Kansas Jayhawks @ NC State Wolfpack Game Chat Sat. 12/13 4:30 CT

@RockChalkinTexas-0 cramps?
-
@crimsonblu22 No idea right now.
-
@crimsonblu22 upper thighs was the areas he worked
-
What a game! We started out in the 2nd half with 4 quick turnovers but I don't think we had another one.
-
Melvin is a better basketball player than DP. If DP stops having availability issues maybe he could challenge Melvin for the team crown.
Great game! Both teams traded haymakers. This is one of those where if we lose by 1 the sky is falling but if we win by 1 our team is playing great
-
I hated the officiating in that game. Absolutely hated it. About the only thing they did right was not call the flagrant on that ridiculous foul.
-
@bskeet who was it on?
-
We've seen this sorry ass team come up short time and time again on the road the last two years. Melvin put everything out on the court tonight to finally get it done on the road
-
And yeah, that Council performance was shades of Downtown Terry Brown.. Mercy!
-
@bskeet I don't think that game is close if flory doesn't pick up 2 fouls immediately

Two whistles on Flory and one on DP in the first 2 min.. 2 on DP in the first 10. Seemed like the stripes were all about neutering us and keeping the game close.
Meanwhile on the other end of the floor.... crickets
-
NC State's strategy of not guarding Melvin early backfired. They allowed him to make a couple open ones and shoot with confidence. Once the Wolfpack abandoned that strategy Melvin was playing confidently and that was the difference in the game.
-
So glad we won that. Coach knew how to fire up his man, Melvin Mfn Council Jr., this week for sure. What a game for him. Rest of the team not too great and only 2 points from the bench is mind-boggling. I hope we see more Rosario soon.
-
@crimsonblu22 It would have been on Council. He was dribbling up from inbound and NCSt player came in to foul at the end of the game. As Melvin was getting around him, Mel’s elbow hit the player in the nose. Foul was called against NCSt player.
-
Nice birthday present for me to see KU get a quality road win tonight!
-
@patoh3 Did it even actually hit his nose? Not a great camera angle. Looked like a flop
-
OK, KU wins, but 50 min of bench time and only 6 shots, 2 pts. And, Tiller's effort and box score line suck too. But a Win after a week off.
-
We won, but I feel I have to vent about the officiating. People will say, "Oh, the foul count was even thus the officiating was fair." NO! NC State fouled us on almost every possession and it NEVER got called. We actually defended them without fouling, largely because Tiller and Flory's length make it so we don't have to foul. Had the refs called NC State for their fouls (even if they only call the egregious ones and let the ticky tack ones go), I think we would have coasted to a comfortable win. Oh well, in the end it was better for us. We got experience with adversity and close game situations.
-
DP's absence is turning KU into a very good team. Which is good, because you can stick a fork in him. He's done. We will not see him play the rest of the season.
America! Where you have the right to be wrong.
-
Flory got 2 fouls the first 2 minutes, but none the rest of the game. He played all 20 minutes of the 2nd half and all 5 minutes of overtime, without fouling. That's encouraging.
