Haha minnesota. HaHa idiot tournament committee who made the ground squirrels a 5 seed.
Maybe the committee got Wisconsin and Minnesota confused?
-
@approxinfinity They have a junior coach …
-
I had the VCU game on waiting for ISU & the heads said 61 fouls called in that game-AWFUL !bolded text
-
@globaljaybird
VCU asks for it.
-
@globaljaybird VCU got screwed with phantom fouls for sure.
-
ACC/east coast team getting every call against Badgers
-
They look awesome but I would think Adidas might have a problem since they pay KU a lot of money for the rights to use the logo and the last thing they want to see is the KU logo on a Nike shoe.
-
Looks like ISU will advance, Nevada can’t buy a stop. Burton is killing them
-
Bronson Koenig makes 8 three pointers bailing out Badgers. Nova next.
-
@wissox maybe the refs were making up for the NCAA screwing Virginia Tech out of a tourney berth for the last decade (particular Delaney/Allen years). Between that, the decimating injuries year after year, and surviving the lackluster Greenberg offense and the unqualified James Johnson years, fate has not been kind to the Hokies for a long time. Finally, with Buzz the future looks bright.
Grats to your Badgers! Hayes was deadly down the stretch. 8-9 from the line for a 56% (?) FT shooter. Beast mode. Hope our guys respond in a similar way when they find themselves on the line with the game in the balance.

Burton is a rascal. Nevada is pretty terrible on D though.

Best of luck.
-
@approxinfinity I like Buzz too. He’s a good coach and recruiter. They were tough. Nigel took over the game down the stretch. Yes FT’s are another way this Badger team mirrors the Jayhawks.
-
ISU looked really good for the most part, I thought Purdue was lucky. That could be a pretty interesting game.
-
ISU is going to kill Purdue. @KirkIsMyHinrich doesn’t know basketball very well.
-
Was I the only one to hear the NU/ISU talking head mention that ISU had beat KU in AFH in Kansas City? Man, watching AFH being moved along the turnpike would’ve been worth paying to see.
-
@brooksmd heard it too, played it back to make sure?
-
@JayHawkFanToo you’re probably right im a little fish though they’ll go after the maker
-
I don’t believe you are in any jeopardy. You can get permission from KU to use the logo in most everything, I.e. licensing. You have to provide samples for approval and make they make sure all the details, such as color, are correct and meets certain standards before granting licensing rights and you have to keep track of sales to pay royalties. The process is long and expensive and only pays if you are selling a fair amount. A friend of mine made wall hangings with the logo made out of carpet and went through the process so I am somewhat familiar with it.
Given that a sneaker with the KU logo would compete with its biggest licensor, I would be surprised if the grant a license, particularly if it is a Nike sneaker that directly competes with Adidas. Really nice sneaker regardless.
-
I rooted for UVM as well last night. I live in Southern Vermont! They played well, just came up short and the injury to Steidl didn’t help. I thought Ernie Duncan missed some bad attempts. Lamb is good enough to play for anyone though. He stays 4 years and he’s going to break a lot of records at the school
-
These days, some bigger program will try to get him for the final year via grad transfer…
-
He is a true freshman, unlikely he’ll be eligible for that exception unless something happens. Surprised he flew under the radar, he was one of the finalists for NY state player of the year last season.
-
Tarik Black graduated in three years right? So it is possible.
And yeah, looks like a big whiff on the recruiting services, known to happen from time to time. Appeared to be in the 300 range for rankings.
-
Good point, I guess it’s not impossible. I’m just stunned Lamb ended up at UVM. Always a solid American East school but Lamb is a definite step up in talent level from usual.
-
Interesting to think where Trey Burke or OG Anunoby would have ended up without the keen eye of Belein and Crean.
-
OG’s 247 profile, hilarious!

-
Oladipo, another!
-
I knew I was forgetting one. Crean has a GREAT eye for talent.
-
Definitely, someone will give him a job
-
I think he is well suited to a mid-major and that’s not a dig at him.
-
-
@JayHawkFanToo Yup it’s definitely a nike sneaker even came in the original nike box. I didn’t even think about the fact that it was a nike shoe when i ordered it I just saw Jayhawk shoes and said i want! Lol
That is a pretty thorough process to go through and I agree I doubt the school would grant the license to Nike.
-
@HawkInMizery He sells them as handcrafted unlicensed art pieces. Is the quality good? I had to order a pair too! Gameday shoes Ha
-
@dylans yeah that quality is great! I don’t see any noticeable flaws in them. I plan on having him make a Royals pair for me too now that these have come
-
@dylans if he just wears them in bed quality doesn’t really matter, bed sores?
