Kevin is absolutely vital to this team’s success moving forward. I hope his sprain is minor. Hopefully it won’t aggravate into something worse.
If this team can be healthy moving forward… the sky is the limit!
Guys are starting to find their team identity (Self’s words)… and that identity is DEFENSE!
Look how much offense we had off our defense in Stillwater.
Offense tends to go hot and cold… but defense is a state of mind. If we play to this standard, no one can beat us!
-
@wissox just rank us number 1 the first week of April. Til then someone else can have the baggage
-
Interms of our old pal Squeak, Indiana is getting spanked like they stole something by Northwestern
-
@kjayhawks hoosiers had a meltdown leading to 4 technical FT’s which they drained. Steep price to pay over a missed travel call 10 minutes into a game.
-
Big 12 refs would have called at least 100 fouls in the Alabama/Tennessee game; every starter would have been forced to the bench by Big 12 refs. Wow, was that a physical game, especially on defense.
-
Still saying don’t sleep on the Hoosiers. Davis is the type of guy that can absolutely take over the tournament
-
KU gave out the book on how to guard him. Obviously easier said then done as well. He’s a heck of a player.

The thing is that these big 12 refs - also ref alot of these other Conference games, they are not restricted to on league – some work coast to coast almost every day of the week
-
yep… that was sick. Game was completely out of control. Just glad Barnes got the win!
-
When we play team defense… it works for many reasons. First off, we play to our strengths and we force our opponent to play out of their comfort zone. Prevent them from getting into a rhythm and the game is ours.
Also… it’s very hard for teams to prepare for a game with us when our defense is playing like a team. Very hard to reenact in practice!
One last thing… we need to put complete focus on our scoring off of defense. It’s what will create the separation for us moving forward.
I almost don’t even realize those runouts and treys off those breaks as separate from the defensive TO that created them. It’s so fluid… just seems like one play!
-
I’ve already been inner acting with Baylor fans and they already starting in about how we are favored by the Ref’s and you can take it to the bank that Baylor will have twice as many fouls called -when you play at the Phog the opposing team will have to play 5 -8.
I told them sure maybe home teams do get SOME questionable call -but that is everywhere for every home team including Baylor. I told them hell even when w are the visitor fans are saying we get all the calls. - I said really even we have 3 starters foul out and every - -T call seems to be going THE OTHER way ? The blue bloods might get that 50/50 call , that Questionable call every now and then – but ALL blue bloods seem to get that - -Duke , N Carolina , Kentucky , Gonzaga. . Sure the refs get caught up in the environment does it make it right? - - No , it doesn’t but it happens.
Bottom line is Winners just win - -and losers make ecuses
-
Purdue gets hammered again. I watched that game, and Maryland was faster and tougher. Purdue literally has no quickness, and they let teams get whatever they want. I hope they lose a few more, and end up as our 2 seed in our bracket.
-
@Jethro Purdue really had the gaudy record based on a weakened BIG this year I think.

@Jethro Be careful what you wish for. I want nothing to do with Purdue!

Gonzaga has 68 pts in the 1st half on 71% shooting vs LMU.
-
@Gorilla72 wow!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - LMU has only 28 pts. Tough to come out for the 2nd half…

For perspective, LMU beat St Mary’s a week ago.

The Tenn at Kentucky game at noon will help a little to kill time until our game. The drama between Kentucky fans, Calipari and this year’s team is fun to watch from a distance. Fun matchup and I don’t care who wins. Well, yes I’ll be rooting for Ten for sure.

Kentucky winning is better for KU’s seeding.

Huge game In Morgantown this morning. Everyone said Tech was forsure out of the NCAA conversation with 12 losses but WV sits with 11 currently. I feel like this a must win WV getting in the dance a win Tech makes me think they can still get an at large bid if other cards fall right.

I don’t think either team makes the dance. I think those two and OU miss out and Big 12 sends 7 to the NCAA Tournament.
-
Well Dog Doo looks like Kentucky gonna win today
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 It’s definitely trending that way currently but I’m not ready to stick a knife in both just yet. WV is 24th in the net, Tech 60th but Tech looks like a different team the last few weeks.

OU up 5 on Texas in the 2nd half.

Go figure that OU team–just kicked Alabama ass all over the floor now beating Texas - -and then lose they way they played to others
-
Dam Iowa St & K/State hacking it up gonna miss a lot of the 1st half because of these fools
-
Oklahoma just shart their pants
-
Wrestling match with Clones vs. Silo Tech. There are 5 fouls both ways every possession.
-
Oklahoma Texas overtime.
Sherfield hit a 3 to tie it
-
There’s a fantastic woman hoopster at Iowa named Caitlin Clark and through 8 BIG road games for Iowa those teams have averaged 4006 more fans for the games when Iowa and Caitlin come to town. That’s pretty remarkable!
-
Newsflash! Fran throws a frantrum and gets tossed. That guy is an embarrassment to Iowa, the BIG, the NCAA, the US of A, and to the entire world.
-
@wissox feel bad for his boys. Did the one come back? Man, tough!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, Patrick is back playing and then got T-d up about 5 minutes after they’d run Fran!
-
@wissox after his dad got tossed?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes indeed.
-
Shoulda said when Patrick was shooting FT’s after his dad got ejected the students were chanting, “Where’s your daddy?”. Classic college fans being college fans!
-
@wissox ewwww, rough!
-
@wissox does the conference ever punish Fran?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not sure he needs more punishment other than the ejections. He didn’t do anything suspendable. Of course half of the fans find it wildly amusing!
-
@wissox might lose his job or family.
-
Is this normal for him? Seems like he’s had a lot of these this year. I rarely pay attention to Iowa anyway, but man how can they put up with it?
Checks mental notes on Iowa. Correct me if I missed anything on Iowa.
Fran throws tantrums and gets kicked out of games.
Iowa can score but couldn’t defend me and you.
Iowa loses games they should win.
Another Murray leads them in scoring.
Pick them to lose early in the Tournament (they are good for it)
-
@BeddieKU23 We Badger fans developed the term Frantrum sometime in the last 10 years, so he’s been doing it a while. At least a sizeable minority defend him because off the court he’s apparently a really good guy. He raises a lot of money for local charities. It’s a little incongruous. I want my coaches to be good guys too, but I want my coaches to win more. It’d drive me nuts.
As you pointed out he can’t coach defense well. That’d drive me nuts too.
Thanks for the research on come backs and blown games. I’d commented on drgnslayrs post about us not giving up big leads. Turns out you did some research on that one too.
@Crimsonorblue22 I’ve not heard rumors of losing jobs or families. When his son took a leave for anxiety twitter enemies of Iowa blamed his dad. I pushed back on that one.
-
@wissox Correct me if I’m wrong as I know next to nothing of the situation, but the story was his dad caused the anxiety. That’s the internet story at the time. And it’s just speculation without a thing to back it up - also I don’t give a rip so I never looked into it.
-
@dylans Interesting, never heard that.
