Dean Wade Might Not Play Tomorrow
-
@BeddieKU23 Dude (I assume?) I am scared to death about the #16 thing. Seriously. We have NO business being a #1 seed, and if we actually are, i feel it’s a set up by the powers that be to make sure that Kansas is the first number one to be taken down by a 16.
We’ve set some records this year - 1st Self team to get swept by a big 12 opponent, 1st Kansas team to get beaten 78 times in a row in a single season in Lawrence (Hyperbole is my friend). I DON’T want to set this other new record.
-
I hope Carolina pounds Dook. Then we lock up a 1 seed. If we win our next two, I expect xavier to get beat by Nova again, so maybe we could be the 1 seed in the MW.
-
@BeddieKU23 ROTFLMAO…PHOF!
-
@nuleafjhawk KSU could have easily won in Lawrence. I’m sure the game today will be close. Wouldn’t shock me if KSU won…
-
@nuleafjhawk No business getting a 1 seed? Are you crazy?
-
They are talking about UNC possibly getting a 1 seed, so this KU team definitely has a shot…
Not a great year honestly.

You assumed correctly.
I am scared about everything especially without Azubuike. We survived one game where there was incentive (revenge) to not let Oklahoma St punk us a 3rd time. We should be equally motivated today playing the Purps and the squeaky bandit. I mean its 6 on 5 on the court, literally, as Bruce squeaks 5 feet in from his boundary circle.
Likely-hood of us losing to a #16 seed? Statistically zilch. Unwritten rule, not happening.
I think if we win the Big-12 tourney despite the injury setback we deserve to be rewarded although sitting in the #2 spot in Xavier’s bracket looks like a cozy spot to have as opposed to being put in the West where they will load up the bracket to beat us…
-
@BShark It’s a horrible year in college basketball. I don’t think there is a great team in the whole field. Still, if we win our next 2, we get a 1 seed.

That’s just ESPN choking on themselves as usual. If they didn’t talk them up they’d have to talk up Kentucky and then circle back to Duke. Well they probably already have…

@nuleafjhawk see jay baller about meds, soon. Your glass is empty!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 LOL - - Whaaaaa? - -do we have a patient in need of ummm some happy pills ? lol = = = =ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark AND - - there it is. - -I feel much better about the game tonight now. - -You have just secured our win lol - -Thanks buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m hearing both ways on Wade playing, kinda silly IMO. I wouldn’t chance him not playing next week but doubt they go anywhere anyway. @BShark UNC as a 1 seed is crazy, the 6th place ACC team is one of the top 4 teams in the nation? GTFO lol
-
I did some trolling on their boards - - -Imagine that lol. - -Anyways talk of that the foot he had trouble with before that the pin that is in the foot is inflamed again. - -I heard that and then also heard about stress fracture in the foot .
For me = - -I don’t care really he is a good player but doesn’t put the fear of GOD into me - - if he plays he plays - if not then so be it - -either way were gonna be ok.
-
Wade’s dad says game time decision.
-
KSU is safely in, just a question of seeding at this time.
-
@KUSTEVE I’m not crazy - just realistic. SO - as a one seed, what’s the expectation? Final Four - that’s the whole idea of getting a one seed. You think this team is final four material? Nope - neither do I.
-
Duke came from 10 down to beat UNC last week and probably will beat them again tonight. No way, no how, no ma’am that UNC is a #1 seed.
On a happier note, KU has picked up 4 wins over UK and 1 over UNC in the all time wins.

Now Offical - --DEAN WADE IS OUT for tonight - saying precautionary - Wade is now out. - - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark think his foot could get better in one day? Hopefully Bruce is not in charge!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Maybe Bruce is a miracle healer.
-
There was someone who stated that K-State losing Wade was like KU losing Doke.
The host said - - -umm NO it’s not and I agree. - -With K-State and Wade their losing their best player-- losing 20 points a game. - - With Ku - -even though a big loss - Doke isn’t even KU’s best player - -DeVonte Graham is - -thought he made a very good point. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Their big stepped up yesterday!

