This is where this teams needs an alpha dog. Someone to fall in line around. Who is it going to be?

my thoughts exactly. - -who is our guy that will take charge ? - where is a leader on this team , do we have one?

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:44 PM

1st half was 5 TT players vs 2 KU players. Braun is horrible today. Defensive interior sucks. 🤯

not only interior - -the ENTIRE DEFENSE - - Wait - - what defense ?

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:37 PM

Well we are in Big 12 play now - -no more sissy teams - -we got teams that actually play some defense - and where has Braun gone ? - - -DeJuan getting his lunch fed to him - -hell our whole defense if you wanna call it that is getting taken to school. - - - ONCE AGAIN getting beat one on one drives just being flat made looking stupid. No wonder we are last in the Big 12 in defense

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:33 PM

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:33 PM

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:32 PM

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:14 PM

Coach said he pre-game he told the kids love to take Charges , he said what else can we do. All we can do is tell them

Those charges are shit calls.

That guy was set , set , set, what the fricken hell are you doing leaving your feet on a drive Remy holy shit

He was set when he took the charge, but not before Remy jumped. You have to be set before the player jumps otherwise it's not supposed to be a charge. That's a call Tech is going to get everytime at home though

question where was Remy going by jumping in the air

@kuballin10 said in Red Raiders:

Wish we had Pettiford but let’s be honest he wouldn’t play more than 10 mpg versus weak handles Harris

Let Clemence and JCL and Joe get some run Bill neither team can score

Oh forgot Joe has no confidence wonder why that is guys

this pace right now is to fast for JCL he would be a turnover a minutes loose ball handling

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:00 PM

@Kcmatt7 True on Grimes. It does go both ways. Brannen's dad is the only reason we saw Greene at KU for 3 years.

Meeerrrrrcy

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 08:03 PM

@BShark said in Red Raiders:

I will say it is interesting that KU is only favored by 4 and a half while Tech is without their two best players. Anyone got Kenpom premium to see what the line is there? Like these things have to be factoring this in right?

I think they are getting Shannon back today aren't they ?

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 07:33 PM

K/State hung 40 on West Virginia in the 1st half. - - K State 40 - - - - -West Virginia 27 at West Virginia

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 07:21 PM

Brucie still not coaching K/State today no wonder they winning lol

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 07:20 PM

Texas 9 points in the 1st 11 minutes of the game

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 07:06 PM

Don't know about you guys but this just knocks me on my butt. - K/State just killing West Virginia at West Virginia right now with 10:00 left in the 1st half- -K/State 27 - - -West Virginia 12

BIG /Big 12 conversation • Jan 08, 2022 07:00 PM

Just been thinking some & watching over the football & now Basketball Season. I know a lot of talk down the line about KU moving to and joining the BiG & the thing is - - Maybe it will happen - - Maybe it won't. I'm not really sure one way or another. I just don't know if we bring enough to the table to be accepted or not.

Yet I've been pondering and the more I think about it - - IF again IF we don't get the invite - - it's not the end of the world . We have some quality teams coming in Yes for sure were losing ONE really quality team in football to the SEC -Oklahoma , I think Texas is in for a rude wake up in the SEC , they could very easily find them selves as a middle of the pack in football. Where as the teams we are taking in represent them selves well - -ya maybe not Oklahoma quality - Texas Quality Yete Houston making the play offs this year - -Cincinnati good club - -and BYU solid - I think they will show just fine in the Big 12

Basketball wise I think we gain with again Cincinnati & Houston , Houston currently ranked 12th & BYU is a pretty solid club not sure if they are ranked or not but very solid. - I think we get the edge in the Basketball side of this for sure. Bottom line IF we don't gt the invite , I think the Big 12 can survive and I think YES we will add even more teams returning to full Big 12 maybe more. The more I look at this I think maybe not quite sa bad as one would think

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 02:27 AM

I know a lot of people don't even pay any attention to this and I understand even myself doesn't give it a lot of thought , however still kind of interesting.

