Sunflower showdown part 2 8pm ESPN
-
@DanR lol I’m not sure what to predict yet in March, I’ve compared this team to 04-05 but still not sure tomorrow will mean a lot on how I predict march.
-
Ahh gameday, the most glorious of days! Off to the stop sign of stupid to pound some pussycats!!!
-
I found an alum singing the EMAW Song…have a listen
-
On another note, Have we ever heard Self offer unsolicited remarks about how tired his team is as frequently as we have this year? Seems like every presser he’s talking about how thin this team is and how tired they are. Didn’t the '12 team basically play 5 +KY & Connor?
-
@Blown sounds like excuses to me.
-
@HawkChamp I would think so as well, but in 14 years being here, his MO would be to call them soft or something or "just not that tough.’ If he is saying they are tired, there has to be something to it. Just not in the Okie Baller to make excuses–unless he’s getting ‘soft’.
-
Well with Bragg traveling with the team question is - - Does he play? - - yes or no? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Self texted that Bragg made the trip to Manhattan with the team on Sunday evening but that he had not yet decided if Bragg would play.
-
@jayballer 54
I vote “yes”.
-
@Blown mentally. Kentucky then Baylor, off the court
, Injuries. Coach has had to deal w/more than most coaches lately. Not excuses.
-
If Bragg travels and doesn’t play, then the Riverboat Gambler played a big bluff on Bruce.
You know the plan for Bruce will be to attack in the paint.
I like the idea of playing Carlton along side Landen… let’s bring them the unexpected and ATTACK THEIR POST!
Plus… this can only make our guards hungry again… starting with defense.
-
@Blown that’s certainly possible
-
I say he plays, why else would he go??
-
Heard from kstater they have downloaded ever possible song w/walk in it
-
Bragg is suiting up, can play
-
Carlton Bragg’s indefinite suspension is over, per Bill Self. He’ll suit for tonight’s #kubball game at K-State.
-
Ku has won 74 of 85 games (87%) in series since 1984 and 61 of 68 (90%) since 1990.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yep just heard
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Drug charge will be dismissed in 6 months if he keeps his nose clean. Guess we’ll see how bad he wants to stay at KU.
-
I thought I had read 6 months somewhere; thank you for the info.
Now that Bragg will not have the munchies…will he lose the 30 pounds he gained last summer? Inquiring minds want to know…
-
Maybe Bragg can come out in attack mode, now that the ‘fog’ has lifted. Lets try 2 bigs (LL+CB ) in a traditional hi-low, and frustrate DJWilliams quickly.
I think we have our hands full this game, but I also think the Jayhawks are a bit ticked off, and that RedFacedAngryMan has likely been breathing down their neck about allowing 90pts in AFH from an unranked team…
-
Or how about we attack Williams in the post? Foul him out. We turn the table and gain a huge advantage in the low post.
-
@drgnslayr Yep, that was my idea, to attack him to foul him out with bigs, but we can attack with Frank, JJ, Svi, Devonte also.
-
@drgnslayr like we should have fouled out Burton. He was big 12 player of the week
-
Well…he benefited from the familiar KU tradition of letting a nondescript opponent player have a career day…
-
@ralster johnson
-
Here’s my take:
If K-State hits 18 3 pointers and we have 21 turnovers I will never waste my time watching again.
-
Bragg suiting up?
-
Yes, Bragg will be playing.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Good deal. Hopefully he is ready to make a difference?
-
One would think his mind is a little clearer now…
-
@JayHawkFanToo I think so. If he plays to his potential around the basket and mixes in a constant jumper around the free throw line, we could be really really dangerous.
-
@KansasComet man is he going to hear from the fans tonight!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 You are right. I think he can handle it. He will be happy to get back on the court. He has to feel bad about missing the ISU game.
-
This is exactly what we all had envisioned for Bragg at he beginning of the season and even basketball analysts had him as the KU breakout player but it did not work out that way, although there are 8 games left to play plus conference tournament and the Dance so he has time to turn it around At this time I would say he needs to come back next year but them I though Diallo needed to come back too… which goes to show how much I know.
-
I hope that Bragg can make it through this next 6 months without a positive weed test. If he walks into a party where someone is smoking, it will show up in his urine. He needs some help. It is not as addicting as the pills or other stuff, but obviously, this has been going on for a while. If you re-watch the game, he was very good against Duke. Then he began to look like he couldn’t tie his own shoelace. We have been disappointed in him, but it is time to forgive and hope he seeks help. Sorry to say this to all of the Lightfoot and Colby fans, but Carlton is a much better basketball player than they are. We all have different attitudes towards what Coach should do, but those of you that want to kick him off the team have a different leaning than I do.
-
@kjayhawks KU better effing win this game. Thats my take.
-
@Lulufulu my exact thoughts. I don’t really care if we win by 2 or 20. Just win and get back on track for winning another Big 12 title.
HAWKS!
-
@joeloveshawks amen
-
@wrwlumpy Some go to school to learn. Others go just to party. We will see what Carlton is made of and whether those closest to him will keep him on the right path. I would hate to see him blow this chance he has been given as you don’t know if you will get the same chance IF there is a next time. Hope he thinks long and hard about his future. Kids these days
-
I have to admit, it’s pretty darn cute when K-State fans actually think they can beat us. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
-
@nuleafjhawk HA!
