@Crimsonorblue22 said in Let's talk Iowa St:

If you notice in interviews he's quick to give others praise for his success! Most of our team is that way, key to our success and we hear that from game announcers too.

KJ seems like a very very respectful , level headed mature young man and your right he just doesn't seem like he ever approach's the me, me , me attitude, he is a very well spoken young man - -even in his interviews he thanks the guys for talking to him

We just need to get back to our game of running.

I feel like this was the same thing last year though. We were a great transition team non-con and then we had slugfests all conference season, only to get to run again in the tourney.

Key is just to survive the conference season again and get that 1 seed.

I know it's worthless right now , but still check it out they still have KU as the # 1 seed overall in the tourney. I've always had different views on that at times. Do we want the pressure of being the # 1 ovrall and put that much more pressure on the guys - -OR do we gladly accept it and take and run with our chances ?

KJ Adams is the Big 12 Player of the Week. He averaged 18.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game this past week in

💙❤️🌾🌾🥰

So happy and proud for him. - KJ has been real work horse. There has been quite a few times lately he has saved our tails. - The thing i like , he can defend the perimeter , his scoring is improving & the kid just flat hustles. He is not afraid to go to the floor and scrap for a loose ball. - He just does whatever is needed. - He can get a block at crucial times it seems , man could you imagine what he would be like if he was a couple of inches taller. - -I'm liking hi more and more all the thime , and the kid is built rock solid - -really stong - you don't see to mny pushing him around - -he is my MVP

Can I go ahead and put my vote in for KJ as our MVP for the Season now lol ?

@jayballer67 Sure - give them all the credit in the world. Love on Mizzou and Kentucky while you're at it.

Holy Shit dude - - just breathe.

They absolutely deserve credit - -if you wanna give Missouri & Kentucky Credit go ahead -it will all be ok.

TCU was also playing K State at TCU to - they will not beat K State by 14 in Manhattan --- It's ok your entitled to what you think , no problem here, I will tell you this we will not beat them by 15 points tomorow - -take a poll and see how many think it will be that big of spread. - -Have a god day man

Correct 26th overall, 36th ranked offense, 39th ranked defense.

Weak non-conference schedule. I think this is a 2 man team that has average level starters besides them & suspect depth.

I'm expecting a tough, tough game but ultimately expect us to win, we are the better team with the best coach out there. Hopefully they play with poise.

Thanks for that. Glad I went and got my new glasses today , cause I reading 36th as 38 th lol -- - couldn't make out the difference between the 8 and the 6 lol.- - Mrecy getting old. , & agree pretty much the Johnson & Nowell show. - Just got to play solid

It’s their biggest game of the year, but just another road game for KU.

Finally!! Someone gets it.

It's K-frickin-State. At the Octagon of Dumb. Who gives a crap? We will go in there and beat them by 15 and all the Purple Pu$$ie$ will whine about the officiating (on their home court), call Self a Cheater and Dick a dick and we will win, like we always do. IT'S K-STATE people. Quit giving them credit.

Sorry that's not happening to not give K/State any credit for the way they have played this year is beyond insane. - -Keyonte Johnson is a big 12 player Nowell is playing really good.- I'm sur your right - - they will say the things you say, that's their choice - but to NOT give them any credit - -is ridiculous at least to give them the credit they deserve for the season. Beating them by 15 points lol we haven't come close to beating anybody in Conference play - - I realize it's K STATE but also a realist and for them to come out and say name the score -let's not even bother to play .I'm not saying we won't win, I think it will be another tough game - - I think your crazy to NOT give them ANY credit on their Season.

@Jethro said in Let's talk Iowa St:

@jayballer67 My apologies, my friend. I was trying to respond to the troll, and I ended up responding to you on accident. I believe every caution you listed. But, I think K-State is much less adept at defense than an Iowa St. I don't think they have the ability to stop us. I do think our plan is to pressure Nowell 94 feet. I think it will be tough, but I think we come out on top.

