Too Sooner to Give up OU-KU game thread
-
@DanR Ochai has been woefully short on every 3 he has taken.
-
@Woodrow Is he hurt? He seems really off.
-
A win tonight might have pushed us up a couple of spots. UK struggling and Purdue about to lose.
-
@joeloveshawks I feel the same…but I also think it could be a manek 3, Lawson missed bunny, buddy heild lite 3, grimes clank, and some layup…and dowe by 21…but the good news is we would be out of tos and the pain suffering will end quicker
-
@DanR I hate excuses, but it could just simply be the Freshman wall since he started so late. He’s had a rough 2-3 weeks
-
Second half prediction: We’ll foul more and Bill forces the play through Dedric every offensive possession. I hope he’s up for it.
-
I’m wondering if the streak ending will actually make this team play better in the B12 and NCAA Tournaments because there won’t be much pressure on this team and the expectations won’t be sky high like normal.
-
Dedric has no business guarding Manek. Every time he switched on him, Manek drained a three. So … hope that doesn’t happen second half!
-
Jeez
-
@Kcmatt7 ESPN is so bad. I go to their website to see what you mean about the Purdue game. I click on NCAAM and it shows three top 20 womens games going on!
-
Maniac can shoot but not a stud, stick w/him
-
They can’t even must a run or any game pressure on OU
-
I always wanted to get fouled and fall into the laps of the cheerleaders (don’t tell my wife)
-
Defense is nonexistent tonight. They’re turning misses into layups
-
3-20 from 3
-
What was that?
-
And they’re just daring us to shoot. Because why wouldn’t you?
-
We’re the team everyone wants to face in March.
-
what happened to Garrett
-
See man see ball?
-
@wissox we’re good on neutral courts!
With Doke
-
This team is ripe for the 5 /12 upset
-
Winning on the road is fools gold.
-
@Woodrow slow down, man. One loss at a time!
-
This team is historically bad on the road considering we are likely to finish undefeated at home this season…
-
If the committee based our tourney resume solely on the body of work since Dokes injury we shouldn’t even make the dance
-
Paging DOTSON. DOTSON? DOTSON?
-
Technically the streak was still alive win this game began. The effort and energy this team came out with is a embarrassment to the KU program. If I was a former player I would be pissed off.
However, when you don’t really have any players that have bought into the program ( sans Mitch) not sure what you can expect.
-
@Woodrow well, you’re not a former player, so relax
-
@Woodrow You can’t tell me Ochai doesn’t care. Nor that Dotson doesn’t try.
-
The first time I tuned in it was 23-7. The second time it was 52-35. My blood pressure is fine, I won’t turn back again. Good luck in the tournament boys.
-
@dylans are you watching?
-
-
This is turning into a cerealistic nightmare.
-
Yeah, this team just sucks without Dok. Dedrick is a great trashman, but can’t carry a team as the primary option.
-
Dedric might end up with 50 and the guards 10
-
Fire the coach, hire Les Miles. (oh sorry, thought I was watching the football team for a second)
-
Trying to decide when to turn the tv to househunters.
-
@Woodrow If you want to sell me on Grimes not trying I’ll bite, but not those two.
Lots of time left. We’ll see how it plays out.
-
@Woodrow you don’t think d dot, big Dave doke, Marcus, none of then has bought in to our program? Ochai
-
Just down 5 minus 15! Let’s go!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 frustrated fans everywhere want to know wtf?!? Lol we’re spoiled!!!
-
Only dedric shoots from now on…the rest of the season included
-
6-0 run!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No. I don’t think Freshman have enough equity to buy in yet. If they did you wouldn’t see this effort. This team can’t shoot, but defense is all effort and this team is exerting none.
-
looked like a good block by Dedric
-
That is the first time ever I have seen self just sit there when the team is coming to the bench
-
Could you imagine this team in an alternate universe where KT seals the deal (legally) and Dok is healthy? How would you like to guard Dok and Zion?
-
that was the worst series coming out of a time out that I have ever seen from a Bill Self team. Period
-
He said he was embarrassed earlier in the game. I’m never embarrassed being a fan of a team that has won 14 titles in a row, has been a #1 seed every season seemingly for half a decade, has defeated this years #1 team, has a HOF coach, etc. etc. and it takes a major injury, a trusted senior flaking out on us, the NCAA screwing us out of one of our best players to make us lose our streak. Not embarrassing. Bad luck? Maybe. But no one is to blame here. And oh, one other non embarrassing thing. This team will play in its 30th NCAA tournament in a row, and barring an upset, will win it’s 28th out of 30 first round games during that streak. Of course, it won’t be embarrassing either when once again 16,300 fans show up Saturday and give them a rousing ovation for the great accomplishment of all these years.
