@approxinfinity said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:

Lol @ Jay saying “they are doing what Cal wanted them to do, play instinctually” thats what he will want them to do the remainder of their time at UK as well.

Cal does so little with the talent he gets - -Always get's all these supposed one and dones and what have they won- - not anymore National Champions then Bill has gotten . I'll take Self any day anywhere anytime of Calipari

this about to get really ugly

might want to try and defend the three just a tad bit better

I'll be dam there is that Non Scorer again - Juan - hmmmm . lol

not sure we cover

@DanR said in Other bball games:

@jayballer67 If you factor in the whiney fans, then--sure--kentucky is worse, but just looking at 40 years of smug/precious players, Duke's teams/coaches have been far more hatable for my entire lifetime. I don't know any actual real-life Duke fans, but I'm sure they're insufferable too.

Well that's true - -1st very solid example would be Mr wonderful -- Grayson Allen - -nothing but a trash player , and I rest my case - -you are correct

@DanR said in Other bball games:

@jayballer67 DUKE

I just don't know- - Kentucky smells pretty bad also

I'm just not sure who I despise more - -Kentucky OR Duke. - -Is it possibly for their to be a tie ? lol

@BeddieKU23 said in Other bball games:

Duke refs shine bright like a diamond

I was just getting ready to post about this - - Doesn't matter if it's rat face Coaching these idiots or Scheyer, every fricken whistle seems to blow every time at their end of the floor.-- They sure love protect Flippo, never ends

MSU on a little roll - -down 3

@stoptheflop said in Other bball games:

Typical officiating crew: Duke 1 foul; MSt 5

Maybe but like Bilas said multiple times your not going to be fouled being a jump shooting team. - Neither team has played like they gonna knock your socks off. -- Michigan St 4-44 three point shooting for the season so far - -& we thought we were gonna have problems with our shooting.

@kuballin10 said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:

We go as Juan goes. Good Juan = W and bad = L.

Their board is talking about how he’s weak with the ball, not a good on ball defender and their guards can take advantage of him.

They are partially right in their analysis. Juan isn’t that quick laterally and he isn’t strong with the ball (it’s not like steph curry on a string) but his 7 foot reach or whatever it is makes up for it with reach in steals and deflected passes.

Hunter, KJ, Kev will all do their thing but it hinges on our Veteran guard.

Be nice to see Elmarko get 10 or Furphy see some shots go down….I think those two step up and aren’t afraid of the bright lights.

I also think uk’s guards won’t be afraid of the bright lights either. These guys plays big games in aau ect them playing tonight isn’t some entirely new atmosphere

It's alsp kinda funny if your on their board that how many of them are making up reasons for them losing if it happens, talking about their short bench and how this game is really nott hat big of a game - like they are already conceding defeat

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Early tell tale about the Ladies tonight:

@jayballer67 I don't expect 40-0 every season, but 1 NCAA Tournament in 8 seasons should not acceptable either for a P5 college basketball program. Losing to inferior teams on the road is far too common under Schneider and he's had more than enough time to build this program into one that makes the NCAA Tournament more than not and 12.5% isn't acceptable to me.

3 NCAA Tournament appearances in 20 years is not acceptable. If that's your standard of success, then raise your standards and stop making excuses for underachieving. KU should've won last night against an inferior team and they didn't.

I'm not apologizing for having higher expectations than making the tournament 3 times in 20 years and it does puss me off when people make excuses/justify the failures of the women's basketball program. It's the same argument I made about Ritch Price and baseball for years about his mediocrity as well.

let me say this more slowly so you can understand. You -that would be the one I'm replying to - - you ya you have your opinion and I have mine and personally I really don't care if it pisses you off or not, nowhere in my reply I did or did I not ask you to apologize hell would freeze over first., and again a little more slowly I'm NOT making excuses - simply stating FACT have a great day

@DanR said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:

Was Kentucky planning on playing 3 footers at the same time? I wish, but I doubt that. It'd be a fast break blowout.

