WKRP in Cincinnatti
-
41 has a punchable face
-
Our offense it stank, as the 3s all went clank, but chalk nuther one up for the ‘hawks
-
Wave the wheat, this was pretty neat!
-
The disparity in rebounding effort for hunt on offensive end compared to defensive end is significant.
-
Easy cover never a doubt!
-
Not often that you can shoot 35% from the field and 2-21 from 3 on the road and come away with a win…
-
Teams can’t shoot worth a hoot but we win by over 10.
-
Good Game. Look at all the time I have to do chores around the house now.
-
We certainly will take the win, but the way our shots fell was a sin.
-
Aziz is a very dirty player btw
-
thanks ladies and gents, always fun to give my 2 cents!
-
ugly but I’ll take it, Good guys wins again
-
KU is allowing 51.3 ppg in conference play now.
-
Our 2025 win average is still high at 28 points 3-0 lol
-
What has become quickly clear is that Shak is a difference maker. Allows us to win ugly…
-
Isu and tt tied
-
Shaq making a big difference on this team
-
Only 12 fouls and 7 FT’s today combined.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 crazy
-
Look at it like this , if we can play this ugly and still find a way to win , has got to be good fortune
-
Bet we have Fran wed
-
Held ASU/CINCI to 13 and 15 points in the second half
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not if you sinc it up with Hanni and Gurley!
-
Where do we play tech?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Home
-
Second half for Cincy - .517 ppp
Bill must be BEAMING after these recent defensive showings.
-
Time to go make some chili and get ready for the Texans game!
-
KJ better last two games rebounding , Nine & then Seven today- - Five offensive - - we doing better on the offensive glass
-
@BShark How much does defense cause a team like cincy to miss so many shots at the rim? I mean my screen was really pretty poor quality but there must have been ten plays where through the snow I thought oh crap they’re gonna score and then somehow they missed? Looked like a lot of really easy wide open misses to me. I know defensive pressure can get in a kids head but, idk, what’s the answer?
-
@wissox I think that the rims weren’t regulation size in this one haha
-
ISU and TTU a good game - much higher level of play…
-
I’ve been pretty easy on Juan this year, he’s been pretty solid for the most part but Shak out played him hardcore today. Idk how many deflections he got today. I hate how if you get one the steal goes to whomever catches it but I counted 8. Juando had 5 points and 1 assist today with zero fouls telling me he wasn’t aggressive in the slightest

They had some that went in and out. The missed dunk was insane but I don’t think they had tons of open looks all game. I could be wrong.
-
We had 5 turnovers in the first 8 minutes and 2 in the last 32. Why in the world was this game not boring?

Some people appreciate great defense and KU was pretty much lights out on defense today. Cincy was pretty good defensively for the first 30 minutes today.
-
Cincy only scored 3 points in the final 7:33 of the game. KU’s defense was lights out down the stretch.
-
@wissox both I think
-
Shak Moore 27 minutes today, only one less than Juan.
-
What a 2nd half, still ugly but got the job done. Clutch buckets late
-
The 40 points Ku gave up today is the least amount of points since all the way back in 1963
-
Hunter Dickinson Highlights vs. Cincinnati (14 Pts, 12 Rebs, 2 Asts)

That’s gotta be in regards to conference play because I know there were a couple of times while I was at KU that they held a non-conference opponents under 40. Just looked it up, Alcorn St. in 2009-10 and Howard in 2011-12.
-
@BShark Offense looked the best when Juan wasn’t on the floor. Sloppy with the ball and doesn’t even command the other team guards him
Good news - we won
Bad news - other team didn’t guard kj and we labored to score yet again. Bad spacing, wrong guys taking the wrong shots, turnovers and no driving lanes
Against a good team we’d get handled by 15-20 which is what I expect isu to do Wednesday. If Cincy could have thrown it in the ocean they’d won
The whole “we play bad but make them play worse” I’m not a fan of. How about we figure out the way to play our best ball versus worry about the other team making us play poorly.
Good road win that we will take but Wednesday we will see if we are turning a corner or just another sweet 16 team with no title chance

You were watching a very different game if you think Dejuan wasn’t aggressive at all today.
Nobody had more than 2 assists for KU today and only 12 for the game which is probably a season low, or close to it.
What Shak does for Dejuan is take pressure off of him. Dejuan no longer has to have the responsibility of both running the offense and guarding the other team’s best perimeter player. Shak being able to focus on guarding the best perimeter player allows Dejuan to guard a lesser player which requires less energy.
It also means that Dejuan can focus more of his energy on running the offense and what the assists numbers say is that KU was scoring more off of the second and third passes rather than directly off of Dejuan’s passes.
Cincinnati played great defense for the first 30 minutes, but KU finally wore out their defense and Dejuan was a large part of that with his movement both with and without the ball.
Shak and Dejuan are not in competition with each other. Their games compliment each other very well and work best when both are on the floor together.

@kjayhawks Crazy what will happen to the program when a legitimate D1 athlete who can drive, defend and hit the occasional 3 will do
Now imagine a 4 man who’s athletic and can stretch the floor
Actual spacing and good offense! I’m sure we will still pound it inside to some big man with low offensive skill set cause that’s the Self way but least we will be fun to watch!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m not sure Gurley and Hanni is the one’s who mentioned it saying first time since 63
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 That place will be rocking and I might just be there for it
Their guards are all crazy athletic and force a ton of turnovers (I feel like most in conference but don’t care to look it up).
Juan, Zeke and Kj will all have 3+ a piece
-
@FarmerJayhawk welcome to the 90’s baby
-
David Lawrence on the radio said it was the lowest point total for an opponent on the road since 1960 when we held Nebraska to 39 in Lincoln
