This game just goes to show what we CAN DO. what were capable of when we click - and thats WITHOUT Christian
-
It was impressive. We don’t need Remy, team plays better without him. This is the first game without, take a good look.
-
I’m going to have to find a place to watch the post game interviews. Huggins is always fun to watch.
Rock Chalk everyone!

@benshawks08 you like him?
I liked him today. He hasn’t shown a whole lot prior to this game though admittedly his opportunities have been limited.
He’s definitely fast. Today he showed big time toughness. Still has a tendency to checkout for a couple minutes at a time with some nonchalant turnovers. Which isn’t a great trait to have coming off the bench. Today. He still made some mistakes but immediately made up for them with big hustle plays.
-
Total spank! Great confidence booster. Play like this every game and it would be tough to pick against us

Guys we might be good at this shooty hoops thing
we just might be

Big Mac took the stickum off his shoes and put it on his hands. Jumped like he was on a trampoline and no fumbled balls. Hope we see more like it.
-
@jayballer67 Perfect
-
JWill 7-7 on 2 point shots today…
-
Nice tribute at halftime…they honored the last surviving architect of Allen Field House. 96 and still hanging in there ! Glad he had a great game to watch.
-
@nwhawkfan good stuff.

That’s a 52 piece half against a top 20 defense.
that’s a nice piece of work - - Joe played I feel well backing Juan today
-
Anyone have eyes on Remy on the bench today? Was he engaged and cheering or just in attendance?
-
@jayballer67 but cb contributed!
-
-
@nwhawkfan he’s like 91?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 lol. I didn’t say CB didn’t contribute.
-

No doubt! He even took pretty good shots and had some nice drives. Just didn’t get a bunch to drop.
-
J Will? Where the hell have you been? Hope that you stick around.

They said 96 on the radio broadcast
-
@benshawks08 point blank misses a few times.

He did! Didn’t make a shot but did things well and at least held on to the ball and defended on a day when Bob didn’t have it.
-
Thanks, everyone. Very enjoyable. Have a great weekend! Go Chiefs!
-
@nwhawkfan crazy! Saw on Twitter him and his wife unveiling his blueprints. Never guess he’s that old!

Yeah but you gotta think over time most of those will fall.

@BShark yeah, he just needs to make his shots. We need to keep him on campus.
-
Best half of the year (first half not so great). Solid all around games by each of the starters - stat stuffer games. But, we need to get to the line more. And, until empty the bench time, we only had 3 point from non-starters, albeit some solid minutes from Yes and KJ.
-
Yes looked really good. His play should earn him more playing time.
-
@BShark He easily broke their pressure defense.

A lot of factors are leaving Bill little choice right now, so I think he will continue to play. Bobby clearly isn’t right yet after the injury plus covid.
-
Only two 1 loss teams left in B12
-
@Jethro oh no doubt. Good handles and passing. Great D. And he’s only a sophomore. I say yes to more Yes.

I wonder if the mental side of the abdominal strain has had time to really heal yet. Didn’t he hurt it, feel better, then reinjure it? That can really haunt the confidence in your own body.
-
@DCHawker I don’t think we’ve ever had a game with WVU where they weren’t ahead of us( other than today). Then they fold like a house of cards. It’s weird- we always kick their ass in the 2nd half everytime we play them.
-
@BShark Bobby had his problems today. Hope that he can shake the rust off. I really like his speed but it was sorely missing today
-
One thing that we can’t do? Deny a sophomore Joe playing time while hopefully banking on others. With Remy being injured(?) there is playing time available for all.
-
@Kcmatt7 Where do you get the +/- stats? Used to be on CBS site but can’t find one now!
-
@mayjay I use bleacher report for live ± stats.
Would trust sports reference more accurate ones after games though

Pettiford’s problems today were the same as ISU. He can’t handle high major D1 level pressure defense yet. Yesufu is probably the better play against teams that pressure more than Pettiford is, but Yesufu is also still an inconsistent player as we saw with his shooting today.
-
@Kcmatt7 Thanks!
-
I’m still pissed that refs call fouls without seeing a foul. Braun got robbed on the best defensive play in the game. All ball, but the ref had to call a foul because it was two guards in the paint. I’m sick of that.
-
The second half wasn’t the ceiling for this team, but it’s a lot closer to their potential. It was a good time to put things together.
Hopefully, this gives them confidence that they can deliver a knockout to almost anyone and they can work on consistency at or near that level.
-
@Kcmatt7 also on ku sports
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I hate that website. Functionality just sucks on it.
-
@Kcmatt7 doesn’t for me, which is odd for me!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Thx! I forgot about that one. They constantly have links to stories that are months and years old.
-
What a second half! Didn’t see that coming after that intense defensive effort in the first half.
For those saying we don’t need Remy…that’s ridiculous. we need Remy. He’s quick, athletic, and skilled. just hasn’t found his niche yet. I doubt any rumor of him leaving is founded in reality. And obviously what this team needs is for Dave to play, and to play well. (but more KJ!)
Plenty of negatives in the first half (Braun was horrendous, Petty couldn’t dribble), but far outweighed by the amazing second half effort.
And why couldn’t Braun just wipe out Huggy Bear when he bumped into him?
-
Cb ended up w/a + 23

@rockchalkjayhawk “And why couldn’t Braun just wipe out Huggy Bear when he bumped into him?”
Aw, just human nature to check out whether nicknames are true.
