Exhibition Game Tonight
-
@DanR probably a good attitude to have on the matter this early. I just laugh sometimes of the lack of basketball knowledge. Dickinson catches the ball with 2 or 3 guys on him and doesn’t get a shot up. Guards (except Kevin) no one within 8 feet of clank 18 footer, clank 3 pointer, repeat for for 2 games. Damn it Hunter do something lmao.
-
Hopefully Timberlake remembers how to make baskets at some point. Yikeys
-
@BeddieKU23 could just jitters playing at this level, surely he’ll settle in
-
If Furphy stays healthy he will play more than Nick this year.
-
Good plan to force some stuff into HD.
Make him work
-
Sweet pass
-
Harris with the nasty dime to kev
-
Going to the game Monday. Will be fun to see the new guys in person!
-
Coach mentioned some time back that maybe find a mid year transfer in the Portal - -I sure the hell hope so. Someone that can shoot and make a three
-
New kid on the block finally nailed one
-
This post is deleted!
-
Wrong boy band…. Timberkake finally NSYNC
-
Does anyone have a link to a live box score?
-
That was ugly. - - -6-28 from the three. - how many mid range jumpers did we make ? - -or shoot ? - - right now if e don’t get a lay up or free throw were in trouble. How many times did we get beat on straight line drives to the basket for lay ups by Fort Hays St ? - - -Mercy.–no that was impressive by far --LOT’S OF WORK
-
-
@BShark Furphy and Elmarko will be playing better and more by the first of the year.
-
First ten minutes or so were real then we experimented/coasted. Second half was almost all bizarre line-ups and the walk-ons played a lot. No one got hurt. I am happy.
-
I don’t see the furphy love. He’s pretty slow and awkward moving laterally. He Doesnt look like he has a driving game at all. His shot form is fine…But man if you threw a fort hays state jersey on him and he played on the other side I don’t think he would catch anyones eye. Even if this is suppose to be like the next svi, he’s also way skinny and not D1 body ready for this year
-
McDowell has way more upside as a future ku guy from what I’ve seen
-
@jayhawks2010 if he was in high school he’d be a top 30. NBA has already got him on their radar.
-
I guess we will see

McDowell got his cardio in tonight just like Illinois. Just didn’t do much at all. He’s a small wing for us at this point.
-
Would agree Furphy has to get stronger. He has a great feel for the game and is loooong. Not this year but eventually he is a starter.
-
@tundrahok Thank you!
-
@jayhawks2010 He is also dealing with shin splints, which may be hindering his movement.
-
Watching the game now. Dickinson is so bad at defense. Fort Hayes look like cars blowing by a highway rest stop.
Offensive footwork is pretty good.
-
Legit question, is this team better then last years team? The bench isn’t better. Ok you get Dickinson but you lost an all American score in wilson. Grady gave you an nba level shooter. Harris is Harris. Adam’s and McCuller I guess are a hair better. Post scoring is significantly better but your post defense is crazy worse
-
@jayhawks2010 at least right now, i think we are worse. We have 2 3 point shooters, one being Hunter. We are going to get beaten routinely on 3s, rebounds and defense. We cant run with Hunter either and we dont have a shot blocker / plus rebounder to pair with Hunter.
These arent cohesive pieces at all right now.
-
@approxinfinity It seems that way. They couldn’t event get 80 points against fort hays state!
-
Didn’t watch. Reading from the comments it might be time to fire Bill Self it sounds like!?
-
These announcers are absolutely ridiculous with the Dickinson superlatives. This guy isnt Jokic, this guy is not a POY candidate. Its great to dream, I guess.
-
@jayhawks2010 Svi was scrawny as heck as a freshman as well. He’ll get there
-

Short simple Answer - - -NO
-
@approxinfinity the team as a whole hasn’t looked great defensively Juan and Kev have shown flashes but everyone is struggling to keep their man in front of them. This team lacks athleticism outside of Elmarko and KJ.
-
Man the negativity is crazy. There are concerns yes but I am not overly worried.
-
Ok this is the most engaged ive been thus far. 8 minutes to go first half, subbed out Hunter. Lineup of Furphy Mcdowell Harris KJ and Kevin

Nothing in the second half was real btw. Will never see any of that again.

Could have easily had that and more playing tight rotations but what’s the point of that against a D2 team?
-
@BShark sorry man. I just dont like Hunter and it bothers me that he is the focal point of our identity. Maybe i want him to fail a little so people stop identifying us as Hunters team.
-

Cmon! Didn’t you see the twin tower lineup with Hunter and Clemence at one point!
-
@approxinfinity he’s definitely a team guy
-
I want this to be Mccullars team.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk ha just got to it
-
@approxinfinity How about the HAM team? Harris, Adams, and McCullar.
And HD aka High-Def is really Lo-Fi.
-
I’m just finishing up the game as well. Halfway thru the second half.
My impression so far: hmmm. We got work to do.
Furphy with a second half start! I think he looks smooth-ish. Just young and dumb. But actually not that dumb. Looks like he fits in. His shooting form doesn’t look broke. That’s a good thing. And he’s way out of shape. Hard to judge his foot speed.
I’m still waiting to see something from Elmarko.
Oh jeez, we got walk ons in the game…
-
@BShark We don’t usually have trouble dropping 80 plus in any exhibition game playing a lose rotation. Last years team dropped over 90.
-
I think Mccullar has the highest ceiling to be the hero we need this season. I do think we have some depth that we would do well to develop and hope we continue to roll the young guys out a bit
-
Post game said Kevin reinjured his neck, couldn’t go long in 2nd half.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 fffffff
-
@approxinfinity but it’ll be fine, soft tissue injury.
