Another 3 seconds lmissed
Should be and an 1
see the guy holding Jalen on that RB?
Our ball
15-9 foul count with the team that gets all the calls on the wrong end of that one. Pretty amazing a tough Jamie Dixon coached physical squad has only been called for 9 fouls.
Hanni saying stuff being thrown at KU on the floor.
I bank my FTs all the time.
We have missed a pets stores worth of bunnies tonight.
@DanR You're right about both!
@DanR Can you criticize me too?
NCAA officials never call 3 seconds.
Lamby was in the lane for a half an hour on that previous possession
One of the great injustices in America (NCAA version anyways) is that lambkin has zero fouls after bruising and bloodying various and sundry jayhawks all evening.
@Jayblaze I think the sub was at the table when jalen made the and 1 but it's too late at that point I think.
What a needle threading, through the keyhole pass from our motor, our straw that stirs the drink
Foul caused the turnover
We can create offense so fast.
I think they ought to play shirts and skins 2nd half. We'll go skins so the official scorer will have to guess who the foul was called on and maybe we won't have any more foul trouble.
RCJH
Harris got fouled
Pissed away too many opportunities only winning by 2
@Crimsonorblue22 Congrats! Awesome fun. Is this your first? We just had our first before Christmas.
Lambkin has committed about 5 fouls this game that have not been called.
Udeh with 2 now. But why did the ref point our direction?
When everyone on the floor seems to have 2 fouls it's hard to play defense.
2 on KJ, that one was earned. Rice has a chance and blows it.
There we go again, 2nd chances
Anyone can block Joes shot
There seems to be an emphasis on keeping the ball alive on missed shots on the offensive end. We've had a lot of 2nd chance points in recent games.
Stop the presses, they called a foul on TCU. (they probably don't use presses anymore)
Fran doesn't even notice the officiating
Anyone notice JWill getting bumped on his last made basket?
5-1 on foul count. This is becoming a thing
One sided officiating. Lambkin looked like he was boxing Jalen last time down the floor
HORRIBLE CALL
@Crimsonorblue22 I think it was Udeh
Another phantom foul?
How many times they gonna remind us TCU blew us out?
@DanR I think ISU fans know basketball. Any Texas school fan base doesn't really know basketball.
correction, first 3-0 game in history
Might be the first 0-0 game in history
Lid on hoop
I know we're all excited but I'm still slightly skeptical. We got trounced for a half on Saturday. Certainly the 2nd half was breathtaking but it seems like this great team of ours still has some trouble putting together two solid halves of basketball. Some of the ESPN wants a big Monday upset scenario plays in the back of my mind as well, and of course TCU embarrassed us in our house a month ago and I'm still really taking a show me approach to 2022-23 version of the Jayhawks.
What about Texas Tech? People are like how can 4-10 in conference be on bubble, but they've got some decent wins and are hot right now.
@dylans Interesting, never heard that.
@BeddieKU23 We Badger fans developed the term Frantrum sometime in the last 10 years, so he's been doing it a while. At least a sizeable minority defend him because off the court he's apparently a really good guy. He raises a lot of money for local charities. It's a little incongruous. I want my coaches to be good guys too, but I want my coaches to win more. It'd drive me nuts.
As you pointed out he can't coach defense well. That'd drive me nuts too.
Thanks for the research on come backs and blown games. I'd commented on drgnslayrs post about us not giving up big leads. Turns out you did some research on that one too.
@Crimsonorblue22 I've not heard rumors of losing jobs or families. When his son took a leave for anxiety twitter enemies of Iowa blamed his dad. I pushed back on that one.
@Crimsonorblue22 Not sure he needs more punishment other than the ejections. He didn't do anything suspendable. Of course half of the fans find it wildly amusing!
Great stuff from our senior staff writer @drgnslayr, up for a pulitzer in sports reporting!
As a long time basketball fan I've seen lots of comebacks, and maybe half that fail. Team A will go bananas erasing a 15 point deficit. Flying around the court, much like we did yesterday in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. So often a team finally climbs the mountain and ties it or even takes a slim lead and they begin to celebrate like they've done it, they made it all the way back. Team B comes back down, and jacks a successful 3, Team B is now losing again, and it mentally deflates them to the point that they fall back into the mistakes that led to their big original deficit.
KU has been strong in these comebacks. Their resolve in not letting down is evident. They keep playing with an urgency, almost pretending like they're still coming back.
I think it's a hallmark of Bill Self teams. You rarely see them go into coast mode. Win the game is the aim and instead of playing like the football team playing a prevent defense they just keep playing until victory is assured. I'm sure someone will remind me of other blown leads in the Self era, but other than the infamous Michigan meltdown in 2013, I can't think of a major blown game under Bill Self.
