The Smashing Thrashing of Baylor, or the Great Allen Field House Turkey Shoot
-
@jaybate-1.0 I agree with all that you said here, well the words that I could comprehend anyways lol, others ummm not so much, have no idea what some meant lol, but I’m kinda slow. The only other possible negative that I saw was once again Baylor was given multiple opportunities to drive right down the lane in the game, because of not stopping the dribble drive, we have got to do a better job of moving our feet staying in front of players, not getting beat on the drive, BUT that’s getting kinda picky reaching during this game, I posted in another thread, pretty much a complete game, when we play like this we look petty dam scary, when we play like this, I’ll take my chances against anybody in the Nation hands down, and as always ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jaybate-1.0 There was definitely something going on between Coach and Drew. I couldn’t help but notice the non-handshake handshake Self had with Drew after the game. It would’ve taken high speed photography to capture the millisecond that shake took.
I love all our guys, but Devonte has been the one player I pull for the most. It is fantastic seeing him take off like this.
-
Good news on Greene. NOT his thumb. Got hit on the funny bone hard. Irony?
Don’t think Coach likes the smarmy Drew. Handshakes are where you can see for yourself his reaction to the other coaches. No love lost there at all.
-
@jaybate-1.0 Great post as always, and I enjoy a beat down of Scott Drew, but I hope this was not done at the expense of playing some starters too many minutes. Oklahoma looms large on Monday night, and I hope we don;t show up tired.
-
@KUSTEVE This is just my own personal opinion, but I think Self takes a fair amount of offense to coaching against someone who really isn’t a coach.
It would be like a real politician debating Donald Trump. (If there were such a thing as a real politician) or me being the starting Quarterback against Cam Newton. You just can’t take those situations seriously…
-
@nuleafjhawk I wish i could downvote your post. I wish you’d take your political nonsense elsewhere.

I don’t know what it is about Scott Drew, but that guy stirs in me what barely remains as a snort in an aging old stumbling bull. I suppose that my animosity hails back to Drew’s AFH pre-game shenanigans several seasons ago, My wife cannot comprehend the level of bitter vetch which I display in ceaseless fashion when Drew’s mug appears on our tv screen. I transform from a gentle old spaniel into a pit bull, teeth bared and snarling. Praise be to the just and mirthful gods that Bill Self was bestowed with a special lift to his loafers as he passed through that post game handshake line last night. My only regret: our lads should have scored 150!
-
@REHawk LOL. Love it…
-
Dam, I guess I’m going to have to start paying more attention. I didn’t even notice, or pay any if all attention to the hand shakes between the coaches. What am I missing guys? is there a problem going on here? As far as Coach playing the guys to long I don’t really think that’s going to be an issue, I think we will be fine, if anyone it’s going to be Oklahoma with the short turn around late game yesterday, game last night and then having to travel here, they had a war. hope we are ready, should be classic, with the atmosphere, national tv, the new video, it’s gonna be insane ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

“I don’t recall a talented basketball team being beaten as badly as KU beat Baylor EVER!”
Oh come now Mr. Jaybate. You can remember things like famous alchemists, and Scipio Africanus and know words like prurience for goodness sakes, but can’t recall us defeating Marquette in 2003 with 3 future pros, two who are still playing? Remember that game? We were winning 70-30 at one point!! The Carolina beatdown comes to mind in 2008 semis as well.
You did bring out the inadequacies of Scott Drew. He seems to get a deer in the headlights look when things aren’t going too well. One of the most beautiful games I ever watched was UW against Baylor in the 2014 tourney, sweet 16. It was an absolute clinic of how to play against a zone. The pregame noise was UW won’t be able to compete against BU’s length and athleticism. Bo showed how it’s done. And the look on Scott’s face was one of total cluelessness. Just like yesterday.