No apologies bud needed. You and I have been on here to long and rea - -lly never had problems & like I stated every one is entitled to voice their opinions my friend.- -I have to agree with you a little bit more this morning as Beddie mentioned on KenPom and I posted on that - & your right. If I'm reading that dam KenPom chart right K/State is like ratted # 39 defensively & 38th Offensively, I hope I'm reading it right - - I'm not the brightest light in the house lol.

If that's right that's better then Iowa State 7th defensively - Doesn't mean we can take the night off , we have just been playing ok/fair - -just good enough to pull it out. We need to come out strong /solid from the get go - -I think Juan and Nowell will be a really good matchup & wouldn't surprise me in the least if Keevin matchs up on Johnson. -- Another question is who they gonna match up on with Grady ?- - key element again is gonna be that piece of crap gym they have and their little closet fans who have come out from their decade absence since they have a decent team this year -- when they go back to their traditional ways those closet fans will ONCE AGAIN vanish, put their 40 yr old K/State shirts away in the purple closet until the NEXT DECADE when they might have a decent team - - -ROCK CHALK

Well looks like we going against a eam not quite as strong defensively if I'm reading right according to the chart right my friend ? - -am I right in this looks like 39th ? Defensively & 37th offensively or am I reading that all wrong?

Why No Sixth Man on this Year's Team • Jan 16, 2023 01:17 AM

@FarmerJayhawk said in Why No Sixth Man on this Year's Team:

If Zach transfers I think they look for one, whether it’s portal or with the inevitable coaching carousel churn in the spring. They’ll definitely look portal for a 4, assuming both Jalen and Kevin leave.

just me , but I think there is a pretty good chance Zach & MJ both transfer out. - -not being public but from everything that I heard BEFORE the season and talk if he was even going to show , and talk of he might have some issues, I just think by far MJ privately is not happy with his minutes , feeling he should be receiving more floor time - could be wrong but I would not be surprised at all

@HawkChamp said in The next 8 games:

I don’t get when people say “we’re due for a loss”. Judging by Selfs postgame presser yesterday, he wouldn’t either. The way I look at it, we will need a couple good shooting nights during this stretch - TCU and at ISU in particular.

Personally, I’m not as concerned with the game at home with TCU. They like to run, well guess what, our guys can too. TCU is not that good in the half court, well our guys have the ability to execute well in the half court. The part that concerns me also is a KSU hot shooting night Tuesday. Hopefully they’ve cooled off.

Self was also saying yesterday, in a nutshell, that every team we play is giving it 110% to try to beat us. He said that people sometimes expect more than winning by 3 or something like that, which he said can be valid, but they have to keep it in perspective.

Folks, outside of maybe WVU at home, there will probably not be any blowout or double digit wins until the tournament. The competition is too good and while we like the team. and they are obviously a final four contender, they are not some historically dominant team that is going to win big with how tough the conference is. Just enjoy the season and let Self work his magic.

I'll give the guys this much for sure - -not sur if you know what the letters stood for when Gene Smithson was at Wichita St -no I'm not a Wichita State fan far from it - -but love the phrase - - ( MTXE ) - -stood for Mental Toughness Extra Effort.. - -I think the guys have that- -never letting up just trudging along guttin it out. - -love that with this team - - I actually think these close games could be very beneficial down the line , and into the NCAA'S - -One big concern I have is that our starting 5 get wore down as the Season goes on having to play so many minutes. -that's why I keep saying we have just got to get something from the bench for sure down the line - -we can't continue to just get away with 6-7 we need 8 solid off the bench.- When we sub in our point production just vanishes big drop off.

Like you I am worried about Tuesday as K/State coming off a bad game - -KU being huge rival - -Their crap gym just bumpin -- not gonna take much for the kitties to get on a roll - -crucial foul trouble - we just can't keep playing with fire and fall behind like we been doing - it's gonna catch up with us sooner or later

@jayballer67 I agree that place will be rocking for their super bowl. Good game for Kevin to get out of his funk and Juan to take it personal with Nowell.

