We good.
-
PHOF!
-
Yea the Frogs are a 1.5 pt favorite, but Bill hates to get swept. And that second half display Saturday was freakin scary good. I’ll take the good guys in tonight’s matchup.
-
I wonder if we do the same thing we did the 2nd half defensively against Baylor.
Put Juan on Miles and Kev on Miller. No switching from those two and deny them the ball. Make someone else beat you.

RANT INCOMING
Now that Saturday is over and we have to turn the page so quickly I put all my rage on ESPN today.
They knew scheduling Baylor at home in mid-February on a Saturday would have some significance. Two best teams in the conference for a while now. Easy TV ratings.
They knew TCU was going to be good returning their entire team. That’s why they got the Big Monday slot.
I believe they call this a “scheduled loss”.
Hopefully the momentum this team is riding is enough.

Just listening to the radio today while scrolling sites. - -Pretty nice National media starting to talk about Ku & even repeat as National Champs. - -A month or so back I would of had y doubts on that but man, I’m telling you at times they have shown flash’s of just insane crazy good - - gives me goose bumps when I see them play like that. Frustrating at times for sure, we can look so , so bad sometimes and then others - - - LOOK OUT -
Finding out that there just isn’t purely dominant team this Season . - -Why not us ? - -I think w got just as much chance as the next guy. The one thing w got and National people talking about , were playing in the Best league - -HANDS DOWN - -not even close , KU has 13 Quad 1 wins - - FRICKEN THIRTEEN , every game we play can be a quad 1 win. - -If and again If we win out in Conference would be SEVENTEEN QUAD ONE WINS - how insane is that ? - This league is a meat grinder night in & night out.
Tonight’s game is gonna be another. TCU Miles is back - -Lampkin is back - -it is going to be really rough. - The key tonight is , w have just got to take care of the ball no live turnovers. , Yet however and again being mentioned - I think it is a HUGE mistake if a team wants to get in a track meet with KU – you wanna run - -let’s run -there have been times Juan when we out and running just flat embarrassing guys crazy - -Turnovers is one thing but just rebounding the ball and go - -I’ll take my chances with KU.
Here is my guess -I’m gonna say I think we have gotten better since the last time we have played them - -were do pay back -I’m just gonna say when the smoke clears - KU wins by 7 - - I see we are a 1 1/2 point underdog

CJ Moore’s article in The Athletic quoted Self as saying they didn’t start the game they way they played in the second half, because he didn’t think they would have the energy to do it thee whole game. Thought that was interesting.
-
@Woodrow Interesting… Will be something to watch early then.
Just nice to know we have that up our sleeve if we need it in March too.
-
Little off topic but just curious , checked the rankings and see we are # 3. - -Just have a question & just curious -when we played Baylor Saturday we wre # 5 & Baylor was # 9 - -we beat them by 16 - -and they stay at # 9 - -Question is why didn’t they drop ? - - -get beat by 17 and you stay right where you were at - -just curious that’s all
-
I think for this game it will help that we got our ass kicked in AFH the first time in that it will make our players take the game more seriously. TCU is 24th this week in the AP Poll but I think they are a lot better than that with a healthy Miles and Lampkin.
If we can get this game tonight, it gives us a very good chance to at least split for a B12 title. After this, we have vs West Virginia, vs Texas Tech, and at Texas. Texas has vs Iowa St, at Baylor, at TCU, and vs Kansas.

Best thread title of all time.

Two players on bad wheels. Self was so confident we’d win, he chose to let them rest a bit first half. Not sure we can afford to do that with TCU.

@BShark We good!

The one thing is , if we can play Defense like we did in the 2nd half - - take care of the ball will help a lot. TCU is a terrible shooting team their % is not good. - -Take care of the ball defend tough and should be able to get big important win

Gotta say I’m nervous for the same reason. Just a BRUTAL turn around. Just keep trying to tell myself that TCU is on a quick turnaround too.
This team’s success is all about energy. They have the motivation for it after getting embarrassed at home but it is not an unlimited resource you can tap into whenever you want. Definitely expended a good amount of energy I. That second half on Saturday.
Winning this game would give me extreme confidence that this team will get to the second weekend. (I’m already pretty confident)
-
Juan must slow down Miles.
I hope team is fired up and has enough in the tank after Saturday’s tough and emotional comeback.
-
I’m gambling on KU all but securing the B12 tonight and taking an alt line -1 for +120
-
I bet we get blessed with Frannie tonight. -I think I’ll just turn the volume down and listen to Hanni - -not a favorite but still prefer him over Frannie
-
Their bench is what killed us in the first game. Believe Miles only had 9, we will start off switching everything I bet.
-
CS knows we can’t go 40 playing defense like that. And as usual he is correct. It won’t happen. But… if you watch closely you’ll notice that we don’t actually have to. Middle 10 of the first half and first or middle 10 of the second half will be enough. If… They can do it for 20 against a great team. And break it up somewhat like that. We’re golden.
-
I feel good about tonight. Let’s make it happen.
-
Kinda stoked for this game. And I definitely know not to get too discouraged if we fall behind in the first half!
-
I know we’re all excited but I’m still slightly skeptical. We got trounced for a half on Saturday. Certainly the 2nd half was breathtaking but it seems like this great team of ours still has some trouble putting together two solid halves of basketball. Some of the ESPN wants a big Monday upset scenario plays in the back of my mind as well, and of course TCU embarrassed us in our house a month ago and I’m still really taking a show me approach to 2022-23 version of the Jayhawks.

LFG

Let’s get it
-
Gut says we drop this one but never doubt Self’s ability to win late in the year.
-
God I hate this court
-
Ugh fran
-
whelp, turning the volume down again
-
Fran smh
-
It saves lives
-
@BeddieKU23 only thing worse would be Higgins ️️️
-
My dog can’t stand Fran’s voice either
-
Please don’t do that to us
-
Bill looks tight. Not a good omen. Snap out of it!!! Lol
-
-
Lid on hoop
-
three shots rolling off the rim
-
still tied
-
Might be the first 0-0 game in history
-
Boom
-
correction, first 3-0 game in history
-
Gradey finally
-
Looks like CS elected to not switch to start. See how long we can do that. Missing baskets won’t help
-
good thing we brought Gradey on the trip
-
Gradey 5. Frogs 0. Lol
-
Good Kev
-
TCU has the least knowledgeable fans in the B12 about BB. And that’s saying something with ISU fans in the running. Just boo everything
-
gradey Is going to be such a good nba player
