Barking Mad Game Thread
-
Quentin lives!!!
-
This game will be an interesting turning point in the season in many ways.
-
@BShark you are a dork! Change that avi
-
This might be the first game where KU has exceeded the predicted Kenpom margin. Maybe Marquette too I don’t remember for sure.
-
-
This is the first game that I wasn’t biting my finger nails near the end.

@KirkIsMyHinrich you think he wants to get the other 2 time together?
Honestly not sure.
-
So, about the theory that we will live or die on 3 pt shooting… Tonight, I’m leaning to the “preventing a basket is just as good as making one” but if Wofford had made more of their many 2nd chance opportunities, that theory wouldn’t hold much water.
-
I told you we would see a better 3 point defense. Wofford shot 5 -26 from 3 or 19.2% and a couple of those came in garbage time.
-
@BShark keep the pirate hat. ahoy, matey!
-
Doke is really young and I think his pain tolerance is low. I hope he recovers quickly! Hopefully no break.
-
Vick, come on! Leader?
-
We finally saw a glimpse of the Grimes we were waiting for.
-
In regards to Grimes, it was about this time of year the light came on for Kelly Oubre as well. Hopefully that’s what this was for Grimes.

Dedric Lawson = an upgraded Perry Ellis.
Better BB instincts, I think, is the reason. Both seem slow (maybe ponderous is a better word), but Perry always seemed to be figuring out where to move and telegraphed it all the time. DL just seems to have a great sense of how to move.
-
@KUSTEVE Too late.
-
@Kubie Last I heard “out indefinitely”. Waiting on the post game update. High ankle sprain is not good.
-
@mayjay Dedric plays like a retired NBA player. Definitely has good skills and instincts!
-
@mayjay We looked like a real basketball team the 2nd half. A dominating, elite team with great passing and driving skills. Work of art. This wasn’t Vick shooting 60% from 3 to bail us out- this was a sustained ass kicking to the tune of 25-0. This is what I’ve been waiting to see.
-
for my take in this games – I think to me 3 things stuck out : - - #1 - - -Devon Dotson - -he was there when things we NOT going good , - -# 2 - - Marcus , the guy deserves some props - -ya sure has ugly shot - BUT on the defensive in the kid is a stud , quick hands pesky does a real good job - -got like 7-8 rebounds on top of that - -& #3 - - Seeing Quentin finally starting to show signs of coming out of this really bad slump.
The biggest concern of Course -is Doke - -they said high ankle sprain - -not good - -and we have Villanova coming in less then two weeks. - -we were getting our butt beat on the boards finally evened out some but mercy - -they were getting every dam rebound for awhile. - -ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY
-
@mayjay Perry is much more athletic. So far, better outside shooter.
-
Does any one recall a better run than the 27-0 we just watched?
-
Post game just said why Dave doesn’t play more yet, he’s still out of control too much to leave out there for long stretches. Once the game slows down for him, he’ll be fine and see a major upswing in minutes.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t disagree, but he didn’t always use that athleticism well. Poor rebounding instincts, poor defender.
-
@JayHawkFanToo 22-0 run on Marquette earlier this year brought us back from behind six or eight
-
Did doke ever come out?
-
Every box score is an adventure. Vick and Doke with 0 points tonight and still a 25-point KU victory.

Going to be a lot more 0s for Doke…
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Anyone think we would ever win a 13.3% 3 pt shooting game, let alone win by dbl digits, or conceive it could be by 25?!!
-
Ya that’s really too bad. Get better soon, Doke.
-
@jayballer73 Coach said he hopes to have Dok back by Christmas.
-
And outrebounded by 9, with only 11 KU assists. Astounding.
-
Can you all imagine ESPN if Duke went on a 27-0 run in a close game?

Internet would break. Maybe not a bad thing…

They’d probably move Duke up to 6th or 7th place in the Eastern conference.

YA I heard, but you listening and I had just said -who would of ever thought with Doke being out - -Vick not scoring - -so zero points from Doke And Vick - - KU getting out rebounded by 10 -and we end up better them by 25 with all that going against us - -just crazy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark who’s that guy?
-
Dedric should be the main really consistent guy box score wise. Though he didn’t get any fta tonight which is very odd.
-
Plot Twist: Bill Self isn’t playing Dave so that he stays at KU longer.
-
@jayballer73 Yeah plus we shot terrible from three. Thankfully they did too.
-
Self said he hopes to have Doke back before Christmas. They play Arizona St on the 22.

Nah. Dave is a 4 year guy basically regardless.
I know you are joking just wanted to mention this.
-
I just really don’t understand why he doesn’t play.
-
-
Better news
-
-
I was trying to figure out if the 27-0 run is close to a record.

It’s not.
-
I was thinking more along the lines of a KU record.
