Would really like to get it under 10 going into the half
for as poor as we have played your right. If we could keep it under 10 - - 8 points I'd take that. - - Can't get much worse
they had big Goose egg last game and only shooting 21.3 % from the three let them beat you outside
Why can't we go to a Zone - -make them prove they can hit from the outside
JUST A REALLY SAD SHOWING
mercy and Bill was talking about how he haad improved - - - REALLY? - -WHERE

Well less than 100% Marcus is still not ideal.
Yeah like I said, this was impacting him in the St Joe game. Maybe he's slightly better now? Hard to say how far long into this (likely virus) he is.
ya Self said it's not the Virus - - I kinda think it could be
Saying they just saw him hit a 3 point shot and then a floater - saying his name is on the video board as a starter but could be all show
Well the KU announcers for KU -Brian Hanni & Gurley said 20 minutes ago Marcus Garett was a no show. - - Now they say he is out in pre game warmups - -shooting jumpers running lay up drills and other drills looking pretty good.
Now they said they don't know if it is for show not wanting to let Kentucky know he is out or what. - -But is in the pre game
Well the announcers on KU - Brian Hanni and Gurley saying that 20 minutes ago - - Garett was a no go. - -Now they saying he is out in pre-game warm ups shooting Jumpers layups and such looking pretty good.
They said they don't know if it's for show not wanting to let Kentucky know he is out or - -maybe he decided to give it a go
So - - - - - does that mean Harris starts at PG ?
Ballgame
Good to know - - loos like he can muscle up - -good size loves to finish
Is Curry going to be able to have 3 years of eligibility for us ?
So a few things to keep an eye on stat wise tonight. - - Kentucky ;- - - -18 TO'S per - -61.7 FT % - -- 23.1 3 pt % -- - 45.5 Reb Per - & 72.5 ppg
KU : - -15.5 TO'S per - - -71.2 FT % - -44.7 3 pt % - - - -37.5 -Reb per - - -& 92.0 ppg
We have to compete and not just get destroyed on the boards - if we can stay close - I think we can pull this out. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well what a surprise. I see the referees have found their whistles against Michigan State I mean dam
Also not sure if anyone else caught it but I dee where Richmond had stopped activities - -Great , they just got through playing Kentucky.
So that means we played Gonzaga - they had player test positive for COVID - - St Joe had quarintine or positive after we played - - Now Richmond has players positive after playing Kentucky
some tid bits I picked up hadn't realized from the 1st weekend : They were talking about all the bunnies we had missed against Gonzaga. - - - -10 layups against Gonzaga - - TEN - - that's 20 points guys just flat missed. - - -Garrett missing his 1st three layup attempts against St Joes. - -hit half those layups against Gonzaga and we got a closer game - - can't miss the bunnies
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Texas is murdering Indiana. Indiana's offense looks really bad.
Real Bad
Lord give me strength. - -I try , I really do. - -Yet it is almost impossible to try to just be able to sit back -- relax - -have a brew and watch some ball when Walton is one of the Broadcast team.
I swear to GOD that guy rambles on about any thing and every thing other then the game he is suppose to be Color Commentating about. Oh sure once in a great while he may mention something about the game.
Now he is rambling on about wondering why North Carolina is in the so called Champions Classic where North Carolina is the 3rd best in Championship he says. - -Then he wonders why UCLA isn't in the Champions Classic holy crap lol
@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 KU is currently the favorite.
oh decisions , decisions lol. -- on TOS alot of people saying things like they would want Jace cause something about redshirttransfer or what eve. - -if he did come means we could have - Easters , Daniels - - Jace & possibly Hawley - -might be to many
@approxinfinity said in Paul Pierce College HOF:
@wissox TBH I'm mostly living in the present atm. I think it's healthy for us to look back as much as we can and preserve the continuity, it's just hard. Also, I wasn't watching KU much during the Pierce years but I've always been curious. Feels like we've talked at length about Wilt and Manning but my frame of reference on Pierce is a few clips.
Oh you missed a good one during his time at KU. - -I watched him a lot . Got I believe a 8x10 pic of him in his Rookie year in his Celtic uniform all framed in. - -would love to be able to get it signed by him , very mint condition might be worth some money someday for someone. maybe my Grandkids - -or their kids lol
I saw them Scrolling on the bottom of the ESPN Channel. They have KU listed as a 4.5 favorite - -the O/U is 145 & the BPI has us as a 68 % chance to win - -interesting - -maybe 4.5 either way sounds like it could work. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
One name to keep in mind. Jace Ruder, current RS Soph at UNC is likely transferring. Why should we care? Well, Jace is from Norton, Kansas (very much FarmerJayhawk territory) and I’ve been hearing rumors from around the Mid-Continent League that our boy is coming home because he misses wearing blue. And he got recruited over. Twice. But it doesn’t matter. I’d look for him to be a Jayhawk if we can open a spot this spring. If it means asking Easters to blue, I’m all for it. If he doesn’t take it, we’ll still have two true freshmen next year (Daniels and Easters). Comes from a great family of diehard Jayhawk fans.
That would be good. On another note another QB that's been mentioned is Hawley - -have you heard anymore on him ? - - 6'6 hard to replace length looks like he has nice touch. You think there is Any shot ?
It's gonna be a Loooooooooong year for K-State. - Started out 17-0 K-State up on UMKC - -end up winning by 4 points at Bramlege - - UMKC ! ! ! - it could get ugly for Bruce
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
UNC ends the half up 7, they are too much for UNLV
ya they are but I tell you it was ugly for quite awhile

