@approxinfinity I don’t quite know what that all means but do what you think is best. We appreciate you a lot for keeping us together!

That game thread had almost 700 comments! Our game threads don’t approach those numbers these days.

Tagged old favorite @dynomitehawk in a comment, and I clicked on his name. For those not familiar, he (she?) was a very entertaining commenter with a memorable catchphrase “Hide yo kids” at the beginning of every game thread. When I selected his name I saw a game thread against Duke from Nov 2016. A lot of us been around a long time here it appears. It was fun to read. Here it is.

Hide yo kids its bidunga @dynomitehawk we miss you here!

PHOF!!!

Great post! The twitterverse is full of we’re back baby type of posts. Of course last year had a promising start after winning the month of November in the champions game and beating Duke. This maybe feels different.

I don’t think after the UNC game there were any were back baby feelings around here. I think there were some ‘first KU team not to make the tourney since Bush1’ posts.

I was just really excited to see guys finishing at the rim. Bidungas length was neutralized by their size, but by double teaming Flory the guards had an early turkey day beast at the rim which opens up the arc for dessert and the FT stripe for leftovers. It was a joyous half to watch.

The feast hangover hopefully is gone by Tuesday because Hurley took notes on us I imagine. A follow up win sets us up for the grind ahead. Gonna be a war but maybe this year we have the weapons to help us feast on others.

@approxinfinity I agree. From a Chicago Jayhawk perspective it’s been a few rough years. The Sox disaster, the Bears disaster, Bulls disaster, Blackhawks disaster, Jayhawks disaster and Badgers disaster has made the last few sports years rough from my perspective. I’ve always been able to rely on the hooping Jayhawks to make me happy to be a fan, except for the 3 years since the championship.

Yes, thankful for Phog and Larry and Roy and Bill and all the greats they brought to Lawrence.

Yeah, it does look Michigan had the best week in Vegas.

The morons who call it “phog allen fieldhouse”. (I don’t expect everyone to know but it’s Allen Fieldhouse!!

Meanwhile Kentucky handled Tennessee Tech.

@approxinfinity Wow, but are we better than Michigan?

We’re also blocking a lot of shots and in top 10 nationally and improved on our average of 6.9 with 8 tonight. Tennessees length worried me but they didn’t bother our team as much.

Through 7 games on the NCAA stats page we’re 9th in the country on 3 point percentage defense at 24%. Tennessee torched us for 28% but seemingly they were all in the first half. This tournament was great for 3 point defense for us. Seems like we forced a lot of bad threes this week.

My daughter and SIL are here, wanted to watch a movie. I said there’s a good one called Michigan-Gonzaga, but they didn’t want to watch.

When White stupidly fouled out I was kind of upset. But Jamari and ElMarko combine for 24 points, go 4-6 on 3’s, make 9 of 10 FTs. I wonder what would have happened if Self had played them more instead of DaJuan?

That’s all they are going to show about our win?

When the studio crew includes 2 of the fab 5 well Michigan’s gonna get talked about I guess.

@nuleafjhawk We had to suffer through it and you were probably watching Bambi … or eating Bambi if it’s hunting season there.

@rcjhdraft Best win since Duke a year ago I’d say. I thought the sky was the limit after that win.

That’s it, recs for every comment in the next 3 minutes!

We can thank Mr. Blacksleave for fouling Flory late in the shotclock. Ricky was pissed at him. Yanked him out. Looks like the poor kid thought he was supposed to foul. But I think our defense holds them anyway.

@nuleafjhawk we lost by 42. Everyone’s pissed.

I finally caught up to live! What a blast this has been. We were beheaded, dressed and ready to be cooked in the oven when these petersonless turkeys resurrected themselves and won this thing. This is an exhilerating win when considering what I was expecting without DP.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah, as we well know, peaking in November is no guarantee of March success!

@BeddieKU23 I hope Matt Painter gets a title one of these years. Seems like a guy that’s doing things right.

@rcjhdraft No, then it would say 5 oclock.

Rothstein tweeted out the schedule for today and it showed KU game at 4. Everywhere else is saying 6 including KUathletics. Just highlights the confusion of this weird event.

@kjayhawks Selective memory! We actually played them in Hawaii I think in the Maui two seasons ago. It says Honolulu, but I think that was after the fires. We beat them by nine. The two previous meetings were ugly, but we’re 5-3 in the series this century. That’s a lot of meetings for a team that’s not in our conference but we can expect another tough one today and wouldn’t be surprised to see us lose nor would I be surprised to see us win.

@DCHawker Michigan St is looking better than in recent years so far. I’m not convinced Purdue is the best team in the country like they’ve been ranked so far. Maybe it’s memory of March failures past in which I’m still judging them. They have some really good wins including destroying Tech. Illinois is stout but not win it all stout.

Wow that’s an ugly FT

Kyle kid might have the worst ft shot I have ever seen

I can make em with my eyes closed. Muscle memory

Upset over Kansas? We have the worse record! Playing without our superstar.

Wow that’s an ugly FT

@BShark said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Brutal loss, disgusting

Who? Us? I remember you typing that in early April 2022!!

That’s what happens when you don’t call any fouls on orange. You call one and the guy is just shocked, shocked I’m telling you, as shocked as a Franklin Kite in a thunderstorm.

Replay just showed of long hair dude just throwing jamari aside for the loose ball.

Just grab Tiller and throw him around and it’s no foul.

That was a foul?

Yesterday ND was like 4-25 on 3’s against us. Today orange is 4-19.

I’m getting a bit pissed at these refs. They committed 3 fouls to burn fouls at the end of the half. Take those away and it’s only 6 on them all game.

How about calling it a foul on syracuse instead.

Elmarko that’s why it says 4 under minutes played by your name.

You can bloody a guys nose and not get a foul called if you’re a Jayhawk White proved yesterday.

What a bogus whistle.

@stoptheflop We’re not trying to get it inside to him.

@RockChalkinTexas said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Mari 3

Jam3!

@RockChalkinTexas I knew it didn’t look right!

More White and Flory, less Council is what I’d council.

The really bad: We’re not getting to see this develop with DP.

The good, Flory near a double double already. The bad he has 4 turnovers because he became a really tall guard the last half of the half.

The good. Tiller 4-6.

The good, i mean the bad. Council 0-7, has taken the most shots amongst anyone. Sometimes that’s a misleading stat but today he’s earned that halo by missing shots at the rim.

The goodish Jamari is figuring it out. The bad, El Marko isn’t.

The great: 26 rebounds to 11 for them.

I’m outraged that as physical as Syracuse is they’re not over the limit on fouls.

Flory’s post game interview yesterday at the desk with the studio guys was great. he’s got a great personality, smiles a lot.

Too many turnovers.

@BShark Streaming service replay capabilities seriously are lacking compared to what I used to have with DirectTV
