I certainly don’t come out this game thinking we got beat by a better team. I think they got incredibly lucky in the 1st half, and got some real good fortune from the refs in the 2nd half and OT.

@Jethro said in K-St Game Thread:
I think JW should’ve defended Johnson more. He just ate him up when he defended him. I understand we can’t afford to lose JW, but we end up fouling out Kev, Gradey and KJ trying to handle him. 10 more minutes on Johnson from JW, and we win this game by 10.
We could have won this game 20 different ways. Free throws. Threes. Finish a layup. Defend Johnson better. Not call timeouts in a panic. Not turn the ball over to close out the last two periods.
We really found a way to lose this one imo.

@FarmerJayhawk without Remy we lose those games….you know it, Bill knows it, everyone does so don’t bother acting like it isn’t true. Bill knows he bailed us out of round of 32 lose and sweet 16 when och and Braun couldn’t throw it in the ocean
Juan who doesn’t look to score won’t take a team to a title it’s like Alex Smith at qb. Be aggressive take shots
Juan had Zach pass, end of regulation and OT and messed each play up
Whether he’s hurt or not the security blanket made bad decisions
-
One thing is certain: We need more from Kevin going forward if we’re winning the conference.
-
Wellp we got crazy quick. Im going to keep enjoying the season and the amazing team we have
cya guys.

This and Juan scoring is the key. Everything else can be fixed but these two not looking to score we become very beatable by anyone
-
Yeah. Kevin needs to stop thinking about anything other than the immediate play. I dont think he is being asked to be what he isnt. But he seems out of it on d, uncharacteristic
-
If McCullar makes a single free throw the entire conversation is different.

Juan looked to score tonight in a way. He took 6 threes…. He just can’t turn the ball over in crunch time 3 times like he did tonight.
He had a bad night for sure. But I think he makes good plays to end games more often than he doesn’t.

He was trying to guard Keyonte, and he was having a world of trouble with it.

Great game and the kids did great too. It’s a fun season. Enjoy it

I’m am going to give him the benefit of the doubt- he fell right on his head, and had to be taken to the locker room.

I personally think it is time to revisit the Udeh experiment…
Zuby and Zach ain’t it so far.
Also I think Bill needs to let MJ get some run. We do need more from the bench…
-
@kuballin10 there won’t be a *but Remy when Juan goes to the rafters. Well maybe in your mind but that’s your business.
We’ll move on, be better going forward. The only team that’ll beat us for the chip is us
-
@Jethro I mean even without that he is entitled to they occasional off night. Everyone has them…
He had made 8 consecutive three balls before this. I’m not “down” on him or anything. He’ll bounce back.
-
J Will was mad man tonight. That could be exactly what we needed

Thought all the iowa state fans had their shirts off then realized it was a white out.

@FarmerJayhawk said in K-St Game Thread:
@kuballin10 I love how all the criticism of Juan is “well this ALMOST happened.” He’s brought us back FAR more often than choked but that’s not important I guess.
We weren’t great tonight, ish happens. Onto the next one.
Don’t even bother trying to exchange with him - he just here to argue with anybody and everybody

Nice to see he has that in him for sure. I think we’ll need it in March

I had this all queued up and ready to post, guess i jinxed it:
Signed, sealed, delivered.
Ballgame boys and girls!

It’s been disappointing that MJ can’t get more run. Practices must be a wreck.

next game is even tougher- TCU.

I agree with you on bench. Not sure what’s up with Bill & MJ - - I just think MJ is gone after this year , to bad cause the guy knows how to score the ball. Something the rest of our bench doesn’t know

we got them in the Phog buddy - — look out
-
Every KU player could have done something a tiny bit better and we would have won this, so I’m going to chuck it up to a solid finish by KSate when historically they’ve folded. Credit where it’s due.
Lots of games to go… KU still has the hardest road because we get everyone’s best shot. We’ll see how Kstate does with some ranked pressure on them.

