In other Basketball games, I finally got to go watch my neighbor across the street play tonight in middle school. Been shooting with him for the last few years. He had 35 points and 2 dunks in one half. Didn’t play in the second.
-
@kjayhawks I hope you acted as a KU coach in proxy and offered him on the spot. Junior High and dunking?
-
@kjayhawks and you called Bill Self and told him to get his butt to wherever you are…
-
@wissox @nuleafjhawk he’s already 6’1 with a 6’3 wing span. I told him if he’s keeps working he’ll be a college player for sure. Hard to tell how good he really is against the small time school in our league but his dad is 6’6. He hasn’t beat me yet but last time we played (I won by 1) he’s not strong yet but he probably gonna spank me any day now lol. I always joke with him a lot but told him tonight he’s a better ball player right now than I ever was.
-
Wow is Morehead State better than us? They’ve led IU nearly all game by 10 or so, despite IU receiving a generous whistle all night. In the short time I’ve typed this IU has cut it down to 2 aided of course by and an 1 that was suspicious.
-
@wissox I hate watching foul mismatches like this. It just seems obvious that refs in situations like this will call it one way. We get some like that too at AFH of course, but it’s kind of unfair to watch a team just get screwed over by the zebras. 25-12 foul count right now.
-
@wissox Indiana has bricked a lot of Fts and still could lose because of it. They’re 16-28. Even though Indy losing this hurts our strength of schedule and all that I think it’d be hilarious to see them lose to a team that’s never beat a BIG team.

It was pretty bad tonight in Bloomington. KU really hasn’t had anything like that yet this year.
Some interesting stats here. If only we got a whistle like North Carolina!
-
@BShark Thanks! My math weakness makes it hard to really grasp those numbers, but it seems the privilege of rich and powerful affects whistles, except how did Xavier, AM, Iowa and MissSt get in there?
-
Marquette struggling with Providence tonight. Both 9-2 coming in. Marquette down 14 at the under 8 timeout.
-
Marquette loses to Providence by 15. Had 2-3 players out that normally play.
-
@Gorilla72 Providence owns the state of Wisconsin!
-
@wissox Here’s how much Marquette ranks to me, I had zero idea it was in Wisconsin.
I mean no malice toward you, only Marquette.

Spot on , like who cares Marq means squat lol
-
@dylans There’s a pretty good rivalry in basketball between them and Wisconsin. They’re looked at as the uppity snobs and UW the farm boy school.

No wonder Shaka fits in at Marquette so wll
-
The love announcers have for Duke is nauseating.
-
-
Even though Baylor got blistered by Michigan St - still think they really solid. -patoh3 , Bilas is a Duke grad/former player, you probably knew that but man is a whining little B,–almost every time Duke come down the floor - - -lot of contact - - lot of contact. I know what you mean
-
MIST shot 67% from deep.
-
I don’t think Bilas is bad at all. Have never minded listening to him. Knowledgeable, professional.
-
Good slate of games tonight. OU/UNC, of course the Baylor game, Nova/Creighton, Bama/Zona, Northwestern/AzState.
-
Seton Hall beat UConn by 15 tonight.
-

bad tonight his favoritism was very obvious. most of the time ok but not tonight
-
@jayballer67 I generally like Bilas, but he’s a Dukie and it shows through from time to time.
-
Confirmation bias.
-
Bad night to be ranked Big East team as Villanova also knocked off Creighton tonight.
Oklahoma is no longer undefeated after losing to UNC.
There are now only 3 undefeated teams left in CBB. Houston, James Madison, and Ole Miss.
-
And Seton Hall beating UConn, Radford beating WV, these pre-holiday upsets should be a warning to our guys. That Temple beat down years ago still stings, so I hope KU doesn’t take Yale lightly.
-
@stoptheflop Bill gave Furphy the night off, so I don’t think the team exactly has this one circled. Definitely could be a trap game in the Christmas lul (asu comes to mind), but I don’t think this team tolerates losing. They seem to hate losing more than they love winning - a good thing in my book.
-
@dylans - I’m really glad KU isn’t playing the standard road game just before Christmas. Seems like KU has lost several against lesser teams.
IIRC, the team could play for player’s flights to home towns after such a road game. I suppose with the advent of NIL money, it’s no longer a big deal.
-
Watching TCU vs Old Dominion in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic. Udeh is again getting significant playing time.
-
@Gorilla72 Is Udeh doing anything with his time tonight? His season averages are not great.
-
@dylans - 6pts, 4 rebounds 2 assists in 17 min. Looked slow and was beat offf the dribble several times when forced to guard outside. Dixon keeps starting him although his backup looks pretty good. And O’Bannon had 25 off the bench.
-
I suspect that that was the deal promised to him and his mentor to start, but did not specify the majority of minutes. Dixon is upholding his part of the agreement. He is the starter with the least amount of minutes on the team.
-
Zuby Ejiofor at St John’s is not starting but getting almost 11 minutes per game. Averaging 4.0 pts, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Also, 2 fouls and 0.7 turnovers per game.
-
Some guy on Maryland had a line of 0 points, 0 boards, 0 blocks, you get the idea, and 5 fouls.
-
I honestly wish one of them stayed but I got ridiculed pretty hard on here for saying neither one was ready to be a major contributor at a power school. Looking like a very true statement, tho I think they both will be good players by the time they are thru.
-
@kjayhawks would they if they never see any time but mop up mins? Hunter could stay. I don’t think they improve if they don’t get valuable time and I wanted to see them developed.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think they would get 10-12 minutes a game, Braun probably wouldnt be here tho.
-
@kjayhawks hey did you know the ag teacher that died from your school? So sad!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not personally but yes very sad deal
-
@kjayhawks so young! So many deadly wrecks on that rd. I take that way to Lawrence.
-
FAU and Arizona coming down to the wire in Vegas.

Going to OT tied at 73 after FAU tied it with 7 seconds left.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Been out all day for family matters and just got home, looked at ESPN for scores and saw that. Shocker, but of course I’m still trying to get used to the idea of them being a national power in basketball. In a strange kind of way this validates their run to the FF last year.
-
Watching that FAU vs Arizona game, man we just look so unathletic compared to top teams right now.

ya I’ve thought the same. Even though Arizona got beat I think they would give us ALL kinds of trouble,-- I also think Kentucky is really improves, gonna be if not close to thee now gotten a lot better, just quick athletic - -Another team that if we played now would give us fits - - -Deep bench, of course anybody has a deep bench compared to us lol… Still like our group though , just afraid gonna get really wore down later.
-
Haha, just saw that Arizona lost again.
-
@wissox love how everyone just thinks they are going to come in here and dominate us and the conference next season.
