@ajvan Do you consider Danny Manning to be an old timer? Just curious.

@approxinfinity Highlights of mine from that game. Milt Newton reverse layup early 1st half. Chris Piper shot clock beater. Dave Seeger of Oklahoma makes 6 3’s in first half. Billy Packer, the announcer keeps saying Kansas can’t keep up with Oklahoma at that pace. To me the best play of the game, right near end of 1st half Danny gets a fastbreak and Oklahoma’s star Stacy King is running after him. Danny slows down at the rim, on purpose, so King can try to block his shot, and instead fouls him for an and 1. Brilliant Danny maneuver. He missed the FT, so it wasn’t a true and 1!

2nd round coming today!

Doke at Baylor, won Big 12 POY, and became National POY finalist over Dotson because of that game.

I was really looking forward to our Game of the Year being the 6th game in the NCAA Tournament. Ugh

@justanotherfan some of us should probably take a lesson on that. Glad to see you post man.

@BShark Hmm that sounds familiar…

The disdain for OU and Tubbs was right there with Mizzou for several years. The 88 championship was such sweet justice after the rivalry became bitter. It seemed to deflate OU and put KU on a trajectory that we continue to enjoy today. Wayman Tisdale was the one that got it started for me… then Stacy King, Mookie Blaylock… the Grant brothers… they were just stacked and had such attitude. Over the years, I have grown to respect some of those players a bit (Tisdale RIP). But less so for Tubbs, and that video illustrates why. It’s vintage Tubbs. He and Norm Stewart earned their place in basketball purgatory, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m just sitting here worried that the snow is going to cause me not to be able to see my game. - - I’m on direct Tv and every little storm rain - -wind - -snow - -ice whatever it maybe , whatever it is comes up ( Complete Signal loss ) - so just hoping. - - also hope the guys come out focused and ready to go. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY Yeah I gave up on dish years ago. Between all the trees around the house and bad weather it was pretty much a no go. We cut cable a couple of years ago and have gone all streaming so the + deal isn’t as annoying for me. BUT that still made me snort!

A friend pointed out two errors. Cheick is with the Suns and I totally whiffed on Oubre’s productive play with the Suns as well. Thanks @JayHawkFanToo!

@kjayhawks Since I cheer for Chicago guys, I too was excited for him. I’d seen him play in HS and he looked really good when I saw him. But wow, he let the whole Windy City down last year!

BShark said: The NCAA moves too slow for a post season ban this year imo. Ya Norlander and Dodd = both said they don’t think you will see any thing for this season - - said it will be likely in 2020 if there is a ban and or sanctions. Long said KU ha their list of allegations/charges - -and now he said KU has 90 days for they’re rebuttal - -said they were going to take they’re time and that the fans are going to have to understand it will be a time we don’t hear anything -KU won’t be able to talk about it - - Self won’t be able to talk about it. Said he hopes the KU fans will understand He said people going will be talking a lot about us and he hopes the KU fans knows that we are running the program the right way and fully feel that when it’s done they will win this case.

Lol I though he had died when I saw the title.

@wissox thx!

@wissox I’m ok with it right now because Eaton has been hot, our top 3 starters should be dominant come playoffs if Scherzer comes back healthy, and our bullpen was bolstered at the deadline and should be good if Ross and Fedde move to long relief, we cut Matt Grace, and possibly move Rainey, Strickland or Hudson into closer role in lieu of Doolittle. We’ve scored 11 or more in 5 of the last 7 games. I’m glad Giolito is working out for you. Since our starters have been good I always thought of him as a trade chip for help in the bullpen. Losing Treinen and Filipe Vasquez hurt a little more because they are now All Star relievers.

@justanotherfan Who eliminates you is sometimes a measure of whether a team choked or just got beat by a good team. Since I came to KU in 1985 they’ve lost twice in the first round, and Bradley went on and made the sweet 16. So (other than the probation year) KU has lost to a team that made the sweet 16 every year except the Bucknell year.

@wissox have my moments.
