KU vs. Emporia St - Svi To Start
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No, no, no … 1000 times no. KY’s was a classic 70’s 'fro, of Artis Gilmore vintage. A work of art. A staple on ABA courts throughout the land. Bringing up memories of Dr. J with the iconic slam over a defenseless oaf, the 'fro arcing backward from the near terminal velocity. The mess on Oubre’s head is, well, not that. Oubre’s hair is perhaps a Fiero, where the classic 'fro is a Corvette. Dr. J, Artis Gilmore, and other 'fro legends demand an apology.
-
@HighEliteMajor ha ha! Was not comparing styles, just their brand. The girls love oubre, and his hair. KY’s fro is awesome! Love that guy!
-
@HighEliteMajor if Lucas can emerge & answer the bell at the. 5 we can get our wish for the 4 you mentioned. Gotta protect the rim.
-
@HighEliteMajor Thanks. I agree on the boxscore aspect. As they say, actions speak louder than words!

@globaljaybird Is that a new pup in your avatar?

SWEE!!! Calling out great luck for Swee to just dominate tonight. Come on, BABY SHOES!!!
-

Here’s a plea for fellow posters to provide ongoing gametime info on tonight’s contest. I have been Zingered, sitting in rural West Central MO with Dish Network TV and a slow Verizon internet aircard (ergo, no ESPN3). If I am fortunate I might be able to dial onto 610 am if the signal has not been reduced as is customary for nighttime broadcasts… IMHO, Sheahon Z’s Time Warner Cable deal still absolutely stinks. If the Jayhawk AD position were an elected chair, I would campaign like a madman to demote that guy to position of assistant equipment manager for non-basketball sports.
-
I believe you nailed it.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Kelly O is definitely comfortable with his do. I like his individuality! And yes we girls do like him.
-
Going to CJonline.com with JNew’s Blog might work. I haven’t heard, but I assume he’ll be doing it.
-
@REHawk I’m lucky to get game, I hate that KU fans can’t get it! I hope SZ loses his job over this decision! I wonder how many times he watches the rowing team? A few of us chatted during the royals game, not sure if global and brooks get the game?
-
I would join you in the campaign. Like you, my provider in Olathe, Consolidated Communications refuses to get Metro Sports so I am also screwed.
The women’s soccer team is playing in the NCAA and opens Sunday at home against MU…of all teams. So far the TV icon at kuathletics.com shows as TBA. You would think that with all the hoopla about the minor sports being on TV, this would be a done deal. If even this is not shown on TV, then Zenger needs to go…the basketball and football blackouts alone justify his firing.
-
Best laughter I’ve had in a while. Checked into xfinity pay-per-vew here in Houston just now
$ 109.26 plus fees and taxes.
Maybe they think there are bars full of Jayhawks down here just waiting for an exhibition game.
-
@JayhawkRock78 I’m calling on cousin Eddie in sw ks to bring SZ to us!
-
Reporting in from ESPN3 land- the game has closely resembled a Cahrlie Chaplin movie, as ESPN3 is profusely dragging.
-
I can only follow the play by play on the KU web site and from what I can tell Traylor is doing well. Other than that pretty average play
KU is 1-9 from 3…on the other hand it is 13-14 FT. Svi is 0-4 from 3.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Graham looking good, Lucas doing well, Svi can’t hit but playing good d. Not much from Perry or Wayne. So many guys, hard to pick a good combo.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Watchin on ESPN3 down here in da bayou.
-
@JayhawkRock78 Yep global got a new pup. His name is Rascal.
-
@brooksmd what do you think?
-
I HATE ZENGER!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Well I’m impressed with the ft shooting tonite. At times they play like a well oiled team, just not enough times. Loving Devonte at both ends and Svi on d. Waiting for his 3 to come around. Ellis looking much better this half. Overall I think several players had to put on new shorts after the chewing from Self at ht.
-
Looks like Ellis is finally coming alive…
-
Alexander ragtime jam!!!
-
Platooning? 4 players in…4 freshmen on the floor plus Lucas…
-
@brooksmd depth factor is huge. Better test fri, and I get to go!!
-
