Reality check
-
You should u are awesome.
-
@DoubleDD not really! Just love our team and they give me some great times!
-
If you donāt have faith, what do u have?
-
I love them too. Die and cry with them. Iām just saying as KU fans we might want to temper our expectations a bit. You know sometimes KU fans have to high of expectations. This KU just isnāt that great.
-
@DoubleDD well I have high expectations, just the way I am!
-
I know you would, ') but I have a hard time shaking off loses. So I have to be real with myself. Itās helps.
-
I hate losing too!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I seem to recall weāve had some very good teams in the past that have put their foot to the throats of the opponents in the first half only to let them come back. Fortunately those other teams were older/experienced and able to squeak out a win in the end. Iāve always thought it to be a trait of KU BB just not having the real killer attitude.
-
@brooksmd think it really hurt us losing Embiid! Guys are working hard, just donāt give us much o.
-
Faith is fickle. I mean faith is really believing in something you donāt see, but believe itās there. So itās kind of a double edge sword that you are asking. As I believe there is a God, Hence I have faith. Yet itās not that hard to believe. Just look around. Yet having faith in a basketball team is different. I just donāt see the intangibles that make this KU team nothing more than an early out in the tournament.
-
@DoubleDD your decision!
-
Not really a decision just seeing things for what they are.
-
@DoubleDD Iām with you on faith, but being a life long Cubs fan, I believe until the final buzzer. I donāt know what this team will do starting next week, but until their final game and the season is over Iām there.
-
Me too. Donāt get me wrong Iām not trying to be the downer or make anybody mad, Iām just saying as KU fans just enjoy this team and donāt put to much expectations on this team. I just donāt want to see any KU fans out on ledge thinking about ending it all. LOL
-
The last couple games showed us they can play D when motivated, but their offense makes me want to pull my hair out. Hard to know what else to hope for when the hour is this lateā¦healthy versions of Ellis + Mason plus New Selden would help. What are the odds they all show up at the same time?
-
My thinking is KU should get out of this weak Big 12 (sarcasm) and play in the SEC or ACC where they can just cruise, and not be all beat up come tournament time.
-
@ajvan be nice, wonder if Perry will be ready and strong? Oubre disappeared today too! Cliff ? Not a whole lot of good news there.
-
@DoubleDD Ha, I hear you. Would be nice to beat teams by double digits every night and always have your best players rested and ready to go. But weāre KU. We do things the Right Way.
-
@DoubleDD I lament your frustrations but Fred didnāt score a point. Fact is, he had some really better horses to ride-Billās was lame. While KO was hugely disappointing from my view, I think we also have to give ISU some credit-Niang is tuff as hell to defend & heās not the only one-McKay, Morris too. Plus the whole starting 5 are quick as most teams weāve faced all year. Maybe if LL & especially Mick had more minutes earlier in the season, we beat them 2, maybe 3 times this year. Woulda coulda shoulda? Our sophomores just couldnāt pull it out at the lane like we hoped when it was right there for the taking. All losses are tuff, but chin up Hawk fans, tomorrows another day to be one.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I hope Perry can bounce back, but knee injuries are killer. I donāt think weāll see him in Super-Fast-Twitch-Perry mode again this year, unless itās for short stretches. Suspect we wonāt see Cliff again this year.
Oubre has all the tools, but heās such a diamond in the rough that heās streaky as hell. Aside from Mason & Ellis, you never know exactly who will show up on a given day.Self winning the Big 12 may have been a bigger coupe than we realize?
-
Yes we do, and this Big weak 12 is getting scary good. We hear it all the time look at Duke, Kentucky, Arizona and so on. Look how great their conferences are? Shoot put KU in the SEC, ACC, and Pac and they are in the final four every year. Nothing like having 10 to 15 games of just showing up and winning.
-
@globaljaybird
No I with ya the Clones won it. KU players played hard and they just werenāt good enough, and thatās my point.