Word from my KSU friends is that he is good when aggressive but usually he is very soft. Also he fouls a lot which limits his minutes. Their other two bigs are not B12 caliber.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’m not concerned one bit about him. -If he shows big against us like he did yesterday I’d be shocked - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 MY WEEN will get every opportunity that’s for sure. Their other bigs are total scrubs.
-
Did he play against us?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He has started every game for them.
-
@BShark oh geez.
-
Stats are similar to Mitch. They have other post bodies, but none of them are any good. So I’m sure that means someone goes off for them in this game.
-
@nuleafjhawk What makes you think that I don’t think we’ll make the Final Four?
-
@KUSTEVE It would take a miracle but it’s possible, pretty wide open field.
-
@BShark He is trying to not to be penalized for losing Wade.
-
Kansas St announced in a press release that Bruce Weber will be extended through 2032 and receive a $15,000 pay increase for losing his Star player Dean Wade to injury before Semi-Final action against rival Kansas. Kansas St administration wanted to assure fans worried about the future of their program after a narrow win Thursday in Quarterfinal action against TCU saying " We feel Weber has earned this 14 year extension", “he coaches hard” and “has earned the trust of his players and fans”. “we are confident Bruce Weber will one day have no excuses who the best coach in Kansas is”.
-
@KUSTEVE Let me put it this way - I’m a pretty big KU fan. I had FF on my brain from way before the season began. After seeing us lose Billy Preston, multiple home games and lose to OSU twice - I personally don’t feel we’re Final Four material. With the almost unbeatable teams we’ve had in the past we are extremely prone to early upsets - I want to get there, I want to win the whole thing. I just don’t think this is the team to do it.
Here’s my challenge to the team - PROVE ME WRONG.

They( the team) proved me wrong yesterday. They have made a habit of it this season. Even our unbeatable teams have went home sulking. Maybe this one will do the unexpected. Need Doke back to do it though

KSU only has 7 wins against KU since 1990. That’s kind of crazy. With the way this season has gone, KSU will probably bring that total to 8 tonight. It would also be their first win against KU in the B12 tournament.

I don’t see them beating us without their best player. He’s the one guy that played like Kendall Smith playing us. Having said that Jatta will probably make 5 3’s and Mawien will have a career night
-
I’m predicting a Brucemas miracle and KSU wins. Barry Brown will go for 30+.

I see what your doing there!

I predict your thinking 1st round loss as a #1 or #2? It worked yesterday

We suck in KC. SUREFIRE LOSS. Stone cold lead pipe lock it in.

The Game’s over (even before it started)
-
Bill Self offers to even up the game by coaching with one hand tied behind his back.
-
And Self sends in Sosinski in the last minute to flatten Liberace who has been beside himself due to a single bad call by the refs and the whole game has been out of the coaches box and on the playing floor. The KU football player executes the “accidental” take down perfectly. Squeaks is helped to the locker room by his assistants, bruised, stunned, but otherwise ok (and his hair is perfect still). “The Tackle”, as it becomes known, becomes the stuff of legends for both teams, albeit told with slightly different perspectives.
-
@nuleafjhawk No one knows who will be in the Final Four yet. They lost to a team in a meaningless game after they had just won the outright conference championship for the 14th consecutive year. On the road. Then they turned around and beat the crap out of them. The reason we are in the lead for the 1 seed is because we have more Quadrant 1 wins than any team in basketball. We just completed the toughest, and most competitive conference schedule with essentially 7 guys. There is nothing that this team can’t do. Everytime the fan base was ready to write them off, they have proven the naysayers wrong. Now, I don’t expect you to suddenly start to believe in them, but some of us still do. So, until proven wrong, I will still believe we will make the Final Four, and win the national championship. I hope I’m right, and you’re wrong.
-
Wade in a full boot and limping. No chance he was playing today. Honestly not sure how he will be ready for NCAAT.
-
Wow, now Barry Brown to the locker room.
