@wrwlumpy Nice Lumpy! We got this one?
-
If the basketball gods care at all, Villanova will go 0-25 from 3 point land Saturday. THEY ARE FREAKING DUE
-
I would really like this team to put our best foot forward in the first half instead of coming out looking like hot poop on a stick.
-
I remember how that moment felt.
-
Villanova is 8-2 down by 5 to 8-2 Penn (@Penn) with 10 left.
-
9 now with 7 min left
-
You sure this team is gonna mop the floor with us @BShark ? I’m not feeling it.
-
What’s this leg kick out crap?
-
Call the O-foul
-
Game over even with the heroics.
-
Quick whistle by officials is really helping team coming back. Hate that.
-
What. Are. You. DOING???
-
That was stupid.
-
Guess guy fell down…foul there?
-
Let’s make it 2 in a row for Villy Manilli.
-
Nova needs to be taken down a notch! I know just the team! Was thinking about the game Mario made a 3 in front of jay wright and made a remark to him, loved it. Not a fan!
-
I have no problems with Jay Wright. If Self moved on, I’d take Jay I think.
-
So you guys agree on this?
Someday a coach will figure out he can just have his player roll the ball into the paint into a crowd with a second left up 3 and automatically win the game. Someday.
-
@Bwag I couldn’t take him and po Mario.

Easily. Light work for Jay Wright to DRUB Bill Self.
-
@BShark bring it on mr!
-
The only thing this does is give BeeShark the excuse for when we destroy Nova Saturday that Nova is just a garbage midmajor.
-
Nova looks like garbage at this point but Pascall is a match up nightmare. He’s way faster that Dedric and can score on Garrett. If we dont let anyone else go nuts we will probably be ok. Watching us struggle with average teams and the way Wright has had Selfs number, only a fool thinks this will be a route in favor of ku. Nova could’ve been looking past this game pretty easily.
-
@kjayhawks I can’t wait to see how we match up. Who do you think will start out on him?
-
Penn out rebounded Nova 35-22 and out assisted 15-6. 3 Nova players fouled out and 2 others had 4 fouls; 1 Penn player fouled out and e others had 4 fouls. Paschal had a very pedestrian 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 TOs and 4 fouls. I am sure the KU staff will be studying the Penn game plan closely; looks like it worked rather well.
-
Great point about Paschall, KU recruited him when he was transferring. He played like Jordan against us in the Final 4 last year and we still don’t have someone to match up with him and very few teams do. Just have to stop him from making 3’s and Nova can be contained
-
Nova is a blueblood. Same amount of Natties as KU!
-
It will be a good test, but we’ll prevail.
-
Paschall alone will not beat KU. containing Booth and Gillespie is the key, they are the real shooters on the team and Dotson and whoever plays the other guard will have their hands full. This is the type of game that a hot wing for KU can go crazy…could be Vick or Grimes finally awakening and putting on a show.
-
We are the better team on paper. If we defend the 3 well everything will be fine.
-
Rarely does one player beat KU but often when KU loses someone is the catalyst and the matchups look favorable for Paschall to be that guy as their stretch big. He’s already had one monster game against KU (Final 4) so I’m worried he parks out on the 3 point line and gives us fits again. Hopefully Bill has a good gameplan for him. I would put Garrett on him personally and leave Dedric to guard Roundtree and whoever else they bring in at that other forward position

Ya that’s who it was - -I said Booth shooting the 3 – - my bad - -it’s Paschell , he is the idiot that likes to kick his leg out and look for the foul , him a nd G - -not going to try and spell his name - - those are two that is just a must - -contest the 3 on - -otherwise they can kill you from the 3
-
I think booth kicks his leg out
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think you have to start Garrett on him, in the FF it didn’t matter who we had on him, he made it look easy. He’s hands down our best on ball defender, Dotson is pretty solid as well but probably can’t guard a 6’8 guy. Vick maybe another guy that has at times played great defense and has the ability so Self put him on as well.
-
@BShark It’s a good thing it takes more than a good five years to be a Blue Blood. Nova and Marsha fans may disagree lol.
-
If KU beats Villanova on Saturday, there’s a good chance Nova falls out of the Top 25. KState is almost out of the Top 25 (tied for 25th with Indiana and Syracuse). Arizona is unranked. Another loss would probably make Kentucky unranked.
When was the last time that there were no Wildcats ranked in the Top 25? It could happen this season.
-
Booth, Gillespie, Bey and Cremo are all better 3 point shooters than Paschall. Paschall does take more 3 point attempts than all of them except Booth but the 4 I mentioned have better percentages and take a fair number of 3s. If KU concentrates on Paschall it will get killed by the others; Penn did a great job defending Paschall and limited him to 10 points and 5 rebounds; that is the game plan KU needs to consider.
