KU vs Tech Game Thread
-
I mean, sure complain about the missed foul on the last play, but we shot 4 free throws to their 12 overall.
-
Looked like Pop Isaacs put his right elbow out to push KU away. Good no call after Isaacs fell.
-
Nobody should be shocked by the officiating. Whenever Higgins does a KU road game, it’s always close.
-
great win. we lost at their place last year.
-
hey TECH…29-1…
-
@Gorilla72 on Bobby?
-
Well you know all werre gonna hear is how once again the Refs won the game for us. - -Whaaaa -we got mugged all night , but you can take it to the bank we gonna hear how Tech got screwed
-
What was the missed foul on KU? Wilson getting pushed?
-
Just got out of work, am I seeing this correctly?Harris 5-5 from 3?!?!
-
@DanR pop shoved bobby
-
@Eric-san you need to watch it
-
@DanR allegedly a hook on Jalen. Which conveniently leaves out the obvious and one on the KJ dunk
-
The better team played better and won. The End

Refs let a lot of stuff go. Marine basketball.
All game long was just a mugging - -A lot of missed calls both ways
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - looked like Isaacs put his elbow on KU player to create an advantage, but ended up losing his balance and falling. Dunno if it was Bobby or not. I did see the KU player on the floor in pain.
-
@approxinfinity better than them +3. Lol
-
@Gorilla72 it was Bobby that fell on that

Fran sucks he’s a turd. Big dude just flat out fell JW backed up. Ever since fran went off while calling our game about Scott Drew’s AFH homer tape…Fran hasn’t stopped talking about calls.
We got jobbed until the very end and he wasn’t saying a word. Fran sucks as a non bias announcer he is just awful.
Herbstreit is not biased, same for Desmond Howard. Fran is a child behind the mic
-
Well beginning to think K State might be good

Fran has always sucked - - I get so tired of listening to him whine --just really sad

Kj was fouled on his dunk, look at the espn pic
-
KJ was fouled. Batcho was probably fouled but he’s a 57% FT shooter and at worst we have the ball down 1.
Tech had 6 fouls the entire game and we shot 4 FTs. I don’t feel bad about this win.

KSU beats UT in Austin 116-103. Shot 61 percent from the field. Yow !

@RockChalkinTexas tmrw my oldest son in Lawrence is having surgery, blew out his patellar tendon. Dr. Randall is doing it.

I really like how Self is using KJ, even tho it has been out of necessity this year. We are so mobile and fast at all positions that unless the other team has a very mobile 5 man, it’s really difficult to cover KJ. Especially now that he has shown really good passing and shot making from the mid range area, the other team has to cover all 5 spots all over the floor. My dream would be if KJ develops even more of an outside shot over the course of conference play. Not sure if that’ll happen but it’d almost make the offense unguardable.
-
@HawkChamp I firmly believe that KJ will make 20-50 threes next season. I don’t think he will even take more than 2 from now until the end of this season.
-
A roadie! I’ll take it!
Some highs and lows tonight for sure, but mostly highs.
Great to see Bobby make the most of his minutes.
And KJ, wow!
-
To many unforced TO’s. Bad passes.

I’m still on Christmas break so I drove up to Madison to watch the Badgers. Watched game when I got home at 1AM. Looked at Instagram not expecting to see KU score. I did see the 1st half and first 5 minutes of 2nd. Once I found out final score, I didn’t want to take time to watch the rest especially with us melting down a bit. Glad to see a win at TTech. A tough place to play for a decade or more now. Terrific win for the nations best.
Just watched the ending. Another controversial ending with Jalen fouling the guy on tech before the spectacular Adams dunk. But not our fault the refs miss a call.
Speaking of Adams, what a game! He’s really improving, gaining confidence, passing well, and cementing his place in the lineup. He’ll be in beast mode by the time he’s a senior.
But goodness, what a game by Dajuan!! Didn’t see every moment but knocking down big shot after big shot in the 1st half.
1 loss going into 2nd week of January is probably a little better than I expected by this point.
-
Just finished watching the game. That was entertaining with all that offense on both sides!
I’ll go ahead and say it. KJ Adams progression this season is almost Embiid-esque. Completely blew away any expectations I had of him.

