"Baylor just 20 minutes away from their first victory in Allen Fieldhouse..."
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Assuming they re-open…where is it located? Mass St?
-
Yes, maybe 7 and mass?? Help? Just ate there in dec. kids like it!
-
@Hawk8086 fun place
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He might know quite a bit but he doesn’t know nearly as much as he thinks he does. There is a reason why is radio show are way down in numbers. Everyone else is sick of him too!
-
Most of us do. I don’t get why some posters have the need to criticize and second guess everything he does, even with all the success he has had…do they really thing they know more than Coach Self? Wouldn’t that be the epitome of arrogance…and… insecurity?
-
Looking at the box score…our only production was from Perry, Wayne, KO, with Lucas chipping in 9. Hardly anyone else scored much…we’re usually a little more balanced. But…whatever it takes. I also noted that Baylor had a guy with 38 mins. and 3 with 34. We only had 1 guy with 34. That had to have helped us down the stretch. Lucas was great. He was what we needed inside. Got some boards, got to the line. He was key.
-
Even a better day to see Fran just do that!
-
No question Lucas contributed big today.
-
@Hawk8086 finals boards?
-
-
-
@JayHawkFanToo to lazy to look, did we out board them! Free throws! Look how many Selden shot? Wayne got the message!!!
-
Edited my post with stats for both teams…:)
-
@JayHawkFanToo I have to add ours?
-
@JayHawkFanToo 32 us 33 them? I’m sure we out boarded them 2nd half
-
@Crimsonorblue22 we win 32-30. we were 24 for 29 from the line…smokin’…
-
Fixed it again…
-
@JayHawkFanToo Hmmm…CBS has Faylor with 30 boards. I like CBS version better…<smirk>
-
Is that image a still from a soon to be released major motion picture called “Spore Man”?
-
@JayHawkFanToo thx! Looks like our 2 % went up! I hope I never hear fools gold again! We need to have both!!
-
-
No question that the inside (non 3-point) scoring saved the day.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Baylor had 3 guys w/lots of boards!
-
They are a good rebounding team, so I guess we did well to hang with them.
-
@jaybate-1.0 it’s under
You all were right, Cliff is a starter.
-
Baylor only played 8 players, one played just a few seconds when Medford fouled out… 6 players used up 188 of the 200 minutes or 94% or available playing time.; that is one short bench…
-
In answer to the questions about whom to root for…My philosophy is to root for ISU since they are the home team…if they win on the road that gives them an edge…but they may not lose any more games and we still get WVU at home. Either way, I’m hoping for an exhausting triple over time game. I’m not too proud to take any advantage we can get for Monday’s game.
-
I see “journeyman NBA player” written all over Rico.
-
I liked the game Landen Lucas put up.
When all else fails, go with the guy who has post fundamentals.
-
@Hawk8086 you are so wise! I go w/heart! Really dislike ISU!!
-
@drgnslayr Yep. But it beats “journeyman D League player” or “journeyman European player” Like they used to say about Fred Patek of the Royas being the shortest player in the majors…better than the shortest player in the minors.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Looks like that triple OT will not happen.
-
@drgnslayr like our man, Tarik Black!
-
@Hawk8086 maybe ISU will shoot and miss their way back out of it!!

Lucas seemed to be a pretty good match up inside
I’ve definitely changed my mind about Lucas. Used to cringe when he got the ball and now I’m happy to see him come in. Moving that big body better under the basket, 5 for 5 at the line and even a semi-flop to draw the third foul on Rico which he chuckled about.
Lot’s of guys stepping up Oubre looked smooth, Ellis played strong all game, and Selden started to penetrate more finally. I thought Frank looked kind of beat up again, some bad shot selections, missed FTs and not finding guys open, but offset by some bulldog hustle as usual.
Self getting lots of exposure and love today was nice too.
All in all, nice game with a scrappy, but reliable Faylor.
-
Selden made a critical 3 to bring KU within 6 and Oubre followed with another 3 to make it a 3 point game; IMHO, that was the turning point of the game.
-
He has a sweet three that’s been falling with regularity lately and really helping us in tight spots like the one you mention. AND he got to the hoop a few times and drew some contact a few other times which hasn’t been quite as regular as that long stroke has been. Great game from him and hope he keeps it up!
-
Lately, Selden has been hitting 3s at the most opportune times; hopefully he continues that streak…
-
@Jyhwk_InTigrtwn Frank did have 8 assists! He just had an off shooting day. He made 2 throws at the end, I think. Graham has not been shooting very well either. What’s nice about this team, we usually have somebody hot. Takes awhile to find it sometimes, like Lucas today.
-
I don’t know @drgnslayr, I really respect your basketball opinions and your great contributions to this site, but at least i get a little irked by our fans complaining about announcers.
I said on the JNews blog during the game the only time it’s really bothered me was Billy Packer cheering for Memphis during the 08 game.
I don’t listen that much to be honest. I thought he gave us a lot of respect today. Sure he disagreed with calls, but good grief, we all disagrees with calls! I know there’s not a mic in front of us when we do it, but announcers tell it like they see it.
Just my two cents worth for what it’s worth!
Great win by the way. I saw KU’s baseball team in person today get whooped pretty good by LSU, but it was fun nonetheless.
-
@wissoxfan83 You see the Tulane win over Cincinnati today? Three pt shot barely cleared shooters hand when the horn sounded. Could be SC Play of the Day if they don’t find something from Kenstinky blowout of SC.
-
@wissoxfan83
I only complained about that one call late in the game.
Actually, Duggy pointed out the one call where it was clearly out on Baylor under the goal, but the refs missed it.
These guys were getting on my nerves for just saying stupid things, not really about being anti-KU. Like the need for a second banner when the image on the screen showed two banners. Even my wife spouted out on that one, and she usually sits there in silence while tolerating my verbal tirades.
-
@Hawk8086 Agreed with you. Wanted to add the Douggie shorts episode.
-
@drgnslayr lol, oh man, thats just wrong.
-
@drgnslayr he drove me nuts, about calls and mostly comments, Embiids weight and worse flop… Each to his own!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think Frank got his bell rung a little bit mid way thru the first half. I saw him come away from the base line after a foul with him holding his head for more than a few seconds.
-
@Lulufulu oh yeah! Never did see what happened did you?
-
Thank you kindly.
-
@jaybate-1.0 find it?
-
No I missed it, I did hear about it. I was at the KU baseball game. It wasn’t going well, left when it was 8-1, missed a nice comeback but we still lost 8-5. KU’s starter was pretty good today until the 4th, and then when I complained about the coach leaving him in too long, the reliever totally blows the game, he was a freshman, tough place to make a college debut and it was over.
I attended last night, and we played them pretty tough. A 3 run bomb was the big difference in the game.
@drgnslayr, I missed the banners comments. I guess my point is when I live blog with the gang on JNew’s, people complain about the announcers, even before it begins. And I just get tired of it. Not nearly enough to sacrifice my membership in this fine KUBuckets organization however!
