Wow Colorado needed OT to get past Northern Colorado
-
Maybe that’s like KU and Wichita State? The little in-state rival plays above their ceiling when it’s against the big state u school?
-
@wissox First half was brilliant, everything was going in.
2nd half was a different story, I wont blame it on refs but foul disparity is something to ponder.
Mayo is a real deal and Flory has a very high ceiling.
-
UNC guards are very good, super fast.
If their Bigs develop, they will make a lot of noise.

I felt like the first half energy was unsustainable. KU came out too hyped and UNC was a bit overwhelmed. An inferior opponent would have wilted away as KU coasted the second half. Kudos to UNC for making it a game when KU went flat.
-
So uh, no worries about Zeke Mayo’s game translating up anymore lol
-
Hunter defending the last play of the game and running to Self and an old school double five between them. Bill wanted this one. Watching the highlights for the fourth time and noticing one team played chippy and it wasn’t us. I could see the excitement from our studly bench guys and this team may have come together a bit. Spent a couple of service years in NC and very nice people especially Kinston but of the college towns the best action was acquired in Winston-Salem where lots of tobacco was grown and a uniform was an asset. Michigan State game will be it’s usual war.

None. I was one of the skeptics.
-
In other games last night #22 UCLA lost to Nevada. #24 Mississippi only beat Grambling by 2. All BIG 12 entries won their matchups with Colorado coming the closest to an upset (?) when the beat N. Colorado by 2.
-
I hoped Zeke would be a solid addition, maybe a good 6th man. I was not expecting him to come in and immediately go off for 20+ against a top 10 team with so much speed. Good stuff!
-
Anyone watching Baylor Arkansas?
-
@approxinfinity No, who won?
-
Baylor
-
Auburn Houston was a banger
-
@FarmerJayhawk Didn’t get to watch. After their turmoil it’s pretty impressive to go on the plane to Houston and put up a fight. Pun fully intended.
-
BIG 12 looking strong early. League teams only have two losses and both losses are to ranked teams. Of course Baylor got whooped, but then beat Arkansas. Got quite a few wins against ranked teams already.

B12 has a gaudy record with only the 2 losses, but only 4 teams have played a decent foe - virtually no Power 5 opponents. Basically, the B12 is 3-2 against ranked teams - wins against UNC, Arkansas and TA&M - losses to Gonzaga and Auburn…
-
Anyone see auburn flying around like airplanes after their win over Houston? Pretty sure our coach wouldn’t like it! Stupid, joke was on them.
-
Bruce Pearl is their coach. Correct.
-
@AsadZ figures, huh?
-
@AsadZ must’ve been a crazy knock down drag out
-
Anybody read the Utah AD accused the big 12 refs of cheating during their game against byu. Fined 40,000. Oh, fb.
-
Utah is a mess. BYU cheer coach was knocked out by a bottle thrown from the stands during the game. Unbelievable.
-
I didn’t watch the Utah vs BYU game but apparently they are upset that defensive holding was called extending BYUs games winning drive. While Utah scored zero points and only gained 79 yards offensively in the second half…… odd lol
-
Purdue’s 7’4" freshman center gone for the season with a broken fibia. Tough news for them and they likely will drop in the rankings. Beat Yale by 8 tonight. #2 Bama only won by 8 at home over McNeese. No major upsets today as the big boys continue to beat up the little boys.
-
I see Zuby Ejiofor, KU to St John’s a couple of years ago, still has scoring and rebounding woes. Pitino may bench the junior.
-
@Gorilla72 6.5points per game on 42% shooting, for a big that’s rough.
Udeh’s 10 points (64%) 9 rebound average is solid. Looks like he’s turning into a contributor.
I was disappointed when they left. I wonder how one or both would’ve developed at KU, but Hunt and Flory are much more talented/better.
-
@dylans Udeh I was disappointed in leaving, I think he had grown into a solid player. Flory I think has a higher ceiling than both. But with KJ and Hunt on the roster before they dipped out. They knew playing time would be pretty limited.
-
Flagg is going to be terrific but he’s had a BRUTAL last couple minutes.
-
Haha, I feel bad making fun of a freshman in college but Flagg commits two turnovers when Duke had a chance to tie or take lead in last 15 seconds.
-
@FarmerJayhawk who guards him?
-
Future opponent Oakland played Illinois toughly last night. Didn’t win, but they were no slouches.
Minnesota scores 14 first half points on their way to a loss to N. Texas.
-
Washington was losing by 11 at the half to Seattle Pacific a D3 team. Came back strong in the 2nd but goodness that’s bad.
-
Oakland did lose by a little bit in their previous game, a 44 pt loss to Boise St. I think it says more about Illinois then anything we shall see…
-
Cam Carter and LSU kind of hanging it on K/State at the half 43-31.
Actually had a chance to be up by 20 at the half but a couple of TO’S by LSU late and a three by the kitty’s now down 12-- Ya the same Cam Carter that played at K/State now at LSU
-
Cats STINKY
-
@FarmerJayhawk that was poor coaching on Scheyer‘s part. I’m gonna ISO a 17 year old repeatedly with the game in the balance against JRs and SRs with ample experience ( odd saying that about UK). It will be interesting to see how much longer before they are callling for Scheyer’s head. Especially with Blias and Jay Williams yapping about how this the most talented team Dook has had in decades. Jay said it was the only team that could rival the 2001 national team he was on which was loaded with NBA talent.
-
K strighty got their tails handed to them on the Boards- -43 – -25 , need we say more ? - Hawkins id not impress me, Cam Carter ended up with 20 for LSU
-
@jayballer67 they sure hype up Hawkins after last game like he was a god
-
@kjayhawks nobody’s going to do less with more. Flagg would be the perfect 4 for this team and KU did all they could but alas was not meant to be.
-
@FarmerJayhawk
KJ definitely wouldn’t be starting and that may have played a role. Hopefully Self reminds KJ of this before the game lol
-
@kjayhawks exactly lol. Nike was somewhat trying to protect their investment only for him to turn around and sign with… New Balance
-
@FarmerJayhawk that’s the thing right now with NIL, it’s gonna be who can give me the biggest check right now.
-
As much as I despise the kittens, I DO have to say that if Jimmy Dykes could bury his nose any further up LSU’S ass he would break it for sure- - His bias towards the SEC is un bearable Every single time LSU would do something/Anything Dykes would be like OH what great defense- -or how solid they were- just on and on- -it was so wet from him choking up SEC Bullshit - -always been that way
-
@kjayhawks If you think KJ would have sat if Flagg came here you don’t know Self.
Flagg would have played the 3 spot and started next to Kj, Hunt, Juan and pick your 5th starter
No way senior Kj is not starting….Bill has never done this especially with his favorites
-

KJ Adams is a better basketball player than Coleman Hawkins.
Coleman through three games at KSU looks…exactly how he did at Illinois. The idea of Coleman is better than the actual basketball player. Oh and shockingly, guards from Cal State Fullerton and UIC don’t look great against real comp. But they go back to playing Slap Dick State and Grab Ass Tech after this, so they can have more more feel good wins. Their roster is very strange, loaded up on middling big men.
-
@BShark “Grab Ass Tech” Is that where Chris Beard coached?
-
@wissox - Rick Pitino, IIRC.
-
@Gorilla72 Sadly there’s a list and it grows.
-
Missed the KState game. Took a break from hoops and watched the interesting golf movie The Long Drive on Netflix. True story about a bunch of Mexican kids at a border HS in Texas 60 years ago who won the state championship. The movie would have sucked if it was fictional because it was presented as too far fetched to be true.
