Can't get over the difference of Christan from last year to this year. Just like day & night
Seemed like up to half way through the 1st half we were getting anything we wanted. I think at that point we were 11-14 from the field
@wissox said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:
We're shooting 57%. How is it that we're not blowing out this team?
we had 10 turnovers ourselves Nevada had 16 turnover, like Coach said the ball stuck. with 16 Nevada turnovers we should have more then 39 points
@BShark two 7 footers in the line up. Decent from the field 45 % from the 2 - - - 35 % from the 3 - hits the boards pretty well 38.1 - -gonna be interesting

These two games will be important to shake the rust and get prepared for conference play
Don't be shocked if the OSU game gets postponed as well since OSU is currently dealing with a Covid outbreak. KU won't be able to schedule another non-confernce game at that point.
i really do believe there is a better then 50/50 chance that the OSU game will be postponed , just don't think they will be cleared

KU women's game was canceled not too long ago because of Covid issues within the KU women's program.
ya I went to ESPN plus and couldn't find. - went to NCAA womens Basketball and showed it was Cancelled, was just wondering before I saw your post because of who.
Well so Covid has invaded the KU Basketball - -hope this doesn't get transmitted to the men - better lock it up tight as a drum
The woman don't live in McCarthy so it shouldn't be an issue in regards to the men being exposed.
Ahh that's right I forgot. Still need to be careful which I'm sure the men's Coaching staff all over that - to close for comfort. - -I forgot about them not being in the same dorms though, was just thinking Athletic dorms. - Appreciate it buddy

Sorry to hear John Madden passed. He was 85 yrs old pretty good Coach of the Hated Raiders did pretty good in the booth - -I liked the guy - -had some humor will be missed RIP sir
Don't get surprised and have your socks knocked off IF our January 4th game with Oklahoma State isn't postponed also. - -Okie State had to Postpone Texas Tech for Saturday , Man I sure hope I'm wrong with that - that would make 4 games in a row that would effect KU to a certain extent -- - this could get really crazy -- -AGAIN. be safe EVERYONE

KC had just better worry about next game up and the other will take care of it'self. -I think this game with Cincinnati & Burroughs could be a pretty good game. KC look past these guys on the road with Burroughs and the gang could come back and bite them right square in the ass
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Harvard Game Cancelled:
Houston had to forfeit against Cincinnati, AAC apparently didn't update their Covid protocols, so Cincinnati could be another option for a quality opponent as well for Wednesday.
Whew that would be a sweet contest. OR what about even Houston - or was it Houston that caused the Cancellation ? - -Cinn would be a really good game.
I'll be dang if it isn't starting to fall in place like I was afraid of. - -KU has now missed two games in a row because of the Covid , Vanderbilt & Stanfords game a Championship in a tourney was Canceled , Big East Cancelling games , SEC revising on how they are handling COVID games - - the ACC - - Duke just Cancelled their next two games because they are having COVID issues..
Other schools in the same boat. - - I'm just afraid we are starting to see a repeat of last year. True things have changed , I mean we have the shots now but still going to play havoc- -already is , Were going to find ourselves in a bunch of make up games -- -we have league starting - -theyre just not going to blow those games off - -gonna have to be played sometime. They have said with this latest strain the Omicron - not nearly as dangerous maybe hospitalization wise Death wise - -this strain ALOT mor Contagious ALOT easier spread - just worried as you can see things growing - -keeping fingers crossed

No I'm playing for the bulls.
Lol ahh that's right. I remember that now. Man seen you dunk on that Dudes face mercy hell of a play lol
@wissox said in Jayhawks in the pros:
Svi got some PT tonight and took advantage scoring 10. But his team got destroyed by the Cavs who scored 83 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters alone. Another amazing stat was Cleveland taking 52 3 pointers, making 22. Goodness how this game has changed. Garrett got one point for the Heat. Covid is giving our guys some PT. Joel Punished the Wiz with 36 and 13. DG had a nice game but lost with 15 points and 8 gifts. Cheick almost had a double double with 9 and 9, but JJ didn't appear in the box score, I guess he's in the protocols. SA blew (out) a Piston. DD can't find PT in Chicago even with guys out. Marcus Morris is coming back after sitting out for Covid. I've got 3 more days and I'll be able to begin to play again.
So glad your about to come off the Covid lol. - -What position they got you playing now? - Your such a versatile guy lol. - Who you playing for aGain wasn't it the Wizards ?

