Joining from r/jayhawks. Rock Chalk, Baby!
-
@handshawk sweet! Welcome!
-
@handshawk if you are curious about our historical conversations check out the archive. 10 years of talking Kansas sports as nauseum in there! Haha
Actually i should be careful what i suggest, could get lost in there. I just turned off registration on the old site (the archive) now that i thought about it. Ha. Dont mind me. I’ll lock in when its game time!

Who is everyone’s “hawk to rock” this game? Im going with Tre. It seems like he has found himself and the product is repeatable. I think Tiller will have ups and downs and this may be another quiet game. Flory should be solid, though either could have a monster game.
-
I'm rockin' 2nd-half Melvin. He's gonna get to the basket and AND FINISH for 22 points, draw 14 fouls and also dish out 37 assists.
KU 118, UConn 22.
-
@JoJoAndMe wow! What an amazing story. I cant believe they didnt do anything, haha. What did your friends think? Were you proud and own it? Ha
-
@Jayblaze nice. Love it. I bet the melvin effect happens as their guards shoot high volume low percentage
-
@RockChalkinTexas-0 I loved dancing to PBR!!!
-
We will defend but can we score? Hurley's team will play tough and maybe a little over the line. Tre may get a little offended by that. Don't foul out Tre as we will need all of your 16 points. KU 74 Uconn 71.
-
Man i am juiced! We feel like a team that other teams shouldn’t want to play. All upside here. Expectations for this team will start AFTER we win this one.
-
I was listening to a sports podcast yesterday about the game tonight. When asked, the host said if DP plays he picks the Huskies. If he doesn’t he picks the Hawks. Interesting take and I going with it too.

I know nothing about UConn this year, feels like we can hang with anyone. This guy thinks it will be pretty even: https://www.babcockhoops.com/post/no-5-uconn-vs-no-21-kansas-preview-matchups-and-prediction
And mentions that Solo Ball is shooting in the 20s from 3 after shooting 43% last year. That would smell like a career night incoming in years past but not with MELVIN COUNCIL! We are long, lets shut him down.
Also wouldnt it be amazing if Marko could build on the Tennessee game? Fingers crossed for the kid.
-
@DanR Not only are you back, youre starting on the same live game thread as the rest of us! i smell a run.
-
I’m hoping for a bounce back game from Flory, who struggled against Tennessee, though oddly he only had 1 foul.
-
UConn looked pretty good against Illinois.
-
AFH Baby. Let's give Coach Hurley the Norm Stewart welcome he deserves
-
@stoptheflop Norm really was a badass Hurley not so much but both are fun to troll.
-
Sorry, I know this doesn't really pertain to us directly but was killing time till our game.
Just got to say these fricking Duke fans arrogance is just stifling man-- -they always think they get fouled every trip down the floor , they never foul , seems like the got the three referees these one's tonight missed blatant clear as a full moon at night-- - Duke players bulldoxing Florida nothing-- -Florida same type of play and it's a charge.
Ahh yes always refreshing to play a five on Eight.
-
I’ve got a decent feeling about us tonight. Seems like we really gelled in Vegas plus AFH is probably worth 10
-
Is everyone stuck watching this Tennesee Syracuse game?
