I think the way we kind of need to look at it is - - Toppin is gonna get his, the key thing will be - -just make sure the other 4 that a couple of them just don't go off for career days. - - Toppin is going to be a hard matchup with whoever we put on him.
Like Bilas was saying we put Garrett on him he just gonna post him up - - you put or try and put Doke or McCormack out on him he just take them outside. -- So do the best you can on him - - Contain the others. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
So who guards Toppin ?
Duke got beat
what like 2-9 from 3 ? - -Has Doke scored ? - - if you can't hit a 3 then you best be getting the ball inside - - not gonna win very many games shooting like that. - -Thank goodness they shooting just about as poor. - -Scary thing is they can get hot from the 3 I think faster then we can

Tell ya what, IF we win tonight, no matter who we play for the Championship , we better be ready - -both really pesty, quick - will need our a game no matter how much size we got- -probably will for sure be another 4 guard.
Virginia Tech - -really drain the 3 - -Auburn = = = = =2 - -Dayton can shoot and play really good defense, - -IF we move on then we can't afford any slow start. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Edit : - Tell ya what IF we win - -and Dayton wins - - Toppin gonna be a Nightmare for Doke.
I hadn't heard or say read that we are in the Wooden legacy tourney next year.
Just a two day tourney sounds like with the 4 teams - - KU - -Virginia - -UCLA - -& Georgetown. - - talking about possible/probable KU - -Virginia matchup - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Wow - - Georgia was buried in the 1st half against Izzo's boy's -- -like 4 minutes to go in the game - -Georgia only down 4. Anthony Edwards has scored 28 points in the 2nd half - - JUMPIN - - -GEE - - HOSSA - -FATS
edited : - - Edwards ends up with 33 points in the 2nd half - - mercy
Now don't take me wrong but actually I can take Vitale better then I can Walton. -Ya Vitale is aggravating too can't stand all his ACC Bias and BS - BUT at least the guy stays focused on Basketball during the game - -Ya get really tire of his Diaper dandy talk and all his Duke BS - -but again he maintains focus - - - - Walton just rambles - think his brain is just toasted. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm kind of getting sick of Self and co still mainly recruiting athletes over skill guys. I'm really getting tired of having a team full of guys that cant shoot. If we didn't have Dedric last year then we would have been HORRIFICALLY short on skill.
sorry not really sure if I following about not shooting - -we shot 55% for the game last night - - -and like 41. 8 - from the 3 - I can't holler about those numbers
That was a Division TWO team with really no height or athleticism to contest jumpers. We were 12/29 which is 41% take away Moss and we are 9/25 from 3 at 36%. NOT GOOD. We have rim runners and protectors in Dave and Doke and we have a fast point guard. Our issue is and will continue to be outside shooting. If GOOD teams can pack on us we will lose. We need one to two of Dotson, Agbaji/Tristan to get hot each game to go with Moss to have a respected spread floor.
It isn't just numbers. It's obvious that guys are not comfortable shooters beyond the arc. Dotson uses way too much jump and lift on his 3s and will never be consistent. Agbaji has a bit of a hitchy jumper.
Self has never and I'm betting will never see value in a guy who truly stretches the floor but is below average on D. He won't recruit a kid like that often and if he does(Frankcamp/Greene) he can't deal with the lack of d and stops playing them.
True could be better for sure , we shoot 38% for the season - - Tech at 42.4 - -& Baylor at 40 % are the only 2 better then us in league. -- We do however lead the league in fg % @ 52 % - -8th best in the Nation - -Dayton which leads the nation in FG % is at 54 % - - -we are 2nd in the League in scoring at 84 PPG - - 51st in the Nation in 3 point shooting - -for sure could be better -BUT then again could be a hell of a lot worse too - how many teams are there? - what close to 300? - -I understand and agree with what your saying, please don't think I'm trying to be a smart as or anything -- just saying I think over the season we will probably get better. - The only reason I commented in the 1st place was I thought you were just talking about our overall shooting. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yeah sounds like RIP to the 2 big lineup for now.
for sure I think if we make the Championship and Virginia Tech happens to make it - -we MUST go 4 out to match up with those guys - and he said himself last night wasn't sure how much longer he could go 2 bigs

KU gets BYU tomorrow night. Cougars beat UCLA by 15.
The Hawks better show some perimeter D in the semis. BYU shot the lights out, especially from three.
