These zebras are a J-O-K-E hopeful a different crew Saturday

Told you to watch the calls in the 2nd half

@kjayhawks said in Sams club game chat:

The clock seems to be moving in slow motion

I was just thinking that myself. Plus have you ever felt good about how we have done and yet neervous at the same time.

Like Gurley just said , he doesn't like the retaliation , by El Marko BUT the officials just have to start calling the initial foul from Samford players only natural your going to react

Watch these whistles the 2nd half. - -more phantom calls

Jackson has 4 turnovers --- just has to take better care of handling the ball

Ever since they called that Tech on the Samford bench they trying to make it up to them --who didn't see that coming.-- that call on Juan was total Bull

Were just destroying their press. - -that and the height difference is killin them too

Glada to see Johnny is ok

If we just take care of the ball , could be fine

Good to see Johnny hit a couple

Well so far - - - - - - -doing well, man we need nick to hit like that more would be big lift. Love how we are attacking that press

They just said Dickinson will be wearing a brace in the game , but has been practicing full go

@kjayhawks said in Thursday game chat.:

Let’s not yap too much guys we still have a tough one ahead of us

Exactly , but it's still sweet anytime Kentucky loses. - -Just like they say it's sweet when as they say Toupe Bill loses

@DanR said in Thursday game chat.:

who was the gray haired woman grizzly fan for Oakland they kept showing?

I think MAYBE she might of been the mother of the dude that made the 10 three pointers maybe ?

Can you imagine the Kentucky Fan base

UH - - OH - -somebodies better protect Coach Cals house

For all the talent Kentucky has, they have done so much less

UH - - - -OH - - -SAY IT ISN'T - -SO CAL

ya that score just killed Oakland - - -watch

Getting sticky BUT- - - -we couldn't get that lucky - - - -could we ?

Looking like Iowa State gonna cruise

@jayballer67 Score was 27-11 at half! Tex/COLST. Colorado state made a pretty good comeback after that disaster.

ya I watch some of it till others started , but they won , -- umm think they play Tennessee next -- uh oh

if Tennessee wins, LOL

TRUE - -- Actually the lower seeds haven't done to bad for at least awhile today. -Hope ours isn't like that. Actually I do have in one of my many brackets lol - --I actually got U Conn & Tennessee --I know I know- -but Tennessee not bad

Would be nice if we could come out and play some solid ball from start to finish tonight, none of these one possession games , see Johnny come out of his slump - -- -would be nice to cruise some like Gonzaga is. - -BUT - - - --

WOW -- Texas leading Colorado St- - -39-32 with 7 :30 to go in the game - - those baskets must be sealed shut

@kjayhawks said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

@BeddieKU23 I’m hearing they could see a mass exodus

ya I think they have some real issues taking place

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 Coaching Carousel:

Tang to SMU? Many people are saying

Really ? hadn't heard that. wouldn't think he would go there if he didn't take the Louisville , but what do I know.

I see Cam Carter entering the portal , I think they got some internal uneasiness going on

That dang guy from Oakland is just going nuts - -mercy , but ol Cal going have to change something. - - -Iowa St being Iowa State- - -forcing a lot of turnovers

Texas winning - And Gonzaga hasn't shown anything special , not to me anyways to this point

@wissox said in Thursday game chat.:

@jayballer67 I was being sarcastic. I just don't like the expansion.

oh, sorry ya, I understand but the way things are going there is even more coming

@stoptheflop said in Other bball games:

I didn't see BYU run any of the screens they used at AFH where they would get one 3 point shooter open to draw the defense, then a second shooter took the open shot. It always seems like Big 12 coaches and teams play much harder and game plan better against KU than in the tournament.

They really looked out of sync all day today. They for the longest time was having to scramble on defense --- you would find 2-3 BYU players all cluttered up trying to run their offense for quite awhile just out of sync

@wissox said in Thursday game chat.:

BYU aint part of our league yet, they're a probationary member.

They ARE a member of the league they are full participant's in the sports, football past Season - Basketball , if they were eligible for the conference title, they are in the league- -they have been voted in

It sucks BYU couldn't win, makes our league look even worse. All w hear like every year how tough this league is, then BYU goes out and promptly loses to Duq , the same BYU team that came into teh phog and whipped KU's ass huh, Maybe that's why we hate them so bad huh? - because it makes us look even that much worse. People should be pulling for the Conference . Wonder how bad DUQ would of beat us

Well BYU didn't represent the league to well starting off. They never led for majority of the game, I think they led for like maybe a minute. - -not a good start

Welp time for BYU to start. - - Let's go big 12, pulling for everyone now prove the strength and toughness of this conference

@COHawk said in Samford predictions?:

Seems that too often on here we fear the other team and wonder how on earth we can adjust to them. What are they thinking? They lost by 50 when they played against Purdue and their big center.

I sure don't fear these guys, of course I'm not on the floor either lol. I respect them, you need to respect any team - -to an extent. they press all the time, every where and with the thin bench , yes that could cause issues, this is where we need El Marko more fore his ball handling to go with Juan, he just has to keep his poise because it will be intense - -they come at you in waves - - play all twelve so they say - -ten of them average over ten minutes , could wear you down.

They have 6'9 guy pretty much mr everything the way they talk. Hunter will have to respect his outside game because they say he can hit the three. the one thing for sure we can't afford if for Hunter to get in to foul trouble- -- - - -Respect them yes - - Fear them no

@jayballer67 said in Bracket chat:

Coach said they have 10 players that average at least 10 minutes a game, and they will play 12 players, they aren’t worried about what the score is, they want to see how many possessions they can get. Coach said they make you go and make plays.
Saying they press everywhere and by the time you get set you probably going to be down to like 15 second and you aren’t going to be able to have time to run your play - -That’s where it comes they make you go make plays.

