@stoptheflop said in Weird Tip Time Game Thread:

Really hoping our guys play their normal tough defense,attack the rim on offense and find a way to ignore any antics by the KState fans. I hope CBS decides not to emphansize the earlier hostilities by showing the altercation over and over and then showing whatever is going on with the fans. KState is lucky to be playing KU because it gets them on network television. KState as a team needs to find a way to compete so it doesn't waste the benefits of being seen by a larger audience. This will be interesting and I hope our guys get a decent lead early and keep the lead throughout.

Big key today is to really value our possessions. K-State is going to slow this dam thing to a slow crawl. Even though w are at a slower rate we still WAY faster pace. Every possession going to be big , they going t run the clock down on every possession, we have to play the full possession on defense.

The talent level between these two teams right now is crazy, K-State fans even say as much themselves, they have no chance against us if they try playing a faster more possession game.

You can take it to the bank they going to attack , attack , attack make the official make a call - - which they will to try and keep the game in control. It would not surprise me is Doke wasn't in foul trouble very early in this whether these are legit calls or not will be total BS calls but watch.

In the end I think we still win , but the officials will make this a lot closer game then it should be, multiple players good chance of foul problems gonna be a very choppy game - - stop and go I think , no flow AT ALL. - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

I miss the good ole days of the streak. No not the nationally adored conference win streak. I mean the no losses in Brambledge coliseum streak. The no losses in Manhattan from 83-07 streak was fun to rub in the mild cats faces when they got too rowdy back in the day.

You mean in Allen Field House West right ? lol we OWNED that Barn

Was watching ESPN this morning at 8:00 and the blip scrolling across the bottom of the screen was all about how they were bolstering more police for the game - - -a large police presence.

I've been saying this , this week the game is just like a smoldering burning brush pile, don't like it ,don't like it at all. This thing could get ugly , it could get really ugly really quick. Sure maybe not the players. OR maybe it could. I know it might be pretty hard not to , if a player think there is ANY what they perceive as a cheap shot. - -You know K-State players are going to be playing out of there minds really aggressive just trying to bait the officials, they gonna bitch at every foul called that will in turn just incense these idiot fans of their's that much more.

This is a game whee I could see ALOT of players in foul trouble as the ref's are gonna be blowing whistles every time you turn around trying to keep things under control. I'm seriously concerned about one of our Players getting hurt by some bull shit action of a K-State player or fan/fans

Am I over reacting? - -I think not , these are legit reasons,/concerns. Ya they better have police control with these idiots. The School/Big12 officials obviously are taking pro cautions for the reasons I mentioned.- -I can just see turning ugly if their not careful. - -and people that are saying oh I want a rowdy crown your just throwing fuel on the fire not very smart thinking. Let's get this dam thing over with and get the hell out. - -You sit back and watch how things play out when McCormack steps on the court. If there is things that can be thorn - this would be the time anything that could be thrown at a kid - - Watch ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@justanotherfan said in My NCAA Prediction . . .:

This tournament is going to be interesting. All of the good teams are flawed in some way. But all of them can be outright dominant in some way as well. I'd put the tiers this way:

Tier One: Kansas, Baylor, Dayton, Gonzaga

Tier Two: Duke, Louisville, San Diego State, Florida State, Kentucky, Maryland, Villanova

Tier Three: Creighton, Seton Hall, Auburn, Penn State, Oregon, BYU, Iowa, Michigan, West Virginia, Colorado, Texas Tech, Ohio State

Tier Four: Michigan State, Houston, Arizona, Butler, Virginia, Florida, Marquette, Arizona, Illinois, Utah State, New Mexico State, Stephen F. Austin and probably a half dozen or so other mid major teams.

So the tiers give us a pretty good layout. It's likely that any team from Tier Three can beat any team from Tier Two, but probably not from Tier One unless they play perfectly. Any team from Tier Two can beat any team from Tier One, but obviously could lose to the Threes or the other Twos. The Fours probably can't beat the Ones, but could beat the Twos on the right day, and could beat the Threes. But the Fours could also lose to basically anyone else at any time.

