KU should win this one easily. This is a “get right” game. The goal should be to get guys some confidence before conference play starts.
Let Doke get a few minutes to test the ankle out.
Let guys like KJ and Mitch get some run to find their rhythm.
Play Grimes 25+ minutes to get him some more confidence in his skills.
Let Moore get some shots up to find his range.
The final score isn’t success on Saturday. The things listed above are.
-
Agreed- game practice, practice game- get ready. Although once conference play starts, it seems like we have more of a “get er done” attitude. Hoping we do again this year.
-
Cool! James Thompson #2 was a freshman student at my school. I’d totally lost track of him, I know he’d had some legal issues, but he made it up to ypsi apparently. We called him tree because he was tall. Glad to see he’s doing well.
-
I have an opportunity to go to this game and I am looking for some guidance on parking. Can someone advise parking options.
-
@AsadZ There are dorms at the top of the hill, to the west of AFH. Just park up there and walk down. Students are gone, so no issues. When students are back, there are spaces available in the first lot west of the northern most dorm (Templin).
-
@HighEliteMajor Thank you, that’s a great suggestion.
-
We always do the park n ride. 3 bucks.
-
I always look for a college kid selling parking in their yard a few blocks south and east of Allen Fieldhouse. That way you can give some kid $10 and you can park just far enough away to be out of traffic.
Enjoy the game!!!
-
@dylans We usually go park south there on 19th just down from the corner of Naismith and its 10 or 20, that guy will put like 10 cars inn his yard. Easy money lol
-
Back in the old days you could go into Naismith hall and buy a pass for $10
-
That could’ve been my son
-
Uber or Lyft. Dropped me off and picked me up at NE corner of AFH. Convenient and cheaper than many parking areas.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 At that house??
-
@kjayhawks him and his roommates lived on 19th around there.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 cool

@wissox I go to a couple of Eastern games a year and I always wondered how Thompson ended up at EMU. Although his scoring isn’t real high, he seems to have a lot of physical tools. Maybe whatever issues were there kept him from being highly recruited (only guessing on that). Anyway…I’ve always liked him as a player.
-
@Hawk8086 I do recall now seeing a story about him a couple of years ago. As I recall, he just went through some tough times. He was from an extremely tough neighborhood where I taught. After his freshman year, he got recruited to play ball at a private school. But a year or two later was in some hot water. I think it was a domestic incident. I’m absolutely thrilled that he is a senior in college and a productive member of a DI team. I will be cheering for him Saturday for sure!.

@wissox Thanks for the link. Now it all makes sense. Very tough inside player. Very physical. Offensive skills never quite developed as you would have thought. But yes…good for him.
-
2nd link is the story of EMU scoring 4 points in the first half against Rutgers this year.
-
@wissox Beautiful. perfect opponent.
-
I hate to give away my secret, but street parking off one of the side roads off of Naismith towards 19th st is the cheapest way to park (free) and it’s typically not too far of a walk. Most importantly, it’s a completely flat walk…
-
@Kcmatt7 I’ve done that before as well
-
@wissox I remember seeing that score and thinking…what the??
-
Has anyone tried the ESPN+ replay for 4.99 a month? If so, is it anything like their ESPN3 with horrible quality? I’m not paying 4.99 a month for poor quality.
-
@truehawk93 if you are wanting ku games, you probably don’t need it anymore. The quality was good for me.
-
@truehawk93 oh, replay, man I’m slow!
-
@truehawk93 I thought the quality was good…better than ESPN3.
-
@truehawk93 are you just wanting it for one game?
-
I was able to use @HighEliteMajor suggestion and park in Ellsworth hall parking and walked to AFH, it was a very cold day but certainly worth the trip.