That's what Kentucky fans believe will be their route to victory tonight: run, run, run and leave plodder Dickinson in the dust. Kentucky starters are all averaging double digits in scoring, but against NM St and TxAM-Commerce. Coach Cal hasn't played very many guys during their first two games.

your right I think he or so they said had been playing 7 guys right now because of the injuries. --they wanna run - - -let's run

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Early tell tale about the Ladies tonight:

@jayballer67 said in Early tell tale about the Ladies tonight:

Well can you feel good about a loss ? - - I'll tell you what, the Ladies represented themselves really well on the road - -yes we lost 91-85 - -but all things considered Penn St had a girl score 34 points really really good , but still right there all night.

Considering Penn St had won their first two games by 43 & 57 points -we showed really well. --Penn St had turned their opponents over in the first two games 26 times in each game - -KU turned it over I think 11.
again yes we lost but I think wea re going to be just fine

That was a bad loss for KU. Penn St. isn't a good team and this was a game KU should've won. KU was picked 3rd in the B12 and PSU was picked near the bottom of the B10 this year. PSU was 14-17 last season. KU has to won these types of games to make the NCAA Tournament.

Sorry I disagree that was a very good team. they have improved every year under this Coach and they have a player that could play Big 12 basketball and do very very well.. - 1st game on the road for the Ladies and played very well, very fast paced. There are a lot of teams Penn State would have beat in the Big 12, not sure what game you was watching. but totally disagree I don't think it is a bad loss at all

At what point do we stop making excuses for Schneider? He's made one NCAA Tournament in 8 years and had multiple teams that should've made the tournament and didn't like last season. Are you really going to claim that KU, who was picked 3rd in the B12, losing to the team picked 12th/13th out 14 teams in the B10 isn't a bad loss?

This would be like if the men's team goes out loses to UCF in Orlando later this year.

Look I'm not making excuses , I'm stating fact . I'm telling you the team that KU played last night would of beaten 3/4 of the other teams that are in the Big 12. Now if you can't see that then I don't know what to tell you. All last night goes to show you that on any given night anybody can beat anybody, no matter where they are predicted to finish in their conference. KU Ladies DID NOT play that poorly against Penn St, they played pretty dam well. Never at any point did I feel -well here is another Schneider calamity .
- -
Just happens to be Penn St has a player that would start and play well on any Big 12 team, if you was watching the game anyone could of seen that. The biggest issue of the night was they were getting killed on 2nd and 3rd chance scoring opportunities by getting beat on the boards and being out hustled. Sorry but Coach can't wave a wand or draw up any plays where Schneider can change that, that's on the players themselves NOT coach. Now if you have the answer to those issues then I know some other Schools that just might wanna talk to you - -One being Tom Izzo as to why he got beat by a little lesser light the other night. - These things happen all the time, now does that mean if KU & Penn St were to play ten time Penn St would win all ten ? - -Hell no , but they wouldn't go winless either.

Bottom line is I am not mad - -PO'D or anything else about this game last night, it just so happens that the other team played better NOT because Ku played poorly, it's not like Coach said to himself hmmmm welp about time for me to throw another game so I can listen to people bitch again. - there are some people who wants a team to go perfect every year - -news flash - that's not happening.

We just played a team that was averaging over a hundred points a game , a team that was forcing 26 turnovers' game & playing on their home floor , with like I said a really dam good player and a couple of others that wasn't that bad. - -We lost by SIX - -SIX. & no before you reply and say oh so your content with a loss huh? - -umm no who ever is BUT I'm not gonna place blame when it's not deserved.

Ok so, you said how you felt - -I said how I felt , so now I'm done, not gonna continue to just exchange barbs that get's no one nowhere it's something we don't agree on & that's fine you have your opinion & I have mine. - -Time me to focus on the guys tonight. -ROCK CHALK

@wissox said in What to Expect at the Champions Classic?:

Isn't Kentucky missing some bigs?

ya three of their seven footers - -Bradshaw and two others two broke their foot - -and the other hasn't been cleared by the NCAA - however he MIGHT get cleared by tomorrow, but I don't think it is a high chance from the way they talk

Well can you feel good about a loss ? - - I'll tell you what, the Ladies represented themselves really well on the road - -yes we lost 91-85 - -but all things considered Penn St had a girl score 34 points really really good , but still right there all night.

Guess we will find out early just really how good the Ladies can be tonight at 5:00. -Our Ladies play Penn State and it's going to be a hard one.

