@nuleafjhawk I had to google it!

@nuleafjhawk They get an additional 8 minutes per game (four 12-minute quarters). That's equivalent to 88.0 points in a 40-minute game.
Jackson 1-3 on free throws in the last minute. The last one finally went in, to win the game. Scary to have to rely on that, though.
Svi often forgets he is 6-8.
@Crimsonorblue22 Guards don't box out. 4 of them around a Tech big, just watched him get the board and put back.

Also, I wonder if they will just start inventing their own sports and tournaments and locking in contracts with sports before they are big, then growing them with coverage. (Ex ESports)
The Netflix model! Start generating content, not merely broadcasting it. Might work.
@approxinfinity Good point. It's an issue with television in general. Increasing options for electronic entertainment have hurt TV viewership and revenue. The whole industry is declining. Putting every single game online, so people could choose games to watch that they are most interested in, might work. They just need to figure out a way to make that profitable. Maybe get schools to film their own home games, and pay ESPN for the feed? A lot of us mute the broadcast anyway. We don't need no stinkin' announcers!
@approxinfinity ESPN is a business. They are driven by revenue, which is based on advertising, driven by viewership. Being biased in a way that favors viewership earns them more money. The Duke fan was right.
The path out of the darkness, for us, is to increase the number of KU fans who will watch KU on ESPN. Shift the bias towards us. Or encourage more people to move to the midwest, Big 12 country, so there's a bigger market and more advertising revenue to be gained. Even coverage and fair play have nothing to do with it, unfortunately. It's lovely to think about, but unlikely to succeed. 3.5 billion years of evolution has selected for individuals acting for their own self benefit.
@brooksmd Maybe Frank's right shin hit the guy's right foot? Looks like the foot flopped out and back, but it's a bit blurry.
Or maybe I've just been drinking.
Markieff has grown a nice beard.
Graham our leading rebounder, with 7
@stoptheflop They switched, and we only have 1 big.
Ankle is worse than nuts. For the team, anyway.
We probably won't come out overconfident 2nd half.
@HawkChamp Just recognizing the home court advantage in the Big 12.
His toe was still down. Game over. Switch to KU!

@truehawk93 so i'm confused by what they said about longest front court in the nation... they counted wainright as front court. Isn't SF considered backcourt?
In the olden days (my youth), when teams played 2 guards, 2 forwards, and a center, I think the guards were the back court and the center and two forwards were considered front court.

Colby with 6 RB's.
Needs to still be stronger with the ball, but....
6 rebounds in 6 minutes. Not too shabby.
Coleby was the first sub off the bench tonight, before Vick. Unusual. Self may have sensed something was up with Vick.
@Crimsonorblue22 Not even on the bench?
Let's get a rebound.
@DCHawker We hit 45% from 3 in the second half (5-11). Let's just ignore the first half.

KU's best chance tonight is to play slow with a low number of possessions to minimize Kentucky's depth advantage.
Jesse Newell: "KU’s best hope is to run at every possible opportunity"
Is Lucas' wrist taped up? We don't need another wrist injury.
@Eric-san 6-0. Can't consider anything else.
@JayHawkFanToo He doesn't. He was making fun of himself, and that evaluation he made last year, during the first half tonight.
Officials: John Higgins, Gerry Pollard, Jamie Luckie
Is this our first game with Higgins this year?
@Crimsonorblue22 The flop was just silly, came before there was any physical contact, just a response to something Landon said.
Sticks and stones. You can talk all you want, but you can't shove a forearm into the other guy's chest. That's why he got the T.
@DoubleDD The shot clock is not reset if the ball is intentionally kicked with 15 or more seconds on the shot clock. Otherwise, the shot clock is reset to 15 seconds.
Courtesy of google.
@DCHawker Call attention to it every time, and maybe it will. But we might not have enough timeouts!
@DCHawker And Self called a timeout so he could explain that to him in great detail.
@brooksmd Will that make Baylor the #1 team next week (assuming they win over Ok St)? Scott Drew, the top coach in the land. Yikes!
@stoptheflop Yep, Staten took at least as many steps as Svi.
Great response to any complaints about the end of the game last night. It happens.
@Texas-Hawk-10 With 2 potential NBA rookies of the year, that team sure could have been championship caliber. If they had played like NBA rookies of the year while at KU.
The only one&done we've had who should be drafted based on what he CAN do, based on what he COULD do, is Josh Jackson. He plays like a veteran overall, other than his youthful gaffes on occasion.
I miss the days when potential had to be demonstrated, instead of merely imagined.
That call was weak.

@tundrahok not a good game, so far for Frank
5 TO but only 2 assists. That's backwards.
@wissox Math is hard.
@wissox What a story. They should make a movie.
@wissox 1st of 3 times that year, but we got them all back.
@wissox Yes, Frank's spending less time on the floor this year compared to last. I haven't been cringing nearly so much.
@Crimsonorblue22 Big 12 road games are always tough for freshmen. Even superstar freshmen. He'll come around.
Lucas is just a slow starter. Takes him a half season to warm up - 2 years in a row.
@HawkChamp Lucas has 10 rebounds in the first half. Bragg has 6. Pretty studly.
Frank now has 724 votes (31%), tied for first with Monte Morris. We need to vote more!
I wish my buddy whose feed I'm stealing got ESPN News.
@ralster I like your interpretation of his photo. Who smiles in a mug shot?!? I was thinking he was just clueless, and couldn't help but ham it up in front of any camera, regardless of the circumstance, but the sarcasm interpretation is more palatable, and more fun.
