@DCHawker Helps when the other team doesnt have size and doesn't value rebounds

@rockchalkjayhawk I was afraid my sarcasm might be misread. No mistaking my second post, though: WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!🪧🪧🪧🪧🪧🪧 [Fades out singing a Wobblies' song ...]

@kjayhawks2.0 I understand your take, but Miami had things thrown at them throughout the game by their rival Ohio.

@kjayhawks2.0 Don't care about women's (smaller) basketball. Do agree that we should be All-In on men's basketball and football.

UPDATED: the standings at the top. I think if we win, we're the 4 seed in the B12 tournament and get a double-bye. Let's see what Saturday holds.

A true-ism in today’s economy. When the product is free the product is you.

I think you could circle a lot things in this one that were an issue. My main concern as it has been most the season is the rebounding. The refs were garbage and it’s starting to become major news across the country right now because what is a foul or a traveling one game is not in another. Sometimes which end it is on is completely different, they could’ve very easily called at least another 10 fouls on Arizona with how tight the whistle was for them. You guys and gals know I’ve always said professional sports in this country are rigged. I’m starting to wonder if college isn’t the same. It literally looked like KU cut it to 2 and the refs got a page or text reminding them of the spread. I think they should press have conferences after the game for officials. I mean how many of us can repeatedly do our job wrong or not all without having repercussions? The guy cleaning the ice machine at McDonald’s gets written up for forgetting to do it but officials at the second highest level of sports in this country making 6 figures have to answer to nobody.

I'm not sure what happened but we underscored Ariz by 20 points from the line. We shot okay from three but they are just better than us. DP shows his freshman self on defense and you can see Flory directing traffic getting back on defense because all our other starters are new to the system. You see other teams doing the same thing. DP shows his smarts when poking at the ball and following his shots. He moves so quickly you have to pay close attention or you'll miss it. He is shooting 47/81/41 percent from the field, line and deep. As much as he gets picked at he is the only consistent high scorer we have. Can we get tournament type results from Bryson, Elmarko and Jamari enough to get past the first weekend? We force our passes on offense and get burned by it and we should appreciate Melvin's aversion to turnovers. Primary ball handlers easily can get three or four miscues a game. We are actually not bad at ten a game. This time of year we see a lot of pretty good teams getting beat two or three times. Bill keeps stressing we have not played at the level we are capable of. Win our next two games warts and all and maybe when we get to win or go home it will surprise us. Maybe just maybe. I have thought okay we know what this team's identity looks like, but nope not yet.

@JoJoAndMe Well everyone has an opinion just like I've been and hear plenty of others , you will be all right

Actually, the broadcasters undoubtedly parked in the small parking lot adjoining the south side of the field house. Great Story: I don't remember the date, only that Cedric Hunter was playing. (The 6' guard had arms so long that he had to have his shirts specially made. 36 long wasn't long enough for Cedric.) Anyway, we were late to the game. I had stopped for a take-out pizza along the way from KC. My wife had the pizza box in her lap as I drove down Naismith Drive to the SE corner of the Field House (where crowds of people from the big lot (90?) cross the street). I spoke loudly to give the impression I was late and in a hurry. I said to the cop as I pointed to the pizza box, "Pizza for the press box!!" Without questioning me, he waved me through to park right behind the Field House. True Story. I swear!

@drgnslayr Copy and Paste!

@Jayhawk_69 a win Monday would be massive imo, and would put us right back on track, especially if our core players all play fairly well to well.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I don’t think he’s ready by any stretch of imagination but you never know. Cheick diallo was drafted 33rd without really playing and a similar build to Flory.

Sorry... I've been AWOL! I only watched 3 minutes of this game, and I'm glad I missed it. I just looked at the box score and it feeds right into a thought I've had for quite some time.... it's about Tre. Tre has been our most consistent player all year and I am very glad we have him, because he usually finds his way to putting up good stats with lots of points and some needed rebounds. I'm thinking Tre is a guy who always takes advantage of the opportunity to prosper on average defenders. But when the competition toughens up, his production dies. He scored 2 against ISU, and 4 against UA. And I noticed this same trend in other tough battles. We really can't afford almost no production from any position. This is worse than Juan. Concerning DP... it was hard to imagine him doing well in this game. Hostile environment and energetic defense. Coming off the flu. Knocking the rust off his game. And he still isn't integrated into the offense. Until he starts averaging at least 4 apg, I won't be convinced he is integrated. He should be creating even more than that! I've heard all the excuses why he doesn't produce assists and I'm not buying any of them. His assist line might not be as important to NBA scouts as his points line, but I guarantee you it is important. At this point in the season, he really can't miss more games if we hope on really capitalizing on using him towards anything near the potential. But since our depth is limited, we can still use him no matter what, but we just can't hope to get a real bump. I wasn't really expecting we would leave the Hilton with a W, but I was hoping more for a loss similar to what UH just had. To see such a fall off like that doesn't really give me March optimism. But I predicted we would lose a few more then have another team meeting like we did earlier. We've seen so much recent growth... hope that keeps going because we need more development to be truly competitive in March. I've forgotten completely about competing for the B12 crown.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Kansas Jayhawks vs Arizona Wild Cats Game Chat Mon. 2/9 8:00 CT: The local establishment I was at last night (which has $3.50 all drafts on Mondays, hell of a deal) was absolutely belligerent in the best ways during the game. Nothing compares to Mass St during Final Fours but it was crazy for a Monday night in February. Mass street is always wild on game days. We couldn’t even get in anywhere to eat Saturday after 11 am.

@rcjhdraft Interesting, never have seen that.
