Thursday Night games.
-
I think whoever wins the UK vs. KSU game is going to be FF bound… Crazy Loyola has been able to be so damn clutch.
Can’t believe Nevada played that possession straight up down 1.
-
Way to go Loyola! Hope I’m not jinxing them!
-
@wissox I would just throw the ball into the backcourt.
-
That right there is definitely one of the reasons they need to fix the end of game scenarios. Fouling intentionally is dangerous. Besides the fact the game is basically unwatchable.
-
Sister Jean rushing the court!
-
3 wins by a total of 4 points. Beat Kentucky! or Silo Tech!
-
This is what makes this tournament so great!
-
Loyola used the entire clock in just about every possession and most of the baskets were layups. Very disciplined system team. Impressive win.
-
I looked up Custer, and found this:
“After sitting out the 2015–16 season per National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) transfer rules, Custer immediately joined the Ramblers’ starting lineup, allowing star Milton Doyle to play off the ball.”
Was that our Milton?
-
@KUSTEVE Yep.
-
@mayjay Small world.
-
If I am going to root for Silo Tech, will I have to beat my head against the wall to lower my IQ, in order to be a Grape Ape for a night?
-
@KUSTEVE Did OK, too. Not sure we call him a Jayhawk if he left and never played. Evan Maxwell? The 'Stache? are they part of “us”?

-
@mayjay I wasn’t trying to spark a debate…lol. I simply wanted to know if that was the same Milton Doyle that was with us for a short time.
-
Sister Jean pulls it out again! Crazy, fun game and a team I hope makes the FF beating one of the Mildcat teams,
-
Lol KSU playing out of their minds to start. UK will get frustrated if they can keep playing tough D like this. Knox was unreal from that short corner the first two rounds. I’m confident KSU will do everything they can to take that away from him tonight.
-
@Kcmatt7 Great start for KSU but now it looks like they’ll go on their text book 8 minute scoring drought. I feel if that happens they could be in trouble, they simply don’t have the fire power to come back most the time (they did against us in the B12 semis but then followed it with another drought).
-
Early in the season UNC beats Michigan 86-71.
Last Sunday A & M beats UNC by 21.
Tonight Michigan Beats A & M by 22.
That’s a 58 point improvement.
-
@wissox That is groundbreaking math. I think you should publish a paper on it.
-
@Kcmatt7 That would be one short paper because that’s all I got.
-
Wade looks to be about 25 percent for kstate
-
@DanR Still drawing fouls at least.
-
@wissox “The Spherical Dual Opposition Paradoxal Analysis Postulation Theory.”
-
Article in the Chicago Tribune about Weber today. Gives you a good perspective on the much maligned (at least on these pages) coach. He’s one of 10 coaches to take 3 different teams to the Sweet 16. He’s taken KState to 4 NCAA tournaments. When he was a young up and comer in Wisconsin he was invited by Gene Keady to come to W. Kentucky for an interview. Bruce drove all the way there, about 9 hours, and Keady had forgot! In fact he was out of the country. When he returned Weber called him and Keady hired him over the phone, and a 21 year coaching relationship had begun. Gave me some appreciation for Bruce. Maybe not as bad as we’d thought!
-
Ksu just needs to jack threes and hope U.K. keeps shooting 5%
-
@wissox I actually think Bruce gets too much slack, but most of it he brings upon himself with stupid quotes. He is a good coach. But he has an ego complex and needs people to know it and that just rubs people the wrong way.
-
@wissox I don’t mind Weber. Gives it everything he has, which is a bit limited. Probably inspires mediocre players to play above their talent too.
-
One thing I don’t like is our nickname for him.
-
@wissox Squeaky or Liberace? Not worth too much creativity until he makes the rivalry relevant nationally.
-
@wissox Idk. I see the resemblance
.
They both definitely look good in purple.
-
Refs keeping Kentucky in this
-
Hope KState can survive all these fouls.
-
Weber has proven he can coach talent but has lacked massively in developing it. This years team is the exception not the rule, He will have no excuses not to win the conference next year, they return every single player that plays on this.
-
I hate that the “best refs” grade wise are typically the refs that call the most fouls.
-
Ok, refs. You seem dialed in now
-
Man, I hate rooting for kstate. They should be up 20
-
This is the most I’ve ever cheered for Silo Tech. Easier for me maybe since I didn’t grow up or ever even lived in Kansas except my KU years.
-
@wissox if only we could all be that lucky…
-
The amount of fouls called is getting absolutely absurd.
-
Hay Zues.
-
@Kcmatt7 Starting to get one sided too.
-
23 freebies for uk in one half. So far. Thanks refs!
-
Of all the games that I would predict a “fix” to be in on by the NCAA it would be this game. As far as TV ratings go.
-
@Kcmatt7 You think the execs would like a Kentucky Loyola matchup for TV? I do.
-
Refs came to play tonight (for UK).
-
I don’t want to hear Calipari say he gets bad matchups and bad calls. If not for the refs this game is not even close.
-
Refs shut this game down when ksu was up 13-1 and uk couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. Carrying the ball call on brown, then every possible foul, making it a free throw contest ( which ksu failed)
Bleh
-
Every time UK gets the margin down KSU has pushed it back up this game is incredible.

Complete joke!
-
On better news, Coach Self said Doke will be playing unrestricted.
