Shouldn’t have needed it. Braun getting mauled. Seriously stunk of someone having OSU +6.5 on this crew
-
They finally called a foul. OSU only committed about 20 there.
-
84% at the line for Marcus is a HUGE improvement.
-
Bill’s face is back to a normal color. That’s good.
-
Jalen give it up you sick at free throws
-
Nice read on the board
-
Dave dominated this half. For real
-
Fouling down 11 with 40 seconds left lol
-
@BeddieKU23 he really fell off from his shining moments to start the season
-
@DanR start the chant
-
Make Gonzaga fans wait. HA
-
Total jump ball
-
Hes got a lot to learn
-

His help on Cunningham was big all night as well.
-
Wilson got a lot of ball on that tbh
-
Big time game from Dave. Don’t win without it
-
3 guys with double doubles
-
Maybe best game of the season for Marcus and Dave.
-
Entire starting five in double digits again
-
Not perfect, but pretty dang good.
-
Bet c
a fun team mate
-
We beat a ranked team by double digits. I can’t be mad
-
Well done Dave. Now let’s see everybody else step up next time
-
Rock chalk!
-
So Gonzaga’s good

Other than Och, everyone else had their moments.

I can say this because we won.
That was a horribly officiated game IMO. Like very different calls on both sides of the court. 2 or 3 uncalled push offs on OSU and phantom ones on us.
Lots of no calls on obvious contact. Just really a poor job.

Funny thing is, he was the only one showing any offense early on
-
Christian Braun 15 points on 7 shots, 10 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals
-
@Kcmatt7 If Boynton shreds the refs in the post game I wouldn’t even blink.
-
That Marcus charge? Nobody was there!
-
If we cut the turnovers in half we would of beat them by 20 plus I’m optimistic this team can figure it out and finish the season strong
-
Do we want to play in the big 12 tourney? Have we had covid? I swear self said we have had it in that Hawk talk with gunner the kid that has cancer. He might have meant they, gunners family had it. So weird we haven’t had anyone w/it!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 cancel it
-
I remember Self talking about false positives from testing. But I thought re-testing confirmed they were false.
-
Iowa St at 6 on Thursday guys
-
when is the last time we put 50 points up in a half. - - Outrebounded Okla St 45/32 - - pretty decent game over all
-
@tundrahok scares me if we haven’t.
-
I know coach drew had it awhile ago! They cancelled their zags game, that was early.

If KU has to postpone games due to Covid, it won’t be because of the players, at least not at this point. Christmas break was big hurdle for the players to get past without Covid and they did. They’re pretty much isolated in McCarthy and really only leave for team related activities. Their food is brought to them, they have online classes, and generally don’t have any interactions with the student body right.
Any Covid outbreak within the program is going to come from the coaching staff or the support staff who aren’t isolated in McCarthy and do have to interact with other people.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 some have gf’s. You don’t think classes? Every team has had it but us? I agree we r doing a great job. But all it takes is one, asymptomatic friend. Since we mainly play 5, we’d be in trouble. Bryce should be getting close.

Covid postponements won’t come from the players, it will come from either the coaches or support staff if anything happens because the players have sacrificed social lives during the season to minimize the risks of an outbreak.

A couple of rocket science observations - McCormack had a monster 2nd half. I’m obviously not going to knock his performance (nor his tendency to show up for only one half). I’m going to ease up on him, we’ve been losing of late and I’ve been wrongly been blaming him.
Braun is a very important player for this team. Even when not making shots (people guard him, know that he can knock them down), he always seems to be around the ball making something positive happen. I feel much better about our team after this win.

@BeddieKU23 Last two games they’ve been much better. Win the next three games and get us back into the Top 25. Then let’s win 2 of our last 3, please.
Would be nice to give UT a little bit of payback. And I’d love to see Marcus guard Butler 1v1 the majority of the game in the Baylor rematch. Garrett helped to force 7 turnovers from Cade last night and even though he got 26, it didn’t FEEL like he got 26. He wasn’t lighting us up.
-
Agree the level of effort has been much better the last two. Noticeable. Now if only they could make layups and stop turning the ball over…
