@Crimsonorblue22 6 incisions. Feel good. Optimistic
Good grief, were they just jabbing around randomly looking for it?
-
Hangover a bit from Maui. Self said they were still a very tired team on Saturday. Eastern Illinois is weirdly slowing this game down with all the ball screens and working the clock. Probably more deliberate then weird
-
Penn St trying to steal AK. I knew it was coming but it still sucks
-
I have to admit HD is not as fast I thought. Or isn’t running fast enough. Watched him alot last year. Could be game speed difference between B1G and Big12?
-
On track to finish in low 60s so far. But I’m betting as the panthers start panting in the second half, we still put up big numbers by the end

If he had good foot speed he would probably be in the NBA

Finish Kev
-
We shoot FTs like old ppl boink
-
our general rule on breaks in transition now appears to be get the ball to Dajuan on the first pass. As it should be.
-
@dylans Lance
-
However i think i would like dajuan to make a horizontal cut not vertical cut generally. He doesnt need to be the outlet
-
Refs giving Kev the Jalen treatment this yr
-
bunch of no calls
-
Dude’s face mask looks like sunglasses

-
Oh my that’s a bailout call
-
Nice to see Nick hit a few
-
I think Hunter likes Juando making his life easy
-
Pretty funny end to the half, gotta admit
-
About half their makes have been pure luck
-
My wife tells me if this corona thing takes me out that post I wrote will be a great way to go out.
-
Ah poop how lucky
-
Booker snuck off a luck shot
-
saw some good things. Would like to see some more Jamari
-
@wissox You had the Booker shot at the buzzer predicted pretty uncannily
-
Coach just now - “we gotta have our bench play better”.
-
What was Self saying about the clock/shot clock?
-
@DanR It’s what I do!
-
Teddy bear toss!
-
Eh. We look sloppy, but a shit team can make you stoop to that level. Largely so far this season tho… we aren’t bending over far
I love our passing. There’s lots of time. But get to it dammit. Lol
-
Elmarko with a jam and a trey plus 3 steals.
-
@dylans some 35 seconds unaccounted for
-
@dylans He was inquiring if the buzzer beating 3 got off before the shot clock.

This game is going to put me out of my misery once and for all. Not the worlds greatest mismatch, I mean there was Georgia tech 220-0 over Cumberland College in 1916 and Chiefs 41, Bears 10 much later than that. But I digress, as a newly corona(ted) sufferer I’m now stuck to my chair for the next few days, so I have much time to fill these pages with more stuff for you all to ignore or read to your amusement.
The Panthers reside alongside I-57 on the eastern edge of Illinois between Chicago and Cairo (pronounced Cayr0) at the confluence of two great streams of our continent, the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. I mean Charleston, IL is not anywhere near the interesting confluence which is too bad because it would be by far the most interesting thing in town. Driving north and south along that road 54 times we figured out during the 900 mile trip between Baton Rouge and Chicago/or Wisconsin Charleston represented one of of those things we look forward to on a road trip. It was a place to pull off the interstate, yell at the kids, and get some really crappy food at some fast food joint. Needless to say if it was the other Charleston (no not the one in WV) we probably never would have made it to Chicago. This Charleston that KU is playing, and it’s too bad it’s not at EIU’s gym because I would have gone, except then I would have had Corona and my thoughtful wife would have been telling me you can’t go with Corona Virus.
But this is KU at last word so what to know about them? When I was matriculating at The Harvard of Mt. Oread our fine football team (they were decent when I arrived on campus in 1985) was playing EIU. I’ve struggled to prove this but Sean Payton, no relation to the GOAT Walter, was the QB there and presumably played, and lost to KU that day. So we saw the genesis of a great coach that day.
As for their basketball team they hilariously scored scored 55 in the second half against Iowa just last year and beat the suckeyes and their whiney baby coach of the famed frantrum. In the name of journalistic integrity I must point out EIU beat my other slightly less favorite team also…in 1987 when UW sucked bad in hoops and I was at KU and coulda cared less.
Their current team is deserving of 344 Ken Pom. They’ve played their 1-57 counterpart U of I and got destroyed. Beaten two bad teams Coppin St (which used to have a coach named “Fang”. “Hello Mom and Dad, I’d like you to meat my new boyfriend Fang”) and basically gotten beat down by the rest. The EIU message board ("EIU Buckets) will be in full meltdown mode by the time they jump the ball. Frankly they’re one of the teams that make you wonder why they’re competing in D1 because back in their D2 days they were regular NCAA visitors to their tournament.
Of course, I think we make it to 99 points by about the 10 minute mark and then go cold leaving a final score of 99-3 when Tiger Booker hits a 3 at the buzzer.
You are supposed to be laid up. This first post is more of a stand up routine!

Sounds from your description of the Hunt for Gallbladder episode like you were auditioning to be a model used for teaching surgery to undergrads. Or maybe to be a pin cushion.
-
Kev 5, Elmarko 5, KJ 4, Juan 0. Come on guys
-
Hard to believe I’m talking refs right now but we haven’t got a fair shake in the last minute or so.
-
Wow we came out flat

Outscored 12 - 4
