Well still alive on my prediction of us winning this championship - -Now Iowa State - would of rather played K-State- -- -but you have to play whoever - - just got to go out and take care of business/
Really glad to see Quentin come around - tonight some more - - -hope he isn't hurt. - - Really gonna have to get after it cause Iowa State spreads you out so much. -looking and hoping possibly that Ochai busted loose maybe from his slump - - we can hope. - -Can you imagine if Quentin starts to bust loose some more - - Obaji - -breaks out of his slump - - and Dave continues to play fairly soil -that would be very nice - -Well lets go out and like the new motto says " - -TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS " - -gonna be a war. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Now from the voice of West Virginia - - they are saying this is just the 2nd day since he got his brace off and sure there is zero possibility that he plays tonight - -but like they said we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Saying looks like he is playing - -and this surprises us how? - - Now we deal with Culver and Konate - -Holy Bat Crap -- - I got this feeling Dave won't sniff a basket tonight - -not with Konate- - hope I'm wrong - that's quite a front court
Well Surprise - - -Surprise out commentators are saying it looks like Konate is going to play - - how did We se that coming. - - -that means we have to go against Konate - & Culver

Some yahoo is saying Self to the Bulls is done.

Well I got one down and two to go for my little prediction to come to reality. - -Yet we have to go out and win tonight against a much improved team tonight in West Virginia. - -This is not a given. If your thinking so , just ask Oklahoma - - Ask Texas Tech. -This West Virginia team that we play tonight is not even close to the team a few weeks back.
I had noticed through the year at times you could see that they have some pieces - Huggy has eliminated some poison -and not having Konate. - - We are going to have to play well , as we saw we know that They can beat us - -they've done it before. - got to take care of business.
IF - - and again I say IF we win tonight then we get to the Championship game I erally am not that sure we will be playing K-State. -I think if Iowa State is on they can beat K-State pretty easily - -to me - - - When Iowa State is clicking THEY are the best team in the Big 12 - -ya their defense isn't great - BUT I feel they by far have the most athletic talented team - - They got a couple of good big's Lard and the other kid - and their guards - can flat light it up - - their quick - have NBA potential with Wigginton - -again when they are ON. - -whether K-STATE h as Wade or not - -Iowa State the far more Athletic team -I think if we win our game - -there would be a very good chance we would play Iowa State.
Now K-State without Wade - the fan base will not help K-State - -Iowa State fans will be equal if not more - -we shall see. - - OUR NEW MOTTO ( TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS ) - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

All we need to do - -All coach needs to do - -ok - -you see what happened - -that's what happens when you don't come ready to play - - not focused- - we need to come out ready. - - - Tech just looked like for a lot of this game that they were almost sleep walking through this game - - no interest - -showing no urgency.
I just kep waiting for Tech to dial up their defense -and it JUST wasn't there - - McCabe play well - -but yet made some really stupid decisions late for WV rushing up shots instead of pulling out and running the offense - - just killed Tech on the boards - Mcabe thinking he was going to drive in the lane and flip up an underhanded shot against Owens ? - - WTH Well now we got to take care of business - pay back to Texas for the game we lost to them at Texas. - -Gonna be a challenge against Jackson Hayes - and oh what's his name? - - Buterball - - O - - - - - you know who I'm talking bout - anyways well we will see - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I hope it continues.. While recognizing that we have to take care of business first...not having to face Tech would be a break. ISU looked good....KSU better look out.
Long - Long way to go - - and your right - -we ( KU ) just better worry about OUR game. - -I look for Tec to come out a totally different team in the 2nd hal - -got a feel their defense will be stifling v- I'm sure Beard is gonna be all up in their britches.
Huggy Bear brought them to play - - not just lay down. These kids he has - I think they are going pretty decent next year. - The Culver kid for them is a stud - McCabe -pretty decent - -Mathews going to be good. It was good for West Virginia to take that hit - -and at least punch back with a 5-0 run to end the half. -- Long way to go. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
WV just has been looking so much better - their defense is really improving. - -Keep waiting for Tech to turn it up - -but in reality they are really forcing things right now -- I know Beard is heated
Mercy I mean I know there is so long to go - -BUT can you believe the beatdown WV is putting on Tech right now -28-11
And this is a surprise how? - Thanks Beaty - - Man makes you wonder , now we got a good Coach and he has to go up against this in recruiting - -- this poor program can't catch a break - - 1st a really bad coach - -and then we get a decent Coach things possibly looking up nd BAM now he has to face this - -gonna make it really hard for 2020 recruiting

