Rock Chalk Talk from Lubbock
-
The capel guy really likes us! Who won player of game? I say Perry cause I picked him.
-
Frank… big threes and almost a double double
-
@tundrahok 4 pts, 3 rbs and 3 to’s in that 14 minutes is not good.
-
@DanR we sucked, but why?
-
Texas lost to TCU tonight and is 1-2 in the conference. Poor Shaka.
-
@DanR well darn it!
-
@tundrahok TCU gave UT a chance to win by missing all those late FT’s.
-
Gotta say I was much more excited to see Baylor win then I am 'bout this game
-
Frank, the Hawk to Rock, and ahem, from the first post in this thread, “I’m feeling good about Frank”. I shoulda bought one of those lotto tickets!
-
@tundrahok said:
@DCHawker And 2 boards and a block. But I would like to see Mick have another chance. He looked good in the first minute and had the first bucket of the game, but didn’t do much after that. Sitting should make him hungry,though.
Mick is getting the deep freeze after the first 4 1/2 minutes (shorter this time due to fouls I think)…did get a few more late in the first, but don’t think he saw the floor at all in the 2nd.
-
@brooksmd Yes, I only saw a few minutes but it looked even uglier than our game.
-
Wow Arizona going down
-
Not all games can be pretty. Happy to see Coach go to his bench. KU won a tough game on the road not even coming close to playing their best game.
Rock Chalk.
-
Rock Chalk. Good to have the win and build a little separation w/ISU. Cheick never made it back in. Wayne’s 3 was the dagger. Thanks Frank & Perry for your solid games
Chiefs and Hawks win!
-
Frank outrebounded C5
-
42% FG% and 41% 3Pt. 87.5% from FT
Not our best game but finished out strong.
-
@Bwag got halfs, big improvement!
-
Perry and frank w/post game interviews
-
@Bwag You’re right, Mick didn’t play at all second half. Neither did Diallo. Pretty hard to manage all those bodies when none really stands out. I think I’ll adopt @jaybate-1.0 's approach and just applaud the efforts of the Composite.
-
Perry complementing tt
-
Mama said there’d be days like this, there’d be days like this, my mama said.
Nite all, got church business to take care of before morning. ttfn

And 10 at that for a double double along with Perry doing the same.
-
Perry has come so far w/speaking in front of people and being comfortable
-
If I win power ball and we make it to Houston, I’ll rent a whole floor for KUBucketville!
-
@RockChalkinTexas We should have pooled our money to buy a bunch!
-
@wissoxfan83 First time I ever bought a ticket. Picked a few jersey numbers.
-
@RockChalkinTexas I’m taking all my bucket friends with me, all expenses paid. psst…You’re on the list.
-
@brooksmd Good Luck to us both. I know someone who bought $100 worth of tickets. Me, just filled out one card.
-
Coach said we shot poorly but made timely shots
-
Win pretty, win ugly, a win is win is a win…this is as much as I can say abut this game…and last year we probably lose this game.
-
A very famous Jayhawk said it best…nobody roots for Goliath…looks like the refs feel like they need to help any teams that plays KU…it is getting effin’ old.
For the younger posters, the famous Jayhawk was none other than Wilt Chamberlain
-
Anyone going to watch Mamadou/UC Irvine?
Can’t believe UT lost to TCU. Shaka is going to have some critics back home. He’ll find out what fickle fans are in Austin. He’s got them close to the bottom of the barrel.
-
@RockChalkinTexas they r saving their best game for us.
-
Shaka has been a disappointment so far. Anyone that though he would be implementing his full speed ahead brand of BBall is wondering what happened to it…
-
@JayHawkFanToo Hell he is running a Rick Barnes offense, not his kind. Do not understand it. He needs better players but if he doesn’t get wins will be hard to recruit.
-
Anybody here get the twc post game?
-
We won by 10, but TTU missed 10 free throws and shot 47%. That ugly game could have been scary if they’d hit their free throws.
-
Our 10 point margin came from 5 more FTM (on -3 FTA) and 5 more 3pt’s. Total FGA’s were even.
Not often can you count on your opponent shooting 47% from the FT line so give them a decent % from FT and we can’t count on hitting 87.5% from FT ourselves, and it’s a much closer game.
So in an off night shooting, 3 point shots really were our competitive advantage.
We had 22 3PA (same as last game). On the bright side, Self was scheming for some of those 3 pt attempts. Pretty sure I saw the swinging gate again this game. Was good to see that we didn’t back away from it when it was going so poorly.
-
@tundrahok I just posted nearly the same thing…
-
@Bwag did it seem to u that BG was hesitating to shoot, and he was open?
-
Not a pretty game, but not unexpected given how exhausted these guys were after Monday. Fortunately this dud of a performance came against a weaker Big 12 team. Every team will have 2-3 dud performances per season along with 2-3 games where they have great performances, that’s just reality.
Self did a nice job of subbing pretty frequently tonight and keeping fresh legs in as much as possible, but most of those guys still looked tired out there. Hopefully KU is fully recovered by Tuesday night because that game at WVU is going to be another mentally and physically taxing game with WVU’ pressure defense.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, Baylor winning in Ames is pretty cool. Danny Manning never won there as a player, so I always think any win there is impressive.
-
@RockChalkinTexas I doubled my chances by buying 4 versus my usual 2. lol
-
@wissoxfan83 said:
I’m feeling good about Frank tonight.
Bingo, you won
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah. He’s been getting praise for taking it to the hole. Don’t know if that was/had been encouraged by coaching staff. Now we all don’t want him to dribble (it can be a bit of an adventure) like the travel at top of key, or the ill-advised pass attempt to Landen “hands” Lucas in a clogged lane.
But his pair of 3’s were pretty.
-
@Bwag But what did I win?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 no TWC but I get Gurley & Bill postgame on 610 AM “Our Team. Our Town” radio…Yeah !!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Coach also had very some high praise for LL & his positioning on screens for the trifectas. Said quote’ “they were perfect.”
-
@wissoxfan83 You win a fur-lined lid for the pot…is 3 above right now here at home…wouldn’t mind one myself this morning…
-
@wissoxfan83 Bragging rights! First to pick Hawk to Rock
