@jayballer67 said in The Boys Are Back vs OU:

Well was told earlier, that Johhny was the worst of KU players on this dm thing plus/minus whatever the hell you wanna call it.--Well he ends up 15 points----- 9 rebounds, I'll take that any day

And Johnny scored early in the game when no one else was scoring.

The Boys Are Back vs OU • Feb 17, 2024 11:20 PM

I see that Andrea Hudy is now with UConn. I sure hope Johnny stays for another year and takes advantage of our strength program.

@kjayhawks You do realize that Kevin's recent shooting woes have coincided with his knee injury right?

I was disappointed with KJ in the second half, then I read he's been sick all week. A week's rest will really help.

The Boys Are Back vs OU • Feb 17, 2024 11:04 PM

I love the KU chant. RC

The Boys Are Back vs OU • Feb 17, 2024 11:01 PM

Johnny needs a little more arc on his FTs

The Boys Are Back vs OU • Feb 17, 2024 09:27 PM

Since Houston, our offense has been terrible

The Boys Are Back vs OU • Feb 17, 2024 08:57 PM

Good start

2-9 OSt beating BYU. Tough conference.

Boycotting "Big" Monday Games • Feb 13, 2024 12:55 PM

@BeddieKU23 Looks like our coaches and players didn't get the message to "man up." ESPN is going to want KU to play Monday night games against AZ and BYU in future years. I wish KU would just say no to Monday games.

Boycotting "Big" Monday Games • Feb 12, 2024 02:24 PM

Monday games are tough on teams, especially the travel team. Now that Big Monday seems to have lost all its glamour, I wish KU would just say no thank you to ESPN Monday games. I need the day off, so I know the team does. Come on KU, just insist on Saturday and Wednesday games henceforth.

Super Bowl • Feb 11, 2024 11:11 PM

I've heard several announcers say Kittle is the more complete NFL Tight end. I really hope Kelce comes out with the AFC championship game chip on his shoulder and shows those Numbsculls who is the best NFL tight end.

Playoffs • Feb 11, 2024 09:45 PM

There's no way a Brock Purdy led team should be able to beat a Patrick Mahomes led team. No way

McCullar out vs Baylor • Feb 11, 2024 12:39 AM

KJ is 5/5; I sure wish he would shoot more

McCullar out vs Baylor • Feb 10, 2024 11:46 PM

KJ needs to step up. He has spurts where he plays well on offense, then he disappears for 10-12 min

McCullar out vs Baylor • Feb 10, 2024 11:24 PM

Well at least Kentucky lost. That always makes the day better

McCullar out vs Baylor • Feb 10, 2024 11:20 PM

8 mins in and Johnny hasn't launched one yet( except for the foul)

McCullar out vs Baylor • Feb 10, 2024 11:19 PM

I still like the sunflower uni's

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 03:09 AM

ESPN box score can't get our fouls right. Besides Hunter, who has 2?

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 02:49 AM

KU looks more like the Keystone Cops tonight

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 02:29 AM

Guards just can't get the ball the Hunter in the post. Shoot some 3s.

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 02:24 AM

KU must shoot more 3s and maybe make several. Only 4 shots so far

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 02:16 AM

Hunter's defense at the top of the key pushing the dribbling guard further out reminds me of Doke

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 02:14 AM

@kjayhawks said in KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat.:

Pretty physical right now, both teams looked gassed there.

Jeez, I'm gassed sitting here at home

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 02:12 AM

Hunter knows this game matters

KU vs Octagon of Tang Doom Game Chat. • Feb 06, 2024 12:42 AM

Now that Johnny has become KU's 4th scoring threat, KU can more easily weather an off night by one of the other starters or someone on the bench with fouls. I would still like to see Juan shoot more from 3 and drive to the rim a couple times. I really like when Juan drives to the rim, then lobs to one of the bigs.

KU vs Houston Game Chat • Feb 04, 2024 01:30 AM

KU statement game: 69% from the field and 46% from 3 against a really good defensive team. The confidence from this significant win must carry over to the KSt game on Monday.

KU vs Houston Game Chat • Feb 03, 2024 10:39 PM

Johnny hasn't scored this half, right?

KU vs Houston Game Chat • Feb 03, 2024 09:44 PM

Hunter started off well on offense, but hasn't scored much in the second 10 min.

KU vs Houston Game Chat • Feb 03, 2024 09:18 PM

90% from the field and 100% from 3. Now, just keep the TOs down

KU vs Houston Game Chat • Feb 03, 2024 06:00 PM

Juan has got to score and avoid TOs today. I wish Juan would try to dominate the game instead of just letting the game come to him and only trying to score when the team needs it. Hey Juan, unleash your best Frank Mason game; the team needs you to score today and every other game.