This tournament could be really unpredictable, because I am not sure that any team doesn't have at least seven or eight teams that can beat them on any given day. We worry about Dayton, Duke, and Kentucky, but Louisville and Maryland could be a problem, and on the right day, I'd worry about Seton Hall or Auburn. And that doesn't count San Diego State, Baylor, Gonzaga and others.

And the thing is, that's the case for literally every single team out there.

Couldn't agree more and plus there is one other team that I would shy away from till later anyways. I watched them beat Gonzaga and that is BYU. - They shoot 43 % from the three and we know how that goes from previous NCAA"s - -al la Villanova Not saying that I would run scared but like you mentioned on any given night. - -we played them early but they was missing one of their key players in that game , he went off for 28-10 on Gonzaga.

I have never seen a year so wide open as this year - -I can think of 7 teams right off without any hesitation that could win the thing this year. KU ,Kentucky , Duke , Gonzaga , Dayton , Louisville , Baylor -- just a crap shoot. Trying to fill our brackets this year is going to be nuts lol. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Marco Houston is the South, Indy Midwest. I am pulling for Indy as it opens up the possibility of travelling to a game there for me and lots of Chicago alums/fans.

To me really not worth input seeing as how I'm not going to be able to go wherever it is. However they were talking about this on our sports program today and it was brought out might be better in Houston for the reason of easy access with flights , multiple , multiple flights going in there as where Indy there is like 2 they said. - However they did turn around and say people could always fly into Chicago and really not that bad a drive from Chicago to Indy soo I don't know lol

Indy is about an 8 hour drive from Lawrence and Houston about an 11-12 hour drive from Houston. I don't know about the proximity of the airport in Indy to their arena, but in Houston, unless you're flying Southwest into the smaller airport, it's not convenient at all to get from our big airport to downtown where Toyota Center is.

Selfishly, I'd rather have KU in Houston so I could go see them in S16 and E8 games, but with Baylor being a pretty strong lock for a 1 seed as well, there's no way in hell KU gets the 1 seed in Houston. KU is going to be the 1 seed in Indy, Baylor in Houston, and Gonzaga in LA, and whoever gets the 4th 1 seed will be in New York.

Well from what I heard the # 1 overall seed gets to pick what region they want. - So if KU ends up being the # overall they can pick the South and the Houston region instead of Indy, that's what they were saying anyways. - -Like I said it's not going to matter to me cause I can't go wherever but just sayin

@Marco said in My NCAA Prediction . . .:

Question. Who could be a very tough 2 seed?

they were talking either region your going to have to face tough teams. It could either be Dayton in the Midwest OR they could always move Florida State to the South. Either way gonna be a tough opponent, but not worrying overly either about being able to play with either one. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I am just NOT getting a good feel for this game tomorrow with k-Straight and their idiot fans - there is a couple here that don't think it is a big deal , cool that's one opinion and your entitled, BUTI fully think that this thing could get ugly in so many ways.

I'm sure that Coach Weber & Coach Self have Both made it perfectly clear to the players to act responsible, that they are representing the University I'm not concerned about the players themselves. - -It's the moron K-state fans that has me concerned , this is a smoldering brush pile at least as far as these K-State fans go. - -ANYTHING - - the least LITTLE THING could get these idiots out of control. - -They we have to play their. - - little 85 yr old song - -what's it called again? , where they all get to bouncing around like a wild batch of bunny rabbits in heat? - -ya that one.

Ok , now let me say I'm a big as Marsha hater as the next guy, but I've got a question. - -Was watching them against Temple. - -Wichita State is now 21-7 on the year and yet they all talking about how Wichita State can not lose about they are squarely on the bubble and just can not afford to lose.

So how can a team be 21-7 now and one of the last 4 in. I know there has to be a logical explanation , especially with College Basketball being down across the board this season and 21-7 and your squarely on the bubble ?

Guys, I'm not looking forward to this weekend really. We have everything possible going against us Saturday # 1 were Suppose to be a rival - - but in order for it to be a real rival , one team has to beat the other more then once in a blue moon- - # 2 They have had a crappy season - - # 3 We had our little Royal Rumble at the Phog when we played earlier this Season- - # 4 - -Were Ranked # 1 in the Nation - - # 5 Their idiot fans and that hole is gonna be jacked beyond reason , we think LAST year was loud and rowdy? - - probably twice that this year. - - # 6 - -this whole scenario is like a smoking powder keg , and what they perceive as anything rough from KU - -just gonna add up. EVERYTHING that could go wrong against us for this game is right there.

