Can you name you kid admiral if he’s not in the navy?
No

Wanted Grimes to know he doesn’t hate him lol.
-
I’m fine being ranked 2
-
Lightfoots hair stayed in good shape all game. So that’s good.
-
Barnes get coy of big 12 this year?
-
Great win tonight

Oh man, is this the best post in this thread?

Rcjh!

Very impressed with our grit.
-
A win is a win. It was sure ugly in the middle

Interesting sub
Confusing substitution. Doesn’t make sense for Q or KJ.
Needed a FT shooter.

Self made them tough it out and they did. I like it.
-
Bill proud of the toughness
-
Play bad and win against a good team. Well I’m happy with that
-
Tennessee is good but not great. They couldn’t overcome our weakened team, even though they came close. Hats off to our team. We’ve beaten two top 10 teams this year.
-
Two battles in Brooklyn, we needed that. Good to see this early in the season. So what was with MG?
-
missed it by 1. i said we’d win by 7.
-
Great test for the team and it passed with flying colors.

Love these type of games. Depth saved us. KJ can play given the opportunity
-
Admiral has a brother named General I shit you not
-
National ranking may make others think it isn’t anything special he is doing but Self is doing some great things with these guys
-
@wissox we still have rooks too
-
how cool is that??? RCJHGKU…hubba, hubba…
-
@DanR how did you know that? No parents in the military ?
-
14 straight regular season wins vs AP top 10 is pretty damn good.

OKAY SO HOT DEBATE TIME.
Is this worse than the St Browns?
For reference
Equanimeous, Osiris and Amon-ra. Brothers that are all WRs, one currently in the NFL other two in college I believe.

-
OU beats WVU 59-56… I kid you not…the Big 12 still alive.
-
Scrappy, very scrappy. Charlie Moore and KJ Lawson were very valuable tonight.
-
@BShark I feel you need to earn those.
-
Better than Robin and Brook as in the Lopez brothers.
-
1372 yards of combined offense for OU and WVU…
-
Williams needs to get his Carmel corn back from Barnes
-
@JayHawkFanToo Them Lopez brothers are still in the league aren’t they? I hope we can say the same about the Lawsons.
-
I like dedrics kick after his dunk
-
@BShark find out about that boot. Ok?
-
Now we have to wait 8 days to see KU play a terrible Stanford team. Stanford is the kind of team you hope to let Grimes get his confidence back against. Kenpom ranking in the same range as Vermont and Lousiana.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Schofield’s dad was in the navy
-
Hopefully these 2 games got Dedric going, he looked so much better. Not driving into 3 guys and getting swatted repeatedly.
-
Oh, and he was born in the same hospital in England that Prince Harry and William were born in.
All the trivia I know. I lived in Knoxville for ten years so I sort of still follow the Vols a bit.
-
@BShark How much are we going to lose to Stanford by?
-
@DanR impressed
-
Whew… Great win. The team is still putting the pieces together. But good enough to win some big games on big stages. Dotson looked great tonight. Grimes will have his day. Awesome to see D Lawson show what he can do in this tourney. KJ also got some meaningful minutes. And props to Moore who was able to competently manage the game to give others a break. This squad is a work in progress, but what a great bunch of raw parts.
Lots of weapons on this team. They can win playing a variety of styles.

Bill takes another one away from Barnes. And so it goes…

Yep, Grimes just needs to find himself. Maybe thinking too much right now. Beating a top 5 teams basically without Grimes is HUGE. Plus Doke fouled out in 17 minutes or so… Just a great, tough team win.
-
@bskeet I’ve been saying all year so far that Dotson is better than Grimes. I’ve also said no way hes a OAD at this point. Looking at previous OAD guards hes not even close.

He really isn’t but he has been DEAD SET on leaving. Will be interesting to see if that changes. He has good parents and they also don’t particularly need the $ I believe.
-
Both Grimes and Dotson are excellent freshmen. I think they may be the best true freshmen duo since Wiggins and Embiid… not as talented-- and not nearly as impactful as those two were because we don’t need them to be given that Vick and D Lawson are seasoned and talented scoring machines. But there wasn’t much around Wigs and Embiid. Tarik Black (sr) and Perry Ellis (so) were it.
So I like to think about these freshmen improving throughout the year and becoming more confident with the safety net of Vick, Lawson and Azubuki. It should be a team with a high ceiling as the season winds down.
-
@bskeet Grimes could be a solid freshman but he’s got to figure it out from an effort stand point. That’s my main issue with him, we have some depth this so the choice is his. I’ve said for years I’d rather have a 3 or 4 star guy that goes hard than a 5 that stands.