Penn State is 2-0 so far , shooting 42.9 from the three - - they are averaging over 100 points a game- -beating Bucknell - -94-51-& Navy 107-44. - -we have good core picked for third in the Big 12 I believe this is going to be a HUGE challenge Early. - It's on the BIG network if you would care to watch. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG

I dunno call me crazy BUT I feel better about our bench now then I did earlier. - -I think Parker will be fine to feel in for Hunter for a few minutes, he actually is a little more athletic then I though - - I just read an article about the Champions Classic and how all NBA teams will be there to watch guys , and that El Marko in their mock draft is # 17. - Kinda sounds like he might not be here for more then one.

Our two Pg -Juan & El Marko when filling in right now have 30 assists and 4 turnovers - -both have a 15/2 ratio. Might be catching a break with UK's three 7 footers won't be playing. -Hope we play well
Kentucky fans are certain they can run us off the floor - -what am I missing?- -we always like to get out and run

@jayballer67 said in Bowl game tracker:

I'm not worried about Lance going anywhere , like was said --he stated that Girod & Geoff had treated him & his family extremely well and they loved Lawrence, and on top of that a big factor you have to consider is AGE. Lance is in his 60's and pretty sure sounds like he is ready to settle and not just keep jumping around. He likes it here and wants to stay here

He was on another podcast and said unfortunately this time of year your going to hear a lot of rumors and they are just not true

Damn - if jayballer thinks he is staying then that's just more evidence that he will likely leave! :grinning_squinting_face: . :man_facepalming:

Also, another correction: Lance is 59 years old.

Well dam Lance is a spring rooster then lmao

@Gorilla72 said in Tracking the Outgoing KU transfers:

I didn’t realize Tristan Enaruna had transferred to Cleveland State. Glad he’s doing well.

Hell , I didn't even realize he was still in College lol

Have to throw this in here too, as of this minute Harris/Jackson combo has30 assists- - - -4 turnovers - -not to bad

Was doing some browsing this afternoon ran across our stats, just totally nuts. 1st let me say now I KNOW we ALL KNOW w have to consideration the competition that brought us these numbers but still.

We have to realize these will drop but interesting still. just think if w could even come close to some of these throughout the Season ok so I'll show you these :

Right now after 2 games we are averaging 98 points per - -- our opponents are averaging 58.5 - -which means we are beating our opponents by right at 40 points a game lol.

At this moment we are shooting 62.6 fg % -we are shooting 80.8 ft % - -- averaging 41 rbg per - We are averaging 29.5 assts per game - -& 46.9 from the 3 pt line lol. - That my friends would win you many , many games.

We have 3 players shooting at least 80 % from the floor right now , 2 players shootin above 60 %

ok now for a little fun trivia ready, now no cheating and you can't look it up . Right now after two games NAME ME THE KU PLAYER- -who is shooting 90 % from the floor 9-10 shooting - - - 50 % ft - - -averaging 10 points per game -- -Avg 5 rbs per game - -leads the team with 4 blocks - -& shooting 50 % from the 3? - -any guesses ?

If Devin goes in the NFL after this Season , good for him hope he does well. - - Not overly concerned about our RB position Hishaw chances are will be back and we have some really good prospects coming in. - - red Martel - - Johnny Thompson -& Stewart should be ble to pick up any slack that is left with the departure of Devin

Coach said in this post game it was a head injury with Jason .That to me sounds like possible concussion but could very easily be wrong. -- Coach also said Jason was feeling better later also , so with that can't see it being a concussion. If it is I'm sure he would have to clear protocol - -not sure how long that takes if it is.

@bskeet said in Oubre and Embiid, teammates!:

Oubre was hit by a vehicle and is hospitalized.

oh dam , was he a pedestrian? - -hope he is going to recover

Can't really bash Ballard. - He did what he could after being thrown in the fire, freshman walk on that interception not his fault. just the offense over all w had three drives over 70 yards in the 2nd half and only came up with 6 points. - - -not scoring in the red zone killer, No would it been different for us if Jason was in the ? - -Probably, would of scored at least on 1 of those three drives , but the kid tried - -defense played big 2nd half -I agree I fricken hate going into any kind of prevent defense. -why the hell don't you just continue to play your regular defense instead of this crap ? -- your just snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Dam

ball game

Not good they getting in range

we got to stiffen up 0;26 seconds - -OT is a lot better then where we were
