Not a game per se, but Mike Woodson is out at Indy. Every fan on twitter is yelling for Chris Beard. IDK, heck of a coach but goodness character issues abound. I wouldn’t want him for my team. I know the Texas thing was dropped, but still showed some lapses of judgment I think. Set me straight on him if I’m wrong.
@approxinfinity @kjayhawks 3 times in KU’s glory years of later 80’s and early 90s we played Duke in the FF. My go to back then, especially when not living at KU was USA Today. Same thing. In 91 we beat UNC in the semifinals and the focus was Dean and Duke.
Looking at the rankings and I see Duke 2nd in KenPom and of course you can’t avoid Duke because they seem to be permanently enshrined on the main page of ESPN.com. But KenPom also shows the schedule strength and Dukes #'s are kind of weak for a top team. It’s not a big news item to report that the ACC is horrible. Louisville is the 2nd team in Ken Pom in the league, 28th, barely ranked in the polls, but if you look at Louisville’s schedule they have really zero quality wins. No ranked team wins except Indiana which is fraudulently ranked at the beginning of every season and Louisville beat them. By KenPom standards, Clemson is the 3rd team in the league and they have zero quality wins.
So at the end of the season when Duke finishes the league undefeated, which they probably will, Duke will be anointed as the big favorite, etc. etc. I’m not blind, I think they are a really decent team but hard to tell objectively because of that league they’re in. I don’t think they’d be undefeated in our league or the SEC. They did hand Auburn their only loss in Cameron.
The talk should be focused on Auburn because if the name on the shirt read read Duke, the media would be going nuts for what they’ve accomplished. I’m impressed by Auburn. To be unbeaten in that league is incredible. I know there’s still some time to stumble, but they’ll enter the dance as the prohibitive favorite.
@approxinfinity LOL, I just did a quick glance and thought you’d posted a pic of Hitler. I’m like why? But now I understand. I liked Higgins better than Wiggins TBH.
@Crimsonorblue22 Higgins, Wiggins, whatever, when guys stay for 1 year I really don’t get to know them.
Higgins traded to the Heat. Rare long run with same team.
@kjayhawks Not sure how much you pay attention but Indiana is overhyped every year much the same way Nebraska is in football or even ND. Strangely UNC is starting to fall into that same category.
@StLJhawk Mine too. Every once in a while I wonder what dour take he had, but I just keep enjoying all the other commenters.
Wisconsin led 24-4 against Indiana and coasted to their 21st in a row at home over Indiana. If you’re young maybe that isn’t too remarkable but if you remember IU basketball from way back it’s startling. Sports illustrated is still a thing and picked UW 17th in the league and IU 2nd.
Oh this guy shooting is from my brothers town.
At least we aint getting swept by the freaking clones
I wonder when the last time Self didn’t use a TO except a use it to lose it in the 1st half?
@MoonwalkMafia Well the good news is they were both early enough in the season to regroup and get this thing rolling again.
My hope for saving NCAA sports is some sort of sanity on NIL and the Portal. I’m guessing Bill Self isn’t going to take too much more of this just like Bennett and Wright, and K and Williams, and as of today, the FSU guy and of course Saban.
TJ Pugh in the house. He’s a cancer doctor out in Denver. Pretty cool to hear.
@nuleafjhawk Welcome to my winning game thread! Only positive comments allowed to counter all my negative ones about the refs.
Hanni said Fran is going nuts right now on that call.
These bulllcrap touch fouls on us after they maul the crap out of hunter

Hunter has 3 blocks, didn’t see that coming. BTW ISU is missing a good player who hurt us last time right?
@DanR I was not a runner until about 15 years ago and hit my PB last fall in a 5K at about 29 minutes. Two thyroid cancer surgeries since then have been a little bit of a setback and a radiation treatment coming too, but I’ll be fine. Radiation just taking care of a few cells that are still in there. I’m a year older than you, but we’re kind of rarities to be doing this at all at this age. Keep it up.
I wasn’t watching Saturday, and I didn’t start the game thread then either so I feel good about this one.
I went @Red_Rooster on that one and rec’d everyones comment!!
@kjayhawks Imagine if they both get hot in the same game.
@DanR I ran on a treadmill just before game, must have been 80 inside the Y. 3 miles, 29 minutes.
11 of our shots inside the arc, 10 outside. That’s ok when we’ve made 40% of the outside the arc.
@BeddieKU23 Something sure is on point. ISU got 15 points.
We got the highstepping ref this game. Anyone notice him?
Wow, did you guys know Mayo is from Lawrence? What they gonna say next, Neal is from here too?
@approxinfinity They mentioned a defensive lapse before the missed layup.
Hanni said Storr it’s 1 step forward, 2 back.
We can’t get a freaking whistle in our own gym.
Hanni says this is the 5 he expected to see starting this season.
@dylans I’ve got one, I can mail it to you.