-
@globaljaybird HCBS said Lucas is pretty beat up also but he hides it good.
-
I"m loving me some Lucas. I hope HCBS doesnāt over recruit him.
-
@DoubleDD About a year ago maybe longer I watched youtube video of Lucas and thought he was a beast then and wondered why he never got the PT. There is a player there who just needs PT.
-
You know it brother. It seems the minutes he gets, he gets better. So surprised it took so long for HCBS to put him in the starting lineup? Lucas just fits HCBS high/low like a spoon to ice cream.
-
@ajvan I just listened to self, Mason and Wayneās podcast. Coach renews my hopes. I had a thought if Wayne plays like he has a few more games, would this be his best chance to go?
-
@brooksmd he just soooo slow!
-
Well do tell? Donāt leave us in the dark?
-
@brooksmd Yes he landed really hard flat on his back & tailbone a few games ago & hasnāt been healed from pain yet. Some guys just have a different pain threshold & donāt allow it to be displayed. Part of the psych process of letting the opponent see a weakness is some of it. I like LL ALOT. Heās gonna be great for us before heās done at KU, mark my words. Relefordsā redshirt, & fresh & soph year frustrations are very comparable to the path LL is taking. Hell Rele played for a Nat Championship after paying his dues for FIVE flippin years and was one of the best lock down defenders weāve had since HCBS has been here-maybe even EVER. Not saying LL will make/achieve that pinnacle but think about it. When he is a 5th year senior, so will Frank, Selden, & Greene be seniors also. Graham & Svi will be juniors. And unless he gets injured & canāt play LL is staying till then. he may not quite be as good a rim protector as Whithey, but heās gonna be damn good just the same before heās finished.
-
@globaljaybird those big guys get beat up good!! Mason needs to rest some too. If u havenāt listened to spodcast itās on KU sports
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I donāt go there much anymore.-google trackers give me pop ups on about every site I visit after going there. Might check for a game time but thats about all. I donāt like to read the comments at all there anymore either Too many whiners & not enough knowledge or loyalism. Frankly that site could blow a tattoo of a $100 bill IMO. OK @brooksmd-Now you get your laugh !!
-
@brooksmd Damn Uncle Pete strikes again !!
-
Why was Kelly riding the pine most of the second half?
-
Iām more disgusted with this team than any KU team that Iāve ever seen. Including football.
Iām signing off now so I donāt say a lot of really mean, ugly things. Everyone have a good evening.
-
It could be worse, we could be misery.
-
@wissoxfan83
LMAO nice. However Iām afraid the fix is in. 810am KCās biggest sports station is bagging on the demise of KU basketball. I guess the SEC pays more?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Oh man, wish Iād listened in, I need inspiration for this team! Feel free to share any more insider knowledge.
Good point, this is the best Wayne has looked since his freshman year. A strong, bouncey, high-flying tourney could get him back on draft boards.
-
@brooksmd I love his smarts & work ethic, just wish he could get off the ground without a runway & signal lights.
-
@ajvan just go to KU sports
-
My friend Lucas post up like, like, like dare I say Danny Manning. No seriously Lucas is showing heās a dangerous man.
-
@jayhawk-007 2 fouls early and couldnāt produce. Read his thought at kusports
-
@DoubleDD Danny had speed & agility, though. If Lucas can figure out how to pull off the concrete Adidasā¦watch out. Iāll ride that bandwagon all day.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 reluctantly clicks over
-
@ajvan we need a 5, no doubt!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Letās hope Diallo, Zimmerman et all are getting the message!
-
hell ya.
-
@ajvan still think Oubreās gone?
-
For those that hate the google trackers, I will share a trick that has been working for me. Most browsers have an option in the file menu to open a New Private Window. Chrome calls it an āIncognitoā Window.
In any case, when I go to those other sites in those private windows, there are no cookies or traceable elements of my identity and the google questions are usually not served.

@bskeet Thx skeet-IEās in private browser curtails the ads also.
