KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat



  • We put in zero effort defensively this afternoon, yes they did hit some very low percentage shots but to quote our coach”look at the rebounds, that’s how you tell how hard you played” we got out scraped repeatedly on the glass and that was the difference imo.

    UCF beats Texas ----UCF beats us ----WV beats Texas - -WV beats us – bottom dwellars loves seeing these two teams

    Texas is the 4th worst team in the Big 12, they are one of the cellar dwellers. And no, I don’t care that they upset Baylor today or were ranked until a couple of weeks ago. Texas is ranked right around KSU and UCF in the NET rankings because they’re not a good team this year.

    that makes this even worse- – we just sucked today



  • If your a true legitimate Contender and not a pretender-- -you don’t lose games like this against these kind of teams

    That’s been my point all game. KU played lazy as hell today and did the same against UCF. This team isn’t good enough to play lazy and beat bad teams.



  • Furph and Timber looked so good earlier, it really got my hopes up for this to be their breakout game and for us to start clicking. As Kjay said above, I think this one might have cost us the conference. Very tough loss today for the good guys.



  • @StLJhawk And KU had an advantage with the unbalanced schedule in playing more games against the bottom dwellers than other teams with 2 each against KSU and OSU. Wins against 1, 6, and 8, and losses to UCF and WVU is one of the weirdest resumes out there now.



  • Huh, the WV coach is from Osborne so that’s kinda cool I guess. NCK stand up



  • Same reason for loss at UCF… soft defense.

    Our offense didn’t look too bad, but it says it all when you score 85 points and lose.

    Hunter really played bad defense.

    Nope their not,- - I mean the defense was as bad s I’ve seen it in a LOOOOOOOOONG WHILE. Guys with wide open three’s just well , not good almost everywhere you look. I mean there is always the easy take of-- Well the ref , the ref . They think they had it bad today – Cinn will beat our ass on the boards and physical as hell, they better be redy for a war Monday - -Cin gonna be bringin and bringin it hard real physical.

    Whoever wins is gonna have more then two losses, guys were talking earlier your gonna look at probably the winner having five losses. there are no nights off although I guess these guys think so



  • I will say that once WVU gets to play more with the whole team, they be better than the 7-11 that they are currently.

    13-5 probably wins the league this year. The Big 12 is already down to two 1 loss teams with one of those being a projected bottom 4 team in the league in KSU.

    Yes Sir I think your right. - -Think it will be five like others have stated ---- MIGHT be Six , I tll you what you better dam well protect your home floor cause if you lose at home your screwed. - -K/State has had pretty easy schedule so far- -they are gonna take some beatings , but that’s not an excuse. KU just needs to worry about KU take car of business, today they didn’t do it just a bad display on defense No excuse for hunter only getting 5 boards, and got beat multiple times on defense. - -KJ looked out of sorts he was getting beat on defense - -just a sucky display.–I think alot of this is, they play down to the competition, There are times they take things for granted

    Yea, but losing to bottom dwellers outta the gate does not seem to be a good conference winning strategy.

    But still, a lot of ball still to be played.

    I didn’t say KU would be one of those 13-5 teams.



  • At this point I think 6 losses gets a share. Tech is currently getting boatraced by BYU, which will mean everyone but KSU will have 2 losses already.



  • Everybody loses games. Things can turn on a dime. We all look at the same stats but it was a close game and the team tried to win. We have said all year we are a talented team but work with a small margin of error. WVU played great today.

  • @Texas-Hawk-10 ah well. Go Mormons



  • I go and compliment this team early and they lay an egg well actually 4/5 starters played great

    Check the box score and tell me which one of these things is not like the other



  • @kuballin10 play great? wtf?



  • It’s a crying shame I missed this game. 😢 🤣🤣🤣



  • @dylans said in KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat:

    Stort korming is something the announcer said twice.

    Haha, Couldn’t watch the game, but saw the last minute at a friends because I heard Gurley freak out on the Elmarko alleged foul so I wanted to watch that play. Then I heard the dude say that stort corming! Didn’t make me feel much better but I’m also glad I couldn’t watch.



  • @FarmerJayhawk Yeah everyone played well…scored in double figures except our pg who got torched from a bad az transfer



  • @wissox call was baaadddd dude was losing the ball as he was about to travel and EJ stripped him

    Self rightfully so went bonkers



  • @kuballin10 no, they all sucked hind tit. The effort on defense and boards was embarrassing.



  • Gurley just freaked out on the Elmarko call on the radio. Usually the media guys hold back a little bit on ref calls but not there.



  • @wissox it was Bob Davis at missery bad when Morris got called for a flagrant and Davis went nuts….



  • @FarmerJayhawk Juan had 5 steals but hand down man down every other time

    Agree effort defensively was poor but we should be able to outscore these guys and if Juan gets his double digits we’d won….

