At this point a loss to Arizona might help us with tournament seeding. Because if it pushes us up into 11-12th seed in the dance, we avoid the 1 seed in the 2nd round provided we win of course. I doubt that happens though too. The NCAA seems to enjoy seeding blue bloods having a bad year at the 8-9 line so that they can get the juicy 2nd round matchup. UNC in 2022 is a good example. The season is likely to end like the last 6 or 7 besides 2022, but if we can increase our chances of moving on past the 2nd round by being seeded lower I'd take it. Maybe they'll give us one of those extra 11 v 11 games in the dance so we have another chance to watch.

So far my end of season prediction is correct! Doesn't even make me feel better.

@kjayhawks Was that all games or just away games? I thought I'd heard something like that, but maybe not. I mean he hasn't that many opportunities to play games as unranked!

@Woodrow I assume that's me that you're referring to. Do you want to be Kentucky during the Cal years? 4-5 OAD's every year all over the NBA with nothing to show for it? I don't. But I guess I'm dumb and dumber.

Nice game Hunter.

If they miss, Coit at the buzzer for a winner, how about that for a game plan?

@dylans They frustrated us with giving up offensive boards galore and careless turnovers. We may have gotten fouled a few times without whistles.

There's hunter getting fouled again. You think he's just going to miss that pass?

@DanR That's a better attitude than mine!

@kjayhawks Just as you type that Diggy gives up that rebound.

I'm ready to take the moral victory as good enough. We didn't get embarrassed.

flop

I wish replay would show when that happens, they never do. Wonder if the ref is using his imagination sometimes.

@kjayhawks I've been multitasking tonight with paper grading so I've been barely paying attention, but I caught that moment.

Someone just posted a picture of "He kicked his leg out" when Fran said Storr did that on the 3. Storrs legs are straight up and down.

Refs heard us and it's a 7-2 foul count now.

Wish hunt was making a few of these. His FTs aren't automatic these days.

@BeddieKU23 More like cryable

I'll be honest. I never expected to be fully interested in this game. Maybe for a change we can finish one like we always used to finish these games.

Free the Zeke!

I mean arms all over hunter on that replay

Their guy ends up on floor it's a foul, our guy ends up on floor, nothing to see here, move on.

TTech torched these guys in Houston basically without Toppin a few weeks ago. I'm not positive Houston is as good as their lofty ranking, but I could be wrong.

Diggy diggin it.

We have to be tough when they just hammer us on the back and knock the ball away?

We don't stand much of a chance especially if they're not going to call the fouls on them every time down the floor.

SHut up Fran

LOL, I thought it should lets see if Self doesn't burn a TO before the first TV Timeout!

Izzo pulled an alltimer today. UW was off to a great start and Tonje had an And 1 called. Izzo started complaining and the refs took the 2 points off the board saying it was before the shot. Huge momentum swing as we didn't score and what would have been 16-4 remained at 13-4, they hit a 3 and suddenly we had ourselves a ballgame. Many big Izzo moments today. I like him as a coach still but refs really look over their shoulders at him if they know he's staring at them.

@BeddieKU23 Well in the article I read he mentioned Self and the portal bringing in guards

Labaran Philon...? in an article said backed out of his commitment last year because of the guards Self was bringing in through the portal. He's a 4 star guard now for Alabama averaging 10 pts, only 21% on 3's so he wouldn't have been better than Mayo, for long term depth Diggy and Shak may have cost us keeping him

Zeke Mayo has been getting death threats and racist messages since the game mentioned. Can't read the article but saw the headline in the KCStar.

The inexplicable meltdown in the last 30 seconds. Still had a timeout I think. Could Bill have called a quick one before Zeke launched that shot? I still want that foul called on the Hunter shot though.

This started when Hunter got fouled, we were tied. Refs no call, they make the game winning 3. Then we started making the mistakes.

I hate this team

Oh Mayo,

Travesty

first TO for Dajuan

NO

They should have put Hunt on the line last time.

We can't force them to shoot FTs. Got to foul them 3 times.

Hanni calling for a foul.

No OT, lets win this now.

@DanR If you want to read something hilarious click on his name there and go and read his comment that pops up!

I think we should find @dynomitehawk and invite him back. He brought the energy we need.

I'm scared @stupidmichael

@jay4ever He's been doing that a lot.

Game of the year for KJ

Radio says they're constantly fouling hunter

I don't think these guys are mentally strong.
