On the KU broadcast they talking saying something must of happen to Kevin. - -Ran off the court and not even on the bench.- -
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in KU/Tennessee Game Thread:
Tennessee is a bad shooting team but we are also giving them wide open looks.
Honestly, the only thing that's really pissed me off is the officials putting Harris on the bench with bad calls. That was also probably a delay of game on Tennessee to end the half.
True and Very True - -Tennessee is only a 39 % Fg shooting team - -& a 29 % 3 pt % shooting team but like you say if we ever decided to guard might be different. - -17 turnovers and those kind of shooting numbers - - no excuses
@wissox said in KU/Tennessee Game Thread:
@jayballer67 you don't remember the 2nd half yesterday?
Lol , ya I do. - - hoping for not a repeat. - - 2nd half yesterday - -1st half tonight
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU/Tennessee Game Thread:
Played well on D again. That’ll be our calling card all year. Just need to get better at capitalizing.
Well that's about of as an ugly of a half that I've seen in awhile. So maybe now that's out of the way we can get this thing turned around. - - 8 - -28 not gonna win you many games. - -Tennessee is a 29.9 % three point shooting team so - -OF COURSE in the 1st half they shoot over 50 % from the three. - -go figure.
Tennessee 17 turnovers in the 1st half. I knew they were sloppy but 17 - -we need to take advantage of that
Geez we get into managable position and then this
Tenn sloppy with the ball yay
GRADY - - there you go bud
And of course a tteam that's only shooting 29 % from the three this year comes out and throws up anything and it goes in
Jamie Lucky calling some just incredible Bs calls
With that BS call on Juan , we gonna need some big minutes from Joe.
Holy Shit just God awful ball
Point blank - -this is not a 3rd ranked team in the Counttry
@BShark said in Other games:
@jayballer67 They are overrated in the polls like us. They are like...54th on KENPOM if you remove last year's data.
Ya I believe they are - -just not playing that great. - - -Grill for Iowa State burying the three's 5 tonight - -he can stroke the rock
Mercy Iowa State turning opponents at a 23 TO per game clip. - -Iowa St also up on N Carol right now , however Carolina ha yet to really imprss me this year for being the # 1 ranked team in the nation. - -They been struggling to win their games

Seeing Matt Rhule to Nebraska swirling around today.

@BeddieKU23 It certainly was a difference maker. All things being equal, Wisconsin wins that game if they were playing under last years rules.
So it was the refs that won the game for us? lol...
Noooooo , SURELY nobody was trying to say the Ref's influenced the outcome of the game . There isn't ANYTHING that would favor that type of thinking. - -Let's see For the game Wisconsin was called for 19 fouls- - ok KU was called for 18 fouls. - - -For the game Wisconsin was 12-19 from the line - - - Ku was 12-21 from the line - - So KU had TWO MORE ATTEMPTS - - two. - - Sook , let's look at this then - - for the game one way to look at it the Officals felt Wisconsin was guilty of making SIX turnovers - - Those same officials felt KU was guilty of THIRTEEN
So I know that there would be anyone here trying to say that the Officials influenced or cause Wisconsin the win
He wasn't saying that. I was ribbing him.
I'm not talking anyone specif - - just saying cause I've heard it and it's comical -- Winners just win
There is always a Duke player easy not to like - example tripper boy - Giminski - - - -- This year Roach is the player targeted lol
Always easy to root against Duke - -they just sooo soo, non likeable lol- -everyr year
I feel we play the way we are capable - -we win. - - better all the way across the board stat wise- - Tenn doesn't shoot the ball that well 39.9 % - shoots the 3 ball- -really bad 29.9 %.
Ku better on the boards right at 5 more per game- -Tenn turning the ball over more per game. - We play solid - WE WIN

