BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:50 PM

Those last few calls or call and no call were a joke. Someone's gonna get hurt letting that go down.

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:44 PM

Good defense, they are living at the line. Clean up turnovers. Tyler self plays

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:35 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 so two bad calls trump our 9 turns. I think one was a charge, one wasn't. No big deal.

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:34 PM

@BShark UC Davis has 9 to our 8, only reason it's contest is our silly turnovers.

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:29 PM

Wow JJ

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:19 PM

Well we look better than Nova did early lol. Just need a steal and fast break to get us going.

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:12 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 we are shooting 50% from the floor and 38% from 3, turnovers are the issue.

BIPOY and the Hawks vs Donkeys Game Thread • Mar 17, 2017 11:01 PM

With the floater Mason has passed Perry Ellis for 8th on the all time scoring list. Very sloppy offensively, too many TOs.

Josh Suspended For 1 Game • Mar 17, 2017 04:22 AM

@drgnslayr good points @globaljaybird I think alot depends on the initial report. They say something else bad every other week it sounds made up. She could very easily be charged with assault for throwing​ a drink in Vicks face. In regards to the mistreatment, I think a judge will get a good laugh outta it. Her minutes didn't drop til 11 games after the incident. She her self has had some issues as well I'm sure JJ lawyer's have a pretty strong case to just pay for the damage done and move on instead of acting like a 3 year.

Day 1 Tournament Day Thread • Mar 17, 2017 04:14 AM

ISU looked really good for the most part, I thought Purdue was lucky. That could be a pretty interesting game.

@HighEliteMajor That's why their campus is nice, they saved a ton $$ on traveling with in 3 or 4 hours. :laughing:

@Texas-Hawk-10 IU maybe one of the few places I could see giving the money to get him and him wanting to go. He is currently the 9th highest paid coach in D1 and probably wouldn't get any pressure from WSU until 3 or 4 crap years. I would stay if I was him, already making bank for a midmajor and if he hangs for awhile long half the campus will be named after him.

KU Buckets Bracket Challenge! • Mar 17, 2017 03:03 AM

Well I'm in the west lol

Day 1 Tournament Day Thread • Mar 16, 2017 11:42 PM

Nova will probably win bye 29 but man they are getting out played right now.

Billy Preston Documentary • Mar 16, 2017 04:11 AM

Isn't oak Hill where Ben Mclemore came from?

Had read it wrong, fixed my post lol.

They have two Kansas natives on their roster: senior Georgi Funtarov and sophomore SIler Schneider. Funtarov, from Bulgaria, played at Lawrence Free State and Lawrence-Bishop Seabury in high school. Schneider starred for Lansing.

Ok, now guys • Mar 16, 2017 01:10 AM

They don't seem to have great guard play, 19 turnovers. Their big could have a nice game because that's what we have allowed all year. Baring one of their guards going nuts and dropping 30 I'd say they have a slim chance. Going forward from the first round we must show pride on defense, rebounding (shooting was big vs Nova but the offensive rebounds late were killer) and the whole team has to show up, our bench was outscored 31-3 vs TCU (Ik we didn't have JJ but still pathetic).

Nice article about our bama transfers • Mar 15, 2017 11:44 PM

Let the firings begin • Mar 15, 2017 08:53 PM

I'm not gonna give the time day to talk about who Fizzou wants to hire, dont give damn to be honest. In terms a Marshall going anywhere deal I highly doubt it. He has the WSU athletic department bye the balls. He is the 9th highest paid coach in all of D1, hirer than several NC coaches. Outside of some one like UNC or Duke offering once Roy or coach K retires most other programs ether don't have the money to give him around 5 million a year to leave or dont wanna take the risk.

The suspense!!! • Mar 15, 2017 04:39 PM

@StLJhawk As much as we give Weber shit about playing hard, its a big thing this time of year, you can't take possessions off. I wish all of our guys played hard, sometimes I think its just Mason and LL. It will take effort from every soul on this team to make a title run IMO.

The suspense!!! • Mar 15, 2017 04:09 AM

Good thing is the B12 gets a win, hopefully a good sign. KSU fans already blowing up social media like it's the NC.

The suspense!!! • Mar 15, 2017 03:29 AM

@chriz their defense is a joke.

The suspense!!! • Mar 15, 2017 03:22 AM

Looks like KSU is gonna pull away here.

The suspense!!! • Mar 15, 2017 02:56 AM

Wake just missed a huge chance there, missed FTS and bunnies.

The suspense!!! • Mar 15, 2017 02:42 AM

Wake better wake the hell up.

KU Buckets Bracket Challenge! • Mar 14, 2017 05:38 PM

@Blown Interesting, I don't too stress over my brackets unless like last year if UNC won I won $500 but I fill out several brackets, none of which are the same (I maybe sucking it up in one but doing good in the other). That's one other mistake people make when they enter in several, they pick mostly the same exact teams. I have brackets that could be busted tonight, others that play it pretty safe. I've won contests picking both ways, half of it is just picking the right upset.

