@BShark Yea I’m sort of glad we didn’t have to watch four years of him.
-
I’ll continue to take my crow served with dinner regarding Grimes. Just a complete whiff from what I thought he’d be at this level. Seen some of his games this year. I will say this, he’s a better college player now then he was when he played for KU. Good fit in the AAC.

I would argue that he is just about the same player he was at KU - just two years older, gets a few more minutes per game, and plays against inferior competition most games. While he is the Cougars leading scorer, he is very inefficient. As @Kcmatt7 noted, he shooting 38% from the field - and, that is actually deceptive. He’s only had 6 games all year when he’s made above 40%. His scoring average is largely a function of taking lot of shots. He’s also gotten a slight bump from improving his FT% (80). He’s at best an average rebounder for his position/size. Maybe an above average passer when he doesn’t actually shoot. All in all, a decent starter on a decent team in a middling conference, but that’s about it. Definitely has not lived up to the hype he had coming out…
-
He is about the same I agree. He has the role that he wants which is being a ball dominant guard, the role he lost to Dotson while at KU.

Wacky Wednesday at its finest.
Really crazy actually makes me feel some what better. Not trying to make excuses but mercy - -Villanova loses to St Johns ? – Houston loses , so there goes # 3 & # 5 . - -TCU beats OSU , believe it or not that doesn’t really stun me at TCU and yes TCU has had some moments as a decent team ,
Just a strange year , Duke - - - Kentucky - - - KU & N Carolina to lesser degree - - Michigan State . Like Farmer says about the only every day in - -day out is Gonzaga & Baylor and even Baylor has screwed around a bit at times not much but some.
What’s actuall kind of funny don’t know if others have noticed but like when Kentucky ( especially ) & Duke when these guys are playing you can hear these announcer almost BEGGING Kentucky and Duke to win. They make one - -two good plays and the announcers go - - NOW THERE YOU GO keep working keep working , look out here they come and then they do a bonehead move lmao. - -wonder how big these ass kissers hankies are ? -Just strange year, in reality it’s NOT just KU I guess
-
@BeddieKU23 he is James Harden without the pure shot. A guy who thinks he is an iso player, but that in a tough conference will only lose you games.
-
Well was surfing the boards, went to one of my favorites - - Kentucky to see what was the latest. - -Crazy how quickly the tide turns. Seems just like yesterday their Coach Cal was walking on water , TODAY - - -not so much. Crazy how many want Cal OUT - - - GONE - - FIRED - - FORCED whatever. Thread after thread after thread. - -Makes me feel a little better about our off year.
So here is a little fun fact that might make your day better , Did you know that since 2015 Kentucky & Coach Cal or whoever - -Kentucky is 22-22 against top 25 ranked teams ? - - -22-- & 22 - -the fans are stunned - -up in arms talking about how sad that is - -that even set me back a little THE SO CALLED KING of the Bluebloods the winningest program in basketball history - - 22 & 22 - - since 2015 - -hope that lil tid bit makes your day go a little better. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I thought it was a pipe dream, but if this keeps up, we might pass UK in all-time wins by season’s end, or next season at the latest. We’ve already made up 7 of the 16-game deficit we had at the start of the year.

we get closer anyways , but not gonna happen this year OUR team not that strong to make up 9 more games this year

Baylor has had to Cancel it’s next two games against TCU Saturday and then Oklahoma @ Oklahoma next week due to Big 12 restrictions and Covid
-
Absolute Must see game of the day, - -everybody has to watch this game, gonna be a great game. # 5 Houston vs Our Lady of the Lake. - - -( Roflmmfao ) - - I’m dead serious with this I seen it in the Schedule of games for today. I was like WHAT ? - - WHAT ? - - Our Lady of the Lake ? - -Who the F is that? - -that’s even much worse then if Bill had the guys play the Topeka YMCA , and WHY they having this practice in the middle leaning towards end of the season ? - Maybe Grimes can reach double figures in this scrimmage - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

ISU will not go away today.
Mizzou hammering Bama is the surprise of the day.
-
Bamas rise was fools gold
-
@BeddieKU23 Bama could beat anyone in the country or lose to anyone any given night. I do like Nate Oats a lot. Guy to keep an eye on.
-
They lack a big and have to play a lot of athletes at positions that don’t fit but agree they can beat anyone if they make 20 3’s in a game which they are capable of doing.
Oats is a solid coach
-
Mizzou only up 1 with a minute to go…
-
Mizzou laying it on Alabama. Cuonzo Martin is building a program in Columbia. With the high school talent in that state, if they keep winning, look out.
-
Oklahoma St. over Texas in double OT.
-
And Mizzou damn near blew a sure fire blowout.
-
North Carolina is a joke defensively

Duke is a joke Period lol - -their olay defense looks familer to ours at times

we think we are having problems ? - -Can you imagine how it is to be a Duke & Kentucky fan this year - -Kentucky lost - - -AGAIN to Tennessee at Kentucky - -hate it when that happens lol

Have just as many losses as Duke. Can’t really talk tbh but yeah they both are not making the tournament

