Just saw that

You know what and there will be guys that say I’m crazy for saying this but that’s ok. You know I am beginning to wonder now since we have played them twice and am done with them unless it’s in the Big 12 tourney. I’m really beginning to wonder if possibly Texas Tech isn’t actually BETTER then Baylor ? - -I just feel Tech’s defense is better then Baylor , I’m not as worried - - I’m worried but not as much about playing Baylor now. - -Tech’s defense is insane , you have to really work for a shot little lone a good shot , their aggressive play really well. In a way we was lucky Shannon & Mcolloughs was off BUT we had a lot to do with that. - -I dunno maybe I am crazy but Tech is dangerous , well Coached crazy defense. Guess that’s why we play them out , just my opinion I am just feeling not so worried about Balor. - -Balor is good - -dam Good and yet I’m just not as worried cause I feel Tech is right there with them and I think they are better defensively that’s all

A requiem for the late, great Marcus Garrett… Bryson goes for 33. Pack goes for 35. Two very different players… different size… different skill set. BOTH would have been limited if Marcus was still on this team!

@rockchalkjayhawk I guess it is swollen

Hard to beat anyone twice in three days, let alone three times in one week.

simply I think a lot of people think KU is gonna skate on this thing and to that I say I think your in for a rude awakening period. - If you think KU is coming out of this smelling like a rose - - then i’m sorry , but there is no way in hell we walk were gonna take a hit. - NCAA has been after us for so many years trying to find shit, and whether you believe it or not KU is not the innocent flower child in this whole thing we are not guiltless no matter the degree. There other other schools that had less severity charged against them our 5 Level 1 and have gotten hit - no reason to think we will come out with less - i your thinking such then your in for a rude sold slap in the face called reality - -WATCH

@BeddieKU23 oh no

@wissox Close!

@nuleafjhawk said in Colorado Game recap: I just figure that CU bailed because they didn’t want a national ass-whoopin. They bailed from the conference because they were tired of getting spanked at least twice per year, so it’s not a big deal to bail on another game. And also having their fans outnumbered on their own court!

@Crimsonorblue22 doing alright. Definitely tired, still have a runny nose and lots of coughing and sneezing. Being vaccinated and boosted is hopefully helping.

@drgnslayr said in Concerns for Colorado game: @jayballer67 Yes… the defense, flat out, sucks at this moment! All that foot speed… wasted. Guys play totally out of position, they do a very poor job on switches… most of the time we have at least two defenders stuck in “no-man’s land” not guarding anyone. It’s one big mess! The thing is, none of our playing time guys are freshmen. These guys no better! Self needs to really crack the whip on the lot of them! The head is Remy… He really needs to toughen up his game. Pac12 ball is not Big12 ball. His biggest adjustment isn’t learning Self-ball or a new team… his biggest lost space is his lack of playing Big12 ball, and he’s yet to have that baptism. Soon enough! Colorado may give him half a taste. Just wait until he faces Huggy Bear and his Mountaineers in WV! I’m a big huge fan of Remy but can’t give him a break on this. He has to bear down and start playing like a Big12 PG. Agree , true Remy can make some strong plays BUT there is a lot of times he is rally loose with the ball , there are times he tries to make the sweet pass and it gets turned over he does that rather then make the simple pass. - - His defense is HORRIBLE he gets beat constantly, BUT he is NOT alone defensively - we have work to do – lots of work

@justanotherfan mondessi! Don’t believe I’ve heard much about basketball players. I wondered about weightlifting or workouts. Thx!

Dave will have better days. Part of this is just mechanical. Getting him the ball with the right spacing and at the right time. But he needs to stop shying away from contact. He needs to know how to go towards the basket without fouling. I just don’t think we should be always going hi/lo. It’s too slow and rigid. We need to play at a faster pace because we have depth and speed. Running a faster offense also makes it easier to speed up our opposition, which is what we want to do. Having more possessions in a game should favor us. Relatively low TOs and a decent conversion rate on offense. I do like how Self is throwing our guards out there in a mostly 3/4s press.

ESPN really cares about football only. Same with Foxsports.

@wissox I’ve always been an Och fan.

@benshawks08 said in NIL KU merchandise: @drgnslayr I wonder how much of this type of defensive style Self might use this year. He’s got the guys up top to disrupt the opponent getting into their sets. Seems to be part of the plan for this team to reach its full potential. Do you really think we will run with Jalen at the 5? I’ll believe it when I see it. Jalen played some minutes at the 5 last year. I don’t think it’ll be frequent, but I do expect to see Jalen at the 5 with certain match ups.

Updated after the Tech Win. Och sits 16 pts away from tying Mario Chalmers for 30th all time on the scoring list PER’s Kenpom really hates our defense

Whz listening to the local sports broadcast today & hosts they made some really good points I though about the game last night. The 1st thing one brought up and if you think about it have to agree. He said offensively he was impressed , because being the 1st game of the year your offense is usually can be rust lagging. He said but for KU to come out and hang 87 points on any Tom Izzo tam is pretty dam good, he said especially when you consider McCormack didn’t really have that great of a game , AND you was missing Jalen Wilson- you take that combination and hang 87 on Michigan State - -not to shabby. Also talked about Oachi and scoring his 29 points , not necessarily that he scored 29 points BUT how efficient he was in scoring those 29 points in taking 17 shots to score those 29 points , said he looked like for once he had the look of a dominant player, like I’m gonna get mine They brought up other good points about the team - talking saying Bill wanted after last year to be more athletic - - they ARE more athletic , talked about how the team can get out and run every position player for his position can get out - - true. - - - talked about the young guys being Athletic - - -He mentioned and I agree - -we got us one I think with Bobby Pettiford - -kid is gonna be a stud. They talked about saying now - - if you think Oachi is going to go out and score 29 night in and night out - - that’s not going to happen BUT like they said he shouldn’t have to , if Oachi can go out score in between 15-20 in a game - -were good, and saying what we seen from Dave last night isn’t what were going to see as the Season goes on - -talked about how he always starts slow, that they know he will come talking about if Christian goes out and gets those 7-8 rebounds a game can hit an open three every now and then when he got it, grab some rebounds like he did last night - that’s all we need. - -Talking about how we know Remy is gonna get his, you figure he didn’t score in the 1st half last night and ends with 15 , true they said he may take some forced shots BUT he makes those shots - for the most part. - Lot’s of good points brought out. Said true you can’t over value ONE game but for the 1st game against a quality opponent - pretty solid
