@DCHawker stop Juan
Face guard Gradey

If kj isn’t aggressive it’s the jw show which isn’t enough

@BeddieKU23 or giving up open layups and mid range jumpers all day

Getting bad Juan against better athletes even hanni just said

This is how we lose he’s our mop

Put remy in…oh wait

Juan been d2 bad

@BShark makes perfect sense to me

Self 101

1) defend
2) run my stuff and once you have my trust you can free lance within it

Can see why you wouldn’t be a fan. Pop isn’t an elite athlete either from what I can tell

@BShark curious why not? Is it because of all the guards we have coming in?

A true shooting 2 guard like pop who can play alongside mr assist in juan would be a good fit I’d think.

Explain ur logic u know some ball and clearly connected

Tyson and the big 11 from France I’m on board with.

We need:
Legit big scoring 5
Crazy athlete who can do all 3 phases at the 4
Shooter at that 2-3 spot who can attack

@benshawks08 great post

Exactly Juan scores what 3 or more we are 24-0 now?

I get we can’t lose Jalen or Gradey all important but assuming everyone is healthy than when playing we need aggressive, attacking, looking to score Juan that’s the best form of the Hawks even when other guys have off nights. Heck Juan can have an off night but if he is aggressive it opens everything up.

What’s everyone thinking with this team?
They’ve exceeded my expectations at worst sharing the big 12.

Elite 8, final 4 another natty with Billy Eugene cementing himself as maybe the goat with back the backs???

We haven’t played great lately but we are defending better and racking up W’s. If shots for JW and Gradey start to fall watch out.

Last but not least Bill figured it out.

Can’t play juan and Bobby together (with his paint touch off the bounce the staff clearly looks at metrics and analysis more). Those two together our squad was atrocious.

Udeh first big off the bench and he’s changing games - perfect offset for KJ to throw teams off!

Joe scoring guard off the bench (should have been mj but it hasn’t materialized). Joe’s playing freer.

Bobby to only spell Juan at pg and never alongside him.

What I saw Bill let play out in games and has gone away from that dualing pg lineup. As he’s said they are just ball reversers and don’t attack we are gosh darn awful.

Rock Chalk and buckle up it’s gonna be a fun March as the tourney will have upsets and anyone can win it!

@BShark Agreed those teams that had an Arthur, Withey, Morri, Dok, Big Dave ect

Self has said without that we do still score a lot in the paint so even though it’s not throw it in one on one in the post he’s happy with it.

KJ already has the ability to drive right and finish like Wilson but our 4 man has to be so versatile like Josh Jackson or Jwill that not sure KJ can unless he becomes this great shooter in the off-season. Send him up to the Warriors shooting coach!

@dylans this is message board fodder and just needing something to talk about.

Last years team credited Ramsey for how well conditioned they were especially late in season and title game.

This is just bad luck and some injury prone guys to begin with

Ramsey’s good

@Texas-Hawk-10 we won that’s literally all we should care about today and next game

Whether 44-43 or 92-90 I don’t care how we do it just get the W and these guys gritted it out and did while not feeling good

Big 12 tourney how we play is a good test of what we will do in the tourney. Last year we got the remy boost curious to see how we do this year with this league so tough

Juan was a stud

Kj started to play aggressive

Wilson needs to get back to his normal play and he will

@FarmerJayhawk whoever said 11-7 is an idiot and knows nothing about basketball

@FarmerJayhawk exceeded my expectations!

@wissox hopefully UT loses at tcu and we are up 2

Gotta take care of easy business at home

KJ ATTACK from top of the key!!!! Come on dude - Juan has learned to attack from tip now you need to be reset like it was missery game again

@Texas-Hawk-10

A Bill Self team will never be bottom half of the big 12

@Texas-Hawk-10 that and at tcu

I think Baylor losing tomorrow helps and then they are fired up not to lose 3 in a row with Texas at home

Tcu lost a tough one in Austin - they matchup well with Texas I could see 2 losses for UT before we play them

What a gutsy win

Team might be peaking at the right time with Udeh getting backup minutes and effecting games

Need UT loss and we hold serve at home and at UT gonna be for outright!

We ain’t soft!!!

Mother effin juan!!!

@DCHawker ur kidding right?

He goes hard every time

Dude has 2 charges he is adjusting to officials

@jessejayhawk he’s struggling tonight more than ever but dudes our stud so giving him a huge pass

He’s a winner and hope he makes plays these final 6 minutes

Got 1 lob Juan to Ernest and now they got way under

Shoot the wide open 3 Juan!!!!

