@jaybate-1.0 self box and 1?
-
Fouls aside. Gotta get back quicker and guard with their feet. Looked all half long like if OU wasn’t missing shots they’re up on us. And yep. Sure enough
-
@globaljaybird Higgins has x-ray vision?
-
The only reason OU is even in this game is the officiating.
-
Shooting %s almost dead even. We have more boards, but many more TOs and fouls. Plus, they have 6 blocks to our 1. Our guards got “sped up” as HCBS often complains of - really first time this year they haven’t played well. Expect that will be softly talked about at in the locker room…
-
Lon just actioned KU to death.
Self took off the Trey gloves and picked up the pace.
Lon said fine, we’ll play it any way you want Bill.
These are two tough coaches to outflank!
-
@jaybate-1.0 Maybe so but I hope Danny’s image appears as they come out from the bench & says “EFF THAT”
-
@jaybate-1.0 If coaching duel is code for one team depending on one guy being on fire, while said guy’s team is get every freaking whistle (good and bad), then yeah, it’s coaching. Sadly, the worst part of all of this, if any questionable calls occur in the second half and KU wins, no one will remember the happenings of the first half.
Half time adjustments:
- Graham way out of his element for the moment. He calms down, gets back to normal, and helps set up the snipers, Greene and Selden.
- KU does not lose sight of Hield again, and forces him to operate from half court and secondary break. This comes at the expense of second chance point, but KU not killing the offensive glass anyhow, so it’s a net positive.
- Officials stop holding up Kruger’s and the Sooners’ balls and call the game properly. OU will not be in the Double Bonus in the second half.
- KU keeps up the good ball movement they exhibited in the first half, and with a fair whistle, pull ahead and win by three possessions.
-
@DoubleDD and our poor defense and OU hitting shots. Make no mistake
-
Lone doesn’t have enough bullets to stay in this game.
-
@DoubleDD As long as the ref’s keep his starters out of foul trouble he’s got enough to win.
-
@DanR Mason had a helluva a block & strip. Even DV saw it… I ain’t as old as him but he ain’t blind either.
-
I wouldn’t say poor defense. Nobody is going to shut down OU. To many weapons. Take away the one sides officiating and OU is getting blown out.
-
@DCHawker I’m not sure why Self recently commented on our guards not having enough turnovers due to not pushing it. I’d rather see them play under more control. Graham with 4 turnovers and most not really forced that I can remember.
-
@Bwag yes, much better under control
-
Nope. Even great starters get tired.

Higgins is the one who ejected Bobby Hurley. #$%&*-+++,/;##66*-66**-
-
@DoubleDD Hunter, LL and Bragg only Hawks without a PF.
-
Boy that was the worst minute in Allen fieldhouse history.
Mason is exhausted already he blatantly gave up the 3 that cut it to the 40 38 by standing there.
How do you blow 2 first half leads of 11. Don’t guard buddy Hield that’s how.
I still expet to turn this around but man er have got to want it
-
Thank God KU has Depth.
-
I’m drinking a beer called Three Blind Mice. Seemed appropriate.
-
@brooksmd He refs like KRAP too.
-
@tundrahok refs booed as they were coming out
-
If Self can’t stop Hield and get Devonte untracked, then Lon turns it back into an inside rebounding contest and wins.
If Self can untrack Devonte, or untrack Svi/BG, stop Hield, only grind with lead, KU wins.
Lon is in the better position. I predicted OU would win. Hope to hell Self has a rabbit in a hat.
-
@globaljaybird
-
Sorry sir, but bench play wins this game.
-
@tundrahok brewed here in spfd, mo. Shut down Hield or not, we can’t win with this many turnovers from our guards who usually protect the ball very well.
-
Of course they made the wrong call there but it’s a play that almost always goes to the offensive player and that’s just how it is.
Turnovers are way up this game especially graham
-
@Crimsonorblue22 that’s not so bad. They deserve to have the hell beat out of them in the middle of the floor. Lol
-
Heild will get his, just tighten up tos and fouls
-
This is why I signed up for this site to be honest. Having to type out my frustration helps me not throw out my frustration with heavy objects into soft walls…
-
Foul them harder, I say.
-
Key to the 2nd half is getting to the bonus first. OU took big advantage of our foul trouble
-
@Jayrawks1 They sell Mother’s beer here in Lawrence as of about last June. Decent.
-
Better lock em down for 20 fellas
-
Very seldom do great college players carry over great first half stats to the second half. OU is living off Heild. OU is living off borrowed time.
-
@BeddieKU23 My problem and most others feel the same way, the ref who called it was behind the OU player and couldn’t possibly see what happened.
-
Crowd seems fired up.
-
I like where we are at.
Down a few points at half… Self all worked up in a tizzy.
I like our chances down the stretch. We should have more energy. We have a deeper bench and all we really need to do is stay close and clamp down in the last 5 minutes of the game.
Our transition defense was good until the later part of the half. Need to shore that up because OU burned us big time when we stopped getting back, especially on Buddy.
I’m looking for a very energetic Kansas team the second half. We didn’t seem to have much energy in that first half, but the comparison was against OU and their high energy. They wanted to come in and not fall behind so far like they did last year. The problem with that is they spent a lot of energy in that first half.
Energy should be the difference in this game and we should have more of it than OU the second half… but that is just prediction.
-
Refs didn’t call a bad game at all IMHO.
They blew the call on Frank, but that was meaningless till Self blew up.
Lon is really matching Bill move for move and coming up with stuff ahead of Self; that’s why Self lost it!
Frustration.
-
@brooksmd Exactly. That call was purely to piss Self off, who was in his ear.
-
Lon better pass out football helmets because the ass whopping is coming.
-
Dang, Jamari.
-
Back to the basket ball is not OUR game.
-
Self coming back with action. Lon fooled him and spread it out.
Man, this is cool.
-
Oh
-
We seem tired or arelaying on the floor a lot while they’re running.
-
This is wrecking my Monday
-
Interior O and D. Our biggest downfall