Just wanted to send out a Get Well Soon to all of you who have to deal with the virus and other issues. I've been lucky so far, but know that these days even the most cautious of us can have something hit unexpectedly.
As we prepare here for a rare Christmas snowfall tonight I decided to stay home today, but I've been able to enjoy the holiday with the help of my family and friends, online and off.
Sending out a great big Northwest "thanks" to all of you. Merry Christmas, and a better New Year !
Merry Christmas my friend

@jayballer67 he's completely tearing it up at Wake Forest.
is he wanting to transfer out or what ?
@approxinfinity said in Just throwing this out for the Holiday:
@jayballer67 I can say that I feel you, going through issues myself that are causing me to be unable to sleep every night. have gotten about 5 hours of bad sleep a night for the last month. Sucks. I hope you find a way to get it straight and get some sleep. The sleep deprivation will wreck you just as bad as the original issues.
We both just need to take care of ourselves buddy
@approxinfinity said in Just throwing this out for the Holiday:
@jayballer67 you too! Merry Christmas!
So sorry to hear all the guys catching the Covid here over the Holidays. Wishing you all speedy Recoveries , for sure.
I guess a lot of us are fighting something. I'm looking at a FOURTH back surgery soon probably. My back is so messed up they did an MRI on me and found two more bulging discs and I know from previous times I have a Pinched cyatic nerve. - -
It has varied at times , like last night my hip was throbbing from being pinched so bad woke me up at like 2:30 in the morning just throbbing, can't lay on my left side because that's where most of my problems this time. Just can't lay on my back and even if I lay on my right side it throbs so bad - -just can't sleep. - This time it has varied goes from sore & stiff in the middle of my lower back right in the center , some times it goes around my right side down to about my knee cap - -at times it goes around both sides and down my legs to my knee caps feels like my legs are on fire - - sometimes all the way down to my feet and tingly and warm - -other times just feels like someone is taking a knife and stabbing me in the butt cheek. At times it goes around and down into both sides of my groin -there are times it will stop me dead in my tracks - -can't even take a step it comes close to dropping me to the floor - it's not nice I'm telling ya that for sure
You ought to see me try and sit on the Couch a lot of times can't hardly get down - really struggle just fierce pain through my leg and butt cheek. .They have said IF the Dr won't do the 4th surgery on my back my first three were like on my L-4 - -L-5 - -these are on my L-1 -- and L-2. But if he just doesn't want to do a 4th surgery - - then I'll have to go back to the other doctor and they said they would have to put a spinal stimulator in my spine. -- Basically they said what that does the stimulator just blocks the pain going from my spine to my brain - - guess we shall see - -got to do something

@Texas-Hawk-10 just don’t think he resshirts then transfers. Can’t imagine Self doing that either
Cam is redshirting this year so he can finish his career elsewhere. Who would Cam play over next season? He already lost out to Jalen Wilson, Zach Clemence, and KJ Adams and Self has a couple of bigs coming in 2022 that are higher ranked and regarded than Clemence and Adams were. Cam is also currently sitting at 13th or 14th on the depth chart which is why he's redshirting this season and if KU only has 12 scholarships available next season, very real possibility by the way, Cam is the odd man out in that situation as well.
And if you think Self won't force a transfer if needed, then you're either very naive or just don't pay much attention because Self has run many players off who weren't good enough to play at KU.
My question to that is - - If Cam isn't good enough to play at KU - - then why did he offer or accept Cam in the 1st place. Why did he waste a Scoli on Cam LAT YR if he didn't think he was good enough. Just curious guess there is alot of Naive people out here
How many other times has Self brought in someone hoping they'd be able to contribute, but didn't end up living up to expectations? Charlie Moore being the main example in regards to a transfer. Cam's lack of athleticism was not an unknown issue, but Self was likely hoping that Cam's skill level was high enough to overcome his lack of athleticism since Cam is a big man that can make outside shots. Self was basically hoping Cam could be a poor man's Dedric Lawson. It likely became pretty clear early on that wasn't going to be the case with Cam so he takes the redshirt this year to preserve his eligibility and we'll likely see him at a low major school next season like an Ohio Valley school where he originally played his freshman season.
It's a situation where it didn't work out as hoped, both sides are being mature about it and Self will help Cam find a good landing spot for next season so he can finish his career somewhere other than the bench.
We've also seen this situation plenty where Self signs a freshman, they don't develop as much as expected, and Self helps them find a lower level school where they can thrive at. Cam Martin isn't the first time a situation like this has happened with Self and it won't be the last time either. Kyle Cuffe will be another to watch as well as he works on his recovery and basically not playing basketball for 2 years if he's able to get to a level where he can play meaningful minutes at KU.

