That’s all they are going to show about our win?

Took them awhile, but doing it now. Filling up time before the next start.

@Zabudda said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Two teams ND and Cuse kept coming at us over and over and they’d get it to five or seven but we fought them off with a team that has only played a few games together. Impressive. These types of games probably will pay dividends. Flory what the heck you are playing like a top AA and turn it over seven times.

While Flory did have 7 turnovers, he only had 2 fouls. I’ll take that trade. Keeps him on the floor.

14 rebounds is pretty good too.

Bidunga, Tiller and White is a pretty solid front line. 49 pts and 25 boards among them.

Duke Coach Jon Scheyer blamed Cooper Flagg for Duke’s Final Four loss.

AI is getting good

@FarmerJayhawk I like him better when he doesn’t talk.

The upside of having feet of concrete - Dickinson sets a mean screen. Little guys bounce off him.

Good start.

@dylans Bit of both

Adams 9-10 FT tonight. Wouldn’t have predicted that a couple of years ago.

I’m starting to like Rylen Griffen. That hug he gave KJ with his head snuggled onto his shoulder was adorable.

@wissox said in Lets go 3-0 on the new season:

I wish Flory could make FTs

Glad Mayo can.

@wissox Just realized I’m watching K-State-Baylor women.

Sure is nice when shots are falling.

@wissox He has a lot of energy, too. Bouncy.

@DanR said in Tonight's game:

@approxinfinity He’s international, so no NIL. Might as well move on and make some $$

He played 3 years of high school in Indiana, so he’s probably a permanent resident by now. Reportedly, his NIL deal is worth $530K this year.

@dylans I quit drinking a long time ago, but watching these guys feels just like a hangover. A bad hangover.

I just started this season.

Intentional

@wissox They clearly traded up.

@rockchalkjayhawk Rylen started and played 5 minutes. Only stats were 2 turnovers. plus/minus was -7. But everybody started slow.

@approxinfinity Not just sometimes. Usually. He does sometimes have an original idea that’s interesting. But then he tags on the same old Juan or Self bashing, which negates anything positive or novel he might be trying to contribute.

I am hopeful he might someday share an insight that is worthwhile, without adding all that familiar negativity, which is why I haven’t blocked him. But I usually just have to scroll past rapidly when I realize it’s the same diatribe that has lessened the experience of so many on this site.

So don’t feel bad. Your pic was appreciated, and good advice. Engaging just seems to make it worse.

Weak call

@SlimShaddy54 But Baylor isn’t.

Rebounding could be better, if we’re looking for something to improve on. Mayo is our top rebounder with 4, matching our 3 bigs combined.

@Crimsonorblue22 yes, we got Fran

If Griffen and Storr take turns being good from game to game, I think I’m ok with that. As long as one of them is on.

@Jhawk69 Sorry, not that kind of Canadian.

Merely anglophone

@drgnslayr Since moving north of the border I’ve become bilingual. I can now speak both Canadian and American.

@approxinfinity Now that you’ve noticed, you’ll see it a lot. Pb gets used as a past tense verb all the time.

Ahead 25-15 rebounds. That’s something.

@BeddieKU23 said in Feeling the Fieldhouse magic?:

Well I’m glad we got 5 more minutes this was fun

Yes, but I would have been ok without even more fun.

@tundrahok said in Feeling the Fieldhouse magic?:

Griffen starts OT over Moore. Unexpected.

I’m no longer confused.

Yes!

Griffen starts OT over Moore. Unexpected.

Nice pass!

@patoh3 We traded up.

@approxinfinity You’ll love this stat. Flory is +27. Hunt is -2

Shooting helps too. 1-7 from 3 first half, 5-10 2nd.

Storr played some D, got rewarded with a putback.

I like that.

@wissox Flory has 2 fouls

Frank Mason was pretty stoic. Didn’t express a lot of enthusiasm, but players still rallied around him. Especially as his awesomeness increased. BIFM!

@SlimShaddy54 Roy left.

@Jhawk69 Historically, KJ has not been a good rebounder. But he’s been trending up over the season, rather significantly.

In the 3 games before he got hurt, KJ averaged 7.7 rebounds. It’s disappointing it’s taken this long (4th year), but if he can keep up this pace, and average 7-8 boards per game here on, I think that would reduce a lot of the criticism he’s been receiving.

I’m not smart enough to figure out how to upload an image here: 

But the increase in his rebounding rate looks nice.

Oops, that was a link to here! Here’s the link to the box score with +/-

All the starters are +9 or better. All the bench is negative.

@dylans said in KState game thread:

Does anyone have the +/- stats for the Jayhawks? I’m curios what Storrs would be.

-8

Rare Kansas turnover. I like that phrase. The rare part, anyway.
