Just what we all wanted in a scrimmage
-
So baseball tries to make games shorter and bball tries to make games longer?
-
Enjoy the urgency on that possession
-
Losing this would be a good outcome. Ranked 1 but need to get knocked down a bit
-
Perfect let’s get Kev hurt in a game that don’t count
-
Dislocate his hip?
-
Yeah lets not get hurt for this
-
Ridiculous
-
Man, I lost my feed. Is the game over?
-
Some sort of sciatic tweak maybe
-
see this is bull shit with these type of games. - -Exhibition game and you take risk of injury to one of your main players
-
Yeah that is not looking good
-
@Jayblaze 75-80 with :47 left
-
Getting our Aussie to play will be nice.
-
Already see but already knew our bench gonna be a major issue
-
At least we’ve got football.
-
Well that was fun
-
So we got a pg who doesn’t look to score
A 2 man who can’t shoot
A good 3
A 4 who can’t shoot or rebound
A 5 who runs his mouth but doesn’t back it up
No bench
Did I miss anything?

no didn’t miss to much - -EXCEPT ONE TINY THING - he did back it up - - I would say 22 points - - - -9 rebounds - - -& 2 blocks pretty decent game
-
So - NOT #1? I wasn’t able to watch the game. From the comments, HD is not the guy, KJ can’t screen it shoot, no one else stepped up and KU lost?

don’t pay attention to some of these comments. - - Hunter is going to be just fine. Like I said 22 points — 9 rebounds – and 2 blocks is a pretty solid game
-
Did KU lose an exhibition game to Illinois in 2022?
-
I’m not sure we can take a ton from this game, we didn’t look to be hustling for 3/4s of it and the officiating was very one sided. My biggest worry isn’t the starting 5 but the bench looks very bad. I’m not a 100% Braun or Timberlake are D1 Caliber of guys for sure ain’t power 5 guys. We will take some losses early in the season with our schedule that I’m very certain of. Hopefully guys develop but I think this teams best chance is slowing down the game and limiting possessions.

I believe so
-
Our offense while running no sets with Dajuan taking a nap on the court was fine btw

Thought Timberlake was fine. Bill was taking a nap, didn’t coach basically.

Unrealistic ranking for this bunch but that’s okay. The difference in the game was more or less because of where it was played. Big advantage for Illinois, their fans packed it in and supported them like the game meant something.
This game had a conference game feel to it and the other team made more plays. Ku got their best shot in an exhibition.
We played like a team that’s short a key player and that’s the reality we are faced with this season due to what happened.
-
Lots to complain about today, but who cares. Just an overhyped scrimmage, really really early in what is practice time.
So, not gonna sweat it.
The new guys need to learn how to play with each other. That’s all.
Well, OK, on the surface there seem to be other big issues too, but like a new fish tank, the inhabitants need to time to figure out the hierarchy.
Overall not an easy on the eye performance, but we need time to figure out how to get Hunter the ball in the right spots.
-
Timby is basically Moss. That’s fine. Will need to have three point looks manufactured for him against better comp which Bill will do when he’s actually coaching.
I seriously believe Bill is happy with this result. He let them flop around out there and he gets stuff on tape to grill them with.
@rockchalkjayhawk Agree, typical growing pains as guys get used to play together.
All things considered we looked fine and about what I would have expected playing another solid roster this early on. Maybe some people had really high expectations.
-
@BeddieKU23 this team looked much differently with Morris smh flipping idiot

we are short a player , actually short of a couple of players. - -Starting five is ok BUT no bench at all. - -This right now is not the number one ranked team in the Nation. - -Top 10 probably but not # 1
-
@jayballer67 not with how much he shot it…he wasn’t efficient and crowd was definitely in his head…he was rushing
-
I didn’t know there was a game…
Been watching the KU / OU game that I didn’t get to see yesterday. I’m enjoying it immensely!
-
@BeddieKU23 I think the issue is we don’t have guys who can go “get theirs” when they need to. Arkansas has guys who can make plays, other top teams as well. We had that with Jalen last year but we don’t have it this year.
Guards win in March and we don’t have the guards.

I was at lunch today in Savannah, wearing my KU logo polo shirt. A guy walking by said, “Hey, that was a great upset you guys pulled yesterday!”
I told him in 42 years since graduating, it was the first time any of my KU shirts evoked a football comment.
-
@mayjay ha thats great!
-
@mayjay My experience today was similar. I’d mentioned I’m in Zion and did a very popular trail today and got lots of nice game KU type comments. I kept thinking wow, this football is what people pay attention to. I missed one compliment however when I saw a guy in a Cubs shirt and I said “boo cubs”, and he said, well I was going to say good game yesterday, but not now!
-
Kev got whiplash from that collision and will be ok said Self.
Not even to real games yet and got lucky already

Yeah we really can’t afford injuries but especially Kevin. He was as advertised last night.
-
If he can play on Weds., then I would not call it whiplash. Whiplash can be debilitating and last for months.
-
Whatever it was he seems to be okay which is the main thing. Hopefully he’ll be okay moving forward.
-
Certainly flashed at times at a level we can get excited about. As always with him it’s going to be about consistency shooting the ball.
-
A night to reflect.
Overall Illinois played better & is currently further along. The crowd made an impact positively for them in a game that felt a lot more serious than an exhibition. Regardless this was probably the most real exhibition game KU has ever been a part of before a season starting. I hope the benefit to this was that is speeds up the development of this team for upcoming games. Better for find some warts now than when facing Kentucky etc.
Personally, I don’t like the makeup of this team and haven’t all off-season but I’m trying to stay optimistic and see how this team develops since Bill always figures it out. He’s certainly going to earn his paycheck this year
