KU vs Indiana game chat • Dec 16, 2023 09:10 PM

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in KU vs Indiana game chat:

We need to convince Juan that a shot is really just a pass to the basket so that he shoots more.

Juan's 12 pts seems about right to me. He's certainly enough of a threat to score that defenses can't just ignore him like Kentucky did. The bench only took 6 shots today, 6pts. If the bench and Jackson can't contribute more on offense, then Juan may have to shoot more than the 9 shots he put up today

Good thing I have my cardiologist on speed dial.

KU vs Indiana game chat • Dec 16, 2023 05:46 PM

What is up with these slow starts? The Missou start about killed me

KU vs Indiana game chat • Dec 16, 2023 04:15 PM

I sure hope Hunter brings his A game. Hunter has seemed to coast during several games. Maybe he is adopting Juan's attitude where Juan says he'll shoot/score if he feels the team needs him to score. I say shoot and score whenever you can; whenever the shot is there.

Looking at the Gonzaga box score, the 3 starting Gs were the only Gs who played and rack 37, 39 and 40 min. All 3 bench players in the game were Fs. Strange, maybe desperate lineup.

Chiefs season long game thread • Dec 10, 2023 03:23 PM

Does anyone else feel like the Bills game is a must win for Mahomes? Wow has he fallen to average or below average this year. Everyone blames his averageness on the Wideouts, but he's not the same athlete he's been. Meanwhile, Tyreek has almost 1500 yds. At the time, I didn't think losing Tyreek was going to hurt this much. Anyway, McKinnon and Edwards-Helaire must step up. It will be interesting to see if Bolton is back as a game changing force. Go Chiefs!

Missouri Hate Weekend • Dec 10, 2023 12:19 AM

Is 3/10 from 3 where this team should be at home? Got to shoot the 3 much better

Missouri Hate Weekend • Dec 09, 2023 11:53 PM

KU 36-21 on the boards

Other bball games • Dec 09, 2023 06:14 PM

Kentucky is getting great bench scoring from Bradshaw, Dillingham and Sheppard. 22 pt with 15 min to play. KU really needs to find much better scoring from the bench

Missouri Hate Weekend • Dec 09, 2023 01:03 PM

Until the KC game, I thought Hunter was doing fine with the antagonistic defenses that teams throw at him. The KC frontcourt players were definitely leaning on Hunter and being physical, but that's to be expected. I sure hope KU's staff has reviewed the KC defense video and challenged Hunter not to react to the defensive strategy designed to get him aggitated. Hunter's going to see a lot more of that defense going forward. Our staff can watch Hunter and give him more breaks during to game to deal with his frustration and anger. We know Hunter has a temper and loses control; a couple of minutes on the bench will keep him in the game. Who remembers Paul Mokeski in the NBA? His role was to act as the enforcer/hacker in the paint. His days with Detroit is what I remember. Paul is still one of my great memories at KU.

Hunter Done Hunting For a While • Dec 08, 2023 12:06 PM

Google News has the story today from a site called Sportskeeda, whatever that is. I read the story first before seeing this post. I thought it was strange the article didn't say who suspended him, KU, Big12 or his mom and dad. Also, when I watched the throwdown incident, I saw the Roo player elbow Hunter in the chin first. I've never heard anyone else mention the high elbow. Maybe it didn't connect. I don't think KU or Dickinson has commented on it. This would be a pretty devastating suspension since Missouri and Indiana are next up.

Good lord, the UConn coaches are animated. Don't they know their hysterics won't score a single point; more of a distraction to their players. Hurley walks all the way out to the 3 pt line while the ball is in play

Other bball games • Dec 06, 2023 02:36 AM

I guess I'm rooting for UConn over NC.

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 02:29 AM

Roos keeping up with us on the bds. 29 rbs each

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 02:21 AM

Starting to look like the E Ill game

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 02:04 AM

Parker played well. 5 pts, 3 rbs

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:51 AM

About 6 years ago, I thought the Big 12 was doomed the first time OU and TX talked about leaving

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:46 AM

What about the Roos elbow to Dickenson's face. No wonder he threw him down

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:37 AM

Good grief the fieldhouse is quiet like a movie theater.

@DanR said in KU vs Roos game chat:

I honestly can't figure out how I'm paying for ESPN+. I've checked all my credit cards for the past two years, Amazon add-ons, and there's nothing. I had two account at one point, which pissed me off, but I canceled them both like three years ago. Yet, here I am, watching the +

Do you have the hulu/disney bundle? + comes with it.

KU vs Roos game chat • Dec 06, 2023 01:18 AM

I'm ready for the young guys to play extra minutes. I've given up hoping Nick will be a contributor.

Does anyone watch the early bowls, like the Independence Bowl on Dec 16?

