@BeddieKU23 solid post! I think it’s also important to not Harris has done a great job taking care of the ball while distributing and playmaking. I think I saw his assist to turnover ratio is tops in the big 12. Or at least was?

Self also noted that Bobby is just being out in a horrible spot. I thought that was an interesting sentiment from him. He clearly loves the dude and he must not be fully recovered for self to say something like that.

With Mitch I think it’s odd that he’s often regarded as a decent post defender by commentators and common observers because he’s rarely out of position but when he’s in according to some numbers, I think Newell reported, our team defense is NOT good at all. Love the kid (excuse me man) but I am finally on the play Dave 25 minutes and split the rest between Adam’s, 5 guards, and use Mitch sparingly less than 10 a game unless foul trouble.

Also love what another poster said about having 6 starters. It IS a problem, but a good problem to have.

Really hoping yesefu builds on and is given the opportunity to build on that wvu game. He’s a game changer with his speed and showed some nice work both defensively and pushing the pace of the game with his foot speed and his vision looking ahead after turnovers and long rebounds.

This team needs to play fast. If they can escape the grind in any game they are likely to blow it open.

Still interested to see if self has any more wrinkles up his sleeve for some of the big games. We’ve seen mostly standard offensive sets and only a handful of pizazz from the coaching box I feel like. Is the team not ready to execute, are practices more focused on the defense, or is some stuff being saved for when he thinks he will need it?

At this point Juan has a 3.9 to 1.4 assist to turnover ratio has 62 assists to 23 turnovers and has 23 steals to go along with it.- -- - - Christan is our next best. Christan has a 3.3 to 1.3 assist to turnover ratio- - has 52 assists to 34 turnovers and has 21 steals to go along -these are our top two guys

Just an absolute war every time out. Just ask Teas Tech today against K/State - -Ask Baylor losing gsme on home turf to Okie State. No matter who you are you best bring your A game night in - - night out. thee are no gimme's in this league

A big part of Texas Tech's issue today was that this was their 5th game in 10 days. Watching a little bit of that game today and it was obvious Tech had dead legs.

ya could very well be true

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Non-KU Games:

KU is now a 1/2 game up on TCU for 1st place in the Big 12 and Baylor is the first ever AP #1 to lose two home games in a week.

@Marco said in Bill DROPS The F BOMB:

@jayballer67 do you really think that he can honestly and publicly say what is actually going on? It is spin, man.

Hell yes he can - -not difficult especially to silence certain people who really don't know, you what what I mean ? -people that really don't know just off BS they take and run with it. Again I'll take the word of the person that IS around the situation daily he calls it BS - - it's BS

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Post WV game thoughts:

@Marco said in Post WV game thoughts:

@Jethro yes, I'm serious. Why do we need Remy?

Remy makes everyone else better on offense, especially Christian Braun. Since Remy got hurt, Braun is only averaging 11.5 ppg, shooting 38.6% from the field, and 28.5% from 3 over tge last 4 games. KU isn't going to win anything of significance if Braun looks like he did last season on offense which he has since Remy was injured.

Even when Remy isn't scoring, everyone knows what he's capable of so you can't leave him alone to help double others because Remy can go off in a hurry. Remy forces many more 1 on 1 match ups and creates a lot more open perimeter shots because of his driving ability forcing defenses to collapse on him and leaving shooters open in the perimeter.

If KU has any hopes of reaching New Orleans this year, they have to have a healthy Remy back. And considering Self's post game conference today, I don't think Remy is going anywhere.

your right Remy - - isn't going anywhere

Oklahoma State still up 11 over Baylor with like 8 :30 to go in the game at Baylor

@Marco said in Non-KU Games:

@jayballer67 I disagree. If we started Remy, we'd get beat by Kentucky

Good for you

@Kcmatt7 said in Bill DROPS The F BOMB:

I would very much like a motivated and healthy Remy back. Hope it happens

looking forward to having a healthy Remy be able to come back and play. - -I think I'll take Bills version over some others. Seeing as how he is the one that's with Remy daily and REALLY knows what's up

@Marco said in Non-KU Games:

@jayballer67 it's not going to happen.

And were more likely then not going to repeat today and we WILL get beat by Kentucky

We can beat Kentucky if...? Fill in the blank.

                        we play like we did today. - - Have to have contribute inside and repeat Jalen

And Remy play, right?

for sure - - - Right

                        we play like we did today. - - Have to have contribute inside and repeat Jalen

TCU goes to 12- - -2 beats Oklahoma 59-58 in OT

@Jethro said in Bill DROPS The F BOMB:

LOL. I think Bill is taking exception to the wild Remy rumors . In his postgame interview, he let the fur fly. He basically said he knows more than we do about Remy's injury, and he dismissed the "Remy is leaving" meme as "Fing sh**". LMAO. I think we can safely put to bed the "Remy is leaving" talk.

ya I heard that. Coach saying people asking him about why on certain days about Remy feeling better and return and then the next about why not so much - Bil was pretty blunt on his answeer. -Think I'll listen a little more about what our HOF Coachs says then some random scuttlebutt . A healthy Remy adds A LOT to this team

@wissox said in Non-KU Games:

Baylor missed twenty straight shots? That sounds familiar.

hmm ya where have I seen and or heard that before

Oh no doubt we need Remy, that's not even question. So quick legit scoring threat, the one big reason , well actually two reasons we haven't seen the true Remy is him being hurt and then trying to adjust to new system. Actualy could use Remy stepping up more become more of a threat instead of passing up the shots- w all know he can, but just trying to hard to fit what Bil wants currently

Baylor is shooting 18 % in the 1st half -- Down 28-11 to Okie State

Boy long way to go BUT Oklahoma St up 27 - - 11 with like 6 :20 to go in the 1st half. - -last I seen Baylor 4-20 from the field

Iowa State beat Texas 79-70 today

@BShark said in Non-KU Games:

Hard disagree.

me too BShark would need another preformance like today plus

@Crimsonorblue22 said in WVU Game Thread:

@jayballer67 but cb contributed!

oh ya

@BShark said in WVU Game Thread:

That's a 52 piece half against a top 20 defense.

that's a nice piece of work - - Joe played I feel well backing Juan today

@FarmerJayhawk said in WVU Game Thread:

Guys we might be good at this shooty hoops thing

This game just goes to show what we CAN DO. what were capable of when we click - and thats WITHOUT Christian

Huge games for Dave and Jalen - - we get Jalen rollin and Dave consistency - - WHOLE DIFFERENT TEAM

FEED THE BIG FELLA - - -FEED THE BIG FELLA

Breath of fresh air to se Dave and Jalen ballin today. Now the key word is - -Consistency

@BShark said in WVU Game Thread:

where these guys been. - -Dave 15 & 10

Now we cooking - -Anybody got an extra cold one

KU 16 - - 2 run - -West Virginia shooting 20 %

Dave doing much better today

@BShark said in WVU Game Thread:

I like the looks we have taken from 3 this game. Mostly pretty open.

Also, even though a couple of shots were questionable, Och is at least hunting.

Braun is hunting to only problem is he forgot his gun lol

David is doing better today - - not super great but I'll take it. - -9 points and 5 rebounds to this point

Is this league really this good ? - just a fricken dog fight every time out - -just ask Texas Tech - -playing against an 8-7 team 0-4 in league - ask Tech how that went today
