Chatting KU Baylor hoops here
-
OU-ISU game reminds me of the Loyola Marymount, OU, UNLV (?) offenses of the late 80’s.
-
Do we have anyone that can consistently keep Niang out of the paint off the dribble? OU doesn’t so far. He’s having his way in there
-
@Bwag I don’t think anyone can outrun us…lol.
-
@KUSTEVE on offense in transition I agree. But we have had trouble getting back on defense @bwag is right about that. And we haven’t played anyone that fast yet either I don’t believe
-
@KUSTEVE If we’re ready for it. They’re playing faster than us though, pushing at nearly every opportunity.
-
@cragarhawk I believe someone pushed us early in the year…but we’ve been better since then, but this has been relentless in this game.
I think I saw the shot clock hit 10 once.
-
@cragarhawk I’m sure it will be a point of emphasis in our preparation. OU is the same team we beat in Lawrence, and lost to in Norman on a last second shot last year. I think we match up quite well with them.
-
That was an awesome game to watch! My idea of fun, even on the top row. There were so many cool videos too. They did one w/guess that tune, Svi read the words and then sang along w/it, the royals song- he was awful! It was really funny. The popup was of Bragg and it was funny too. Good time! Guys played hard, diallo, in my opinion, has a long way to go. He doesn’t seem to want to get near the bucket on O. Fading back on his shot. Perry responded well to his rear chewing. Dg played really well too. Of course Selden and Hunter looked good. I bet Bragg blocks out on throws next game! Gotta give props to BG, his game is getting better. Thought Selden could have got the ball to him more. Can’t wait for Monday!
-
ISU up on OU 35-31
-
@RockChalkinTexas I really dislike ISU.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Me too! McKay and Niang are both so full of themselves.
-
@KUSTEVE w/out Perry and BG!
-
@RockChalkinTexas and morris
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No Rock Chalk chant at the endthat I could hear on tv.
-
Niang running point, bringing the ball up
-
Did they ever show the replay of Mason mugging? BG was hit across his arm and Mari never touched the 3 Baylor guys all dribbling together! They showed that again.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I didn’t see it.
-
Which section were you in. We were in 16. Row 25.
-
Heard ksu lost bowl game! Can’t say much so I won’t!
-
@FarSideHawk sec4 row 27, across from KU bench top row.
-
@Bwag I am not sure about that. We push it at every opportunity also.
-
@FarSideHawk did you have fun?
-

JTray-0/0 &0/0 for 0 points, 0 RB, 2 asst. 0 steal, 1 blk, 0 TO. 4 PF
There folks should be your big man rotation for now with exceptions for specific matchups or until #2/#3 options begin to grow towards their ceilings.
-
@DinarHawk Not like I was watching in the first half of the OU/ISUgame. These teams were jacking up the first available open or semi-open look. Then it comes down to whether they are connecting or not.
Don’t get me wrong, I think we can play like this, we just gotta be ready.
-
OU @ 13:50 mark in the 2nd half has taken 23 3 pointers. Only hitting 30% and down 1. ISU only shot 11 3pt’s @ 45%.
-
ISUshooting 50% from the field
-
@Bwag OU was throwing up prayers like they were 20 down! Finally calmed down. I like Kruger, but not sold on him being a great coach, good not great.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 The way they were shooting/playing reminded me of Loyola Marymount 89/90 if they had been hitting a better %:
The 1990 squad (Loyola-Marymount) was also the highest scoring team in NCAA Division I history with an average of 139 points per game.[2]
-
@Bwag I remember watching them, did they have the kid that died?
-
@Bwag - nice sum!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah. Hank Gathers…after he died, their NCAA performance that year:
First Round New Mexico State W 111-92
Second Round Alabama W 149-115
Sweet Sixteen Alabama W 62-60
Elite Eight UNLV L 101–131
Some crazy offense played in that time period.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Hank Gathers. Very promising future. Was leading the nation with 32 ppg and 13 rbpg. And that was in March.
-

-
@brooksmd sad stuff there…seems Len Bias was in that time period as well or maybe that is my aging memory collapsing time.
-
@Bwag Yep
-
Other teams were running and gunning in that period including OU under Billy Tubbs, UNLV with the Shark.
Not sure that defense was too much of a point of emphasis. Bill Self obviously didn’t grow up under the Tubbs coaching tree!
-
@brooksmd think I saw it??
-
@Bwag Although reading that article I wonder if any NBA team would’ve taken a chance on him with his medical condition. Don’t remember hearing about that back then.
-
@Bwag very!
-
@Bwag we r running now plus playing some D!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 If our game Monday nite is like this one I’m gonna need some tranquilizers.
-
@brooksmd wonder if they checked then? Like the Baylor kid.
-
We had 67 shots tonight.
OU with 5 minutes left has taken 67 shot…now 68
-
@Bwag The positive is we have the Phog on our side.
-
@brooksmd and D!
-
@Bwag %?
-
28 pts off the bench =- that’s huge! we’ll get used to this number from point on, i hope!
-
Danny told his teammates they were going to run with OU in the 1st half, despite what Larry had just told them! 50-50, still the greatest run and gun of basketball ever played in the college game!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 TT beat UT.
-
@brooksmd osu play?