The only thing is , The talent difference is SO one sided - - Huge Gap between the two. We just literally need to gout in a business type approach and take control from the get go. -- kick them right square in the , you know where and just take it. Then go home, let them know that they just got their as beat like a drum - - -that's what I'm hoping for anyways. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay said in My NCAA Prediction . . .:

Before it begins in 3 weeks, we could well see cancellation of the whole tournament. The Coronavirus isn't going away soon, and it has taken less than a month to go from a regional epidemic causing a few travel bans to parts of China, to a major international emergency that is closing some borders, disrupting businesses, creating havoc in the stock market (over 10% down in a week), and roiling travel arrangements throughout the world. Millions in quarantine in China, thousands in Europe with parts of Italy completely closed off, and it has now spread to Brazil during Carnival and to at least 1 airline flight attendant who served hundreds before having symptoms.

I cannot see how it will play out, but so far 3 countries including Japan have closed all schools and the CDC says we need to start preparing here ("a matter of when, not if, it spreads to the US").

Now we also have it spreading to at least 1 person in California and 1 in Germany for whom no known contact with anyone positive can be traced. With test kits only available in 3 states for now, it is going to get very very strange out there.

It is not as fatal as some other diseases, but this one is pretty unique because people can be infectious before having symptoms. That is why these shutdowns are occurring on such a large scale. I can only imagine how the CDC will react to thousands of basketball fans fanning out across the country if we see very many more cases of spreading without identified vectors.

You just never know. You got the leaders telling us one thing , saying they have this under control , and the cases are going down - -then you have the CDC telling us different. I know this , we were at 14 , then 15 and then I heard of now 60 confirmed infections here in the US What's crazy is like in San Francisco with the ladies case they having a run on masks , BUT the dam CDC advising people NOT to be buying the masks because the medical personel need the mask when working with the infected people - -umm you could dam well bet I would be buying mine , they say there are none on shelves now.

I heard the virus is now spread to 50 Countries, The US and South Korea have called a halt to the joint manauvers . - The sports teams the Japanese Pro baseball teams are now playing their games in empty stadiums it could very well prove very interesting

Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is? • Feb 27, 2020 03:47 PM

Don't really think this has as much to do with being Cable - -this game being on CBS, and Networks like that don't normally run Basketball in prime time. They're games on the weekends during the regular season is usually ALL day time games , even Sunday games are during the day.

Reading from Evan Daniels on Kendall Brown says : That Kendall going to take official visit to Ohio State this weekend, who has been aggressively recruiting him.

He has taken a recent trip to Marquette. - - -Virginia & Maryland and some others also involved. To early to handicap a leader but that Kendall seems to be stat taking things more seriously.

Evan also had another player he talked about , which Ku was involved with he is the #6 player Michael Foster. Evan says : - -there had been some talk about Foster re-classifying , but his mentor Chiante Clay says as of today that's very unlikely.

Foster was taking an un-official today to Marquette - - - -Oregon , KU & Illinois actively trying to get him on Campus for visits.

Mercy , this dam Corona Virus is getting serious, now pushing around 3,000 confirmed deaths, and like 78,ooo confirmed with the virus ?

San Francisco has declared a state of emergency, even though as of yet no confirmed case , NOW I guess there is concern because reported there was a South Korea flight attendant that has the virus that had made several connections out of LAX.

They were talking last night the ( COC ) was talking that it's not a matter IF we have major issues in the United States it's WHEN. - -senator was asking individual if we had enough masks?- -his response was for homeland security yes - - the Senator says No for all of us - -he said no - -that we have like 30 million and we would need 300 million

They said they had been told just confirmed that there is a Confirmed 15th case here in United States , and then they Highlighted a map of United States and states with cases - and one of the States was in NEBRASKA that's to dam close for this guy.

