Just gotta stay aggressive and keep attacking.

And the rout is on …
@Marco said in WVU Game Thread:
Is this really necessary? A social justice message at the half?
MLK was about EQUAL justice not social justice. His message has at times been hijacked and mis-applied but his words always ring pure.
I feel good about this game. We’ll get things ironed out in the 2nd half. As long as we bring the scrap and the chip we good as @BShark would opine.
@Marco said in WVU Game Thread:
14 of 15 freethrows for WV. How many times have we been to the line?
We’re 2-5 from the line.
Get Braun going and Och get on a roll and we win by double digits.
WVU +10 FT attempts and Och and Braun haven’t really got rolling yet. And we’re still up 2 at half.
Was Braun talking crap as he was going in for that layup? Lol.
@BeddieKU23 said in WVU Game Thread:
5 pts between Agbaji and Braun. That has to change.
Now 10
I need to complain earlier!
Och heating up.
5 pts between Agbaji and Braun. That has to change.
Time for a run…
Uh, Mitch!
Mirch!
Stay aggressive and good things will happen.

Have we done anything right? Can’t tell from the chat
A few ill-advised shots but we look engaged and playing with purpose. I like what I see so far.
Good hustle by JCL
Scrappy! Love it.
Gotta make that.
Min w/out FG?
Welp as soon as I say it …
Looking pretty decent thus far
Dial it in and dial it up Dave.
Jeez my feed is way behind you all.
KSU just beat Tech.
Where’s @wrwlumpy? I always look forward to his pre-game photoshoots.
Serious question: does marketability factor into NBA draft rank? I think #12 is high for Ochai, but boy is he a well-spoken, intelligent, likeable dude. He could do wonders for the PR of any team he is with and they would be fortunate to have him.
Does anyone remember when the producers of Monday Night Football brought in comedian Dennis Miller to be a color guy? They thought his quick wit and somewhat irreverent approach would be great entertainment for viewers. Not long after, he was told to tone it down and not speak so much, pretty much negating the entire point of bringing him into the booth in the first place.
This is kind of how I feel about the Remy situation with Self. Why bring in this charismatic, free-wheeling shooter then force him to play within a system that pretty much neuters his strengths? I get that Self is a defense-first guy, but you have to let guys be who they are to some degree.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in IARP - KU seeks alternative resolution:
But remember this is the NCAA, so no right to a speedy trial. No 6th amendment protection here. Sucks.
Totally agree and that was sort of what I was trying to illustrate - that we all have protections under the Constitution, but here we have a slow, and highly suspect, bureaucratic governing body with no checks and no balances that can essentially operate as they see fit with no repercussions. They pick winners. They pick losers. And they have no willingness to apply rules fairly across the board. The NCAA is starting to make the IOC look like choir boys.
Enough is truly enough. Just make a decision so we can move forward - whatever direction that takes us.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in IARP - KU seeks alternative resolution:
Negotiated resolutions were not supposed to be an option once a case enters the IARP.
Yes, but my feeling is KU, like the rest of us, are sick to death of the foot-dragging on the part of the NCAA/IARP.
Even murderers and other scofflaws have the right to a fair and speedy trial under the 6th amendment to the Constitution. I would submit this charade has been neither fair, nor speedy and we are being held in a perpetual state of incarceration.
@mayjay can probably chime in more on the legal aspects of this stuff, but from where I sit we are being treated worse than most criminals.
@drgnslayr said in Red Raiders:
The big plus out of this game is seeing Wilson somewhat return to form. I’m thinking he has earned a starting spot again and will probably become one of our more consistent players.
Admittedly, I've not been a big fan of Wilson's. Something about his demeanor makes him seem sullen and detached. And while it was nice to see him make some shots, his showing the other night is still an outlier in my book, until he proves he can string some good games together.
Hate to be so negative, but if he is to return to the starting line-up it is only because some of the others have played so poorly of late, not because Wilson necessarily earned it with a single decent performance.
@BeddieKU23 said in Bill Self "growth stunter":
Definitely missed him in this stretch of Remy being injured.
Agreed. I know @BShark was high on this guy from the start and in the limited time I've watched him, I think he has "it". Every move seems to have a purpose and he seems to ooze confidence. It just feels like something good is going to happen whenever he touches the ball. Looking forward to getting him back and giving us that spark we've been missing.
@benshawks08 said in Bill Self "growth stunter":
I feel like Remy is that guy this year but he’s currently injured. I had hopes that Braun could step up and do it but he hasn’t consistently. We’ve known Och is to cool calm and collected, Dave is too wild, Mitch is too old (jk), and Harris just isn’t it.
I think Pettiford is that guy. Can’t wait to see him run this show.
Enjoyed it, everyone. Have a great night!
Jeezus call a foul!
Can we please settle down and run something that looks like an offense?
Ha ha still have 4 to give.
Looks like a 15 point lead doesn’t fare much better.
Jeez. I should have asked for a blowout win right at the start of the game and all this could have been avoided.
Can we please hit a three and avoid a 14 point lead?
Wow. Ticky tack
Was going to say we have to hit our FT down the stretch but we may not get any!
These fans lol.
JCL was too close on that last attempt
JCL!
Without 20 straight misses we’d be beating these bums by 20+. With our history here I guess I’ll take the “W” however we can get it.
JCL!