Not sure what @Jethro’s deal is he’s adding as much to the board as cardboard with these takes. Somehow it’s personal with the “yours not so much” as if you don’t 100% believe we will win every game you aren’t a true fan.

At least come with a breakdown of what you @Jethro think will happen not some three sentence snarky comment; so irritated as if you made fun of your golden child

There’s people who discuss basketball and then there’s @Jethro

Oh I'm not gonna take what Jethro says personal, if I'm miss reading his comment and it is personal - -then so be it. My thing is I try to be a realist too, not live behind Crimson & Blue shaded glasses 100 % daily. - -I've been here long enough and have known Jethro from here from the get go - -it's ok . Everyone is entitled to their opinion , doesn't mean we have to agree.

All I know we are not playing solid ball - to many turnovers - -3 pt shooting not that great -Jalen not hitting shots like he was earlier in the /Season - - no bench. If we want to get anywhere in the tourney - -we have got to have a bench of some kind.

The part if he is and not saying that but if that were the case that I'm not true fan - -I promise you I'm as true a KU fan as anyone here. - Matter of fact for one when I was younger if ANYONE use to talk shade about KU with me - -we would bout come to blows - - I hated it let my temper get in way of logic. -- If your not a true fan - -you sure the hell not gonna have KU tatoos- on your arm and Calf- -kinda hard to deny some says oh I see your tat you a fricken KU fan huh - -you say oh hell no can't stand them why you say that lol.

I've been following KU forever been a fan for a long , long time since around 1960. - remember listening to games on the radio before they were on TV all the time - -sit at the kitchen table and listen. Had paper and pen so I would keep track of the KU players how many points they score - -how many fouls - -how many TO's we had - -Rebounds we got - -every game - -I still do. - - I remember listening to the Game where JO JO hit the shot late in the game and they said his foot was out of bounds

I've been a fan since or before Pierre Russell - -JO JO White - - Danny Knight - -Walt Wesley , Aubrey Nash - -Roger Morningstar - -Bud Stalworth - -Dave Robisch,, Kelly Knight - -Nino Samuel - -Clint Normore - - Tom Kivisto - - Ronnie Kellogg- --- Calvin Pony Thompson - - Greg Dreiling to name just a few - -I remember use to going to KC for the Big 8 Christmas tournament in the old Municipal building - - I remember being in the hall and looking up and my 1st autograph or one of them looking up and thinking --Dam he is huge when I ask Roger Bonensthil spelt wrong sorry those were the days. - I remember being able to walk into Allen and pretty much picking your seat when we had down years with Coach Owens - -So really don't think anything about it when or if people think I'm not a true fan lmao. - It's ok - I just think we could be in real trouble Tuesday - -if they don't think that fail to acknowledge that - then that's on them. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Jethro bill will look at the tape and if his reasoning for that lineup was to take care of the ball hopefully he will see the did the opposite and gave up the lead in the first half

We keep eeking out these wins at home, I’m curious to see how we fair in legit road games. As Bill said of the 4-0 teams we by far have had the easiest schedule.

I hate to be the Debbie Downer on peoples parade I love Ku just sa much as the next guy but I'm saying right now I truly believe we get beat Tuesday Night.

Like you said we have been eeking out wins to many one possession ball games , I worry that the guys thinking they can just turn it on anytime they want. - -We are getting into a routine of falling behind and then have to bust our ass to get back in it.

I love the fight and grit of the team but I just don't feel we are playing solid enough steady enough and one of these times that kind of play is going to come back and bite us right square in the ass. I know some will disagree with what I say and that's fine- -people are entitled to do so, just one persons opinion I just think it is set up perfect Tuesday - K/State playing really poorly , coming back home playing their big enemy - -KU /Rival - -the place is going to be ROCKIN/JUMPIN - and if they get on any kind of roll- - - - -I could be just as easily wrong to - -just feeling the way w are playing right now - -not terrible BUT not the best y far either - I just feel w are prime to get beat.