A big key is for us to defend tight and force TOs. This is a team that TOs a ton. If we do that, we will have plenty of easy runouts and they won't be able to press. Also... without Kevin we don't have enough scoring on the floor. TOs and runouts is our easy path to victory... anything else will probably be a dog fight and our chances reduced.

One thing... we will be fresh! I like our chances!

I still like our chances too my friend , I am being honest at this point though I'm not expecting anything after, but man would be sweet for tonight cause there is NO ONE in National media gives us a snow ball's chance tonight - -especially Seth Davis & Greenburg, saying all the money is on Samford. - -Let's roll the ball out and LET's PLAY. like Coach said THIS ought to be the year we step on the floor and be the one with THAT CHIP on the shoulder -w have nothing to lose right ? I men no one is expecting us to win ----Soooo play and see whz up. - -ROCK CHAK

@wissox said in Other bball games:

Cam Martin sighting for Boise. He just got T-d up for throwing a ball very lightly at a guy who tossed the ball at him very lightly who also got T-d up. Pretty laughable T really unless there was something said.

The guy he threw the ball at was Eddie Lampkin- -and I think he played at TCU ? - Lampkin flushed the ball on Martin then stepped over him first then dropped the ball on him and then Martin threw it back at Lampkin

Just got through listening to Coach 's press conference and things that was said, and from what I'm getting from this he said : Samford presses everywhere, very seldom do you see a team press on FG misses ful court, press on missed free throws, they press every where.

Coach said they have 10 players that average at least 10 minutes a game, and they will play 12 players, they aren't worried about what the score is, they want to see how many possessions they can get. Coach said they make you go and make plays.
Saying they press everywhere and by the time you get set you probably going to be down to like 15 second and you aren't going to be able to have time to run your play - -That's where it comes they make you go make plays.

Themm pressing everywhere makes me cringe with Timberlake & El Marko making wild passes- -ove guys heads , -- behind guys- - - passes where no one is there, - - passes at their feet Lord help us.

First question asked was about limitations on Dickinson was there any - -Self absolutely zero, Hunter is completely good to go, saying they was worried about if he tried for monster jam and hang on rim Coach said nope - - no limitations , that Hunter had been doing really good.

Coach said that kind of strange but that this is a year actually with everybody being on Ku and talking about our struggles - -he said actually this ought to be a year when we are the one with A CHIP ON OUR SHOULDER - -hell ya we should - - let it fly.

Montana St - - -Grambling St , pretty good game - 70-70 with 1:25 to play

Well another suit on the ACC , bringing us one step closer to the ACC'S implosion. Clemson has now joined in with Florida State. FSU is now not on the island alone. Lot's of talk about the ACC magnificent 7 talking again about their possibilities.

Clemson has been talking and finding out their brand value and have found someone or someone's who have told them their value is good. -- They have that landing spot. Part of their lawsuit on the ACC is that the ACC does not have rights to their money after they leave the league, also saying they their exits fee's is out of proportion and not paying. example is like Big 12's averages out to like 80 million - -SEC is like 40-50 million- - -BIG's is little to nothing - - ACC is trying for 140 million

The talk is the magnificent 7 FS U , Clemson , Miami , N Carol , Virginia Tech , Virginia , NC St have been having outside talks finding their value talking with others-- -plain nd simple FSU - - is GONE - - Clemson is - -GONE.

With the way the current CFP is set Florida St and Clemson and others in the ACC realize that the money distributed between the Conferences the BIG & SEC - then the ACC , -Big 12 - is that they are losing even more ground, So their only answer is to get out of the ACC.

Two big dates to keep in mind is- - like June 30th of this yr - -and I think they said the 17th of Feb. next year - -June 30th is decision needs to be made before Stanford and Cal and SMU's vote counts -And Feb 17th not 100 % sure on that day but that's when ESPN I think can extend their tv contract with the ACC and general thought is that ESPN is not going to renew that contract then they would be even more behind in revenue.

Next to join Florida St & Clemson - -looks like N Carolina is next up on the clock - -probably soon, all this just meaning closer to expansion and Ku taking teams, most probable would be Louisville, Pitt , NC ST and possibly Virg Tech - looking probably 2026 --gonna giet real interesting

Mildcats bounced first round NIT by Iowa lol

ya dude scored 30 on them , they losing some too 4 to be exact , and listening to Jerome may be more. Was asked if there were some they wanting back and then others told maybe to move on, his response was ummm how can I answer this the best without being rude.- -He says he think that's something that should be discussed between him and staff- - not media lol.

They are for sure losing McNair , Guessan , Glover that they had been counting on all year and never played - -and then they are also losing Perry

Well I got mine entered now - -so, ya all might as well just go ahead and hand me the winnings lol

Joson Sanon to Arizona.

Man , and things just keep getting better and better. - -I know there was at least a little more then medium interest, seems like we just keep coming up missing lately.

He's a 3 and with Furphy likely coming back and Liam McNeely still likely, we'll be fine at the 3 next year.

ya, your probably right. I agree with you on Furphy , just not feelin it as much with Mcneely now as I was

@Gorilla72 said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

@jayballer67 - He chose Fizzou. Should be lots of playing time available.

Couldn't of picked a worse school lol - - -ROCK CHALK

Boy one of the players I thought KU might take a shot at sure didn't waste any time. - -Jacob Crews 6'8 from UT Martin who averaged 19.4 ppg - -8.2 rpg - & shot 41.4 from the three already picked his new school
