Haven’t read it yet , but am hearing on the News I guess they originally took off more like under normal conditions and then like 14 minutes into their called in for special flying instruction , the pilot said he was going to try and climb above the nastier weather

  Beard is a good coach, Tech is an extremely inexperienced team this season and Beard still has them playing a pretty high level of defense. If the offense clicks for them at any point this season, they’re a top level B12 program. Tech is a difficult program to recruit to and Beard has brought in good talent and will have Tech being a consistent B12 contender if he’s there long enough.

  approxinfinity said: I think for me, my hate for K State starts with their coach being an a-hole, just like Wichita State, and that feeling isn’t abated since they have no discernable face on the roster that I appreciate at the moment, either as a player or as a person. Lots of good points in your post… This one about Weber, I thought I would comment on because I’ve never felt any ill-will toward Weber. I thought he was a pretty decent coach as he has had a good number of timely wins against B12 contenders that helped us win conference championships. And he’s rarely thwarted our path to the championship. But my opinion is changing because calling a press with 2 minutes left after we put our bench in turned out to be the first step toward the catastrophe. I hope he thinks long and hard about that move. In that way, he is directly accountable for this mess, but there is little mention of that and he has been circumspect in the aftermath.

  BeddieKU23 said: @Kcmatt7 I agree we don’t need Ochai to always score. His defense has been mostly really good. Against K-St he was really aggressive and you could tell the difference in energy and he rebounded at a high level. The jump shot just looks so funky from catch to release (reminding of Garrett his first two seasons really). I would take the energy & aggressiveness from him most nights and be happy because I know in the flow of the game he’s going to find a way to do some good things because effort is not a problem. I just really think he’s a consistent jumper away from giving the team the 3rd option that teams cannot take away. You look at the teams that have defended KU the best, they can limit Doke’s paint touches and pressure Dotson enough with help to take away his tremendous speed and driving ability but KU having that 3rd option that’s going to consistently get you 10-15 a night would really be the cherry on top. I want to see him add a post game. He’s got 25 lbs, 2 or 3 inches height, and 5 or more inches vertical on some of these guys guarding him. I’d think he could really effectively bully some guys on the block. I’d also like to see him shoot better, but he is shooting over .300 which for this team is actually pretty good lol. But I agree if he could find the consistency from beyond the arch we’d be better.

  @Crimsonorblue22 I guess next time we’ll just run up the score and don’t stop until the buzzer. Apparently that’s how class acts finish games.

  @benshawks08 I don’t know what I’m saying. This team has me confused. Look at my constant contradiction. Guys need to show more emotion while Doke needs to control his emotions. Devon may be the best PG in KU history while he can’t lead a team. This team has a huge chip while not seeming to have one at all. This team needs to be hugely focused but need to just go have fun. I give up. What’s next? A stupid fight with 2 ticks left on the clock? I wonder if Self is as confused as many of us?

  BigBad said: I agree with emotion without taunting. The problem is taunting has become normal in the NBA, which all college players watch and emulate. NBA will have an all-out fight at some point soon due to the unnecessary staredown after dunks. The refs need to take care of it before it happens. Got close to a fight here: https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1212570376602976257?s=20 Oubere here: https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1207146923058180096?s=20 Damn I was right about a fight but I thought it be the NBA not US!!!

  BShark said: DoubleDD said: Is this a college basketball thing with the movement of the three point line? That seems to be a big part of it. Scoring across the nation is way down. Scoring is down 1.9 points nationally this season (from last). The peak of the last 25 seasons or so was 2018 at 73.6 nationally so scoring is down over 3 points in less then 2 years. 3pt % and FG % is down a pt, at least. Efficiency is down 5 points from last season alone. Painting a bleak picture about this year

  @RockChalkinTexas , @Crimsonorblue22 I don’t know how many Lady Bucketeers there are (maybe just the 3 of us??) but we can certainly agree Jalen is cute. Kind of reminds me of Kelly Oubre