Plus on down the road if we don't get some kind of production from the bench get that reliable 6th /7th man come tourney time we be screwed

I like our chances-yours, not so much. We'll see how you do when we lock up Nowell. Thanks for the concern, though.

you keep that positve thoughts there buddy -your not addressing how we are playing- what we gonna do when they lock down Dick ? - -Jalen is in a real shotting slump - -his % is continuing the downward spiral

One tiny problem though - -if Jalen continues shooting like he has these last 4 - 5 games - -they lock up Dick - -who's gonna provide enough scoring for us ? - - NOT KEVIN - that leaves Juan? - -If Jalen doesn't come out have a really solid game- - it looks bleak, - -we are just not playing that well and we not in the Phog - hope your right, and your welcome for the concern lmao

@COHawk essentially big 12 tourney is when he got his shot and delivered. He played more minutes than Juan and we beat tech.

It continued through the ncaa tourney and man it was fun.

We won’t have a 6th man this year. Was hoping it was Joe, not even close. Bobby’s just a dribbler and MJ might have been that guy but with injuries and what not it’s never taken off

Bigs I wish we’d give big Ern some run if he is showing anything in practice. A UConn, TN or Bama in the tourney or heck tcu/Tex/Baylor in conference play we need more length

I think MJ is gone at the end of the year. I wish he could of got more time to - -we have just GOT TO get Zuby or Udeh to give us SOMETHING by tourney time. we already seen what Tennessee did to us - -Alabama be the same way. Teams thats Tall and long athletic we gonna be in trouble

K-St is looking really salty right now. I bet that game is a 1 point line either way. Will not be surprised if by tip off K-St is favored by a couple points. I watched some of their game against Oklahoma St and Nowell was pulling up from 30 feet and making threes. That is pretty tough to defend against. That game will come down to how well Harris can defend Nowell and how well Kevin can defend Johnson. If you can contain those two guys then KU will win. I think it is going to be one hell of a game.

Or how well they can defend Wilson - - Dick - - McCullar - -goes both ways

@BeddieKU23 said in OU Game:

@drgnslayr

Not every team has that physical defensive style of play that OU was able to slow KU down with. That's been Moser's MO even at Loyola. I know I looked at the matchup and saw OU could position for position give us fits and that's what ended up happening. If KU makes half the 21 layups they missed how much does that change the game? OU got lucky they controlled the tempo and crowd early since KU couldn't piss in any ocean.

Iowa St does play physical defensively and we play them Saturday, however I think we're going to see a different team in 2 days. I wouldn't be surprised if we find a way to play to the level that beat Indiana handily. Would be nice to travel to Manhattan for the next battle after one of those feel good games.

we missed 21 layups - -of course some challenged - but like you said if we make half of those - -thats 20 points and we win double digit

On top of that , this game was soooo hard to ge any kind of continuity with this game - - any kind of flow, when you have whisltes every time down the floor.The referees wanted to have this game all about them

@jayballer67

We'll see, I think their depth is suspect as we go forward into conference play. They have 3 good starters and 2 average guys around them. Their bench is solid because they have 2 guys coming off the bench that were starters previously. Nothing spectacular but they get enough from those guys.

In this hot start in conference play they have been so reliant on scoring from Nowell & Johnson, both that at times have played at a level I don't think is sustainable. We'll see. They are good but I'm just not sold.

Agree - -not just yet. - going to be some interesting match ups in this game - -You think possibly they put Kevin on Johnson ? - -similar hghts aren't they ? - Juan on Nowell.

They have 3 good starters we have 3-4 pretty god starters. - our depth is suspect, - our bench of Bobby - - Joe - - MJ to a lesser degree ( we just haven't really gotten a good feel for him cause he is always hurt in one way or another ) & then our bigs - -kind of a hodge podge hee - -I guess you would have to say depends on the situation - so Clemence - Or Zuby - -so i think we offset there because there to I think we can gt just enough nothing special but I guess ok i guess -going to be interesting. - That place will be nuts - but we have vetrans that have been there before.

