AN INSTANT CLASSIC
-
@betterfireE Relying on a 80% FT % to win the game.
-
The Missouri game meant the most, but to see a line which had at one time, Svi, Devonte, Hunter, Lucas and Brannen able to come from 16 points down to pull it out in overtime with JAMARI playing the game of his life, with Lucas blocking the final shot before overtime and landing flat on his back, with Hunter being our only scoring offense for a six minute period. I’m sorry, but that is the hardest fought game by both teams benches.
-
@Bwag Good point. But we played HORRIBAD and still managed to come back.
It wasn’t like the ISU game, where they played essentially perfect basketball in the second half. We played ugly, ugly basketball with our backups and still came through against great 3 point shooting.
-
@Bwag @betterfireE 81.3% versus Tx and 79.1% tonight.
-
@betterfireE Granted and thankfully so. But I don’t think I’ve seen that translate in 1 and done tournament games when things are going well. Seems the player psychology is all different. Definitely take the win ugly over a loss. Will anything we did tonight carry over except play damn hard all the time? Maybe that’s enough.
-
It was as if clenching a tie made us relax in the first half. Then the subs said, “Hey we FRicken care!”
-
@RockChalkinTexas I’m betting she’s there til they turn out the lights.
-
No way I thought we could win after handling the pressure so poorly and then losing Perry then having Wayne go out. Like the Coach always says, if we put you on the floor, be ready to play.
-
Of games that we have eventually won, I think that was the most resigned I’ve been in the final 2 minutes of regulation since the NC in 08
-
@bskeet my sentiments exactly
-
…there was just no reason to believe that we would win, after witnessing the first 35 minutes.
-
You suppose after 11 in a row, and especially this one, those of us who are doubters, even myself sometimes, have finally learned our lesson? Or will we be back here next year wringing our hands, worrying, doubting and complaining as usual?
-
@DoubleDD honey!!!
-
@RockChalkinTexas w/oubre!!! Ha ha
-
The two streaks I’m most glad are continuing after tonight:
- 32nd straight final home game victory (dating back to 1983)
- Self still never swept by a B12 team
-
@bskeet Almost forgot about the sweep thing as that network brought it up as if it was gonna happen. Not this year.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Top 10 Plays of the Day coming up. That one super jam by Jamari better be there.
-
@brooksmd I’m on it!
-
It was awesome! Hope it’s on!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 See that leap by the Maryland player? Amazing.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Just read an email from my sister in Topeka. Said the game was pathetic and going to bed. Wonder what she’ll think in the morning. lol
-
@brooksmd and the guy walked! I probably would have too!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I probably would’ve had to change my drawers. lol
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He should’ve tried the shot and got the 3 FT’s.
-
@brooksmd it was pretty!!
-
@brooksmd I thought Perry was done for the year, thought his lower leg was hanging. Do they have MRI at AFH?
-
Could you see what happened?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah. Him and Lucas went up and when they came down LL landed on his knee. To me it was bad but didn’t look really bad. Don’t know what capability they have in AFH as far as MRI. But like it was pointed out, he came back out without crutches so that was good.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 They’ve been showing it on E*** when they show the game hilites.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Game hitlites up in a couple of minutes.

I was going to go to bed in the middle of second half, feeling frustrated. Glad I stayed up. Loved the relentless fight the team showed late in the game.
-
-
From the beginning of this showing the WVU pressure to the end showing Jamari at his best, the evening was summed up in one play
-
@wrwlumpy @jaybate-1.0 Gives hard currency to Jaybates theory of 'Bad Ball"
-
@Lulufulu No that refers to Jaybate’s medical condition.
-
From what I’ve seen so far, the general emotion taken from last night’s game is one of elation. ?
Am I the only one that is still seething that we got into an 18 point hole - at home?
I’m very glad we won and I guess it shows that these guys can get tough and fight back, but I sure would like to see just one game this year where we bolt out to a 10 point lead and win by 20.

Huggy bear said “There are some things that happened that are just hard to explain”. That sir is why it says Pay Heed all who enter. Beware of the PHOG
-
I sent the picture of all 10 championship trophies with #11 sitting there to the sports talk radio guys this morning (104.9 The Horn)
with the caption:
How KU Storms The Court!
and they talked about the photo and said it was sent by me on the air. Several guy friends of mine emailed and called me to tell me they knew it was “me” they were talking about.
Both of the guys also said HCBS SHOULD BE COY and not Scott Drew based on what Coach did with such little talent and marveled at what that streak/record means in today’s era.
-
Ah, yes, the medical condition schtick. I love it when the underbelly surfaces in too short of succession for comfort. Always shortly after lackeys ply rhetorical devices old as public relations.
-
@RockChalkinTexas wow! Really cool!
-
@RockChalkinTexas Yeah, after re-watching the last couple of minutes of reg time and the ot (for about the 3rd or 4th time) I noticed there didn’t seem to be any security keeping fans off the floor. "Dat’s how we roll in da Phog."
-
@brooksmd No need for any because AFH FANS are the best in the LAND.
-
Huggy says: “We deserved to win”. Surely he knows this, but some may not “It’s not always the team that plays the best that wins; But the best team almost always Wins!”
