I’m glad we have A&M - in Lawrence - pretty solid - didn’t realize they were ranked # 7 - -Man what would it been like if Ayton would of ended up coming to Ku - -he is huge - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Damn - -Florida got their butt beat last night so they say - -got blasted by Florida St - -what’s going on -what’s in the water lmao - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I hate Ayton so much. The dude is a total freak show and would make KU a title team this year. Not sure anyone else is close.

Ya that is still a weird recruitment - -we supposedly in such good shape the entire way and then BAM - - Arizona? - - -Arizona - -where that come from still wonder about that whole deal.
Walton with the statement of the year - -Again - he says Best college game of the year lmao - this guy lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Texas Tech taking Nevada into overtime. - -Nevada ranked #22 in the Nation. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Nebraska is up 8 on #14 Minnesota at the half.
-
Nebraska beats Minnesota in big upset.
Big win for a Tech over #22 Nevada in OT.
Wichita gets it together and comes back to beat SDSU.
Arizona barely gets by A&M. Davis is really good but Ayton is better and A&M has no outside game and Arizona is not that good either.
Bad loss for Notre Dame, good wins for West Virginia and TCU.
Texas almost gave away the game to Shaka’s old school VCU.
With KSU win the Big 12 goes 5-o.
-
It was an OK game but game of the year? No, not even close. Interesting, in the recap a ESPN lists Davis as having 21 points and 10 rebounds when he only had 2; Ayton had 10 rebounds.

@JayHawkFanToo Some quality wins for the big 12 last night. Texas Tech beats # 22 in overtime after trialing pretty much the entire game. -West Virginia . Beats # 15 Virginia , & TCU beats a quality SMU - - nice wins for all. – Texas tried to do everything it could to pee away all of it’s 19 point lead they had in the 2nd half , but managed to hang on – -on the road at VCU - -& K-State - - -Well , they scrimmaged last night. - -good night for the Big 12. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ya when space Captain Walton said that right at half time - - al I could do was laugh and shake my head, this guy - -hell he spent 3/4 of the game asking the play by play guy what his name was and some other just off the wall typical Bill Walton mish mash lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I came away less impressed with A & M than what I had originally thought. Guard play looks like an issue, and why in the world is Kennedy playing his bigs on the perimeter??? I don’t like their offensive approach at all.
-
Off game for them. Hogg didn’t shoot the ball much and he’s their best perimeter player and shooter by far. This was also practically a home game for Zona. But I agree A&M didn’t look as good as they did early when they thumped West Virginia and others.
-
@BeddieKU23 Arizona’s defense was solid. A&m is no offensive juggernaut
-
I agree Zona slowed the game down and used their pack line defense to limit A&M from scoring.
-
Once Alkins returns for Zona look out. Gives them that 3rd scorer alongside the Trier/Ayton combo. Takes a lot less pressure off their freshman guards to produce. They will be really tough to beat once he’s full go which is going to happen soon according to reports. I expect to see them rounding back into preseason hype over the next few months.
KU & Arizona are two teams that have the chance to improve a good amount with mid-season additions
-
Nova looked like one of the best teams in America last night. Mikal Bridges has grown into a potential lotto pick. Having Spellman in the middle really helps them on the boards and protecting the rim. They just look like a typical smart Nova teams with plenty of options. They lack a true go-to guy like they had last season but they may avoid situations for much of the year where that’s going to matter much. It looks like most nights Brunson & Bridges can carry the team and everyone else just fills their role. Jay Wright continues to put out a high quality product on the court despite losing multiple starters. The Big East will test them this season which should be an ultra competitive league this year.
As for last nights game with Gonzaga I thought it was a bad matchup for the Zags. They don’t have the talent they had last year and Nova was a more complete basketball team and it showed big time for large stretches of the game.
-
I agree. Other than their bigs they don’t have much of anything, a good outside shooter could have put that game away but they kept passing open looks to go inside. Like I said before, Arizona will continue to improve and with the talent it has is a legitimate top 10 maybe even top 5.
