Hawks vs Pokes Game Thread
-
I am out. Battery going out. What happened to the ESPN site? No one could watch? I got it on my Nook and was listening to Brianand Greg until well into secknd half.
-
@autohawk good suggestion
-
@DCHawker maybe borrowing minutes will be enough? Vick saved balls from going out, wow I know!
-
@JayHawkFanToo Not suggesting they should foul anyone. Just that some fouls generally come with playing good pressure defense. We certainly weren’t stopping penetration…
-
@RockChalkinTexas couldn’t get first 10 mins, was on ESPN 3, son couldn’t get it in Chicago blacked out even there
-
KState 12 Baylor 8.
-
So lets see, on FT, we’re 221 of 347, thats 63.7%. What should our % be? Last year it was 71.3% for the season. Thats a diff of 7.6% which would be 26 points more over the 17 games we’ve played, or a little over 1.5 points more per game.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Any one game, sure - but every game the rest of the season?
-
Smart and Texas breaking the best pressing team in the country.
-
@RockChalkinTexas I thik the Irwin Center is a pretty decent venue. Can’t say as much for the fans/
-
KState 12 Baylor 8. I hate to say it, but I’m halfway rooting for the cats.
-
Huggy Bear and his WV boys like to foul a lot.
-
Keep in mind that Texas is a pressing team as well…Shaka’s trademark…
-
Well I’m out. See you all Monday.
-
Jarred Allen looks like a 60’s throwback…
-
@stoptheflop I called ksu
-
@DCHawker no! Gotta have something. Bragg’s lost, Vick’s needs to fire his ass up! We got 3 from bench
-
Frank finally cooled off shooting 6/16 and 1/4 from 3 but most importantly he still got his with 22 points. DG had a good line as did JJ outside of shooting %. Our bigs were a joke combined for 7 points and 13 rebounds, all but one board was LL. Come on Bragg we need you.
-
@KUSTEVE part of my nature. Don’t disagree with you.
When I do my self evaluation at work, my list of things to work on is always much bigger than the positives.
-
@approxinfinity great argument for how well we’re doing versus last year on the ft’s. however, if we made the extra 1.5 points per game, we would be undefeated today.
-
“How about that play from Matt Farrow”
In elite 8 game, that was a foul on Devonte Graham.

@Bwag you see it as I do from a coaching stand point. Even in our best game I could break down multiple weaknesses, “we can’t be perfect but if we strive to be, we can be excellent” Vince Lombardi.
-
Solid win. I knew we would get OSU’S Best effort especially for a team that was trying to avoid a 0-5 start. That lose pretty much put them in no man’s land now.
Not a perfect game by any means but we saw these guys fight for that win!
-
@kjayhawks many of us, if we were normal fans, we’d have the TV off and be out cleaning the garage. But we’re here still posting.
Can only go rah, rah so long and not be bored.

@Bwag exactly. In life, you have to focus on what to improve a little more than the positived. If all you do is hold your pom poms and do a dance for yourself, you are not likely to realize weaknesses. Have to be critical.
-
@Bwag nobody ever said you were normal!! Ha me either! But I don’t care!

Agree. So, I think the issue with Bragg is that he simply isn’t a 5. Subbing him for LL isn’t going to work - he doesn’t box out, he doesn’t play strong and he is routinely out of position. I would actually prefer to see Coleby give LL the breather or foul trouble minutes. Bragg’s minutes should be at the 4 only - when we need to go big and have both in and LL in at the same time or when we have JJ or Svi in foul trouble.

AB Normal
-
@Bwag ab?
-
@DCHawker osu played 4 guards
-
@HawkChamp but today we want to give trophies for participation. !

What would happen if refs started calling the WVU games according to the rules applied in all other NCAA Div 1 games?
-
@Bwag who does? I dont
-
@Bwag See where Joe Biden got his participaton trophy the other day from his boss.
-
@Bwag ab = ass-backwards?
-
@brooksmd no politcs

@approxinfinity Young Frakenstein

Had a nice interview with EJ. He loves KU. She asked about his ISU game.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Young Frankenstein reference.
Igor comes back with the abnormal brain for the monster and says the name was Abbey Normal.
-
@brooksmd exactly.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 but it’s true. Even at the top.
-
@Bwag I loved that movie

23 minutes to go. Let’s have a nice easy win this time maybe?
Well not so much, huh? Was a good thought though to kick us off.

As a teen boy at the time most memorable line, scene was the “Nice knockers” line…
Well okay, things haven’t changed much over the decades!
-
@Bwag ha!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Agree it needs to be situational.
-
@DCHawker some darn good guards in our league
-
Ask Fran
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That be true - and really no really good front court players - it’s a guard league this year. Motley has been good, but he isn’t a dominant low post player. Has 7 points and just fouled out in the KSU. BTW - would argue that this is a pretty impressive performance by Baylor - up 7 with 4+ minutes to go on the road and getting nothing from their best player.

K state choking away an upset
