Senior Night vs OU
-
@BShark absolutely agree. That’s a second round matchup we need to avoid like the plague. Thats exactly the kind of game we lose. Even Self admits we’re on borrowed time with these comeback wins. Can’t do that all the time
-
@kjayhawks Guessin C Frankencamp would be motivated.
-
The shockers?
Really?
KU nation is scared of the Shockers?
You guys and gals are going to drive me to drink. oops to late.
-
Did we forget the wv game awhile back?
-
What happened last time? WSU plays hard ALL game.
-
What was that like 2 years ago? Um KU plays hard too. If the shockers are so awesome where is the love?
-
@Bwag His Daddy would be
-
@globaljaybird I have found that not getting on here until after the game that the “quitter” posts don’t bother me as much. And the games are far more enjoyable. More people need to adopt @DoubleDD positive attitude.
-
@BShark yep and sadly we don’t play hard the whole game.
-
@BShark exactly. A solid fundamental team that guards, hits FTS, and plays with 100% effort all the time. Doesn’t matter who is on the jersey. That is exactly the kind of team that has been the Achilles heel for us in the tourney… I.E. Any of our first and second round losses
-
Sadly we keep on winning
-
Another theme is teams that slow down the pace. I’d like to avoid UVA if possible as well. That game would just be brutal to watch.
-
Kind of surprised Self told Graham to stay one more year. Maybe he is gone.
-
What did wv do tonight? Hmm
-
So the same people that predicted that KU would lose tonight are predicting a loss against the Shockers? :fu:
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Sadly we keep on winning
-
Shockers by double digits
-
Winning in a way which encourages bad habits. Still better to win than lose though obviously.

I predicted a win tonight ftr.
-
Go tell Frank what u think!
-
Fair enough. Now I’m going to get in trouble with @approxinfinity
-
Great speech Landen.
-
I have a rule I don’t tweet at players or recruits.
-
@BShark Tweeting is for punks.
-
@brooksmd wouldn’t the world be somewhat to quite bland if everyone was the same? Individuality is beautiful in its own right. Myself… I like lots of different kinds of music, don’t always want the same position In the rack, enjoy something other than what I ate last night, and appreciate opposing views
-
-
@DoubleDD did someone predict a loss? Or just express displeasure with the way the team played for 30 min?
-
FTR KU rolls the Shockers.
-
You tell me? I thought I was at a funeral. Now I’m hearing KU’s demise against the Shockers. You tell me what gives?
-
We actually played good defense OU only shot 35% from the floor. Rebounding was terrible outside of the last 8 minutes, we gave them 20 second chance points but ended up edging them bye 3 total.
-
You keep nit picking KU, yet they keep winning. I don’t understand you’re logic. I just don’t.
-
@brooksmd I’d have to agree Pops too many dick downers can take the fun outta the rally that we all inevitably know is coming… It pisses me off that someone says he’s a fan & whines out all that negative
with zero faith. To me it’s like showing a lack of courage. I’m like@KUSTEVE. I. expect to win every freaking game.
-
This team is like the 14/15 royals. You just feel they’ll come back. Magical.
-
Screw all this talk of an easy bracket. I hope the NCAA powers screw KU, and loads up their bracket. It’s going to be that much sweeter when KU wins it all.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wiggy in the #9 POTD on SC.
-
I feel like DG is a transitional piece to the next run of players and keep a little bit of the identity from the last couple of years. I’ll be really sad to see him go.
-
@Blown I agree
-
The way Self called out DG to stay I’d say there’s a good chance he goes.
-
@kjayhawks have to agree unfortunately
-
He didn’t call out Svi
-
@Blown Wonder if he wouldn’t want to come back and run the team after having been behind Frank and seeing what that senior year did for Frank = POY and a real shot at getting on a team or leaving and taking a big chance on getting on some DLeague team (like so many others trying to do) making meager wages or having to go overseas. That’s a lot for a 22 year old to have to weigh.
-
Graham is so good WSU’s best player transferred from KU to get minutes.
Hope he comes back for a sr year to showcase that talent!
-
@DoubleDD I would actually prefer that as well. of the 5 teams that have been number one this season we’ve played 3 of them and have gone 4-0 against them (Baylor twice). I welcome a hard bracket as we tend to play up to our competition and match their intensity.
-
Team reminds me of 2012 so much except they are rope a dope extreme.
-
@Blown @RockChalkinTexas After how Svi has played here lately I see no chance of him getting drafted. I think this is one of the stronger OAD classes myself. I’ve said all year I bet we don’t lose both DG and Svi, maybe one I’ll stick to it and remember how young Svi still is. Which IMO helps his case to stay. We also have the Arizona state transfer next year that guys haven’t mentioned much on here with Malik.
-
@RockChalkinTexas Makes me wonder why is it not that important to these kids to finish a degree ? It’s just a piece of paper
but the damn thing is an absolute necessity to be successful in today’s world 
-
@cragarhawk Like I posted after the last game, I’m old and simple and I just enjoy watching them win. If they lose they lose. If you missed it this year, UK, UNC, Puke, Gonzaga, WVU, Baylor and many other top teams lost this year. But the world didn’t end. Some of those teams, KU included, constantly have a bullseye on the back of their jersey. And for some teams beating that bullseye is the NC of their season. They’ve got nothing to lose and therefore no pressure. And as it usually happens some dude who hasn’t hit a 3 all season suddenly anything he throws at the hoop beyond the arc goes in. That’s college bb and no predictor of what will happen in future games. Relax and enjoy the game and if we’re lucky we’ll win 6 in a row in the big crap shoot.
-
@DoubleDD I respect your right to believe that we beat a good team playing like that for 33 minutes. Is it really that hard to respect mine to believe we won’t? I didn’t say the shockers. You can simply insert quality teams name here as far as I’m concerned. You really believe when we play like that the team goes to coach in the timeout and it’s all rainbows and omg you guys are so wonderful? There’s not a thing in the this world wrong with critisism if it breeds improvement. Everyone didn’t vote for Hillary or Trump, everyone doesn’t get a trophy, and everyone doesn’t believe we can beat anyone on earth playing that way for 75% plus of the game… but you know what. It is okay with me if you did or believe any of those things. You’re an individual. And I like it that way
-
@Crimsonorblue22 You going back home tonite?
-
@brooksmd no
-
@brooksmd I absolutely have no issue with your take. And if you go back and read a previous post of mine. During the WV game in the phog you will see that I was pretty relaxed and wouldn’t have really bothered me to lose. It hasn’t really bothered me for years. I just see no issue with calling a spade a spade. When there’s obvious improvement needed in certain areas I’m certain that Coach Self doesn’t leave that unsaid. I respect the views of anyone who is positive or negative and recognize that it is exactly that which make the world go round. Im not having a terrible time posting nor watching the game cause ppl are positive. It’s good to have difference. I like the negative stuff too. It makes you think. And I believe in the world there’s a place for realism too. IMO that’s my view. Doesn’t have to be yours too. In fact. I kinda prefer that it isn’t… I like you just as you are
