Not sure, but kinda think I enjoyed watching the flat out drubbings instead of these creative ways to lose games.

Eff as usual, unreal.

Apologies. I was wrong. 0.4 seconds left and they score.

Not to be Debbie Downer (but it is part of being a KU football fan)…I can see Kansas scoring, and UCF then scoring with 10 seconds to go.

Why does Nagy field that???

I think Paul is perfectly serviceable. He's not a super star, but no reason he can't play extended minutes as needed with his size.

@BShark

Collectively there's talent but I think familiar issues will pop up as the season goes due to the misfit roster construction. Tired of beating that drum though.

I loved how TKR fit in and he's someone they desperately need at the 5.

I thought White played like a confident scorer.

Blyden looked good but remember the opponent given to how he looked against Duke and Louisville. His shooting is desperately needed.

Fordham was a lot better then expected and had legit size so good to see them pull away after the timeout early in the 2nd. Good win to start

Yea, def looks like a bunch of misfit toys at the moment. Well maybe not misfit, but unfamiliar. As a team, we need a focal point. I imagine in this weird era of a new team every year, lots of teams like us will need time to gel and pick a path or style.

Hoping we can do that quickly. Will Stokes take over?

Oh, and did I mention we had 41 freaking bench points?????

I recall last year seeing under 10 most games! Wow.

Go Hawks!

Well, we should start a guess the score thread every game … I projected 93-67. Close!

So far in a game that counts, we don’t appear to be running the game through Stokes as I thought we would. He barely seemed involved at times. Weird.

I stand halfway corrected: Blyden is still a Smurf, but he balled out. Impressive.

TKR is a hefty human. He looks like an old school power forward. Thick.

We got some sorting to do with players, rotations and PT, huh. My spidey sense tells me we have to be careful with how many bigger, slower players we have on the floor together. Especially If Self has em outside and hedging. We could be real slow footed at times.

Predictions: White will lead us in points and 3s, Council in assists and steals, but not sure about rebounds. Playing time could dictate that. Stokes potentially.

I see we continue to suck at FTs. Gotta fix that, quickly. It’ll be important soon, especially for Mr Foul Line (Stokes).

More Trent Perry! More Adkins! And I’m serious on Adkins. Quicker feet and agility are helpful.

Oh I am HEATED after this one.

Yep.

Boy did Mahomes F that one up near the end. Taking that sack to put the Chiefs out of reasonable FG range was total amateur hour. Throw it away, idiot! Some inexcusable penalties really cost em.

@wissox83 said in KU TCU:

@kjayhawks2.0 I gave up watching. What was the situation you referred to about going up 16-0.

Kansas was on the TCU goal line leading 13-0. Instead of kicking a field goal to go up 16-0 they decided to once again go for it on fourth down, and failed, giving the ball back to TCU.

So they left points on the field instead of extending the lead to potentially three scores needed by TCU.

@AsadZ said in KU TCU:

Except for two mistakes, Ballard was good, better than what I had expected.

He had not practiced due to his own injury but played with composure against a very good D.

Yea, I was rooting for Ballard. Those big mistakes were game changers unfortunately.

Otherwise I thought he played well.

And we are back to our regular scheduled programming known as KU football. Always take the point to extend a lead.

Up 16-0 if we chose to go for a FG.

Just don’t understand.

Well, at least they followed tradition and lost in only ways Kansas Football can lose. Incredible.

How many times per game can you say “comedy of errors?”

Guess what, we win this game if we don’t miss an extra point — don’t miss a chip shot FG — and decide to kick another chip shot FG instead of going for it and missing on fourth down.

Well, ok. There was the comedy of errors in between all that.

Sigh. Kansas football.

Wow. Surprising.

@rockchalkjayhawk What do you mean by 3-5s?

Oh, sorry. Small forwards, power forwards and centers.
