ļø
you tooAndā¦, Thanks again to @approxinfinity for keeping this community alive
-
Furphy saved our asses tonight folks
-
I wish Hunter would dunk the ball!
-
Iām pretty ticked at Juan and hunter tonight, not playing like veterans
-
Cinci has some athletes
-
Johny these freethrows are furphree
-
Daggers.
-
Weak guy was way outta control
-
ZERO bench points
-
I hate the ends of games like this except weāre winning.
-
Take the L
LOL
-
Gotta get Hunter healthy.
-
Kid yelling take your L and go home is hilarious
-
A wins a win but some donāt feel as good as others do. This is one of those that doesnāt feel as good.
-
Billas trying to figure out how ku could win
-
Last 22 seconds have taken 16 minutes!!
-
Elmarko our top FT shooter
-
We got 2 bench points!
-
Iāll take it. Rest up for clones!
-
@wissox I have agree with @cragarhawk assessment we donāt look good even in victory. On to Saturday can we pick up a road win against a team that has a conference win? I honestly donāt care about conference titles anymore. Just go undefeated at home and sweep the Mildcats.

Nobody shuts out the Kansas bench

When Hunter gets in foul trouble itās takes a Furphy like player to pull it out. Thanks Mom, who he looks like.

@RockChalkinTexas out
āļø
-
Good guys win yet again.
-
Bill Self saying a few of the new teams have played us hard - Syracuse and ucf were the two teams he mentioned. Maybe I heard it wrong, but it seemed weird.
-
@RockChalkinTexas dawn is her name but sheās tall, second wife.
-
You heard it right. One of those signs I said as a senior citizen when I recognized retirement coming.
-
@drgnslayr Yeah itās uncharacteristic. Crap, I had hoped I misheard. His memory is usually amazing.
-
The Halftime report mentioned how non-athletic KU is this year. I disagree. Sure, weāve had more athletic teamsā¦ but this team just isnāt hustling.
Furph the only guy to crash the boards. He still has his high school body, but he can do it.
Iām done being nice. Iām calling out the guys who arenāt cutting it!
Starting with Hunter. 7ā2" and only 6 rebounds. Seriously? Try moving your arse closer to the goal, also on offense, maybe score a few points.
KJā¦ come on, man! 3 rebounds in 38 minutes! Close your eyes next time and the ball will find you at least 5 times in 38 minutes!
Juanā¦ 5 TOsā¦ the worst at the end in the back court that kept Cincy in the game. Where is your head, dude?
Kevinā¦ another great grinder game for you! The team is on your back now! Hope you can keep holding up the weight, brother! A+
Furphā¦ what is he, 18? Body of a boy, but heart of a manā¦ a big man! Heās out there doing what our veteran guys arenāt doing! A+
Come on, guys! Man the f up!
-
Heās a man with heart disease. Memory loss is one of the symptoms of heart diseaseā¦
-
Hunter and Kev are playing through knee/leg injuries. Neither is 100%, Hunter might be like 70% based on how he moved last night.
Gotta find a way to start winning those 50/50 balls which we are not doing consistently.
-
Would be really nice if Zuby or Udeh wouldāve stuck around for depth, Parker is too small. When Parker is the 5 it doesnāt look like anyone is over 6ā6ā on the court. (No way Furphy is 6ā9ā).
-
@dylans I thought last night that furphy looked taller than Braun. Think they both maybe closer to 6ā7
-
@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:
Rebound game. We need this one.
Funny that you call it a rebound game. Rebounding was the main issue vs. WVU. KU got outrebounded by a lot. Again. Still, Furphy ends up with a career high 11 boards.
-
KJ is such a dreadful rebounder given his role

I think this is on target. I didnāt watch the whole game but seemed to me when the whole team would play with energy and effort, weād get out to a bit of a lead, then they either got tired or lost focus and would let them back in. You can literally tell every possession on D whether it will be a good one or a bad one based on how hard everyone tries on the first ball screen.
This is the most wildly inconsistent team I can remember. Game to game, even possession to possession. You just NEVER know what you are going to get.

Iām so scared for the KSU games because you know they will at least bring energy and it doesnāt seem like we can consistently count on that from our hawks this year.
-
Braun is as well given thatās like one of his main jobs when in the game.
-
@benshawks08 for sure, not a positive outlook right now. Furphy is gonna need someone else to get after the ball like he has been. I love to be a fly on the wall in the film room today hopefully some guys get called out for their lack of effort and energy. The old saying goes āHard work beats talent, when talent doesnāt work hardā. This team doesnāt have the talent to go out and just go thru the motions. I think thatās pretty evident at this point in time.
-
I havenāt gone back and read all 337 posts, but saw mention on twitter of a little back and forth between Timberlake and Self. Anyone catch when that happened or what it was about?
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I just singled out KJ because he plays far more than Braun does
-
KU needs to make sure Johnnyās parents are at all the rest of KU games. Please find them a room at McCarthy. Johnny played with more energy than past games. We need his energy in every game the rest of the year. The rest of the team? I donāt have anything positive to say, so I just wonāt say anything. Itās very difficult to watch this team no matter who they are playing.
-
News to me but not a good sign from Nick if true
-
@rcjhdraft said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:

He just seems to pick and choose when to rebound instead of it just being instinct. He was showing strides of being consistent as of a couple games ago but that seems to have passed again. Enigma when it comes to this
-
@BeddieKU23 I think thereās a point where Self actually likes it if a guy talks back to him but I guarantee Nick isnāt at that point.
-
@BeddieKU23 KJās body language has not been good the last couple of games. Heās either exploding off the floor for a dunk or kind of just standing around. When heās engaged and leaning on his athleticism, he is a legit player, but more and more I see him coming out of that stance and standing straight up and down or looking tired. Same goes for Juan honestly. These guys all seem TIRED. But they have the same schedule as every other teamā¦
-
@benshawks08 more minutes. I thought for sure we would lose the energy war 2nd half and lose the ballgame. We would have if Furphy hadnt gone nuclear.

IMO at the level of athlete he is he should be crashing the boards with reckless abandon. Itās what will keep him on the floor if he ever tries to go into the pros since heāll never be able to space the floor. I agree with you that itās baffling that he doesnāt do it.
-
@rcjhdraft he made a midrange jumper from left wing yesterday. Decent form and everything (not a shot put). It shocked me. Maybe he is working on that midrange game.