The saad part of it is the dam incubation time span on this thing is 10-14 days - - -that means people can be walking around with this for 2 weeks and no even know they have it and could be spreading it. - This is spreading all over Europe. -- Italy had an increase of this Virus by 50 % in ONE DAY from the day before. - -they best get busy on this dam thing

I mean they get beat by an unranked NC State team not only get beat but spanked by an Unranked NC State team by 22 points , and the media darlings/ESPN darlings ?

I don't know if it was mentioned here before, but WSU yelled fu, KU during one of their games too.
Wonder what refs we'll get sat? Probably call everything! Worry about doke and dot! They have nothing to lose!

I Think you are so far beyond 100000000000 % right on the refs making the calls - - really , really , really tight for a portion of the game. I just hope they stay one way or another on calls.

As a former official myself , in our pregame with the team Captains always made it a habit of telling the guys - - ok lets have a great game , play right - move your feet and don't reach , you know what's a foul and what's not. - -found that if we let them know from the beginning saved a lot of headache later, the last thing the officials want - - the Coach's want - - the fans want is a dam foul fest, really hard to get any rhythm if you are having to have a whistle blow every other time down the floor.

It's a lot easier to call it close in the beginning of a game , get things under control , players knowing dam if I do this - - I'm getting called. - -A lot easier to call it close early then to let it go and then try and tighten it up late in the game and a real mess if it's close. - you do that then you have people questioning - -well hell I've been doing this the entire game and NOW you wanna call that? - just easy to call it tight from the get go.

If the truth be known a referee could call a foul EVERY time down the floor for something if they wanted to - - nobody wants that. - -I have always felt AND been told that a sure fire way to know whether it's been a well officiated game or not is the Players , the Coach's , fans - -will neve even know the referees are there - -you won't hear a lot of whistles. -Clean game. - - People don't realize that people as fan how much they really miss even if they are on the front row of seats. - -Unless your actually out there on the floor with the players , you STILL miss a lot of what actually goes on in a ball game - - ALOT of contact and other things.

That's why I feel your right about them calling close in this, I'm even sure they have been reminded by the Big 12 office , WATCH , and keep this under control , might make for a really hard game to watch but your spot on. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Woodrow As will Duke fans, and Kentucky fans, and Baylor fans this year. It makes me laugh how every year, each region is the hardest depending on who you talk to! I honestly feel like we usually get a pretty fair shake most years. Creating a "fair" tournament with 64 teams while considering travel costs, and most importantly ad revenue is certainly not a simple process.

ya, I was just gonna say EVERYBODY says their bracket is the hardest not just KU

Yeah, but this year - with the NCAA cloud still looming - our bracket "Really Is" going to be the hardest, and it won't be by accident.

For all the talk of "parity" and "no one dominant team" in college basketball this season, predictors would be wise to pick the programs that are tournament-tested. The bluebloods are bluebloods for a reason.

This year may well be the one with no VCUs, no Loyola-Chicagos...no Cinderella teams in the Final Four, or even Elite Eight. Just a group of good to better-than-average teams.

YOU might very well be right , a I heard some of the so called experts saying that even the Mid Majors aredown this year. - -Just down all across the Board. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Was listening to my local sports show this afternoon , and they brought these up - - good to pass conversation , get feed back. - - they were asking a couple of Questions. - - -Ready ? Here we go :

Question One : - What do you think , they were taking a poll on this ready? IF AGAIN IF you were a K-State fan , would you as a fan rather K-State win the game tonight , and possibly be what KU needed to the win the Big 12 Championship - OR would you rather as a K-state fan lose tonight and KU possibly stumble and NOT get the Championship ? - -Which would you rather do ?

2nd Question Ok here we go: - - If KU met Houston in the NCAA , how many points would Quentin Grimes Score against KU ? - -then they threw in how many would he score if Marcus was Guarding him? - -My response to that is - -if Marcus guards him it would be a BIG FAT ZERO. - -ok guys woul love to hear your responses thought it was kind of cool to hear the response. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Dotson or Doke or both? • Feb 25, 2020 08:18 PM

@jayballer73 said in Ok guys , so what am I missing, got to be things:

Guys I've been thinking the last couple of days , actually at different times this season. Now I hear some people here and there and I agree with them but I dunno , and I could be wrong and I'll readily admit chances are I am.

