Game turned on braun's stone hands messing up that pass from Kevin

This team is so embarrassing on the road.

Mccullar's vision is godawful man kick the ball out

No more Parker braun post ups

@kjayhawks said in The Furph:

In terms of Furphy leaving after this season. I think there is a 75% chance he stays for next season. You have to consider he just reclassified and shouldn’t be here this season. If I was in his circle I’d tell him you can go this season and go late first round/early second round. Or you could return work on getting stronger and handles most likely being a sure fire top 10 pick next season. We have had some kids get some bad advice imo. Henry, Dotson and Selby all could’ve been solid NBA players had they stayed a year or two longer. Especially with the NIL money of today, I don’t think it’s a great decision.

The difference between Furphy and those guys is that Furphy will be receiving first round/lotto projections this year

Interesting hypothetical...Do we get furphy if we take Harrison Ingram in the portal?

Please feed furphy

He just bailed the fuck out of braun there. At least swing the ball to furphy

So far dajuan outplaying shead

Elmarko should just shoot that fadeaway

Good lord these mccullar turnovers

Elmarko should've attacked on that possession versus deferring to nick

Elmarko playing with some serious swagger

KJ Hunter PNR worked there but its pretty ugly

Positive is this was winnable with mccullar playing for Iowa state

Fuck off man

Awful call

KJ bonus free throw I'm assuming a miss

Not sure mccullar could shoot any worse. Damn

Generated a good shot but not sure why furphy and Kj weren't in there for the final possession

Yeah that looked pretty bad in slow motion

DAjuan cooking

Braun's rebounding awareness is just insanely bad

@benshawks08 said in KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat:

@BeddieKU23 I'd disagree about Hunter and KJ. Those percentages aren't bad and for KJ especially, it's how he is going to contribute to the offense and help provide a little more space for Hunter to get the truly easy ones. That doesn't mean I want KJ to shoot that 15 footer EVERY time it is open, but a couple a game can do wonders to keeping a defense more honest and prevent more clogging of the lane.

I don't see KJ knocking that shot down enough to be respectable

@rcjhdraft said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:

@BeddieKU23 Yeah I just singled out KJ because he plays far more than Braun does

He just seems to pick and choose when to rebound instead of it just being instinct. He was showing strides of being consistent as of a couple games ago but that seems to have passed again. Enigma when it comes to this

IMO at the level of athlete he is he should be crashing the boards with reckless abandon. It's what will keep him on the floor if he ever tries to go into the pros since he'll never be able to space the floor. I agree with you that it's baffling that he doesn't do it.

@BeddieKU23 Yeah I just singled out KJ because he plays far more than Braun does

KJ is such a dreadful rebounder given his role

Nobody shuts out the Kansas bench

Braun plays like he has no hands

@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:

Elmarko go for the damn ball.

He plays like he's scared of the ball

@kjayhawks said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:

I have to agree with Jwill and said similar things last season. We just don’t have the athleticism as normal Kansas teams. Any guard in the big 12 can get to paint with ease, even switching we can’t keep guys in front of us.

Elmarko being slow out of the gate and Morris being a horrible person doomed us there

Please no more kj jumpers

Thankfully barely anyone has ESPN+

Elmarko pushing the paint and then passing it back to braun is just inexplicable

Timberlake magically remembered how to play basketball again

We could've pulled everyone 3 minutes ago

I can appreciate Timberlake not looking terrified with the ball today

Don't throw the ball into the paint with Parker braun come on

This draft class is so awful that furphy might go one and done if he keeps this up

lance's leverage worked on me I'll be sending NIL donations now

@bskeet said in Land Thieves Shooty Hoops:

I really don't understand why the analytics don't like this team.

We don't blow teams out so our NET and Kenpom are low

elmarko's first basket in big 12 play came in the third game lol

Don't know why furphy didn't close but whatever

Dajuan's just trolling this game

Good game for net and kenpom

Dok balling out for the suns

Today it's Jalen vs Och

Mccullar keeps getting these brain dead fouls on the reach ins

Jalen and CB currently guarding each other in the nuggets nets game

I do wonder when Self is gonna call it on the Timberlake minutes. I understand why his leash is so long because this team desperately needs shooting but at some point you may need to cut your losses. He's an absolute turnstile on the defensive end