I know this even though we won we better find some other people that can play and score other then our starting four. - -Yesufu needs to sit. - -he is terrible. Zach can understand a little lots of rust , WE need MJ to produce - -but you can't produce if you can't get on the floor - We need Bobby more , gonna take time for Udeh - -& Zuby and I do believe on down the road this year they will be better.
They were talking the thing today was they didn't see the floor was match up -just bad match ups - -GOT to get more point production , you saw today get a guard on Brady - lock him don - -KJ no threat - -then you have -- 3 on 5 - - therre is no way Jalen can be the man every game. Thank GOD Kevin stayed with it , can't expect that many from him every game just not that type of guy.
@kuballin10 said in 10am Start, Thurs WISCONSIN:
@jayballer67 we’ve had this our last 4 games. It is who we are not some anomaly
Again Good times find a way to win - -separates good from average
@stoptheflop said in 10am Start, Thurs WISCONSIN:
Weird, both teams ended the game 24/62, 38.7% from the field. I guess that's why it was such a close game. Really disappointed with our guys. But, we got the W (sure doesn't fell like a win, thought).
Even good teams have days like these. The thing is good teams find a way to win - ugly sure, but we will take the win and move on
Some how we STILL have the Nations longest winning streak lol
OMG , OMG BOBBY- - NO YOU DIDN'T - - -BOBBY , BOBBY
Tired Five - -that's all we can trust to play - we have to get some others to produce
@BeddieKU23 said in 10am Start, Thurs WISCONSIN:
Big pass by zach
Better save from his almost airball shot
tHERE IS NO WAY WE SHOULD BE IN THIS POSITION, BUT WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE 4 PLAYERS THAT CAN GET ANY POINTS IN A GME FOR YOU - -OYU IN BIG TIME TORUBLE
Houston we have a PROBLEM
Just Huge Kevin
This is going to be a very familer scene if we can't find somebody beside Jalen if Grady vanishes - we have just got to get somebody that can score
@DanR said in 10am Start, Thurs WISCONSIN:
You can see Joe's frustration, but it's just making him play worse
So if that's what it's doing then sit his ass down
Someone PLEASE tell my the hell these guys are doing ? - -cause it looks like one big Cluster F - - - to me
Boy we looking good now huh ?- -- sloppy , sloppy , sloppy
Law of averages - - shots have got to start falling sometime right ?
what an ugly , ugly game playing right into Wisc hands - that's the way they play every time UGLY
@BShark said in 10am Start, Thurs WISCONSIN:
@dylans Could have went after someone in the portal but it feels like they thought/were hoping Zach would be the guy.
The way it's playing out it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Zach hit the portal
Gonna have to strap it on today. Gonna have to take good shots, Wisconsin has held all 4 of it's opponents under 60 this year - - & holding opponents to 11 % from the three. - -I think they said opponents like 7 - -62 shooting the three against them
Got to play D for the entire clock cause they gonna play like they in mud--ROCK CHALK FELLA's
Just wanted to jump on here before the game today 10 O'Clock geez lol. Anyways wanting to wish all my fellow KU friends a HAPPY THANKSGIVING and enjoy all the yummies Turkey or whatever it is , just enjoy your day enjoy family but more importantly - -see you on the other side , be safe everyone watch out for the idiots on the roads if you travel - we need you to help pull for the Hawks. Have a GREAT DAY. - -ROCK CHALK MY FRIENDS
Well was reading this this morning that was put out by Wisconsin media.- -Talking about FIVE crazy things that stuck out from their game yesterday , so thought I would share what they said :
Some of the things mentioned , stats : -- Wisconsin only had a total of 7 assists yesterday - - - They went 6 --27 from the three yesterday . - -Wisconsin only shot 23.7 from the field for the game yesterday and won.
the two teams shot 10 - -54 from the three yesterday. - -Dayton had more turnovers ( 17 ) then fg's ( 16 ) for the game . - -Wisconsin was 1 - -17 in their last fg's . , and Wisconsin didn't score in the final three minutes and seventeen seconds and still won.
Wisconsin picked Connor E . as their player of the game. His stats for the game ? - - -13 points - - -3 - -16 from the field - - & 2 -4 from the three. -What a game mercy
Boy what a loaded tourney -gonna be an absolute war. - Maui officials saying could be their strongest field ever.
Gonzaga , Marquette , Purdue , Syracuse , Tennessee , UCLA , Chaminade , & KU
notes of interest backing the toughest field ever : -The field has had 253 NCAA Tourney Appearances - -- 44 Final four Appearances - - 17 NCAA Tournament Titles - - 3 AP Coach of the Year - - 7 of of the 2023 teams are ranked in the top 46 all time winningest Schools. I would say thats a pretty impressive field
The one glaring thing right now is - -in order for us to REALLY be a big big challenge is - - we just have to get some production from the Bench - -today we got 4 points - -that's not going to get it all year , I know MJ gonna help BUT dam he has to get on the floor to be able to do tha - -I just don't see why he couldn't play today , I know he had kidney stones but dam that was Saturday - -no reason that should of kept him off the floor tody - -easy easy procedure to take care of with little after effects. - Plus where was Clemance today ? - -Still hurting from the nose ? - -Maybe more to that then that, I can see him transferring out soon actually
@BeddieKU23 said in Other games:
Fun Creighton Arizona game so far. Both legit teams
Your correct buddy - - - -Very Legit teams one or the other I could see making a deep deep run in the tourney even possibly winnning. - -I really like the way Creighton plays looks
@FarmerJayhawk said in Anyone concerned about losing Leipold to Nebraska?:
@jayballer67 Intel had been leaning that way for a few days. Glad it’s all true!
you and me both guy - -glad to put that to rest and our players can count on continuity - -glad to have Coach L as our Coach- -nothing but class.
Mama says LANCE - - NOPE we stayin put LOL
Don't know if it's been mentioned but Grady Dick has scored 92 points in his first five game-- - that's the most by a KU freshman in the last 25 years
Also - -dam - we have to play at 10:00 a.m. CST tomorrow - - MERCY
Boy Creighton & Arizona both look really tough
You know what guys & listening to Jimmy Dykes & Seth Greenberg and have to agree both of them really like KU- they saying they think KU is going to be fine. - Have to agree I think we are going to be fine and a challenge as the year goes on,
As the year goes on as our young big's develop if we can get anything from them at all if we can say get our 5 to say get us even 8-10 points a game grab some rebounds were gonna be dangerous. - Like they said KU has a group of athletic 5-6 - 6'7 -6'8 guys that cause matchup problems , we have a pretty dam good point guard. I like em guys-- were gonna have some close games everyone does - -give our big's a little time to develop some let the game so down for them adjust to the speed of the game , Bill does a really good job developing these guys
Well looks like it's solid. - -ESPN has the story , & just came across local WIBW here in Topeka that Lance and KU had come to agreement - -Yes is a awesome day in Lawrence and KU fans alike. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
