@FarmerJayhawk Yeah I watched a fair bit of that game. They are just building drama for next weekend.
Really though it worries me because it’s in Philly. In Lawrence I’d say KU wins for sure.
It’s not the game being in Philly specifically that worries me, it’s that this is the road game before the Christmas break where Self’s teams historically suck that has me nervous.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 nah, not this year
-
Auburn is the most overrated team right now. Officials have been giving them games at home. They barely beat Saint Louis today and only shot 13/28 from the line. SLU only shot 8/19 from the line. I wonder how many times both teams have shot under 50% from the free-throw line…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Maybe the slow start to this game will help their focus.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 And the fact that we historically suck against Villanova doesn’t concern you?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich not last year
-
-
If Doke could swat a couple 3s into the bleachers that would be a nice statement against Villanova.
-
@BShark I thought SDS was the Robinson comp too. Good for DMac. He should have a monster junior season.
-
26 friggin’ points for Big Dave…
-
@DCHawker Perfect from the line too. Dude is just scorchin’
-
I’m really glad Michigan lost to Oregon today. Their fans were starting to annoy me. I hope Ohio St loses to Kentucky.
-
So why r they dropping um from Kc?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 don’t want to be associated with U of Mizzou
-
-
LOL DOKE CHILL
-
Dang chill doke!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Um…too indecisive?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Doke has zero chill today.

Nope because that’s not entirely accurate over the course of Self being here. The only time I remember a Jay Wright Nova team knocking off Self KU team with a truly inferior team like this year was early in Self’s tenure, 2004 or 2005 I think, and KU went into Philly undefeated and Nova whooped KU in KU’s annual road game before Christmas break game. The other losses to Nova have been when Nova was either superior to KU or close in talent and ability to KU.
-
Ok dumb question!

Great minds think alike.
-
@BShark for sure, kind hard to include me after my dumb question!🥴

I’ve been saying since McCormack made his on court debut that he was a T-Rob clone. Even last year when McCormack was playing way to fast, that was nearly identical to T-Rob’s freshman year as well.

Who said moss shouldn’t drive? @danr?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 A few of the times I thought KU was a bit better team and lost and Villanova got some nice whistles. 2016 comes to mind. One of the early season tournaments too when we played in a high school gym and Joe DeRosa was officiating I thought we were better, I forget the year.
The point is I think this is one of the season’s when we are clearly the better team but we could end up losing. Road games are tough.

@chriz Piper and Armstrong… local Jayhawks tv guys
I’m talking about the audio visual guys controlling the sound and video. Coordination doesn’t seem too good.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 T-Rob used to get two fouls called on him just walking onto the court. I don’t think he fouled out of a game his senior year
-
DOTSON SLICK
-
Only 2 fouls this half a piece. Refs have a reservation at the Plaza they have to keep
-
@DanR you didn’t answer my question!
-
100% ok with padding the Dotson AA Stats until 5 min mark.

Pretty good with this tbh. The game was over by halftime, just get everyone home healthy.
-
Xavier with the baaaaad loss to Wake Forest.
-
@chriz Gotcha. I agree the audio is horrible.
This is the worst quality broadcast I’ve seen on + though, so hopefully it’s an anomaly
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Did I say that? Probably in the context of he should shoot threes
-
@DanR Wasn’t T-Rob’s senior year in the NBA??

I know this a game KU can lose. My point is that playing Villanova isn’t the reason I’m nervous about that. It’s because it’s the road game before the players go home for Christmas and KU has had a lot of shit performances regardless of who the opponent was in this spot on the schedule.
And no, KU was not better than Nova in '16. I love Perry Ellis, but those were some the worst teams of the Bill Self era.
-
@DanR agreed, the worst TV broadcast I’ve seen in years period.
-
@tundrahok I swear I meant to type “final” year and it came out “senior”
-
KU was definitely better than Nova in 16, and should have won that game. And yes KU has been historically bad recently against Villanova. How are you always wrong?
-
Might hit that hundo for you @DanR
-
Hitting FTs for once. 14/16
-
I was at the last yr nova game, right after my knee surgery, a strange man had to give me a hand to help me up the steps.
cool game cause my bf Mahomes was there and he stood up and encouraged the crowd to cheer.
-
Kentucky looking unimpressive at home today against a not very good Georgia Tech team.
-
@DanR and we said he’s a good free throw shooter

T-Rob didn’t commit a single foul his senior year because he never played his senior year. I also wasn’t comparing freshman McCormack to junior T-Rob because that’s a bad comparison. I was comparing freshman McCormack to freshman T-Rob who did foul like crazy because he played out of control just like McCormack did last year.
-
I remember falling in love w/Trob his frosh year. He was ooc a lot but I always wanted to see more !
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I was inelegantly agreeing with your comparison of the two freshman bigs and how they improved
-
This game is about the opposite of last game in terms of starting slow and then coming on in the 2nd half.