Here is the deal. - IF Las Vegas had a betting line on this for tonight. The easiest money a person could ever make - Safest bet a person could ever make? - -That would be that KU will be playing Against THE ENTIRE BIG 12 fan base tonight at the Sprint Center.
You can take it to the Bank every single fan that's in the Sprint other then KU fans will be pulling for Texas. - -Tech fans - - Wildcat Fans - - WV Fans - - Iowa St fans - -EVERYBODY - -dam I wish there was a line on this - -would love to make me a few thousand. - W fall behind -- Texas make some kind of run - - the Sprint Center gonna go nuts rooting for Texas -Anyone doubt that? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay This was parents paying non revenue sport coaches to have their kids as part of whatever athletics program because of lower academic standards for admissions for most athletes.
The stupid thing to me is that if these parents had just straight gone to the admissions office and say they'd donate whatever amount to the school directly, I'd be very surprised if a school would turn down a $500,000 donation to admit a kid who isn't quite academically up to par.
This story just shows how desperate some people are to have their kids go to prestigious school.
That's a pretty dam good point all things consideration. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I would bet on it being a fairly minor violation on that part. KU should've just paid him and been done with it.

I think we can beat any team we hit the floor against, doesn’t mean I expect it or will predict it but we always have a chance IMO.

That being said I want to ether lose first game out and go rest or win the whole thing, that how I’ve always felt about it.
Stop and look at it this way bud - - -as bad as we played on the road this year - - losing or not having available players for the year - everything we went though even with all the distractions -- injuries - -we were STILL there - - we were STILL right there - - for these other sad shits - thumping their chest - -they better be glad they got it this year - -the sun has to even shine on a dog's ass sometime - -hope they don't think this is going to become a regular thing lol - -even as bad as we were this year we were STILL RIGHT THERE. - -like you said we can beat any one of these teams -- Tech and K-Straight included and ol Squeaky - we play like we capable of -w handle it loose turn the ball over then ya we can lose to anyone including WV - - I'll take my chances

@jayballer73 I'll eat my hat if we win the tournament. But you do know when you say "so called experts" picking Texas Tech or us it sounds like you're being sarcastic. So called genius's sounds like you think they should have picked someone else?

Ya it would probably be better possibly to change the phrase some - -bottom line is - I think we step up and win this thing -- K-State took a major blow losing Wade. - It just kills me to hear Weber talk about how proud he is - -his team over came so much adversity - -OMFG -you tell me what team in our league DIDN'T go through some major adversity this year? - - you want Adversity - -no body touching the adversity that WV went through this season - -what about TCU losing Fisher for the season? and they lost another major piece right? - -Texas losing Roach for a stretch -- then you have KU - - No Doke for 3/4 of the year - -Losing Silvio - - -Vick leaving - -Garrett being hurt for a stretch - -Hell adversity? - -aversity - - almost 3/4 of the league has faced adversity this year - - but yet Squeaky makes it sound like his team is the only team that faced adversity this yea - -get that shit out of here - -pssssst aversity
Texas Tech - -major props to Tech and I think yes they will chances more then to advance farther then any other from the Big 12 - -but again - were not playing this game in Lubbock - -I'm not going for Tech is going to play like they did in Lubbock - -that was a special night EVERYTHIING was going for them that night -more often then not -- that type of play is not going to happen for them again for more of a road game for them then not - -true it's not a home game for KU - - true we haven't played outstanding at Kemper - -BUT I'll take my chances in Kemper a lot better thanks. -

