What a pretty shot!

If someone wants to start a new thread, go ahead, it might be what we need.

Had a foul to give, should have used it.

I wonder if Bill Self made an account so he can read our comments? I wonder if he's gonna blame me?

No no no ...good shot

@stoptheflop Isn't Texas playing their third game too?

@benshawks08 What, my fault already? We're down 5, maybe 4 now!

Udeh misses his 2nd shot since November

Wilson got fouled

I wish they'd show Gradey's parents after he misses a shot like that.

Joes shot reminds me of Luis Tiant pitching for all you old geezers who can remember him.

I hope Bill was ordered by his doctor not to watch

Shaq is a large man. Met him once at LSU. He's a large man.

Bill wouldn't have been smiling there.

@DanR Is that the start of a joke?

I was making up a delicious home made italian beef sandwich and may have missed something. Where is Gradey?

DH, BP and JY all on floor at same time?

Boo, our ball.

@BShark Technically he's right. Dickie didn't say anything about making them however.

What kind of defense was that?

Too bad Dick has to spend the next two hours with the Cubs announcer. Seemed like Norm liked the anthem.

We're doomed, Fran picked us and I started the game thread.

Dang my curse on the team is already being felt.

@benshawks08 I can do that too.

@BShark Yep, lifetime ban.

I wonder how coaches feel about their league tournament? I'd guess most find it to be a bother.

By the way, this is rich.

@dylans I'll let you do that research!

But I know that since I've been breathing Jayhawk Crimson and Blue they've won 3 national championships in years ending in 8 or 2, and should have won one in years ending in 3

Texas is 18-7 since Beard was suspended. Of course I think Beards team loses that many in the tough league.

@dylans Just pointing out todays game isn't the best predictor of post season success.

@dylans But he's 'only' 2-2 in Big 12 champ years when they got to the FF!

In our FF years we've won the league tourney 3 of the last 6 times. When it was just the Big 8 we won in 86, but didn't in any of the of the FF years of 88, 91, 93. So in our last 10 FF seasons, we've only won the league tournament 4 times. I guess you could conclude todays game is not that important.

But in my mind todays game is always most important no matter what the calendar reads.

All coaches with Texas in their school name are corrupt. Today is a classic good vs. evil matchup. It's US-USSR olympic hockey in Lake Placid style good/evil.

I think Kev should sit (maybe he will anyways).

I really never thought this team would be good enough to challenge for a NC but the combo of Wilsons brilliance, DaJuans awesome floor game, and KJ recovering the lost mojo we're back to being a scary matchup for every team out there.

I'm willing to clear my good name. Although @BShark has handled it brilliantly I believe that some unfairly blame me for the last game chat I started causing us to lose. We can overcome the so called curse of Wissox.

WE GOOD

@mayjay I'll respond after I get out my dictionary and figure out what you just wrote!

OK, I get it. Not me, I'd rather listen to the humorous pontifications of a man whose countenance seems to be a tripolar oleo of humor, sober...ok, I'll give you stoned, and brilliance than hear the egotistical musings of someone who is wrong more than half the time who needs muted.

@Crimsonorblue22 I hear ya, but I need to clear my name that I was to blame for that loss a month ago!!

I'll be cheering for Mizzou for once after watching Bama fans posting this today with "Get the gat" lyric while pretending a chair is a gun. What's going on down there in Bama? If this was my team doing this I'd just have to quit cheering for them for a while.

@dylans In my case it was my father in law who just passed away this summer.

Boowa State Game Thread • Mar 11, 2023 05:10 AM

Had to watch on DVR again. A few random thoughts.

Jalen hot start, kind of felt like game over right there even though ISU did come back and briefly (once I think) took the lead before we pulled away.

Early in the game our least favorite broadcaster got some sort of award during a TV timeout. A little hard to tell from just watching but the fans sure gave him a lukewarm round of applause. Not sure if other fans don't like him either, but it seemed somewhat obvious.

End of the half a great sequence, turnover leads to a Bobby (I think) runout and a pass to a cutting DaJuan who tapped it over to ready to slam it KJ Adams.

Great to see Jalen start making some 3's again, but now he has a 4 miss streak after making his first 3 early in the game.

Courtney Ramey just made a 3 for Zona. Seems like he's got to be 30 years old if this is the same Ramey that played for Texas.

I thought our defense was outstanding.

Kev should sit tomorrow and against whatever 16 seed we play next Thursday or Friday.

Would you trade Fran for Bill Walton?

We should recruit Gianni Cobb, an all state player in his division in Illinois. I taught him. I'd love to see him wear the Jayhawk uni!

Wisconsin fans still say the Badgers beat KU because Zach's foot was touching out of bounds when he tapped the ball out to Bobby (or was it Joe?) for the game winner. It was really close, but it was never reviewed.

High school playoffs, NCAA D3 tournament Wheaton (my wife, my dad, and my daughters all graduated from there) playing in the quarterfinals tomorrow against some guy named Christopher Newport, Conference tournaments, selection Sunday, the great visual spectacles of the Players Championship (talking golf now) and the Masters, All day madness for four days in a row a week from now, brackets, Cinderellas, (I once had a student named Cinderella), and then to top it off almost simultaneously with the last day of the season, MLB starts up and now ends approximately the day we play FT. Hays, or Emporia or Topeka YMCA in a warmup game. They call it March Madness because my wife is mad because she can't watch any of her shows! Then Easter! And then, at least for those in my profession, Spring Break!

See you all tomorrow, I'll finally be able to live chat a Jayhawk game. Maybe @BShark will let me start the game thread!!

@jessejayhawk said "Juan is like an STD, just really hard to get away from him". Come on man, would you like to be compared to a STD and have it be considered something positive?

As for the Dick jokes, just a reminder it's also a name people have and whom we love. I know it's going to be used forever now as a crude term, but it's also a junior high joke that adults think they're being clever saying them.

@Jethro If you miss him he can be heard on the B10 network basketball studio shows!

And next year we 'welcome' cheater Kelvin Sampson back into the conference.

@mayjay Today, my guide says ESPN2, but the ESPN page says ESPN. Recording both channels just to be safe.

Jim Boeheim's Corpse Retires • Mar 10, 2023 12:27 PM

@mayjay I need no permission to hate him. Being doing so for decades!

Microwave Joe Game Thread • Mar 10, 2023 01:27 AM

Good thing for ESPN+ today. My guide on directtv said ESPN2 so I recorded, got home after soccer practice and grilled up a burger with zatarans cajun seasoning and settled in to watch the....uh...duke game?

Maybe he should take whatever that spammer was selling on our site this morning.

Microwave Joe Game Thread • Mar 09, 2023 05:23 PM

who's gonna lose to us today? I honestly don't know.

Jim Boeheim's Corpse Retires • Mar 09, 2023 04:49 PM

I'm still afraid of getting my mouth washed out with soap gosh darnit all.

Jim Boeheim's Corpse Retires • Mar 09, 2023 12:11 PM

If it was a contest he's sleazier than K.

Jim Boeheim's Corpse Retires • Mar 09, 2023 12:08 PM

The odd event of us missing 18 of 32 FT's and an injury to Wayne Simien also gave him a ring that he probably didn't earn.

@Jethro 2 bucks on stubhub got me in the 2nd row. They just let everyone sit where they wanted. Badgers down 27, got it down to 4 but obviously couldn't get it finished. NIT it looks like.
