Manhattan Jaspers, Who?
-
Named Manhattan College, but located in the Bronx. Fewer students, 3200 than my high school back when it was only Soph-Sr. Leading scorer Rouzan is 6’8", the rest of the starters are guards. The only other big is a freshman from China, 6’9". So, I’m curious how Dickinson will approach this game. Even Coach mentioned after the NC Central game that he thought Dickinson would have (should have?) played more in the post. I like that KU schedules these schools; I enjoy looking up the school and trying to figure out what’s a Jasper. I’m looking forward to AZ playing well against Duke, then watching our guys get better.
-
First half of Arizona Duke should be fun before the KU game starts.
With the post thing it’s tough cause KJ has been mostly playing in the post. We are essentially playing two bigs but Hunter is the 4 offensively. I think this is the way it has to be.
-
So I never knew there was another college in Manhattan, always just thought KState was there.

I would not want to get caught in the Bronx section of Manhattan KS.

OK, now that’s interesting: Dickinson plays the 4 on the offensive end and 5 on defense. Then, we should see more Parker Braun if he continues to play well and less KJ. But on the defensive end, KJ would seem to be the better defender at the 4. Oh my, what will our head coach ever do? Just as long as we f___ up Kentucky on Tuesday.
-
@stoptheflop That’s why he gets paid the big bucks and I’m watching on my couch. Very intriguing to watch this develop/unfold.
And yeah, Kentucky is the first REAL REAL game most likely. Should roll tonight.

Manhattan Christian college.

I like that switch, Hunter can clearly stretch the floor and be used in the high post for passing as well. Sets KJ up near the basket to use his athleticism and ability to finish at the rim easier, get’s him easy basket opportunities and keeps him from having to much outside his comfort zone.
-
@BShark do they still have guys out for awhile? Kentucky

KJ struggled in the paint during NC Central game. KJ was fed in the post and elected to lay it in. I yelled Dunk that Shit and I’m sure he heard me (I was sitting at home) because he shook his head after the make. Soon after, KJ was again fed in the post and missed the dunk. Tough game for him, but I look forward to better games from him and Parker.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I read on the Rupp Rafters that a poster expects their big guys to be out; the poster referred to 3, 7 footers being out, whoever they may be. Last game, Kentucky started Mitchel, 6’8" as their only big with 4 guards.
-
Yeah the missed dunk was odd for sure, Game 1 jitters perhaps. Need him to be consistent finishing down low which his numbers suggest he will, he shot 62% from the floor last year.
-
Is this going to be the game thread?
If so, I predict 94-68 KU. Harris with 15 points and only 5 assists. Hunter with 20/10. Rock Chalk!
-
We had a bird dog named JASPER. Great quail hunter and once caught a pheasant in his mouth as it was taking off.

I still wish KU would move the alumni seats so students were courtside opposite the TV halfcourt camera. Students bring energy. Gray hairs just bring gray hair. Duke’s seating as Cameron is the correct way to do it.

-
Hunter is so skilled
-
This is such a great passing team. It’ll make up for A LOT of shooting
-
@FarmerJayhawk might have a lot of assists again!
-
Will Juan score?
-
Hunter seems to understand how to defend and not foul.
-
@Zabudda not foul yes, defend, ?

He only averaged 2.3 fouls per 40 minutes last season. He definitely can play defense without fouling.
-
Did I confuse myself?
-
Well this is fun. Apparently if I get to a game stop the flop won’t like me sitting along the court with my gray hair!!!

Will he need to even take a shot tonight? The way they’re looking so far, he may not need to take a shot again tonight.
-
This team is insanely unselfish so far this season. Definitely a big Dejuan influence with that mentality.
-
@wissox Gray hairs pay for the players.
️
-
Oh my
-
@FarmerJayhawk that would be so fun!🥳
-
What’s wrong with KU’s offense? Why aren’t they shooting 70% like Monday night!?!?
-
Sky is falling
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 cooled off to 61% lol
-
Jeff Gueldner said in pregame that they needed to play like it’s Kensucky.
-
Hunter has his lucky shoes on again.

Kevin McCullar is our Scottie Pippen

I welcome you to the game, but I would like to see the alums sitting somewhere besides courtside. Don’t you like the energy the students bring at Cameron? I know it will never happen, but I just mention this preference once a year.
-
Yes, please zone an elite passing team
-
KJ is always ready to rumble.
-
@stoptheflop I was just joking really! Badger fans complain about the same and I do agree.
-
Fuuuuurph
-
Furphy is good good
-
Furphy with a lot of shades of dick
-
Why does Furphy look like the lead in every Disney Channel original movie from 1997
-
Furphy is a CB Dick hybrid and he looks like Keanu Reeves
-
Furphy is going to be Svi 2.0 in a few years book it
-
@kjayhawks where do I book it?
