  @drgnslayr Ya ISU was a fluke no question to me they shot double their average from 3 and set a school record for most made. Granted we win still if we make Fts.

  @mayjay Not fond of scotch. Think it has to do with a not so pleasant encounter back in hs. Just can’t take the taste. I’m saving my pennies now for a bottle of Crown XR. My son won a bottle on the Clemson/Bama game it’s great. Of course as expensive as it is it will be a special ocassion drink, such as #13, FF, NC, Royals WS and so on.

  @Lulufulu Shucks, if we play with those ingredients which you just listed then we should win any game any where. National Champs in 50 days!

  @JayHawkFanToo True, his biggest problem would be defensively. But he can flat play. Knows how to use his body in the lane. It has to be better than Newman or a freshmen Garrett running the point. And as far as Semi, Larry Brown was the coach who got him to SMU. Not Jankovich. Plus, for a guy looking to go to the NBA, playing for SMU is not necessarily the best place to be. A few whispers to the right people and a few words from scouts could at least put him on the market. They have no current players in the NBA and only 9 players ever to make it to the NBA. About the only thing that needs said. I don’t know if Semi will be on the market, it just wouldn’t surprise me. And I sure wouldn’t say no.

  @ralster Nobody comes back from 14 down with 2 and change, I mean nobody! That’s why it was so freaking amazing I still can’t believe it. Bill couldn’t either. Just when you think, “how could we add anything else truly worthy of legend and lore to the history of that glorious building?”, something somehow does. What could be next? I’ll be there Feb 22 with my daughter hoping we see it. And if not that night, we will revel in the mystery of the Phog and all the lingering moments past.

  @bskeet I believe all three, particularly Coach Williams and Coach rat face are wanting to win one more championship and retire while at the top. The academic scandal has not quite hit the fan at UNC yet but it will be in the near future and Coach Williams probably wants to be gone when that happens.

  Coach Self seems pretty pleased with Devonte’s play and understands that all the attention is on Frank and Devonte is not getting nearly what he deserved but his numbers are solid.

  @RockChalkinTexas “While the chant has become part of the rivalry and is a source of pride for many K-Staters…” When the source of your university pride is wrapped around saying “F-KU” doesn’t that say it all right there? It sounds like the purple kitties main goal in life is to become the next Mizzou. That is reaching high! I’m trying to imagine watching a nationally televised game from AFH where our fan base goes nuts screaming “F-KSU.” I can’t even imagine and if we ever become a trashy fan base I will be devastated! One of the many treasures of Kansas basketball is the fan base! The class, the knowledge, the humility. I was never more proud of our fans when we gave Buddy Hield a standing ovation! Buddy LOVES KU! And we love, Buddy! Many KU fans have expressed deepest sympathies for OU’s Woodard after his injury. I’m one of those fans because I have always appreciated his play and just being a quality human being. You can shove anyone in a classroom but you can’t give them class. That is earned.

  Beatty kicked Strong’s ass right outta Austin, Billy Self about to do same to Sucka Smart. Because, yes, Smart’s whole “translates well to the Big12” comment was based on 1 game from 4 yrs prior. And when that game’s opponent continues to kick your ass around every corner of AFH and the Erwin Center, Bill Self will remove ALL shadow of doubt. Carefully, methodically, & hatefully…shoving each syllable and letter of his phrase back down his throat. All with a sportsmanlike smile. Want to revel in a “step on the throat” W? Well, watch Self personally on this one. Doing it thru his team, like few coaches can, proving directly what Shaka cant. Now I hope Shaka didnt go buy eel/ostrich hi-dollar boots for those Longhorn Alum mixers…I mean, he wouldnt want to piss em off any worse, since “puss in boots” is supposed to be just a cartoon, not real life! They’re still seething over the Charlie Strong thing…this is bad timing brewing for Shucky Smart, as he got bad ingredients in said brew, got no secret recipe. His msg fully translated, as in code broken.

  @chriz said: Two things: We don’t lose big games in conference. Especially at home. When was the last time we lost to a ranked team at home when the conference title was on the line? Was Okie State ranked when Smart did the backflip? As @jaybate-1.0 mentioned earlier, we played like we played against Tech because we had WV coming. We played like we did against WV earlier because we had Kentucky coming. We played like we did against Iowa State because we had KState coming. Coach preps the kids for the big games at the expense of performing well in the small games. More often than not it works out well for the small games. Even more often than that (it seems), it works out well for the big games. We’ll be fine. We’ll probably beat Baylor too. It’s the others we should be concerned about. See, I told ya we’d be fine.

  @HighEliteMajor You are not wrong. The salaries in the D-League are were small or nominal as I mentioned. There is a proposal to raise the salaries to something more reasonable but I am not sure how soon it will be implemented or if at all. Many of the players are under NBA contracts and biding time until they improve enough to join the parent team, I believe Diallo is in this category, but most are there holding to a slim hope that they will play well enough to catch a scout’s attention and get a shot. If you ever watch the games, the audience is in the hundreds at best so really not a money maker. No question that the benefits a player get playing at KU, particularly the national exposure, greatly exceeds that of the D-League. Of course, a college player cannot be called to the NBA on a moments notice but those odds are not that good in the first place. I can understand leaving if there are assurances that a team will sign you to a contract and stash you in the D-League , like Alexander, but leaving to play in the D-League for that measly salary does not seem like the best option but then…hope springs eternal in the human breast - Alexander Pope on “Essay on Man.”

  @jaybate-1.0 I haven’t read all the posts on this topic between you and @wissox . So, I’m not taking sides here at all. I just want to say that I’m not sure you can diminish any win this season against Kentucky or Duke. Were they a little short handed against us? yeah sure maybe they were but hey, KU, us, we have been short handed nearly all season and we keep winning games that we shouldn’t have a prayer in. Last nights WVU game is a prime example. You know, earlier in the season I questioned this teams toughness. I said that they were soft and that the 2012 team of 6 guys would kick their asses back to the school yard court. Right now, I think I have to retract that statement at least 3/4ths of the way. Last night our boys proved they are TOUGH. Tough as nails. All 7.5 of our guys are tough as nails. Bragg has some work to do but he had a couple of big boy plays that impressed me last night. I personally think we would give the 2012 team a run for their money. I really do. TRob would be all over Landen, no contest there. But what would TRob do when he had to switch onto Josh or Svi on the perimeter? Both those guys at 6’8" just as tall and could drain threes or drive around the slower but way stronger TRob. That’s just one match up problem I see. I do think the 2012 team would win in a head to head match up but it would be a very very close game. Our guards this year are way way better than the 2012 team. So, both teams have match up advantages and disadvantages. I like our guys now. They are learning to fight all the way til the final whistle. Never say die. That gives me good feelings about March. I believe they can win with an asymmetrical whistle and a poor trey shooting night. That makes them very tough to beat next month
