ESPN sucks
-
KU is going to win at least a share the Big 12 title this year.
-
We aren’t Dook to ESPN obviously
-
@kjayhawks Thank God.
-
They make us wait 20 minutes in a complete blow out, then they preempt us…whisk us off the stage. It’s revealing and pathetic.
-
11-0 run by WVU to end the game lol
-
@Kcmatt7 that’s what that drive into 3 players looked like. Once Garrett returns he shouldn’t see the floor in all honesty.

Garrett is better than Grimes. It’s not close.

Just flat wrong.

Love the game from KJ today, he was solid. Dotson with 15/5/8, good stuff.
-
@BShark And only 2 TOs

just saying I don’t think KJ is that bad - -he has limited minutes until injuries and player leaving - for the most part he had been in on mop up time - -I think he is showing he can help. – I just keep looking back when he was at Memphis had pretty solid numbers.
I realize Memphis is not Big 12 - still - he is not that bad - like the looks of the team - showing that different look - -seems like players are showing up a little more

@BShark @Texas-Hawk-10 We were talking about Moore, not grimes guys

Oh you were saying Chuck shouldn’t see the floor. That makes perfect sense, I agree.
-
We shoot 53 % from the field - - 8-20 from the 3 - - and 14-18 from the line - I can live with those numbers
-
Apparently someone on the duk game just referred to NCState as “that other team from the triangle”.

Not how it came across, but agreed. Moore should foul trouble and mop up minutes.
-
@BShark Grimes has seemed way more engaged here lately, he just isn’t hitting shots. He was 0-4 from distance and 3 had no one with in 5 feet of him. I’m still sticking with my thoughts earlier in the year that he maybe the key to our season. He has to be this years Newman for us to make any type of run IMO. I don’t wanna harp on him to bad as I said I think he’s more in the game just needs to hit shots and stop with the TOs (lead team with 4 today).
-
I’m really starting to like this David/Mitch combo at the 5. I’ve been one of the guys screaming for Dave to get more minutes all season and think we are seeing it start to it pay off. He had some TOs again today but to me looks more comfortable every game he’s in. Nice to see Dedric didn’t have to carry us for once but still had a solid game.
-
@kjayhawks This definitely felt like one of Dave’s better games.
-
@kjayhawks Grimes needs to focus on other things besides shooting. His defense is still really bad and his rebounding his bad for a guard his size. He is also a subpar passer right now. With a week until our next game, I’d have Grimes focus exclusively on one of those 3 things for Tech.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Very true, he’s been more engaged but still has several things to work on. Hopefully Garrett is able to practice in a day or two and this group has a good week going into Saturday.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 KJ had a nice game today. I think KJ could be the difference down the stretch. Q’s continued lack of success may be impossible for him to overcome.
-
I’m starting to think a lineup of Dot/ Grimes or Garrett/Ochai/KJ/Big Dave might be a really good lineup for next year.
-
Do we want to win games, or play Grimes? It’s really that simple. KJ was the superior player today. Garrett will be the superior player when he returns. It’s mid-February.
Grimes needs to come off the bench. Period. This isn’t even a question now. If he would be permanently damaged because he’s so fragile psychologically, or he’d transfer, or whatever, so what.
This is the most flexible, softest I’ve seen Self with a player (not sure of the right term). But it’s not patience. This isn’t patience. It’s something a little twisted … a sadomasochistic patience. Painful to all involved.
If Grimes’ switch goes on in a few weeks, this will be the most impressive bit of “letting a player develop” I’ve ever seen.
I love the idea of letting a player develop. But I’m not seeing any hints of development or progress. Am I wrong?
And I’m really liking Dave/Mitch at the 5, as well (@kjayhawks). Lot of activity. And man, we say this a lot, but Mitch is incredible blocking shots. He’s one of the best I’ve ever seen.
-
Chris beard pissed at the dock move! Love that guy!

I think Q should play 10 - 15 minutes a game unless he catches fire or something. He just didn’t figure it out, and time is up. His shot is not even close. I said two games ago during a game chat that anything he gives the team from then on would be a bonus and that is still the case.
Imstillmthinkmthey need to win out for a share which isn’t likely, but Self needs to stop dicking around with Q.
-
@JonRothstein Bill Self is the Ric Flair of the Big 12 and to be the man, you’ve got to beat the man. The streak is still alive — for now.
-
@HighEliteMajor you are not wrong.
-
@HighEliteMajor It is very interesting that Self has pretty much said he’s starting and that’s that. Everyone says its for recruiting, which is silly to me, lets show guys you can be crap with no consequences. I worry that some of the other guys that have shown up for more than 1 game are starting to get mad. IMO Garrett should start ahead of Grimes when he is able to go. I really don’t want to go back to a 4 guard line up at this point so hopefully self doesn’t take Dave out of the line up. I’d rather Garrett come off the bench than that.
-
Bill must be seeing something out of Grimes. It’s unlike him to play a struggling freshman. It makes me think there is still hope for Grimes this season.
-
@Kcmatt7 Maybe Adidas gave him a big check and we have to keep him quiet. Sadly that’s one of few logical explanations but at this point he could be the most overrated recruit we have ever had, people forget he was #8 in the country. To that in perspective Dotson was #20 and Ochai was a whopping #145. This is why I laugh when people say NBA draft this season for him. He’s maybe, maybe the 6th best player on this team.
