Who wins? - -Big 12/ Sec?

Two big negatives working against us in the UK game today…
First, we have no depth. That means if we get in foul trouble, who is going in, Tyler Self? I actually see him getting a few minutes today regardless what happens.
Second, we have a heavy mismatch in the low post. That could mean a 25 point negative discrepancy in the post.
We still can win. But our guards are going to have to take over this game. This is where experience should trump talented youth, but we don’t always take advantage of our experience.
I don’t like our chances… but I’m just going to hope for the best.

@truehawk93 dont you love Jekyll and Hyde teams? lol
-
@drgnslayr We can suit up Case? He looks young enough.
-
@drgnslayr except for Frank a few times this year, our guards do not look like they are experienced. They don’t move their feet on defense, they make bad decisions/passes and much of the time look like they would rather be on the bus ready to go home. And its not just now that that has been happening - it has been like that since the first exhibition game against Washburn. Actually, they look like they have regressed as a group. Not sure what their mindset is.

OU getting punked at home…

What a week ranked teams going down. - -# 1 , # 2, # 4 # 6, # 8 , # 9 , # 14 , # 16 , # 17 totally nuts - - -Florida State got beat twice - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 yeah, UCLA lost twice in a week, UNC, FSU, and Villanova. Maybe the one seeds will have more losses than what I originally projected. We are still in the running if we finish strong.

@JayHawkFanToo heard Weber went down a different tunnel than his team did, on purpose? Did he get lost? Jk
-
Weber is a strange bird…
-
@JayHawkFanToo no bird!!

I’m watching wake beating Duke, it’s close

How did we give up 88 points to KSU on our home court - they couldn’t get to 60 against an 11-9 Tennessee team… And, OU losing by almost 30 on their home court… B12 may end up winning the Challenge, but these are two poor showings and WVU barely held on at home. Not sure about ISU on the road…
-
@DCHawker ISU looking good. K State only gets up for big games and we were not good at all.
-
@time-to-rock-73 awesome avi!

I agree.
Enthusiasm should come from synergy created from within the team. The players. Coaches should just be there to add some fuel to the fire. Bill isn’t able to get them psyched up by himself. Very few coaches ever could. I’d say probably the best in D1 ever was Jimmy V. That guy was pure salesman, pure energy, all the time.
We lack leadership. It is that simple, and I’m sure I will be pointing that out for the next two months.
That leadership should be on and off the court. Our leader should have been on Carlton’s arse for the last 6 months. And if Carlton is hanging out with trashy people, he should step in and grab Carlton by the ear and drag him away.
It just feels like we have a very talented team of individuals. We need these guys to solidify as a TEAM!

I will be attending my wife’s best friend’s 40th birthday party and may miss some of the game depending upon how availability of the TV… may the basketball gods have mercy on my Jayhawk loving soul.
The message to me is clear today. Guys, let’s win this one for Frank, through Frank, by Frank. This feels like the end of an arc that started with his game against Kentucky on November 18, 2014 when we got destroyed in the Champions Classic. Looking back on the boxscore, Frank had one rebound, one assist and shot 1-10, his 5-6 from the free throw line and zero turovers in 32 minutes of play the only statistical brightspot.
At the time, that was a big bright spot. After a year of Naadir, and previously EJ and Tyshawn, this kid had tight handles and came to play when the rest of the team gave up.
Now is a chance to rewrite that statline, and the team to follow suit.
Let the nation lazily tune in and see what they might have assumed, the #2 beating the #4. Let us recognize on this day that our kids saw through the funk of injuries and poor play and followed our floor general to an improbably victory.
Let the scouts see how much an athlete and leader Frank Mason is.
Oh yeah, and Josh. Bright lights, big plays.
Rise and shine fellas. Today is your day!

Ugh. Big 12 down 3-4. Assuming Baylor wins, if we don’t…will need TCU over Auburn to split the 10 games.
-
@HawkChamp I will pretend your post didn’t happen. But I bet you’re happy.

@HighEliteMajor I am always happy to eat all the crow in the world

@HawkChamp Me too … I’ve got a little Lucas crow that lingers from last season.
