KJs effort has been consistent. And he made his free throws.
-
Seems strange but the officials helped them to their huge advantage. Not 20 points worth of course, but a missed call on a Furphy 3, heck even on KJ’s buzzer beater attempt, and quite a few others might mean we’re still within shouting distance.
-
what you think ? - -I mean let’s be real, we might as well take Kevin out rest that knee, not sure if he is playing in Big 12 tourney either. Nothing to gain there other then if we were to win the entire thing. -let him rest for the NCAA’s
Think we are pretty well locked as a three- --and yet if we get creamed in this game and 1st round loss in the Big 1 tourney , might drop to a four.
-
I’d hat to think what it might be without KJ’s scoring what he did. - – Hunter’s two points is unacceptable

@dylans Can’t remember; how did he do in Lawrence when Houston played there?
Kept them in the game single handedly.
Looked it up- Cryer had 24 points. 6-12 from three. He’s always clutch against KU.
-
The officiating is not egregiously bad. It’s not great— they also missed the foul on the pass to KJ that left him in a heap on the floor.
But the stats won’t lie. I don’t have them in front but we have taken fewer shots, made fewer threes, probably more turnovers and fewer rebounds. Oh and probably 50% free throws.
Lots of room for improvement and plenty of reasons why we are down. .
-
I just don’t really remember a KU with less effort or energy than this one. Maybe the 2005 team that clearly quit on self
-
McCullar was 0 for everything other than one foul. No baskets, no rebounds, no assists. At least no TOs…
-
@bskeet Because I’m in a bad mood IT’S BEEN AWFUL!!!
-
26.1 % fg% – 1-10 from 3-- 10 % – and 10 turnovers is not a good recipe for winning
-
@wissox I can handle a loss to a better team on the road like Houston but we aren’t even playing hard. One thing Roy used to do when it was that was sub in all the walk-on and less players for a few minutes to send a message to the starters. Something I wish Bill would do.

The portal + NIL essentially creates a mercenary strategy for teams. Keeping teams engaged is even more of a challenge than it used to be.

Certainly a big factor, but Sampson seems to have his guys bought in to digging in on every possession…
-
@kjayhawks agree. Stumbling and crashing at the end of the season is a discouraging and troubling way to enter the post-season.
-
At least ISU isn’t co conference champions!
-
@rcjhdraft Guaranteed the 1 and 4 starter spots are already locked in
We will whiff on some big recruits at those spots because of the pets
-
@kjayhawks was just thinking that too. Let’s see Jank, Evers, Carter, Braun and Cross!
-
KJ putting in effort, but just doesn’t have low post moves…
-
Is this one of those YMCA games ?
-
Great news is we’ve played them even for about the last 10 minutes of game clock.
-
Ok, that’s enough. Someone close the door when you’re done!
-
Good thing Jamari is gone
-
Yep, hard to watch this
-
Really stunning that so many of our guys are clueless on D - which has always been a hallmark of HCBS teams - ability to get stops in critical situations. Not this group…
-
It’s hard to think that we would come into this game not more focused then this.I think we just need to play McDowell , Jank , Timberlake , Braun, Jackson the rest of the game
-
Kj isn’t the answer going forward either
-
Nice fast break
-
Furphy making the 3
-
2-7 record on the road - -worst in the Bill Self era
-
Wow nick.

I haven’t seen or hear that anywhere other then Bshark
-
Tip your hat to Houston. They are great and they are leaving no doubt.
-
Anything that can go wrong has been the story of this game

Yeah we aren’t winning shit if KJ is starting next season. Not even gonna bother on Harris
-
It seems pretty bad to go into post-season with so many players aware that they are lame-ducks
-
you figure we will drop another 3 or 4 spots in the pull. Is there ANYONE here still think we can be a 2 seed ? loll
-
hoping we’re a 4 seed
-
but maybe it’s better to be a 5 or 6 seed.
-
Furphy’s last 4-5 games proves he still has work to do - -needs to come back
-
@jayballer67 for sure. Right now it’s hard to imagine anyone on this team is ready for the NBA
-
Foul

He was the only one that’s even going to be drafted. - -McCullar not getting drafted -Dickinson sure won’t be drafted
-
Hunter socket out of shoulder
-
that might be the first back to back buckets for us all game… 11 min left.
-
Welp. Not good
-
Season done
-
Cougars supposedly have as short bench as we do, but have outscored ours 21-2…
-
there’s a “short bench” and there’s no bench
-
someone with access to stats should compare our season bench points over the past 30 years. I’m going to say this is the least by far.
