Feeling the Fieldhouse magic?

Slim I like your score prediction. Jay The Duke Bilas said this morning that Auburn and Houston are the top two in playing hard. If I remember Iowa State pushed us off the ball maybe Cincinnati did too. The point is Houston is on you so hard you pick up your dribble and the percentage of bad things happening goes up. Bill will want to go inside to Hunter but Houston has an athletic and beefy 6’8" shot blocker with an impressive wing span that Hunter may have trouble with. Hunt will get his shots but needs to hit 60% or so. Houston is shooting 39.9% from three while we allow only 28.6%. I can go on and on but we are evenly matched and our ability to score any which way will win the day. What I don’t want to see is them getting up by four or so possessions and we might make little runs but they hold us off all game like ISU did. The ISU point differential is from their end of game junk baskets but they just held us off and there wasn’t anything we could do about it. Not a good feeling at all.

Sharp will play today. The odds for a team winning the natty has Duke #1 Houston and ISU at #3 & #4 and our own sweet selves as the #9 favorite. Wouldn’t it be nice to be 2 up and 1 down versus the top four?
-
I think you are forgetting auburn who’s #1. If anybody watched gameday at all - it was all about offense, great guards who can attack and shoot it and flat out fill it up
They play hard defense but aren’t perfect….meanwhile they often can’t be stopped offensively
The top 6-8 teams you can bet on to win it all - all put up ridiculous points

Picking this game is a tough one. I don’t feel too confident in a win, but it’s possible. The Jayhawks are a bit more unpredictable this season than in years past.
If we get in a hole today after a typical slow start, a think a comeback will be more difficult.
I do think Hunter can excel in this game. Bidunga, too.
If either goes off, I say we win 70-67.
If not, I think there will be too much defensive pressure on Zeke to pull this one off.
-
This game could go either way. Without KJ I think its logical that Houston is favored
-
Looks like our game will start on ESPN News because the Duke game has 11 minutes of game time left and it’s tied
-
I like the Jayhawks in a squeaker 61-60. Houston has zero quad 1 wins this year I read somewhere. That means I have something in common with Houston.
-
When it says “also available on the ESPN App” does that mean i should be able to watch on the app I loaded onto my smart tv?

dang. Stupid Dookies.
Not seeing the ESPNNews switch, but sure hope it’s there. Hate coming in 11 minutes into the game!
-
Whew. it’s true. ESPNNews.
-
Yes our game is on ESPN News right now
-
I hate ESPN
-
Good intensity so far
-
It almost seemed like Hunt acted as a moving screen for LJ Cryer.
-
Fans are in it
-
Houston is setting its defense inside the arc right now. KU will have to hit some 3s.
-
Sharp looking at bit hobbled for Houston which is helpful for us
-
A jump stop whoa!
-
Zeke with the deek
-
Threke
-
Zeke!
-
Falling in love with 3 a little much
-
Wow, life looking good then bam, nada.
-
3ach!
-
Nice pass Juan!
-
Sweet pass
-
Playing well. Crowd giving them all the fuel.
-
Hanni saying it’s the best it’s sounded in there since the UNC game.
-
Holding our own so far, I like it
-
Juan with 5 dimes already
-
Doing ok so far, no silly turnovers is a good thing
-
5 dimes for Juan.
-
Disappointed we didn’t get to hear a lengthy interview with Duke’s coach
-
Answered their 8-0 - -with a 5-0 for us
-
Students are back.
-
@Zabudda he’s been great taking care of the ball
The assists aren’t getting downhill as been discussed but against this defense 0 turnovers is important. Needs to be strong with the ball and hopefully tcu he was just under the weather
-
Shortest guy on the court has gotten 2 rebounds.
-
Hope Sharpe continues to look dull
-
Coach a little animated
-
4 guards 4 guards 4 guards!!!
See what happens
-
1-5 FT’s?
-
D3
-
Looks like Juan took the TCU game personally
-

D3
D1.5!
Crazy to be a guard at KU and the other team leaves you wide open from 3 begging you to shoot!
I’d shoot 42% from deep if I wasn’t guarded heck Auburn about shoots that guarded!
-
Sit down Kelvin, we all saw the foul against your guy.
-
So far, Storr is back to form - that is, everything before the last game…
-
Houston is baffled they are getting called for fouls. Can’t make this up
-
After that series , hard to believe we are actually leading in rebounds 13-12
-
@wissox Hopefully, he will mouth himself into a T.
-
guys these are free points. There is a reason they are called free