In the latest ESPN Bracketology they had a short little snippit and it was talking about a rising KU team bypassing and moving over Gonzaga & Duke in the chase for the overall # 1 seed in the upcoming tourney. They talked about how it was kind of surprising but with teams not playing because of Covid and then the competition and gave example of Duke playing in the ACC this year, as reasons for KU'S rising.

They talk about with that and now KU being the # 2 overall seed behind Baylor with that being said it would be a good reason to circle the Home & Home dates between KU & Baylor - -interesting to follow

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 02:22 AM

Boy here is some crazy , twisted thinking for you. - - Kentucky playing Vanderbilt Tuesday at Vanderbilt ok and ? - - -Weel here you go , tell me the logic to this. Vanderbilt Students are not being allowed to attend the game BUT the General public is allowed

Okay explain the logic to that lol - - - makes sense to me

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 08:12 PM

Think the perfect Response to K/straight little playing of sandstorm for us during their bowl game , the perfect response would be to RUN IT BACK on them as we are preceding to giving them their annual ass kickin at the phog. - -Fire that puppy up - pipe it in - -turn it to the max and lt it fly & let em know this is for you lol - - love it

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Crootin:

@jayballer67 I’m not over the moon about burning a counter on a RB unless there’s another departure. Or if Locklin can’t go in the fall. Kotelnicki loves using multiple backs so I think Thomas would get a lot of run. Morrison might be the third down back/special teams type.

If he’s going to KSU he’d better hustle. They start classes the 18th.

wll I just heard off the local sports radio broadcast here in Topeka talking to K state beat writer - -Fitz Gerald they hadn't offered yet but felt they were really interested , I think w get him on Campus I know he is interested. jst me but I'd like to have him for some depth.- -- But not sure about how he feels Think he wants a lot of touchs

Farmer , what ya think. I read some posts from TOS and individual had said yes Ty was visiting next weekend I believe with other key recruits for the WV basketball game ?

What you think farmer ? - I wouldn't mind him being here, something about wanting to be in School for spring. Kstate people seem to think if they offer he is theirs for the taking.

Just curious with us having Devin , then getting Morrison howyou think he fits or would he. Appreciate you input guy

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 03:21 AM

Well guys guess we aren't the only ones. Iowa State went 9 minutes and like 38 seconds with no buckets to start the 2nd half. - they got to free throws but did not make a bucket for over 9 minutes.

The Score ? - you ready for this ? - -Iowa State - - 343 - - Texas Tech 26 with9 minutes and 20 seconds to go in the game

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 02:37 AM

Well must be contagious , we aren't the only teams struggling to score. - - Iowa St 30 - - -Texas Tech 19 at the half - - WOWSHA . - -not even a point a minute. But also they missing their leading scorer Shannon and Mcoller not playing

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 02:22 AM

Tech only got 7 players cause of Covid

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 02:20 AM

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 02:19 AM

Has anyone heard any more updates about Gethro. - so sad to here hope he gets full recovery

Checking our League stats • Jan 06, 2022 01:36 AM

well looking and begin thinking maybe a little hard on the boys. Of course every fans dream is that perfect team , that perfect ball all of us can be very critical at times - -to critical. We stack up pretty well against the other teams in our league except for a couple of area's ; - -On the minus side we are 7th in rebounding, which may be the reason some of these teams have played us some closer then should of we avg 36.7 rpg - we need improvement stop those 2nd chance points. - - we are 8th in the league in steals at 7.7 per game - that surprised me some & then 6th in free throw %- - only shooting 69.6 got to get better can costs us some close games in important times - like in the NCAA tourney.

BUT on the plus side : - -we are 1st in scoring the ball at 84.3 per game - - - -2nd in assists at - - 17 per game - -3rd best in not turning the ball over only 11.9 per game - -- -1st in field goal % at 50.7 per game - - and 1st in 3 pt % at 37.2

So I have got to stay inside myself and try not to be so dam hard on the guys - -clean up a couple of things and we in great shape

Non-KU Games • Jan 06, 2022 01:00 AM

ESPN all over themselves trying to pump up the SEC. - -IF it's not the ACC it's the BIG - or the SEC anyone and everyone but the Big 12.

