@jayballer67 I’m now calling them…“the crop judgers”.
You can laugh all you want, but I would love to employ those kids! They have a very bright future. Some of the hardest working students on campus - that team is by invite only and it’s your schooling that gets you noticed not your athletic profile. ie these kids will be positive difference makers. Future heads of industry.
You should visit the Manhattan bar scene for an evening. It will give all kinds of actual ammo to use. That’s one of the most racist places I’ve had the misfortune of visiting. I honestly had no idea folks openly acted like that in public.

They might put Kevin on johnson?
I don’t think we need to do anything special against KSU. Just our regular ball pressure should be enough. They don’t play defense.
I think we win both games.

@BeddieKU23 What a beastly conference…
Probably not as “talented” as the 2005-2008 B12, but there are absolutely no nights off.

Lol Kentucky and KSU

@BShark What I thought was really funny was the picture of him in the half empty stands.

Updated Big-12 Standings.
The next 2 games are absolutely pivotal.
-
What do fans think about KSU. Are they legit or an aberration.
-
We’ll find out Tuesday.
They have two 1st team All Big-12 caliber players at PG and Wing. I’m stunned at the pieces around them playing at the level they have.
They have an inflated record from a weak non-conference slate, but they are going to be tough to beat. They match up well with us.
-
@AsadZ They are Dusty Dinkleman
-
@BeddieKU23 both ksu and isu have played harder big 12 schedules so far and been impressive.
Our schedule has been the easiest of the 4-0 teams.

there is no questioned they are legit

We’ll see, I think their depth is suspect as we go forward into conference play. They have 3 good starters and 2 average guys around them. Their bench is solid because they have 2 guys coming off the bench that were starters previously. Nothing spectacular but they get enough from those guys.
In this hot start in conference play they have been so reliant on scoring from Nowell & Johnson, both that at times have played at a level I don’t think is sustainable. We’ll see. They are good but I’m just not sold.

Agree - -not just yet. - going to be some interesting match ups in this game - -You think possibly they put Kevin on Johnson ? - -similar hghts aren’t they ? - Juan on Nowell.
They have 3 good starters we have 3-4 pretty god starters. - our depth is suspect, - our bench of Bobby - - Joe - - MJ to a lesser degree ( we just haven’t really gotten a good feel for him cause he is always hurt in one way or another ) & then our bigs - -kind of a hodge podge hee - -I guess you would have to say depends on the situation - so Clemence - Or Zuby - -so i think we offset there because there to I think we can gt just enough nothing special but I guess ok i guess -going to be interesting. - That place will be nuts - but we have vetrans that have been there before.
Another thing is I know sounds crazy but it just seems that this team doesn’t gt rattled- - e get behind - we don’t force/press just keep plugging along
-
Yeah with K-St playing 2 big’s primarily Kevin will likely get that assignment. Johnson doesn’t scare me as much as Nowell, his play of late has been out of this world. Last year we could not contain him at all on high ball screens and from what I’ve seen of him he’s even tougher to keep in front due to his quickness and athletic ability. Lately it’s been the 3 ball as well that’s been dropping for him at a high rate. Juan and Bobby really have their hands full.
The other important aspect of this game that KU will have to find a way to try and control is rebounding. Their 2 big’s seem to get a lot of those 50/50 balls off long misses etc that extend possessions.

I mean, do we ever really put anyone on a specific player? We just switch everything anyway so most teams can get whatever matchup they want. A player really has to go off for that style to change. Only special situational type stuff I’ve seen from this year’s team is doubling the post and maybe once or twice Juan wouldn’t switch when he was trying to clamp a specific guard.
That, to me, is what is pretty scary about how good this team could eventually be. They have so many more layers to explore.
-
K-St is looking really salty right now. I bet that game is a 1 point line either way. Will not be surprised if by tip off K-St is favored by a couple points. I watched some of their game against Oklahoma St and Nowell was pulling up from 30 feet and making threes. That is pretty tough to defend against. That game will come down to how well Harris can defend Nowell and how well Kevin can defend Johnson. If you can contain those two guys then KU will win. I think it is going to be one hell of a game.
-
Can Juan stay out of foul trouble guarding him?
-
Just want to mention that Tennessee so far is having the best rated D in the Kenpom era and it isn’t even close. Might not finish that way, but wow…
-
@Kcmatt7 that is interesting, impressive but still lots of games to be played of course.

Or how well they can defend Wilson - - Dick - - McCullar - -goes both ways

LOL Kentucky. Kick em out of the Blue Bloods club.
-
@Woodrow I think you are right, and if it really does come down to the DJ/Newell and Kev/Johnson matchups, I like our chances. Edge Jayhawks.

That’s an all time defense. Looked like it when we played them too, lol.

Huggy lost his top assistant, he was fired. Larry Harrison had been with him since 2007. Ouch. Sounds like it was admin decision

I dislike that loss, but I’m a big fan of Barnes… mostly because he’s a top-notch quality human being.
-
I’m psyched to see a quality KSU team again! They pretty much sucked under Weber and I’m glad he is gone! Tang is capable and welcome to help bring the Big 12 to a higher place. It’s good for all of us to have a legit purple kitty team!

Blue blood bleed out:
I laughed at the notion that Texas wants Calipari. Says everything.
I always thought the answer for Cal was to somehow name Drake an assistant coach. lol

Frank Mason playing for the Chiefs?
