I understand that there is potential for a lot of contact, but what used to be fouls are not called as fouls anymore. I have played basketball and had busted lips and split my chin open requiring stitches, so I know the physicality, but it seems almost too physical to the point that players are being put in harm's way.

I can't tell during the game, but are they communicating with one another on the court about switching? I would think if they are saying it out loud that it makes it less likely that there is an open player left to make an open shot. It is difficult to switch in-game guarding a 3-5 and then a 1-2 with different heights and speeds. Why don't they switch it up on defense with different looks with zone or a box and 1 or triangle and 2? I can understand why they don't do man to man because of the minutes they are playing, but I thought that the coaches have them do conditioning and that is what 'hell week" is for. They seem to get tired out more quickly, but that could be due to parity with the portal. The only time I saw them turned up to full capacity was when we played Connecticut. That is what I am accustomed to seeing with KU, but not this team. It could also be related to the physicality of the game. I don't remember college basketball being this aggressive with respect to contact except in the past 10-15 years and it seems like it is getting more and more physical. It is getting to the point that I think it should be renamed basketbrawl. I understand I may have unrealistic expectations. If they are doing the best they can, then I applaud them, but I have a gut feeling that that is not the case.
On to the next.
If it had been us shooting the ball, it would have been a clean block.
Good 3 minutes. Keep it up.
On to the next 4. Let’s cut the lead.
How can everyone get hot on 3’s against us?
@approxinfinity Good vibes for the good guys!
Like when players pass to their coach.
Maybe refs can only see fouls on that end of the floor.
Can’t leave Lipsey open
I am sorry if I have offended anyone. I want to commiserate with fellow fans when someone does boneheaded plays because I want the team to always play their best. I want the team to show they are the best in the land and hope that their conditioning and understanding of Bill’s vision and their dietary choices and their life situation is allowing them to focus on the reason they chose to come to Kansas to play in the 1st place. I get passionate and express that frustration openly with likeminded individuals. I will refrain from doing so in the future, since I understand it is frowned upon. I will observe in the background. Rock Chalk!
TCU beats Oklahoma.
BS says that Hunter is dealing with a knee issue.
Jeff Gueldner on postgame is ripping the team a new one.
Unbelievable.
Not our night.
Still 10 minutes to bring it around.
Tied f’n game!
@nuleafjhawk sloppy TO’s.
This should not be this close!
Furphy +/- of 12, Elmarko is -4
KJ is our leading scorer so far. He also has the most rebounds for the team.
We are still shooting 68% and 43% from the 3.
WTF!!!!
Stupid TO’s.
We are shooting 76% so far.
Juan does know how to shoot.
@Crimsonorblue22 I think they called a foul on Timberlake.
Timber lake!!
Man did KJ rock that dunk!
Hey, we are #1 in something on Kenpom! Assists.
@kjayhawks Haven’t seen that called in a long time.
Juan I believe
Good defense that time.
Illinois made a poster 2 days prior to the arrest showing him with the meaning no one ever wants taken in a negative light. “The scariest thing in college basketball”
@approxinfinity Should we take a vote? 😂
Jason won MOP
@DanR They want to be remembered for something.
3rimm!!!
I think the refs “missed” the holding/PI call that they were supposed to make.
We have 200 more yards in offense and . . . Oh yeah, 200+ yards in penalties.
Woohoo!!!
@wissox nope.
@DanR They have been quiet all night.
Yes, I saw it on the replay.
@kjayhawks They are saying everyone is doing a top-notch job?
I wish the batteries in her mic would go dead.
@approxinfinity I wondered what he was talking about.
No flag?? 😳
The announcers just realized his mic is not working
