Impressive wins.

I like coach!
-
This is a good team but they have nothing to guard Doke
-
If I’m Colorado, box and one with athletic guy in Doke. Always a second defender to help on Doke. Beat me outside. Shut driving lanes.
-
Dam they’re big - looks like from players seeing the most moments they go 6’7 - -6’7 - - 6’0 - - 6’8 – & 6’10 - - - mercy that can’t be right.
Having said that they rebound at 38 at game - no impressive wins at all - -just play ou game we should be fine. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
4 guards.
-
I’m going thru withdrawal, three straight games then this long break is breaking me.
-

killing me lol

Ricardo Patton got tired of having more Jayhawk fans at the games than the Buffs and was trying desperately to beat Kansas. So he had them sleep in the gym the night before the game.

Weird looking at pictures of where I live…

I’m expecting a close game in this one. KU needed the break after 3 games in 3 days but its a long time to sit given how the schedule played out. I’m sure the guys need the rest especially after Dotson and Agbaji went 45 minutes but this is a game Self will have to coach up the intensity.
Boyle will bring his group prepared and he’s got one of his best teams since he’s been there. They are Kenpom #9 defensively but #75 offensively so I think this will be a low scoring first half/game.
If KU can find some kind of flow offensively we should be able to get the ball into Doke in situations they cannot match up with at some point. I would bet the farm Boyle doubles Doke in the post. Moss & Agbaji will have to make some open looks. Dotson and Garrett getting dribble penetration could be key to breaking down their defense.
Their big man likes to shoot 3’s which always exposes our biggest weakness on defense. They are not a great shooting team. Their PG is good so that’s another good matchup for Dotson. Bey has been their best player and is averaging a double-double, he must really have a knack for rebounding because he’s not that big.
Colorado has held 4 teams under 53 points. They beat Arizona St in the opener, A-St lost by 3 to Virginia recently. They also own a 4 point win over Clemson. This will be by far the best team they have faced and is their first “road game” of the season. Hopefully Allen Fieldhouse isn’t kind to them

@BeddieKU23 I will be there and behind the bench, if self needs help
just found out my friend had some tickets!

I sure wish Colorado was still in the Big 12. Still not sure that’s a better fit for Colorado. CO has its pot, MU has its Meth. Who gets the remaining Big 12 teams their drugs?

According to their roster , Bey is 6’7 - -not big - but not really small either, if he has some hops I could see him rebounding well
-
@HighEliteMajor When I was at KU in the 70’s, people talked about getting their pot from Colorado, and we just got our liquor from Missouri across State Line Rd in Brookside. I do remember getting Old Jayhawk Whiskey in Lawrence. Do they still sell it?
-
Notice Self screaming about Colorado coming to town? What good is it to climb in the polls if we lay a turd with Colorado?
It’s one test to stand up and fight hard with opponents who really challenge us, it’s another test to fight past the mediocre teams and not fall in their mediocrity trap!
I hope I reverse jinx them and we come out and thrash Colo.

True I guess I must have thought he was a few inches shorter but whatever the case the kid can rebound. 4th in the country right now, 2 of his last 3 games rebound totals at 17 & 19. Also has 15 assists in his last 4 games. Tough matchup

Mercy, I didn’t realize that - - those are some pretty impressive numbers - not necessarily the best of competition - but still impressive I don’t care who it is

I wish co was still in our con. too. I remember riding the exercise bike at genesis during our comeback win in fb. I am a diehard fan. I was on that bike forever. Can’t remember the year. I also remember the win at El Paso? We had brothers on our team and their team.
-
Buffs with their hands full tonight. Loyola Marymount going for the upset bid…it’s tied at the under-4:00 timeout.
-
CU pulling away now
-
@bskeet Yeah, they must’ve been looking ahead to the KU game. Finally woke up in time. LMU played well though.
-
Totally agree… some competitive basketball games tonight… and a couple surprising blowouts.
-
@mayjay No more "Old Jayhawk Bourbon’’ but you can find some old empty bottles online.
-
Now don’t get me wrong , not trying to sound over confident but , not to overly concerned with Colorado either. - -The Reason ? - -Well we are playing in the Phog - - -It’s Colorado 1st road game of the season - - -Their Schedule hasn’t exactly been top tier , their only one really decent opponent was the 1st game of the year beat Arizona State - others nothing to write home about.
They don’t shoot the ball worth a crap - they rank # 272 in the Nation in shooting the ball - -only shooting the ball at a 41.3 % clip - -Three point shooting pretty similar to ours they shoot @ 36.4 - - we shoot @ 35.8 they don’t score the ball that well 69.0 ppg , we are at 83.0 ppg.
they shoot free throws at 69.5 . we are at 66.2 - -they out rebound us right at 1 1/2 rebounds more - -nothing to get worked up about. The one thing is we have to be careful with Bey he averages 12 rebounds per game, and their leading scorer - can’t let him go nuts. - -I think we will be just fine. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
