@Crimsonorblue22 too early to say that IMO still a QTR to go

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 10:06 PM

Finally a holding call on them and a big sack. Offense needs to get going again, let’s not abandon the run guys.

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 10:00 PM

Missed a huge hold on Reid there

Penalties becoming an issue, I have a feeling it will be feast or famine on this drive for the ravens. Either a turnover or 7 points.

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 09:33 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 I didn’t watch pregame, very important drive to the second half. Best case is another 7 but you can’t go 3 and out.

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 09:28 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 that was arguably a punch and he easily could’ve been kicked out, he hit him again on the ground. They keep firing up Mahomes and Kelce, doesn’t look like a good strategy at this moment

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 09:25 PM

The refs always make it look scripted with silly or flat out wrong calls.

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 09:23 PM

2 pretty weak holding calls there, second one had zero baring on the play. Gotta keep it close

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 09:02 PM

Stupid play calls there and a bad punt. Probably a tie game at the half and should be up at least a FG. Why to coaches over think the simplest decisions repeatedly.

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:57 PM

Need to make it a two score game before half 3 is fine just need points. They can’t revert back to TDs or bust. Hasn’t worked in the past.

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:49 PM

If the chiefs lose I’d circle that decision, if you have a lead always take the points

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:49 PM

Smh take the 3

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:42 PM

Huge play if it holds by furious George

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:34 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 yep keep Lamar on the sidelines

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:27 PM

Ravens are giving the chiefs everything underneath, just keep nickel and diming it down the field

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:26 PM

@dylans should’ve been a sack

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 08:07 PM

Couple of great catches by Travis there

Playoffs • Jan 28, 2024 07:53 PM

Let’s see what happens my picks are Ravens and Lions

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 28, 2024 07:36 PM

I don’t think there is any shame in losing a tight game to a ranked ISU team on the road. The thing that worries me going forward is 9/10 the team that is cutting down the nets has 2 things. Elite athletic NBA guards and great coaching. We don’t have elite NBA guards IMO at the moment. Kevin I think will get drafted but I highly doubt it’s first round. Juan as much as he can be a good player likely never steps foot on an NBA court.

Game notes and thoughts • Jan 28, 2024 04:16 AM

@wissox I was not happy with Self on the T, it was by definition a flagrant 1. It wasn’t intentional but still was by the rules. It was fairly costly imo in the final score.

I was glad to see Juan get back to his form today. I hate to say it but he has been completely useless since conference play started. Today needs to be his average game. I wouldn’t complain if he took a few more shots but going 4/6 from the floor with 7 assists and only 2 turnovers. That’s what I expected on the average night out of him with his skill set and experience.

KJ has been working on his free throws and it’s starting to show IMO. I believe he started this season shooting in 30s from the line and he has upped it to the mid 60s now. I wasnt able to watch the second half so I’m not sure if he missed a few 1&1s or what but he was 7/10 on the day. I think most coaches would take that out of a big on the average night.

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 28, 2024 04:02 AM

@benshawks08 spot on with the moving screens, like the refs were told to slow down on those calls. I don’t mind it when it’s obvious but it was getting pretty egregious at times over the last few years.

I agree that Hunter seems to be incapable of lateral movement at this time. Some if it maybe his knee issues, oddly enough the defense looked to be this teams strong suit early in the season. We just look so tired on that end of the floor. Very little movement, no communication and lack of awareness consistently.

I think this team would be a great group to run a 1-3-1 match up zone or a triangle and 2 zone. I think switching everything is gimmicky as hell and for teams that are incapable playing solid man to man defense. I think this team is similar in a lot of ways to the 2012 national runner ups. That team late in the season Self ran a triangle and 2 often. It worked very well for that group. Self is a great coach but some times him being set in his ways hurts us. He has to be able to adapt to what he has and his refusal to has hurt some good teams here.

This conference is just crazy competitive this year, several games decided by only a possession or two, we just need a few of the right teams to win.

The Furph • Jan 28, 2024 12:12 AM

@approxinfinity I didn’t realize they had traded away so many players so I’ll shut up lol. I just don’t have faith in the G

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 11:22 PM

I honestly think we need to scrap the switching on defense. It led to easy layups and dunks when Juan was switching to a bigger guy and the big guys gave up several 3s to guards. This isn’t working with this group.

The Furph • Jan 27, 2024 10:47 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 maybe you guys know more about than me but I still don’t see players developing in the NBA. I see them overseas very quickly if they don’t have that 3 year contract.

Other bball games • Jan 27, 2024 10:46 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 the athletic director or officials would be my guess

Other bball games • Jan 27, 2024 10:36 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 the students was spelled out, one guy wearing one letter

The Furph • Jan 27, 2024 09:50 PM

@FarmerJayhawk hasn’t he already been to the G league twice so far this season and it’s not even all star break yet?

Other bball games • Jan 27, 2024 09:49 PM

BYU student section wore shirts spelling out horns down and were forced to turn them inside out smh. What a joke, I’d let it go

The Furph • Jan 27, 2024 09:45 PM

@FarmerJayhawk he did and he has a high ceiling but one bad game and he’s back to the G league

The Furph • Jan 27, 2024 09:39 PM

I wouldn’t blame him if he is a lottery pick but like I always said about the NBA. They draft off of potential but do not give anyone time to develop that potential. Prime example is Gradey Dick I’ll bet anyone, any amount of money he never plays meaningful minutes after his 3 year rookie deal is up.

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 09:26 PM

Self on post game that our on ball defense is terrible but we don’t have the personnel to change it and I agree with him. I read a guy on Facebook commenting that only 2 of our players would start across the top half of the conference and I think I agree with that. This team doesn’t have the horses plain and simple imo. I just want to beat KSU don’t care about anything else. This team is prob about 3rd worst in the self era. Everytime we hit the court the opposing team is bigger faster and Stronger.

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 08:58 PM

Tech with a comeback win in Norman and they take control of the conference

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 08:48 PM

I’m not shocked or even really mad we lost this one but makes the other 2 road losses, one we led by 16 very costly. Houston is definitely in the drivers seat after today. But we know the road is tough in this conference and they could easily drop a few more.

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 08:39 PM

Bench combines for 3 rebounds, 1 assists and 2 points. That’s not gonna cut it in this conference

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 08:36 PM

The difference in the game is 3 point percentage, we are even or ahead in every other category. They hit 14 3s to our 7

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 08:26 PM

Difference in the game is the 3 pointers

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 08:11 PM

I’m at basketball with my son the updates don’t look good

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 07:21 PM

Kevin just needs to make a shot, had 5 or 6 that had bows on them

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 07:18 PM

I’m not gonna be able to watch the second half prob a good thing

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 07:16 PM

We just lost now gonna be down 5 or 6 now at the half

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 07:15 PM

If we could just make a layup

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 07:10 PM

Icey Icey day by Hunter and Kevin

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 06:58 PM

That’s the Juan Harris I remember

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 06:50 PM

Fouls becoming an issue

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 06:44 PM

Nice Juan

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 05:51 PM

Would they storm the court with a win?

Other bball games • Jan 27, 2024 05:47 PM

If Houston could make a free throw it’d be a 30 point game. 41-21 Houston at the half, Houston has great ball movement

@MR11 defense has definitely been an issue since B12 play started. One thing to consider during the NCAA tournament commercial breaks and halftime are longer.
