Anyone else love the Council dunk, this is a rivalry not arts and crafts 🫡

Merry Christmas friends

Not so fun with the box score!

FGs

Tre White — a shocking 1-3

Melvin Council — a not so shocking 4-13

Elmarko Jackson — a pleasing 4-9

Box score invisibility

Bryson Tiller — did he even play?

Jayden Dawson — I thought in the summer he was an obvious starter. Maybe now losing playing time. He seems brain dead.

FTs

KU — 15-21

UConn — 6-8

That’s a winning formula. What the heck happened??

Starters played too many minutes and we didn’t rebound

@approxinfinity @drgnslayr @nuleafjhawk thats the issue it’s not about academics, tradition, hell id even argue it has much less to do with basketball. It’s about money and only money for most. I bet 90% of our roster would go elsewhere for more money tomorrow. AFH isn’t the problem, I was told by several people the atmosphere was top tier Tuesday evening. One of two things is going on either we aren’t good at evaluating talent and are paying the wrong guys. Or we don’t have NIL to compete with the UConn, Duke, UNC and several others. I’ve gone back and forth with which it is, Most likely a little of both. Let me ask ya’ll outside of the last few seasons, when has Kansas not had hands down the best roster in the conference? How about a top 5-10 roster in the Country? I’m not sure I can remember not having hands down the best team in the conference since its inception before 2024. Id trade our roster all day for Duke or UNC prob Houston or Arizona maybe BYU.

The better team won. misery had a lead for a little while because they dominated the glass. They were able to get 2nd/3rd chance points, frustrate us into playing tight, and keep us from having the ball. But then we remembered how to rebound and it was over.

Remember at half time when I said if we rebound it’s a 20 point game?

Saddest stat of the season so far….. Darryn Peterson has played a grand total of 22 minutes in AFH.

DP played 32 minutes last night and hit some very clutch FTs. Everyone criticizing him should be on here singing his praises. I believe in accountability but also believe in a pat on the behind. Great game DP, let’s keep it going young fella!

Hey we beat Missouri’s A$$ this afternoon

Need to lock the guards in the gym over Christmas break and do nothing but layups and 3s.

Kinda frustrating that Jason Bean may not get a chance in Indy. They are going to sign 44 year Phillip Rivers to play. Seems pretty silly to me, you got a young that could have future or an old guy that is years past his prime

@BeddieKU23 Saturday we on fox again so I’m excited to not hear from the peanut gallery all game.

Ya I’m hearing Fran was a tool bag the whole game yet again. Maybe Bill watching at home realizes why the fans hate him so much at this point.

I don’t think I’ll make it, will try not to even turn it on some I’m not invested lol. Vaughn has been named acting coach for tonight’s game.

There is an article on ESPN breaking down why 2026 Indiana is a better team than 1894 Yale. Sports journalism at its finest!

They have to get creative the SEC is out and the ACC isn’t looking like the conference they once were in CBB.

@crimsonblu22 definitely a sad situation all around with what happened at the hawk and the homeless around town. It’s sad to me with all fraudulence in government and billions we send over seas to have Americans on our streets. Would be like me giving my paycheck to the neighbors so they could prosper while my family starved right in front of me. I was young once too and snuck out a time or two mainly to hang out with girls. But if I ever got caught inside or outside a nightclub at that age and hour, my dad would’ve kicked my ass into the middle of the next month. Not to get way off topic but coaching my sons 5th grade basketball team this season compared to my nieces and nephews 10 years ago, the accountability for one’s actions are non existent for most of these younger kids. I ran one of the kids extra for telling his mom to shut the F up. I would’ve got my ass belted by my mom, my dad and both my grandfathers if even thought about saying something like to an elder let alone my mother.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Murder at The Hawk:

Scant details about the incident yet. I would really like to hear some witness accounts to see where and how it happened. This seems like a big stink for Lawrence. I was surprised to see Lawrence averages about 5 murders per year recenty.

Still unclear if it was in or outside the Hawk. Key detail IMO! Can't believe nobody has tracked down the incident report yet.

I know some long time Lawrence residents that moved on a few summers ago. They said after the homeless camp moved in the drugs and the violence got worse.
Edit: not saying it had anything to do with what happened here

Sounds like the two that were injured were simply bystanders in an altercation they had no part in. Which is incredibly sad but the injured kids parents failed him miserably. A 16 year old outside of a night club at 2 am is absolutely unacceptable behavior and the parents that allowed should be ashamed of themselves.

Man this is becoming a serious issue, is that 3 years in a row he has been hospitalized with heart issues? Bill has given a lot to this program and we are all very appreciative of such but Coach please don’t give your life. If you heart can’t handle it please step down, enjoy the fruits of your labor and being a grandpa.

@nuleafjhawk @beddieku23 the Mildcats are really bad like Jim Wooldridge in the early 00s bad. That being said we all know they’ll play their best game of year Saturday. A guy that shoots 19% from three will be 4/6 in that one.

Now that we have seen an extended version of DP it’s pretty obvious that he was definitely slowed to start the season. He’s moving so much better defensively and without the ball on offense. I’m hoping to make it to a game this season when he plays. I tell people you can see so much more of what is going in person compared to TV angles. I thought that watching Wiggins and Embiid in AFH. Remember Wiggins in the game I went to missing a block, coming back down and actually getting the block before the opposing player even moved.
