Anybody hear if the novas gillespe’s out?
ya he is done tore MCL
-
if we can get one more win our streak for 20 win Seasons stays in tact
-
20 points in the 1st half - - - 47 points in the 2nd half
-
Cunningham hurt his ankle at the end of game. He did walk off on his own.
-
No games till next Thursday now - -rest tomorrow
-
@jayballer67 I just noticed that. 47 points in a half is a ton for this team. 20 points in a half is piss poor for any team!
Just shows we need intensity. We totally suck without it. We’re ok when we’re amped up.
-
@BShark why isn’t likele playing? Osu guard
-
Enjoying listening to Dave postgame. He has really good focus and positive energy.
-
@approxinfinity smart guy
-
I think Dave is going to be a monster next year.
-
I loved DG, svi and Malik! They’d all start giggling.
-
Then poor Perry, his 4th yr, he finally could look at the camera. It was good for him though.
-
All right, we get to see Harris in the interview!
-
Not as talkative as Dave
-
This kid has a story too. Sad one
-
Harris is goofy
he doesnt finish his sentences and nervous
-
@approxinfinity but great for a young one
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not sure I know his story other than he’s from Columbia MO and was on the MOKAN team
-
Always felt bad for Vick in the post game interviews. Terrified
-
@Crimsonorblue22 sure. You cant be more goofy than Jeff Withey, and he turned out alright
-
Jalen only played 17 minutes tonight. Just wasn’t his night. But that’s the difference in rebounds. If he’d just gotten his average in boards, we wouldn’t have been outrebounded.
-
@DanR I think it was a year ago last winter, his brother was killed when he was w/a friend playing with a gun. Maybe jr hi? Not sure exactly all the facts, but that’s what happened. I think the Braun family has been pretty good to him. I’m pretty sure he was at KU when it happened. Not positive.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 hand injury
-
@BShark how long is he out? Serious?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Damn. Didn’t know that story. Kind of explains some things. You just never know that these kids are dealing.
-

He’s been out for weeks now. Last two were “game time decisions” iirc.
-
@BShark he was jumping around on the bench, couldn’t figure it out, thx!
-
@rockchalk82 I think it’s a pretty crappy life for a lot of kids and we should count our blessings. Now we know why they love KU! Family!

Yeah Harris had a tough upbringing, who knows where he would be without the Brauns?
This is their other friend: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/isiaih-mosley-1.html
We don’t really need another wing but man, he’s really good. Lol.
-
Bill talking about how the D sucked in the first half. Crickets about the O sucking.
-
-
Found this article about Dajion Harris too… 13 years old. Argh. https://krcgtv.com/news/local/grandmother-of-13-year-old-boy-killed-in-columbia-speaks-out
-
Sad.
-
@DanR just found that too. Dad died too.
-
I read somewhere he lived with Braun’s since jr. hi.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 more or less
-

Lol, classic Bill.
-
@BShark tell me more
-
Bill said that Tristan had some nagging stuff, won’t go away, just doesn’t feel right. Sounds like that could be Bill-speak for long COVID…?
-
@approxinfinity can’t play-itis, severe case.

To be fair good defense sets up good offense. Look at the first OSU game’s transition points.
-
@approxinfinity have any of them had it?
-
Wow - stopped watching at the half… now just watched the second half. UTEP flat out had us, out played us until KU went Full D effort. This fellas is nothing but a good thing. It’s how you respond and how you finish. We already know this team ain’t about offense. It’s now about circling the wagons and self belief. Speaking of self, How much of the game credit goes to coach Self? He has got this not-so-talented team into a nice fighting weight over the last few months.

Damn his senior speech will be something else in 4 years
-
I think he mentioned norm or KT suggested putting MG on the big guy 2nd half. Being pesky worked. Love a smaller guy on a post guy.
-
Yeah we just didn’t have a post player capable of checking him. Good decision by the staff.
-
2nd half Dave showed up again.
-
@Marco said in KU tune up game thread:
2nd half Dave showed up again.
1st half Dave not so much. When he plays well in both half’s KU has a pretty good chance of winning
-

there has been times lately if it wern’t for him we wouldn’t need him in the 2nd half cause we be buried him being all we had in the 1st

Agree. I’m not knocking the guy, just bringing up a valid point. It sometimes just seems that it takes him the entire first half to know and get into the flow of the game. The guy is vital to our team, but it is something that he needs to work on.
