Other games 2024-2025



  • @wissox all I thought I knew about the Dook hype train was confirmed in 2018. We had just beaten Dook in OT to go to the final four. Front page of ESPN on MBB after had nothing on the game except at the very bottom. The main headline was Coach K beats Calipari at his own game and was an article about the class they had coming in next year. Zero about how Kansas just beat them to go to a final four.



  • @kjayhawks exactly as i remember it. At the very least, espn should be aware that you typically read KU stuff and show it to you, while nefariously neglecting to show KU victory coverage to impartial audiences. Maybe they’ve corrected that. But i doubt it.



  • @wissox ya all ESPN does is talk , Flagg , Flagg , Flagg - -don’t get me wrong , Cooper is special , no doubts about that- -BUY I mean ESPN come on , there other stories in basketball other then Cooper.

    Was watching the game last night and shocked as they were talking about Flagg and guess who they said had done the best job at limiting Flagg , slowing him down ?----- -KJ Adams



  • @approxinfinity @kjayhawks 3 times in KU’s glory years of later 80’s and early 90s we played Duke in the FF. My go to back then, especially when not living at KU was USA Today. Same thing. In 91 we beat UNC in the semifinals and the focus was Dean and Duke.



  • Not a game per se, but Mike Woodson is out at Indy. Every fan on twitter is yelling for Chris Beard. IDK, heck of a coach but goodness character issues abound. I wouldn’t want him for my team. I know the Texas thing was dropped, but still showed some lapses of judgment I think. Set me straight on him if I’m wrong.



  • Saw Zuby put the ball on the floor and take it to the rim in the second half against Sir Danny’s team. Should have been an and one, but since he’s over 6’5" and near the paint it’s a standard no call. Second leading scorer on #10 St John.



  • Nice, Zuby with the put back dunk and one. I can’t believe I find myself rooting for Pitino’s team. But, they are playing Hurley’s team, so there’s that.



  • Dam I wish we could of held on to Zuby. - How’s this for a stat line : - - -18 points- - - -9 rebounds— -6 assists-- – - & 3 blocks against Danny’s boys - -U Conn



  • Hurley was his usual petulant self; at one point he as so far out on the court he picked up a St John player’s shoe that had fallen off. I don’t like coaches who constantly wander out on the court like Bruce Weber.



  • @stoptheflop ya I seen that, that way the ref came over by him so he could whine, cry, and bitch some more



  • Dam so I tuned in to watch some of the KSU/ASU game and right off the bat found out that- - -For some reason Coleman Hawkins wasn’t playing today for K/State- – & Freeman ASU leading Scorer and player has been kicked off the team WOW



  • Okie state beat isu



  • Baylor got beat by cin.



  • @Crimsonorblue22 ISU freefalling.



  • Man, I hate to say this , cause I can’t stand them. Yet it sure looks to me that Duke should be the clear favorite to cut the nets down this year. They are just destroying anyone they are playing games aren’t even close.

    They are pretty dang good , and the thing is who you going to ry and shut down ? -Obvious one is Flagg, but go ahead and then the others go off-- doesn’t look good for anyone else. there could be just haven’t seen the consistency of any others.-- Auburn --MAYBE, - Maybe Alabama if they turned it into a track meet and they hit their three’s- -other then that I dunno.



  • @SlimShaddy54 Knueppel is the best player on that team. Tough to stop.



  • @approxinfinity pick your poison their 5 guy is not joke-- — - — Knueppel – -- -Flagg - -doesn’t matter



  • Just saw that the Haskell womens coach got terminated because of DOGE actions. Maybe question this expense at the end of the season? But in season? Heartless.



  • UCF tried their best to give that game away against K/State , but ended up winning 80-76 -K/State on a four game losing streak

    The Freshman for UCF Tiam pretty solid game – 11 points - -10 rebounds- -& - --8 blocks



  • K-state won their national championship beating us at home and have packed the season in



  • @MR11 Kinda like we did after beating Duke



  • Hey now, we are nothing like KState. They only had a 2 week stretch of good play where we are a coinflip every night.

    Why was he a probationary employee since 2021? Something else is amiss too.

    He did say he would finish the season out - unpaid 😕



  • All I saw was let go mid season, nothing about probationary. Tweets rarely go into relevant facts!



  • @wissox I want to know why the hiring process is so messed up he was a probationary employee for 4! years. Not that anyone saw this coming, but it was avoidable and seems weird.



  • Lots of talk about St. Johns and now one East Coast SPN article saying could St. Johns be the 5th Big East champion of the century? I looked at their schedule. Underwhelming! 1-1 against top 25. They beat Creighton, that’s it, and Creighton is no longer ranked. Doesn’t sound like a champion to me.



  • Who else remembers the FT distraction at OU that was a 6ft gorilla behind the backboard and the head spun in a circle? I kind of miss those fan hijinks, but they made me mad during the game. What about the AZ or AZ St person behind the shower curtain. That was a good one. But I sure don’t miss the insensitive antics that we saw in Manhattan and Columbia.



  • Izzo pulled an alltimer today. UW was off to a great start and Tonje had an And 1 called. Izzo started complaining and the refs took the 2 points off the board saying it was before the shot. Huge momentum swing as we didn’t score and what would have been 16-4 remained at 13-4, they hit a 3 and suddenly we had ourselves a ballgame. Many big Izzo moments today. I like him as a coach still but refs really look over their shoulders at him if they know he’s staring at them.
