OU Game
-
KJ = Energizer Bunny, He never stops
-
I want KJ to develop a 3 ball. Hes so square on his J. Maybe he can do it.
-
He’s gotta quit fouling. Coming in from behind and jumping in on everyone with 3 fouls.
-

Glad we won.
KJ is going to be something else by the time he’s a senior
My favorite type of player. 4 year kid we get to watch grow into a nice young man as his basketball skills grow as well.
-
Could we possibly play a crappier game and find a way to win. Having said that I will say again I’ve never seen a worse called game by refs then tonight - - they took the game away

His FTs have looked good lately as well
-
So much for our string of 2-hour games. This felt like three halves.
-
@tundrahok Lonnie never won in AFH? Crazy!
-
How am I going to sleep after this. Damn
-
I’ll be up forever and I barely made it this am.
-
After the game, they played a slo-mo of JW yelling something to the crowd. He had a very un-happy look on his face. Anyone know what that was about? Was he yelling at OU fans?
-
Self just wasn’t gonna show the whole shabang to Moser. Told the boys to just go out and win one.
-
I knew we missed a lot of lay ups early - -Coah just said - -SEVEN - -SEVEN MISSED BUNNIES holy crap time for lay up drill

He said 8 at halftime. I’d guess around 10
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich We missed 4 bunnies on one possession in the 2nd half, so more than that.
-
18 to 4 run in 5;06 minutes. Incredible
-
No missed bunnies in those 5:06 minutes— thankfully
-
@Gorilla72 I think he was just fired up. Was it behind the basket, to the right? I think he was just yelling to the crowd.
-
They only made 2 3’s. We should’ve zoned them. U notice Zuby was tucking in his shirt as they were throwing in the ball? Didn’t seem ready to me.
-
Watching the post game show. Looks like Groves skipped the presser
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - he seemed angry. Maybe the OU fans had been on him.
-
Their fans are not usually behind the baskets. I saw him hollering but it was right after the buzzer when he caught the pass.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - thanks!
-
@Gorilla72 I couldn’t see his face.
-
I knew porter wasn’t gonna like those 2 crazy 3’s his team took at the end. Low bb IQ
-
Moser bitching about free throws… I mean, the last 8 or 9 were from them fouling to stop the clock after they crapped the 10 point lead away
-
I thought his name was porter Moses
-
Mortar Poser
-
It sounds like everyone is screwing it up!
-
@DanR - OU hit 2/17 three’s. He should start there.
-
More Posies. Mortar Posit. I give up.
-
I met Porter Moser a couple of years ago, told him I had some eligibility left. Told me he’d send the paperwork.
Just finished watching, wow, what a slugfest. Nice to see the team win when the O isn’t clicking on all cylinders. Read a few comments above, missed quite a few at the rim.
I think I’d read OU guards the line well and so it was gratifying to see Bill Self prevent them from chucking up 3 after 3. As it was we had pretty good looks and took them when they were afforded us.
OU missed a ton of shots late obviously. We needed that. This sure was looking like a loss.
-
Porter Moser - translates to gatekeeper near a peat bog. Or as we say in American my name doesn’t mean anything.
-
-
Saw the blurb wrong during the game - 22 straight in Allen Fieldhouse. Imbalanced Big12 schedule years ago meant no home games every other year for a period. No wins for OU since 1993 in Larryville! I have no idea how long overall.
-
Whew, doggie. Escape.
Well, I don’t have the guts to read the 400 posts above. Anybody have one nice thing to say? If so, what was the one nice thing?
It doesn’t get much worse than that. 21 bunnies missed.
Not a single bucket scored from what, 17 min mark to 5 min mark?
The worst part: Oklahoma players just don’t pass the eyeball test. If we’d a lost to that unathletic bunch of gypsies I’d be pissed!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Once nice thing: the last 5 minutes were fun, coming back from a 10-pt deficit.
-

