@jayballer67 I'm the AJ storr expert here! I think he'd drive Bill kind of crazy with his careless turnovers and poor decision making and indifferent defense, like in the 2nd half of an NCAA tournament game and your team needs a stop only down 6 and instead the entire JMU team runs by AJ and he gives up a dagger 3 pointer.

Now I sound like a gossip columnist, but AJ Storr's girlfriend just committed to KU's womens team. She played at Wisconsin, as did AJ of course. She's a KC native so it's kind of natural but this could help AJ decide?
But you think that's big, wait til you hear about......
@FarmerJayhawk KU hired Roy Williams!
Funny seeing them go after 'old' men when the next Bill Self/Jay Wright is out there as a 35 year old assistant somewhere who would carve his name into Rupp lore if given the chance.
@DanR I don't think Bill is going to leave because of death threats though!
@nuleafjhawk talk around here is Donovan, and nearly all pro coaches don't want to go back to college and all that it has become.
@BShark There's this about Storr. In the 2nd half UW was making a run on James Madison, cutting it to three. Made a stop and then missed what would have been a big 3 tying it up. JMU races downcourt past a jogging and indifferent Storr and made a wide open 3. Game, season over. He's not Jayhawk material.
@BeddieKU23 Saw a tweet comparing him to Doke.
@mayjay I think Huggins used to have beer during his breaks
@mayjay I think you're right, but when it comes at the end of a shot clock it's like a loss of possession as it leads to a quick and frequently missed shot.
Lynette fights back. I love it! 🐦 View Tweet
Don't know why the shot clock doesn't reset on a jump ball when the offensive team has the arrow.
@patoh3 And has gotten 3 whistles since.
Wow, an opposing coach goes out and confronts an opponent who's walking off the floor? Not many coaches can get away with that.
Sorry to put you on the spot Crimson, I just have always thought Purdue does things right, their fans are decent, high academic standards, no shenanigans that I can remember.
Uconn learning about the Edey whistle. @Crimsonorblue22 why no love for Purdue?
@wissox Where's that sarcasm font?
Since Bill Self can't coach anymore maybe Kentucky will take him off our hands.
Hard to believe the Badgers beat that team 3 weeks ago. Purdue has only lost to Big 10 teams this season. Not sure if that means anything but here they are awaiting UCONN.
@Crimsonorblue22 I'm an advocate for the cableless!
Anyone watching the Royals/White Sox? Scintillating!
@mayjay You're kidding, money? That's the answer? Hmmmm, imagine that.
@Crimsonorblue22 I have cable so it's not a problem for me, but I just don't get the logic behind it.
I know it's kind of a first world problem but not putting these games on network TV is just stupid. The women will be on network TV
@AsadZ I didn't watch the whole game and when you really don't care who wins you lose your outrage factor over calls being made!
@AsadZ If you watch the one video on twitter the people point to it looks like it was a bad call. A different angle clearly shows the UCONN player move right into her path.
@BShark Thats what I was thinking. I think he was highly touted but Jawan did him bad by not knowing how to coach a highly rated roster.
Dug McDaniel to that other school in the state.
KJ is one of my favs. Unique game. Wished his athleticism added to more rebounds, but glad he's coming back.
I'm confused. He's from Lawrence? Unless he's advanced exponentially why did he not come to KU out of HS? My view is pump the brakes on the excitement. We've seen similar kids come to us, Yesufu and his 'twin' (I could never distinguish between them) had great mid major numbers and while they contributed a little, they couldn't come close to matching their numbers in the minor leagues.
@nuleafjhawk She was runner up I just read. Could have sworn they said she was the NPOY.
Why is JuJu Watkins player of the year and not Clark?
@nuleafjhawk It's kind of a common saying in sports. It means we get everyones best shot. Funny that ISU thinks they're that team now.
@FarmerJayhawk NCAA scoring is way up. Offfensive execution seems to be in a better place. 8 teams averaged over 90 a game, none last year. 44 made it over 80 a game compared to 18 last year.
Apparently refs decided to call much less charging than in the past so maybe execution didn't improve?
@nuleafjhawk Basketball. ISU basketball fans were tweeting after they lost that the reason is since they're now the gods of the Big 12 it's like every teams super bowl when they're playing them!
@nuleafjhawk Not sure I catch your drift on ISU
@FarmerJayhawk Not sure if I ever purposely turned on a Womans game, but tonight I did, on purpose! Mulkey wore green making it easier to watch her on court antics.
@JAYHAWKFAN214 Could you just tell us what the tweets say instead?
@BeddieKU23 the knock against Dain was defense. He's kind of a cool guy, good interview and such. His offense seems pretty limited, throws his size around for position.
@drgnslayr It'd be interesting to be a fan of them and analyze if they're surprised (probably) or if they knew they had that potential and were frustrated at the way the regular season went?
@drgnslayr I wouldn't mind seeing NCState win TBH, my cousin went there and they're on the likable side of the ACC. No Bama, no UCONN in my view.
@drgnslayr I'm looking forward to the Zach/DJ matchup. Boiler Up!
UCONN isn't hatable to me. Strange even that east coast media hasn't gone absolutely over the top insane in their coverage of them.
@rockchalkjayhawk He's the most controversially officiated player I can ever remember.
As an opposing fan I see him get away with more contact than I can ever remember. If you care to watch this from the BIG championship game two weeks ago. 🐦 View Tweet?s=20. We've seen a lot of this, trust me.
On the other hand, teams with lots of bodies to throw at Zach would rather foul him, and so Purdue fans make this the focus of their rants against the refs. He's not a perfect FT shooter, so it's a decent strategy, but then the FT count piles up and fans point out the discrepancy.
Also, I didn't watch the game yesterday so not sure how it was officiated.
The beauty of the portal is if you don't like where you are you can enter it, so how about it @kuballin10?
But actually his twin bro is in the portal from Harvard
@RockkChalkk it’s April fools somewhere
Filipowski enters the portal.
@FarmerJayhawk I don't think Jesus would have been a good basketball player. Being perfect he could never foul meaning his defense would be poor. He'd have to pass up many open shots because he couldn't miss a shot and still be perfect. Being humble he might let the other team score and win because He was a champion for the leper, the demon possessed, the blind, the mute, the poor, they're the ones He wanted to get better. If he played our team he'd rebound another missed three and throw it back and say try again. A ball goes off His fingertips and instead of going to the monitor He'd just tell the referee that he touched it.
Watching Duke lose in the tournament every year is the consolation prize for when we get eliminated early.
