So much more pleasant without the troll around.

Porter Moser wishing he'd stayed in the Missouri Valley or A10 or whatever the heck they're in now.

@DanR Well it probably starts in a sweatshop in se asia...

That dude was in the lane for 10 seconds

Not Gradey!

Wilson fouled again.

@Zabudda Who's wearing down?

Oh come on mr. announcer, clean?

Wow, unbelievable

Grady hasn't taken a 3. Strange.

@DanR Don't you know no one is better coming out of the TO than Bill Self?

Rewound that watched in slow mo. Grovers swipes down right across wilson's body. No principal of verticality being applied.

McCullar dud so far.

@wissox said in Chef Dick vs Conference Traitors Game Thread:

KU got fouled twice on that possession. Wilson gets creamed and KJ slapped on forearm on his shot.

Yet it's us with 2 fouls against.

KU got fouled twice on that possession. Wilson gets creamed and KJ slapped on forearm on his shot.

Self gonna use a TO before the first TV timeout?

Is this 12 oclock eastern, central, mountain or Pacific or Hawaiin or Russian?

Jayhawks in the NBA -- 2022 • Feb 11, 2023 04:52 AM

Doke been getting some minutes this week for just about the first time all season. In very limited action, but still playing in 18 games, he's missed 3 shots all season. 16-19!! He's logged a third of his minutes in the last two games. Glad to see him getting some run.

DEVONTE GOES OFF IN HIS SPURS DEBUT!!!! Sorry for the caps, but he scored 31 freaking points and the Pelicans were hardly playing him anymore making me think he's washed up. He did jack up 16 threes to make his 6 three pointers. And the Spurs are horrible so maybe it's not too much to get excited about, but wow, 31 points!

Great BB power ranking idea • Feb 10, 2023 04:56 PM

This is great stuff. We've got the toughest league. Does this league have a team tough enough to win it all? Until Baylor and us won it was kind of the annual embarrassment of being deemed the toughest league and then no one from the league wins it all. The BIG shared this ignominy and still does and I'm hoping that league can win a title one of these years.

@Kcmatt7 I think the most shocking part of that is Louisville Kenpom 304. Every so often, once or twice a year I look at it to see the lowest rated power 6 school. It’s rare a team is even in the 200’s and to think that Louisville is down there with the lower rungs of low majordom.

Poor Jacque, everyone leaving Brooklyn.

Jayhawks in the NBA -- 2022 • Feb 09, 2023 05:39 PM

@rockchalkjayhawk Thought I saw on twitter Portland. Not hardly seeing the floor so I'd say Kcmatt7 is right.

@Jethro Reverse jinxed the Badgers. Leaving Happy Valley with a win. 5 quad 1 wins for Badgers.

@kjayhawks I hadn't thought of it like that but the NCAA has opened up a can of worms that might destroy NCAA sports someday.

@Jethro Stop looking please!

Pretty interesting that when you ask who is a blue blood the names Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Indiana, UNC are the most commonly thought of. Us and UCLA are the only ones playing at a high level right now, and of course, that's even a debatable term for our team. Students at Indiana and UCLA have never seen their team win a NC. Kentucky fans in HS basically don't remember a Kentucky championship unless they really paid attention as 6-8 year olds. So there's really only 3 bluebloods with recent success, the 2 carolinas and us of course.

It's a cautionary tale. It could happen to us. Some slippage is going to happen sometime......I think? Lets enjoy the ride now folks!! Making the tournament every year since 1990 is a record that may go unbroken for a long time in sports. It's making the postseason for 33 years in a row. We have the best arena in American sports...possibly, Wrigley and Fenway, and Cameron would have their supporters. More than half my life has been consumed by KU basketball and all of the attending fun.

Sadly the Badgers went into a swoon after Tyler Wahl missed 3 games for ankle injury and hasn't really been the same since. As much as the Jayhawks have lost since New Years, the Badgers have lost quite a few more and just look really bad right now. They're playing their way into the NIT I'm afraid unless something clicks. They have 2 wins since January 3.

@FarmerJayhawk Oh man mistakes galore from me tonight! LaGerald Vick!! The highflying human highlight reel. Sad he couldn't finish with us strongly.

@wissox Heathrow????? Spellcheck is the absolute worst. Typed that on my phone, (I'm usually on my laptop). My phone thinks @Jethro should be spelled Heathrow!

Heathrow the great finder and exposer of trolls in this Jayhawk nation which is ironic because some think he’s a troll!

I can't stop watching this clip. It's going into my brain as memorable dunks in KU history. The others that are there.
Selden against Baylor and Selden against Kentucky. Any number of Michael Vick alley oops. I know those are recent years, but those are the ones in there. I know BMac had some great ones, Doke had about a million, OChai and Braun could throw them down, but I'm having trouble remember specific ones.

@benshawks08 @BShark Thanks, I kind of figured it was some sort of paint touch, but off the bounce perplexed me. It indeed was evident last night. Credit ISU with limiting our paint touches as well. That was as good a defense as we've seen quite a while.

@BShark What does "paint touch off the bounce" mean? He mentions it in that article.

Tonight's Game vs Texas • Feb 07, 2023 04:50 PM

@kjayhawks We've received a measly 11 inches in Chicago this year. I literally haven't shoveled once.

@wissox said in Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread:

Texas just thinks they won the Super Bowl and will be so overconfident we're going to stomp them.

Wrote this when Texas pulled within one, (or tied, I forget if they tied). Not saying I called it, but, well, ok, I called it! (first time for everything!)

@kuballin10 said in Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread:

@Jethro too early troll

Bilas sucks lately he’s not been for us

Jethro been chatting with us all the way back to KUSports days. He ain't the troll in this convo.

KU fans gonna storm the court? I forgot only our football fans do that.

Only 2 3 pointers made tonight

@BShark Obviously you start them better than I do.

These guys must be majoring in acting

I think we should all just ignore you know who. Don't let him ruin our fun.

@kuballin10 No one plays with @Crimsonorblue22. Knock it off

FLOPPITY FLOPP

Saw danny M make a full court pass like that once. I was first row behind the basket had the perfect angle.

Highlight Sportscenter top 1 play!

Don't get a T here bill.

Grad3

Foul on Rice ESPN box says.

@benshawks08 Not sure what the call was. I rewatched never saw the fist go up.

Kev got pushed in the back on that play, the guy even tapped him on the back saying sorry Kevin. But alas, no call
