Cyclone alert today • Jan 27, 2024 02:24 PM

Well another tough road test today, They are trying to do a whiteout , been passing burgers and hotdogs to the students, hell that's almost like a weekly thing here isn't it lol ? I've grown a real dis like of Cyclone fans. They are trying to get fans who sit behind KU Bench to act like they have their phones and stealing KU signs, - -Geez whatever it takes I guess.

I would like to see KU just come out and play a really solid game from start to finish and shut people up. - Juan has to be solid, control the ball better , more like the old Juan. Hunter needs to dominate although we know they will double/triple , hack , flop whatever be ready for physical - -Gonna be loud- stay focused , put they can go through scoring droughts too, not that impressive on offense, don't want a very average 3 point shooting team come out and hit 57 % from the three like WV did. Le'ts not make these guys any better then they are. Let's put these idiots back in their place. - -ROCK CHALK

I totally take Tang's side on this one.

ISU fans are the worst in our conference. Ask other Jayhawk fans about ISU fan behavior in the Power and Light District during the B12 Tourney.

@BeddieKU23 said in Other bball games:

Watch the foul disparity on Saturday, it will be hilariously frustrating to watch.

Exactly was I was going to bring up - - Watch out Saturday , I guess there CAN BE controversy on officiating other then at the Phog. I will say this ONE thing however , one of the questionable calls made BOTH ways just wrong. - -The on where they called the K/State player for a foul when the Iowa State player tripped over his own feet , there was no or if any , very little contact on that play late in the game -I thought WO even though I was wanting K/ State to lose.- - Tang on you tube postgame said he was not going to talk about what him and ISU Coach said in shake line after words was said. Tang was not happy - - -something with the fans.

I'm just glad it was somewhere else then the Phog on referring for a change - -just a bad look. !^ fouls in the last 11 minutes of the game on K/State, Fitz was saying one call every 47 seconds of the game- - -62 free throws shot. How do teams get any kind of a flow when there is that many interruptions?

As a former ref myself I've heard and seen both sides. - They say you know when a game has been officiated well you won't even know there were refs there , Then I also know if a official wanted to be a big enough ass he could call some kind of a foul every single time down the floor. Last Night was just horrible

@jayballer67

My thoughts on why so many good teams are getting smoked... and it's not just college basketball.

I believe it is the impact of smartphones. Everyone is glued to their phones 24/7. I see it with my own kids. Being on for hours every day makes it hard for people to STAY FOCUSED!

What are your thoughts on this?

True I can see what you mean on it. Believe me even though I have no kids where they need to focus on sports but understand on phones. We used to have daughter with that problem, not so much now although still staying focused even now remains an issue, but she would used to come to visit us/well mainly mom but she would come see us and the whole time she was here she would be glued to her phone texting friends/guys - I asked her on multiple occasions did you come to see us OR did you come just to bury your face in that dam phone, I said hell if you wanna just sit thee and do nothing but text while w are trying to have a conversation with you - - -you could do that at home , very frustrating

@wissox said in Is this KU team "lucky" to be 13-1 after Saturday:

@dylans we’re blessed basketball wise to be fans of such a consistently great program.

Were blessed very true, plus we are very spoiled fans. We have rough stretch's and we panic - - -me included, lots of 2nd guessing goes on , from players to Coach's to Ma Kettle cooking possum. Like has been mentioned by BShark when you think about it every team goes through rough stretch's at some point. Hell Kentucky lost to South Carolina last night , not only lost but got curb stomped by 17- - Kentucky is/or was the 6th ranked team and got curb stomped. Kentucky fans are ready to string Coach Cal up- -from one loss. They do that after every loss. Just the nature of fans I guess. -- When we lose , just doesn't happen that often and when we do - - people think the moon going to fall from the night sky, the Earth stands still - -It's going to be ok , I'm telling myself that just as much for myself as anyone else , these are 19-20 yr old kids--- -it happens. Like I posted earlier, saw last night that this year the top ten ranked teams have lost twenty two times to unranked teams, the most in AP history, We just got to bring our A game -- night in -- -Night out

Not saying this about anyone here but I think, caught up in the Bill Self era that a large number of fans definitely take it for granted.

KU is having "KU problems" this year. So..not a dominant team. Still merely top 20 on kenpom. All while missing the projected preseason starter at the 2.