@JayHawkFanToo crazy huh? Glad I’m not coaching, who do you play?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 And you didn’t get me a ticket? Remember I’m retired and always available.
-
@brooksmd a lot of times I go by myself. Top row though. You are a little far away.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Can’t be as bad as upper deck in the superdome.
-
@brooksmd I’m ok w/it, I think some friends have some better tickets for me fri. Can’t wait!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Even Self got a big smile on that block and jam by Alexander. Play of the game.
-
All of them, this is the time when you see how players perform under real game conditions…
-
@JayHawkFanToo so many are playing well! It’s a good thing.
-
More platooning…
-
Extremely balanced scoring for KU so far…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think by conference play they’ll be ready to bring home #11.
-
@brooksmd agree, I couldn’t pick 5 starters though. Not yet.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Me neither. Have a good time Friday nite and wanna hear ya yelling “Let’s go Jayhawks” from the rafters. GN
-
My impression from following the play by play on the internet and not actually watching the game…
KU started 1-9 and then shot 5-9 from the 3. Big improvement.
Extremely balance scoring. 9 players scored between 9 and 13 points. surprisingly Svi was not one of them, consistency is going to be an issue with him
Fouls are a concern with the bigs. Mickelson 5, Lucas 4, Alexander 3…against Emporia State?
-
@JayHawkFanToo fouls and in not to many minutes.
-
I’ll add:
-
Devonte was spectacular. Great defensive pressure, several steals, created an over and back, fed the ball exceptionally well, and made several nice shots.
-
Our most electric player is Cliff. He instantly takes over the game when he’s in there. Not sure why we had to wait 10 minutes to see him, but when his number was finally called, he delivered.
-
Swee was off, because I think we jinxed him. He must be a Kubuckets reader, because HEM suggested a possible 1-7 shooting night, and I think that’s exactly what he shot. Wish you would’ve said 8 for 8, HEM.
-
I don’t think we saw an “A” game from Wayne or Perry by any means. We saw some special 2nd half moments from both, but I think their show begins Friday.
-
-
With the $109 price tag for a pay per view-
I went with the audio play by play. Not a bad way to follow a cupcake game for free. Better than gamescast stats.
-
@KUSTEVE you jinxed him!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I did my “baby shoes” good luck cry. I don’t know what happened. It always works.
-
After my earlier grousing about non-telecast, I discovered that Full Court was running this contest on Dish 457. So, I can sleep peacefully after all. Bill Self has so many available combinations this season that winning basketball will certainly be a work in progress. Good to see Selden and Ellis get serious after 3 halves of lackluster numbers. Svi’s shooting was off tonight, but the kid is the real deal. His outlet pass with 2 1/2 minutes left in first half was splendid. He looks to become an impact player sooner than anticipated by many. Lucas, Mickelson and Alexander all looked formidable. A very active crew of big men. Point guard position looks to be much improved over a year ago, with Mason and Graham exhibiting some good stuff. Greene still quick to bounce into BIll Self’s toughening box, but he pops back off the bench to create some serious mayhem for defenders. Freethrow shooting very much improved tonight. Bill has made his point! I’d say that it will take awhile for this squad to gel and win smoothly; but by midFebruary they should be ready to make a run toward some titles. Athleticism abounds.

@JayhawkRock78 Yes that’s a rescued year old piss & vinegar boxer named Rascal. . Is A whole lotta dog for an old fart. Takes the BB outta my hand at 7 feet. Major jumper. Have a 6 ft fence around the house & front & rear cattle gates but still have to watch like a hawk, as in Jayhawk!. Pasture fence is only 42 " with one strand of barb so without the leash is not an option. Lotta work but unlike you know who, wakes up in the SAME MOOD every damn day." Sound familiar?! Thanks for noticing .

@globaljaybird rascal is keeping you young!
