    enbeleivable.

    This team really brings it out of us.

    I almost didn’t drink for this game. Glad I did.



  • Another wide open brick



  • Joe Derosa called that a foul. Seriously should not be employed.



  • What a dumb call



  • What happened to any contact arund th head had to be reviewed?



  • Nice try there ref.



  • Absolutely absurd foul



  • At least we have enough wins to qualify for the NIT.



  • Fire the refs



  • @nwhawkfan serious?



  • Geez this is a freakin nightmare

    On the bright side: Ochai

    The only bright side

    I’m in next year mode.

    Dotson, Grimes, Garrett, Ochai and Dave is a good core.



  • This is just a very low BBIQ team.



  • Later, Amigos. Going to be pretty bad rest of the season, I think, unless we get a Silvio bailout again.



  • WTH is going on with Big Mac?



  • shaka’s first in league win against KU?



  • Lost 3 of the last 4. Team is trending in the wrong direction.



  • @Bwag at Texas. Yes



  • We had a great chance when they through the ball away…then Decric takes the long 3.

    Hell no…this is a damn NCAA conspiracy.



  • Wow the refs had no bearing but that was a terribly officiated game



  • Somehow we broke 60 points…



  • threw the ball away.



  • that kentucky game just took all the life out of this team



  • Well, #15 is going to be really difficult now…

    Only slightly exaggerating. Out next two games are vs. Tech at home and KSU at Bramlage. I could see this team going on a losing streak. I’m not seeing a whole lot of confidence on the court.



  • Oh don’t even trip - - -there is more to come , say Saturday – then @K-State the fun is just beginning.

    These teams have waited for this for soooo long - - screw them all



  • Go Vandy.

    Difficult? The only thing about 15 is about where we drop after this nasty loss



  • kjayhawks said:

    Disagree…when nothing is being called for 3/4 of the game and it begins to affect how you play - case in point - Lightfoot holding ground and called for a foul and next time out, doesn’t belly up as firm and they score over him…that makes a difference



  • Crap did Adidas check to the refs bounce? Lol. Nike’s sure didn’t.



  • Let’s see, Ochai led in points and rebounds. Dotson’s A/TO ratio is 4:1. Our future looks bright.

    2 games in a row



  • That last call was hilarious!



  • The 2 guys were slow dancing



  • Weirdly, the stats don’t show how bad we sucked.



  • What a game. I left work early and rushed home. Should have just gone to Chick-fil-A.



  • @DanR difference looked like the 3 ball



  • Let me ask this again - - IN Big 12 play - -how long have we lead toal in these games. – These other schools are just eating this up to see us this bad – STILL hard for me to believe that one guy can make that much of a difference.

    We was behind for right at 38 minutes out of 40 - -just insane. - -My belief - -not so much about missing ONE player - -my belief ? - thanks for asking - -My belief is a very inconsistent Vick - -an absent Vick - - - -A very under achieving Quentin Grimes - - a - player that is NO THREAT from the outside - - tell me please how many here thought would we would be seeing Marcus getting these kind of Minutes - - -The NCAA still screwing us for the entire season with Silvio - - Silvio is the victim here - -Punish the guardian – NOT Silvio - - - Then Doke DID get hurt - -these things - - -these are the reason - -NOT cause ONE player gets hurt - -

    THIS is what these other schools have been waiting for – hope they enjoy – it isn’t gonna stay this way long. - - - -Grimes comes back - - -Doke may come back - - -Obaji - will be here - - - -Dotson will be here - -possibly be here - - - Precious may be here - -who knows - - enjoy this while you can BOTTOM FEEDERS - - ENJOY INDEED - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73 We led 0.4% of the time tonight.



  • Agree. Inconsistent Vick, Q not performing like projected, Doke hurt. That adds up to, overall, not as good a team as we thought. i’m not even counting SDS, because I didn’t really think he was ever in the picture.