So now not only is the Basketball program in hot water - Now the NCAA investigating our Football program for NCAA possible Violations - - saying Beaty wasn't cooperating wit the exit interview. - -this could get ugly - -NCAA still checking into possible Football violations
suing Ku for breach of contract and unpaid wages. - -according to story the attorneys said KU started iscussing how they could get out of paying Beaty right after they fired him - - not a good look - - not a good look at all
di you guys see or hear that Beaty is suing Ku for Ku trying to get out of paying him his money? - -it's not a good look for KU - - KU trying to blame him for things -this crap ha got to stop
just reading off CBS sports - -their so called experts making their picks for Conference tourney champions - - -Three of these guys had Texas Tech - -the Two others had KU - - - - - Zero for K-State picks.
I know will be a lot of laughs - -But I m actually picking our boys to win the Tourney too - - that's my pick - - Were not playing in Lubbock -We not playing in Manhattan - -on a Neutral court or so called Neutral court - I' just feeling it - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
just a follow up. - -More schools involved in this: - - UCLA -- San Diego - - Texas - & Wake forest. - - -Actually Hollywood stars involved with this. - the scam was to get their kids accepted by paying to elite colleges - - - having fabricating papers made up getting them admitted as recruited athletes regardless of their alethic abilities
Saw this right after reading the article about how Meyer was talking about how this FBI thing has effected KU Recruiting - -then I saw this - -and just came across National news:
The FBI uncovered - -maybe the biggest scam in history of the game - -Stars & Coaches - -Schools Caught cheating on College entrance exams - plot includes money from 200,000 to- - - - 6 and 1/2 Million dollars. - -for better Scores on players tests - -they're SAT's & ACT'S
Also moneywise from 250,00 to - - -6 Million for fabricating a players - something about making up different things for the players - so yet even more Scandal - -we weren't mentioned on this - - Schools mentioned in this were: - - - USC - -- Georgetown - - -Stanford - - -& -- Yale. - -These things are gonna get - -REALLY UGLY. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
was just listening to old squeaky on the local sports show. - -didn't know this but I guess the injury with Wade - -not even the same foot -- it's his OTHER foot this time - -said various injuries with it - -lots of discomfort Saturday night even more on Sunday.
Sounds like Jada - -or however you spell it - -sounds like quite possible hey is playing this weekend. - -Been shooting for two weeks just as long as it doesn't get jammedtagain
So question is - -should we even be interested in the Spring signing period at all? - Are we going to sign somebody just to say we signed somebody? - we got a body?
who here feels like we got more then a decent shot to land anybody that is somebody? - -If you do who? - -Who do you feel that we have a really decent shot at landing - -I mean more then decent? - I just can't get myself all hyped for spring signing.
The one I thought we had a lot better then average shot at now looks like he too is gone ( Hurt ) - -this FBI thing - -NCAA Thing has just killed us -trying times ahead. - I think in the next couple of years we are really gonna have our patience tested. - -Actually I'm not as concerned about next year as the year after
I think with Dotson - - - Garett - - -and I think Grimes back and I do think he will be back - - -McCormack - - Lightfoot - - Obaji - -w got a pretty good nucleus - -then add Braun and McBride - nothing lights out but we will be there -although we do need a really quality big - and just not sure were gonna get that.
But the following yr pretty nervous by that - -by then we will know all about any Scholi reductions - -any post season bans - and by then could very well be no Grimes - - no Dotson as that would be their Jr years - no Lightfoot due to graduating -- possible no Ochai -time will tell

@Hawk8086 I think a lot of it with Dedric is that he’s just such a boring player to watch. He can’t jump. He’s a subpar athlete (relatively speaking). He does nothing spectacular that you remember. He barely runs sometimes. But he just chops wood. He has an incredible knack/skilll for finding his way to the best spot to get a rebound. Very skilled footwork wise with the ball. Soft touch near the hoop.
I’ve never seen a player like him. He puts up numbers but many times I can barely remember much of what he did.
Agree. - -There have been a lot of times when hearing final stats - -I find myself wondering man how in the hell did he end up with those kind of stats - - and yet there he is - with yet another double double - - never seen a kid that can finish with so many rebounds below the rim. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Conference champs that KU beat this season: Vermont, TTech, KState, Michigan State, Villanova and Wofford. Tennessee, Marquette somehow let conference leads slip away, or we could have had more. Of course most of those wins were KU with Doke and with Happy Vick. Still, we have an impressive body of work without any terrible losses despite our sorrows.
agree. I just think if and I Realize that's a BIG IF but if we roll - if Quentin continues to show a little more upside - If Dave can compete which he has been and showing improvement then there is no reason why we can't play in this Big 12 Championship game and get through the 1st weekend of the tourney.
However I just feel that anything past the sweet sixteen would just be pure gravy - - I just don't see anything after that - -just not consistent enough - -unless we can take better care of ball control, shore up the defensive effort a lot better. -I'd say a sweet sixteen would be the ultimate for the guys this year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
