Closed it 13-1. Hell yeah
-
Big 12 basketball is the exact opposite of Big 12 football lol
-
Congrats grandpa Bill
-
WVU had 20 points in the first 9-1/2 minutes - just 29 in the next 30+. Defense really clamped down…
-
That’s a 19 point half for WVU.
-
Take me home…
-
How many points did WVA score since the 13 minute mark? Two?
-
So I said before the game that if we’re under 14 turnovers we’ll win.
13 turnovers on the game. AND 13 steals. Our defense is nuts.
-
-
@wissox we won! You didn’t give up!
-
Weird box score – we get dominated on the boards, 15 fewer shot attempts, shoot less than 50% from the field and less than 30% from 3 (just 4 made), our typical 66% from FT – and win by 9 on the road against a top 20 team that hadn’t lost at home yet this year…
-
Back to back road games holding opponents under 50. That’s an elite defense and did I hear Fran actually say KU was the best defense in the country as well tonight?
-
@FarmerJayhawk Basically when you said this game was over at the 13 minute mark everyone thought you were calling it for WVU. But I knew you had the utmost confidence that the team just needed a little adversity to wake them up.
-
Very nice last 5 or so minutes. Did we not learn anything from the chiefs?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t know if you remember my old mantra, but I don’t get nervous until the last minute of the game.
-
@wissox I’m always nervous, but I never give up! Seen the best come backs!
-
Guys when is the last time we have seen a defense like this? - - I’m telling you this defense can take us a long ways, can’t believe I am saying that - - but DAM - -this defense is just Elite. - -Marcus Garett on the defensive end is just insane. - - mercy I love this defense. - -and it is just like at time is BAM and here comes the run - -holy crap - - just shut down
-
So on the dble team, is our center field guy not dropping down? I’d like to see those again.
-
Numbers-wise, this is the best defense Kansas has had per Ken Pom. I think our 2008 team had better defense, but this is right up there.

I didn’t realize that. -that’s pretty dam good holding them under 50 on their home floor. - -Like you said – that’s ELITE

Exactly!!
-
@FarmerJayhawk @wissox i do the same thing, when I say it’s over we usually step it up lol

Eight. Holy shit.
-
@kjayhawks yeah right
-
@BShark none in the last 4+ minutes. Doke shut them down
-
Wild that it might take Only one or two losses to win the big 12. Usually 3 or 4 will get a share of the title
Of course, still a lot of games left
-
Doke was protecting the bucket
-
@Crimsonorblue22 hey it usually works for us, don’t hate. Appreciate!
-
8 points for WVU the last 13:31. Bananas.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Germans
-
-
@BShark oh my!

Think about it bud. - -Like someone here said , we just had 2 road games where we held both under 50 on their home floor - - that’s some nasty defense man
-
@BShark Seriously? 8 points? I guess you’re right. I think it was 41-30. So a 28-8 run to close it out.
-
Marcus Garrett is shooting better from 3 than Dotson.
-
-
I kinda laugh at the first half stats for Tshiebwe in both games. Doke was out for long stretches in both first halfs. David hopefully can watch this film and see how badly he was outta position defensively.
-
Anybody listening to post game? Self talking about marcus’s D. Shouted out 2 National writers Dana and somebody else. Dana bitched about Silvio and KU! Wrote nasty column. Side note there by me. Anyway Self was talking how great his D was.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 link to article?
-
Damn dotson with another injury.
I’ll never doubt Marcus again. His defense became a difference maker on so many possessions in that run. Guy rallied the troops big time
-
@BeddieKU23 Hip again?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich knee
-
@kjayhawks Dana’s article? Nope, awhile back. Probably easy to find
-
@Crimsonorblue22 How bad?
-
@BShark just posted above a twitter post that he tweaked it, hadn’t practiced since sat.
-
I guess it’s good that our next 2 games are at home against Oklahoma and Iowa St.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich ou is decent
-
They are. We beat them in Norman by 14. We should be able to beat them in Lawrence even without Dotson.
