YAWWNNN KU-Buffs 10 PM
-
@BeddieKU23 self texted coaches at half, guessing getting the ball to Flo was a point.
-
@BShark I've noticed and I feel strongly that Fran has set this up. Boog always asks Fran a couple of times during games what should they do during different times, course to show off Fran's coaching prowess!
-
@Jayhawk_69 I really like Hanni, I know a lot of fans think he's corny. He does so much for cancer patients in the Lawrence area. I watch Hawk Talk, he is so well organized, so well informed. A lot of prep work. I usually listen to the post game and some pre game.
-
To each his own of course. I agree. I really like Hanni too. Good voice and I think he hits a nice balance between excitement and real basketball analysis

Just watched a replay of the Council steal and a clip of him being interviewed about it. During the steal, his back was to the inbounder. The inbounder, wanting to inbound the ball in a hurry, seemed not to notice Melvin and threw it into the back of his arm. It appears that, upon feeling the ball, Council took advantage to get the steal. I don't know what the exact rules are in this scenario, but I don't think it would have been fair to T council up when he was facing away and when the inbounder gave him no time to clear out of the area. In a post-game interview, Council said (and I paraphrase) that he wasn't even thinking about getting the steal and it just sort of happened.
-
@Jayhawk_69 I vehemently disagree. He was standing out of bounds and made contact with the ball. At the very least the basket should not have counted. It probably should have been a tech too.
I really don't think it matters if it was intentional or not. -
Meh, then it's the referee's responsibility to make the call, the one that was standing point blank there to make. Council and KU benefitted from the error.
There were several mistakes by this crew last night. They missed a clear goal-tend in the first half on Flory that if called could have been reviewed and overturned. We'll take it. We're on the other end of the stick far too often.
The A-Team wasn't in Boulder last night

Couple key things turning to Saturday's game. Bashir is out for K-ST. 67 made 3's on the year at 44% clip. He would have been a prime candidate to have 10 of them on Saturday so that's positive. Their starting big McGriff was also out last night. The two guys that filled in for Bashir/McGrifff combined for 48 minutes and 2 POINTS. No idea of his status for Saturday.
We'll have a major advantage in the front court on Saturday night. No excuses for walking out of that craphole without a victory.
-
Concerning the Council play. Yes, he was out of bounds when he blocked the ball. But when you consider that he did not step out of bounds to make the play, but was already out of bounds from finishing the last play, and then his back was turned to the inlet pass... I don't see reason why he should receive a T, but clearly his score to follow should have been disallowed. They could have made the call and gone to the monitor. We caught a huge break.

Yep they got that one wrong. They also didn't call many obvious fouls on Colorado including one that bloodied Tre if memory serves. KU definitely could have shot a lot more free throws last night. All around terrible last night, but it probably evened out overall.
-
I'm relieved we got this win, but still not feeling any better for our ability to play well on the road. Colorado was horrible... mostly freshmen. We lacked energy... the real reason why we can't play on the road. Unless we see major improvements in road play I see definite losses at TTech, ISU, and Arizona... along with possible losses at KSU, OSU and ASU.
I don't see us winning the B12 tourney, so I see a minimum of 10 losses heading into March. Most likely, more losses.
-
Agreed they just point blank missed a lot of easy calls. There was one where Flory was fouled (forget if it was near the face) that they didn't call. The offensive foul on Tiller late in 2nd half (Touched air) as Peterson was drilling a 3 to make the game 69-60 (we later did anyway) but still. Tre White nosebleed. Council was called for a charge when the defender was literally backpedaling still.
Can't imagine that crew gets a good review
-
@wissox83 Since he was touching the ball while out of bounds it should have been called out of bounds to Colorado.
But a tech would have been stupid. Maybe if he were taking an unreasonably long time to get back in bounds, but he wasn't, he was moving and the Colorado player chucked the ball into him.
-
@BeddieKU23 Flo got poked in the eye
-
I haven’t got a chance to watch most of the game yet, just happy we won a road game with how it has been over the last two years.
-
These are games we cannot afford to lose if we want to preserve any prayer of competing for a conference championship. Houston, Iowa State, and Texas Tech are not going to lose any games, home or away, to Colorado-caliber teams, so we can't either.
-
Our "performances" against WVU and UCF have us behind the 8-ball, as those are games the other contenders simply will not come close to losing. But if we are almost perfect from here on out we have a chance.

@Jayhawk_69 I guess TT barely beat CO
