Other Games Tonight
-
Was watching Indiana and Arkansas game. Interested in seeing Romeo. He got his points but not impressed w their offense. Reminds me of AZ - must run in the family. Neither team looked good. No offensive plays for Romeo - no sets or isolation for him. BS knows how to scheme his talent and his team strengths - eg Doke. I get why he chose IU, but he’s not playing for a winner. Lots of standing around on the wing. No motion. But he is good.

@StLJhawk He’ll be back. I miss his posts.

Kentucky is worse than KU defending the 3, VMI just broke the record for 3s at Rupp.

Yes but…it’s VMI…
-
Put it another way. They are ranked 311 on Kenpom
-
Not that we didn’t just struggle against 309…

No? Louisiana and Vermont are in the 120 range.

Right I know was meaning anything negative or being a smart as - - I just didn’t knw , watched just a little bit of it
Dam Villanova AND Syracuse both fell completely out of the top 25 — ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Watched most of San Diego State vs Duke. Lots of frustration on the faces of the SDSU players for fouls on minor stuff. Duke is good and free throws didn’t win the game, but there wasn’t much continuity.
Note: seems like every game today, the big men were setting screens with legs wide apart, but no calls…
-
I just said UK is worse than KU defending the 3. If not for all that height VMI could have won. UK will be killed by competent teams that can shoot the 3.

Refs helping out Arizona against ISU at the end here.

Oh wow, I thought ISU was going to coast to a win. Unfortunate.
-
I don’t care that much except for a strong big12 is good for KU. There have been 3 total head scratching calls that has Walton, normally an arizona supporter baffled.
-
Arizona is one of the few schools I always cheer against. Plus I do like Prohm.
-
There’s no one in KC watching TTech/USC
-
@jaybate-1-0 has been spending the last month writing his next post.
-
@wissox In the words of @stupidmichael, ”I’m scared!”
-
If you get a chance, ISU-ILL. Bill Walton and Jason Benetti on the Mic. Benetti is a great straight man to Walton. ESPN2 right now. Good game too.

ya I’ve been watching this game – Benetti doing a good job putting up with Walton - -firing jabs right back lol- -Walton is a mess , sometimes he ACTUALLY can be funny at least a little bit - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Interested to see Duke and Auburn getting ready to tip. Auburn is a top 10 team so hoping to see a close game and how Duke responds to that.
Really hoping to get Duke and Zags tomorrow even though Zags are without Tillie.
-
The same Indiana team that whipped Marquette is in a game with UT Arlington…
-
How is it possible Duke has 13 pts off free throws but Auburn is 0/0?

Really not hard to figure out why that it how it is. - -When you just continue to jack up 3’s - you just become jump shooters settling for that- -your NOT gonna get a lot of three throws. - -Mean while back at the Ranch - -Duke is inside/outside. - -you have to at least attempt to get the ball inside.
It’s gonna take a really storm almost perfect performance have that chance to beat them. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Benetti is a White Sox announcer. I get to listen to him and Steve Stone all baseball season. He’s an amazing up and coming announcer. Has cerebral palsy too.
-
TCU down 8 to Lipscomb with 12 minutes to go
-
@jayballer73 - I thought Auburn attacked more than the free throw discrepancy indicated. Auburn put up only 7 more 3’s than Duke. Duke was gifted that game at the FT line - by 18. Lots of (Luau) home cooking…
-
Duke had a 34-9 free throw advantage and Auburn didn’t play close to their best game. And Duke still only won by 6. It won’t take a perfect game to beat Duke, just a good one.

Now see Auburn goes inside 2 times here in the 2nd half gets fouls 4 points – they were down 13 - -and that’s the difference of the game 13 points
Well just looking at it differently I guess it’s ok - -If you were listening to Jay though he was say the same exactly thing - -jacking up a lot of three’s especially in the 1st half. - - your not going to get free throws that way - -also the three’s led out to a lot of breakout situations for Duke - in the 1st half - - 2nd half Auburn starts driving the ball more kick out much better. - I was hoping for the upset - -just not to be.

@Woodrow - -they represented the Big 12 well - -they got beat - - DDAM. – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Just turned on the Gonzaga game and saw a Dos Equis commercial with Les Miles !
-
Dos Equis - official beer of the KU football team!
-
@Gorilla72 Part of the stadium upgrade.
-
@Gorilla72 Hey, if Dos Equis had been the official KU football beer in the mid '80s, maybe the tag line could’ve been “Keep it Bob Valesente” ?

Only 13? Duke will want its money back.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Auburn kept jacking up threes. Also, the refs missed a couple of flagrant fouls.
-
Nice comeback by the Zags, but they better not come out slow like that against Duke. Coach K’s guys already got their scare (such as it was) tonight from Auburn, and should be ready.
-
Texas Tech takes the well regarded Cornshuckers to the woodshed, winning by 18.
-
@nwhawkfan Yes, strange 34 free throws from Dook and only 9 from Auburn but no one alive will bat an eye at it. Now if it was KU it would be all over the front page about how officials made errors in the game.
-
@kjayhawks Auburn doesn’t drive the lane. From what I saw, I didn’t see any swallowed whistles. I only watched the last 10 minutes, though. Auburn plays outside the perimeter.
-
@KUSTEVE I didn’t watch but it really dont matter if it was KU there would an uproar regardless. Checking the box score Auburn did shoot more 3s by 7 but they shot more 2s than Dook.
-
I’m still pissed about the game stolen by puke in Hawaii. Sure Tyshawn turned it over a bunch but the last one which gave Duke a chance to win was because a duke player tripped him. Of course no call. Then a duk player takes about 4 steps with the ball before the kid makes the miracle shot from the corner. I hate that team.
-
Wow. Nebraska was #26 and #24 in the two main polls, great win for Tech. and the conference.
-
@JayHawkFanToo They really handled them the 2nd half. That makes Tech 5-0.
-
When Wigginton and Lard get back, Iowa St. is going to be a problem. THT, Jacobson, and Shayok are good. They killed Illinois yesterday. They should have beaten Arizona.
Texas Tech was just slept on by most to start the season. They’re well coached. Jarrett Culver looks to have improved a lot. Matt Mooney is an underrated transfer. They should be in the Top 25 next week.
Oklahoma just beat Florida.

that’s what I’ve been trying to say to. = - - - - Your not going to get fouled a lot when you settle for nothing but 3 pointers - -which they did a lot - more so in the 1st half then the 2nd - -very little driving the ball , really didn’t see a lot of bad calls. You shoot all those outside you just make it easier for the defense
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich You are right about ISU. They beat SDS by 20. With OU’s win over FLA. and Tech playing well…B12 is looking better than I thought they would. TCU losing to Lipscomb is bad, though.
