UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONERS - TUESDAY NIGHT - 8 P.M. - ESPN2
-
No disrespect intended by my use of the term “scrubs” to describe our bench. I’m sorry if I touched a nerve.

Has @brooksmd led us to the basketball fan’s version of PC? JK!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not sure just know he’s been out
-
Bingo, if Woodard is out they don’t have much of a chance. If he plays then this game will be close because Kruger will be looking for a signature home win with a rebuilding roster. Have to guard the 3, they don’t score well from anywhere else
-
Leg injury. They have not been very specific about his injury
He was shooting before their game against k state so I’m sure that puts him in line to play Tuesday at home. Can’t imagine the kid missing his last chance to beat KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Was Woodard the one who kicked the ball in the stands? Same penalty as JJ objecting to the no-call?
-
I believe so
-
-
Ah…yes, Jeff Capel. many think the next few games are an interview for the HC job at Duke when Coach rat face leaves; does anyone realistically believe that Capel has a chance? I personally don’t.
-
Woodard practiced this morning, but Lon Kruger said he won’t play tonight

How about tomorrow?

@JayHawkFanToo I do.

-
@JayHawkFanToo yes, said that awhile back

@mayjay well, sadly or not, I wont fit into that PC world, since I am no fan of KU’s end-of-bench guys playing in games. Often they screw up the stats with silly turnovers, jacked up 3s, and basically getting facialled by the opposing team’s pissed off starters. Or maybe, their “antics” actually camouflages the better stats put up by our starters for most of the game, so maybe I can try to spin their existence in live games to be some sort of advantage.
Was it a bronx cheer when the KU crowd used to yell for “Spoonie” to play, or for Tyler Self to hit a 3?
The reason I feel this way, is that in a pure man-on-man basketball sense, the scrubs cant hold half a candle to the first 7-9 on the roster. Not even in the same ballpark or arena…but yet there they are, right in AFH. (Whatever floats fans’ boats, I guess).
-
@ralster When the crowd cheers for Tyler to shoot or for Jordan Jueneman to play, ir any other end of bench guy, those are not Bronx cheers. That is genuine emotion because KU fans know those guys bust their butts in practice everyday for little recognition publicly.
When those guys come in games, they’re rarely going against the other teams starters, it’s usually against their end of bench guys too.
Teams don’t win championships without tgese end of bench guys running scout team in practice daily making guys like Mason and Jackson better everyday. An opportunity to play a couple of minutes when KU is up 25 against someone at the end of the game is an opportunity for the crowd to show their appreciation for the hard work those guys put in.
-
Ooops no he won’t play tomorrow either
-
Just yanking your chain a little…it’s all good…
-
Do you really think Duke…or KU or UK or UNC or any other blue blood would consider someone with Capel’s record? I certainly don’t…but I don’t do the hiring…
-
@JayHawkFanToo yep
-
You don’t think they would after one of the top 2-3 coaches in the country? Coach K is the highest paid coach in college BBall and it is not even close so money will not be an objects. I just don’t see Capel being top 30 or even top 40. I am sure he will be considered but there are current Duke alumni that are already HCs with a much better resumes including Mike Brey, Johnny Dakwins, Tommy Amaker and when the job opens, it will likely be the top job in college basketball…unless another blue blood is also looking for a coach at the time. Just my 2 cents.
-
I wore my KU gear to work today. Tuesday night is just some fine Big 12 basketball viewing. The league is more exciting this year than I can remember in years’ past. I’ll even be checking in on KState v TT, while watching our game. I heard Vegas has a 5 to 1 betting line on the Baylor W. Virginia game going to OT since we play the 8 pm game. JK
-
Baylor loses it # 1 spot tonight.
-
Woodard remains out tonight with a pulled Leg Muscle. That’s huge for KU and bad news for OU
-
Per @JonRothstein- Oklahoma’s Jordan Woodard fully cleared but return still to be determined
