So Something Is Up With Preston (Not Playing Tonight)
-
Could self possibly have more integrity for sitting him? And could Billy possibly be more of an imbecile? What a colossal dunce. I love our coach for doing what is right no matter what. I hope Doke beats the living sh*t out of Preston after the game.

@kjayhawks There’s a walk on TE that played JuCo ball and averaged 19 and 10 I think. The kid is 6-7, 260 so he could some game day depth in the paint for Self if needed.
Ya they was talking about him earlier in the month - -had an article on him - Coach better have some try outs for sure - -we need a big body to at least spell Doke from foul trouble. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Almost have to run some zone d tonight. Kentucky is not a great shooting team either so maybe it works.
-
@jayballer54 @BShark garret is laughing his way all the way to the scorers table…cuz he gets to check in for more PT since his fellow freshman is AWOL again.

I hope Doke beats the living sh*t out of Preston after the game. Thing is Coach really didn’t have a choice BUT to sit him. - - I agree with you but from what I am hearing and understanding KU wants to get a better financial status on how Billy got the car? - - who’s Car was it? - can’t take a chance and play him and then find out because of this he was ineligible that would not be good,
I’m so sick and tired of these kids not manning up. they have to realize that it’s not just effecting him - -it’s effecting the team - -man grow up. - -A single car accident - was he Drunk? or other what caused this single car accident I mean Damm. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 That is why I want Doke to kick the crap out of him. Selfish pre madonna

YES exactly, that’s what I mentioned just a couple of minutes ago. - Diallo is the only one that I’ve seen so far that can possibly hit that shot consistently - the others here and there, I bet we see a lot of Zone. - -We have to to try and stay on the Boards - -help to keep Doke out of trouble - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Diallo is a terrible shooter it kept him out of last year’s draft. However anyone can get hot so who knows.
-
$35, a real good deal
-
It appears that Billy drives a Dodge Charger. So, at least a believable vehicle? Hopefully this crap gets sorted soon but I’m not hopeful given that it shouldn’t take long to see who owns a vehicle…
-
@BShark Now to top off this Nighmare - - -Looks like we get to listen to Dickie V all fricken game - -my night is complete - -dam. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Nightmare now is how we are playing…
-
@DCHawker it’s like we forgot how to pass and shoot. Looks like a friggin middle school. So undisciplined.
We really needed Billy this year. That would really, really hurt. So sick of stuff happening that keeps us from having a full roster. Fortunately, wehave a good chance at de sousa
-
KU shooting 34.2% from the field and 26.7% from 3. Amazing tha KU is ahead shooting this poorly; had the shot close to their average and is a double digit game.
-
If you tuned in at halftime and listened to the announcers, you would think KU was losing by 20.
-
@HawkChamp Awful shot selection - esp. Graham and Newman.
-
This acts like they’ve never been coached the basics. Enough to make you pull your hair out. How atrocious
-
They have had wide open looks and have not converted and now there is no rebounding.
-
When do the coaches tell Newman to be smarter on those drives? Yes not going to score one on three. Good grief
-
@HawkChamp Wonder what they’ve been practicing. A bunch of 23 ft jumpers and out of control drives. Newman has been awful. No one has played well.
-
Svi is still unathletic, Graham is good but not great, Newman is delusional. Maybe Garrett can balance the team. Ugh, Vick still can’t play defense well enough.
-
Who is worse? Newman or Vick? I thought Newman would learn a thing or two from Frank Mason. Perhaps he’s just early Frank Mason right now.
-
@HawkChamp That’s what Frank Mason looked like for the better part of 3 seasons at Kansas. He really didn’t start figuring out how to drive and pass until pretty late into his ju lot season.
-
Newman has got to stop driving 1 on 3…
-
For not having any subs not looking to shabby, against a really tall team.
-
Where are our good shooters? This is a pathetic display of shooting. Wow
-
Garrett is a defensive revelation. Relefordation.
-
Atrocious shooting - outside of the big guys 5 dunks, we’re 18 of 59 from the field…
-
Malik!
-
Graham is no Mason when it comes to end of clock creation.
-
That’s where we miss Frank - Graham doesn’t have the same ability to drive and get his own shot off. End of possession plays will be an issue…
-
@DCHawker eh, that’s not the issue. It’s much larger than that.
-
Why does Azubuike not cover the backside for the rebound there? Look at where the shot is from. Azubuike was at the front of the rim!
-
Rock chalk!! Come on billy need another guy
-
That was way too close for comfort. The one positive is that KU can shoot poorly and still beat a quality opponent, this will not happen every time so the team better not get too cocky because next time it might not be so lucky.
-
That was ugly. We have a long way to go.

YA we do - - BUT on the other side of it - look at it this way we shoot 35% from the field, and Devonte go 3-14 from the filed -1-6 from 3 pt terrible from the free throw line - minus Preston, Really only 6 players tonight & STILL find a way to win.
We have just got to get Preston Back and hopefully get De-Sousa - get us some depth on that front line -Thankfully Doke didn’t get in foul trouble - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
We need Billy no question after tonight, Mitch got a steal that was batted into his lap in about 7minutes of play.
-
Missed you guys in chat. I think Malik will be better at hero ball if he adds a floater and better shot selection but Devonte might perfect the drive and kick.
-
Neither one will be Frank but they can each take half of him.
-
@KUSTEVE have to make open shots, which I thought is what these guys were good at.
-
Tiny update. Staff didn’t know about the car deal until today. He should be back shortly.
-
@FarmerJayhawk why should he be back soon?
-
Short answer, it’s a clerical thing with a temp tag on the car.
-
Man, watching cal in the post game interview. What a dick.
-
He always gripes about freshman but that’s all he wants.
-
@DanR so different than Self.
-
Bill Self says KU spent all day trying to get Billy Preston matter settled. “I’m proud of Billy. He was a great teammate on the bench. Our guys will rally around him. But certainly it was disappointing — very disappointing.”
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not Cal’s fault for having a young team, LOL

Great to hear.
