Sciambi is right. A lot of complaints about the refs, but there is a season long pattern. We don't get to the line nearly as much as we should...
Refs have been sketch tonight but this is not an aggressive KU team.
TWO FREE THROWS attempted by KU tonight - - TWO - - Oklahoma TWELVE
It's now crunch time
Thank GOD at least OU not scorching the nes
@DCHawker said in BOOMER Game Thread:
7 KU players have scored - Ochai not one of them...
And hard as it is to believe Mitch has got a little hustle grabbed a rebound and scored if he didn't do that during this stretch we would be EEN WORSE YET
Och - - a big fat ZERO
Jesus these guys are putting on one shit show 19-2 run Oklahoma
now going down 5
doesn't mater if we started out well in the 2nd half or not - -were down 3 , this team has some bad tendencies sloppy ball handling and can't shoot worth a crap
@DCHawker said in BOOMER Game Thread:
Terrible pass by CB. No clue by anyone right now...
NO ONe has any idea what the hell their doing. - -Once again YMCA ball
Jesus when these guys play like this 1-10 fg 5 turnover and over 3 minutes scoring drought - -that's just sad/ugly
Can you believe this crap - - - 15-2 OU run
28 out of Oklahoma's 36 points - - you got it - in the paint
I'll take that start - -thank you very much lol

Dave was the least of our issues. Our leading scorer has ZERO points and has tape on his wrist
wrist is fine x rays negative- -yet he only attempted two shots - - -that's not gonna cut it
@Jethro said in BOOMER Game Thread:
@jayballer67 Bad Dave showed up 1st half. Let's hope Good Dave makes an appearance...
anybody seen him tonight ?
Well so much for any hope of any sign of a little consistency from Mc Cormack 2 points -ZERO rebounds. no excuse for that kind of effort period
well it is Och non shooting hand but still
och still in the locker room Gurley and whats his butt said
@RockChalkinTexas said in BOOMER Game Thread:

Och no points - - McCormack no points - - Braun 2 points - - geez
oh let's hope he didn't screw that wrist up

We only favored by 3.5. Does that sound about right ?
We were huge favorites against ISU (a game I expected to be close and was) and double digit favorites against WVU. I've given up on trying to figure out these lines recently.
I understand buddy - -& your right just when you have a handle on it - -it's crazy
@Zabudda said in BOOMER Game Thread:
@jayballer67
Well no. But ISU is an eight point dog at TTU.
that might not be that far off
We only favored by 3.5. Does that sound about right ?
You Watch Oklahoma will come out and just drain every 3 pt shot they throw up - -Grooves will play his butt off isn't that usually the case when we play. - -just goes to show we ARE the game for our opponents always play over their heads against our boys

Just out of pure curiousity guys - - wondering WHY Baylor & West Virginia is playing their game at 4 today on a week day Anyone know ?
Because the Duke show is on at 9 and Jay Bilas needs to be in his hotel to see it
Lol , I know your kidding but yet probably wouldn't stun me other then Bilas but ESPN cater to Puke all the time
Baylor taking out their frustrations on WV - -30-14 with like 7:48 to go in 1st half. - Baylor playing without Akinco

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Crootin:
@jayballer67 they won’t take a transfer QB unless someone bails after spring ball. JD is QB1 all the way
well as far as I'm concerned I'm glad Jalen working hard and improving. - Thanks for your thoughts farmer

