Third 2025 basketball season
-
We have gone 3-2 since the new season proclamation through one of our harder stretches.
After that declaration our bigs have been pretty good. Flory has receded a bit but KJ and Hunt seem way more motivated than they were.
Another new season starts now. I hope Dajuan can lock in as floor general and be efficient, and Mayo and Rylan can find shooting consistency on the road. T-Mobile Center should be a good transitionary “home away from home” stepping stone.
We always have a chance.

Can’t believe that NONE of our tourney games are on any of ESPN’S Channels today OR tonight- -Nice ESPN - Real NICE

@SlimShaddy54 sadly, expected.

That’s part of the reason why I don’t have cable

Couple of misc things here. - – Am I the only one or are there others like me that can’t help but wonder what happened with dam what was his name- -Bryce Thompson ?- -that a lot were hot on he played here for a year and then transferred to Okie St ?- My thinking is he just didn’t ever develop anymore did he ? --I thought he was going to be really good , but never did develop/progress like I thought he would. Anyone else think that ?- -maybe just me.
The other thing I was thinking about , I think KU should go into this tourney free and easy , no pressure , no one is expecting us to do anything this wee. Everyone picking Houston and very validly so -BUT saw during the Okie St/Cinn game KU wasn’t even listed with a 10 % chance to win it- - -under a 10 % chance. - Would love to have people sleep o us just tossing us out as an after thought – let them go ahead and over look us.- -Not saying we will win it all but yet should be be some MoJo for us.
I agree with some others even in our last couple of losses I think we have been playing better. Played Texas Tech rally close - -Played Houston at Houston tough within six giving them 37 more opportunities to score with twenty turnovers and giving up 17 offensive rebounds.
If we would/could live up to our potential/clean game-- we have proven wrere3e capable of doing damage. -We have Beaten Duke yes early , beaaten N Carolina , beaten Michigan St - - Beaten Iowa St -we gave Houston the game in the last minute once & played them within six at their place- -wewre quite capable of making a run-- it’s just a matte of doing it

@dylans i’ve been peeing away money on ESN+ for a few years. Stopped that a few days ago.

@SlimShaddy54 bryce thompson when he was kansas had a pretty janky shot, wasnt really a great scorer. Seems like he is a decent role player, but having a weird form that doesn’t go in puts a ceiling on things.

@nuleafjhawk I went to one game this year. It would pay for all the streaming services for a few years for each ticket. And they weren’t court side seats either! It’s a bargain if you want to see KU ball. If not it’s a rip off. To each their own. I used to be content reading the newspaper to find out about the Jayhawks too.

Today is all low/mid major championship games. None of the ACC games are on ESPN/ESPN2 either today. Only big time match up on either network is the WCC title game between Gonzaga and St. Mary’s.

@dylans i went to a baseball game, good seats, and the juice was definitely not worth the squeeze. By comparison streaming services dont look like a ripoff.

I remember when he had talk about being a OAD

I went to the Rockets game last night. Concession prices were so damn ridiculous. $17 for a chicken tender basket with fries, $11.50 for a souvenir sized soda. Premium beer was $15 and regular beer was $11. A bottle of water was $6.50. I think the big bucket of popcorn was $13 and the small bucket was $8.
I paid less than $25 for the ticket (front row of the upper bowl) from Stubhub, but it’s the concession prices that are keeping regular families away from games. I ha e so much respect for Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank for keeping concession prices low at the Falcons stadium.
I pay less for the Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle than it costs for a family to buy concessions, not tickets, just concessions, at a Houston Rockets game.

Probably for the best he left because he’s still a very limited offensive player. His best PER rating for a season was this year and it’s 14.2 which is below average. As much people crap on Dejuan and KJ here, they’re both better overall offensive players than Bryce. He’s AJ Storr levels of inefficient on offense. He is a good defender though and would’ve been a nice defensive stopper on a good team though.

@Texas-Hawk-10 ya, just seems crazy that’s the only one. Sure looks like there would be all kinds of room for them to have an adjusted time slot. No other mid major or low on ESPN either , just Gonzaga- -just seems weird
-
I think i saw where Torvik has KU a top 10ish team in their last 5 with improved offense stats. Perhaps a glimmer of hope or grasping at straws.
Had Houston and Tech in 1 possession games late and didn’t finish. That’s who they have been. You always hope some kind of improvement can be made after several lessons along the way. If the group comes together and plays for the Jersey on the front, anything is possible.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I was thinking I’d prob take him over Storr but that’s about it

Tonight is giving a spotlight to the low major conference tournament games including several conference championship games. Those are more exciting games than watching a bunch a crappy major conference teams in an opening round game.

UCF it is fella’s- - 87— 72

Go Figure Gonzaga beats St Marys I think it was 58-- - 51
