According to Vegas, KU is a 2 point favorite against TCU.

Watching OU vs WV. Carter is kicking ass first half!
-
WV and Okla going about like what I expected so far. - -Carter getting into Young’s head.
Mr Carter sayin welcome to the Big 12 Trae , you bring your big boy britches? - cause I’m gettin ready to school ya.
As you know I’m haven’t slobbered all over Trae, But yes he is a VERY VERY good player. - Plus I will say this there has been a couple of times that I saw Trae GOT MUGGED down right mugged.
However Javon is all in Trae’s head. - - Javon 14 points - -7 rebounds & 6 assists - -almost a triple double in the 1st half. - You don’t think he took this as a personal challenge - hearing about Trae all year - Trae this - -Trae that, you got to love the guy One Javon is one hell of a player he is always in your shorts.
Got a 2nd half to go see if Kruger comes up something to help Trae - cause there is no way around it right now - -Trae is frustrated for sure - but got the 2nd half to go. - Trae won’t face this kind of defensive pressure the rest of the year I don’t think. - - Big thing is I don’t care how good Trae is – -Javon - -SENIOR - - -Trae - still a Freshman. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

KICKED . - -I will admit though there has been a couple of times Trae just flat got mugged. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
tHuggins and the Mountaineers always give a “spirited” effort.
-
Some of those Trae acted like he got mugged, just got stripped doing something obvious.
-
@Jayballer54 ya there were a couple blatant fouls that weren’t called first half. Like the Refs are telling Trae. “welcome to big12 road life son”

Ya I don’t even want to think about OUR game up there this year. - -I just think Javon was tired about hearing about Trae - but still a 2nd half to go - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I expect the team will play to win for a lot of reasons. I have asked myself what it feels like to be the KU team that many other teams refused? This team has got to play for all the other teams that fought to keep this nightmare from coming to a conclusion. Some think they might rebound, pun intended. Some think they may suffer loses much like the 1988 team, and maybe follow the path of Danny and the Miracles. Wouldn’t it be ironic if KU played OU again? And won…again. Some have a horrible fear they may just fall off the top 25, and enter the NCAA tourney all low seed. I don’t care who you are, but for KU to be a 6-9 seed and a 1-4 to play them, would still be scary, because they are KU and capable of going ape shit on any team. You can say what you want about KU’s seed regardless of how low they are (even 10-12), but you know most of the higher seeds will definitely see them as super dangerous. Is this what it’s going to take for this team to wake up and play their hearts out, and survive? I think maybe. KU was ranked 7 in preseason 16 wk 8 Not ranked wk 9, swept by OU in Conf play, and beat them in the NC game.
Final B8 standings:
OU 12-2
Kstate 11-3 (I would see WVU in this line)
KU 9-5
27-11 and 9-5 in conference play. I think we would all say this was ugly today. We weren’t the B8 Champs, hell we didn’t even win the B8 tourney.
But we won the NC. Anything is possible. But who’da thunk this team would do what they did against the odds then?
-
@approxinfinity couple the defender grabbed clear around his body. We would want that call for any of our guys anywhere the game was I think
-
Is Kadeem Lattin a 6th year senior? Feels like forever.

YA he flat got mugged a couple of times - - other times - not so much - -welcome to the real world of the Big 12 Javon says - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
WV looks sleepy coming out of the half. Here comes OU.
-
Young is finding a groove. Can’t throw lazy passes without checking where he is WV.

look out - -Doesn’t Carter have 3 fouls now? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
And yet another ranked team goes down # 22 Arkansas losses. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
WVU hasn’t ran good offense this half yet I don’t think. Ugly
-
4th on Carter…
-
They are talking about something I noticed every game. - -If you watch Trae he won’t play Defense a lot in the game - -the announcers are talking about it how he won’t play defense in the 1st half afraid to get in foul trouble.
Man is that the right approach? A coaching staff working and telling him it’s ok not to play the defense in the 1st half? - -I don’t know, - -if your the other players on the team ya think they tell them it’s ok to take a break on the defensive end so you don’t pick up a foul in the 1st half? - I’m sure they don’t. I’m not sure how well that would work on team chemistry?
We will see now what WV is made of they in deep doo - Carter with his 4th foul - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Jayballer54 Fran says it’s ok to play No D for Trae

Well one thing you can take to the bank when West Virginia plays you can almost bet if your on TV same channel they are your going to be missing the 1st part of your game. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Doesn’t KU lead the nation in number of first have minutes not televised due to previous televised contests?
-
Svi is torching the net.
-

Wow, the one time someone tries to feed Mitch–Malik slips making the pass. Nice block earlier and taking the charge on other end, ML. Too bad he isn’t important.
-
@wissox I’ve logged in there a couple of times, the delay on my feed resulted in me seeing too many spoilers
-
@mayjay watch the end of duke game
-
Can Malik Newman just sit out the rest of the game?
-
Can someone tell me WHY we start falling behind when Newman gets in the game. When he is on the bench, we seem to get ahead by 10-12 pts. But I’ve noticed when he gets in the game, the other team seems to cut the lead to single digits.
-
Looks like Vick began where he ended…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wowzie!
-
@truehawk93 He’s a ball rotation killer on offense and non existent on defense.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Thank you. I wanted to hear it from someone else. He seems to be panicking or trying to prove himself unnecessarily. He’s a head case.
-
Newman’s strength just might be attacking the rim. I think he could actually make a living from the FT line.
-
Observations today:
Unless the Chiefs are playing a team from Houston in the playoffs, bet on them to lose.
Trae Young is the best offensive player in the country, but he’s also OU’s only offensive threat. OU also does not play any defense.
Duke also does not play a lick of defense this year.
Missouri, the end of that game was enjoyable.
Kansas really needs Texas A&M to stop their free fall so KU can get another quality non-conference win at the end of this month.
-
@truehawk93 Newman is still in his MSU mindset of thinking he has to carry a team when he’s on the floor, I think.

This post is deleted!

I’m sorry but this TCU team is not that good. But unfortunately, KU isn’t either right now and making TCU look better than they really are at this point.

FTs

Looks like KU decided not to win this game.

Mitch…deciding to play tonight.
-
The ref’s vote on that call?
-
Dg faked himself out
-
TOs, TOs, and more TOs

KU needs to bare down now, and hard to win this game.