Whaaaaa ?
Good Morning Farmer. - -I have a question and really appreciate you opinion , hearing what you think. I've been reading some posts off TOS & some talking about KU needing/wanting to bring in possibly ANOTHER QB through the transfer portal.
My question would we REALLY want to do something like that and possibly destroy what confidence JD has achieved last season for a ONE year rental ? I myself not really sure we should bring in another for a year. Give JD another year of Spring ball a full year in the system with this staff and the way he come on , would we really want to risk what JD has gained? - -So what you think ?
@BeddieKU23 said in Post WV game thoughts:
Good point about Harris as I did not know he was near the top in that statistic but it makes sense because for the most part he has been a really steady hand.
I have my criticism of him as an offensive player and I think when he's a non scoring threat for 30 minutes in a game it does have a bit of snowball effect if the team around him isn't producing as we have seen in some games. He usually has one of his better games scoring when KU is up big so it's something I think has the ability to handcuff this team down the road. However I have seen improvement and development from him and the kid just goes out there and plays and has the same face on 98% of the time. Nothing seems to phase him.
Bobby certainly looks like the mental aspect of the injury may be impacting him. It sounds like he really didn't have a lot of practice time before being put into the fire again so it makes sense he might be behind again. You could tell with full court pressure that he struggled with that he just needs some time to get back to playing.
Teams go on runs with Mitch in and having rewatched some recent games Mitch gets caught switching on the perimeter and its not pretty. Perhaps the recent uptick in minutes for KJ at the 5 is in regards to some struggles Mitch has had in situations the staff is also seeing
Agree about this team playing fast and pushing pace. They have done a much better job this year doing that. The big-12 just has teams with styles of play that do not typically lead to up and down games. Everyone seems to want to limit possessions and slug it out which from a coaching perspective probably makes sense but from a fan POV it's not as fun when KU has a team that is best when it's able to push in transition and get the pace of play to their liking. The counter to that is KU has to force their style on opponents rather then letting teams dictate how the game gets played. So far its been a mixed bag in conf play.
I also agree about the offense. Seems like injuries have prevented this team from practicing the way Self may want them too. I want to see this team focus more on attacking downhill as I think sometimes we just tend to pass it around the perimeter looking for the angles and the defensive rotations. I think our guards can do a better job getting a foot in the lane and reading how the defense responds. We tend to get easier baskets or get open perimeter shots when we get our guards in the paint area. We have seen a lot more wing post ups this season whether it's och or someone. Recently Self has started running Dave in more pick and roll sets instead of iso block stuff and that's something I believe can have a positive impact. I wouldn't be surprised if Self is saving some stuff for Baylor etc so there's some element of surprise in the film teams get.
I agree with you for sure on tempo and this being a league that it seems teams want limited possessions slow or slower pace and that hurts Ku to a point. KU needs to get out and run cause when they do - - it's lights out. to back this reasoning up on pace did you know that we have 6 teams that average 72 points or less in a game ? SIX Led by K/State at 68.3 --& followed up by WV at 69.0 However I don't think it's the case as much for Huggy that he wants that as they like I think to run to but they can't shoot worth a dam . Their shooting % Again is only ahead of K/State they shoot 42.9% fg and 31.4 3pt - - they can't shoot. - - K/State on the other hand seems like they are always a sloth on offense and they shoot 42.8. ---. - -The only three that really push tempo is KU - - Baylor - - And Okie State Okie State 3rd in scoring at 76.6
Dave and I'm as big as Dave fan as anybody but been really frustrating this year. We have seen now two glimpses of what Dave IS capable of. When he is like last time out , he is one of the better big's in the Big 12. I mean you can't ask for much more then 19 / & 15 - just getting him to do it is the thing. He has this thin a lot of times seems to me anyways he will get good position and gets the ball and it's almost like he is over thinking to mechanical like ok what's next. Like you say he is much , much better of pick and roll - but I agree pretty much with what you say spot on
@AsadZ said in Dam Ladies- -- -that hurts:
Yeah, came so close.
ya they did. I will ssay this though , it looks like they are finally getting there in being able to compete in Conference. -- Yes they were losses BUT they hung with Oklahoma for the majority of their game kinda got away in the final minutes - - This Baylor game they were in the lead quite a bit and then Baylor hit them with a hay maker but the Ladies just kept fighting back. Proud of them anyways, Like the announcers said you can see how KU has improved because before this the last couple of times they played Baylor we got beat by like 23 points and 26 points. - So you figure all three of our losses this year have been against ranked opponents. - - -Oklahoma , Baylor , and Tennessee and they gave Tennessee a battle too. - -still got work to do but at least they fight now
Were sitting pretty good in most area's . - -We are 1st in three different cat : !st in Scoring , Field Goal %- - & 3pt fg % - - -- - - -we are 2nd in assists pr - -and 3rd best in taking care of the ball.
The only thing we are really not good at is taking the ball/steals - - we are 9th out of 10 - - needs to improve
My Nephew came by yesterday , and said he knows KY and Ky had told him earlier that he was coming. I says why the hell didn't you say something to ol UNC - -

I think the Remy chatter is 100% nonsense! Let's let this kid do his thing... get healthy... come back... and kick some ass! He has such a great energy... so needed by this team. Hard to say exactly how he will fit in, especially if he is out for long... but he will find a way to contribute and it will be well needed!
I'll say this AGAIN Remy isn't going anywhee, hearing and reading more and more to the exact opposite - -Remy is staying
