I wouldn’t have guessed Wilt has the KU record for free-throws made in a game (18). Wonder how many attempts he had to get that?

RE: SEND TEXAS TO SEC WITH A BIG AFH LOSS
There may be a way for international student-athletes to earn some NIL, with passive engagements that don’t require labor, and so don’t violate their student visa. It’s just a matter of getting creative. I’m sure KU Athletics has some pretty creative folks.

His brother Marcus was even better.

Why did the coaches dress up for this game? Jackets at least.

RE: Land Thieves Shooty Hoops
@BeddieKU23 Remy did great in one post season, but for overall impact, I wouldn’t put him in the same category as the other 2.

Just read this is the second sellout in UCF history while playing in this building
Welcome to the Big 12.

RE: KU vs UCF Game Chat
I also took my kids there to see the Harlem Globetrotters, when Mike Lee played for them. Screamed for him when he was introduced as a starter and they said he played at KU. It was a small afternoon crowd, pretty quiet, and my kids were embarrassed. But Mike pointed at me and gave me a big smile. That was fun. My kids might disagree.

RE: KU vs UCF Game Chat
I went to a couple of games in this arena when Marcus Jordan (Michael’s son) played for UCF.

RE: KU vs UCF Game Chat
Remember when UCF nearly knocked Duke out of the NCAA tournament a few years ago? Came really close, twice, should have won. They had some freakishly tall player. Not athletic, but nearly 8 feet tall.

@nuleafjhawk only the throws are free my friend the points come at much cost
Syracuse 2003 still hurts.

Idk I’m a big Ben McLemore fan. Who would’ve stayed longer with NIL.
He was also here 2 years, after redshirting the first year due to eligibility questions. Not the typical 1-and-done because he sweated in practice for a year without the glory of the spotlight. So I’m a fan too.

So does Ballard lead a drive into history books or does he throw another pick?
I would have preferred the other one.

RE: What to Expect at the Champions Classic?
It wasn’t Furphy’s night. Imagine a teenager, recently arrived from another country, on that stage. He seemed overwhelmed, and his stats reflect that (no points in 12 minutes), especially after what we saw in Allen. We know Self values experience, and I’m sure he thought his balding slow old guard could handle the pressure a bit better (mentally) than a kid who oozes talent but needs seasoning. Furphy will get there.

RE: What to Expect at the Champions Classic?
@Crimsonorblue22 Sorry, I thought you were asking if Kevin’s was the first triple-double by a KU player. Blocks didn’t become official stats until 1985, so Aldrich had the first certified triple-double by a KU player in 2009 (with apologies to Wilt and Born, at least). Withey’s was in 2012. Have we had any since then? I don’t remember any. Maybe Kevin is the first with assists? Pretty cool, regardless.

@rcjhdraft Timberlake has played 8 minutes. His +/- is -18. Defense matters.

RE: Puerto Rico!
@Texas-Hawk-10 Then obviously the answer to your question is no. Because they are not flying internationally.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Puerto Rico is a US territory. Not international.

RE: Scoring leaders (offseason topic to fill the time)
Jalen Wilson’s highest scoring games this past year were KU losses. One guy scoring most of your points isn’t a path for success. On a stronger team, with better teammates, I’d predict the point production of higher scorers from lesser teams should go down, in general.

RE: The Bench Theory
@mayjay That’s why I’m not on social media! Try to keep my stupidity to myself.

RE: The Bench Theory
I think the bench can develop during practice. Imagine what kind of pressure those new guys must feel, to play in Allen Fieldhouse in front of all those fans, and on ESPN all the time in front of the entire country. I really think Bill is trying to save them from embarrassment, in addition to winning games. I heard him once make a comment about that. He knows the players feel the pressure, especially when they are new and clueless. They can develop during practice, in a less public environment.
I know I sure prefer to be stupid in private than in public.

RE: Texas game chat (danger I'm 0-1 in my last game chats)
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Texas game chat (danger I'm 0-1 in my last game chats):
I like how Norm uses the bench. Nice to see some guys get minutes. A bit sad to see that neither Bobby nor MJ have a clue though. Honestly, how can Bobby be this bad? I wince when he has the ball.
I think we see why Bill uses the bench the way he does. We just don’t have one. He doesn’t want them to embarrass themselves on national television.

RE: Mark Adams Resigns
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Mark Adams Suspended:
I have so many questions. Do they usually quote scripture? Was it normal? I know Baylor is a Christian school, but quite a few schools pray. I think J will leads prayer for us. We have Wayne for counseling. Kevin might know if this is normal. The passage is out of line, but working with these kids he should know that. Spitting is hard to believe, just gross.
Apparently their administration has lots of questions too. That’s why they they opened an investigation and he’s just suspended, not fired. Yet. But given the other issues that have come out, I suspect they will have a new head coach next season.

RE: Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread
@COHawk In the NCAA tournament, there is no tomorrow. It’s win or be done, unlike yesterday. I’m not worried. We got beat by a top 10 team in their own arena, on their senior night. They were amped, we were not. We will when it matters. Yesterday really didn’t matter. We should be the number 1 seed in the midwest. Being the overall #1 seed would be nice, but wouldn’t affect anything. We really didn’t have anything of substance to play for yesterday, and weren’t engaged. We will be engaged in the tourney.

RE: Big12 strength
@cragarhawk UCF is the largest school that few have heard of. They have been the top 1-2 schools in the country by enrolment each year since 2010 (around 70,000 students the last several years). When I was there in the early 2000s they were throwing money at their football program. They spent their way into national relevance. They went undefeated in 2017 and claim a national championship that year (nobody else agrees). Their last 2 head football coaches were hired away by Nebraska and Tennessee.
Since football rules college athletics (based on $), they are a good addition to the Big 12. They will be competitive. In basketball, however, their biggest claim to fame is Michael Jordan’s son played there. Marcus was no Michael.

RE: Meat Necklace Game Thread
The players who like the red (crimson) unis weren’t born in 1986, when we wore them and lost to Duke in the Final 4. I haven’t liked them since then. Bad memories. We had a phenomenal team, should have won it all. Must have been the unis!

Kevin is also second in the Big 12 in double-doubles. Jalen is first. That’s pretty cool.

Nobody has >1 foul. Only 2 turnovers. We had 3 block and 4 steals. Could be worse.
