Friday Tourney Chat
-
UVa getting a scare here. Belmont within 3 now.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Thot WSU wld get some separation but they scrapped their way to the W.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wow, you might get yr wish!
-
@ajvan I just want to beat crap out of WSU
-
Seriously if we can’t beat either team by 10 or more, we should go home. Neither impresses me.
-
IU is loosy goosy and WSU is overplaying. We definitely have the advantage inside. I’d give our 3 guard the edge and we are fairly even on the 2 and 1.
The 1 and 2 will be a good match up with either team. I think if our 1 and 2 guards play and win the battle, KU wins against either team.
-
@truehawk93 gag me
-
WSU it is…
-
Note, Gregg Marshall has NEVER called to schedule KU! Why would KU be afraid? Brother!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Media hype
-
neither IU or WSU passed the eye test or instilled fear. KU should pound these guys.
-
Committee got what they wished for. Funny how all the other 7 seeds were unranked with records of 21-11 for Iowa Hawkeyes, 25-10 for VCU, and 23-11 Michigan State…
-
Good gawd I hope our guys are focused and come to play. I’d like to see them throttle this WSU team.
-
Watching today… If we don’t play hard for 40 mi . We won’t win Sunda . Sorry if y’all don’t wanna hear that
-
@cragarhawk Pretty much true of any team at this point.
-
@cragarhawk i think that’s a given with this team.
-
@cragarhawk WSU better bring it too!
-
Perry needs to bring it. He’s going to have a lot riding on this game. Its time he breaks out of this post injury slump. He only scored 9 pts against NMSU.
Bring it Perry. You will determine this game. Lead this team against the Shockers.
-
@truehawk93 Perry will do fine, if we all play like today, we run them off court!
-
I wonder how the Jayhawks feel–will they be the hunter or hunted? I hope Self doesn’t let this get to him, and keeps his approach just as if it is any other team. But Marshall has to have gotten under his skin slightly, and my feeling is this will be personal for Self.
-
@Blown My thoughts exactly. It’s their choice.
-
@Blown it’s personal for me too! Don’t think our kids other than Perry care who they are playing.
-
@Blown I think Marshall will end up regretting that he made this personal for Self. Be careful what you wish for…
-
@ajvan that’s what I’m praying for! All talk
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I hear ya, but it is my opinion that Self appears to be an anxious person. I watch his body language and pay close attention to his comments. Anxiety is not good in moments like this. Marshall is a lot more like Holberg…cool and calm and that is evident in the way the boys respond and play.
-
@truehawk93 Our 1 and 2 should beat the 1 & 2 of WSU. But what about the rest of their lineup?
- Fred V. - Mason
- Baker - Graham, Selden, Oubre</li>
- Cotton - ? , Graham, Mason
- Carter - Traylor
- Kelly - Lucas
- Brown - Ellis, Greene, Oubre, Mickelson
- Morris - Lucas
They will probably try to go at us heavy, with Kelly and Morris. If we can put a lot of pressure on two of their guards, a lot will depend on how we defend the 3rd guard of theirs. Who is the slowest footed of Van V., Baker and Cotton? Not sure if Kelly Oubre is ready for this defensive assignment, as it seems he might get stuck with Baker.
-
They have Morris, Carter, and maybe Brown inside. The tallest they put on the floor is 6-7. They have 6-10, 6-11, and 6-8 on the bench. Mason needs to remember Staten and stay in front of VanVleet. VanVleet was all layups and FTs.
-
@Blown no!! Gregg is afraid!
-
@betterfireE baker was 0-5, Oubre’s length will bother him, they can shoot ft’s
-
We should kill them on boards!
-
@betterfireE Good observation. I’d go at Baker. He has slow feet. Cotton didn’t do much either. VanVleet was all lay-ups and FTs. Mason and Graham will have to stay in front of VanVleet. Our D is much better than IU.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I have to respectfully disagree with you on that Crimson!! Marshall is not afraid. I see no fear in him at all. Of course, I would love to be wrong on this one.
-
@Blown that’s fine! I dislike him soooooo much!
-
15 to 9 second-half fouls in favor of WSU. I think they were wanting to see this, and the media has been talking about it for days. NCAA needs drama like I need some 25 year Scotch and a stogie to celebrate for these AWESOME JAYHAWKS today. I don’t smoke or drink, though
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Why? You’re from Ta town?
-
@Blown It’s hard to evaluate people at a distance, but Marshall looks kind of high-strung to me…
-
This will be WSU’s national championship. We should treat it the same. There is no tomorrow.
-
@Blown if that’s means wichiTa no, but close, get all wichita tv stations. I was watching nit celebration when he called us chicken hawks.
-
@ajvan I’ve not seen Marshall up close either. Self is a different story.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 So you don’t like him because he called us Chickenhawks?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He’s a greasy little weasel. I hope we pound them…
-
@Blown yes!! He’s got a big mouth! Shows no respect!
-
@KUSTEVE If Self left, he’d be one of the first two or three guys I called. But for now, yes he’s a greasy weasel
-
@Blown Not me. He’s strictly small time…
-
@KUSTEVE No he is not. And time will tell you otherwise. But we can just agree to disagree.
-
@Blown I’d have trouble calling him before at least 5-6 others. Danny, Dooley, Turg, Boyle, Vaughn, Haase-right off the top. Surely there are more but must ponder the subject further.
-
@Blown we would never call him after how he talked about us!
-
How’s everyone’s brackets after the morning / afternoon session?
-
@globaljaybird you’ve heard the fans castigate Self even with his outstanding career here and you think any of those coaches other than Turg would last more than 3 years? Not me. Danny isn’t ready. Tad can coach but he couldn’t cut it at Kansas either. And Jacque as a college coach at high elite level? Maybe in a decade.
-
@Blown hopefully Self will still be here! I can’t think of anyone to replace him.
