, but who here didn't see that coming? - -I can bet you the paint was blistered in the locker room at half.
Now I know that are going to be some of you that think OH I'm just a negative Nellie - - -No not at all I'm proud of how the guys responded, I'm proud of how we have done this season - -But I am also realistic enough to realize that come into the WV game I'm worried about Josh - - not because he is not a good player - -WE ALL know he IS GOOD, REALLY GOOD, just afraid he is going to get really sped up and cause him to turn it over, I'm worried about my boy Lucas, - -he has really come around - -but we all know he is always wanting to bring the ball down a lot - -gonna get stripped - - worried about SVI and his passing decisions - - NOT worried about Frank & Devonte BUT they just can't do it by their selves. We can not afford to fall behind 9-10 points to WV big Difference between playing Oklahoma on their home court and being down 9 - -then being down 9 to WV on their home floor, and we all know how we struggle at WV anyways - -The 24th would be a sweet night to see that complete 40 minutes of quality ball I've been talking about - -looking for - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 Understand completely what that statement means & agree 100% - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Guys it is time for people to really get serious about Frank as POY. I know we already know, but people will say we biased. But I mean DAM., this kid just comes out the 2nd half and says I'm taking over, and taking over he did. Thing is this isn't the only time, this guy is doing this all year I mean he had like 27 points and then just kind of shut it down -but you wanna talk total dominance on the offensive end that's Frank written all over it.
Now I'm sure our boy won't get the award a lot due to Coast Biased but that's ok we ALL KNOW Frank has took control - -this is HIS TEAM mercy his unbelievable 3pt shooting. I mean we are looking at 53 % shooting over the year and we are approaching half way in. Hosh got more aggressive in the 2nd half BUT this was Definetely Franks show -- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
how ya liking the game so far boys? - -let me say it for ya - -they playing like shit - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Mot really sure how comfortable I would feel if I was West Virginia. I mean Baylor turns the ball over 16 times in the 1st half and you only up 7 - that's really not that impressive. If Baylor settles a little in the 2nd look out. Plus we all do know there is NO WAY we are going to be able to watch like almost the 1st half of our 1st half with Oklahoma as this will turn in to a foul fest they won't get finished till like 8:15 - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well just curious, what you think the chances are that Trae is at the game tonight? - -Seems like it's down to us two pretty much, KU & Oklahoma for his landing spot. - -Would be a really good time for him to come check out how were playing, he has stated he wanted to watch the teams that he was considering, this would be a really good time.
I know we have been hitting him hard for quite some time Bill been to see him at a game the other day - -Norm was there to see him last night - -I am feeling better, still wanna get him to Allen AGAIN soak up the atmosphere just see how crazy it gets. - -He was saying he was trying to make a decision in January last I knew, not sure if it's still that way or not, would be a really big catch -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 Excellent points, the exact point I am trying to convey. - -We have had our injuries, and made it shaky, but were managing - - -BUT the TWO that we CAN NOT absolutely CAN NOT have any type of injury to, is to either of these guys. - -Even though it hasn't happened for the last game maybe two is Devonte's cramping, just worries - -any type of injury to these guys either one would be very critical maybe to much to over come just keeping fingers crossed - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@jaybate-1.0 LMAO, I wonder if they could pick me off and then drop me off in Vegas - -been wanting to go but my Truck is broke down, no way to get there right now, could use the lift lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 oh I knew it wasn't personal to me, all I'm sayin is I am enjoying the season BUT also realistic, that's a lot of minutes on any person's legs don't matter what type of shape you in. - Ya, Ya I hear about how Syracuse did this in such and such a year and how we have done this before BUT to that I say those are rare exceptions - - not the rule. - -Your gonna have a tendency to wear down don't care who you are like kjayhawks said can't really see why he couldn't have pulled Frank and or Devonte late when we are up double digits late. - - But hey I for one AM NOT going to Challenge Coach Self - -that's why he is the Coach and I'm the ol wrinkled up guy sitting in the easy chair making decisions and never lost a game lol. