This teams needs time to rest, but has to play Creighton in two days.
we play like this against Creighton and we gonna get fed our N - - - - - -just got to play better. - -Jalen 14 points - - 15 rebounds
Garrett so many dam forced shots - just crazy - -Braun played like absolute warm dog doo , thank GOD for Jalen & Grant.
We got repeatedly on the dribble drive - - mercy until the very end got to get better on the defensive end.
I don't expect Christian to have a game like this again he was just not gettin it today - -this whole game gave me a headache. I hate these dam clubs that milk the clock -- milk the clock , you run into teams like this and you just have to value EVEY POSSESSION gonna be vital.
I think we got \fans Tuesday might help some - -we got to play better then this Tuesday or we gonna get whipped - again an ugly win is still a win , finding a way to get it done. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
we got lucky guys - -we got lucky - but a win is a win
well dam. - - ok still proud - these kids have better days ahead - -the D just played its ass off - -we have just got to get a QB that can move this team
Horrible play call on 4th down. in this position 3 times twice we went shotgun and failed miserable - -direct snap and we make it. - like they were saying just so hard in a shotgun you starting like 3 yards deep hasn't worked any time we have tried that even excluding today - -. - -4 straight runs last possessions - -you got to get it up
@BShark Gethro get any more game time today ?
Dam - - that field goal barely made it - -dam , dam , dam - - -ol boy got a couple fingers on it and tipped but just not quite enough. - -Still 16-13 Tech with 5 :36 to go
KU kids playing their hearts out. Losing players left and right to injuries - -3 more players - -BUT DAMMIT this defense is huge today forced 4 turnovers and down 13-6 in the 4th.
Prunty has been huge - - Harris huge, all these young kids. freshmen - - freshmen - -freshmen. - played some kid 6'8320 plus pounds ?
You got to believe this thing has a bright spot all these young kids- - win or lose you can see pieces
Edit: - -we just tied the game 13-13 with 10:46 left in the game
This is the same Tech team that put up I think they said close to 700 yards of offense on Oklahoma crazy game
Ohio State & Illinois also Cancelled today also

Sad
ya I read this yesterday - just acase of teenagers going clubbing getting one to many drinks - he said he swung and missed and the guy wasn't bleeding - -BUT other witnesses singing different tune - -waste of talent like you said just sad
@BeddieKU23 said in Harris, Thompson, Braun, Wilson, Clemence:
Yep he certainly is playing his way so far to draft radar at some point
I don't see anyway Wilson going in the draft after this year, good player at this point but not NBA good
@Marco said in Harris, Thompson, Braun, Wilson, Clemence:
@BShark like I said, not discounting this season but next year's is bigtime. You wouldn't hear me argue about a Harris, Thompson, Braun, Wilson, Clemence. The bench is going to be deep and talented too
To thinkall these guys not losing eligibilty either Thompson will still be a freshman- - - Haris will be a Fr Braun will be a Soph - -I like that
we got to have these Freshmen develop for sure. - we are losing guys left and right now to the transfer . just saw former starting Center Api/mane is entering. - Plus another also entering, this one though was not a factor neve played actually had never heard of him. Still we losing guys, I really hope next recruiting guess it would be 2022 that we really focus on O-line and D-line really hard we gonna need it

So I guess my question now becomes , I saw/read that Hawley is holding off and will not be committing in the early period. - - My question is concerning KU and with us getting CB' do you think he picked up on the fact that we might be having other QB'S commit such as the North Carolina kid/Jace ? - -or considering us and then saw off TOS that there was a QB possibly rumor going to be visiting this weekend - - do you think it might make Hawley cool off - IF he was seriously considering us ?
I think he's just waiting to see how things play out. If we take a transfer QB in January, I think that probably means we wouldn't take 3 QB's in the class. We may offer a grayshirt or something but I think he's going to have better opportunities than that.
Is January the early signing date this year for the football ?

@approxinfinity - LIFETIME BAN me for that comment.