Anyone else seeing this - - -UNLV out to a 13-0 lead over North Carolina at the 1st TV time out - - - ooops.
Just flipped it on. YIKES ROI
took 6 minutes and 15 seconds before they scored their 1st points
Anyone else seeing this - - -UNLV out to a 13-0 lead over North Carolina at the 1st TV time out - - - ooops.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Preseason AP Top 25 Poll:
Good news is we got the record!
222 straight weeks - - -228 in the USA today - -we gonna have that record for awhile too. Duke is the next one at 85 weeks, and we still going.
Another streak we took from UCLA. lol
Also read where the KU guys set another streak. - -We now have the all time streak for being ranked in the polls , we passed UCLA. - We have now been ranked in the polls for 222 consecutive weeks , Started the week of Feb 2nd - -2009.
We also hold the all time Consecutive weeks in the USA today polls. we started our streak in the final 8 polls of 2008/09. - -our streak there is 228 weeks
Like the article said not sure how long this will continue , BUT we gonna have it for awhile cause Duke is the closest to us and they are 85 consecutive weeks - another streak for the crimson & blue. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Saw we dropped one spot. -- Now 7th in the Nation , Kentucky dropped 10 spots to Number 20. - -OF Course Duke moved above us at 6th- -what a surprise. - -Course what are rankings worth , especially this early right ?
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
Lawrence officially in the boat.
that's a big get, when did that happen ? just within the hour ? - -now get the QB

Oh Lord it's Walton. - -He says that's the best he had seen a Davidson player ever play - -and the Commentator says - -it's his 2nd game of his College Career - - OMG lol
Walton clearly smoked himself to death through the entire Steph Curry Davidson years then
lol - -for sure this guy is just whacked
Oh Lord it's Walton. - -He says that's the best he had seen a Davidson player ever play - -and the Commentator says - -it's his 2nd game of his College Career - - OMG lol
Dam basketball All day. - - Texas down early to Davidson
@BeddieKU23 said in St Joes Game Thread:
Self did mention that has happened to Marcus in the past.
Dave was out 2nd half with precautionary knee injury.
Interesting to monitor going into Tuesday
keeping fingers crossed
Houston kind of taking Texas Tech to the wood shed at half - - Houston down 18 points - losing 37-19 - -that's not good
@Crimsonorblue22 said in St Joes Game Thread:
they said Marcus was having some issues getting his breath after the game, , one of the things with COVID is effecting your breathing & lungs ? - -I'm not saying he is coming down with it - - I'm just hoping this isn't the case
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Surprised Kentucky lost today but I wouldn't put too much into that impacting Tuesday. Their frontcourt guys scored 23 pts, 25 reb, 3 blocks which terrifies me in the matchup on Tuesday. The law of averages says they are not going 0-10 from 3 again. We could try and pack the lane and force them to make outside shots, not sure on that strategy. KU's key to victory is to score points.
Not really all that impressed with their game. - Sure they have talent, but Richmond gave them fits , 10 steals - Kentucky has a lot of things to work on. - -Like was mentioned on their own Board Cal plays Askew and he acts like he wants to get rid of the ball as soon as he gets it - - people saying they don't know WHY he doesn't play mince more. - -I don't know but for today anyway I just didn't see anything that scares me. -- Sarr the transfer I mean eh - ok but I think this is one of those games where Coach said we play Dave more I think he can hold play with Sarr,
21 turnovers by Kentucky 60 % free throw shooting - -only 5 assists and 21 turnovers that's going to win you very many games they just didn't impress me today.
Not saying that they can't come out guns blazing Tuesday but I don't feel as bad about this game now - I can see why they aren't rated as high this year at this point anyways
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
Looks like we got them both. Mbow would be the last piece if we could flip him from (presumably) Purdue.
that is nice - hadn't heard Lawrence name mentioned before had you ? - -Sounds like he would be a very solid PU - -and the QB think can compete not to far down the line. - -you don't think this effects Easters do you?
Looks like we might be in good shape to pick up 2 nice additions. - -247 has CB picks for us today:
1st guy is Garfield Lawrence a 6'4 240 pound SDE from Tyler Texas we picked up 2 CB'S from 247 others on the list are Arkansas - - -Colorado - - Houston & K-state would be a very nice pick up - -number 505 in the Nation
The 2nd one is and we heard about him the other day: - -Conrad Hawley a 6'6 QB out of Peculiar Missouri picked up a CB from him would like him too.
Both were VIP Scoop picks so that would be some nice positive news. - -Hawley great size Pro style QB ^'^ has some nice touch - just won their State title - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Boy St Joe has halted activities because of COVID. - -Gonzaga quarintine - -St Joe halting - that doesn't sound good. - - Worried with Marcus having breathing problems the other day against St Joe - -hoping he has become down with the COVID
KU women up 61-27 WITH 2:37 left in the 3rd quarter
Just wrapping this up guys - -KU women win 85-43 Final. - -I'm not excited we know how this goes. - Great non Con then struggle in Big 12. But I will say I think we will do pretty decent and hold our own in some games this year
