@FarmerJayhawk Bob Huggins and a flask.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich He will be looking for that flask tonight.
-
I always enjoy Huggins during press conferences
-
0-8
-
Missed opportunity
Huggs knows better
phogg
-
@BShark Bill will find it for him.
-
This proves, we really need Marcus to be in the game 90%

Dude does love him some Johnny Walker per a bartender friend in Manhattan
-
Ya so I said it a while back but we probably beat Nova with Marcus.
-
Hugs should be happy he didn’t get to see the bench…
-
Down side. ESPN+ for this game.
-
If Dotson can’t shoot 3s or pass well, he’s not as good as Marcus.
-
It’s a W. Figured we’d have to grind this one out.
Good to see us cut down on the second half turnovers.
-
I enjoyed the second half. First half was UGLY. Rock Chalk!
-
This is fun, guys, thanks for letting me hang out with y’all!!! Great win!!! Rock CHalk!!
-
Got killed on boards. ORB was ridiculous for WVU
-
@msanchez come back!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 you betcha!
-
Although yeah, Devon was a big part of the O in the first half.
-
WVU slowed us up with all things - a zone - for a period there in 2nd half.
Wonder if we’d practiced / scouted that for this game.
-
Azubuike 6-6, 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 blocks.
-
Lack of rebounding against WVU isn’t too shocking especially with KU having to play 4 out to score.
-
@msanchez yeah! Thanks for stopping by!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich wow! Self doesn’t seem thrilled w/that announcer
-
Weird interview, with Self standing and neither announcer bothering to stand up to talk to him.
-
Only plus for ESPN+ was watching while getting hand X-ray’d in 1st half!
-
@tundrahok I thought that too. streaming crew.
-
@Bwag ok?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yep. Not broken. Momentary light affliction from a mountain bike crash.
-
@Bwag ice! Your dominant hand?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yep. That’s what my wife makes me do. Off hand but after another injury on other finger I’m down to a thumb and 2 fingers
.But if there are any MTB’s on here and want to come down to NW Arkansas, hit me up.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 thanks!
-
@Bwag mtb’s? Not good w/initials. I figured that’s all u need to do dishes, not sure about your job🥴

Mountain Biking- MTB.
Not work - play!
-
Anyone else concerned about another game with very little bench scoring? Only Braun scored. Only 6 shot attempts by nonstarters. WV got 20 points from its bench
-
@stoptheflop Weird game, low-scoring, so not too worried. Interesting that Braun played the entire second half without coming out (like Dot and Ochai).
What happened to Enaruna? Only played 1 minute.
-
Self said he’d give us a passing grade? Need moss och and ? Tristan to make shots. Can’t rewind. Sounds really bummed about moss
-
@tundrahok just guessing he didn’t do much, great guess huh?
-
Moss is hard to play if he’s not hitting 3’s because he doesn’t really fill up the stat sheet any other way. There will probably be a handful of games where his 3-point shooting is very helpful to winning, though. This was not one of them. Kansas was 3-17 from deep today.
19-30 from the free-throw line. But if I’m remembering right, we were 3-10 from the line at one point, which means we shot 16-20 (80%) after that.
-
Enaruna came in, made a horrible play and promptly went to the bench.
-
A good win on paper and we finally finished a tight game. But man that was ugly to put it nicely. The 6 bench points are frustrating, Moss was a ghost with Tristan and Silvio has major issues. I’m not sure where to even start with him, air balling a 4 foot shot that’s wide open. Would suck to get sanctions over a guy that’s only been effective in 3 games in his entire career. Dotson continues to force up shots in the lane instead of kicking it out, resulting in turnovers and his 15/45 shooting performance the last 3 games. If we want to win anything this season he has to play better end of story. The effort put forth in the rebounding department this afternoon was elementary at best, out rebounded 44 to 30. Rarely does a team shoot the way we did and rebound like that to win the game. Not sure if it’s just me but the last 5 or 6 years more often than not we don’t look ready to play. Not sure if the guys are out partying til 2 am or what but we had no energy or give a damn for the first 15 minutes today.

Absolutely agree. Braun otoh is a Marc G type that impacts the game in a multitude of ways.
-
@kjayhawks This is typical Bill Self. Game is tight and he rides 5-6 guys.
-
Ugly game but it’s a win against a team that has become a big thorn in our side year after year. Since West Virgina came into the league they have given us fits almost every game.
Marcus, Doke and Braun get the game balls. Without marcus making that tough lay in and 2 fts we dont win this game. Hes big time
-
Had to stream the game on my phone (was at a bday party) and the quality was really good and convenient to be able to see the game away from home. Couldn’t contribute much to the game thread but happy for the W. Thought Dotson really struggled again. Hopefully he gets out this slump

Ride or Die with the guys who were playing well

Not his game. He will get other chances but Braun is replacing him quickly

Every time.
Braun is really moving up the list. Did not see this coming based on early returns.
-
@BShark very true just disappointed in everyone on the bench not named Braun.
