@jayballer73 stop guys! We need these tests! We are healthy for a change! And, save the neck for me, Clark🦃
We are healthy, but there’s a long history of Bill Self KU teams struggling and/or losing the road game before Christmas break.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I wonder what his record is in these games, I bet it’s over .500 but not by a lot.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I know, but I don’t believe in that.

I have no clue what you’re talking about

The guard that’s missed 3 or 4 games

@FarmerJayhawk Likekele

@BShark thx, I thought he was saying that earlier, leaky, close?
-
@BShark do u know? Heard he was in street clothes on the bench. Can u get out of your place? I’m off
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It’s not being disclosed. Not sure what the scuttlebutt is.
Checked their forum and their mods are aggressively editing/deleting posts that mention anything about what it might be. Very odd.

Just read a sad story about what Cassius Winston’s been going thru. Well written, but tough! https://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnists/shawn-windsor/2019/12/15/michigan-state-basketballcassius-winston-grief-brother-death/4410636002/

for sure history doesn’t lie. - - We just don’t play well right before the break Healthy or not , still not sure why. Think a lot is the kids are just not focused more focused o getting home to family - going to be a real test Saturday for sure.

Ah! I was talking about Leaky Black at Carolina.

UNC drops out of the Top 25 for the first time in 106 weeks.
Kansas has the longest active streak at 207 weeks. The 2nd longest active streak is Duke at 70 weeks.

@KirkIsMyHinrich - wow…

ya I knew we had the longest streak for the top 25 - - and I think we have the longest streak for the top 10. - -If not for the top ten then it was just broken in the last couple of years - - have we fell out of the top 10 in the last couple of years? - - I think we hold that streak too
-
@jayballer73 The wonderful healing of painful memories over time!
Last year we were number 1 for several weeks in the fall, but by mid-March we were at #17 in the AP poll, and a couple weeks earlier we actually fell to #18 in the UPI/Coaches poll.

Ahh ok , thanks for helping out. – I’m telling you my memory is getting really bad lol. That’s what happens when you get old. Kinda of remember that now that you reminded me, I was actually kind of worrying about if we lost again falling completely out of the top 25 and ending that streak. - -Good looking out my friend. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Pretty easy to see why North Carolina has dropped out of the top 25.
The numbers don’t lie - -pretty ugly: - - Only scoring 68.4 per game - - - 39.8 fg % - - - 63.2 ft % - -& - - 28.7 % - -three point shooting. - - Not going to win to many games with those kind of numbers - - lost 4 out of there last 5

Anyone else find it funny that VCU is ranked higher than Texas?
-
Who here thinks that Utah has a shot at beating Kentucky tonight?
-
@rockchalkwyo I think Kentucky will drill them. Utah is ranked 107th in KenPom. Kentucky oddly enough has kind of flown under the radar this year after losing to Evansville. They play Ohio St. on Saturday which should be a good game.
-
@Woodrow man I didn’t know they were that low. Thanks Woodrow
-
Utah is SUPER young. Almost all freshman and sophomores playing. But they have beaten Minnesota and BYU so far this year.
I’d imagine it ends up a tight game, UK struggles to score, but pulls it out at the end.
-
Ohio St will paste Kentucky.
-
BYU with Childs back beat a good Utah St squad. That could be a team that makes the tourney down the line
-
@BeddieKU23 I think so too if Duane Washington plays. If not could be a good game. He was out against Minnesota and we know what happened there.
-
The “Pearl”???
-
Good point about Washington. He’s their best perimeter shooter (53%) and without them they have to lean a little bit more on the freshman- who’s really good but I think it throws the balance of their nucleus off. That would even the game out a bit if he doesn’t play. The Minnesota game seems like one of those days- like KU had against Duke. They shot 38% and Marcus Carr had 35, 20 above his average

I DO
-
North Carolina getting drilled AGAIN. - -down 22 to Gonzaga at the 8 minute mark of the 2nd half.
Do have to give them a little credit though they tried hard , just ran out of gas - -but horrible defense and can’t shot worth a dam - this will make 5-6 losing. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Tried hard award?
-
The WCC leaders delivered a butt-kicking tonight
Zags over Carolina by 13, and St. Mary’s clobbers a pretty good Arizona State team by 40.
Even San Francisco kept up with Stanford last night until the last couple of minutes.
-
Man Utah was in control of this entire 1st half. had everything rolling their way , and then just folded in the last 2 1/2 minutes of the half. - -They had just went up by 12 and then turn right around and let Kentucky end the 1st half on a 8-0 run - -Utah up 35-31 at the half now.
It was awesome watching the Kentucky fans just seating their in their seats arms folded and silent. This is a Utah Team that got beat by Coastal caroling by 22 points and have led Kentucky the entire 1st half.
The way they let Kentucky back in at the end of the 1st half I think will be a total different story 2nd half - -dam shame - -they had these guys right where Kentucky needs to be - sucking butt and blew it - -new ball game now. -DAM - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well Utah came out on fire again starting 2nd half. - -Now up on Kentucky by 14 with like 14:30 to go - -this would be a sweet way to end my day - Utah lost to coastal Carolina by 22 - - lost to Tulane geez
-
Utah playing to lose - - -not to win , playing scared. - then again the officials decided to step in. - - Utah stopped being aggressive - -now only up by 3 with 3:42 left to go
-
Utah gonna mess around and lose
-
HUGE 3
-
My goodness. Utah choking bad
-
That was a charge.
-
Wait they missed the restricted area call? He was like 2 feet out. Glad it got fixed.
-
Mercy Utah tried everything in it’s power to lose that game. - - -I couldn’t believe they called a block before they got it right. - - wasn’t even close to being in the restricted area. - - Ahhh that’s so sad Kentucky loses to Evansville at home - -not loses to a team that got beat by COASTAL CAROLINA by 22 and Tulane - - ahh good night to sleep on. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m glad I don’t have to hear Bill Walton any more.
-
@jayballer73 - great prognostication!

Let me quote a famous Walton Quote - -( PLEASE ) - – LMAO. - - have a great night my friend. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Man UNC has hit tough times. 4 of their starters combined for 12 points. Yikes. I’m sure the UNC boards right now are salty
Kentucky losing is a glorious thing.
Baylor won at home by 28
Cincinnati pulled away from Tennessee. KU plays them in January
East Tennessee St went on the road and beat LSU pretty handily. ETSU should make the tourney
UNC Greensboro beat Vermont by 1 on the road. Vermont almost beat Virginia earlier in the year.
-
Gives me a bad feeling for Saturday. - -Teams being ranked # 1 in the Nation haven’t fared well this year.
N Carolina is just sad right now - - - Duke getting beat on their home floor by SFA - - -Kentucky - well nuff said.
With this being KU’S 1st road game of the year , playing a pretty good team that have given us fits at different times , and I’m telling you from things I’m seeing Villanova is looking forward to this game. We’ve always seem to not play our best right before Christmas. -Lot of things going against us for this game, Just don’t get a good feel , it’s a crazy year this year in College Basketball.
Bottom line is Nobody is really separating themselves from everyone else. There really is NOT that a true dominant team this year. I think if we could come out of there with a win , I think you could very easily make a case for Us to be that team. Let’s hope we come out focused and ready to go against these guys. -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
