@BeddieKU23 Would we ever think about taking a former player - bringing back here? - I don't know just asking. - Say Danny - - or Turgeon? - would we ever consider taking that risk? - - - I think Danny might be able to do ok here - -not sure about Mark strong KU ties - -just asking - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Basketball related question here guys -- just curious - -let's play out this scenario. - -If and when coach Self said to call it quits or move on. - -Who would take this.

Would you be willing to take Bennett from Virginia to be the next Coach at KU? - -Me - - myself - -NOPE - -I can't stand his style of play. - -Ya he wins - -he wins a lot - but that has to be the most boring style of ball to watch for an entire season - I don't think I could do it - -what about you if the scenario came up? - -could you do it? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Would you want Bennett from Vigginia to be the next Coach oh KU

@dylans - -- ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. - - don't be giving my secret away lmao - -I keep them tucked away - when I watch the boys - -they not doing so good then it's like - - ewwwwww, - -man my leg is killing me - -time for HAPPY PILLS lmao - -the rest of the game is MUCH MUCH better lol

JUMPIN - - - GEE - -HOSSA - -FATS - -DEVONTE - - -you be the man . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo lol thanks - -surgery went well - got MORE HAPPY PILLS lol - - doc putting a brace on it - -says leg is still kind of loose - which that's not good news but it is what it is - -probably that knee replacement coming - just not NOW lol

@chriz if it comes down to where we make it through and possible match up with Duke -- Bagley & Carter going to be a bad match up. - - For sure Devonte going to have substantial advantage over Duval - Newman on Tripper Boy?

@mayjay Surely Baylor got invited to the NIT didn't they? - -I don't care how much of a hater some are - they at least deserved to play there. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok guys - -just a side note - - got to run - -time for surgery - -wish me luck - -I SHALL RETURN lol - - no biggie just some surgery on my knee - -AGAIN third time on this knee - -but hey - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks YA Sutherlands used to be there on 21st right by the stock yards. - Stunk really bad - -we could see when we were in the yard see them driving the pigs and cows down the lane for slaughter. - They would boil the hides stink really bad. - We had a foreman that we worked with and every day he would go up in the loft in one of the sheds and SLEEP in the insulation - -take a nap and sleep his hangover off lmao

@truehawk93 YA almost directly across from Wichita East. - -That was when I was working for Sutherlands Lumber on 21st - - then I went to work for Allen Electric - right down the street from where the Police officer got shot in the head while sittin in his car.

Hell the electrical warehouse that I worked at still had holes in their concrete they used for shotgun ports during the riots that went on - -right don the block from loafers lounge -- not good lol. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@truehawk93 Lmao - - -yes they were. - Thing is if they would have followed through - -you wouldn't of seen me trying to stop them lol.

Another thing about Wichita - -or it was when I was there - -one thing you didn't want to happen was being arrested by the Wichita Police. - They had several complaints about Police brutality and just overall bad seen with the police there. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@truehawk93 Very true about Wichita State being in a very bad part of Wichita. - -Hell I used to work at a convienence store right south of there on Hillside. - Hell guys came in there and would ask hey what car is yours we want to break in and steal it lol -- WTF?

I used to live right after I got out of High School and moved there I liver down my McConnell AFB - -off Oliver - an apartment complex called Battin apts - -wasn't to bad - - - Then moved in with my 2nd wife and she lived in a little duplex almost cadi corner from Wichita East lol - in a alley right behind Douglas-- - - oh ya real nice lol.

Then I lived off 31st and South Meriden - in some apartments - -pretty nice - -But I loved living in Wichita - -lived there for 13 years - -a lot better then living here in Topeka - -but hey it is
what it is lol

@blackmild33 ya that will cost you - - good to know Coach Self isn't letting the guys do that. - - With him already saying that this team has the least amount of room for error. - -we better not be looking past anybody.

