KU vs the Purps
-
@cragarhawk so baylor, wvu, Kentucky and duke don’t count? Remember, ku is everyone’s super bowl
-
Oh carlton- great play, terrible play
-
This game matters too. If you don’t think getting outrebounded by a midmajor team in the second round of the tourney can cost you a season. You haven’t been paying attention.
-
Our slow starts are really getting old.
-
And isn’t it actually 5-2 vs the top ten?
-
@stoptheflop well, the problem is shot making. This team has struggled the last three weeks or so shooting the ball. Can’t have runs and quick starts without the ball going in the hoop.
-
Shooting 30% meh
-
Fisher is being allowed to shoot uncontested shots. Why does our defense stick at the beginning of AFH games?
-
I suppose next we’ll hear that winning the NC is the only thing that matters. Oh well…
-
Is Bragg wearing skates? Slipping and falling.
-
No you haven’t been paying attention. KU has a limited bench. They can’t just hang all that there. They have to pick they’re moments. This isn’t the typical Coach team. This one is special.
-
Has Josh come back out?
-
@stoptheflop overhelping my friend. I’m starting to think Self preaches protecting the paint over a wide open shot.
-
KU isn’t trying to win rebounding battles right now. Self has them more focused on defense than rebound so KU doesn’t puck up cheap fouls fighting for rebounds and so they can get back on defense.
-
Its not. But if it isn’t the first thing on your list then why play? Isn’t it what every teams goal should be?
-
@JayhawksandChill But our Mr. Bragg is rebounding and scoring, 3 rbs and 6 pts.
-
@DoubleDD no I pay attention real well. And if you play like this against a fundamentally sound and hungry mid major second round you go home. And I’ve seen it. Multiple times. And so have you. Don’t need to pretend this is any different. Give credit where credit is due. But you don’t if it isn’t. That’s a recipe for mediocrity
-
Jackson back on the bench.
-
Josh
-
Sigh.
-
You can’t even see greatness when it’s in front of you.
-
Thank god JJ’s back in!
-
Minor sprain of the lower ankle??
-
Are you kidding me Bragg and more Bragg
-
I bet you thought Danny and the Miracles would lose in the second round too?
-
@DoubleDD you know there’s a reason the word “miracles” is in there right?
-
Josh!!!
-
Ankle is feelin just fine right now!
-
Think about it. a system doesn’t cut down the nets. A special team does. Happens every year.
-
4 point play coming up!
-
@DoubleDD oh okay. Well shit. I wonder why they didn’t call every team “somebody and the miracles”? Could it be perhaps that I like 90 plus percent of the rest of the world didn’t think that team would win the NC? Hmmm
-
What you don’t understand is this KU team isn’t great at anything. Yet they can look death in the eye and not blink. That is special. They’re tough.
-
That’s the start of his turnaround.
-
@DoubleDD I understand it very well… And have likened then to the 2012 team myself. Have said on several occasions. If were within a bucket or two with a minute to go I like our chances 90 percent of the time… but that does not mean you don’t work on getting better at your deficiencies
-
is it safe to come out now?
-
Does anyone know where Fisher gets his ugly pills?
-
You can’t see greatness because you worried about rebounds. Have you notice that even coach doesn’t give this team crap? In fact he defends them.
-
Opponents just aren’t intimidated by our team or AFH. All season the opponents have shot well and played well in AFH.
-
@jessejayhawk bad form. your remark was really ugly.
-
Actually this team is great at shooting threes.
-
You’re right. We shouldn’t strive for excellence. In all facets of the game. Idk why I think that.
-
@BShark Not past few weeks.
-
I agree, may we stop commenting on a player’s looks, He’s a freshman playing D1 ball. Let’s be respectful here, please.
-
-
A rare earned, hard foul - like to see it once it a while…
-
How many perfect teams has KU had and lost? I found it appalling that you has a fan don’t think this team doesn’t strive. Lets just drop it.
-
Rebounding and defense are so hard for this team
-
Svi - didn’t follow-up his shot nor did he get back - just kind of stood there. It came back his way and he could/should have gotten it to continue the possession…
-
Also Josh should have put in the lay-up instead of passing to Svi. Lay-up is about 95% compared to Svi a 40% 3pt shooter
-
Shooting % is even at 44%, but we are getting out rebounded by 8, 21 to 13