Most programs have a true down year here and there. Calipari has missed the tournament at Kentucky, Coach K missed once at Duke, UNC has rough patches etc... Even strong resources don't guarantee success, you also need a great coach. At some point in the future when we are far past the Self era KU will have a true rough patch, and Self will be remembered even more fondly.

Plus another one to add, Gonzaga not even top 25 how long has it been since they have not been some where in the top 25 ? - -They are having a rough time

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 24, 2024 01:44 AM

Guys as frustrating it is , how mad we might get at the time , like our losses to UCF -WV - -heard this in the Kentucky, South Carolina game tonight - -just think , just might put things in perspective.

Top 10 teams this year have lost so far have lost Twenty Two times to unranked teams - - Twenty Two times ! ! - This is the most in Associated Press History, takes a little bit of the edge off these losses. - -Doesn't make things totally better but it's happening to other top 10 teams too.

Kentucky is getting beat by SEVENTEEN to South Carolina right now with like 2:20 left in the game. - -Announcer said and is right about this, he was asked what is making it so hard for top ten teams to win against these unranked teams - -His response was , when your a top ten team you have that target on your back and playing on the road. - -At least both of your losses to these teams were on the road.

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 23, 2024 03:54 AM

If we can hold on -pull this off, we will take it. -Not a thing of Beauty, but it would be a win,can't lose games on your home floor. -- Not sure what's wrong with Juan, just really bad game, shots are off, turning the ball over- - not sure what going on. Time to close this out

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 23, 2024 03:42 AM

They was talking about Scott, is he sick ? - - they were saying sending prayers for Scott, and something about his heart. - Hanni and Gurley were talking about him and how he was always one of their favorites- - hope he is ok

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 23, 2024 12:19 AM

This will be a very physical game. Cinn loves to mix it up, Think we will be able to get a better feel for Johnny tonight, I think they will try to muscle him, back him down get him in foul troble. We better hit the boards, we can not lose a home game for sure. time to tighten the Jocks

I hope I maintain my perfect record here on predictions on my predictions...

I predict Bill Self, our beloved, respected HOF'r coach, will retire within the next 3 years. I base this NOT on having any inside info... I'm just an old fart (older than Bill) and I'm seeing the signs.

Comments?

Don't think your far off. he has stated he didn't want - to Coach late, wanted to be able to have time to enjoy family. Responsibilities are really stressful. On the road sooo much of the time , dealing with 17-- -18 - -year olds -ya coming ? - -you not coming ? - -all the dam NCAA Bi'Laws - just a lot of stress -every day stress of being a Major D-1 Head Coach. - -going over film/scouting reports. Late nights/early mornings - -won't be surprised in a minute, one of these times NCAA gonna screw with him and just gonna say - you know what ? - - I'm done

@FarmerJayhawk said in OMG now we got people having a stroke thinking LL is leaving.:

@dylans time to raise those. Travis Goff is the man. We’ve never had an AD who prioritizes football like Travis. And given the total mediocrity of this conference there’s no reason we can’t be near the top.

Also. The Desert Edge guys are solid. No worries there.

Dam Farmer I trust you, you say no worries good enough for me man. -That would suck to lose those guys --- Thanks

@drgnslayr said in KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat:

It's not fun to play the blame game... but I will.

I blame everyone except Furph and Timberlake. Both those guys played to their potential!

Everyone else played like they needed a nap. And we can't use the excuse that they play too many minutes. They do.. but so do other players in college basketball that still come to play.

We need some leadership. We need someone stepping up now and taking charge... someone to lead, cheer lead, bring energy, help establish team pride, help establish team identity.

I can see this team losing 8 - 10 games this year. Because of our wins on top teams, it should help keep our NCAA appearance string alive.

It doesn't have to be like this. We can play with anyone if we decide to.

I know this also , these two losses does not look good on our resume. I'd be willing to go out and say- -THIS Team will not be a # 1 seed come Tourney time, especially if they lose 8-10 games like you say - -I can seee them losing 8 anyways - -just not good

Agree effort defensively was poor but we should be able to outscore these guys and if Juan gets his double digits we’d won….

He was aggressive then just stopped shooting

You must be extremely flexible to pull off those mental gymnastics to put all the blame on Dejuan for today.

I think he just sits back and waits with baited breath for Juan. I've NEVER seen someone who is so infatuated with a player, Juan didn't cost us to lose this game by any means.--try how our so called defense really sucked.- -you need to quit ridin Juan so hard - -holy crap dude give it a break your getting old
