I go caught in a Jayhawk internet rabbit hole this morning and saw where Andrew White III scored 37 in his debut. I started getting curious how some past Jayhawks were doing so I looked it up. Just merely posting here if any of you were a bit curious too. These are all the stats of this morning:
Motto remains the same…once a Jayhawk…always a Jayhawk
I was real excited for TRob until I looked up the stats for Beijing BeiKong and saw former Baylor PG Pierre Jackson is averaging 39.8 points in 25 games. 23 and 15 is still respectable though.
@Texas-Hawk-10 You also forgot about the following:
3/15 - beating some 16 seeded jokers by 40 @ Wichita
3/17- 15 point win by beating some underachieving 8 seed but has the talent to be 3 seed and the tourney clan tries to screw KU in the hopes of setting up a Kentucky vs. Duke Final Four @ Wichita
3/23- 14 point win over power 5 conference regular season champion but lost in their conference tournament. Foe is too scary to put to the likes of Duke and UK. @ Wichita
3/25 - 8 point win over number 4 seed in the tournament. Figuring the best way to eliminate the competition. This will either be Arizona or Michigan St. @ Wichita
3/31 - 10 point win over Kentucky. Tournament roundup is assuming that if KU would get thru, Calipari would be best to get a second chance at the team that beat them. This is similar to the UK/UCLA methodology last year. @ San Antonio
4/2 - 9 point win over Duke. Grayson Allen and this loaded team shoots poorly from the floor against the KU defense and KU merely presses on for another Rock Chalk 2xx8 championship @ San Antonio
I think ol Bartenderchic mama was slightly misinformed. Billy preston first game…6 minutes, 3 fouls, 2 points, 1/3 shooting, 1 stael, 1 rebound. I don’t have stats from 2000 years ago, but I’m pretty sure jesus Christ had a better debut.
The 1997 team was by far the best team KU had in “recent” memory. Just ran into a hot Bibby and Simon which is pretty common in the NCAA tourney. 97 was loaded; unfortunately, Billy Thomas is still chucking up 3’s that are bangin off the back of the rim. Pollard and Haase had something incredibly low like 2 shots combined and 0 points between them if memory serves me right. I’m too bitter about the game to look up the real stats. My KU - PTSD gets triggered quite quickly if I look at that.
For all you kids that don’t stay up and enjoy the summer league as much as I do…Here’s a snippet of how our beloved Jayhawks did (as always…Once a Jayhawk…always a Jayhawk):
7/1/19:
Dedric didn’t play
Frank didn’t play
TRob: 15min 8pts 2/3field 0/1 3’s, 4/6 FT 3 reb +3 +/-
Malik hustled offensively…constantly beat defensively: 16min 16pts, 7/11field, 2/5 3’s, 0/1FT, 1 board -16 +/- (his +/- wasn’t all on him however. Cleveland is terrible.)
Frankamp didn’t play
I’m aware that this is a stretch for Jayhawk inclusion…but… Milton Doyle played 12 min 2pts 0/2 field, 0/0 3’s, 2/2 FT -2 +/-
Bill Self on De Sousa getting the news: “I know it’s a big relief to Silvio, who has been very patient throughout this process."
My despise for Young increases more daily. But something I saw I thought was very enjoyable:
“MITCH SLAPPED”. verb
-when an opponent is going in for an easy bucket and Mitch F’ing Lightfoot flies out of nowhere & swats that shot into oblivion
In a sentence: -KU literally MITCH Slapped Trae Young and the Sooners last night.
I tend to follow nbadraft.net…It was updated wednesday and Doke is the only one listed in 2019…but 2020 revealed a new name. Agbaji at number 12.
So is everybody back on the bandwagon now? Keep the faith friends. Keep the faith.
got 37 minutes? of course you do…It’s corona-time.
I stumbled on this going down a youtube rabbit hole. I have no idea who the interviewer is and nor do I care…but it’s merely a Gethro meet and greet.
There was a question whether dave was coming back???
Crazy thing is next year, the kids will start publishing videos their intentions of entering or bypassing the transfer portal.
Doug McDermott over Iverson…or Chris Paul???
Bob Lanier over Wes Unseld or Reggie Miller???
and one of the top 3 basketball players of all time is bill russell with his number 6.
FYI…if you need your KU fixes in this time:
Saturday is the day (all times eastern because that’s where I live)
CBS sports network:
3PM KU vs. Kentucky (2012)
5pm KU vs OU (1988…good watch there)
7PM KU vs Syracuse (2003)
The “investigation” was a 100% complete shit show. First, this is the definition of entrapment. Second, the 2 FBI agents…really, the 1 (D’Angelo) was an idiot. The absolute DUMBEST investigation I’ve ever seen…and I watch a lot of documentaries and crime shows.
Every minute that passes during the show makes me realize that this KU on probation thing…aint gonna happen based on any “evidence” from this piece of shit.
If you dont remember Raef, you sure as heck fire dont remember manning. CBS Sports is airing the 88 title game at 5 eastern on Saturday.
Helpful hint…turn the channel immediately following the game. The pain of watching a bunch of 70% shooters, all americans, and future pros missing a billion free throws is after that. I still hate Hakim warrick…and melo
KU deadline today for response to NOA. Supposedly it’s going to be a public rebuttal. Regardless, should be an interesting read while still on this high from yesterday.
@Crimsonorblue22 definitely wasn’t on the court at the end of the game. Houston was shooting free throws to ice their win and while all the other cougars were cheering…Q was sitting there staring straight ahead. I felt for him slightly.
@jayballer73 Butler lost at home. Virginia is in a free fall…and scott drew is the leading candidate for coach of the year.
Weird stuff. Weird stuff indeed.