Do you seriously think a team that is currently ranked 27 in NET ratings is going to miss the tournament? You might be the only person who thinks KU misses the dance entirely right now. All 7 of KU’s losses are to Quad 1 teams in NET ratings to go along with 4 wins over Quad 1 teams right now.
Duke on the other hand has multiple losses to Quad 3 teams (sub 100) and only 1 Quad 1 win over 47th ranked Clemson. Duke and Kansas may each have 7 losses, but those 7 losses are not equal. Duke will not be a tournament team, but KU absolutely will be in the NCAA tournament this year anywhere between a 7-10 seed unless they’re able win against Texas or Baylor in their last 2 games in which case KU likely moves into the 5-6 seed range.
-
At this point, I’d be satisfied with an 8/9 seed and have KU create a little panic in a 2nd round Villanova/Michigan/Houston/Ohio State matchup. Survive first round, get hot in round 2 to beat the one good team in the region and then make a run against the rest of the crappy teams. Who knows. Probably going to be Zags and Baylor at the end. Texas could get there. I’m not convinced Michigan or Nova is legit.

Exactly, comparing Duke’s loses to KU’S this year is insane. - -like said Duke has loses to Quad 3 - -KU has I believe 4 wins against Quad 1 teams. With the remaining schedule KU could still end up say 16/17 wins against say 10 losses. Have seen way to many times teams with that same amount of loses in the tourney. can’t begin to predict where they would be seeded hell maybe even a 12 seed, think they will be higher but there is no way they miss the tourney unless they lose every single remaing game, sorry but your just off with that
-
Just read Baylor has postponed 3 more games .Article just came out like 15 minutes ago. Makes 5 straight game postponed by Baylor because of COVID. Games against Texas Tech scheduled for the 13th - - - West Virginia scheduled for the 15th - - & West Virginia scheduled for the 18th have all been postponed - - Dam COVID. wouldn’t be surprised if our game with them didn’t end up getting postponed also
-
I guess I wasn’t clear, that comment was Duke/Kentucky are not making the tournament.
If KU is ranked 27th in the NET at season’s end they will make the tourney. If they continue to slide into the 30’s, even 40’s there will be real concern. This could be a 3-10 team against Q1 by end of season. They have to avoid bad losses in the next 8 days. They go 4-0 and there’s no concern.
-
KU -6.5 tonight. Someone knows something
-
I don’t know it seems like there is money to be made betting against KU and points this yr.
The injury to Montcrieffe could be a reason. He is one of two bigs they have
-
Was hoping to see BYU give Gonzaga a game, but not seeing it so far.
Usually they and St. Mary’s are normally the only WCC teams to give the Zags any trouble, but the Gaels are having an off year.
-
Such a strange season Games going on almost everyday and times. - -Example just watching the beginning of Duke & Norte Dame - - crazy
-
Duke goes down again, this time at Durham - to a 7-10 Norte Dame team ( 4-7 ) in league - -Duke falls to 7-8 and ( 5-6 ) in League - -93-89. - -Duke at one point led by 15 - - ooops
-
Not a chance in hell they make it now
-
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:

chance has dropped now to 10 % lol
-
Well pretty sure Duke’s 24 straight appearances in the NCAA just went right out the door. After losing today they had their chances drop to 10 % another streak out the door
-
BRUTAL loss at home for UK. Now 5-13
-
1st time since 1974 that Duke & Kentucky has been under 500
-
Kentucky was actually really lucky, normally a 30 % 3 pt shooting team BUT tonight like 12-22 somewhere in there could of been a lot worse - -5-13 - - -YaZaaaaaa
-
As bad as we are (by Kansas standards) at least we’re not 7-8 or 5-13.
That last inbounds play by Kentucky actually made me laugh out loud. 4.3 seconds left and you don’t pass to your point guard who is wide open at half court. Instead you pass to your big man who dribbles slowly a few times before picking the ball up and throwing it to the Arkansas player who dunks it as time expires. They didn’t even get it across half court.
Pretty good Tuesday.
-
Been a really good afternoon/night 1st Duke gets beat at home by Norte Dame - - - Then Kentucky pulls the bone head play at the end of the game gets beat at home - -Now K-State getting their ass handed to them by Texas at home - - oh yes lovely night

@BShark we need to beat Texas. We can do it, we have the technology. We can make our team better than it was before…
-
@BShark In all fairness, they’ve played a lot of tight games. And almost any other coach in America with that roster almost certainly has 8 or 9 wins.
I can only imagine what Bill would be able to do with Sarr and Washington. Offensively and defensively.

Saadly I have to agree. – I think Jimmy Dykes has made a good point. He said multiple times and it true just seems come the last 4 minutes of a game when they are close , they just can’t seem to close it out.
I think now it’s playing HUGE in their heads, and the pressure from the Kentucky fans , you know those kids read/listen to that stuff and they are roughing them up pretty bad - -JUST HAS to play games in their heads. - -Almost like that final 4 minutes something bad starts to happen and it’s like - - well here we go again. - -you have to figure a lot of their problem is at their PG - -Askew re-classified he still supose to be a Senior in High School and he getting thrown into that type of situation on such a big stage - like some have said doesn’t seem fair.
Have to wonder though too if there isn’t finger pointing going on one player to another friction at this point - -who knows.,
Having said all that, one big thing the fans are worried about is - - - How soon or if KU catchs them for all time wins , you would think there would be more important things for them to worry about right? - -So bottom line , I do feel some what sorry for the kids - - but bottom line it’s Kentucky - - sucks to be them lmao gotta love it - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