Bowl game tracker • Dec 03, 2023 05:58 PM

@jayballer67 said in Bowl game tracker:

Saw Jerry Palm/CBS Bowl projections : - he has KU vs California in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport.

8 Big 12 teams in bowl : - -Liberty -- ISY/Memph - -Alamo Bowl -- Okla/Ariz - -Pop Tarts - --Okie St/ND - -Texas Bowl - - K/State/Texas A& M

Guaranteed Rate -- WV/Minn - -Armed Forces - -Texas Tech/Troy - --Cure Bowl - -UCF/Ark St

The Guaranteed Rate Bowl website already mentions WV and Minn.

I'm still remembering the E Ill game being way to close for comfort. We could have been like Kentucky

Other bball games • Dec 02, 2023 11:11 PM

Kentucky down 7 with 3 sec left and Cal calls TO. Why? Longest last 60 sec of a game ever.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Other bball games:

UK fans were convinced last night that they were the best team in college basketball, so this is funny.

They actually might be with a different coach tbh

Kentucky posters on Rupp Rafters are just having a fit. They mention all the favorable call KU gets several times. One fan wants to burn the new floor at Rupp

Other bball games • Dec 02, 2023 10:49 PM

Rupp Rafters is very entertaining this afternoon

Bowl game tracker • Dec 02, 2023 02:51 PM

So which record carries the most weight, overall wins/losses or conference record? Using overall KU's 8-4 record puts us in a tie for 3rd with KST and WV. But, conference record of 5-4 puts us in a tie for 7th with Tx Tech. We'll know Sunday for sure. Why doesn't the NCAA make a big deal out of the announcements like the NCAA tournament? I guess the individual bowls want to make the announcements to their schools as soon as possible so there's no control over the information getting out.

Could someone please guard #2 Newton. The only player keeping UConn in the game

Andy Kotelnicki • Nov 30, 2023 04:14 PM

My comment isn't necessarily about Coach Andy, but maybe. After seeing Jason's nearly perfect performance against Cincy, I'm really pissed our coaches didn't start him against KState. Unless available means he can't play, why the hell didn't our best QB play in the game that means the most to KU fans in Kansas? Ballard played his best, but he's nowhere near the QB who was declared available before the game. For me, the KState game was the most important game on the schedule. Maybe Coach Lance doesn't understand how much a W against KState means to us. Even if we win the bowl game, I'll still remember the W that KU should have gotten against KState.

Chiefs season long game thread • Nov 26, 2023 10:50 PM

Also rooting for the Broncos over the Browns. Weird to be rooting for two AFC West teams to win

Chiefs season long game thread • Nov 26, 2023 05:52 PM

After the Chiefs' game, I'll be looking in on and cheering for the Chargers over the Ravens.

I really like that the young guys are in. Good for them

Shouldn't Bean be done and Easter or someone else, but not Ballard play? Don't want Ballard to lose the year.

The announcer's eating is a new low for sports broadcasting. Like a couple of middle school jerks in the lunchroom.

I don't know how they measure a player's speed, but I hope someone reports the MPH on that run. Faster than the Cheetah?

Down 18 pts. Last game of the year and going nowhere. Why would Cin attempt a FG?

Really glad KU isn't running the ball up the middle on 1st down

Clearly, Cin is set to stop the run; Bean is 6/6 for 106 yds. Please keep throwing the ball.

This slow start reminds me of last year's team. Spot the opponent 2 TDs, then try to catch up

Oklahoma St bout to lay an egg • Nov 25, 2023 11:52 PM

Big game for BYU: a win makes them bowl eligible. But, OKST tends to be a second half team and BYU hasn't scored in the second half so far today

MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT • Nov 21, 2023 02:11 AM

Oh no Bill Walton

MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT • Nov 21, 2023 01:54 AM

Should be a fun game after the close earlier games.

MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT • Nov 21, 2023 12:26 AM

IDK if it's the arena, jet lag, or not good shooters, but Zags were 6/32 from 3, 19% and Perdue was 4/17, 24%. I imagine this will be another game that Juan takes a break from shooting.

MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT • Nov 20, 2023 08:13 PM

Boo to the Syracuse coaching staff for wearing plain white quarter zips. Colorful (tastefully obnoxiou) shirts and sneakers are the proper attire for this tournament. How did they not get the message. Cuffe sighting for Syracuse.

MAUI WOWIE TOURNAMENT • Nov 20, 2023 11:54 AM

I never did see how much the Illinois game raised for Maui. I'm going to miss the high school like gym the tournament is played at on Maui. I'll look in on the early games, but will have to catch the Marquette score tomorrow.

Other bball games • Nov 19, 2023 10:44 PM

Refs really keeping Lewisville in the game. 31 FT attempts L; Tx 17