Just a pinch early guys - -BUT just wishing a very Merry Christmas to all my KU Comrads - I know not everyone can celebrate the Holiday like they want , being able to connect with family - - I'm sorry I know has to stink , BUT just be safe and take care of yourself and get to feeling better our Jayhawks need each and everyone of you.
Get yourself healthy and get back in the game big days ahead. - Soooo MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY and we will see you on the other side. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Never a good time to get it, but it really sucks having to isolate during the holidays. Bigtime bummer.

Pfizer has become the 1st Company to gain Authorization for Covid Pills that individuals can take in home treatment. -The drug/pill is called Paxlovid has been Authorized by the Health regulators
Saying the Pill is nearly 90 % effective in reduction in Hospitalizations and Death among Patients that get severe disease.. - Article says the pills will be extremely limited with the 1st doses but will become available, also Company I guess called Merck is also expected to soon win Authorization for the pill although Pfizer is expected to be much more widely used.
The Big 12 announced a team to receive a no contest when : If a team with fewer then 6 scholorship players and one countable Coach for a game will receive a no contest for that game.

not sure if anyone else has noticed or given it any thought but our Non Con I think is fair to say this year anyways really wasn't a schedule that would knock your socks off or put put fear into future opponents. Really the only legit School was Michigan State, of course we had the chance to play Alabama but that went out the window. --- Other then that nobody THAT impressive to get jacked about.I mean St Johns ?- -pssst -- please - - Colorado ?- -ehhh. I can remember some years not that far back we had absolute killer schedules one right after another it seemed. - Doesn't do alot for the team playing cupcakes need stiff competition you find out in a hurry where you really stand. - -Maybe next year. What you think ?
Texas Tech & Texas both playing games this afternoon - -kind of different. - -Tech plays at 1

@kubuckets interesting comments
ya your right were some comments made by Coach found interesting. One was him saying we are all going to get it and talked about it spreading like wildfire. Also brought up the scenario where playing before limited capacity or NO fans. I hope it doesn't come down to that again. - Does Coach know something that's on the horizon ? that would suck. How eve he didn't say that was a sure thing but kind of sounded like ummmm you just never now - -that doesn't sound good , BUT I could see it happening
@approxinfinity said in Colorado game Canceled game thread:
@P-H-C NYC is the most densely populated place in the country.
Why is your pediatrician suggesting that you don't vaccinate your children? Unless they have an underlying condition, its surprising that your pediatrician would advise against vaccination unless they're repeating back your own perspective to you, i.e. "Well, if you're concerned about the vaccine, then you might wait..." kind of thing?
Spreading contagion is not just your body, it is everyone else's. Not wearing masks and not getting vaccinated compromises everyone else's health.
Also, my kids public school had a pep rally where all the kids were screaming at the top of their lungs in the gym the day he started feeling symptomatic. Again, people are stupid. So yeah, maybe it's here to stay.
I hope it does prove to be milder, but the article you linked to did not commit to a stance either way as to whether it will be milder in the US or not.
Actually I had heard from interviews also that it was milder less deadly as far as that part of it goes

That'd be my guess. I started having cold-like symptoms on Sunday night and spiked a fever yesterday. Fortunately the fever is gone, but cold medicine wasn't helping much so I looked up Omicron symptoms and they pretty much mirror cold symptoms so I went and got a rapid test today.