Another thing is I know sounds crazy but it just seems that this team doesn't gt rattled- - e get behind - we don't force/press just keep plugging along

We'll find out Tuesday.

They have two 1st team All Big-12 caliber players at PG and Wing. I'm stunned at the pieces around them playing at the level they have.

They have an inflated record from a weak non-conference slate, but they are going to be tough to beat. They match up well with us.

there is no questioned they are legit

@jayballer67 let’s see how tough we are and what this team is made of. I’d roll with the squad any night and they never quit or ever think they won’t win. Championship attitude spilled over to this season with jalen, Juan and kj.

I know it’s not looking good but book it Gradey is back next year playing the jwill or och role shooting 15 times a game.

ya were gonna find out real quick. I think maybe it's me just wearing my Crimson & Blue glasses but I think were gonna be ok.

I just think K/State is a little full of themselves a little to quick , YES they are doing really well and I know that place will be insane Tuesday - I just think their gonna be dealt reality - - not quite there yet. It might sound crazy but I'm not NEARLY concerned about our 5 as I was. KJ is just so athletic incredibly strong , can defend really well almost all 5 positions. I think yes KJ might be some liability on the defensive end, but he can cause problems on the other end too - -we shal see

Iowa State ?- -were gonna have to strap it up - they are really good defensively , this league is just a monster - -no gimme's

Watching TCu - -Texas last night and just thinking Dam this league is just a real meat grinder. TCU hda a 18 point lead - -they look pretty dam good even though they wasted their lead away - -they look aggressive/quick - -Texas showed mojo. - -Every time out gonna nbe a war

Interesting nobody wanting to give any input about whether they thought KSU was ranked to high - at # 11 this week. So going off that I guess your all in agreement that YES KSU is ranked correctly. Interesting , - I don't think they are I think should be more around the 15 - 17th in rankings. Yet I guess everyone thinks # 11 is right. - we shall see

State of the Roster 2023 • Jan 11, 2023 08:49 PM

Reading this off TOS. I just have to say this after reading some posts , I've come to the Conclusion that no matter what there are SOME people that your never going to be able to satisfy.

A couple of posters from there whining and complaining about the ranking of our foot ball class. Saying thinking we should be getting higher ranked players and such. Bottom line to this whole fiasco the just is that they are dissatisfied with how we are doing in recruiting - -Really ? - -get the hell out of here with that - -there are very specific seasons why they are ranked where we are ranked. - just got to think about it, and has been mentioned.

What people have to remember one reason is this is still a young team, our transitional rate /turnover has been really small- -graduation has been small - -so your classes you recruit are smaller , which hinders your rankings.

Second stop and think look at the stops where Coach has been at - -# let's see what was it - -Div III - Wisconsin White Water ? is that correct ? - - Buffalo - - Now KU. -- now for the first two places mentioned, it would be hard as hell to recruit top notch players to places like that - and for KU in the past - what better recruit would give KU the time of day because of your record - one of the worst if not the worst P-5 program. Your not gonna get good players come to a school with the history we had - but we are on the rise - getting better recruits.

Then lastly , Coach L so I have read and heard never really has had super recruiting classes - -but what Coach L does is goes out find the kid that he thinks will fit in decent players and he DEVELOPS THEM - -Coach knows how to develop.

Some people will NEVER be happy - you got to realize how Coach recruits - we will be fine - WAKE UP

Well - - we REALLY about to find out how big of set we got , the rest of January is just ridiculous . - have you taken a look at the remaining schedule for the month ? No ? -here it is:

We have # 14-- - Iowa State - - on Saturday - - -then we have # 11 - - Kansas State Tuesday - -then we have # 17 - - -TCU - - Then we have Baylor ( sure not what they have been but stil quality team ) - - Then we have Kentucky at Rupp ( let's not get to full of ourselves ) - -Then we finish the Month out with # 11 - -Kansas State again

Were not going to be able to come out and play and feel we can just turn it on at anytime- -got to come out focused the rest of the moth that's for sure