@ajvan said in Coaches with their masks down:
What I find absurd is the players sitting 6' feet apart on the sideline. What exactly is that accomplishing?
Social Distancing
Just pondering , have heard a lot of conversation about Dave & a lot of I guess negative - searching for the right words to place here. - Like I said negative & I'm right there too I've been some disappointed in his play , & when I say negative talk I'm not quite sure that is actually what it is -- maybe more constructive talk. I just think it might be a little hard so quickly.
We all know Dave tries & like I've heard so many times - - he just gets sped up sometimes on the defensive end he looks like a fish flopping out of water ,& here is the thing I think we all got some what spoiled with Doke on the defensive end I think we could say he became an almost elite ( could that be right ? rim protector - -rebounder.
So I think in some peoples mind we just automatically are looking/thinking Dave needs to be the same. - -THAT'S not happening - -Mc Cormack is not a rim protector never has been - - never will be, so then when that doesn't happen then we start looking on the offensive end - -he hasn't produced there either much this year but believe it or not he is trying right now he is just fighting himself/trying to hard almost like he is trying to hard /thinking about what he needs to do to get it right other then just playing - Just let it go Dave /play big boy. Over thinking at this point
I know for myself anyways I know that Dave can do better - -he has done better. He will never be THE STUD but I think and have seen from last year he can be a very adquate player - -averaging 10/11 points a game and grab anywhere from 8-9 rebounds a game I know he is capable of that.
I just really don't think we need that much from him offensively if he could get what I mentioned 10 points or so and focus on rebounding for us. I think that maybe some wanna compare him to Doke since we just got over Doke - -Doke kind of spoiled us defensively rebounding maybe just a little harsh to fast - I think he will be fine just got to work through what he is going through at the present/ Like I said I'm just as guilty partially cause I seen some good games out of him last year -but thats OUR BOY - -we just need to back him and not pick him apart and talk down on him. don't think there isn't ONE SINGLE player that hasn't gone through something like this and tried forcing things - -I for one am sticking with him - -and i think coach probably has a little better idea of what's going on then we do - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Marco said in After 3 games- Discussion:
@jayballer67 what, better to go with Dave?
ya , not only would it be - -it will be. - -More game experience -- more bulk, Dave gonna be all right Gethro just isn't ready other then spot minutes
Well it was a game, can't really get hyped about tonight like I said earlier ya he scored what tonight 17? - -doesn't men by far he has got it fixed - it was Washburn , let's see a show of hands how many here really DIDN T think that wouldn't happen. So his out put doesn't surprise me a lot. Might help some but still work to do.
I know this our defense has still got a lot of work to do. Way to many easy shots in close I'm sure Bill didn't like that. - but it was a good workout and hopefully some guys can get going
Wilson & Oachi had good games again - -Harris was solid - so on to the next one
@Marco said in After 3 games- Discussion:
@jayballer67 I disagree. That guy is a player, and will play this year. Mark it.
he might play but if he is it's going to be clean up play
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
Update: can confirm Jace is transferring and graduating in December. Quite impressive to finish a BBA from Kenan-Flagler in 2.5 years. Also, will have 4 years of eligibility. Hit the RS trifecta: normal, medical, covid.
So you think he comes? - - yes or no ?
Tonight would be a perfect time to let Gethro get some time - -get his feet wet, little time against some competition - -
@BShark said in After 3 games- Discussion:
Gethro being behind Mitch, who Self doesn't even want to play in tight spots, kinda says it all.
The good news is, once he gets stronger he is an interesting option. I think year three in the program is when we see him getting some actual tick.
if he is still here in 3 years. - -could be by then if he is not getting time - -he will be gone
@BShark said in Dajuan Ball Hawk Harris:
@Kcmatt7 He is going to SHATTER the program steal record if he plays 5 years.
just need to name him easy lol - -as it looks pretty easy for him on the defensive end. mercy I think we really gonna like this kid before it's all said and done - -Hell I already like him
@wissox said in so looks like Covid starting to cause problems with basketball already:
Most people to die in a day in Illinois was yesterday in Illinois, well over 200.
THEY had an article here in Topeka today from our bigger hospital - -they are afraid of the OTHER shoe dropping. Which is another wave of the COVID as a result of Thanksgiving massive get togethers. - They said they have been warned by WHO that already seeing cases of COVID starting to spike again from Thanksgiving - and put the Thanksgiving results and now with Winter coming and gatherings gonna get bad - -is there no end ?
I just hope people don't think if Dave goes off tonight things are fixed - - it's Washburn , think about it. - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