I think they shafted Penn by putting them as a 16 seed. - I think they are more along the lines of a 13. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Can anyone tell me or does anyone know how the brackets set up for the NCAA tourney? - what I mean is it - - The South vs the East in the final four and the West vs the Midwest ? - is that the set up? anyone know - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark - -I still will say Vick and Malik are both gone. - -Already stated WHY I think that but I just don't see Malik coming back whether he is drafted or not. - he either is drafted or undrafted he goes over sea's and starts to make money. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks It was just a matter of time for their freshmen. - - Their talent was always there - just needed to adapt to the College Game. - Like always they are going to be a tough out. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Can you imagine when Silvio starts to feel comfortable enough to try more to defend the rim - -become more of a shot blocker? - - -HOLY CRAP - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mercy - -poor Devonte has been battling a little sickness and had hardly nothing in the 1st half - then - - -BAM -- he finishes with 18points and are you ready - -13 assists - and only 2 turnovers. - -anyone wonder why he is Big 12 player of the year. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks I couldn't agree more. - -I love Mitch - he gives his heart every time out - -BUT I think it is clear - - very clear that Silvio is for sure the back up to Doke. - -my GOD all this does is other teams in the tourney are just going to HAVE to respect our inside game. - -Who says we don't have a inside game lol.

Can you imagine if Doke comes back which I believe he will, can you imagine NEXT year. -- Dedric - - -Doke -- -Silvio - -& McCormack - & Mitch if he doesn't red shirt? - -going to be insane. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I can. - -It - - Is Silvio De Sousa. - -All I can say is HOLY CRAP.. I love Mitch Lightfoot I really do - -BUT I think we have just found the 1st backup to Doke , and to imagine this kid is just starting to scratch the surface.

There is no doubt he can be a double double Machine - - Mercy. - - All this does is - just show teams that play us is going to have to respect our inside game between him and Doke - -which in turn you see what that does for the perimeter game. - -JUMPIN - -GEE - -HOSSIE - - TOADS.

You know coming into the tourney Coach said that we were going to have to have Mitch and Silvio pick it up - and pick it up they did - -there really was.no drop off during this tourney. Mercy that gives me hope. -- -We play like this - I'm telling ya I think we play with ANYBODY this year -- again - - ANYBODY - - -Awsome Silvio, to think this kid should still be in High School - -man he has come alive. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I don't know but for me , I personally feel better about this match up then us against Texas tech. -- Why? - - well mainly if you know West Virginia at all - - -and watched or have seen them this year - -West Virginia goes through stretches and at times long stretches really struggling to score. - Plus a lot of the time their offense consists of Javon Carter dribbling at the top of the key for like 30 seconds of the 35 clock and then trying to force in the lane only to end up throwing it out and then they throw up some jock shot - the big reason they stick close in times like these is because of their rebounding - they put it up on the glass and then just go get it and make a play.

Texas Tech I feel actually is more athletic - -West Virgina's press really hasn't cost us a lot this season - -we have done pretty decent against it. - Plus over all I feel we match better against WV then Texas Tech - they have a mis match tonight with Konate but I feel we match up beter with them - -we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo Agree. - - The only thing soft about Mitch is he needs time with Hudy. - No one comes close to him in drawing Charges as much as Mitch does. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG

@BShark Ya. - -you can just see it in Silvio can't ya? - - The kid looks like for sure in time he is going to be a true beast on the boards. - - He said he likes to jump lol - -well jump away my man - - jump away.

One thing is I'd sure like to see him challenge shots a little more when guys drive to the rim. - - I think THAT is just a matter of confidence in himself right now at this point - - possibly afraid of fouling, - I think in time he becomes a very legit rim protecter too. - I think I'm going like this kid lol - -ALOT. - I know this the guy is already a specimen - I mean he is BUILT. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 Well , that sounds at least some what encouraging doesn't it? - -hoping for the best. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark - - NO LMAO. - - -no way -- are you serious? lol - - no now in all seriousness I would of never guessed that. - -Well that's a lot better then I thought. - I was thinking more in the lines of bordering 100. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

kjayhawks said:

The plot thickens, OSU lost, Texas lost, ND lost and Middle Tennessee loses, which will give conference USA 2 teams instead of one. OU lost early yesterday and Baylor is in a must win shortly against WV. Looks like OU, OSU, Texas and Baylor are all on the bubble, it will be interesting to see who gets in because they all finished the B12 8-10 and have similar records, ratings.