Now, the good news: Walton won't be calling the game. (Bilas & Shulman).
I watched most of the UCLA-BYU game, wasn't impressed. The Bruins didn't lose due to lack of personnel, they were just outhustled and outplayed, period. I'm not a big Cronin fan, wasn't when he was at Cincinnati either. The guy can coach, no doubt, but the system is just, well, pretty damn boring. The time to poach some Cali players is now, now, now.
If we don't beat BYU by double digits I will be very surprised. And, oh man, am I glad that Walton isn't calling the game - Shulman and Bilas I like. Walton is, I just gotta say it, an out of his element weirdo. Man, but how old are those BYU guys anyway? They have one guy who is all but completely bald, Lol! I realize that they go on missions, but I thought they were for 2 years, not 20 😂
I told people - -Walton is just no good. - -he talks about everything other then the game.
Then like last night a guy makes a routine rebound and when he does say something it's like - - GREAT REBOUND - -what defense - -or how Chamanide running KU right out of the gym on ONE fast break LMAO

BeddieKU23 said:
Really they have played like this in every game but just wasnt facing power 5 teams.
Ya they are really gonna struggle I think
Ok question , I talked about this before the game - -how I was not looking forward to having to listen to Walton for this game - -told you to listen just how he goes off and rambles on about whatever - -anything BUT the game.
So now that the game is over question is - - -Exactly out of a 40 minute ball game how many minutes do you think he actually talked about the game being played in front of him - -he is a absolute mess lmao. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well K-State really struggled today - -they looked bad. - half way decent on the defensive end BUT man they suck on the offense. - -3/13 from the line - 59 points for the game losing to a Pitt team not very good either.
You get beat by a team that turns the ball over 21 times and shoots 1-16 from the 3 - -you are in trouble. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
FarmerJayhawk said:
We’re only 36 point favorites so Walton will at least be entertaining
Think I need to bust open a new bottle of Sin Fire take a couple of stiff shots so I can tolerate Walton - -just watch he goes on one of his ramblings and just rambles on an on about anything and everything but the game.
What makes it bad is he sucks the play by play into his insanity and the game is just going on and their talking about everything but the game
Well VT= = Auburn 18-19 ? - -IF again always have to say IF - -we get that far to play in the Championship , probably be a game where we play 4 around 1 - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

KK announcing Thursday. Can’t think KU has a shot but Arkansas is like 3 guys overcommitted at this point.
hmmmm, well one might think that -- - -that might give us a shot still BUT these programs have ways of working & twisting things around right? - -sure would be sweet if somehow we did fall into him. - We really don't have any scholi's right now either do we? - - - he probably still lands at Arkansas - -home town and such. -- be nice him and Bryce together. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Half the Big-12 remains unbeaten at this point. Not a surprise since most of the league hasn't played anyone besides Baylor.
KU through 4 games- Opponent's Record 18-8
Rest of the league
K-St- 8-18
OU- 13-17
Tech- 12-16
OSU- 16-15
Baylor- 24-18
WVU- 13-10
Texas- 14-15
TCU- 13-12
ISU- 12-12
Mercy that's really bad , and to think even with such a sorry schedule against nobodies a lot of these teams have struggles with those nobodies - - mainly K-State for sure. - - Again Balor is pretty salty - -super quick guards. We all know what Jarrod Butler can do, Teague looks pretty solid
Baylor looks pretty Salty. - -4 guards that can flat shoot the 3. - -Anybody remember Jarrod Butler ? - Ya the one that lit us up for 31 in the Phog, you just can't leave that guy open 3.
They have Butler , Williams , Teague , & Bandoo . - they gonna be a challenge, - Just won the Myrtle Beach tourney over Villanova - 87-78 - -will be interesting - -really quick guards. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Pooka sat out the Indiana State game. He had 22 carries for 99 yards against Coastal. We have large issues in every phase of the game. O-line, D-line, Special teams, which lost the game against Texas. I really feel we would have been much better if Khalil would not have left. A great one two punch with him and Pooka.
Sure hope we can have a great game against Baylor. An upset would leave a better taste in our mouth going into next year. GO HAWKS!
That's right , it was the Indiana State game confused. - Also agree I think our greatest problems are on our line both sides of the ball.
