  What a weird year. Maybe should have been more expected, in retrospect. But weird as hell.

  @FarmerJayhawk yes and no, should we have trouble with the likes of Indiana, Fizzou and WSU? Probably not but we know we are the Super Bowl on their schedules so I don’t expect those to be easy games.

  @drgnslayr I’ve always liked your “Chip” theory. And I agree with you. It doesn’t just pertain to us or to sports, but in almost every area of life when you are over confident and cocky - you stand a very good chance of getting knocked down. A hunger for success is always a good motivator.

  @dylans I was always negative towards Shaka because I thought he was just a gimmick-guy who made it too far off just one good tournament run… but after they worked us so easily with x-axis ball I have a new perspective on him. I am wondering if he is an x-axis basketball savant. That game frustrated me as a Jayhawk fan but later I came to the realization his players are taught x-axis… the game is played more horizontally than vertically. Remember back to my x-axis posts? How much of the game is played above the rim? Just a tiny %. Who is one of our worst defenders? Hunter. Because his lateral pursuit stinks.

  @rockchalkjayhawk said in What makes Jamari a good basketball player?: He generally knows where to be on the floor. And he seems to have all the basic skills. Jamari in year three will be a fantastic piece of the puzzle. Agree and I think this goes hand in hand with my last paragraph on him. Just stuff you see from a kid that is smart and has been playing basketball for a looong time.

  Maybe havoc for three straight days is unsustainable? I feel their play style will lead to upsets, both of other teams and themselves.

  Well, we pretty much got hosed with our starting two guard spot this season. Y’all know why. The former player would have been a difference maker with speed and quickness on defense. So, we are struggling to make up for that with inexperienced players. Elmarko seems like he has the zip to eventually fill that role. But for the moment I’m totally in Team Jamari camp. I don’t think he’s got the quickness that Elmarko will show at some point, but he’s solid all around, can guard a few spots on the floor. Timberlake gets mop up minutes.

  @chriz said in Anyone else feel this way?: I thought it was just me. Honestly I lost a lot of interest when Mahomes started playing for the Chiefs. I only have so much sports attention to go around. I’m a Chargers fan so I have only enough sports pain to go around…LOL Kansas was usually my respite.

  The interesting thing is we’re a fairly knowledgable group and when things go south like last night we are all honest about it. We’re all not just rah rah love my Jayhawks they can do no wrong type of fans. I yelled at the TV last night frequently at DaJuan. He was bad and I was mad at him. But he’s a dynamic player.

  @FarmerJayhawk said in NCAA In Danger: @dylans nope. Applies to any institution receiving federal funding. So also NAIA and all secondary schools that take federal money. So, all of them. There’s no way to remain compliant while keeping 85 football scholarships and fielding all revenue sports. Gotcha. Cancel all sports then. No big deal. If they’re losing money, there is no point. Money is all that matters about college sports now.

  I hope his mom saw him play Kentucky, she would’ve seen that coach taught him like she asked.

  I noticed that Calipari, like Bruce Weber frequently is on the court while the ball is in play. Coach Self does a nice job of staying on the side line and in the coaching box.

  @kjayhawks I legitimately did regarding Elmarko. He’s only scored off of layups or when he drives. His shot is not great. I didn’t feel like I had to preface it but Juan has to score against the great teams so he might as well get used to it against the bad teams. I agree he won’t look to score at all against chaminade but then the next two games I hope he steps up by hunting his shot from the tip. @wissox - this is the appreciation thread I referenced…feel free to scroll up and acknowledge what I said about Dajuan

  @bskeet He’s made a living off of those situations and has shot it VERY well when left open. Has had a few big games where he made 3 or more.

  @FarmerJayhawk His jumper looks much more in flow and smooth this season. Last season he had a hitch in it, he’s put some hours in the gym this offseason no question.