Speaking of Wisconsin, did you see what that punk Hunter Dickinson said about you guys? https://twitter.com/Evan_Flood/status/1610314942640439296

@Crimsonorblue22 He’s in GREAT hands then. I
and thinking good things for your son. Let us know how it goes.
See you all Saturday for the ‘running of the bulls’ annual mauling.

@Crimsonorblue22 I sent a text Dr. Randall’s wife and this is what she wrote back!!
“I am copying this text for Jeff to read… It will make his day! So great to hear from you! Rock chalk!”

@Jethro Of course! He’s right, I’m a scumbag!

@BShark add Fran and Scott drew in there!

This team is special. Reflecting on the game last night it’s amazing how well they play together.
KJ Adams is a dude. His improvement is astonishing. 7 straight games 10+ points. He’s on his way to great things.
Juan, what else is there to say about this stone-cold assassin. 5-5 from 3 and straight up daggers, like he knew what he was doing on some of them. His shot has looked great the last two games.
Bobby P, awesome game from him off the bench. Did anyone realize he’s shooting 70% from the field this year?? Made a 3 (looks ugly but went in) but its his ability to get to the rim that’s really impressive as the backup PG. He hunts those lanes and cashes in. 6 dimes as well last night. Bobby stepped up in a big way.
Real proud of this team right now
-
Tech has a really good atmosphere. I’ll take their fans anyday over cryclones.
-
Read through comments just now. Most disagreed with Fran saying Tech should have received a call in the seconds before the KJ dunk. The kid tripped on his own. I watched it over and over again, but Wilson totally had his arms wrapped around the Tech guy who fell backwards. Looked like a foul to me. I know Fran annoys us, but when he’s right, I hate to say it, but we should acknowledge it!

We’ve got some real tear jerking going on this morning. No comment on Kev having his leg grabbed while trying to shoot, or KJ being cut under on his dunk, though. Wonder why that slipped their minds? Could it be the ESPN created “narrative” is taking hold?
-
@Jethro I’ve never minded Michigan in the BIG. Dickinson made a stupid comment I acknowledge and I suppose Wisconsin will use it for motivation.
-
@wissox It was consistent with how the game was called. Could have been many, many more fouls if it was tightly officiated.
-
@BShark Thanks. Since I watched much of the game on fast forward maybe I shouldn’t comment on officiating but that last sequence…KJ got creamed too on his dunk
-
@wissox Just go back a couple of possessions and watch KU get fouled 4-5 times. They swallowed the whistle most of the game. (Tech had 1 first half foul)
-
Tech had averaged 15 fouls per game coming into the KU game. They had 6 TOTAL. Crazy
-
Kevin got robbed of a charge, ref even started the motion of calling it! On Pop’s last drive which ended up with him and bobby on the floor he stuck his Rt forearm into bobby which caused them both to fall. I think Wilson’s man was trying to clear Wilson out for Pop. JMO.
-
@BShark I remember you saying this summer you’d be stunned if KJ averaged anywhere near my projections of 8-12 pts 5-7 rbs a game early on in the season. He’s ahead of schedule and will raise his average points total to 11-12 a game by the end of conference play. He always passed the eye test in my book. Starting to feel comfortable scoring in that 10-15 foot range which will open things up even more for cutters he’s been finding so easily. His passing out of pick and rolls and at the free throw line are a thing of beauty. He’s always looking for Gradey on those back cuts when his defender is sleeping. Even with his size disadvantage, he’s still able to seal his man 8ft from the basket to receive those beautiful lobs from Harris

I think we’re all shocked about KJ’s production and numbers.