    He was aggressive then just stopped shooting



  • @kuballin10 we gave up 91 points to the worst team in the league. One guy doesn’t get heat for that.

    I know it’s your schtick but Hunter and Furphy got abused all game long. This one was a total team effort. Nobody played great. Or even that good.

    You must be extremely flexible to pull off those mental gymnastics to put all the blame on Dejuan for today.

    I think he just sits back and waits with baited breath for Juan. I’ve NEVER seen someone who is so infatuated with a player, Juan didn’t cost us to lose this game by any means.–try how our so called defense really sucked.- -you need to quit ridin Juan so hard - -holy crap dude give it a break your getting old



  • Insert angry rant here…

    This is getting kind of old, losing to theoretically crap teams. I mean, WVU lost to Radford! (Among others)

    Possibly the worst first half performance defensively in recent memory.



  • @jayballer67 said in KU vs No More Huggy Bear Game Chat:

    HEM was with both Jamari Traylor and Brady Morningstar



  • I don’t think anyone played great defensively yesterday.

    Dam that must be a miserable life o live like that



  • It’s not fun to play the blame game… but I will.

    I blame everyone except Furph and Timberlake. Both those guys played to their potential!

    Everyone else played like they needed a nap. And we can’t use the excuse that they play too many minutes. They do… but so do other players in college basketball that still come to play.

    We need some leadership. We need someone stepping up now and taking charge… someone to lead, cheer lead, bring energy, help establish team pride, help establish team identity.

    I can see this team losing 8 - 10 games this year. Because of our wins on top teams, it should help keep our NCAA appearance string alive.

    It doesn’t have to be like this. We can play with anyone if we decide to.



  • How about blaming Bill?

    I don’t like to blame Bill… but he’s had some alarming statements that make me think he’s about ready to call it quits. He admits to coaching softer and even his players admit it.

    It’s going to get harder for our team to come hyped up to play a game.

    I’m starting to see the writing on the wall. Hate to admit this, too.



  • I thought Kevin was playing hard, his body language was good.

    I am surprised that Bill did not play Nick much in second half especially in final 10 minutes.

    I thought Nick had a solid first half, best so far in games played here.

    His passing was good, and he was playing with energy.



  • Gurley and Hanni on the radio near the end of the game were saying that WVU was missing quite a few guys earlier in the year. I noticed 3 guys who played key roles yesterday who have played in only 8, or fewer, games. So I think their poor record is a bit misleading is what Hanni and Gurley were saying. I’m not saying we couldn’t have beat them but it sounds like they were really missing some guys that would have made their record and ranking higher.

    So we’ll get to 5? 😒



  • WVU pulled shots out of their entire collective asses. A team that shoots 31% from three lays a 57% 12 makes on us. Game came down to the wire and we got a bad call on Elmarko when he caused a steal and then the inbound play Elmarko got body checked out of the way by the guy who caught the inbound pass so he got screwed twice in a row. Battle a 40% FG and 25% 3 point goes 7 of 13 and 3 of 7. It wasn’t great defense but the ball went their way all game. Freak game. Now we need a complete game from first half Furphy and kinda first half KJ too. Sometimes HD get messed up on perimeter switches and leaves the post wide open. They went right at our freshman phenom but The Furph’s all around stats were very good and zero turnovers.



  • If you watched post game, Kevin played D really bad on his man shooting 3’s. To far off, helping off to much. Furphy missed his block outs really bad at the end of game, think they were counting 4. And yes they have guys back that didn’t start out with them. Their really good big man didn’t even play, says a lot about Hunter not going after boards. Furphy will learn!

    I know this also , these two losses does not look good on our resume. I’d be willing to go out and say- -THIS Team will not be a # 1 seed come Tourney time, especially if they lose 8-10 games like you say - -I can seee them losing 8 anyways - -just not good



  • @jayballer67 lets see where those teams end the season



  • Think we take substantial drop in polls.---- 8th possibly ?



  • I think the defensive issues are mostly on Hunter and Furphy. They get out of position or are slow to rotate causing KJ, Kev, or Harris to have to cover MASSIVE amounts of space. They seem to be recovering late to 3 pt shooters because they’ve had to deny a pass into someone who is wide open under the basket. Self always says the best defensive teams help the helper. This team doesn’t do that yet. And unfortunately, having 3 pretty good individual defenders can’t make up for a couple of guys (more if any of the main 3 are on the bench) that just aren’t engaged beyond trying to keep tabs on their own man and failing even at that. Hunter has shown some signs of improving as a low post defender but when he gets out in space, he just can’t recover. The high p&r just murders him and he’s left basically standing 30 feet from the hoop where he can’t defend or rebound at all. They’ve been trying to hedge more on those to blow them up but it just isn’t working. I do worry the overall switch 4 strategy just isn’t going to work for this team which means we could be in for some ugly defensive games as we transition to something else.