Football recruiting is so crazy , I've been reading and as we know we have lost some de-commits I think 3-4 - -but I think every school loses a player or two even the big boys, having said that I am just saying football recruiting is crazy. - -I guess - the weekend of Dec 6th-8th is suppose to be a pretty big weekend for us in football recruiting and it's still for 2020. - -We was actually over our limit at one point and yet still recruiting for this up coming year.
Probably the biggest one coming that weekend is Clayton, which was pretty dam high on our list - another Pooka just like Pooka 2 although think he is a more highly rated player then Pooka - -and Committed to Colorado, everything had pointed it was down to Georgia and us for him - then he commits to Colorado, so that's the crazy part is he is coming with some other that weekend. - -So hopefully get him to flip , even after a kid commits - - schools still keep after them until they sign lol , coincidental that weekend just happens to be the SAME weekend KU is playing Colorado in Basketball - -get him into the Phog - -who knows - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
kinda funny in a way. - -reading the Iowa State Board - they're fans having a Nuclear meltdown lol
kjayhawks said:
@jayballer73 first off we had Pooka against Coastal we just had one of the worst OCs in collegiate history. Secondly we only returned 9 starters from last years team, top 3 receivers, QB and the entire front 7 defensively were gone. We returned everyone for Beatys 3 win season, he likely wins a game this season if he was still here. Miles also was only able to sign a mere 15 guys in his first signing class. KU is down 14-9 at the half against ISU currently and really has out played them, just needs to score touchdowns. Rarely did Beatys team out play a conference opponent, they gifted us his wins.
Didn't Pooka sit out the 1st game because of off Season problems with his Girlfriend , where he went through a diversion and Les Sit him out the 1st game? - -could be wrong
Do you realize how close this team is to having 7 wins ? - -Pooka plays I have no doubt we beat Coastal , - Came within 5 points of West Virginia , - -Texas had to kick the game winning field goal with time expired. & then very respectable a couple of plays and we beat Iowa State today..
Have to agree for sure - , Les gets another class of his recruits, I mean it's really frustrating, no way at mad at the guys - -they're trying as hard as they can --we are SO CLOSE - - so dam close to being right there and getting this thing turned around.
Pooka a really huge game today. - -I think Iowa State they said aad only been giving up 138 yards a game rushing , Pooka kinda put that to rest today. - -We moved the ball well, just had a hard time getting that stop.
Huge call late where we had forced them into a really bad situation and got the Roughing the passer - - that hurt , if that's not called who knows. - -we WILL get there with Les I have no doubt. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Anyone watching?
I did
just some FYI in case anyone wondering. - - If you have Direct TV you can watch the game on channels 668 - - or 671 on Direct. just passing along. have a great day. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Ok let me answer my own question on this , I think yes we are maybe just a little but still progress.
I get frustrated though when I think negative , thinking -- ok last year we won 3 games , this year we have won 3 games. - -I seriously don't see us winning either of these last two. So I think HAVE WE made progress?
Then I realize , true we have still only won 3 games just like Beaty but then I think - -we were really close to at least winning 5 this year - -lost to Texas by 2 , Lost to West Virginia by 5 , and if we would of had Pooka chances are we would of beaten Coastal Carolina. - The Question becomes would that of been the case with Beaty , if he were still the Coach? - My Answer is no.
Guess I'm just saying my thoughts out loud as I read them I think OF COURSE we are making progress - -little as it may be. - -Recruiting is quite a bit better - -more talented athletes I do have a question though, Pooka just has been lacking something this year - -hasn't really been that same back and my question is why? - Pretty much the Same O-Line - - One thing that I've noticed seems like he spends way to much time dancing around in the back field - -reversing field , he just needs to hit the hole and go, seems like loses more yardage by trying to reverse field to much - -last year that worked - -this year defense staying home. - What you think? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Boy , you can say that again
Watching the Duke/Georgetown game right now , and you know what ? I think maybe I'm liking Tristian more then Stanley OR Hurt.
Other then the game against us , these two guys haven't done nothing this year - - -Hurt hasn't scored tonight at the Half , Stanley has one point. I watched them last night also - -not impressive by far.
I like Tristian's smoothness alot - actually seems mature and just fluid really smooth. True he isn't putting up big numbers but he does a lot of things. Commentators have talked about just how long he is, I realize Stanley and Hurt are more highly rated but sometimes those things don't turn out - -Tristian just looks better to me at this point maybe by the end of the year but right now - -I take Tristian for sure thank you lol.
