Thursday Night games.
-
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.
-
@wissox I do. And definitely not two Kansas teams. And they do not want Loyola to win another game. This is basically the perfect distance for a Cinderella as far as ratings. Basically if it isn’t Blue Bloods or upper echelon teams in the FF, ratings drop significantly.
-
To be honest I really don’t know who to root for at times. I definitely don’t want see Cal to get another FF or NC but I feel the winner of this one sleep walks to the NC. In terms of KSU if by some grace of God himself they make the FF or win the darn thing that all we will hear about for the rest of all of our lifetimes.

Loyola thanks you for your service.
-
I love Loyola against KSU. Loyola could make the FF if KSU wins tonight.
-
Michigan played really well earlier and Gonzaga is also very good.
-
I just hope whomever wins this game losses to Loyola
-
@JayHawkFanToo Michigan played amazing. Should come back down to Earth Saturday. But I also think it was a mix of them playing great and us seeing the TAMU that we saw all season long. Good enough to beat anyone, bad enough to get curb stomped by anyone.
-
Who do you guys think refs want to win the KSU Uk game?

Gonzaga might just lose to FSU.
-
KSU’s start to this half has me opening a bottle of saké, good grief.
-
@Blown zero chance KSU wins this game
-
ya too bad. they played good d first half. but kentucky has better ft offense.
-
Well the UK losing talk was fun but this things over, UK probably blows this wide open in the next 5 minutes and gets Cal to the NC without playing a team with a decent seed.
-
hard to stay composed when you have to play zebras also