Bingo!
nicely done.I was barking at the TV most of the game. When Boomer Sooner got up by 10, I decided to shut my trap and enjoy any potential comeback. I’ll take credit for that! Ha.
-
21 missed layups. wow

They prefer to be called Bohemians…

Should have shot more 3s, imo. Or just make lay-ups.
KJ though!
-
What does the OU game mean for Zach? He helps on offense; he scored half of our 3s. But, in 12 minutes he only had 3 rbs. and was a turnstile on defense. After 16 games, Coach Self still hasn’t found his backup 5.
-
It will be beneficial for this KU team to lose couple of games, prefer on the road, blowouts, for coaches to use as teaching moments and get players grounded a bit.

Bite your tongue; saw off your fingers. KU never needs to lose a game to improve. I say win them all and win them by double digits. My heart just can’t take 10 minutes of game time with no points.

@stoptheflop My hope is that this set of games is actually what it looks like when Kansas plays poorly. It sure has LOOKED ugly for stretches to open the big 12. But man, do we have play makers in big time moments. Dejuan always seems to make a play when we need it most and key a big turnaround. That first drive and dish to KJ was huge, the quick pass in transition as well.
Wilson played tough D and just kept on fighting on a night where he was mauled every time he touched the ball.
Kevin struggled all game and then his pressure D and AND1 finish sealed it.
Even Gradey came up with a couple monster rebounds on a night where he was essentially bear hugged for 40 minutes.
And then there’s KJ. Don’t really have to work that hard to find his contributions. Good lord.
-
Watch Saturday with Iowa St in town and celebrating 125 years with coaches be a completely different team. They will be amped.
We won with our D+ offensive game and scored 79.
-
Credit to OU’s defensive game plan, well executed, almost worked. OU matched up extremely well with us. Hill really made it difficult for Wilson and he still got near 20 pts by the end. Guys made plays when it mattered though, as ugly as it was to watch unfold.
Hopefully they get in the layup line today and work on plays through contact. 2 games in a row with poor execution at the rim.

@drgnslayr said in OU Game:
Hope it isn’t the case but we better be ready for a trap game. We just come off the road with two big victories and we didn’t look good in our home opener against OSU. We shot the lights out in WV… could it trigger a cold game at home? I hope I’m off base!
Dragon, don’t buy into this trap game nonsense. we simply will not be overlooking Oklahoma. thats silly. no game in the league will be overlooked. if guys aren’t motivated when on the floor, i hope they find a quick seat on the bench, next to Brady.
We were lucky to get past this one. We looked flat, low energy, and we were cold, going most of the second half without a field goal.
We finally showed a little energy in the last 5 minutes and blew by them. This game fit the definition of trap game except we finally pulled it out. No way OU matches up to our talent. We were unmotivated and this is a common situation in college basketball.
-
Positives for me were…
-
even tho the shots (and bunnies) weren’t falling, we still found ways to score (and win!).
-
getting mauled and making our FTs, JW went 10-12! I remember past KU teams where we were lucky to shoot 50%. Man that used to bug me.
-
KJ. Every part of his game is getting so good. If he keeps this up he might be joining some of other starters in the big leagues next year.
-
we continued our dominance of OU even on an off night to remain undefeated in the toughest conference in college. At the end of the day, the W is what matters right?
-
-
I think it says a lot that we were able to win while playing so poorly. We stepped up at the end and I feel like we are one of the best teams in America in the final minutes.
What I didn’t like seeing… was our body language was bad until the final 5 minutes. We changed our perspective the last 5 minutes and that is why we won… why didn’t we make this easier for ourselves and lift our heads earlier? I’m just glad we finally pulled out of this. We showed more energy on defense and shut them down then even increased the offensive tempo, scoring on a couple of secondary fast break points!
This was a loss without KJ! He had some rough moments missing bunnies, but he kept after it!
I hope we don’t have too many more of these loathing games!
