Creighton was missing their starting point guard, Steven Ashworth. He was back Saturday vs ND and played 36 minutes.

That was a very confusing ending. The ball was snapped before the Raiders were set. QB wasn’t even looking but said he clapped his hands too early. If they weren’t set, it should have been a false start. But Illegal Formation? Did KC decline it?

Marcus Adams is playing for CSUN this year and has put up some points against non-P4 opponents. (Cal State Northridge)

Zuby had 22/10 in 42 minutes, but only 6/12 at the stripe. He’s showing potential.

So KU is on ESPN+. #1 in the country. What is ESPN showing instead? Northern Illinois vs Miami OH football! ESPN2? Western Michigan vs Central Michigan football!

@wissox - Rick Pitino, IIRC.

I see Zuby Ejiofor, KU to St John’s a couple of years ago, still has scoring and rebounding woes. Pitino may bench the junior.

@rcjhdraft - Screw ups at the end of the game are habitual this year. At least KSU didn’t score before the half. Another loss.

Trade for Kupp?

Probably not going to get any easier next year?

Am I right? KU has given up a touchdown in every game in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half?

@Texas-Hawk-10 - Even though they gave up a lot of yards in the first 30 minutes, it was close at half. Inept offense in the 2nd half let it get out of hand (although a couple of calls that could have gone KU’s way might have changed everything). I would have to see the splits by half though.

@Texas-Hawk-10 - KU offense didn’t do enough to stay on the field. Thus, the defense was gassed. Still looks like the O takes most of the blame, IMO.

*KU gives up a touchdown right before the half - again. *4th qtr collapse - again.

These players have to be feeling pretty low.

@patoh3 - years and years of being the worst team on the field. Refs will do those teams no favors. Plays need to be clearly a catch. No questionable penalties. Last year may be an outlier as far as other teams are concerned.

KU will get no calls with their reputation. Appears obvious today.

@jayballer67 - White Sox aren’t done yet. It could get worse.

KSU circles this game on the calendar. They fear losing and they have a serious winning run. They don’t want to be the ones to break that streak. Ergo, blowout?

The Defense is a contributing factor too. They seem to fold in the last 5 minutes of each half. Are they playing “prevent” or ???

@nuleafjhawk - Now that’s funny!

Lance will bail IMO based on “lack of fan support”. JD needs to become a RB or WR. Ballard to QB? Defense - how do you fix something that broken?

Now 1-3. This season held such promise. Another 4th qtr collapse.

Up to the D now.

Gotta admit, I have pretty low expectations. JD throws the ball very hard, making it hard to catch. Run game has to work. D has to stop WV run game.

Anyone have information about Boot Camp? Not seeing much.

Expectations were so high…. Daniels is lost. Why can’t KU football have nice things?

Just saw a Tweet that said 6 turnovers by Jalon Daniel’s in the last 100 minutes of football. What’s going on?

Same stupid stuff before the half.

Listening via KU Athletics. It’s a play ahead of ESPN+. At least I know what’s going to happen and can watch for it. Announcers are better too!

Two turnovers already.

Looks like the angry Jayhawk on the sleeve. Love it!

Also, per CBS Sports, Bean “injured his shoulder on his one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Colts’ preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday. If he clears waivers, Bean could be invited back by Indianapolis to be on the practice squad, or he could look to take his talents elsewhere.”

Per CBS Sports, “ If the tight end clears waivers, his most likely next move will be joining the practice squad with New Orleans.”

@wissox - interesting find! Can you link the tweet or at least who posted it?

@mayjay - Yogi’s biography is a great read!

@Jhawk69 - Actually yesterday for soccer and a few others started yesterday and today. Already a big issue on one soccer game. Friday night is the the big parade.

@approxinfinity - assumed name of Furry Jonphy?

@FarmerJayhawk - IIRC, that “beating up on MIAA schools” gave them most of the money for their athletic department budgets. That will be hard to replace if discontinued.

@BShark - any further word on this guy or ???

Any magic left in HCBS this year or is the roster final? I haven’t see any rumors of potential 2024 MBB recruits in a while.

@jayballer67 - It appears 3 of their best 5 players are centers. How do they all of them on the floor at once? I suppose one could play the “4” but Big12 caliber 4’s are generally pretty fast. It will be interesting to see what Tang does with these guys when the conference season rolls around.

@rockchalkwyo - he was born 2006, so he’s 18 now. I assume this year’s class not next. No idea regarding the pro issue.

Neoklis Avdalas, born 2004. 6’7”. Says he played pro in the Greek league. Is he eligible?

Horrible news about EJ! Hope he duly recovers!

Any chance Noah Shelby drops his redshirt (or does he play off ball)?

Re:Moore - On the Mississippi State page, “ 2022-23 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Watch List • Top 15 “.

Nice.

Grad transfer?

So no Furphy. I heard Jaxson Robinson stayed in the draft. Most draft withdrawals are either returning to their school or looking for starter minutes, IMHO.

I wonder what HCBS is planning?

Apparently he stuttered as a child. Paraphrasing , he once said, “My greatest accomplishment was learning to speak - and your greatest nightmare.” RIP, Bill.

Storr has withdrawn from the NBA draft and is coming to KU.

@Crimsonorblue22 - That is a great response! Why can’t more people respond like this instead of denigrating the man because they have a different belief? Sheesh.
