Game Day
-
Career game for NewMan, perfect timing
-
Cover?
-
I say yes
-
Bring on the purple goobers
-
@BShark Honestly, I don’t care if we win by 1 point. But, it looks over to me, and I think we’ll win by more than 6.
-
That was fun! More ways than one.
-
Good guys win, no threepeat, KU Steve-way to keep the faith man
-
HA. I was just kidding. I knew we’d win.
-
Bshark b wrong…lol.
-
Little redemption
-
I told you guy early on…we got this…

I think I need to predict a KSU win tomorrow.
-
Laughed about Hollys prognosis on Doke knee looking great jumping up from the bench to support the team
-
@DanR 3-peat! ?
-
Eat it
-
@BShark nice.
-
-
I can not explain how much I dont wanna lose to squeak and silo tech tomorrow, pretty solid outing outside of the first 8 minutes. Malik was great, Vick was defending superb, I think I counted 7 defections for him. Good for Mitch and Silvio to get PT, it wasnt always pretty but they need it.
-
@BShark Exactly…lol.
-
And Missouri loses. Pretttttay great
-
I wanted that W today more than any other this year. So glad we got it the way we did, with hard nosed defense.
-
Well the guys were talking before the game what we needed out of DeSousa & Lightfoot with Doke out - -they were saying if we could get like 12 & 12 - - 12 points and 12 rebounds between them then would be ok for that position - -well check… - -Nothing spectacular but solid.
Where is our boy that said Coach Self Can’t beat Oklahoma State and needs to adjust - - HOLLA at me -let me hear ya now lmao.
Like they said maybe in a way having Doke out for the Big 12 tourney - -might be a bonus for us come time for the NCAA give De Sousa playing time
Malik stepped up - -again they were talking about either Vick or Newman with Doke needed to step up – Step up he did - -we gonna need the same thing tomorrow too - -Cinch it up boys. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark Ya have to love that - - -they said wondered how it would mess with their team chemistry. - -oooops. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
When Okie State went on that 1st half run - -I think they said it was a 16-2 - -went up by 10 - -I thought - -WELP here we go - - AGAIN - -then I went and took my happy pills because the pain in my back was pretty stiff - -took my happy pills - -or otherwise known as Hydrocodone - - lol - -after they kicked in - -and BAM the game became a lot easier to watch lmao. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 now we know the rest of the story… glad you are happy?
-
@BShark - - LMAO, ummm remember what I said today about you being a party pooper - -Well SUZ-ZAMM double party pooper lol. - -Hey if you saying that is what it takes for us to win - -then please do my friend lol - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - -LOL - - yes still happy - -for probably just a little bit more lol. starting to wear off lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Love the Newman offense, 2nd half defense- excellent!!
-
@JayhawksandChill and good to see Vick show up and enjoying it!
-
@JayhawksandChill I like malik
-
Malik has been building towards a game like this for a while. If he stays consistently aggressive getting into the paint, that could change KU’s tournament trajectory. Newman is not a spot up jump shooter. I don’t understand why he tries to be, when he’s so dynamic getting to the rim.
-
@Buster-1926 Bshark is a great fan of KU. He prefers to be pleasantly surprised when we win. To each his own.

Part of it is this current team. I wasn’t surprised when the 97, 02, 03, 08, 10, 11 etc… teams won.
-
@BShark We don’t have the talent or the depth we normally have, but doesn’t mean it’s not possible. 1988 was the Alpha/Omega on that …a 6 seed. I was watching newman today, and thinking…where has that been? I almost think we’ve spent so much time getting Doke his looks, we’ve neglected our best play maker.
-
@KUSTEVE Necessity breeds invention. Even with the 4 out 1 in you know Self loved it when Doke was fed. And to be fair he set the conference record for fg%. If Malik can keep it up and Doke gets healthy enough, this team could be pretty dangerous.
-
That 1988 team was simply a left over shell of a great team, and Danny. I mean, they had practically nothing beyond Danny. Chris Piper, Milt Newton and the rest were left over spare parts from the days of Calvin Thompson, Kellog, and the bunch. It’s possible.
-
@BShark I think today showed we can feed the post by letting Newman drive to the lane. A good back screen can work just as good as a dunk.
-
We out scored them in the post.
-
I just hope Newman keeps it up. His drives lead to good results usually and OSU is pretty athletic.
-
Texas?
-
@KUSTEVE 1988
-
@KUSTEVE Sorry, 6 seed. But we had 11 losses, so that is what sticks in the memory.
-
@mayjay that’s right.
-
@mayjay 1988. I need an editor.
-
-
@BShark they seem to have a knack in winning games. not saying they do it pretty. but they get the job done.
-
@KUSTEVE We all do!
-
@mayjay I am flat exhausted tonight. I looked at the 2008 reference, and thought to myself…“self, you’re acting 57 tonight”.
-
NEW-MAN-IA…is contagious, catch it.
-
I’m still just so Impressed with how well Silvio played. That game by him yesterday was so important when it comes to us winning a championship.