Don't get me wrong I love KU actually I've let my feelings/emotions probably go to far sometimes throughout my life - - especially when I was younger. At a younger age you just didn't say a single thing bad about the guys or we would have issues - - typical hot head to quick of temper, have been able to manage to temper that some lol.

Ok so anyways just have to ask - - WHAT am I missing about this group of guys ? -- I mean were good ,I know that not saying that at all BUT for some reason this team just does not WOW me. Where is the WOW in this team ? You know what I'm saying ? - This team does just not sit me back and say like DAM they crazy good -no flash. I mean you know - - where is that WOW factor at with this team ? - Someone tell me with this team just stuns you, makes you say - - we got this - -something that you just kinda of like OH YA - we good . - I just don't see it, not necessarily saying it has to be that way, but in years past we had that player that just kind of like at times you could go DAM - they just balled. - I dunno I know making a lot of nothing but just different. - If I were an opponent, this current KU team would not be a team that intimidated me, they just don't look or put out that kind of vibe where they can do that.

I mean cause look at it, sure we have beaten the teams we should of Beaten BUT what would you say has been our best win this year ? - - Every time we have been challenged by other teams closer to us - - we have got beat. Duke ,Villa Nova , Baylor -what's our quality tier one win this year? Would have to be West Virginia.

I could easily see us losing at West Virginia - - - Baylor - - - Texas Tech - hell never say never to K- State upsetting us at their pig pen with their extra added motovaition -probably not but a chance. - -Like I said I'm happy with the way the Season has gone but just not had the socks knocked off, a lot of inconsistences Will still say IF we don't win the NC, you watch it's going to be what's been our weakness all year - -our inconsistent 3 pt shooting & Free Throw shooting. - -just some pondering thoughts guys. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

This post didn't age well... Just giving you a hard time, friend! @jayballer73 Seems like we are having some fun now!

lol ya just like I opened mouth and inserted foot by challenging Ochai , and what's he do promptly goes out and kills it with 15 - - I'll sit down now lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Woodrow As will Duke fans, and Kentucky fans, and Baylor fans this year. It makes me laugh how every year, each region is the hardest depending on who you talk to! I honestly feel like we usually get a pretty fair shake most years. Creating a "fair" tournament with 64 teams while considering travel costs, and most importantly ad revenue is certainly not a simple process.

ya, I was just gonna say EVERYBODY says their bracket is the hardest not just KU

4 Guard offense. Sticking with Moss as the 4th guard. Dotson healthy, Garrett looks healthier. Guys just maximizing their roles and continuing to play for each other and having fun doing so. And then there's Doke just dominating games. I'm having a ton of fun watching this group

you and me both my friend - - -you and me both. Question ? - - when Doke establishes down low & pins , WHO is going to stop him?

Wouldn't it be great to have two 1st team All Americans on the team ? -- Devon & Doke. - -How about having a Big 12 player of the year ? - -wonder if guys could share the title ? -- Devon & Doke. - - How about having the National Defensive player of the year? - -Marcus - - -mercy all those possibilities - -won't happen but hey doesn't hurt to dream/want. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Just saying guys,,,, I'm starting to be somewhat concerned. We're going to need more outside shooting come tournament time - not going to be facing any Okie States.

Ya well I was getting concerned about Oachi production -- he simply sit me down and said just watch - -I said good enough for me - - I'll be quiet now lol- - Thanks Oachi , nothing to see here - - were good.

@BShark

That offense creeping up before our own eyes. 4 point difference in AdjEm continues to spread. This team is awesome

Sure looks like we are starting to gel/come together - - hitting full stride at the right time for a change - - hitting enough 3's to keep people honest , driving the ball , ridiculous defense , THE BEAST HAS AWOKEN ( DOKE ) - - rebounding well - everything is fallin in place. - -Glad to see Tristian get some floor time Braun continue to get more - - - these guys could sure be some how with spot minutes more Tristian than Barun - -Cause we all know Braun gonna be just fine - -but Tristian getting some PT can't do anything but help -- Hell even getting Silvio back will help with depth another body and spot minutes - - ALL VALUABLE - -We A BAD TEAM -- at times can be Scary good. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
