Other Games Tonight
-
@DCHawker the conference is not very good this year.
-
It’s almost like KU carries the banner for this clown conference every year.
-
Big 12 is a mixed bag at this point. KState, West Virginia have disappointed, but Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Oklahoma have exceeded expectations. Iowa St, especially, when they are healthy will not be a fun team to play against.
-
In all fairness, Marquette missed 7 of its last 9 FTs including 6 in a row at the end of the game and did it’s best to give the game away and Wisconsin just did not capitalize. Happ is a stud.
-
TCU is going to be pretty good as well and yesterday destroyed USC by 35 points.
-

@wissox Thoughts on that offensive foul on Happ’s tip in?
FWIW, I thought the call was justified. The view from above showed a forearm shove that gave Happ his uncontested path to the rebound.
-
Nubs beat Creighton.
One time KU target Thomas Allen went for 18/5/4/1/1 with no turnovers.
-
@BShark It was the flukest Elite 8 run in the history of basketball.

It was fluky, but flukiest?
Counterpoint: VCU
-
Shaka is still cashing checks based on that one run. Just unreal.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Exceeding expectations is relative. OU and TTU have a couple of decent wins each, but other than KU’s wins over MSU and Tennesses and UT’s over UNC, the B12 is lacking top 20 types of victories. B10 and ACC are way ahead in quality wins at this point…
-
@BShark G Mason.
-
-
The Big 10 is 9-2 for the weekend, the ACC 3-3 with only the Notre Dame-UCLA game left, the Big 12 is 4-2.
-
@BShark I don’t thinks it’s the flukiest top 5 maybe, KSU really only had to play UK to that point and really should’ve made the final four. George Mason and VCU were flukiest. VCU is probably number 1 because no one even had them in the tournament to start with.

DCHawker said:
@Woodrow Bad loss for KSU and the B12. Tulsa lost to SIU, Nevada and Utah. Their only decent wins are against Okie State and now KSU. B12 has taken it on the chin since Thanksgiving. Virtually no quality wins since and a few bad losses.
Certainly no shame in losing to Nevada - -ranked # 6 in the Nation - ALOT of teams will lose to team -Utah is so so – SIU would for sure be the one that you would consider as a bad loss. – ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY
-
Tennessee new #1 tomorrow?
-

Wont be ku
-
Great win for Tennessee at a neutral site and by extent it helps KU. Only team with a somewhat realistic expectation to go unbeaten is now Nevada.
-
Top 5 game I’ve seen so far this season.
-
Here’s Admiral’s quote. This appears to be a crosssection of what he really feels, and what his coach has told him to feel. Classic…epic …sports quote:
“Honestly, in reality, it’s a big statement,” Schofield said. “We’re not going to act like it’s not a big deal. For us, it’s not. We’re only playing in December. We’re not playing for championships in December, you’re playing for championships in March.”
Translation: Hell yes, we’re excited…but coach wants us to know we didn’t just win the NCAAs, so we still have to keep going…LOL.
-
South Dakota State scored 90 points in the FIRST HALF! Up 92-37 over Savannah State with 18 minutes left. Wow… (can’t find a box score anywhere, but tweets verify the score).
-
Bragg still on new Mexico’s team?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes. Hasn’t played.
-

Are you sure he I still there? - I thought I had read he transferred again
-
-
I was thinking he couldn’t play till the end of of of, maybe ah, 1st semester?
-
According to walton️ Bragg can play Sunday.
-
Colorado w/a great comeback. I like tad Boyle

Ask and you shall receive, here is the box score…
-
Saw the highlights of the SD St game. Savannah State looks like a nice team to practice against. I mean any team that gives up 90 in a half is probably not worthy of being a D-1 school. South Dakota St was enfuego though, 35-46 shooting in that half
-
@BeddieKU23 Man, giving up 23 out of 34 3 ptrs is really going to hurt Savannah State’s defensive efficiency score. The likely fall in their NET rating just might end their April hopes.
-
Savannah State also missed 40 out of 52 3 pt attempts. If they had made them instead at an above average rate of, say, 40%, they could have scored 27 more points. And lost by only 40. Fool’s gold?
-
Fools Gold yo
-
Texas tech. outscored Northwestern State 53-10 in the first half on its way to a 79-44 win. Looks like lots of players got to play extended minutes.

jumpin – gee - -hossa - -fats. - - Did Northwestern even come out of the locker room? - -did game officials not let them know the game was starting lol. - - BUT SERIOUSLY , you know what - - what good does a game like this help anybody? - -
I know we have had some games like this too in the past - -but what does a game like this accomplish anyways - -just not sure what the benefit of games like these accomplish - - glorified practice , the other team gets a decent little payout but what does teams like Texas Tech and others get out of this ? -A false sense of security of how good they are – or think they are? - -Sometimes I think games like these actually hurt a team more then help - - just me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 Grimes could use a couple of those games IMHO.
-
@dylans The fact that we haven’t had those games is due, in part, to Grimes not making it happen.
-
@mayjay KU really hasn’t played that caliber of competition either.
-
Ron Baker was cut by the Knicks. Great Kansas kid; hopefully he gets another shot with a less dysfunctional team.
-
@dylans Good “purnt”!
-
Watched some of the WV Florida game replay. Did you know Konate is 9/21 from 3 this year?
-

Well yes that’s true -but if he is in a deep of rut as it’s looking then -I’m not sure even those would help
-
@jayballer73 yikes. Hope not
-
Yeah he’s been trying to expand his range for the NBA. Hope he takes about 10 a Game against us and clanks them all.
-
Gonzaga/North Carolina should be fun Sat. 6 PM Central on ESPN2. I’ve been impressed with Gonzaga’s athleticism. No more giant lumberjack centers dominating the Zags game.

MEANWHILE IN THE CARRIER DOME

Yep. Hate everything about Syracuse and especially Gerry McNamara.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I second that emotion!! Can not stand the orange.
-
Might have to add UNC to the list of teams that could beat the Cleveland Cavaliers after tonight.
