Boy we have just GOT TO get Dickinson & Mc Cullar out of this shooting slump
When you have put up 23 points in over 24 minutes of play - - -that's bad , but I seen this coming

If Houston could make a free throw it’d be a 30 point game. 41-21 Houston at the half, Houston has great ball movement
Houston pretty dam good
Dam K/State getting that ass curb stomped by Houston 29-12 with like 6:20 in 1st half
Houston was taking it to K/State early. not quite sa bad now, I seriously think K/State won't scratch 60
really surprised KSU/Houston not on some TV - -shows it was suppose to be on ESPN but no
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
Saw were recruiting Tajh Ariza # 13 in the class 6'6 wing - -his dad played NBA for 18 yrs I really don't remember him but he said even though he went to another school,, he was staying out of son's recruitment saying it was going to be his decision, no pressure to go to dad's School. Anybody know anymore on him ?
Does anyone know are we still recruiting Xavion Staton- -? - -A Seven foots from Las Vegas. -He has over 30 offers, thing going for us w was in on him quick. Kinda raw still on the offensive end but getting better and is really good defending the rim - Schools involved early - - Ku , UNLV , California , & Maybe Gonzaga. Anyone heard anymore on him or have w cooled ?
Anyone know what Huggy is doing now, since not Coaching ?
Here is a news flash - - - - -don't expect anyfavors in Hilton tomorrow, could get ugly. Expect Kevin & KJ both in foul trouble early
@drgnslayr said in Other bball games:
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.
They are REALLY BAD. Did you see this game ? - -one time KSU player got a bloody mouth from an elbow - -ref looked the other way - another when they called a foul on KSU- -the dam guy tripped ove his own feet, didn't touh fan. - -Watch out Saturday. - their guards are really dirty
Sonon re-classifying and visiting KU Feb 3rd
Well went back and watched so video, from this past Season and gotta say I'm am so stoked , got the juices really flowing, gave me goosebumps just hearing the crowd thought out loud dam this is actually KU and their fans making this kind of noise - it was the KU / K/State game , Devin busting loose for 36 yard TD and crowd just roaring. with what we got returning and the guys coming in - - Big 12 put on notice - - WERE COMING trap em up - -your gonna need it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Not sure how we are going to stand up going 5-8 Saturday -Mercy what a circus last night
@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
@drgnslayr said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:
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
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.
@approxinfinity Philly is the team we have to root for--- -Philly has three KU players currently, Jo , Jo - - - Marcus Morris- - -& Kelly Oubre -- Jo , Jo is THE BEAST
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
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
Holy crap Johnny Scores - - - -Johnny rebounds - - is there ANYBODY ELSE other then Johnny playing for KU
@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:
Watch they call this on the floor instead of shots
they did - - on the floor
Thank God for Johnny
This team just struggles
Cincinnati's three league losses have come by a total of seven points

Holy Crap 3 minutes to go in the game and Jo . Jo has 66 points for Philly tonight
Glad I'm getting my eyes checked tomorrow, cause sure looks like Kevin is getting mugged
Another strong start, why can't we keep this intensity - - ROCK CHALK
Better bring the lunch pail cause Cinn pounds the glass. - - Plus guess what I'm sure we get to listen to good ol Frannie tonight nad listen to his BS, you know how much he like KU. -Think I'll listen to Hanni & Gurley- - yippee
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
Dam our boy just keep doing amazing. - - - -over last 7 games Jo , Jo averaging 37.2 ppg - - -10.1 rpg - -& 4.2 assists. -over 30 points last seven games, nobody in the league has done that since Jordan in 1986/87
Here is his stats : - - over this stretch: -- 51 points - 12 rebounds - -& 2 steals - - - game 2 : - -31 points - -10 rebounds- -9 assists - -- -game 3 : 31 points - -15 rebounds - -10 assists
game 4 : - 30 points - -10 rebounds - - -3 blocks - -game 5 :- -- 41 points - -10 rebounds - - 3 assists - -game 6 - - -41 points - -7 rebounds - -10 assists - -game 7 - -: - -41 points - - -7 rebounds - - 4 steals
Those are insane numbers it's just to bad they organization is wasting him by not getting him and legit help - -No Championships. - -put him with another legit player or two and he would have multiple championships. - To think that was our boy who wanted to come back lol. - we have had a couple real stud NBA players -- Paul, & Jo Jo
Well I wasn't to far off as to how far we would fall. - -I said probably drop to 8th - -we dropped to 7th. -- Big twelve still has seven teams i top 25 STRONG
Think we take substantial drop in polls.---- 8th possibly ?
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Playoffs:
Nance really jinxed that kick by Bass. I always feel bad for kickers when they miss with the game on the line.
No I helped , I said even before they snapped the ball, I said to myself - -- Self , watch he is gonna miss this lol -- sure nuff he did. Yay me lol
Here is your future Leader. - -Marshall already showing leadreship, quoted from twitter " Same Team - -Same Goals - -No Switching up , Warner throwing in comments also - -That's our boys
@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

@FarmerJayhawk Juan had 5 steals but hand down man down every other time
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
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat:
@kuballin10 we gave up 91 points to the worst team in the league. One guy doesn’t get heat for that.
I know it’s your schtick but Hunter and Furphy got abused all game long. This one was a total team effort. Nobody played great. Or even that good.
OMG here we go again time to blast Juan Holy crap
Couldn't be any prouder of my boys. Was 5 minutes away from making it to the Championship , Future is really bright. - -& I'l say this I think Detroit will beat San Fran's ass , Purdy was not impressive at all, our kicker cost us this game plain and simple-- --been inconsistent all year long. - -But a great year - -looking forward to next year, I love what we got
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat:
At this point I think 6 losses gets a share. Tech is currently getting boatraced by BYU, which will mean everyone but KSU will have 2 losses already.
Ya this league is just stupid good, I mean BYU is just curb stompin TECH AT TECH