Never thought I'd be saying this - -BUT - - - I actually thought Baylor was the safest of them all -- lmao - -guess that goes to show what I know. - -from what I hear now sounds like Baylor is OUT - -I think Okie State is in the Crapper and I think it's 50/50 on Oklahoma. - -Then the team I thought that had the least chance of making it in - -Texas - -looks like they MAY just sneak in. - - -I think we end up with 7 teams in - - -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Whoaaaaaaa, hold up now bud , like I said in another of your posts - -I for sure agree they are good - -but ummm hang 100? ummm I don't think sooo. - I think it would be a pretty open game high score but I don't think anyone is hanging 100 on KU no matter our defense - -just not happening

@BShark Thank you man. - - -Now I am not sure if they would win it - - BUT I too have seen enough of them that I know that they would sure give teams a run for their money here in the Big 12.

I'm gonna give credit where credit is due - -doesn't mean we have to like them -- -I can't stand them - but I'm not gonna bull shit and say they suck - far from it - -their pretty solid. - - - Some here wouldn't say that if their life depended on it - -their Crimson and Blue blinders are getting in the way. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE Your right they are a good team. - -I've seen them enough that I understand that their pretty tough - they have beaten enough quality teams over these past years that I know that they are not a fluke.

Would they win the big 12? - - Probably not. - -Would they be in the running just like these other teams that is in the league now like WV - - -Texas Tech? - - I believe they would. - - I just think that there are some here that no matter how good they were would just refuse to acknowledge that they are for real.

Now do I like them? - - OH HELL NO - - I can't stand Marshal - -I think he is a arrogant shit. - -but he does get his guys to play hard, and they produce - - - It's just that some don't want to give credit where credit is due. - - Some think that unless it's KU - -our boys that then any other team can't be any good. -- -There are a lot of teams that are good - -some are better for sure believe it or not.

I agree with what you say - I think WSU probably would end up in the top 3-4 of the league and if things just fell their way - then ya they actually might challenge for the title. - -Thing is we will see after this year what Marsha is going to do -- they are losing ALOT we will see how he handles next year. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 And what's our ranking on Defense?

I just watched the scenario guys and I think MAYBE we are being a little to hard on Tripper Boy.

What I'm seeing out of this whole thing is I think possibly Grayson kind of likes the North Carolina guy and this was his way of trying to be secretive and wanted to send a message to the guy and to see if they could ummmm -- -well - - - ummm - - well - - - ummm ya possibly get together after the game - - maybe HANG OUT - -spend some quality time together - get to know one another better - - Ol Grayson just trying to make friends roflmao

Might be some kind of code to let the guy know that ummm - -well ummm - -Gracie is interested - -I mean after all he did give him " THE BUMP WITH THE RUMP " - come on guys Gracie just looking for that SPECIAL someone lmao. - I mean JUMPIN - - - GEE - - -HOSSIE - - -TOADS . - - - ROCK CHALK ALLDAY LONG BABY

All I'm going to say about this game tonight is - -we play like this tomorrow night -- we will get run out of the gym PERIOD. -- Devonte has had two so - -so games 6 turnovers Thursday Night-and then a lot of tonight just looked ehhhh.

It's good Malik has had a really good tourney - -SVI decent - -Hopefully Devonte will come out solid tomorrow. - -Like Coach has said the margain for error with this team is so slim and after Brown went down I think we just kind of went into cruise control and just went through the motions for the most of the game - - - Just got to do better and Soon. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 I'm not concerned one bit about him. -If he shows big against us like he did yesterday I'd be shocked - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

There was someone who stated that K-State losing Wade was like KU losing Doke.

The host said - - -umm NO it's not and I agree. - -With K-State and Wade their losing their best player-- losing 20 points a game. - - With Ku - -even though a big loss - Doke isn't even KU's best player - -DeVonte Graham is - -thought he made a very good point. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 - - - I'm RUNNING OUT LOL. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Sexton is insane - - -31 points today against Auburn - - 7 rebounds - -just flat took over the game . - -Don't know if you watched but there was one play where fast break Sexton comes down does a wrap around and lob to a team mate for the flush. - -- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Now Offical - --DEAN WADE IS OUT for tonight - saying precautionary - Wade is now out. - - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok have had so many all over Trae Young - -that's cool - - really good., - -so you go ahead and take Trae

Me? - -glad you asked - -I think I'll ride with Colin Sexton any day - -any week - -any year. -- love his game. - - Can't say Trae has lead his team to a better record - - Oklahoma is like 19-14 right? - - Alabama is 18-14 - -- - -both teams like 8-10 in the conferences. Sexton much much quicker - - -- just tearing Auburn up today -- I just like Sexton much more all around - -You can have Trae - -I'll take Sexton - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I did some trolling on their boards - - -Imagine that lol. - -Anyways talk of that the foot he had trouble with before that the pin that is in the foot is inflamed again. - -I heard that and then also heard about stress fracture in the foot .