-
Everytime I see Nova trap the ball at half court, and in the corners, I just wish we would try doing the same thing. Maybe not every play, but man does that generate turnovers, and run outs.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Even when A & M went inside, they don’t do any seal offs that I could see- it was alot of those 4 to 6 foot jumpers. I was thinking paper tiger watching Kennedy’s offense. I have zero fear of them.
-
@KUSTEVE but you know they will play their best coming into Allen Fieldhouse. Pigs will fly before a team doesn’t come amped up to play us.
But overall I saw what you saw last night - a team that can be pretty good defensively but not exactly dynamic offensively like Duke or Michigan State or our guys.
-
@KUSTEVE TAM’s ranks 36th in the nation in rebound margin. Not bad. KU is 56th. What negative impact did you see from the failure to seal? Perhaps their rebound margin was bulked up against bad teams. And rebound margin can be affected on the offensive end if you make shots – not as many available rebounds, but also for the opposition(the other way around) because they have more balls to rebound – so both affect the margin. We’re 3rd, TAM is 49th there.
-
If the guard from A&M could have made all three of his FT’s this game might have ended differently in OT. Ayton fouled the shooter with just a few seconds left in the game. He missed one and that sealed their fate.
We’ve seen better offensive performances from A&M this season. Any casual fan could have tuned into KU’s game against Kentucky or Syracuse and seen that KU hasn’t exactly lit up the world against better competition either
These were two teams that could be bound for the later stages of the tournament. I thought A&M did an excellent job of limiting Ayton to quality shots because Zona played two bigs primarily A&M was able to leave the other big alone and trap him. Against KU A&M probably doesn’t get that luxury if they try and double/triple team Doke down in the low post. A&M’s length will bother us though especially pogo stick Williams who’s a bigger version of Jordan Bell.
-
He had made 17-18 or something like it prior to that.
Davis and Ayton are the real deal. Davis will be hard to stop with what we have but his rebounding was limited to 2 at this game. ESPN was hyping up the Ayton-Wiliams match up and I understand he is the higher ranked player but Davis is in my opinion the best player on the team. A&M has 7 players 6’-9" or taller.
Funny take. On the Arizona last foul on the 3 point attempt the refs went to review if his foot was on the line…of the NBA 3 -point line; he was well behind the college 3-point line.
-
@HighEliteMajor They don’t post up. reminds me of Baylor. They had a decided advantage down low, especially against Ristic, and never challenged him. How many times have we seen Baylor have one of the tallest front lines in basketball, and never play to the strengths? I thought the whole A & M team looked a little slow and cumbersome on offense.
-
@KUSTEVE just against Purdue last year, our speed will be the deciding factor. That Purdue game was perfect execution on how to beat a taller team.
-
That was funny.
I agree Davis is the best player on their team.
Williams hasn’t looked the part of a lotto pick so far in his 2nd year. He might have stayed a season too long stock wise
-
@KUSTEVE Interesting. I haven’t seen TAM play this season yet. DeCoursey on the radio today said he thought they were a top 5 type team. Baylor is an interesting comparison. Good info to look for.
-
It sure did not look like top 5 team last night. We will find out soon enough…
-
I don’t believe we’ve seen A&M’s best basketball yet. Remember they started the season down 2 starters and they are just now getting into game action on a regular basis. I still think they look like the best team in the SEC and by the time they come to Allen Fieldhouse this could be a team well equipped to give us a serious challenge
-
We all remember TAM giving Self one of his few home losses … no repeats, please.
-
@HighEliteMajor amen to that brother
-
@HighEliteMajor KU by 15. I think WVU will give us a much better game.
-
@KUSTEVE they always do. I would be surprised if they didnt.
-
@KUSTEVE @HawkChamp Huggins loves his bonus lol
-
@HighEliteMajor that was a good game, Acie Law, that’s a name I haven’t heard or thought of in a long time. He hit a tightly guarded 3 on Rush to seal it.
