K-St Game Thread

Looks like Self went with rest over practice coming into this K-St game. Hopefully they are ready!
The weekend game also included many festivities because of KU’s 125th-anniversary celebration. Bill Self said the tough victory over the Cyclones, along with the added celebrations throughout the weekend has led to some exhaustion.
“We haven’t even practiced yet,” Self said. “We’re exhausted. And that event all weekend, that’s a lot of standing for our guys and everything. We told them to get away from basketball [on Sunday]. So we haven’t even talked about how we’re going to defend this or that yet. From a preparation standpoint, it needs to be a crash course. Hopefully, we’re able to pick up on some stuff, but I actually thought bodies were more important in preparation.”
Self also said that because of the wear and tear teams will endure throughout the conference season, more teams will have to show more care with off-time. Self mentioned as well that the next seven games for KU will be an arduous stretch.
“The rules say you have to take one day off a week, I’m not sure this isn’t a two-day off-a-week league,” Self said. “You played Iowa State, go to K-State, TCU, Baylor, Kentucky, Iowa State and K-State, and then Texas. That’s our next seven games, that’s comical. I think the preparation will be as much studying a large part than it will be actually on the court in many ways because this is a joke.”

Looked at the latest Bracketology this morning and I half-chuckled, half-groaned…Lunardi’s got us facing the winner of Carolina vs. Mizzou in the second round. Gee thanks, Joey.
(Not that it’ll actually turn out that way, especially when you consider the gauntlet we have to run over the next few weeks.)

Cuffe and Zuby made half court shots earlier.
Cuffe looks like he’s fine and wondering if he will practice soon
-
Really need a great game from Kevin. He’s played in Manhattan before, so he’ll know what to expect. Corner 3s please, Kevin.
-
A 40 pt. first half please.
-
just be ahead at THE END PLEASE

Gradey, understanding the rivalry, will be my Hawk to Rock tonight
He’s going to be ready for the taunts. Been there, done that

Which one? It looks like the last 2 he got whacked.

@wissox No shit

I see the refs are going to make sure Nowell & Johnson have great games since they played like warm Dog Doo Saturday
-
For the first time in recorded history most board rats agree with me
-
@jayballer67 Why would the refs want them to have good games?

To be kind of fair, kj fouled Johnson on that drive but before the shot so they gave him the bucket instead. 2 on kj early would have been BAD.

We have to stop their drives before they get to the rim.
-
I suggest turning the volume way down for your sanity
-
Fran is going to make sure this is a Silo Tech infommercial. He will barely cover us…
-
Very stale movement on offense. Not a good sign
-
Danger zone. We are nervous
-
Bill definitely wants to win this one, so we’ll see if he can will a win out of these guys
