Howard Game Thread
-
@wissox give him the opportunity to get acclimated
-
@RockChalkinTexas He started slowly last year I recall, but will go in spurts looking like this. Seems like Self is being patient with him in this one.
-
@approxinfinity If this is Mayo Lite, I can’t wait to see full fat Mayo.
-
Outscored the Bison 46-19 in 1st half. Just 26-19 in 2nd…
-
Floor looks brighter/lighter
-
Hunter still shaking off the rust
-
@wissox no remote??
-
@nuleafjhawk No, we have a smart TV and can easily survive without it.
-
@RockChalkinTexas I’m not a good multi-tasker
-
Bench has outscored starters 39-36…
-
We have some on good ball defenders. Storr certainly is.

Looks a bit fat (a subject I know all about)
-
@wissox oh, come on. You have to have either a crappy Roku remote or one with 400 buttons on it. It’s not 1978 when your dad made you change the channels like mine did
-
@DanR LOL! Somehow my wife and I and our aging baby boomer selves have figured out how to make it work!
-
Let’s see if udunga can shoot free throws
-
@DanR I think he’s good at it as many times he goes to the line
-
It’s Flooding Down in Texas
Miss Stevie Ray Vaughn
-
Oh my Flory
-
Just looked at the box score. Great to see so much scoring off the bench.
-
Good warm up for the next couple games. Rock chalk!
-
RCJH
KU
-
So when does the season start?
-
@approxinfinity UNC
-
Well I know it was just Howard, but saw some good things. Good D, good bench scoring, good passing, not many TOs. Mayo might have worked into the starting lineup. Hope they keep it up, and… good guys win again
-
Nice to have enough shooters where when one guy isnt shooting well we dont have to hope he can get it going.
-
We will find out a lot Friday evening, lots of good stuff here. Was impressed with the defense for much of the night. Our lack of size still scares me we will struggle against sizable guards
-
Wow, newcomers scored 53 of our 87 points.
-
@RockChalkinTexas I missed it - was there official word on Jamari Mredshirting?
-
@Bosthawk he wasn’t suited up and Wayne Simien talked about the possibility and mentioned others who were juniors who redshirted. Coach mentioned it somewhere too.

no , not yet
-
Thanks all… next question - how many games can one play and still redshirt?
-
I think it’s still 0 in basketball. Up to 4 in football.
-
I know it was Howard and got to keep things in perspective but, I think we have to give passing grades to Zeke – -Flory – -& Diddy for the first game of the year.
Zeke with 19 points and some rebounds- --Flory with 13-- -and 8 for his debut- -and Diddy I believe had 8 points a couple of Steals and some assists --solid defense- -could of scored more but played well

Redshirt is official per KU reporters

Yeah zero in basketball but coaches are trying to change that.
-
What are we, junior high kids? Who the heck is Diddy?
-
@BShark it’s really silly you can play 33% of the football games and redshirt. Basketball you should be able to play before the second semester IMO.
-
-
@RockChalkinTexas lol no more Diddy’s huh?
-
@RockChalkinTexas Who is what I asked. I have no clue who diggy? Diddy is what was mentioned by the way.
-
@wissox coit, The lil guard from n Illinois
-
Diggy is what he likes to be called apparently
-
I dig it. Maybe his dad was a ND fan of Digger Phelps
-
ESPN is already in midseason form. Their wrap up about the first day of the season is generally about Duke.
-
They got Cooper Flagg!!!
-
@BeddieKU23 and the world’s most average coacb. How can the world not root for such a relatable moron?
-
Hey, that was a nice game by the Hawks!
Zeke looked pretty smooth. Even saw some quickness and explosion I wasn’t sure he had. Love it.
This is going to be an interesting year with the lineup. Self for sure is going to have to go 9 deep every game. That’s a good thing! How he handles that from game to game is going to be crazy to watch.
Dunno much about Storr, but that’s gonna be our dramatic player story line this year — how he adjusts.
-
Just a rando thought but I actually think other teams are going to have more of a problem tryin to defend Ku this yr. I think we aren’t going to have to worry about scoring this year—we have the scorers. Diddy - - -Rylan - -Zeke- - -Hunter - --even Aj before it’s all said and done.
I think we are going to be able to space the floor, they won’t be able to clog the lane as much - -and w won’t have to hear from our expert about our D-2 player having to score more, he won’t be on the floor as much, he can focus on running he team more, and yet our expert will I’m sure be able to find something - -Anyways I truly believe we got the scorers this year.
-
After this game, I had the same thought (we have shooters this year! Yay!) and then I remembered this was Howard. Our shooters did look good against them, but let’s see how they look on Friday when they go up against size, length, etc.
IIRC, didn’t look so great against Arkansas… but that wasn’t a perfect litmus test either. So my fingers are crossed that we will look more like last night on a regular basis, but too soon to tell.
-
Not a lot to read too much into other than it looks like KU has more playable depth than they have had in past couple.of years which is good.
Friday night, we’ll have a much better idea of where this team really is at.
