What to Expect at the Champions Classic?
-
Just think how good Juan would be if he was actually good instead of being so bad. Where’s the idiot now?
-
@jayballer67 7 assists
-
How am I supposed to sleep after that. Damn
-
@mayjay I’m still here!
-
Harris gets on the national stage and kills it!!!
-
@wissox Never volunteer. But you aren’t eligible for this one.

Put the game on mute in the 2nd half. I got tired of Jay Bilas’ boot licking.
There hasn’t been a foul called that he wasn’t a fan of.
I had them down and listened to Hanni and Gurly most the game-- Bilas was ridiculous tonight -I think usually he is pretty good - -not tonight though
-
Was Bilas an ass clown tonite or what? I usually don’t mind him unless he’s covering Duke. Not so much today
-

oh ok , thanks buddy
-
@wissox Self and Harris won us this game
Harris was 5/5 and on fire
He turned it over like a freaking d2 player for a 6th year guard he was bad in that aspect
Bill’s lineups didn’t make sense as I’ve pointed out countless times (the second half ones)
How can McDowell not get any run but the last two minutes. He couldn’t have helped the team earlier?
Furphy guards and rebounds and D at least has to guard him on the perimeter…we come back and he sits for TIMBERLAKE no less
-
@jayhawks2010 only dude who could hit both besides Hunter
-
Bilas must be worried about a KU - Duke matchup

ummmm we won – - I think he ran REAL QUICK - he is constant sunshine
-
Kev playing with 4 fouls for last 6 minutes and not fouling out was big.
-
@BeddieKU23 THIS IS ALL IM ASKING FOR
GO BE FRANK AND ATTACK FOR LAYUPS OR DIMES
HIT OPEN THREES TEAMS DONT GUARD U
He determines how far we go
Turnover wise he was bad Juan BUT BOY DID HE PUT THE CAPE ON OFFENSIVELY AND COULDNT MISS!
-
@FarmerJayhawk U sure?
Self won’t play him next game cause that’s how he rolls.
Get random crunch time minutes and we don’t see him until early December against some bad school
-
We hit 6 three’s - where they come from ? - - Dejuan FIVE OF THEM - - Hunter the other - who would of thought - -Mccullar had none - – Timberlake didn’t have any - - Jackson zero – and we won - -Juan FIVE ! ! !
-
@approxinfinity This aged well.
-
Kj shooting needs work but man does he score the ball effortlessly around the hoop. He’s a dependable 3rd scorer and it’s pretty amazing how athletic he is.
-
@kuballin10 yep, he guards. That’s an auto play with Self. And we play Chaminade lol. It’s gonna be walk on time the last 8
-
Nick is highly unimpressive so far. But I’m hoping he finds his stride here… alla Remy Martin style
-
Gonna go dream jayhawk dreams…
-
Needs to see the ball go in.
-
Self’s ideal lineup is 5 Jimmy Butlers so McDowell has a good sporting chance
-
Really wish elmarko attacked the rim more
-
Anybody notice Self is much calmer?
-

Bad day for da BIG. Illinois loses, Wisconsin loses, Iowa loses, MSU loses, and its biggest star leads KU to a stirring victory.
Ouch… well played!
-
@FarmerJayhawk It wasn’t an auto play for 38 minutes though lol
Dude thinks Timberlake is better but than we claim self plays who can guard…which is it cause this doesn’t add uo
-
Well, heck. I’m overseas and 6 hours ahead. Lost a LOT of sleep tonight, but well worth it. Couldn’t watch so I’ll have to find it when we return!
-
@cragarhawk That ain’t happening brotha
Juan Furphy Kev Kj Hunter
Jamari Elmarko Braun
That should be the 8 with some Timberlake
-
Going to Rupp Rafters after Kentucky loses is like eating at McDonalds. It feels good going down but there’s incredible guilt and shame.
-
@kuballin10 well. I hear ya. But it’s a full season pass. And we get the ride. And honestly don’t know what’s happening and what isn’t til we see it or don’t. I’m willing to be surprised
-
@kuballin10 yeah it’s also November 14. Bill is giving Nick every chance to break out of his funk. Someone on this board once told me that the best scorers are the best players and Nicks career average is pretty high so idk maybe he’s giving that a go for awhile here
-
Kevin is the first triple dble at KU?
-
@rcjhdraft It’s what he does best but he isn’t confident in it right now and not playing freely
-
@FarmerJayhawk haha well played!
Nick can’t score at this level from what I’ve seen but if he was Reed Sheppard like or Cam Spencer I’d shut up
Spencer is the biggest whiff
-
Kevin’s first maybe
-
Check espn
-
@kuballin10 no and tbh I was more bearish on Nick than almost anyone. And bullish on Jamari. He’s going to do a lot of really good things here
The timing on Spencer was always going to be really tough. Went in late so we didn’t have a concrete role to offer. In retrospect we should’ve never taken Morris and gone after other options.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Withey in the tourney - points, boards & blocks
-
@FarmerJayhawk I was too so after watching this it’s clear he won’t be what I’d expected
Man that’s on Self and if we could have had Cam play the 2….geez hand us the title
-
@Crimsonorblue22 5th player with a triple double at KU. - Don’t forget Cole Aldrich in the tourney! I don’t think blocks were an official stat when Wilt played.
BH Born. And Maybe Collison.
ESPN knows less about KU than I do. JK Lol
-
-
Checked the box score, couldn’t believe we end up shooting the ball as well as we did right at 48 % for the game. — 22 assists - shot better from the three believe it or not, but they shot a lot more three’s also. shot well from the line. - just proud of the fight of these guys
-
What I love tho. CS having fun coaching this team. Even when we didn’t look good. He was smiling and enjoying himself. Soaking up the atmosphere. Letting the team find their identity to an extent. They need to be tested in pressure situations. Nobody knows this better than he
-
@kuballin10 impossible to say if that ever would’ve been a possibility but Morris was definitely a huge whiff. Ah well our 8 (will be 9) are what we have
-
Looks like we have three studs and a fourth very athletic dude (not to mention a HOF coach). If anyone on the bench emerges, we are a solid contender. If not, we will be vulnerable to top 25 teams.
The balance alone makes this team better than last year’s.
Maui will be interesting.
-
@tundrahok I think they meant assists instead of boards? They did say traditional triple dble.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Sorry, I thought you were asking if Kevin’s was the first triple-double by a KU player. Blocks didn’t become official stats until 1985, so Aldrich had the first certified triple-double by a KU player in 2009 (with apologies to Wilt and Born, at least). Withey’s was in 2012. Have we had any since then? I don’t remember any. Maybe Kevin is the first with assists? Pretty cool, regardless.
