Wow were the 16 games yesterday fun or what? Big KU win and some sweet upsets. 16 more games today. I'm hoping Tex Tech and Texas hold serve. And that Iowa St and TCU pull the upsets. I sure didn't think Creighton looked good for the first 30 minutes of their game.
@Kcmatt7 I think this has been answered, but KU is one win away from tying Kentucky in all time wins. KU is now +3 wins over Kentucky after beating Tx S and started the season with 2,323 wins vs. Kentucky's 2327 wins. RC
How many Kentucky fans do you suppose are watching?
Hawks starting to put on a show. Southern may be tired
Good for Mitch. All Jayhawks at heart
Too many timeouts in the tournament. No way players can get into the flow
Southern looks better tonight
Tx S does look to block shots
Not one word from the TV talking heads about our game
@Bosthawk said in Texas Southern Game Thread:
I’ve got my garrett jersey on, a sextet of brew nearby, and a bottle of antacid tablets.
I’d love a blowout tonite, so I don’t have a blowout cardiac-wise :)The tourney is what it is.. #7 kenpom Kentucky went down to #107 st Pete’s. No way to predict that
Kentucky losing means nothing until we win
@jayballer67 6 blocks stand out to me. 4 by Southern and 2 by the Islanders.
Both coaches have played 10 players by the 7 minute mark of the first half. Kind of surprising.
I like KU's bracket just fine.
@mayjay Feeding Dave seems sound, but Dave never gets fair foul calls. So, feed Dave and he gets hacked until he turns it over is the likely senario.
Which player for KU will be the one willing to take the critical shot in the tournament? You know its coming; one minute to play and KU must get a basket. I remember Devonte Graham with the ball in his hands and everyone knew he was the guy who would make the shot. Frank Mason too. Somehow I can't see Ochai as that guy. He seems to disappear in games; Braun too. Who is going to be the guy with the ball in his hands at clutch time?
David McCormick was absolutely a beast in the tournament. Hacked by 2 and 3 guys everytime he had the ball in the paint. He maintained his composure and just scored the ball. RC Big Dave.
So what region will KU be the Number 1 seed?
I have to say, we really need Remy's offense even though he's a defensive liability. His scoring the last 2 games was critical to both wins.
OK I take back everything negative I complained about with JWill. He just waited until the last 8 minutes to get his 12 pts. I'll be more patient in the future.
Ochai is way to quiet. Come on man its the championship game
I’m eating pizza at home and I’ve scored just as many points as Harris and Wilson
Remy with 10 pts needs to be in. Harris 0 pts get out
Wilson and Harris with 0 points.
Wilson has again failed to show up
Kentucky v. Tennessee will be interesting. 2 PM Central on ESPN. The two teams split during conference play. I sure love rooting against Kentucky.
Wilson and Braun had fewer points than I would have expected. In 32 min Wilson was 4/6 9 pts and only 2 rbs. Braun played 33 min 4/11 for 9 pts. I sure hope these two have monster games against Tech. KU can't count on Lightfoot and Remy to carry the water every game. But I sure enjoyed their games against TCU
See the handshake line when done by class players is a very pleasant part of the game
Teahan makes me smile.
Good lord: Lightfoot with 15 and Remy with 10 bench points. WOW!
@tis4tim A TCU breather won't matter tonight
@approxinfinity Because Prison Mitch needs the rest for the Championship Game
KU is flat out taking care of the ball: 2 TOs to 15 for the frogs.
Remy is on fire. I like it
KU shooting 59.1% 26/44 FGs
Remy is feeling it
Lampkin's 3/5 and 7 pts isn't going to beat us
OK guys, KU must avoid Texas's 2nd half when they only scored 20 points to the frog's 43
Martin is filling it. Fun
9 bench points is a great start
Lampkin is in the lane way longer than 3 sec
@BShark Jayba Lampkin is only a Soph.
Freshman Dave. RC
Why are Wilson and DMac still playing?
Unofficially KU is outrebounding WV by 46 to 26.
Yes, Dave has been back to his Freshman self at the line the second half of the season.
ESPN favors KSt by 1.5. Does the losing coach tonight lose his job?
Unofficial stats show 3 KU players with double-doubles: DMac 22 and 10 rbs, JWil 17 and 13 and CB 13 and 11. WOW
Despite missing a few close ones, Dave is having a good game. At least he's playing aggressive.
No KU player has more than 2 fouls, so everyone should play aggressively.
