Friday's Home Opener- A Possible Letdown?
-
@BeddieKU23 I agree, I think they could hang around for a little. I personally hope we get up early so Frank, DG and LL can get some rest let Vick and Doka have a field day with JJ. George Washington is solid for sure and we may play them in the CBE.
-
@approxinfinity Did you see Svi get punched in the stomach by trippin dude on his missed bunny?
-
@wissox my wife caught it, I have to go back and look now
-
@approxinfinity post it if u find it, please.
-
@approxinfinity I spoke the truth about it on the live feed and no one responded! Which isn’t new for me.
-
@wissox I missed it. We are ignoring you on purpose! Fu, right? I prefer jk
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I thought you always use emojis?
-
-
@BeddieKU23 At first glance, I was like," No way" But now I believe you have a very solid theory here.
Still though, this is the first game at home in AFH for the season. Our guys should be jacked up for it. Especially our Freshies who havent done this yet.
20 point game and Coach should give Frank and DG some time off the court. Lando too.
-
@approxinfinity Yeah, DG had a great game. I literally could not tell he was cramping til I read about it. Strong stuff that is.
We may only have two smaller guards for PG duties but Svi and JJ have shown in the first two games that they are capable of initiating the Offense and creating for others. I have faith in them
-
During the last timeout he was laying on the floor and the trainers were working on his legs; when he got up he was chugging Gatorade.
-
I’m sure you all probably heard or read what Self said after the game about Devonte:
“Devonte’ couldn’t do much,” said Self, recalling that Graham played all but just a few seconds in the win. “He asked to come out and I said, ‘I can’t take you out.’ He’s cramping with five minutes left in the game and I told him to just go stand in the corner. And that’s what he did.”
-
@DanR I read that, I don’t recall him standing in the corner, do you? Was it during the last possession?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Might have been earlier–last few possessions were just clear-outs for Frank or pick and rolls, IIRC
-
I remember this. But there’s no GIF. How the heck are people creating this GIF files anyway? The output from my cable box is HDMI, which is encoded. Do you have to have a setup where the game can be played/recorded on the computer?
In any case, would love to see that!
-
No one gave me love for my KU, Dook prediction, I said 78-73 lol
-
@Crimsonorblue22 OK… I’ve been meaning to re-watch the end of the game, so this gave me an excuse! In the last five minutes after JJ fouled out. Graham stood in the corner or wing for 7 for seven of the last nine possessions. The other two he had an ugly turnover and a quick assist.
O: Ran the weave with Svi, Frank and Vick. Graham stood in corner. Frank layup.
Graham gave up a layup on D by JonesO: Graham staggers out for a pass and turns it over at half court
Stop, but Graham missed rebound. Frank got it.O: Bragg hits two freebies. Graham stood in corner.
Vicks guy nails threeO: Graham plays point, lobs to Bragg for a layup
four point play, Frank’s man.O: Graham stands in far corner, Frank drives, ditches to Bragg
O: Graham in corner. Frank drives and scores.
Euro step scoreO: Graham on wing. Clear out for frank. Missed three vick. Missed bunny Svi. (not that big of a gut shot by Grayson. The dude hanging on Lucas’s neck was worse)
Layup GraysonO: Graham wing. Frank drives, knocked oOB. Graham corner. Svi miss.
D. Duke Three ties game
O: Graham corner. Frank hero
The end.
-
@DanR can’t believe I didn’t notice!
-
I hope they are jacked up. I think things will be tight early and our overwhelming talent advantage + home court will take over. Just hope the little guys get some time to rest when the game hopefully goes into comfortable territory.
-
The best part about this game is we know when it will actually tip off.
-
What a crazy first eight days of the new season. I vote for Lucas and Mason to sit this one out, or at least play minimal minutes. Coach should play Svi, Vick, Lightfoot, and Doke 40 minutes or as close to it as they may possibly play. Even Tyler Self should play 20 minutes. The Indiana game showed there are going to be times this year when Tyler and the others are needed. I don’t write this to indicate Siena should be taken lightly. This is one of several games on our schedule to let these five players gain the experience that will be desperately needed later in the season. Just look back to the five players on the court at the end of the Indiana game. RCJH
-
Not sure if Doke can play more than 20 without fouling out haha.
-
@BShark he did better than 4 others.
-
@BShark That’s OK; let Doke play and foul against Siena. Lucas, Bragg and Lightfoot can play the rest of the minutes if he fouls out. Doke looks great for a very young frosh. I really like his energy and confidence, even though I find myself holding my breath whenever he has the ball. I’m just hoping it doesn’t go horribly wrong for him.

I do want him to play enough to foul out. He needs the experience.

Coach talked on his radio show about the 12,000 miles and two games against National powers in one week. I bet yesterday’s practice was nothing but walk through of scouting report. Coach said that we really needed to recharge our batteries and get our legs back. Even with the comfort of the planes they flew on, that is a lot of miles.

@kjayhawks WHAT!? Your a freeking prophet!
-
@Lulufulu sure if tonights prediction is good lol
-
@kjayhawks HA!
