We're not going to lose this game. Not sure we'll win the next.
If Doke got hurt the first game of the season would we be playing in the dance?
@BShark Yeah it was strange. They had a TO too and the possession was falling apart.
Belmont screws up a possession that would have won them the game.
Belmont within one, 59 ticks left.
There's a former Jayhawk coaching on tru. I loved Turg as a player, but don't care for him much as a coach.
A foul on an alley oop isnt a shooting foul?
Kind of crazy that they've called twice as many fouls on us as NE.
@KirkIsMyHinrich That looked like NBA defense on that drive of KJ's
Our defense has actually been good this game I'd say.
Whaddya know, Dedric comes in we get an easy postup basket.
We're not sweating too much yet, but the Spartans are. DOwn 1 to Bradley with 8 minutes left.
@DCHawker You mean college basketball incompetence?
Who needs bigs when you got Dotson? :)
What is this, the JV?
Wow.
Grimes has missed 11 straight 3's if my calculations are correct.
Grimes with an airball on a drive to the rim. Or was it a pass to Dedric?
If Bradley wins, and they are my dad's alma mater, my bracket will be wrecked all the way to the final as I had them winning in my bracket.
@Kcmatt7 I admit it was close, but it seemed to be touching his hand when the light lit. Not hearing sound as I watch so not sure if that's part of their review.
My perfect bracket is now wrecked.
Wow replay officials just ignored evidence in favor of an ACC team. What a shocker.
Semi big replay review here. Will refs overturn this call when it appears they should?
I hate cheering for Minny
@jayballer73 Wikipedia has a huge list of things that KU is near the top in among all programs. Pretty interesting stuff. The consecutive weeks ranked streak is our next relatively big one to break. It will be broken provided we stay ranked through most of next season.
Too bad Murray and Marquette are the same time as our game. I would've made time to watch that just to see the dual between Howard and what's his name from Murray. Anyone who doesn't think the NCAA sets up these matchups for TV's benefit is greatly deceived.
Louisville getting away with some major trash talk right now trying to goad Minny into acting stupid. Not surprised with their classless head coach.
@HighEliteMajor I hear you on that. That second love of mine needs a good competitor in the western division.
@dylans You are right, they were good for a while.
Last week I saw Nebraska play in the BIG tournament. Miles was a blast to watch. He has a great personality and appears to be very outgoing and friendly. Just watching him interact at the before the game with the opposing coaches was cool to watch. I hope he survives and hangs on.
Good luck in the tourney ya'll but I've just got to say as in any other year this grizzled old veteran of the college game will once again dominate. You'll be looking at my bracket in awe. You'll wonder if I'm psychic or something even. I will destroy your brackets, you'll probably not even look at yours after the first weekend because you will have lost hope of defeating me. I am the dominator!
@Fightsongwriter Not sure about the Danny Nee is hurt comment, but 7 dances overall with Nary a sweet 16 appearance means a program that has never been vital. I was being a little snarky to be honest, but I never think of Nebraska basketball and vital!
@BShark Revitalize the program? What's there to revitalize? It's never been vital has it?
I hope that us, UK and UNC make it to Kansas City. That will be an electric arena for sure.
For years I griped in my own mind about people doing multiple brackets. This year I'm joining the multiple brackets crowd!
I did an RPI bracket. We are 2nd in RPI, mainly because of our strong schedule I suppose, and in that bracket, we come out facing RPI#1 Duke, but keeping to that method of filling it out Duke beats us.
@BeddieKU23 Do you think the whole AFH East thing is a bit overblown? Obviously we've had some stinging defeats there. I think it might be that the stadium is in Missouri and that state and bad basketball go together and it wears off on us.
Dang, saw the avatar and thought Jaybate was back.
@BeddieKU23 I will be too. Although I don't think we'd fare too well against UNC, a matchup with them would be a blockbuster!
@kjayhawks IDK. I don't follow it as closely as some who know as a matter of fact that Duke cheated to get him.
@BShark I have little doubt about what you said that it goes on at a lot of places.
@BShark You're proving my point. You're saying Duke is guilty. How do you know and the NCAA doesn't? That makes no sense to me.
By the way, it seems like you all just think they're picking on KU.
@kjayhawks @Kcmatt7 OK, Glad I made you laugh! If everyone is dirty, why are they just picking on us? I know technically they're not just picking on us, AZ is under fire and others, but why are they just picking on us? If the shoe scumbags do that with other schools, why did the NCAA just rule our guy ineligible and why do we expect worse sanctions to come in the next year or so? Wouldn't they be doing the same? Believe me I want it to come down on Duke and Kentucky and UNC as much as all of ya'll, but can you answer my question?
What if Kentucky or Duke isn't dirty? I've brought this up before. Our athletic department, as badgered as we've been by the NCAA would certainly be pointing out to the NCAA the dirt on the other programs. It's human nature. We get caught in something and say 'what about them, they were doing it too?'.
We like to say the NCAA is going to protect their premier programs. I'd like to say we are one of the premier programs. We're college hoops royalty. We're evidence to a lot of fans around the country that the NCAA will go after the big dogs. So part of me says if other blue bloods are dirty the NCAA would be going after them too. But they're not. So I conclude maybe they're not dirty.
@BeddieKU23 You might remember I started a thread a year ago just after the tournament where I had a conversation with a man who used to play college ball back in the day who told me Self/KU is one of the dirtiest programs out there.
I asked the question "is Bill Self dirty?". I about had my head taken off by some, but others agreed just a little bit. I don't want to say or believe he's dirty because he's our coach and I don't want to be let down with evidence that he is, if such evidence exists. If nothing else the next year promises to be interesting.
@Crimsonorblue22 I hate being caught in hypocrisy! Er, it was a spellcheck error, I was trying to type some good guy and it changed it to doofus.
Some doofus on CBS SportsNetwork just picked Northeastern to beat us. While I understand a little, I still get outraged and offended, and butthurt, and flabbergasted, and I need more synonyms, where's @jaybate-1-0 when you need him, uh am generally put in a bad mood when someone has the nerve to say some team is going to beat us.
@bcjayhawk Not really
@tundrahok Well I guess exceptions can be made...
@nuleafjhawk Imagine the hype Wilt would have gotten if there was an ESPN back then! Danny was great but Wilt was a once in a lifetime game changer.
@approxinfinity Thanks. My comment was really directed at the original post because if we want to grow our page here we need to be clear about what it is that we are posting. I read that and had little clue what he was talking about. The picture helped some. Grown men calling other grown men piggy, or squeaky or ratface doesn't add to this site in my opinion.
