Texas Tech Red Raiders - Tuesday - 8 pm - ESPN
-
This is a must win game for KU. I have a Tech. as my Conference sleeper team and they have good stats and a deeper rotation, the big advantage for KU is Doke for whom they have no match.
-
Welp haven’t heard a peep today soo guess NO BILLY AGAIN tonight. - -Damm, this is getting so old, looking less and less every day. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well something has to give I heard, Ku best in the big 12 in offensive fields - -TT best defensively, TT best in defending the 3 in the Big 12, - -TT plus 9 in rebounding - - -Really defend the 3.
A/the big picture - -how they going to defend our big Boy Doke-they have nobody to match up with him. - Could bring their 6’11 boy just not sure how he competes against Doke . - Another big question - -how is Doke’s back- how is he going to hold up? - Sounds like he might still be sore - -that’s NOT GOOD.
Yet still nothing on Billy , I think he is a lost cause guys - -hopefully De Sosua get’s cleared soon - -we are going to have to have him for sure down the road.
I know crazy but IF in the end run Billy doesn’t get ever cleared. - -Would it be feasible to at least try and work our walk a little bit more for you know just some spot minutes for Doke- - along with Mitch? - -Give us yet that other body if nothing else to relieve Doke for even 2-3-4 minutes in case of foul trouble - I dunno - -just grasping.
One thing again KU has made 146 three ball’s - -TT ha only given up 86 all year. - -Coach Self says this will be the best defensive team we will play all year period.
One kind of a funny note - - Doke finally has found someone that shoots worse Ft % then him - Zach Smith -well wait let me re-phrase -right there with Doke anyways - -Zach shoots 42.9 - -gonna be a very hard game - -buckle up, strap it on - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Texas Tech actually gives up less then Texas only allowing an average of 58 points a game. Coach says best rebounding team we have faced to date. - -Gonna be a war. - -ROCK CHALK AL L DAY LONG BABY
-
Gray averages 5.6 ppg and shoots 12.5% from 3. He already has two 3’s and 8 points.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich always
-
Figures. KU has this bad habit of giving one visiting player a career day.
-
Tech has gotten away with 2 obvious moving screens already. I thought that was a point of emphasis this season.
KU’s got to be tougher fighting through screens and on the boards.
-
They got some momentum and gave it right back…
-
Just not a defensive minded group. Three straight times Tech got to the rim for a layup. This is why offense doesn’tget you to the final four folks.
-
We look really bad! Wonder what they did for New Year’s Eve? This might be the worst game I’ve seen, but I’m not giving up.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not a disciplined group same as last year’s squad. Too often gets out toughed and out hustled.
-
Are the officials playing a game where they see how long they can go without someone calling a reaching foul on Tech?
-
the boys are getting taken to the proverbial shed tonight
-
Dg getting to cute
-
Obvious foul. Why can’t you call reaching fouls? Wow.
-
just getting out played in every phase of the game. - -50/50 balls going to the floor for loose balls, – -rebounding, - -fricken turnovers, - really bad shots selection. - Newman shouldn’t see the floor the rest of the game
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich 3 comments implying bad reffing. You really think the refs are causing this debacle? They are reffing much better than KU is playing!
-
Just no toughness or poise. Doke is the shortest footer I’ve seen in a while, or TT has folks with reach who can disrupt. Vick doesn’t have enough strength with the ball.
-
just getting beat every phase -getting beat by 10 on the boards – Ku 10 turnover at the half - -TT 49% - KU 46% - - points off to’s 17-4 TT – pretty well sums it up
-
Tech is +10 in rebounds and getting almost 50% of their misses with 9 offensive rebounds in 19 chances (KU has 10 defensive boards). This is an effort issue more than anything else on defense. Somebody has to want to play defense and motivate the rest of the team because whatever Self and staff have told them repeatedly clearly isn’t working

Always easier to blame the officials - every reason but the REAL reason - JUST PLAYING LIKE CRAP
-
Vick has 2 pts and 0 bds.
-
How many TOs?
-
Someone po’d Doke!
-
@truehawk93 10?
-
10 so far…
-
Good gawd, it’s HACK A HAWK
-
@mayjay I think it’s really stupid to excuse bad officiating because Kansas is playing poorly. Reaching fouls are reaching fouls and moving screens are moving screens.
-
Walked
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich And missing the point is missing the point.

I’m not the one playing the game here, pal. It doesn’t matter if my focus is on KU’s poor play or bad officiating. So I don’t think I’m the one missing the point here. Thanks for counting my posts, though.
-
bottom line KU is just getting the hell beat out of them on the boards. - you GOT to get a stop - you can’t just keep trading baskets. Here we go again - another case where on the year a team shoots like crap at the line all year and then they play us and lights out
-
Montie Morris
-
think about this , this will be the 3rd time this year we will have been what’s considered our home floor
-
even when we play a zone they get the drive and get fouled this is sure not like our teams of previous yeas
-
Dokes got so much to learn and he’s not tough- yet
-
Svi just not having a good game.
-
Svi and Vick both still stink. Done can’t guard passes on the ground.
We are pussies.
-
Big 12 teams are drooling!
-
Got an early morning - I’m not going to stay up and watch undisciplined basketball. Multitude of reasons for this down year but recruiting wiffs are chief among them.
-
@betterfireE offensive minded players = soft
-
We have been dominated from the start, this is by far one of our worst teams in some time
-
Would help if we had billy in the lineup
-
Maybe Newman CAN finish.
-
They aren’t quitting though!
-
Gut check time. Let’s see how badly they want to win.
-
Can’t miss
-
I’ve missed the entire game due to a meeting. Should I turn it on, start from the beginning or be glad I didn’t see it?
-
@dylans don’t watch from beginning