ISU is in danger against South Dakota State lols
Update: THEY LOST OMEGALUL
mercy. - -boy the K-State ISU game ought to be really entertaining lmao - -that will be like watching the grass grow
@bmensch said in Non-KU Games Thread:
@jayballer67 that's good! wish I could watch it...had to take care of some stuff when the half ended.
ya, it's kind of crazy seems to be moving fairly easily now running up and down the court. - -looked really bad at the time as you know
@bmensch said in Non-KU Games Thread:
@jayballer67 Kobe shot free throws and walked to and from the bench when he ruptured his. Kobe was a crazy physical monster and Durant's injury didn't look like anything...so its possible.
well he is back in the game playing now pretty scary for him I'm sure
Mercy Suggs coming back in - -still limping pretty bad
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Iowa St is an embarrassment to the conference.
they lose I'm taking it ?
@bmensch said in Non-KU Games Thread:
@jayballer67 premature thought and I ain't a doctor...but it looked like a blown achilles. I didn't see the calf muscle move up as is typical...but he's a tough kid and seeing him cry on the floor was pretty heart wrenching. I concede I root for kids to miss shots, rebounds, defensive assignment, etc. but seeing a kid hurt...never good.
I'm no doctor either lol. If he blew his achilles would he be able to put any weight /pressure on that foot? - showed him walking a little back and forth in the tunnel - not very good but some.
The achilles is the one in the back isn't it ? major - - I thought maybe with him being able to put some even a little that it was maybe just a major twisted - but I sure don't know. - -If he tore that then wow
well KU has seen this before with WV -- beat the to death on the boards with those two
With Suggs out , that changes the hole complexity of the game. - -EVERYTHING changes
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Rut Roh. Jalen Suggs down with an apparent ankle injury. Doesn't look good
that would be a big blow for then
missed it. - - Is that Suggs down ? - -what happened
West Virginia being typical West Virginia now - -to much standing around/stale one on one/forced sloppy handling to's
@approxinfinity said in Non-KU Games Thread:
I'm gonna call it now. WV will beat Gonzaga. Gonzaga is good, but they're not way in front of the pack as everyone thinks. WV has real bigs. And we just sucked.
Oh be careful buddy - I just don't see it - West Virginia still has lots of problems shooting the ball- has big droughts, & they have NO ONE that can stay with Suggs
we gonna enjoy Harris I believe for some time to come. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I think this West Virginia game & Gonzaga could get ugly for West Virginia. - -I just down think they have the ponies to stay with them - -Gonzaga just pretty dam good - -shoots well. West Virginia like always can go into long dry spells inconsistent on their shooting. We shall see
Here is a news flash guys - - I think this Texas team might be legit
@BeddieKU23 said in After 3 games- Discussion:
No doubt we need Dave. But so far his numbers are negatively impacting the team single handily. Hopefully he can get healthy and practice and slow down and settle and cut down on the issues currently plaguing him.
Agree , and actually kind of the same train of thought as DCHawker said. I think mainly we need for match up grab a few rebounds we may not need him to score alot - -basket here - -basket there work or concentrate on defensive end - -just his presence - -help on the boards -- if he scores he scores -we have scorers - just need him in certain situations.
Hell let Jalen go ahead play the 5 if possible - -let Dave back him up a bit I don't know shows how much I know lol
@justanotherfan said in Non-KU Games Thread:
K-State probably doesn't have double digit wins this year. I can't see more than 3-4 wins in conference for them.
if they get that. - -I'm not sure who they will beat