For me = - -I don't care really he is a good player but doesn't put the fear of GOD into me - - if he plays he plays - if not then so be it - -either way were gonna be ok.

@BShark AND - - there it is. - -I feel much better about the game tonight now. - -You have just secured our win lol - -Thanks buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 LOL - - Whaaaaa? - -do we have a patient in need of ummm some happy pills ? lol = = = =ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 I agree with you. - - I am just not getting where people think he might be coming back. - I really think like you do - -I have thought this for some time - -even if he is undrafted I think he goes over sea's and makes money there. - I just do not see him coming back in any scenario. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Somebody refresh my memory. - -When is the McDonalds All Star Game again? - - The reason I ask is that Romeo had mentioned that he might possibly announce where he was going to College at that time.

I personally like someone else here mentioned - -I think if he announces then - -that doesn't fare well for us because he won't know what Vick or anyone else that is presently here is going to do - -we shall see. - -So when is the game? - -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well guys , here we go going to be yet another challenge without Doke. - - I think we will be ok as, K-State like was brought out by our commentators K-State doesn't really have a true inside 5 legit threat - -I mean one that can really do damage or a lot anyways - should be ok with Mitch and Silvio for day 2.

Wade doesn't really play inside ALOT- - some but he really is not a 5. - -Gonna have to contain Stokes and Brown make sure they don't go ballistic - - -Wade will get his, should be a good day for us -hopefully.

Oh a little side note from yesterday had to laugh at Devonte from an interview. - -he said:

They were interviewing Devonte and about Sosinski coming in the game the 1st half Devonte said about Mitch : Ya when Numbnuts there decides to foul lmao-- - Numbnuts? - - -thought that was funny as hell.

Then J Sosinski says talking about the end of the 1st half James says: Ya I thoughtI was going to get the rebound and then SVI got it - -he says I just kind of let him shoot it that's his go to - -kind of a baad situation lol - - umm no - -you didn't let SVI have it James - - - -SVI TOOK IT kmao -- no LETTING him have it period. --

Devonte says uh NO that was a good luck situation , no telling what James would of done with it lmao - -cracks me up - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Actually I really feel Okie State - -deserves to be in the NCAA more then Oklahoma at this point - -anyways that's how I feel. -- With the way they finished the season - -& the way Okie State finished - - but who knows - -I'm afraid with our beating them today - -probably knocked them out - -but hey don't get me wrong all I know is we don't have to worry about making the tourney that's all I'm really concerned about.

@Crimsonorblue22 - -LOL - - yes still happy - -for probably just a little bit more lol. starting to wear off lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark - - LMAO, ummm remember what I said today about you being a party pooper - -Well SUZ-ZAMM double party pooper lol. - -Hey if you saying that is what it takes for us to win - -then please do my friend lol - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

When Okie State went on that 1st half run - -I think they said it was a 16-2 - -went up by 10 - -I thought - -WELP here we go - - AGAIN - -then I went and took my happy pills because the pain in my back was pretty stiff - -took my happy pills - -or otherwise known as Hydrocodone - - lol - -after they kicked in - -and BAM the game became a lot easier to watch lmao. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya have to love that - - -they said wondered how it would mess with their team chemistry. - -oooops. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well the guys were talking before the game what we needed out of DeSousa & Lightfoot with Doke out - -they were saying if we could get like 12 & 12 - - 12 points and 12 rebounds between them then would be ok for that position - -well check.. - -Nothing spectacular but solid.

Where is our boy that said Coach Self Can't beat Oklahoma State and needs to adjust - - HOLLA at me -let me hear ya now lmao.

Like they said maybe in a way having Doke out for the Big 12 tourney - -might be a bonus for us come time for the NCAA give De Sousa playing time

Malik stepped up - -again they were talking about either Vick or Newman with Doke needed to step up -- Step up he did - -we gonna need the same thing tomorrow too - -Cinch it up boys. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
