@kjayhawks There’s a real chance they go 0-18 at this point. Yesterday was by far their most winnable game against Vanderbilt. Their other two remaining winnable games against Arkansas and LSU are both road games so I wouldn’t be surprised if they run the table at this point.

There are things that are a shame, and other things that are a damned shame. Then there are things that make you just feel like Providence rewards the best and punishes the worst. Any guesses where U-Muzuh falls?

UNC with a letdown loss against Clemson

kjayhawks

@rcjhdraft yep that’s exactly why I said KU still had a one seed shot with a win last night. Clemson prob isn’t a tournament team and UNC lost to them at home.

Yeah makes me more pissed about this loss. Every time this team has had a 1 seed or the #1 ranking in front of them they blow it against garbage opposition

kjayhawks

@rcjhdraft I get mad everytime I think about. I’m starting to question our strength and conditioning if we are so tired all the time when other teams don’t seem to be. Bring Hudy back this soft

It’s inexplicable given the experience on this team to be this soft on the road

wissox

I get mad every time I think about it too. The dude threw the ball by himself out of bounds. Zebras somehow didn’t see it. The dude stepped in the lane before Kevin missed his FT. He at least had a chance to make good.

WVU. Refs call a clean steal a foul. Would’ve loved to have seen how that game turns out. No guarantee we win that one, but bad call almost assuredly takes away what would have been a tie.

ISU. Refs miss a travel and ISU makes a “dagger 3” as ESPN shouts. Well there’s maybe no dagger three, instead there’s KU with the ball and a chance to tie or even win at the buzzer.

3 losses in a row where strange bad calls all worked against us. Does that mean we’re still only smarting over a loss somehow to Central Florida? Probably not. Other things would have needed to happen for us to win all three of those but we’ll never know because the refs didn’t give us that chance in those situations.

wissox

Now both of my teams suck.

kjayhawks

@wissox Thats a bad bad loss there.

kjayhawks

So Auburn vs Alabama last night the teams combined to shoot 85, yes 85 free throws.

dylans

@kjayhawks f that game. Refs just need to swallow the whistle so we can bitch about missed calls, but at least the play on the court decided the game.

kjayhawks

@dylans I’d rather bitch about missed calls than calls that they just guessed on.

benshawks08

Counterpoint. They should call that many fouls every game until teams stop hacking on every trip down the floor.

kjayhawks

With UKs home loss today, that is 3 in a row in Rupp.

wissox

@kjayhawks Wow, basically since everyone fawned that they finally were getting Ivisic eligible as a 7’2" guy with guard like abilities and they’re going to be unstoppable now. We’d be in full meltdown here if we lost 3 home games in a row. Can’t remember ever losing 3 in a row in AFH. In 1988 we lost 3 of 6 there, and then avenged all three in the last 3 games of the Big Dance!

@wissox

I’m not sure Cal spends 3 minutes in practice on the other side of the ball. Boy they are Swiss cheesy

kjayhawks

@wissox I think the 2018 team lost 3 at home if I remember correctly but it definitely wasn’t in a row.

jayballer67

I guess I don’t know why I just can’t acknowledge that I guess Iowa State is just dam good. - - I kept saying they are not that good, all they do is go out and win.- -They don’t seem to have a lot of trouble on the road.- - Up 10 on Cincinnati tonight, ranked 10th in the Nation. pass the ball really well - -this sucks. - but got to give some credit where credit is do-- they are just good - -force turnovers - -shoot 39 % from the 3- -what can you say

BeddieKU23

@jayballer67

Part of what Self is alluding about in his post game presser is the physicality in the league being over the top this year and a big part of that is Iowa St and what the league has allowed them to get away with. I don’t blame Bill one bit for finally calling out the league on it

Texas Hawk 10

@BeddieKU23 It’s not just Iowa St. Most Big 12 games are starting to resemble the old Big East from 20 years ago with the physicality league wide.

BeddieKU23

@Texas-Hawk-10

I think specifically Iowa St is driving a lot of it this year but yes, in general the officiating has done nothing to stop it. They are consistently getting away with a level of physical play that I don’t think gets rewarded in the tournament.

bskeet

The officiating sucks this year. It’s way too selective. And the officials are inserting themselves on the game in weird ways – like instead of managing the physicality of the game, they are quick to give technicals for ticky tack stuff like coach disagreeing and throwing coaches out for stepping out of the box (Drew and Self). But again, it’s selective (focusing the two coaches that have won an NC?) because you can see some coaches all over the place.

Apparently this is what happens when Higgins is bumped up to the office. Boo.

Wow. Holtmann out at OSU. You don’t see midseason firings very often. Will be a highly sought after gig

OSU is atrocious this year. Never thought we’d see a season where them and Michigan are the bottom feeders of the Big 10, even in basketball. OSU is very similar to Texas in how they view basketball and while it’s definitely a good job, I don’t know I’d call it an elite job.

I’m also thinking Michigan will probably be open this year as well with how far they’ve sunk the past couple of seasons.

Iowa State just kicking the crap out of Tech - -up 21 - - Their Physical -Their dirty - - -but their good/legit

Gorilla72

I don’t understand how Houston is kicking tail every game. Is Sampson a great recruiter, finding those gems Self and teams miss? Is he a great motivator, every game? Does he have a better all around staff for recruiting and teaching? -Their defense is physical and fouls aren’t called. They generally hit shots when it counts, either through talent or coaching.

I was certain they would be an average team in the Big 12, but it turns out KU is the average team.

jayballer67

KU must win today to keep pace with bunch of other teams - -we win we be 1/2 game ahead of Tech , TCU ,if BYU wins they be there too.

kjayhawks

@jayballer67 KU lost their chance to win this conference blowing leads at UCF and KSU. I think we can get back on track today but we ain’t winning this conference. Need way too much help.

kjayhawks

TCU hits a late 3 to down KSUCK in Methattan, probably making the B12 tournament a must win for an NCAA tournament birth.

Nah , I wasn’t even talking about that - -winning the Conference - -I’m talking about keeping pace with Tech , TCU , Baylor, and possibly BYU

Kelvin Sampson is a very good basketball coach amd has been for 40+ years, that’s why. This is not his first go around in the Big 12. He did coach OU for 12 years and made 11 NCAA Tournaments and only finished outside the top 3 in the Big 8/12 twice, and never had a losing conference record. He also won a Big 12 regular season title, 3 tournament titles, and made a Final Four in 2002. The man has a career .684 winning percentage and is generally considered a top 5 active coach.

Connecticut is ripping Marquette.

DOWN GOES PURDUE. – Interim Coach’s first win against the # 2 team in the Nation

Crimsonorblue22

Good for him!

wissox

Scott Drew gets T-d up for stepping across the coaching box line, but watch this and no technical was called on Willard. Watch where his foot is when the ball comes up to him.
