How can Providence play this long and only pick up 2 fouls?

I hate refs
How have I been watching college basktball since Naismith and never seen a cylinder call until the last month?
@bskeet Mozart like, or um Rembrandt like, painting whichever was a painter
Dave has to get that rebound
Of course we had 2 points and a possible FT taken away by incompetence when Braun got called for the charge.
Providence has taken some really ugly shots. They only have 8 points in 12 minutes.
JWil with 6 boards so far, and almost had another
@jessejayhawk He probably should have tried to catch it.
@Crimsonorblue22 OH, it was a miracle. The union forced a change and so it was last night and this morning!!
Can't believe this game is 17 miles away and here I am in my living room.
Ochai has 3 blocks already according to ESPN box and the team has 4
@jessejayhawk That's a private question not suitable for this forum
@jessejayhawk It sent my wife into hiding....from me!
@benshawks08 You can't expect me to be objective can you?
Horrible refs....agin. Dave's getting creamed inside. Providence dude falls in the lane and sits there for 6-7 seconds. The offensive foul call on Christian was offensive
I can't get 1986 FF out of my mind when that cheater scammed us out of a chance at a NC. 26 fouls against us, 14 them. We lose by 4. If twitter was a thing then......
Where's the hand check fouls?
Nance yells for every duk basket and just matter of facts it for Techs
I respect Zags. Done an amazing job to go from the miracle mid major against Zona to a near NC.
As @Jethro writes, Stephen is pronounced Steven. I too am a leading authority on the subject. In the greek our name means crowned one. For the last 10 years or so of my teaching career I've had students who see my first name on ID's or whatever tell me or ask me if my name is steffen. I first of all say my first name is Mr. to you and if we were on a first name basis it'd be Stephen with the V sound. They then tell me I'm saying my own name wrong, even going so far as one kid telling me my parents spelled my name wrong. One school I was new in the secretary was not familiar with who I was and paged me over the intercom "Miss Gantz". I guess she thought I was a Stephanie?? LOL, fun name moments.
Provided we win Friday, I'm hopefully going Sunday. KU-Miami will provide the best chance for lower ticket prices. Not spending too much though, but I pay attention to these things and those tickets will be considerably cheaper than Friday.
I think we’re gonna win but have zero fun in doing so
@Jethro OK sir, you can stop making fun of the BIG. Illinois just took out the SEC tournament champs Tennessee.
@wissox Or not. refs somehow saw on replay VT touch the ball
Vermont with a chance here to tie or defeat Arkansas
"his cousin is Mike Conley of the Jazz" Mike Conley Sr. was in HS when I was and he played basketball against our HS. We had a great team and beat them in our gym, but they ended up winning state. Mike Sr. then won state for his school all by himself in track winning the 100, 200, long and triple jumps. He also knew how to dunk.
Good Lord how much would St. Peters have beaten us by? 1/2 of my national final bracket is gone! But my other half is still RockChalkin. And seeing Iowa lose like that. Iowa fans are such jerks, kind of like ISU fans, must be something with all the pestacides that they spray there makes em all come unhinged.
@DanR I've developed an almost Missouri like hate for Iowa basketball. I actually grudgingly respect their football coach, but man oh man how tiresome that hoops coach and their team is. I feel sorry for Keegan Murray playing there. Maybe he'll use the portal and come to KU!
For those discussing Wisconsin they hadn't lost one game you'd call an upset til Nebraska surprised them, which they played largely without Johnny Davis. Badger fans been drooling over Milwaukee/Chicago regional ever since it looked like they were going to be a top four seed. In games decided by 6 points or less the Badgers had won 15 straight this season until, again the mess up against Nebraska. That stat is a reason I guess for the relatively poor ken pom thing, but when you keep figuring out ways to win close games it's a sign of toughness. This team is actually a really tough team from my partially biased observations. They played a tough schedule, beat highly seeded teams Purdue 2 times, 11 other wins against tournament teams. I wouldn't be surprised to see a KU-Wisconsin regional final.
Iowa hasn't been to the sweet 16 since 1999. Haha, suck it Hawkeyes. Their fan base right now thinks they've been to the FF about every other year in the history of basketball.
@BeddieKU23 I'm gonna try to get there for regional finals. Got stupid parent teacher conferences (yes on a Friday night) so regional semis no go for me. United Center, 19 miles away!

Of course I’m a bit biased but calls for Gard to get suspended are unwarranted. I was on a little road trip and listened to the game and have yet to see the fight except on tiny screens. Krabbenhoft was the asst who got slapped. He’s an all time beloved Badger glue guy type that we all would have revered had he played for KU. One Badger reserve punched someone who knocked down the other assistant coach. One MVP of the fight is the worst college player I’ve ever seen (seriously his garbage time minutes are horrendous). Higginbottom is his name and he made sure Johnny Davis got nowhere close to the scrum.
@mayjay I don't comment here anymore, but do read still. This stuff aggravates me a lot. I'm actually rather conservative, but these 'teachers must post all materials' bills are really ways for the people pushing them to make sure no one is teaching critical race theory. I've never heard of a teacher teaching CRT, and if they did, they're teachers, they present materials that students can learn and form opinions on. I really just frankly think this stuff is a horrible overreach by legislators and teachers will leave the profession at a faster rate than they already are. I couldn't even comply with a law like that as I'm kind of a last minute kind of person and my best lessons and plans are frequently done in the days leading up to the lesson. In other words I procrastinate!
I miss commenting but there's way too many irksome people to me to find any pleasure in it right now. I like the Jayhawks and a lot of people commenting don't. So I'll just read so I know what's going on. I never had much good to say anyways!
@kuballin10 Hey get lost. You do nothing but badmouth this team. The others I can tolerate. It figures you show up today in this chat after we're losing by 10 or so. You're just a troll. Tired of your tired old act. Everyone else is too.
@DanR Thanks, But I can't. See you next game.
You guys are the most pessimistic fans of a 5th ranked team I've ever seen.
We might as well just forfeit
@DCHawker He's known for calling it early. He's the one who called the 48 election for Dewey over Truman!
So you're allowed to elbow a guy in the face to clear space.?
Yes I'm aware
Trisha or whatever his name is doesn't know how to win in this building. Looks like TV Ted was one of those refs? That's always interesting
Lets Geaux KU
Well they'll never show it on ESNPNews, they're showing a game of tag on there.
Of course ESPN may just preempt coverage of our game for talking about TB retiring, which really, what is there to talk about.
Hoping they don't start it on +, don't want to miss a second of this one.
ESPN really baffles me that that don't allot 2:15 to each of these games.
@focojayhawk Jeff George? You mean the guy who got hurt his freshmen year at Purdue and his mom ran onto the field?
I suppose it's a challenge schedule wise. And then teams go on streaks. Baylor/Bama looked like a good one until Bama took their annual swoon.
Weird post