@dylans been on and off the floor with injury

the clones are about to beat texas. very nice…

Got to be something going on. - -I mean not even sniffing the floor - all these medical claims I think is a big BS cover
-
@approxinfinity cool AF
-
@Kcmatt7 you’re right he did shoot 6 threes
I’m not sure end of game normally ball isn’t in his hands to make the play
-
@approxinfinity I was hoping after a KU win, the one KU fan would rush toward the court and let the ushers know we don’t do that. Lol

I’m not so sure how legit that is bud. - Maybe some but some of these things Bill is coming up with- - hard to swallow

I have Tix to Ksu vs KU at the Phog. Stupidly excited

XII on the Ames floor looks like french fries

Every decade win they eeeek out win - it’s the same rush the floor. - --The old addidge is to ACT LIKE YOU’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE. - - - no difference, once again they act like fools - -This was a match up between two ranked teams , you would think you maybe - - just maybe not be that shocked - - BUT it’s K State.
Mark my words you will have some K/State morans saying they deserve to be ranked higher then us for winning this game lmao

it could be worse…wonder how Dook and Tucky are enjoying their season so far?
-
@jayballer67 nah I love me some farmer even when we disagree. Farmer has some bball knowledge
-
@FarmerJayhawk there won’t be but everyone knows including Bill who’s said it
There’s a reason the minutes flipped big 12 title and most of ncaa games
Either way 5-1 through 6 games if we finished 15-3 we’d win outright but tougher games ahead than the first 6
-
Lots to learn from this game. Shot pretty poorly and still forced overtime. Coulda Shoulda. Whatever. Most importantly, get better after this loss.
And I really tried to not say it, but it has to be said: 1) holy crap the officiating was atrocious and completely selective; 2) listening to Fran almost made me barf tonight.
-
@bskeet I haven’t wanted to hear from Fran for a very long time. Since his boy was at OU pretty much. Everything against KU as much as it can be possibly be since then. Id love to be face to face just to bitch slap him. Yes. It has been that bad
-
@kuballin10 then there will be one by every other name up there with a natty. Very weird hang up.
13 wins gets the title. We’ll get there.
-
Someone is making mid season enemies again at the bucket.

That last play was broke. Ball was suppose to be passed to Wilson, from the inbounds. Anybody watch postgame.
-
Self wanted the TO before Wilson even had it. Maybe not a big screw up https://twitter.com/kflaherty247/status/1615567672699244546?s=46&t=1KWV82X8eajxy0QxTZyeeg

Eff. Stupid sheep lovers.
Had to watch the game late tonight. So many opportunities to win that game, just crapped away by so many reasons. We could have, and should have won that game, at the end of regulation.
A few incredibly bad decisions were costly for sure:
– DaJuan attempting to pass it to Zuby on the high post. turnover. why? bad.
– Self made two bad timeout decisions. Four seconds on the clock and call a TO??? bad.
– Self (i assume) made a terrible call to try to force an over the top the ball inside to Clemence late. Turnover. Dude’s rarely on the floor in non important moments, let alone important moments. bad.
– The last possession was comical.
I rarely say this, but the referees made some very interesting decisions and non decisions tonight.
Kevin McCullar is BEYOND frustrating. How can you be that bad with your experience?
I knew there was a chance we could lose tonight, but the way we lost leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
I’m not smart enough to now why we really can’t get a shot off most of the time. Wilson, dribble drive, toss up a miracle, get fouled. That’s all we got?

I hope not more of what we saw tonight, and many other nights…
-
KJ improving every game
Dick still gets 16, altho it felt like a quiet 16
Jalen goes off, maybe a lil swagger back that looked like it could be missing for a few games
The bench produced 8 points and got some very valuable experience
This game may have done more for us than we can understand at the moment, stay tuned

It is the right decision probably 99% of the time. You’ve floundered for 23 seconds and the ball is still 40 feet from the basket.
Bill is usually one of the best play callers in-game.
The timeout was smart from a coach. Really not worth criticizing him over imo.
