KU starting guards: 34min, 11min(Griffen), 34min; 9 pts., only 12 shot attempts in 79 combined minutes and 1/5 from 3. It’s no mystery why this team sucks. Worst KU team since the Ted Owens’ era.

Come on guards, score the ball. Jeez, only the bigs came to play

Apparently Tech doesn’t foul. Or the refs are just ignoring Tech

Hunt should have dunked. But KJ cleaned up the rb

I would like to see KU play with defensive intensity. It drives me batty that opposing players come into Allen and feast on offense.

Who else remembers the FT distraction at OU that was a 6ft gorilla behind the backboard and the head spun in a circle? I kind of miss those fan hijinks, but they made me mad during the game. What about the AZ or AZ St person behind the shower curtain. That was a good one. But I sure don’t miss the insensitive antics that we saw in Manhattan and Columbia.

@drgnslayr said in Man is KU is really going to stomp Colorado tonight!:

It’s a win. Once again, “Hated Hunter” leads the way with about half our stats.

So, was the game plan to play through Hunter or did the guards just take the night off? Only 12 3s even attempted by our guards and they only made 3. Altitude, lateness of game or they just don’t care? Or they suck? 16/28 FTs, Jeez. If NIL estimates are correct and Storr was paid $800,000, that means he’s been paid $4,762 per point. 0 pts last night in 8 minutes. And while I’m being negative, KU not being ranked means 3 more clicks on ESPN to get the score. Oh woe is me.

Hurley was his usual petulant self; at one point he as so far out on the court he picked up a St John player’s shoe that had fallen off. I don’t like coaches who constantly wander out on the court like Bruce Weber.

Nice, Zuby with the put back dunk and one. I can’t believe I find myself rooting for Pitino’s team. But, they are playing Hurley’s team, so there’s that.

Saw Zuby put the ball on the floor and take it to the rim in the second half against Sir Danny’s team. Should have been an and one, but since he’s over 6’5" and near the paint it’s a standard no call. Second leading scorer on #10 St John.

I do wish Bryce Thompson well. Very tough college career after all the high school accolades and promise.

Nice rebound (from losses) game, but it is Okie St. After Colo, KU has Tx Tech, Az, then Houston to finish conference. Let’s see if this effort holds up.

@dylans Really just wondering: Does KU have one of the oldest coaching staffs? Sometimes old means experienced; sometimes old means old.

I no longer look forward to KU games. I don’t even watch them anymore; just check the score the next day. I thought KU might gain some all time Ws over Kentucky this year since Kentucky has a first year coach who had only several months to put this year’s team together. But, Kentucky has the same win loss record as Coach Self has been able to achieve-if that’s the correct word. And, most would say the SEC is a better conference this year than the Big 12.

When reluctant Juan is KU’s third leading scorer, that shows us exactly why this team struggles on offense. I also don’t see the necessary intensity on defense; KU plays defense like its a pick up game. 60 second half pts to Baylor is BS.

Well, the Baylor debacle still stings today. I was proud of our guys playing well in the first half and then embarrassed by the second half no show. Something has got to change with this team. I’m tired of KU being overranked preseason, then not playing well enough to get to the second week of the NCAA tournament. This team may not even get to the second game. Well, there’s always football to look forward to. Oh, wait Illinois-L, UNLV-L, West V-L, TCU-L, Az ST-L, then Baylor 45 KU 17. I’ll feel better once I peruse the Rupp Rafters site; misery loves company, right?

Hoping KU fouls out some Bears; 3 players have 4 fouls

I guess I’ll go look for some Super Bowl stories to read. Jeez, this team

Outscored 17-4 in the first 5 min. Come on now guys, now the fans are rocking

Since Omier has 3 fouls, I sure would like to see passes inside to pick up the 4th

So glad the bench showed up on offense because Mayo is completely absent

Omier 0/2, 1FT and 2 fouls; nice d on him

Just one of those games when the rebounds find a jayhawk

Not a good start. 0/3 from 3

KSt up 16, so it will get the upset with only 1:30 to go

Have we heard if Juan will play

@Zabudda said in Other games 2024-2025:

Omier vs Flory and Hunter. Hunter should be able to get his shots. If he is automatic from 5’ - 7’ he will get his 20+. Zeke can get to the rim for a couple and a couple from mid range, 4 FT makes plus two makes from three land. That’s an easy 20+. I think Coit is getting his game all in one bag and shooting 37% from deep. Give the man some minutes. Rylan has a good feel for the game not just from three but he needs to get open looks. Nine or ten threes will get us a solid 70+ which will make Baylor vulnerable. Prediction KU 75 - 68.

Many thanks for your optimism. I need some of that at this point in the season, but can’t seem to generate it myself.

I sure wouldn’t mind seeing Ark upset Kentucky tonight. Not that I’m a Calipari fan, but this would be an extra sweet Kentucky loss.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Jayhawks in the pros:

Hey, surprise surprise.

Looks like Kevin McCullar made his debut finally. G League appearance. Good for him and his mysterious knee. I hope that is a thing of the past.

I’m surprised that some of the Knick references to Kevin list him as a point guard. I wish him great success no matter what position he plays.

Thank goodness the Chiefs won; this team has me completely demoralized.

Watching some of the Tenn/Kentucky game. The Tennessee crowd is absolutely dead; they look like they are watching a movie. Weird. But, the Tenn coaches are just as lifeless.

Wow, not much help from the bench 1/5 3 pts.

Houston is setting its defense inside the arc right now. KU will have to hit some 3s.

Yes our game is on ESPN News right now

Looks like our game will start on ESPN News because the Duke game has 11 minutes of game time left and it’s tied

Nice 17 bench pts.

Juan with 5 assists, but 3 TOs and 0 pts. Just one of those games?

I expect Udeh to play extra hard tonight. I really liked him

I think ISt’s coach wants to win this. Jeez he’s a maniac on the sideline

Ugh, 6.5 dogs to ISt. Ames is my favorite place to win. AFH East. Please, please, please defend their guards and look to score in the paint. KU does have an advantage with our bigs. Come on Hunter, show some energy; dunk the damn ball!

I sure hope Hunter, Flory and KJ score and score often in the paint. RC

Dorrance Armstrong playing well and getting some national attention in the Washington game tonight. Great season for him.

Good grief, the Ark/Fla game is never going to end. Tex/Tenn is 10 min into their 5:00 game while the 3:00 game just won’t end.

31% from the field; 10% from 3. Really ugly KU

Foul in the lane. No wonder the calls are so low

Shooting 2/20 35% just isn’t going to win on the road. Awful

No fouls called in the first 9 min. Nice.

Looking forward to Hunter facing #55 Bandaogo, 7’, 9 pts a game. Cinci has a 6’8" G, #41 Lukosius averaging 13/gm. Yes, any team can beat KU on an off day, but I sure don’t believe Cinci should be favored.

Looks like our game will start on another ESPN channel since Ark/Ole Miss running late

WV losing by 19 at home to AZ sure makes me wonder how KU was behind the entire WV game and lost by 1 pt.