They ranting about the SEC having 5 teams in the top 21 - well news flash we have 5 teams in the top 225 - - Sooooo whz up ? - -Baylor # 1 -- -KU # 6 - - Iowa st # 11 - - Texas # 16 - - & Texas TEch # 25 right ? - -so think thats a draw

@Jethro said in Rat Nibbles...:

Well, the Rat is back trying to gnaw on opponent's legs again. I guess he takes the title of US Coach from the Olympics to mean he is the only coach in America, which allows him to impart his rat wisdom onto the players his team faces. Here Mr. Thin Skin takes exception to a Georgia Tech player that threw him some shade:
https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/coach-ks-farewell-tour-mike-krzyzewski-exchanges-words-with-georgia-tech-star-in-blue-devils-victory/ ↗

ya I saw that 1st thing this morning. - I dunno , I saw the video and actually as much as I hate to say I think actually it was Devo that actually started the whole thing by when K had called a time out Devoe started talking smack. - - Then of course Rat being Rat walked onto the floor saying you don't know who I am - - Devoe's Coach said he would have a private talk with Devoe , Devoe said he just got caught up trying to be competitive

@mayjay said in Bill Self "growth stunter":

Lunardi has us back to a #1 seed again.

ya seen that today and I like the region and the teams thats in our bracket - -if it only turned out to be the case - - out of forth worth Texas

Bill Self "growth stunter" • Jan 05, 2022 09:47 PM

I guess it just depends on what particular site you look at , will give you various opinions about where your team is as far as strength of schedule goes. - you look at 10 different sites - -you more likely then not your going to get 10 different answers. I've voiced my opinion whether you agree , disagree , it's all good we are all entitled to our own opinion or whatever. My thoughts are at THIS POINT could change tomorrow the next day whatever , but my question at THIS POINT in the Season , if you were an opponent of KU - - - would KU put the fear of GOD into you ? - -Let me ask do you think is under rated should we be higher in the pols? - you feel we are not getting respect ? - -if you do whats you reasoning for that?

I look at the way our Season has gone how we have played - defensively - - - -free throw pct's - - - rebounding - -who do you think we should be above in the teams currently above us right now ? I watch this team and just at this point again it can change but right now - this is not a NCAA Champion team - -were a good team , a really good team but not an NCAA Champion team . You just don't see that flow.

Take Remy Martin , good player but he tries to make better plays/passes then what the simple pass would get the deuce and because of some of those passes they turn into turnovers , you take Jalen - good rebounder but defensively huge liability you watch - -focus on Jalen and his man sometime , he is getting beat consistently and his shooting pct is miserable , David ? - and I'm a Dave supporter BUT until this last game not even close to what he should be getting - he is at what like 5.8 rebounds somewhere like that, should be closer to at least 8 - that's just the tip of things.

You watch KU and then you watch Baylor teams like that just things different. - just like when Baylor was playing Iowa State at Hilton, Baylor ALWAYS had an answer, Iowa State make a run & Baylor always answered the challenge - -Their guard is an absolute stud - -good height - -very athletic. Am I saying KU can't/wont beat them ? - -hell no I'm not just saying at this point Baylor is the better team , and like some others said right at this point an agrument for Iowa State could be made for giving KU fits looking to see how it works when WE go to Hilton.

Like I said might have guys here think I'm a KU basher/hater. Think what you want is what I would say , you can do that , I'm just stating what I see. - -if you go on on of these streaks go 0-20 and a 9:112 drought in the tourney - -you will be blown out. Game over - - Season over - - Done.

like I said in the beginning if your wanting to compare things just depends on what site you look at. I just looked at Strength of Schedule from the NCAA College Basketball and where the 5 other teams sit on their strength of schedule -they were this - -Baylor ( 15th ) - - -Duke ( 11th ) - -UCLA ( 9th ) - - - Gonzaga ( 3rd ) - - Purdue ( 20th ) - - - & KU ( 26th ) - -just sayin - just some thoughts your up to yours - -I ain't mad at ya again you agree or not agree thats fine hope this doesn't turn into war of words everyone is entitled to what they think & at this point I think w are ranked right about where we should be. Maybe even anotch or two high, BUT CERTAINLY not above any of these teams ranked above us
