If it hadn’t been for Grayson I’d been in Tennessee. “Tom Dooley” The Kingston Trio.

Everyone of our guys currently suck on offense. Hunter on bunnies, free throws and triples. Juan makes inappropriate turnovers and is poor on long set shots but entertains us on his long drives behind the basket and when he comes out on the other side nothing has changed because the other nine players have stopped to watch him and wondering why. Now that we know we are losers why not have more fun. Starting five: Flory, Passmore, Zeke, Diggy and Shak. They play the entire first half. Then bench them for Hunt, KJ, Storr, Rylan and Juando. We get to the final four and beat Missouri as Bill is watching from the hospital. Practices would be a spirited scrum.

Slow dancing.

We have played our way into the vast middle of the NCAA basketball road. I think we have a very good roster that collectively does not play that way. The thing that I see is the seemingly bewildered looking plays we make on offense. We play good enough defense once we get behind but can’t take advantage of it.

Watching this team is just like seeing a stick man doing the robot dance.

Utes with a DD our turnovers and their offensive boards.

Hunts last air ball was brutal.

Great defense this half.

Hunt 2/8? Really man?

We came in as solo 4th place in the conference. Staying there will be fine with me. I do like to play with a lead every once in a while.

I don’t like their 8 3PTs but love our 5!

Kease is an awful FT shooter but has that NFL ready body.

KU is elite in two defensive stats. Opponents FG% and 3PT%.

@kuballin10 You’ve got me there.

@kuballin10

As you said when he lets them play free and get out offensively. We are a better team when/if we play hard and without fear. Really it is without having to worry about being pulled if you take a non-Self shot from three which is a missed shots. Let them sort it out. When you go 1 out of 12 over two games there are options like Storr over Rylan or Coit over Shak. If you dog it getting back on defense or don’t fight around a screen, etc, then you deserve to be put in time out. I agree with 61-59 as a loser and we have gone three out of five wins over and over this season. Bill is a great coach so you will have to take it up on yourself to make a splash and if you can’t do that which is not likely with AJ or Rylan then we see 18 minutes for Flory and 30+ for KJ. No one will step it up over six games that I can see.

I will say this gently and out of kindness for all. Buzz killers or negative persons who seek to dampen the mood, enjoyment and pleasure of others can cast a pall over all of this. I have always looked forward to our daily discourse but now it’s depressing.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Hunter missed a bunch of close in. When you get a good look and it fizzles it hurts plus they can get out and run.

@kjayhawks

Yeah I was talking more about the end. Storr and Rylan our gel guys had an off night from three 2/11 and are still not there or here or somewhere but it was just a bad shooting game but Storr made nice things happen.

It’s alright we had plenty of good shots not fall that normally would.

We played hard until the end and they had 13 threes and 4 or so were BS makes. Not our day and it hurts a because it’s K-State.

Now answer.

Lol

Bull poop three

KSU is just playing harder. Can we please?

On AJ’s dribble drive he did not fall in love with the three. If they charge you drive around them if you are wide open shoot it.

Just when there is hope.

They are playing great at home against their most hated rival. We can seem to answer the bell. They have received all the crazy bounces, Just keep plugging and don’t do lousy plays on offense.

We missed 7 puppies and that’s where fast break points start. Other than that it would have a lead likely.

Really a miracle shot.

They have feasted on our poor finishing

missing Harris.

Good d.

We are just missing open shot and layups. Keep playing D.

Ok get a bucket.

what happened on that lob?

KSU will be frantic and on us hard. Our pissy wissy early game passes won’t help unless but we can avoid them. This game could be our next step in recapturing the elusive mojo hawk.

@rockchalkjayhawk

Tired physically and mentally and one feeds the other. A welcome four day rest for the team.

Good job by AJ in becoming more valuable by not just his shooting but staying home on defense, understanding the switching thing and willingly being more physical. Rylan kept playing hard through the shooting lapse and the determination on his face when he made the three later in the game was good. It’s clear the better they play the better we are. Rylan doesn’t back down either. The non-called elbow to the head by Zeke during his drive was a payback. ISU came out of a TO and were deliberate in their intimidation attempts. Our guys bristled at that especially Juan, Zeke and Hunter who performed his semi-cheap shoulder bump on a couple of guards who had wandered into his painted house uninvited. How rude of them.

@Crimsonorblue22

Great play and kind of inspiring to the team and crowd. I think Juan was getting tired of the refs.

Watched the highlights and guys were tired. Rylan hands on his knees in the first half, Zeke trying to drive downhill and finally just burying another long one. The defenses were not as sharp but it’s easy to see why. Pride was evident. ISU getting physical but no one backed down. Good work guys. It was cool to see Rylan make a dinger and the joy/relief on his face.

My wife is testing my resolve. She said why don’t you come to bed? Hopefully I’ll be back before the end of the half time.

Saturday is a long time ago. Bill Self.

Good defense keeping they away from the basket.

Diggy blocking out.

Ten bench points.

Another 11 points and they’ve got us where they want us.

I can see us winning the next five games. Every game I have seen a path to a win and feel perplexed when it doesn’t happen. Just if this thing or that will happen and I hope this thing or that doesn’t happen. You coach between games and coach during games to support your strategy. It’s up to players after that.

Hunter: Our most (only) reliable scorer. There’s little reason why he doesn’t score 25 every game. Throw it in to him is our only set offensive play. He really should make more of his chippies and he is a reliable free throw shooter. He can defend but prefers you come to him. Zeke: A pure scorer who doesn’t shoot enough. Gets the most attention on defense with a long athletic guard in his face. I really don’t notice him on defense. Kind of a strange propensity to pass to players under the basket when they are not paying attention. Juan: Is running a ghost offensive scheme. Can pass and defend and will shoot when no one else is open or refuses to shoot. He kind of freelances it because no one else can or will run the point. KJ Adams: Is annoyed or perplexed when someone passes to him on offense and we are too… Can defend and do vicious dunks which are coming less frequently. A warrior without an enemy. Rylan: Can score from everywhere, sees the court well and makes good passes. Sometimes outsmarts himself when dribbling. I don’t remember what he does defensively. AJ: He is scary when running the floor. He is willing to stick his nose into the rebound scrum. When he can play freely he shows game to spare. His three point shot looks good enough to keep passing him the ball. And we all like to see him on the receiving end of the lob passes. Shak: His speed and effort are there to see. Is he our next point guard? IDK. Not supposed to be a deep threat but we have seen him get hot. Last game he was somewhere but I don’t remember seeing him and his stat line bears that out. Could probably get better at handling screens on defense. A lot of us seem to love him and some think his injury has him running behind. Diggy: He’s here he’s there where is he? Is he the 5th starter or is Rylan?

@rockchalkjayhawk Yep 30 - 12 I was projecting around the 25 point mark we might get very close to 50 in the half. Hunter bricked 4 straight easy shots and I was thinking we should be up a lot more than this because our defense didn’t look really good and Baylor was throwing it away and missing easy shot after shot and never much all the way up to 21. I thought I hope we don’t come out flat at the start of the second half and it was worse than I could have imagined.
