Bad 30 seconds for Storr
@DanR They were like 250 on stubhub.
@stoptheflop Hadn't noticed that but i agree. So far this is a pretty bad setup for a game like this.

The mayo to hunter show. Mayo is impressive
3 dimes already
Hunter apparently wants to beat MSU
Georgia should never get one of these games. They don't care about basketball there at all.
AJ Storr averaged 25 against MSU last season, both wins.
You can listen to a pregame on the Jayhawker podcast.
MSU doesn't deserve to be in this Champions Classic. UConn of course would be the worthy replacement and even Villanova and their success would make them more of a champions classic team. But, the school of Magic and Mateen and March success puts them in the game.
We generally breathe a sigh of relief when we get them in the Classic compared to the other two. We have a 3 game win streak against them and an 8-7 margin in wins-losses. Generally we've held the upper hand in national prominence over them for quite some time as the distance between championships lengthens.
Izzo has seen some interesting interactions with his players in recent years with players seemingly annoyed by his interactions with them. I'm wondering if the E. Lansing faithful are getting impatient with him.
The last time we played Ochai announced to the world that he was going to end the season as a champion. He filled it up with 29 points. We won rather easily and we all began salivating at the possibilities for the season.
Tonight we should prevail. Gonna be 78-70. Good guys.
@nuleafjhawk How should I retitle the thread? :)
Purdue's 7'4" freshman center gone for the season with a broken fibia. Tough news for them and they likely will drop in the rankings. Beat Yale by 8 tonight. #2 Bama only won by 8 at home over McNeese. No major upsets today as the big boys continue to beat up the little boys.
Jayhawker podcast was interesting to hear Self compare KJ to Ochai, and just go on and on about DaJuan and his great value to the team. I guess he doesn't really know his own guys. There is no way KJ is coming off the bench after listing to Bill Self today. That podcast is on IHeart Radio and where you get your podcasts. Great interview/season preview.
Another interesting part was him saying 38-40% of shots taken will be 3's this year. That is the goal. Last year was about 30%.
Utah is a mess. BYU cheer coach was knocked out by a bottle thrown from the stands during the game. Unbelievable.
Interestingly today I listened to the Jayhawker podcast on IHeart and Bill Self mentioned Josh Jackson. Just gushed about all of his talent.
I failed to mention in my player update that so far Johnny Furphy and I are tied in total points scored in NBA....0. He does have two rebounds in 3 games. Not sure who we wouldn't currently have if Johnny stayed in college but I wish he had.
My days at the bucket became much more pleasant when I discovered how to block someone. I’m sure others days at the same became more pleasant when they learned to block me! If you want to block me I can tell you how! lol just joking.
Josh was part of a recruiting era of Bill Selfs that seemed to find talented with baggage type guys. Seemingly he’s turned the corner from that
I don't get as excited about Jayhawks in the pros to be honest, but we've got some production currently. Grady averaging 20, Oubre 16, Ochai 16, Jalen um, 8 (?), Joel is becoming an enigma, finally playing Tuesday. Wiggins his usual 15 points or so. Doke, Svi just hanging on in the league. Devonte might be done in the league. Grimes seen his production go down a lot since his trade away from the Knicks. Braun is a media star of sorts getting lots of twitter noise for his 'stuff' and averaging 16 a game.
5 guys averaging at least 14 and that should go up to 6 when Joel starts playing.
@kjayhawks said in UNC Game Thread:
@wissox to be honest, he’s scares the shit outta me but they don’t have much else. Make him earn his and shut everyone else down. Crazy to think we played UNC Friday then MSU Tuesday and Dook all before thanksgiving.
Yeah, but you get scared by basically any opponent of ours.
As the hype builds towards KU-Duke in a month I'm sure by game time ESPN will be promoting it as Flagg getting prepared to take on KU all by himself and will probably be successful.
@BigBad Wow, great memories formed!
BIG 12 looking strong early. League teams only have two losses and both losses are to ranked teams. Of course Baylor got whooped, but then beat Arkansas. Got quite a few wins against ranked teams already.
@FarmerJayhawk Didn't get to watch. After their turmoil it's pretty impressive to go on the plane to Houston and put up a fight. Pun fully intended.
@Crimsonorblue22 When I see BYU 38-9 of KSU I get a bit, a lot skeptical even, that we will be successful against them.
@rockchalkjayhawk I heard the lighting was much improved which would show better on TV.
@approxinfinity No, who won?
Victory!
@kjayhawks Yes he has, I'll admit.
We were driving like 5 minutes ago. Moving it with no problem and Grimes calls for a bomb to the end zone that is nearly intercepted. Like what the heck. Killed a possible game winning drive.
Jalon that pitch and fumble. Come on.
Now a punt returner does something dumb and dives on a rolling punt? Why? Didn't hurt us of course, but, why?
Now I'm less pissed
@nuleafjhawk Haha, yes that makes me feel better since the immortal stripes granted me non pissed offness.
I'm officially pissed
These announcers want the game to be close and I guess the refs do. That's awful.
Wow, now I saw it. Brutal.
Great now we got like 10 minutes targeting review. I didn't see nothing
Disaster avoided. RUN THE BALL GRIMES YOU IDIOT
@rockchalkjayhawk Take some nyquil, get to sleep before it's too late!
This happened last year in Ames and then we bam, 80 yard TD pass like the next play! (i'm scared @stupidmichael )
They don't have enough time to complete this comeback don't worry boys.
@stoptheflop Looks like half full? 2/3rds?
Casey. Old reliable.
If you told me Daniels would be 8-17 passing midway thru the 3rd I'd have thought we'd be getting whupped
That drop hopefully doesn't loom big. OK, it won't
Minor end of half disaster, but only 3 points.
End of half disaster needs to be avoided. 31-10 sounds way better than 31-17. I really expected him to miss the FG and them score and suddenly it's only a 11 point game
7 completed passes for 234 yards. Any math whizzes out there on that average?
This is making me a little sad for what this season could have been.
