1100 entries I see. Wanting play time or better NIL? I wonder if the rating makers at Rivals, etc. are looking at their choices and seeing how right and wrong they ended up being. Furphy is sitting at around 15 in the draft. He’s gotta be gone isn’t he? I am going to watch Edey as a pro to see if he has modern center skills. There are so many mobile big guys from international countries playing now.

RE: What about 2020?
If this team could have shot for s### Juan would have led the nation in assists. I heard Self ordered new computer controlled rims for Allen.

RE: Zigging the Zags
Getting our shots. They are getting easier shots. Furphy looks tired or not excited.

RE: Zigging the Zags
Parker was I don’t know what. Watch for the second half be a foul fest. Just saying.

RE: Zigging the Zags
We imploded at 24 points and then exploded and Few has our defense down.

RE: Zigging the Zags
They are not usually a great three pointer team but we’re against McNeese

RE: Sams club game chat
Wow we are getting blown out by the bettors. Isn’t a sweet 16 on the line? I think Bill will get us good looks just need to look to the future. Looking to see Furphy have an all around impact on the game. Juan Juan Juan you gotta do it.

What are the chances we get 30 minutes of good Elmarko today?
Our best mid range guy. 12-14 pts is reasonable.

RE: Sams club game chat
Absolutely true. That may have been the game saver and the trey he hit in the second half was a boost at the time. He and Elmarko both have made instinctive wow plays that are indicative of a special skill that we can get used to real quick. Maybe the last game tomorrow but requires all of our strengths being on display and making some dad gum shots. Hunter, KJ and Juan seemed to really like the moment yesterday.

RE: Sams club game chat
Samford played their average game which is forcing 17 turnovers, scoring 86 points per game and making over 10 three pointers at 40+ %. We on the other hand made a few more turnovers than average, hit about twice as many treys as usual and scored almost 20 points more than our average for the last half of the season. We shoot lousy from deep and make risky passes that are our SOP. The flagrant technical was a deliberate attack on Hunter’s injured shoulder and when Hunter missed both free throws the guy celebrated like an a##hole.

Furph’s two early threes REALLY helped (and one by Nic). Could have gone wrong early
And certainly has gone wrong a lot. No three’s since early.

Hunter has shown a lot of composure outside of 1 or 2 possesions
Yes and four consecutive turnovers trying to feed him. Lol.

We couldn’t play any better and we couldn’t play any worse.

RE: Bracket chat
The Samford Freds are the 6th highest scoring team nationally. They shot 39% from three 335/852. Our beloved Jayhawks rang up at 32% 180/547. I trust we will run them off the three point line and not watch Elmarko and Nick chase them from behind to the layup zone over and over until I puke. On the positive side it sounds like Hunter may be fine unless he gets targeted. It would be Pepto Bismol to my soul if we look really sharp and dull their sharp shooters while we snipe, maybe in camo uni’s, them to the tune of one three for every turnover we bumble fumble ourselves. Let’s give their asses the bum-rush out of the tourney.

Hang together guys and keep moving the ball.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in No fear, the future is wide open, playing with freedom thread:
Holy crap!
Cincy MADE 16 3 pt shots tonight. That’s like six games worth for us!
I hope our small ball lineup is better equipped to handle that!
If our remaining KJ, JF, DH, NT, EJ, PB and JM score up to their averages we have 42 points in the bank. I hope for a 40% three ball night please. Will Bill want to feed PB as our first option or what? Even if everyone scores in double digits circa 70 points it may not be enough.

RE: Other bball games
It will be key for us to hit about 3 to 4 more triples than usual and keep them off the offensive boards.

RE: Wounded Jayhawks game thread
We didn’t play that badly and played hard. Their freshman center hit some baskets like a guy who hits golf balls through a tree without touching anything. I think Dajuan did more than his part and Kevin was a little rusty but glad he was back. Hunter was dogged and swarmed for sure. We just had another 25 rebound game like the 26 against TT. KJ ends up away from the basket action and that is his main stat place. Elmarko got us into position to get a chance but we fell away at the end. Furphy is looking like he is not comfortable or confident right now.

@bskeet said in Wounded Jayhawks game thread:
The officiating was not great, but I think I have been sensitized to horrible officiating because it didn’t strike me as egregiously bad as it was with other games.
I did want to ask about that layup that Kevin missed on the fast break in the second half-- I thought a Baylor guy hit the backboard as his shot was coming off the rim… Isn’t that basket interference? I know they called a goal-tending a few min earlier that apparently was controversial, but that’s no excuse to swallow the whistle on that one… Did I not see that correctly? There was no mention by Fran and John (not exactly evidence I would ever build a case on.)
Yep you could hear the backboard thud easily.

RE: Wounded Jayhawks game thread
Furphy not looking to shoot the three it seems like. Better him than anyone else.

@Zabudda They only have 23 points
Thank goodness. We held them to 35 which is the cap if we are to get out of the sixties and have a chance.

Furphy 4 boards and Dajuan with 4 dimes.

Yes.

RE: McCullar out vs Baylor
Hunter 20, KJ 15, Dajuan 15, Furph 15 and Elmjamparknick 5 am I dreaming and reliving the 70’s? There was my gf. Tootsie Taylor in the 70’s and she was no nightmare.

RE: Jacque Vaughn fired
I’m reading draft analysis’ of JayFurp and the advice is for him to wait a year to muscle up. Of course his shooting was his main appeal and one reporter offered that Furphy is going to have an astounding stretch of scoring any game now. His defense has improved and his willingness to crash the boards and run during fast breaks is a big plus. Of course all of this we already knew.
