Worst 15-3 Team In The Country vs Boo Birds Game Thread
-
@DanR Much better than it has been.
-
One game at a time
-
It should not be impossible to bottle up what we did in the TCU game and what we did in the last 16 here and reproduce. Marcus going to the hole is really solid, Dedric is the same dude we’ve had all year, plus his 3pt% is starting to normalize. Dotson is still lightning fast and has a ton of upside if he’s encouraged to hold on to the keys and run the offense. Ochai won’t foul out next time, Grimes had a bad game, we didn’t even use DMack, and Charlie and KJ didnt have enough time on the floor to do anything to be meaningful either good or bad. This is very reproducable with a lot more upside to it.
-
You know my record here?
-
Gotta stop and pick up my dog
-
@Crimsonorblue22 you undefeated?
-
@DanR could streak, done that before! Long story
-
haha, happy Bill.
-
Undefeated
-
That’s why I’m doing the down and back
-
“… but we need to get the wheels back on.” - Happy Bill.
Translation: “I still like our upside”.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 TMI.
-
@approxinfinity KJ actually provided a decent spark tonight even with his few minutes. Good sign too.
-
@DanR Word, I probably missed the bulk of his minutes when I had to rock baby. Need to rewatch the turnaround 2nd half.
-
@approxinfinity I admire your priorities
-
I’m so glad we didnt giftwrap the Big 12 for Iowa State tonight. Send the ketchup and mayo boys home hungry.
-
@DanR Agreed KJ is Jamari Traylor to me he can turn the game hustling but is only effective in short spurs. I thought Self did a much better managing his time tonight.
-
Who are we rooting for tomorrow? Kitties or Tech?
-
@DanR Sounds pretty screwed up to me.
or 
. . . How to choose?..

I’m cheering for Tech.
-
Seems like a big difference between 5-2 and 4-3 in the standings right now. Big win.

or . . . How to choose?..@DanR it depends… my priorities go like this…
KU first 24 minutes of game < baby < KU last 16 minutes of game.
I just didnt know the last 16 minutes were coming.
-
@approxinfinity Good choice! Sometimes babies, even if totally nuts, are easier to deal with than the endings of games.
Especially when, upon calming down, they just give you the sweetest innocent look and your heart melts.
When did anyone’s heart melt looking at a player who had been driving you nuts?
-
@mayjay what if my baby is a future Kansas player that is driving me nuts…
-
@mayjay Tyshawn made my heart melt a couple of times. He was adorable.

point plankin! 
-
@tundrahok Well, okay, but wrapping him in a blanket and cuddling would likely not have gone well.
-
Usually they grow up so fast, but that was not the case with Tyshawn

PHOF lolol
-
Drove us all nuts at times too
-
@approxinfinity By then you will be a typically frustrated angry parent who cannot remember your heart melting.
-
KU 10+ points, 8+ assists, 0 turnover games since 2010-11
Devonte Graham on 11-18-16 against Siena
Devon Dotson tonight
-
Made his momma’s heart melt.
-
Also, made the ice in Jason Kidd’s game drink melt.

you talking about the baby or this team?
-
Baylor has to be the surprise team this far, they didnt look good at all in the non conference. Obviously WV is the big let down, which still makes me mad about Saturday lol.
-
Roses are crimson, Jayhawks are blue, my baby’s farts stink, and so do KU’s
-
@kjayhawks Yeah I still have that country roads bs ringing in my ears.
-
Made it home. Thx for
gotta find a ticket for TT.
-
@approxinfinity KSU or tt going down one tmr!
-
Holy jeebus, did I just see that Baylor score right? Dang. Anger from Saturday revisited.
On to tonight’s happiness…
— helluva second half. Like two different teams. aggressive. Mean. Liked it.
— Ochai’s energy was great. I can see now his handle needs some maturing, as evidenced by his awkward drives tonight. Good to see he’s got the nuts to go there though. Love his rebounding ability.
— Dotson is a gritty little mother effer. He’s got that Frank non smile.
— nothing positive from Grimes tonight. Looks like he only played in the second half because of foul trouble. He quickly needs to figure out one simple thing he can do to contribute, and do it well.
— KJ is a %#$@&** spaz. He’d fit in better if it were 1995. But I suppose he helped tonight.
— I honestly thought ISU was going to pull away in the first half. Shitty fan, I know. They just seem to have better athletes — bigger, stronger.
— loving the new Garrett.
-
You guys had fran?
! right off he said isu could beat us for big 12 champs. 
fran
-
He had his 40 minute formula for beating KU ready. They executed it for 25 minutes and then Fran was pissed. Looks like we’ll get a 1 game break on Saturday at Rupp from this puppet
-
Fran spends the whole game talking about how to guard and beat KU and then wonders why KU fans don’t appreciate him? What a joke. He makes me miss Dave Armstrong… a lot. Wow!
-
Dedric commented after the game that ISU’s bigs were fouling him all game, lol.
-
Not possible. They never touched him. It’s been an issue for weeks really. Teams are guarding Dedric with a ton of physicality and he’s not getting half the calls he should.