  • Coach just said - just have to play with what we got - - said NOT EVEN A SNIFF - -from the NCAA about Silvio



  • Self had a great post game interview, I thought



  • I had to miss the game - looks like that was a blessing? Scored 63 points against a team that gave up 98!!! to a lousy Georgia team 3 days ago. Similar to losing to a WVU team that had lost by 31 the game before they played us and by 19 at home the next game. Is it too much to say the bottom has fallen out? The old saying is that it is always darkest before the dawn, but dawn seems a very distant glimmer right now…



  • @jayballer73 we are kansas not an east coast school we all maybe dead before SDS gets any ruling. Doke would’ve made a huge difference tonight and the other 2 loses recently. He is shooting over 80% inside 2 foot, having a big guy to get a bucket in defensive battle is huge, not to mention he would’ve altered and probably fouled on several opposing teams easy shots at the rim.



  • Don’t have a leader, like Graham. Don’t have a shooter. Don’t have a rim protector. Still pretty good on defense. I’m impressed we didn’t lose that game by more.



  • I suppose doke really was the pulse of the team. Since Michigan st it’s been a slow but gradual decline. Self isnt getting what he wants from this bunch. This is not what we expected. We expected improvement as we always see. We are seeing regression. Oh well. It’s up to the guys to find pride and their will to win at this point.

    I’ve got to go, not sure if I’ll watch the recording when I get back.

    So I got back and this is what I saw. Putrid offense combined with unbelievably bad officiating and some defensive lapses leads to an ugly defeat.

    How do refs not call a foul on a team for about 25 minutes of clock time? Seriously, I know we can blame ourselves, but I put this one on officials. Texas was causing so many turnovers by fouling. Reaching right in and fouling. I’m not even positive we win if it was evenly called, but I sure would have liked to have seen us have a chance.

    And of course I blame the NCAA who treat us and Duke unfairly. We lose questionable players every year, Duke doesn’t with similar questions, and then everyone fawns all over Duke how great they are. We’ve been pretty good for a long time thanks to Self, but it’s hard to compete with the elite.

    Rant over, looking forward to the next action whenever that is.



  • @kjayhawks

    Just for fun, I can think of a few worse games. We got totally owned at OSU in the mid 90’s. It was about a 30 point beatdown.

    Loss to Northern Iowa. We were horrible that game. One of the few KU games I ever turned off.

    The game at WVU where Wiggins scored 40 something. Awful beatdown.

    The Kentucky loss in the 1st game of the year a few years ago. Big stage, embarrassing result.

    I don’t think tonight came close to any of those. Like I said above, a fairer called game and we have a chance despite our lousy play.



  • Oh boy. That wasn’t pretty. Just finished the DVRd game.

    Man, this may be the hardest KU team to watch play that I can recall in the history of my fandom.

    It’s like pulling teeth just to get a shot off sometimes. My negative view of the game:

    — Why is Vick so completely out of control every time he dribbles? It’s like he’s a merry go round trying to hold onto the ball as it spins.

    — Ochai played hard. His future is bright. Tough. Hoping his handle improves over time. Nice southpaw flush!

    — The few times Vick hasn’t started it hasn’t gone well for him.

    — some interesting whistles.

    — I can’t recall a game where it’s been so difficult to get a shot off. Texas ain’t that good.

    — Did Grimes play?

    — For apparently the best big man passer in the history of the game, Dedrick sure couldn’t pass out of a double team.

    — God I hate all of Vick’s game except spot up shooting.

    — Still love me some Dotson. I wish he’d find a midrange game and shoot the ball once in a while.

    — Our lack of playable size kills us a lot of the time. Or is it that we should blame Self for not developing Big Dave and Mitch?

    — Did I mention Vick’s lack of defensive ability? Or is it lack of intelligence to play D?

    — I guess if coach thought he’d have Dok and Silvio all year, no need to bring the other bigs along too fast.

    — KJ enters the game. Whistle. Turnover. Perplexed look on his face.

    — man. This team. I guess they aren’t frustrating because at this point I don’t expect a road win.
