AN INSTANT CLASSIC
-
…there was just no reason to believe that we would win, after witnessing the first 35 minutes.
-
You suppose after 11 in a row, and especially this one, those of us who are doubters, even myself sometimes, have finally learned our lesson? Or will we be back here next year wringing our hands, worrying, doubting and complaining as usual?
-
@DoubleDD honey!!!
-
@RockChalkinTexas w/oubre!!! Ha ha
-
The two streaks I’m most glad are continuing after tonight:
- 32nd straight final home game victory (dating back to 1983)
- Self still never swept by a B12 team
-
@bskeet Almost forgot about the sweep thing as that network brought it up as if it was gonna happen. Not this year.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Top 10 Plays of the Day coming up. That one super jam by Jamari better be there.
-
@brooksmd I’m on it!
-
It was awesome! Hope it’s on!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 See that leap by the Maryland player? Amazing.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Just read an email from my sister in Topeka. Said the game was pathetic and going to bed. Wonder what she’ll think in the morning. lol
-
@brooksmd and the guy walked! I probably would have too!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I probably would’ve had to change my drawers. lol
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He should’ve tried the shot and got the 3 FT’s.
-
@brooksmd it was pretty!!
-
@brooksmd I thought Perry was done for the year, thought his lower leg was hanging. Do they have MRI at AFH?
-
Could you see what happened?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah. Him and Lucas went up and when they came down LL landed on his knee. To me it was bad but didn’t look really bad. Don’t know what capability they have in AFH as far as MRI. But like it was pointed out, he came back out without crutches so that was good.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 They’ve been showing it on E*** when they show the game hilites.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Game hitlites up in a couple of minutes.

I was going to go to bed in the middle of second half, feeling frustrated. Glad I stayed up. Loved the relentless fight the team showed late in the game.
-
-
From the beginning of this showing the WVU pressure to the end showing Jamari at his best, the evening was summed up in one play
-
@wrwlumpy @jaybate-1.0 Gives hard currency to Jaybates theory of 'Bad Ball"
-
@Lulufulu No that refers to Jaybate’s medical condition.
-
From what I’ve seen so far, the general emotion taken from last night’s game is one of elation. ?
Am I the only one that is still seething that we got into an 18 point hole - at home?
I’m very glad we won and I guess it shows that these guys can get tough and fight back, but I sure would like to see just one game this year where we bolt out to a 10 point lead and win by 20.
-
Huggy bear said “There are some things that happened that are just hard to explain”. That sir is why it says Pay Heed all who enter. Beware of the PHOG
-
I sent the picture of all 10 championship trophies with #11 sitting there to the sports talk radio guys this morning (104.9 The Horn)
with the caption:
How KU Storms The Court!
and they talked about the photo and said it was sent by me on the air. Several guy friends of mine emailed and called me to tell me they knew it was “me” they were talking about.
Both of the guys also said HCBS SHOULD BE COY and not Scott Drew based on what Coach did with such little talent and marveled at what that streak/record means in today’s era.
-
Ah, yes, the medical condition schtick. I love it when the underbelly surfaces in too short of succession for comfort. Always shortly after lackeys ply rhetorical devices old as public relations.
-
@RockChalkinTexas wow! Really cool!
-
@RockChalkinTexas Yeah, after re-watching the last couple of minutes of reg time and the ot (for about the 3rd or 4th time) I noticed there didn’t seem to be any security keeping fans off the floor. "Dat’s how we roll in da Phog."
-
@brooksmd No need for any because AFH FANS are the best in the LAND.
-
Huggy says: “We deserved to win”. Surely he knows this, but some may not “It’s not always the team that plays the best that wins; But the best team almost always Wins!”
-
-
@RockChalkinTexas and because we’ve won before…
-
@wrwlumpy And Bill Self got twice the amount for winning the League
-
@RockChalkinTexas I think Huggy should have to give his 25k back after blowing an 18 point lead.
-
@jaybate-1.0That’s what she said!

From ku sports
On Twitter: KU’s 11th-straight Big 12 title has been a popular topic on Twitter.
“Talk about DOMINANCE/what about the job Bill Self has done in Big 12 play/Rock Chalk Jayhawk faithful help them come back v. WVU,” wrote ESPN’s Dick Vitale.
“KU’s 11th-straight Big 12 crown is one of the most remarkable streaks in all of sports,” wrote Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated.
“I value league championships more than the randomness of NCAA results — to win 11 in a row, never having a down year is spectacular #kubball,” wrote Doug Gottlieb of CBS sports.
“One for the toe: Kansas clinches at least a share of its 11th-straight Big 12 title. That’s Wooden-esque,” wrote Dennis Dodd of CBSsports.com.
“Congrats to Bill Self and Jayhawks on 11th Big12Conference title. Coaching, players and fans all play big part!” wrote ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla.
“That’s 11 in a row for the Jayhawks. And that’s also ridiculous,” wrote Myron Medcalf of ESPN.
“ELEVEN, congrats to them KU boys,” wrote former KU guard Tyshawn Taylor, who is playing pro ball in Puerto Rico.
“Congrats to @KUHoops on yet another Big 12 title. #MoreRingsThanFingers,” wrote Cole Aldrich of the New York Knicks.
“If you are persistent you will get it … if you are consistent you will keep it #11 Straight #Big12champs #MoreRingsThanFingers,” Tweeted former KU guard Tyrel Reed.
“Yup. Yup. Only people getting hurt are the other 9 teams in the conference and their fans,” wrote former KU forward Mark Randall, including a picture of the 11 trophies sitting on a table at center court of Allen Fieldhouse following the KU-WVU game.
-
“Lessoned learned.
Thank God for DVR. LOL”And lesson learned to add at least 1 more hour to the record time!
Had I not done that, I would have missed it.
-
I re-watched the game last night and it ended before anyone scored in overtime. Same thing happened to the last possession against Mizzou.
-
Its been a mixed bag for me this year. I’ve never seen SO many KU games during the regular season before. And for my money I’ve never seen us win so many playing poorly so often. I guess I need to be less critical and applause a team that finds a way to win when things aren’t going well.
