Kansas Jayhawks vs Baylor Bears Game Chat Fri. 1/16 7:00 CT

Exhausting drive in snow to Minnesota so I got to listen instead of watch. Black ice and cars off the road is about the same time KU was skidding off the lead. Roads improved same time KU improved. 2 guys on fire and no one else remotely close to on fire it sounds like. Hope my Bears do better than Baylors version on Sunday!
-
Totally not a game-related comment ... but i think Gus Johnson and Jimmy Jackson are now my favorite announcing duo. Head and shoulders above the rest IMO. Excellent back and forth, with JJ providing solid insight.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk they were definitely having fun!
-
Carr and Yesoufoo are about as good a pair of guards as we've seen this year. Tiller was very good in the first 15 of the game. Giving Baylor credit for taking the 1 point lead in the first. Tre took good shots and no air balls they just didn't fall. Baylor matched up pretty well with us. Our big guys with 8 blocks and the team with only 4 turnovers and 8 steals.

@crimsonblu22 they actually rooted for Kansas players who were doing well! No secret anti KU or pro some other team agenda and no trying to be polite bc they went to KU and no pumping espn talking points. What a difference!
-
Two straight really strong performances. But we have to show we can win on the road. The next two road games at CU and KSU are critical. We have a really difficult back-end schedule. Only games remaining after those in which KU would be clear favorite are Utah, KSU, and Cincy at home. Maybe ASU on the road, but they aren't pushovers, having beaten Texas, OK and Santa Clara, and just a lost a close road game at Arizona. The other games are two against Arizona, BYU, TTU, ISU, Houston, and a road game at OSU. None of those will be easy games, even at AFH.

Carr is another case of it being hard to judge the portal. Over two years, he had scored a total of 42 points in 102 minutes while at Tennessee.

I always wonder why but it's too easy to think disgruntled so it's probably PT or NIL mostly. Anyway give Baylor credit for playing hard to the end and give credit to the Jays for engaged heads up play and the effort is warm and fuzzy. Guys are talking on the court and the bench I love that. AJ Storr looks like a completely different player for Ole Miss 13 PPG 39% from deep.

I can't sleep now. That's a lie.

Gus Johnson is generally fine, but if your team is playing against MSU or UM he can't help but hide his bias.
-
What a fun Friday night!!! We've watched teams enough to know that we are fortunate to see Coach build the identity of what he wants and getting the results from the players. They have finally figured out how to play with DP rather than watching DP. For all the chatter about him earlier, he now seems to be poised to skyrocket into the stratosphere with endorsements out the wazoo if he continues on this path. Going into a hostile environment will amp up pressure to stop him and his cunningness will shine. Can't wait to watch!

Since KU's next game is Tues at 10PM Central ESPN, I'll be able to tell the general age of those few of you who post during that late night game. I vaguely remember staying up to midnight and then sleeping like a baby afterwards.
-
Now I'm thinking Bill is into coaching this team and the wheels are turning and one of these games he's gonna say "I think they have figured it out among themselves and want to dominate on both ends."
-
Now that's a good take. I'm old and it's cold and she wants me to be her heater. I'll get up at 1 or 2 and watch it probably.