@DanR he isn’t good and somehow worse offensively than Juan

Good Juan wins titles
Bad Juan bounced in the second round

We are laboring but good battle with a team jacked to sweep us

We are laboring and go figure Juan has 2 points

Need him to get a bucket and we will win

@BShark someone’s been saying he’s the most important player on this team - nah he’s a troll though knows nothing

THIS IS KANSAS BASKETBALL

THIS IS THE JUAN BILL RAVED ABOUT

SIT DOWN SCOTT DREW

@AsadZ Juan never has anyone to dish to because of how everyone guards the screen he needs to attack and get layups

If he doesn’t throw the oop when the big rolls immediately than the dish isn’t even an option

Baylor/TCU best teams when fully healthy
KU/Texas that next tier

Ksu, isu wannabe’s

@cragarhawk agree gotta get in their jock and make them uncomfortable

Issue is the few times we did they had wide open layups with no contesting at the rim

Bill will give up 3’s versus layups any day

@Kcmatt7 glad somebody said it he’s been brutal for 1 half turning down open looks as their guards sit way off him

They go under every screen except #4

Kevin looks to have no confidence when shooting again and his release is clearly off he’s shooting like the ball touches his pinky last it’s ugly

13 is better than down 15-20…..we knock a few more down and Juan gets aggressive we win

Baylor will make 5 threes next half and miss 12

We got this

Juan knows he has to look to attack from the tip and if he does we win.

Bill knows it and has said as much

Our new bench is the best it’s been because Bobby isn’t first off it. Hopefully Bill sees we play better without him and only uses him to spell Juan some minutes at the 1 versus playing him first off the bench at the 2

@jayballer67 go check ksu’s road wins
Go check Texas road wins

Then check ours and see what you can decipher

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread:

@kjayhawks evidently he's nba

Hey u catching on just took some time re reading it

Definitely not that but I could somehow hang for white boy. Juan would have ate my lunch that is not a joke.

@kjayhawks said in Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread:

@kuballin10 undercover KSU

I like Tang a lot then he went bonkers when they played here all Scott Drew style and blaming the refs

Lost some respect there

He’s 1-1 against Bill better than most can say

@jayballer67 make sure you rehearse this after he performs poorly

He ain’t perfect but when juan is good juan is great

When he’s bad…it’s real bad

Don’t know which Juan you get

After all that we control our own destiny

KU doesn't control their destiny in the Big 12. ISU is a game up on KU and we've already played them twice.

They gonna lose again maybe more then one. - Like I said before this game - -6 losses is gonna be the best - -more likely then not gonna be shared

Point is KU is dependent on others losing in order to win the Big 12 even if KU wins out which means KU does not control their own destiny in the Big 12 race.

Well hell the other teams are counting on others too - this race is WIDE OPEN INCLUDING KU

How about we a top 6 big 12 team on the road first

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread:

Juan doubters in shambles

Horns down, Rock Chalk

Your screen name is the greatest pg at KU

Juan doubters? No, one doubts Juan they say he’s gotta do it every game bring it like Frank and Graham

He can throw up 2 points, 3 assists and 2 turnovers and get outplayed by Lipsey

@jayballer67 you watch isu game on Saturday or miss that early tip?

He 100% has to

If u think the bench is gonna play like this every game well I got some land I need to sell ya that’s beautiful

@Jethro that a boy troll you tell ‘em!

@kjayhawks you said he was D2

I won’t stoop that low regarding Juan he’s proven his worth and has a ring to show for it

@wissox my bad thread killer

Now that makes a lot of sense that place was brutal

@jayballer67 do it night in and night out and we are onto something

@Jethro too early troll

Bilas sucks lately he’s not been for us

@Crimsonorblue22 nah I do that and too easy to look me up….only white guy in the photo

Played with two nba players but I’m a scrub there’s a reason I’m sitting behind a screen

@wissox at least at me bro!

@Crimsonorblue22 name dropping watch out

@Kcmatt7 @BShark and many others have

Juan doesn’t have the cast with two nba players like last year

He must be scoring version of Juan and attack like Frank for us to win

I’m okay with him missing shots but his threes are no confidence it’s ugly to watch yet he has to look to score evenly

Why do we keep switching? Can we no longer guard the ball screen without switching?

@wissox it’s a message board lighten up Francis

@Crimsonorblue22 you’d be bored without me just sunshine pumping and no analysis

@Jethro go away troll
