@wrwlumpy who has gas?
-
This is a good opportunity to ask the age old question… Why are there 239 beans in Irish bean soup?
Because one more would be too farty!
-
Maybe the question should be…have you seen any news about any of the other US teams that will be competing a the WUG? I have not; the KU BBall team probably has more info available than the rest of the teams combined.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Or maybe not … at least now. Lots of other news on recruits, the draft, etc. However, once the WUG get going, that will be the litmus test. They’ll be on ESPNU. I bet we get some pub out of this.
-
Help me … has anyone found a boxscore from Tuesday’s game??
-
“Maybe the question should be…have you seen any news about any of the other US teams that will be competing a the WUG?”
There are other USA teams at WUG??? (blush)
Seriously… when I go on a rant you can’t take me too literal or even literal at all. I’m like the Bluto in “Animal House” who goes on a rant about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor. And the others said, “let him go, he’s on a roll.”
Nope. All the boxes are on summer vacation.

@HighEliteMajor KC Star ran a muddled box score which I read at 11 pm Tuesday night. That is where I discovered that Lucas and Mickelson combined for a whopping total of 2 pts.
-
Mason, Ellis, Selden and Traylor posted some impressive stats. Without the solid contribution of SMU’s Nic Moore, would we have won that scrimmage?
-
Stat line of the day : Wayne Selden 13 points / 6 assists / 0 turnovers. HUBBA HUBBA…Me likey !
-
@REHawk if we had DG!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 If we had DG we would have won that scrimmage!

We need this kind of selfless act during a KU basketball game this year! This is what we need all year long! This is the kind of thing that makes believers out of non believers! Allen Fieldhouse would go NUTS if Mason craped his pants on a game winning drive to the bucket! This is real news! http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25123051/floridas-adam-lane-is-happy-he-pooped-his-pants-during-a-game
One of the best reads this year for me!
Somebody sharted!
-
@Statmachine that’s what I said!
-
@HighEliteMajor Check KUAthletics.com. I saw one there when I watched the highlight video.
-
Checking the stats, I see that our bigs combined for 34 rebounds: that’s 17 rebounds per 40 minutes.
Even with more possessions because of the faster clock, that seems pretty good.
Jamari led with 10 rebounds in 19 minutes, which looks fine until you see that 6 were offensive. He still needs to show he can rebound on defense.
-
I guess I’ve just seen too many movies in my life -
-
@Crimsonorblue22 @RockChalkinTexas - Thanks.
-
@ParisHawk The 10 rebounds stuck out to me … good catch on the offensive rebounds. Traylor had really about six decent rebounding games last season, including 10 vs. UCSB. I say that because Self described Canada as a “mid-major.” Traylor followed that up with 7 against UK. But only had more than five just four times the rest of the season.
What was really the issue with rebounding was the fact that he regularly disappeared - a majority of the time.
In 24 games, he had four rebounds or less. But in 14 of those games, he had two or less. That’s astonishingly bad. It’s that sort of poor production that kills us.
Couple that with a below average scorer, a guy that gets pushed around in the paint, and an average defender at the absolute best – well, that’s why I don’t like him on the floor.
For Traylor to help Kansas this season, and not be a net negative, he needs to rebound. It’s that simple. Otherwise he costs us possessions and points by his mere presence.
-
Somehow, I knew you would write that post about his Double/Double. He is what he is and he is ours. He had a great game! Apparently only one kind of rebound really counts. He is a fifth year senior that got a late start to the game. He is not a superstar, neither was Brady or Travis. He will be a part of our run this year whether you like it or not. Don’t waste time on being Negative. He has personally won games for us. Once at the free throw line and many times with his hustle. He has lost games for us too. Like all of them have. Lighten up. Progress not Perfection!

So far this is just preparation and as such it has mostly local interest; once the games are underway, I am sure they will in the national news. Last year Kentucky played in an International tournament (Bahamas), which they also had to subsidize, against the national teams of a couple of countries Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic) plus a team from France and I don’t remember reading anything about the scrimmages they had preparing for the tournament, but once it got underway, we saw the summaries and box scores…
By the way, the box scores of all KU games are always available the the KU Athletic web site; here is a link to that particular box score…. BTW, Traylor had a solid game and I expect him to be a big contributor this coming season.
-
@wrwlumpy he does have some good pts. Don’t won’t to watch a free throw contest.
-
Because of the FIBA basket interference rules, offensive rebound will be more important because they can result in a direct scores.
-
@JayHawkFanToo His offensive tip in was pretty cool.