The suspense!!! • Mar 14, 2017 03:29 AM

@ralster I'm with you forsure, you know I used to not hate KSUCK but there were a few years where we were better in FB, BB and think it short circuited some of their fans and they couldn't handle it. I don't cheer for them regardless of the opponent because of that and anytime they achieve moderate success in their eyes they are a national power and feared bye all. Plus besides being coached by Manning, my sons name is Deacon and hes a demon at times himself lol.

The suspense!!! • Mar 14, 2017 03:07 AM

Its killing me friends. I always disliked waiting as a player and coach, once I've seen who and where I wanna go! My wife always laughs at how hyped up I get before the games bye watching youtube highlights and how I'm all sweaty like I just played at the conclusion. Tomorrow atleast there will be games. Favorite season, Holiday season or March Madness(madness for me)? Who's ready to get this dance started?

Schedule • Mar 14, 2017 03:00 AM

@HawkInMizery Nice gear my friend, I think I'll stick to my autographed BIFM heart over hype shirt.

I'm Happy With This Season IF........ • Mar 14, 2017 02:58 AM

The regular season was really one of the best we have ever had. As some have mentioned, I'm disappointed that we couldn't keep the win streak alive. I hate losing at home, no if, ands or buts about, We were probably do to lose one in conference I suppose with our last lost coming in 2013 in conference. Winning the NC will quickly make me forget about that day.

@stoptheflop http://www2.kusports.com/weblogs/smithology/2017/mar/13/a-peek-inside-ku-footballs-first-spring-/ ↗ Usually KU sports has a guy covering every few days, they are only allowed in for 20 minutes so you don't see much but better than nothing.

Ball Family • Mar 14, 2017 12:31 AM

Wait there's more!!! (Like the flex seal guy). Just read an article in USA today sports that old man Ball said he would've killed Michael Jordan one one in his hayday. Lmao is weed legal in Cali? It must be....

I'm Happy With This Season IF........ • Mar 13, 2017 10:31 PM

I think a FF would make it a great season, sweet 16 I'd be a little disappointed but this is the hardest tourament to win in all of sports IMO. People forget that alot I think, with the parity where it is at. there really are no give mes outside of the first round for a one seed. One game at a time men, lets see how far we can go.

1st Round Upsets • Mar 13, 2017 08:54 PM

@ralster I agree but they were pretty lucky with several of those 3s, our defense is prob the worst in the Self. Im a defensive coach and i get so mad as to why we cant maintain position worth a damn.

1st Round Upsets • Mar 13, 2017 08:35 PM

@ralster I think purdue can win that match up, the only reason they beat us was Frank was the only guy that showed up and they hit a school record in 3s. We killed them on the glass in that game as will purdue.

1st Round Upsets • Mar 13, 2017 08:34 PM

@StLJhawk I pick some crazy picks in about half my brackets, #1 issue is with most people they dont pick enough upsets.

1st Round Upsets • Mar 13, 2017 05:29 PM

This wont be popular on here but I got KSU to the sweet 16. I know most say its unlikely but DJ Johnson who was out several games in their slide is back and healthy and they play good defense, I always pick good defensive teams which doesn't bode well for us. I'm looking to get my groove back, I usually enter 4 or 5 bracket contests and I had won 4 in a row til last year. Roy Williams owes me $1200. $500 for UNC losing last year and $700 for KU losing in 03 lol.

TREMONT WATERS BACK IN PLAY • Mar 13, 2017 04:04 AM

It's interesting to me that he would go to Georgetown in the first place. JT3 has flatout ran that place into the ground. His best season was his second and players he didn't recruit. ESPN ran an article on it last week about how scared they are to fire him because if his dad.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 13, 2017 03:13 AM

Interesting bit if we face UC Davis Friday, their coach Jim Les was head coach of Bradley in 06 when they beat us first round. I think they will lose to NCCU anyway. Hopefully we come out ready after a loss and 9 days to think about it. Get up big and Tyler Self scores his first points in the NCAAs while starters rest.

Schedule • Mar 13, 2017 02:32 AM

@dylans google it, I have been ablr to watch the last few years at work for free. I think its an NCAA site not sure tho.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 13, 2017 01:23 AM

Is someone setting up the buckets brackets challenge this year? Also we play Friday @ 5:50 CT.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 10:58 PM

Sometimes I wonder what the committee uses to pick the last teams in. Can't be RPI with Illinois State 20 spots higher than KSU and USC 3 spots higher.

TREMONT WATERS BACK IN PLAY • Mar 12, 2017 10:29 PM

@KUSTEVE old news but nothing wrong with seeing good news twice!!! I want this kid since we lost Trae no question.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 10:09 PM

West bracket weakest, followed by the East.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 10:00 PM

I knew KSU was in after WSU was a 10, Illinois State and them were fighting for that spot.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 09:56 PM

Really don't want a ISU match up in KC.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 09:47 PM

Why so many B12 teams in Midwest?

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 09:45 PM

Izzo is one of the few coaches I hate seeing, odd we didn't get WSU.

Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview • Mar 12, 2017 09:42 PM

Interesting that duke is a lower 2 seed, we got a crap draw with Nova last year.