KU vs Houston Game Chat • Feb 03, 2024 03:31 PM

I'm really disappointed to be an underdog at home-even if it's to a good team like Houston. It just seems the last few years at least one opposing player in these big games shoots 3s way above his average. I'm really disappointed with KU's 3 pt shooting defense and hope to see improvement today.

Thoughts On 2024 Schedule • Feb 01, 2024 12:33 PM

Early start, Lindenwood-who?, Illinois ducking KU or not, Arrowhead Stadium, two bye weeks, at KSt, vs Colo; Wow, I can't wait for the season to begin. Soccer Stadium/Arrowhead won't give us a home field advantage, but I like the conference teams KU plays at Arrowhead. I wonder what the attendance will be like at Arrowhead.

Playoffs • Jan 30, 2024 12:58 AM

Good grief, 4 years of Brock Purdy beating KU football and now, somehow he's leading the 49ers against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Mr. Irrelevant has more passing yds than Mahomes, more TDs and fewer INTs this year. This has got to be some kind of curse.

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

1/8 from 3. Come on guys

KU vs Cryclones Game Chat • Jan 27, 2024 04:29 PM

I hope the refereeing disparity during the KSt game and the fan hostilities will be corrected for KU's game. The Big 12 officials took an internet beating over the foul disparity and intentionally missed calls. That should be corrected and maybe even overly corrected during our game. I'll be curious if KU shows any fire today. I'm disappointed that this team doesn't seem to mind losing. Maybe a coach like Frank Mason would show these guys what it takes to win all the time.

The Furph • Jan 27, 2024 01:00 AM

What do we know about the Furphy family? If Furphy is predicted as a second rounder or G league, will he choose to leave to help his family?

Hunter • Jan 26, 2024 04:17 PM

KU can't afford to have Hunter on the bench with fouls in Ames. Hunter has got to stop reaching in for steals. Referees let guards reach in way too much, but when a big guy reaches in to try to steal or strip the ball, it becomes an instant foul. And, Hunter needs to stay vertical with his arms and hands when he's in the paint. It must be tempting to reach forward to try to block the shot, but Hunter just needs to let his vertically extented arms be his defense. It's good defense to just make the opponent score over Hunter, rather than have him try to block every shot.

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 23, 2024 03:57 PM

KU needs to make sure Johnny's parents are at all the rest of KU games. Please find them a room at McCarthy. Johnny played with more energy than past games. We need his energy in every game the rest of the year. The rest of the team? I don't have anything positive to say, so I just won't say anything. It's very difficult to watch this team no matter who they are playing.

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 23, 2024 02:29 AM

Juan is 2/3, 6pts. Right where he should be scoring.

KU vs Cincinnati game chat • Jan 23, 2024 02:08 AM

Finally, a Jayhawk who will rebound when Hunter shoots a 3: Johnny.

KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat • Jan 20, 2024 10:26 PM

If every dog has its day, why is it always when the dog plays KU?

KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat • Jan 20, 2024 09:50 PM

KJ had another game like this where he didn't score much in the first half. He'd better get it going in the second half

KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat • Jan 20, 2024 09:49 PM

Getting out rebounded by these guys. Come on.

KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat • Jan 20, 2024 09:38 PM

Wow, Nick thanks for showing up big

KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat • Jan 20, 2024 09:28 PM

Yep, a 6-11 team is hitting 80% from 3. What else would KU expect

Other bball games • Jan 20, 2024 07:06 PM

Exciting finish in TX. But, I sure wish TX had lost.

Hunter • Jan 20, 2024 01:03 PM

I sure hope he comes back. I love his game. Soft touch inside, great hands, and a decent 3 shot. I would like to see him be more physical, but it sure seems like the refs call every ticky tack foul they can against Hunter. And, he must keep his temper in check. I know that's easier said than done. But, he's the target for physical play and cheap shots every game. Wear that as a badge of honor and respect from the opponent.

Chiefs season long game thread • Jan 14, 2024 05:05 PM

The only way Mahomes' helmet gets shattered is from helmet to helmet contact. Again, no call by the refs. The refs missed a lot of calls in the Miami game.

Land Thieves Shooty Hoops • Jan 14, 2024 12:41 PM

KU bench players only took 3 shots, making 2 for a combined 4 pt contribution. Clearly, I need to realize this is a team of 5 starters. I don't recall any college team that relied on its starters like this year's team. Anyone else disappointed that KU's second 5 (really the 5th starter and bench) are so weak? I know KU was counting on Morris, but I don't remember a weaker bench for KU.

Land Thieves Shooty Hoops • Jan 13, 2024 08:33 PM

KJ has been quiet this half
