KU and Apples vs Izzo's Freshman Game Thread
-
Maybe he’ll miss the freebies and we can all laugh about it
-
Bill Self is great, but he should have called TO before MSU inbounded. We had fouls to give, and just remind the guys not to do what Vick just did.
-
That foul call on Lucas was garbage…
That aside, 2.4 can we get a fast shot off ?
-
How many times are they going to the monitor to bail MSU out and give them the best possible chance?
-
what an idiot it cannot be said enough
-
It could be worse.
-
We need a better 2.5 second play
-
NO contact on Frank? Wow refs going to help MSU all they can. I can already see it.
-
Wow - really bad end to the half - had a chance to create some real separation…
-
Well I was hoping for something a little more inspired to get a shot off in last 2 1/2 seconds
-
@Bwag Why do you say it was a garbage foul call?
-
This team can be so great and yet make terrible decisions. Really killed all our momentum. Have to be SMARTER next half.
-
Vick is off today
-
This is total bullshit
There is no “continuance” in college & he was clearly fouled on the floor… Made for tv 
crap…
-
Probably as frustrated as I’ve been with a 5 point lead. Lazy defense, got beat up the floor continuously for the first 17 minutes then had an 11 point lead trimmed to 5 in less than 45 seconds. Too late in the season these mental lapses.
-
@globaljaybird
I was wondering the same thing. Very poor close to the half for KU regardless. Just when it looked like KU might be able to keep them at arm’s length.
-
You know Mason should win the POY of the year, but if he doesn’t win. Then he’ll win the @doubledd POY award. It isn’t worth much, but I know.
-
@kjayhawks the defensive effort has been good, but some bad decisions kept msu in it.
-
So has some damn good 3 of shooting… damn
-
Really bad close to the half. Also, 3 of 11 from 3…and most of them were good looks. We should have a comfortable lead.
-
I wish we had UNC’s 2nd round opponent
-
@HawkChamp I think the effort got better but we came out with zero fire besides josh with his head up his butt. If I’m Self I tell him one more one hand missed dunk, that he averages 1 or 2 a game, he’s out for several minutes.
-
Vick’s head is not in this game. Need to limit his time unless absolutely necessary. Svi seems to be on today.

Why? KU wins this game and they will. It only adds fuel to the fire Screw and easy path. Let this KU team be champions and have nobody dispute it.
-
The bench was a joke outside of one 3 from vick, that has to change if we hope to go anywhere. We may get thru this without any bench play but that’s it. I’m looking for playing hard and smart for a full half.
-
@DoubleDD I agree. This will be a fun, and memorable win!
-
KU better wise up and play smart. MSU is out of control and over playing. They are clearly playing off of Izzo’s energy. KU needs to play fundamentally and take the D up a notch. MSU has nothing to lose at this point.
-
@DoubleDD I just changed channels and saw them already routing Arkansas, and just had a thought like, hmmm, Arkansas or MSU? No brainer. I really wasn’t analyzing it too much like you are, so thanks for the clarification.
-
Was the charge on Josh legit ?
-

Hell yea, and that is what is all about.
-
@Blown yeah. His foot was on the restricted line.
-
27% for 3Pt shots
MSU 41% is what’s kept them in it.
-
@Blown His foot appeared to be on the arc. It would have been a charge otherwise. How’s the game from your seat? We’re all jealous!
-
@Blown His heel was on the restricted line. Or at least above it - some thought he was on his toes. But it wasn’t a horrible call.

Josh shot three of them to be fair. Mason and Graham being 0-2 sucks but is certaintly within the realm of variance. Hopefully more threes fall for KU next half.
@Blown said:

It was the correct call, Josh had his foot in the restricted area.
-
@Bwag Need to get some hands up in their faces.
-
@RockChalkinTexas thanks. They are not playing replays here

Now you’re talking facts us KU fans an hang our hat on. Nice job.

Turn this around and it should be a comfortable win. Given the seasonal average, there is a decent chance it happens.
-
MState shot 5/12 from 3, 42%
-
@Blown see any angry Clone fans?
-
Hopefully they all scuttled back to Iowa.
-
Arkansas…WOOF
-
Okay, see this thread again after the game. Hopefully after a KU WIN.

You know you have to hand it the Clones fans. They do really care about the round ball game. They come out in full force for the Big 12 tournament.
-
@DoubleDD wonder if that will change next year?
-
Josh’s heel was definitely off the ground. I don’t know what the wording on the rule is because that would matter. If it’s over the line, then it’s a good call, if it’s on the line, then it’s a bad call.
-
@RockChalkinTexas no but i do see some Burnt pokes from Stillwater
-
@DoubleDD I always like their fans. They’re passionate, fairly knowledgable and give them a decent home court advantage.
-
They sure didn’t scout Svi to drive the ball. Maybe they will let him get open outside this half.
