@dylans said in Hog Wild Game Thread:
I’m glad Howard played hard the entire game. It wasn’t one of those blowouts where the other team quit. KU kicked their butts. Seen too many times where KU gets a big head after the other team quits, this isn’t the case. Kansas should be ready to play today. I’d be mildly surprised if it’s as close as the spread suggests.
I have no doubt KU will be more then ready to play today. All were hearing is Arkansas, Arkansas , Arkansas - like they are the only team playing today. Arkansas themselves may not be saying anything negative publicly about KU-but media acts ike this is over before the ball is thrown up - That in it’self should be some inspiration - Ku has some NBA players themselves - Arkansas doesn’t have the bigger dominat inside player over KJ all guys 6’7 - -6’8 gonna be physical - we have to be physical. - Not saying 100 % we win - But sure the hell not saying 100 % we gonna lose either, - Juan has to come out and play - be that key role we need
-
Anyone else in Kansas keep getting the hog wild pit barbecue song stuck in their heads lol
-
Nervous about today. Idk why. On paper we should take care of this. But not feeling good about it. Hoping the guys can calm my fears.
Lil perspective tho. No matter what happens we will still be the Reigning National Champions for a couple more weeks at the minimum
-
I don’t feel good about coach! Drs released him. Mind over matter. Said he did a lot of sitting at practice, he can do the same at the game. Maybe he’s done coaching, period, that worried. We really need him today. I’m bummed.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 ya it feels like the kind of game where the guys may need some “Self” motivation
-
@Crimsonorblue22 the rumor mill is rolling like crazy that he is retiring when this is done. I find it hard to believe he’d just up and retire after not being on the bench. I think if he was done, he’d be there with the team.
-
Certainly this sucks. Teams like Arkansas give Self difficulties in the tournament with their length and athletic abilities so it’s hard not to think it will be even more difficult for Norm to win this. I know it’s the players that ultimately have to make the plays but we all know the tremendous impact our coach has on a game and without him we are vulnerable.
Hoping our guys are just built different and overcome, adapt and play their hearts out. I can’t imagine Jalen is going to let us down, he’s been the ultimate competitor and I’m putting my faith in him rallying these guys to a big performance.
-
Pure speculation. But if CS is done. Any. chance its IARP/sanction related? Perhaps unfavorable news in that regard pushing a health retirement prior to an uglier situation. Wouldn’t think so because nobody involved into the corruption deal has gotten the proverbial hammer. But as I said. Speculation
-
@cragarhawk I would think that probably wouldn’t be case just because they are counting these games towards Selfs records and would want to keep the wins.
-
@kjayhawks terrible paranoid thoughts while waiting on this seemingly endless block of time till the tip.
Screw all this. We’re gonna a win today. CS back for next week and all is right
-
Now we get to hear Kellogg - -Barkley-all them idiots gonna talk about how they like Arkansas - really gonna defend Ku get down hill on his kill us on the boards- here we go ready ?
-
Everybody talk about Arkansas defense - -we can play a little defense ourselves
-
Might not be on much for this one.

Lots of people overreacting wow.
He is a week removed from invasive surgery. I don’t think he should coach next week if we win today.

Awesome Juan stat here.
-
I am too nervous but I have to respect Coach’s decision to take his health seriously and do what’s best. I am forever a fan of the team that is up with a real challenge and I am here to support them.

We know it will be physical, just like the Duke-Tennessee game. We can’t let that get into our heads and must start fast!
-
Wow Duke lost both halves, nice!

Coach Self interview clip
-
Hope the refs dont swallow their whistles if we get mugged
-
Ya I’d look for a highly physical game. We’re gonna holler at the TV some. Lol
-
We just gotta hope they have trouble they struggle shooting the ball tody -and got to hit the board
-
I sure wish Self was coaching, his health be damned. Ater all, it would really help our team to worry about him every time they looked at the sideline.
Sorry, some people are just nucking futs!
-
Alright let’s get this W no matter what
-
@mayjay i thought you had cracked for a second.
-
let’s go, guys!
-
@approxinfinity I have, we all know. Just not that particularly comment!
-
This is fun. Little pressure really. Coach is out, we’re the defending champs, lots of picks showing Arkansas or whatever. I won’t be nervous til the last 30 seconds today.
-
butterflies
-
Our offensive rebounding is great! Which also means we missed a bunch of shots already.
-
20 seconds in and we have a steal I like it
-
Huge miss on that lob
-
Make that 2 steals
-
@kjayhawks Wide open, simple bounce pass would suffice.
-
JUANDO
-
Juando being aggressive. He has to do that today
-
Nice Jaun
-
We’re attacking the basket - keep that up…
-
Oh. I’m not sure they can guard us. Early, but Juan getting where he wants when he wants
-
KJ actually looks big out there
-
YES
-
Also if they want to take this awful long 2s all day we’ll win by 10
