“I think he's a really great player, but I don't necessarily feel like my hands are full,” Thomas said in Clemson’s locker room Thursday afternoon, when asked about defending KU’s largest post player. “I play in the ACC. You're playing against top-quality bigs every game. I mean, I'm from Texas. I've played AAU since 7th grade. You see 7-footers all throughout basketball. And we'll just be ready to play tomorrow.”
Welcome to the B12 Mr Thomas. You ain't in the ACC anymore Nancy.
They may have egg on their faces at this point.
VICK - Newman - Graham...cylinders
Throttle Down
Go get'em Huggy.
OK guys...let's put the throttle down and put a W in the column.

I would love to stuff a pie in Barkley's stupid face. How does he work is beyond me.

What was that KU pie?
Winning pie

OK... I can't take this halftime pie nonsense. Going to watch WVU.
LMAO
They don't care about which pie is winning, but which pie to eat.
Charles Barkley is a certifiable idiot.

We're going to win this game. The only question is by how much.
Agreed. I don't care by how much. A win is a win.

Everything looking up for this game: our guys are rested better than they've been all year long, including Devonte. Doke is at maybe 90%... Silvio is better than he was last week... Vick is on a definite "uptick" along with Malik... and Svi and Devonte are stable.
Everything looking up... but projection doesn't win games. Let's hope this all translates to victory!
Correction...Self says Doke is 100% and going full speed. His timing may be off a bit, but definitely 100%.
Vote for D'tae today
Night all, talk with you tomorrow during what I expect to be a great game for KU.

Loved his jacket. Takes me back to the Denny Crum days. Remember Denny Crum of L'ville?

Refresh your browser, dang autocorrect changed UK to KU. :smile:
Even auto correct knows a good team when it sees one. It's got KU all the way.

UK fans ripping Cal a new one, tired of all the OADs. Not giving KSU much credit and calling it the worst team they played all season...too stupid to realize what they are actually saying.
Sorry azz losers. I don't like ksu either, but for different reasons. They are actually ONE of the better teams they've played. Their fan base is the dumbest ever.
They need to be reminded that two B12 teams beat them this year.

Actually, if we don't win, I'd love to see Loyola go ALL the WAY and for the sister to hold that trophy. A true Cinderella story.
Come on guys...in the words of the great Emeril Lagasse...it's time to take it up a notch...BAM

I've watched that 2003 Cuse v KU game. I want some justice. I want some sweet karma for the Orangemen...I want Cuse and a victory to the F4. KU is due to turn some of those painful loses in the past into some wins. I'd put Puke up there too damn it. We are owed some victories.

Chris Webber said at around the 3 minutes mark of PJ Washington "he's not afraid of going to the foul line, you gotta love that as a fan". Yep! Sure do.
haha...the same Webber that called a TO with no TO left? haha...the fab 5 Webber? PJ Washington's FTs pretty much lost this game for uk.
Webber doesn't know a TO from a FT. How does he host games?
Look what I found...Webber being Webber and learning TOs.

LOVES IT
Dang, this is a great year for the B12. There is something about this season as a conference that gives me both Jayhawk and conference pride. It's the one year KU was totally tested under adverse circumstances. This conference win and tourney win was very special, not because of #14, but this team has developed such a chemistry and have played as one. They've really made this a special year.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk GO KU

@truehawk93 Carter was on fire, totally locked in. Looking for him to be super focused with a shot at his brackets one seed in his senior year. Carter will not be the weak link.
I hope all these B12 teams play with the same fervor they played against us. If they do, as ksu has proven, the B12 can show up. We can prove once and for all the B12 is the better conference top to bottom.

@truehawk93 it's too bad WV plays same time as us basically. Want to watch both.

Michigan is sitting pretty right now.
Loyola and ksu tells me anything is possible. This is any team's tourney at this point. Everyone has Nova and Puke, but I say one of them goes down tomorrow. I kinda think Cuse will put it to Puke.
Blown said:
well. we gotta make it now
Absolutely...each B12 team has to motivate the next. I can't wait to see Huggy and Wright go at it tomorrow. It's gonna be a dandy.
Give the purple katz credit...they did it and represented the B12 well.