Fellow Posters: I have read a few times that Scott Drew is always badmouthing Coach Self on the recruiting trail. Am I mis-remembering posts, or is this generally assumed to be true? If so, how would we/Self know this? Do we hear this from recruits who sign with us who have also been recruited by Baylor, or would Self hear that from other coaches who do not resort to such tactics?
I know that I harbor no animosity toward BU players, but I find myself not liking Drew at all. He gets good talent there, but I think of him as a “roll the ball out there” kind of coach. An AAU coach at the D1 level, if you will. I don’t get the intricacies of the game as most here do, so I may be being a bit simplistic here. If he is badmouthhing Self, that could be the animus. It could also be that Drew has what my son-in-law would call “a punchable face.” Examples that he has provided would include Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
-
Scott Drew has as many losses in Allen Fieldhouse as Bill Self does now. If I were Drew I’d be a bit envious as well. (I hope I would be gracious in defeat though)
-
@jaybate-1.0 I personally anticipate he (HCBS) displays the same vile intentions for even a more thorough beat down of UK & the Squid when their visit finally ensues…

@wissoxfan83
I think of Madison.
But I love Lawrence.
I had a mentor in Madison.
But I have my daddy in Lawrence–St. Jimmy.
Bo was a nice, but gooney blind date.
But I married Bill.
I am a basketball monogamist.
He makes the earth move under my feet…
Especially yesterday!
I have graduated from both schools to become lifetime fans of both, but with all due respect, nothing the Badgers have ever done can in basketball compare with my Jaybirds; either overall, or yesterday!
Damn, yesterday was a Mt. Everest moment in how to play the game.
It was all Bill Ball.
He ran a bit of everything he has been assembling.
And the team was shifting seamlessly among all of it.
Quick trigger Trey for lead.
Faint with two possessions of Bad Ball.
Transition.
Defend the lead in the High-Low down to 13.
Quick trigger trey back to 15, then 20.
Perfect, timely matchup substitutions.
Defend the lead.
Passing offense.
Anticipate the rough stuff of Scott trying to cheap shot back into the game with some hard fouls.
Press and steal a possession to encourage despair.
Defend the lead.
One foot on the gas and one on the brake alternating, while the CVT shifts constantly, seamlessly.
It was the sweet fruit of two years of sweat, toil, labor and determination in the Horejsi Laboratory at the Institute for Advanced Basketball Studies in remote Basketball Tibet!! It was the flowering of MULTIPLE OFFENCE 2.0.
Beauty walked the razor’s edge.
It was the Subaru’s quiet, humble, but tenaciously competitive engineering team finally getting the continuously variable transmission to work correctly, after decades of others trying and failing to make the CVT work with elegant efficiency long envisioned in principle!
Bravo to Bill and his staff and players!!!
Naismith, Allen, and Iba were all beaming up in the rafters above the scoreboard.
This was one of those sublime moments in the greatest game ever invented.
It was one small step for a team.
But one giant leap for MULTIPLE OFFENSE 2.0.
Rock Chalk!!!

@jaybate-1.0 Good stuff. Self put Drew over his knee and spanked his behind.
You said, “What could be better? Maybe a week of great sex with a beautiful woman?”
Funny, last year, you said the same thing I think – but left out the “great” and the “beautiful” parts … but perhaps my memory is flawed ….
-
@jaybate-1.0 Your initial post in this thread is likely my favorite out of all the ones I’ve read by you. A fine example of what happens when passion, intelligence and good writing meet. Nice work!
-
Xclnt point. Now I have to start wringing my mitts again!!!
-
Thx, u r very kind.
-
If I were young and in therapy, I could probably put at least one therapist’s kid through college getting to the bottom of my repetition you aptly note!

-
@jaybate-1.0 Or maybe your standards have increased???
-
No, about sex, I am resolute. There are no bad orgasms. Men and women were put on this earth to sustain, even enhance, genetic diversity. This is as bed rock as the “c” term in E=mc^2.
-
There is plenty of anecdotal information on Drew bad mouthing other coaches while recruiting, a huge no-no in the coaching business. While these types of issue are pretty much kept under wraps, former Texas and current Tennessee coach Rick Barnes just about spelled out in a press conference.
-
@KUSTEVE You just did downvote it sir!
