@jayballer67 Jalen is a decent big.
-
@Kcmatt7 OK, I never watch Sportscenter so I’ll give you that. Hoping they get to our game soon.
-
Duke shot 32.3% and they have 5 mcd all Americans. Glad we only have 2

@BigBad said in Calamari Game Thread:
Small ball lineup is the best lineup but Dave/Mitch will have to play some to keep Jalen out of foul trouble. Unless we stay small and let Marcus guard a big.
WE JUST GOT TO HAVE dAVE AT SOME POINT - - GOT TO GET BETTER. - -WITH OUT A DECENT big - NO CHANCE AT A TITLE
Nova has won two titles without much of a “big”
-
Starting center Jalen Wilson.
-
Lmao we didn’t break 30% from the floor. 20-67 is 29.85%
-
Braun 6 offensive rebounds and 13 rebounds for the game
-
Badgers play Marquette Friday. Illinois-Baylor tomorrow night. Huggie/zags tomorrow. Hoops week smorgasbord.

I hope people don’t think Dave has come around if he has a big game against Washburn - - ummm no
-
This team has a lot of grit. CB, Jalen, Marcus, Harris, Ochai all very tough. Marcus playing sick, you can tell he wasn’t at his best, but still played big minutes and was okay. Give Bryce some more time, get Tyon healthy. Did Tristan even get in the game today?
-
Is Texas… good?
-
Remember ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Defense was superb both ways and while it leads to scoring droughts and missed shots, there’s a beauty to it and i long for the days of the top defense in the country type Bill Self team.

For like 8 seconds, I believe.
-
@wissox long for it?
Last years D was #2 kenpom in the country and ELITE.
-
@Kcmatt7 yes
-
@Kcmatt7 Was it that high? I didn’t realize! Maybe the piss poor D against Gonzaga had me longing for something I’d forgotten was so near.
-
@BShark not second half
-

Duke only shot 32 pct., Michigan State barely broke 40. Not exactly a shooter’s paradise tonight.
-
@wissox yep. Only 60 ppg allowed, good for 10th best in the country.
Doke was just a monster and then you had Dot and Garrett pestering
-
@FarmerJayhawk I think Tristan’s parting moment was not blocking out a guy on a FT who blew by him for an easy layup.
-
Well, off for a late snack. Nite all. RCJH !
-
We have 1 game on ESPN+
-
@wissox yup. That was almost a remote tossing one for me

Yeah the defense last year was insane. Second only to UVA only without their shitty pace of play. 6th lowest 2pg % and 3rd lowest overall fg% against in the country thanks to Udoka. Very few teams even cracked 70 against KU last year. Dayton in OT, Texas Tech in a close win, Oklahoma and Iowa State in blow outs.
-
I still don’t know how they call that a 3?
-
@FarmerJayhawk LOL, hope your TV’s ok, or did you throw it at the window or something!

DAJUAN MORE

@Crimsonorblue22 Seriously? That’s great! I didn’t want to spend the money this year, still annoys me a bunch that our AD would stoop to such a pitiful arrangement.
-
One coming up, forgot which one. Could be more I guess.
-
2 bench points.
-
Thanks for the heads up. Dec 3, Dec 5, and Dec 13 are on ESPN+/Big 12 Now. The big networks must not think Washburn, NDSU, and Tarleton State (??) would be big draws nationally.

Tarleton State! Billy Clyde!
-
@FarmerJayhawk Wow, I missed that news. Happened early COVID, when I had my head in the sand.
-
@tundrahok your head was really IN the sand too, huh?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Pretty much. Beer and Netflix got me through the first couple of months!

Marcus is so good, he did this while sick to boot.
-
Also saw that last Mintz “three” again. It was probably a two and he traveled lol. Twitter if great for anything is great for having clips of big plays up.

I didn’t realized just how big of a joke the technicals were…

The refs practiced social distancing from remembering how to officiate
-
Bill Self said those rims were “the tighest” that he has ever seen. MSU and Duke also shot like butt.

Here is the clip for Bill. Weak AF
-
They definitely had little give to them. Was not ideal conditions for either team
-
It was ugly, but is a win. Our D and heart showed.
-
Well I guess we can always look at this game this way I reckon. - -If we can play that ugly - - shoot under 30 % and to’s and STILL find a way to win. - -Can’t be a hater right ?
-
All the prima Donna refs are gonna t up coaches all season now that they can hear them.
-
we gonna enjoy Harris I believe for some time to come. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Forgot to start this from Game 1 but will try and remember going forward. PER’s again through 3 games