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 lol, well maybe I'll start a new trend lol - - - - just kidding of course - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 I might be the pope tomorrow too lmao - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 YA me too, I'm with Hawk Champ on this. -I think Baylor is gonna take it to them, I think this is where KSU realizes they are NOT there yet. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 I do enjoy - - Doesn't mean I don't have legitimate reason for concern plain and simple. It would down right ridicilious to try and turn the head and say relax - -come on let us be real. You know I know everyone who knows you have players averaging 37-38 minutes a game for the season you DO wear down - -seen it happen in the past and not saying it WON'T happen again. - -relax? - -enjoy? No body has said anything about this not being a good team, no where did you see that in my opening statement did you? I think your living a very false dream if you think ANYONE is gonna BREEZE through conference, come on now, your better then that - -was that surpose to be funny? I certainly hope you were joking on that ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 umm,I JUST DON'T see that happening. Even though the game is at their little cow palace, Baylor gonna be a match up nightmare for them - -way to much length Motley and their other big boy I think will give K - Straight fits. - -but hey it was fun to be ranked for a week right? - -even though it was a tie for 25th. - - I am still not impressed. - -I feel pretty confident in the re-match with us- -it's not going to be as close for them, I think you will see an entirely different team in KU that night - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@kjayhawks YA only thing is - -won't be for long. - - K-State has Texas Tech at Tech - -and then Baylor at home. - -I can very easily see them losing both of these games. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Guys, the only thing that is concerning me about our season right now is - - -this short bench. I'm just really afraid towards the end of the year we are going to have some really tired legs - - -Frank & Devontte averaging right at 37 minutes per game in Big 12 play, and for the overall season Frank is at 35 minutes per and Devonte is at 34.0 per game, you run that over the course of a season, thats ALOT of minutes. Now the others not that bad: SVI is like 29.5 in Big 12 - - Vick is at 29.0 - -Lucas is at 29.0 - -Jackson is at 22.0 in big 12 but that's because of foul issues with him - -It's Devonte & Frank that concerns me, you figure we are at MAYBE the half way point of the season - -ALOT of minutes - -question is, is there an answer to get them a little rest?
Remember how we were worried about the free throw situation? - -how they were going to hurt us? - -Well while we are at 62.6 % overall for the season UP from that 59.4% - -BUT in Big 12 play since we started we are at 76.9 % in leauge play I think we are getting that turned around. - - Alot of that has to do with the right people shooting free throws. Frank is 21-24 in Big 12, the thing is no one else has attempted double digit attempts at the line in Big 12 - - -Devonte only 6 attempts - -equates out to 2 a game, that needs to be higher, Josh kind of surprises me only 9 attempts in 3 games - -equates to 3 per game, I would think his would be higher
Any ways we got Oklahoma and then Oklahoma State this weeek hoping we go 2-0 - - as they say GETTER DONE -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BShark The way I'm looking at SVI is, in the latest mock projected draft has him goin in the 1st round and like 27th pick. I just don't really see his stock improving a whole lot more then that, not raising a lot higher. Which makes me feel that much stronger he will be gone. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Still, my question is - - - - -WHY? - - -Just don't see it. It seems like to just have a body to me- -sorry I'm not interested. I feel Trae is coming, take this scholi and offer a Big. - -If indeed Trae comes we are good to go at the Guard spot. - -I feel Devonte is coming back, -- Newman , Vick, Garrett, - -no need for this kid, it's a real chone scratcher. - -I mean JUMPIN - -GEE -- HOSSA - -FATS. - -What's the point? - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Crimsonorblue22 can you give a lil more info. I think we are going to have Devonte, Newman, Garrett , Vick chances looking better for Trae we really need more? -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well now make it the last 4 CB picks for KU for Trae to end up landing here. Picked up another today -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG-BABY
Just checked out the latest projections, KU has TWO players projected by the TWO sites. : a little surprising doesn't mean squat obviously, but Josh has slipped just a little. - -# 4 pick In one think it's N.B.A. Draft Express going to Dallas - -and # 5 in Draft Net
The Surprise to me any ways SVI has moved up from the 1st pick of the 2nd round to the # 27 pick in the FIRST round going to Houston. Whatcha think? - - No mention of Devonte -- Bragg - -or anyone else - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
