ESPN+ Tip: change the channel when the game is over, or it will run the same commercials continuously.

We need a big man coach that played the position. Development hasn’t been the same for awhile.

Frosty! Nickname for Higgins

It was nice to get revenge on little brother, but for the KC/KU fans in the last 13 months or so - beat Duke, North Carolina, Villanova, Indiana, Kentucky, won a national championship, went to a bowl game, and the pro-football team is headed to the Super Bowl.
Next game.

Travis Kelce will never go to Bramlage to see them play.
-
Rock Chalk with :50 to go. I’ll take it. Absolutely awesome atmosphere tonite. Great win

That place is a dump. I don’t like walking in at the top. Vertigo city for me.

Tang needs to brush up on his basketball history. He just said KSU went to more final 4s than KU before 1988. 4 < 7.
-
In the post game presser Tang just said KSU led KU in final fours up until 1988. - fact check time - By 1987 KU had 7 final fours. KSU has 4 all time. Bill Self has 4 so far.
-
@tundrahok lol post overlap.
-
Really want someone to ask a dumb question of Juan. He’s so brutally honest it’s refreshing.
-
MJ was a no go, per Self
-
@BShark but he looks so bad in practice isn’t Bill shocked he’s somehow been manageable in a game?
-
Juan flat out stepped up. Nowell turned it over 5 times and didn’t shoot it well
Juan was a stud tonight that’s the guy we need night in and night out
-
Big 12 basketball is like SEC football. Only if there were no bad teams and everyone played each other…twice. Brutal. Amazing. Battle tested.
-
@kuballin10 Nowell got some points but super inefficient. Lots of bail out calls on drives. CLAMPS from Juan.
-
Well that was fun. Something came up so I couldn’t watch 2nd half. Sounds like a repeat of the first half. Lots of fouls. Worried me with our thin bench.
Saw some twitter talk about Higgins the other day. He worked a west coast game Sat night and then did a big ten game early Sunday afternoon. Maybe he’s not a bad ref but just tired.
-
Love what CS is doin with Juan. Take the ball out of his hands for spells to save his legs. Then use those legs to actually look to score. It’s giving the team a new dynamic I think we’re gonna enjoy the hell out of.
Bench was pretty great tonite overall. Can only hope these things go a long way over the last 9 weeks of the season here

Best play of the game?

Remarkable stat - JW, Gradey and McCullar made just 2 buckets inside the arc - 2-18! - and we win by 12…
-
@DCHawker KJ on the bench meant
action in the paint. Gonna need Udeh to be a more reliable backup.

And then we were +18 on the floor with Zach last night.
If we get this level of play from the backups most nights we are going to be tough to beat.
-
@Kcmatt7 Yeah, good point. KJ definitely impacted the game. Just trying to explain the overall low scoring from inside. This was his first game not to light it up in awhile.
-
@Jayblaze getting 16ish points from our big men has been about the right number all season when we are playing well.
KJ only got 4 in both of the losses to TCU and Baylor. So you’re right, when the bigs don’t score we definitely struggle. But last night we really did get about our season average, it just took a lot of guys to do it
-
@Kcmatt7 Who do you think you are, confronting me with FACTS! I think I’ll just carry on in my alternate reality, thanks.
-
I’m sure Bill got very excited when Zach finished through contact but yeah we don’t need much from our bigs. KJ did still almost get his average while being limited due to fouls and such. As few minutes as I can remember him playing in quite awhile. Probably since a non-con blowout if I had to guess. Most of our scoring and rebounding for that matter comes from the wings.
-
@Jethro I hope you’re not payton patterson because that post is pretty trollish.

Way to go Jayblaze. Keep posting so these other people have to go look up stuff. It gives them something to do. I say and post stuff all the time that I think might be right but I’m not certain. I just rely on others to figure out if I know anything at all. “You know nothing Stop the Flop.”

You’ll have to take that up with Elon, sir. I’m not the Twitter monitor.

This crap is just idiotic. - -I guess there is some K/State people talking crap on Travis Kelce cause he was at KU last night.- - One poster on their site says : - - Travis Kelce was at KU last night - -Remember that - -omg people Seriously. - -your dogging the guy for being at the game ? lmao
-
Big SHOUT-OUT to Zach and Ernest! Both offered big help and did it in different ways!
Thank you to “Mr. Double-Double” Kevin! 12 FTs! He battled hard to get to the line that much!
Thank you to the whole squad for controlling this game from the opening whistle!
-
I also follow assists. Juan was very low for him (2)… but we had JWil and Kevin with 4 a piece. Very good to see others sharing and not having to count so much for Juan to always feed the assists (he was busy scoring 18 points!).
-
@stoptheflop I basically consider everyone on this site my research assistant.
-
I thought Clemence had a nice game, his body language was also positive.
-
@AsadZ apparently i just needed to publicly indicate that i had written him off for him to turn it around and make me eat crow. Kids! Who can figure them out?
-
@approxinfinity Board Rats! Who can figure them out?
-
@approxinfinity I hope he sticks around. With J Wil, McCullar and possible Grady departing, I can see him being a valuable contributor next year. Based on wing situation, it is possible Self goes back to 3-2 next year.
-
@AsadZ i dont think we will ever go back to 3-2. But being able to shoot the 3 is everything there, i see your point.
-
@approxinfinity If KJ develops a decent outside game in the offseason, do you envision Self playing Clemence and KJ together consistently. It could be a hybrid 3-2.
-
@AsadZ No, based on what Bill’s said. We may in a small spurt for 1 random game here or there but starting lineups and major minutes no.
Bill has said he recruits the best players now and has changed recruiting from “hey we need a 4 or a 5 man” to “hey we need to recruit 4 guards, all who can shoot, 1 who is a true pg and 1 with some height” - jayhawk podcast I posted a week or so ago.
He’s gone full fledged 4 out 1 in like many have.
-
Our three 2023 recruits are a PG, CG and SG. They only differ by 1" or 5 pounds. The clone class.
-
@Zabudda exactly and all can shoot!
Need that 1 more guard who’s 6-7 to 6-9 and athletic whether jwill or Josh Jackson something
Kj and udeh/Zuby at the 5 plus maybe a transfer and we are set
I thin Gradey stays but even though he’s 6-8 he’s not able to guard a 4 man