@truehawk93 To each his own, but the Zona loss was probably the worst. We'd lost once all year. Powerhouse of powerhouses. Might have been known as one of histories great teams. I hated the Syracuse loss too of course.
That Zona team was the Bibby, Simon, Terry and Dickerson group? If I remember correctly. We had Pierce, LaFrentz, Gregory, Robertson, Chenoweth, Earl, and Thomas. I vividly remember, and yes the loss was hard, but you're right, I tried not to get too overly emotional. They all hurt, but some do hurt more than others.
How awesome would it be to get JR Earl and win a NC with him? It would be sweeter if it were against a Zona team too.
The question that will haunt me about Mike Lee's corner shot for the rest of my life and that game is...Would that have been a made shot? It didn't even get too airborne...eww....I'm having some nasty flashbacks.
The UNI loss stung because I was there and it hurt for a long time. I still have PTS when I hear the name Farokmenesh. I can't get his at will treys in OKC out of my mind. The rain just wouldn't stop.
I also had similar pain from the VCU loss too. Everytime I see the little bald gnome in Texas, I'm taken back to that horrible loss. Each time we spank Texas and he's heading the program, my pain is less and less.
@tis4tim The Zona loses aren't too bad. The Cuse loss with Melo hurt. I remember the block against Lee too.
San Antonio all the way

Have I mentioned how I feel about Fran?🤮💩🤬🥊
I lose more respect for this man by the comment. Every comment he makes, causes me to lose even more respect. I'd say, I don't respect his bball analysis or rep at all.

So much for consistent UNC. Auburn getting an a$$ whooping of historical proportions.
dadgumit Roy...he lost that sucker:anguished:
Absolutely
@wrwlumpy Might as well do your pre-game school work up for Clemson as our next tourney opponent.
Clemson is going from Auburn to KU. I'll be curious how they make the adjustment after blowing Auburn off the court.
Looking like Clemson by the minute. Geesh how did Auburn get in the tourney? Clemson absolutely drilling them.
I remember when Cuse knocked off three B12 teams on their way to the F4: KU, ISU, and I think Baylor?
Newman, Svi, and Vick must step up when teams key in on Graham. It was great to see passes to Newman and Svi, only for them to bury them in the net. The SH coach forced other KU players to beat them, not so much Graham. Newman, Svi, and Vick provided enough lift. Graham was bonus in this SH game. The talk of the tourney for KU is little to no dominance. I don't think KU is dominate, but they are consistent. They have learned to play 40 mins of basketball. We will never "dominate" teams with 20+ plus pts. I think Nova and Dook have fans fooled into "fools" dominance. I don't think they have those games going forward. If they do, they deserve to win it all. I don't see other teams "dominating" either. I don't know why fans think a team should show dominance to win games. It's nice, but its not realistic. The Sweet 16, E8, and F4 are the best of the best teams that have separated themselves.
KU has been a "dominating" team in the past, only to be bounced by the most unlikely of teams. I would rather play and win games with consistency, than dominance. Dominance is fleeting, but consistency is hard to find this time of year. I think UNC might be one of the other "consistent" teams too. If KU "dominated" games by 20+ pts, I would be concerned as to whether they can keep it going when it counts. The answer is not likely. I might even throw UK into the "consistency" teams. I do think UK is likely going down, because they lack shooting consistency. But they have played some grinding games since their tourney game against Tennessee.
The question was asked who KU matches better between Auburn and Clemson. I don't think it matters. KU just needs to remain consistent with their game and win, regardless who they play. I'm not even looking at the E8 yet. This Auburn or Clemson game against KU may be the game that some were expecting against SH. I don't think KU dominates, but I think this will be a great indicator of their resolve at this point in the tourney.
Newman is a man on a mission. I think he has fully realized this is it. He knows this tourney will define his game at this point. He knows this will be huge for his future at KU and beyond. Carpe Diem Mr Newman...your future is bright and now you have to seize it all. I hope he keeps letting the game come to him and plays team ball every game. He's doing great and his investment is paying dividends at this point. I'm really enjoying his game.

Vick had a pretty good game, not a Malik-like game but a good one nonetheless.
Vick seems steady and somewhat sure. I think he could have a monster breakout game. I think he's capable of having a 2-3 game type Newman performance. But if this is what he does and when needed, then let's hope he at least remains Vick-like consistent. Maybe he'll have one of those games when needed most.
Vick reached his ceiling?
Ok...Omaha here we come to the Sweet 16
