@truehawk93 pretty hard to get charges this year, if that goes the wrong way, they’re hurting more than we are w/ fouls. Although there were some called against us in the first game. Selden needs to pull up.
-
Even more than that… teams scout us and realize ball/head/shoulder fakes get’em to the FT line!
-
@drgnslayr I thought our bigs handled EKY’s fakes fairly well. But they still jumped out of the dome in most cases.
-
@drgnslayr plus we try to block every shot!
-
Black has got to stay out of foul trouble!
-
Down to just the UCONN / VILL game.
If I was God of earth, I’d schedule NIT games in the middle of the night for us hardcore bball nuts!
-
Everytime Wigs drives, I hold my breath and hope for the best. Then a whistle blows and my heart stops for a milisecond. Then it’s usually against the defender. It just bothers me because he’s aggressive and gets to the line, but I guess the B12 Smart ordeal is still in my mind.
-
He needs to lower his dribble and get a better grip on the ball!
-
“Watch this…” -Mario Chalmers I believe the Nova v. KU game clip is the clip when Chalmers dribbled over to Wright and then lobbed to Arthur.
This game is one of my fav KU games, next to '88 and '08…and a few others. I hope they have a game or two like this game.
Jay Wright’s commercial cracks me up.
-
According to the Rivals scouting report on Stanford, http://kansas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1623411, they have good players, but are very inconsistent. Their bigs tend to have foul troubles. So we need to drive at them and get them into foul trouble. So Wiggins in beast mode will be a great advantage for us. If we make up all the 3s we missed in the first game, we will beat them by 100.
OK, I will take a 30 point beat down.
-
@drgnslayr I thought someone made a great observation about WIgs’ dribble. It’s really high and a bit out of control. That spin move he does in traffic scares the crap out of me too. His dribble takes so long between his hand and the floor. Unfortunately, I’ve seen him lose the ball too.
-
@Wishawk I think we can get them, but KU has to be careful of charges too. They will stop defending and start standing in the way. They have to be wise when they drive: know when to pull up, pass or change directions.
-
@truehawk93 Yes, the charging call is tricky and inconsistent too. Hope the officials forget about the new twist in interpreting the rules. That was too confusing.
-
And the ball slips out of his hands…
We stand up great on paper… for whatever that is worth. We looked great on paper against VCU and UNI, too.
It’s March… we just need players playing hard and not over-thinking. Tharpe better get his act together because when he is screwing up itt makes all our guys think instead of play. It’s called anxiety… minds stumbling and the game unravels.
Imagine how hard it is to stay focused. Seems every human on the planet is watching you play a game. The guys that win are guys that have their heads in tunnelvision… ffocusing only on the game, playing in a rhythm, mind on basketball autopilot. So imagine that and then imagine your PG melting down in front of you. What comes natural is to leave your tunnelvision and address the struggle. Before you know it, the entire team is out of whack!
-
@drgnslayr stop that talk, now!
-
@truehawk93 but more times than not, he gets to the ft line.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yep…I just have to trust his talent.
-
@truehawk93 Saw you were trying to modify the imbedded Youtube video. I think you may try using the link they provide in the “Share”,
, instead of the one in the address, https://…
-
@Wishawk Yep…I get them mixed up, but they are viewable. Those imbedded vids bring this huge pic with the arrow to click. I prefer to use that share link to keep things simple. Thanks
-
Great memories! Go uconn!
-
Hey guys! I’m still watching, too, Just wanted you to know you’re not alone!
-
@Wishawk Badgers had a 2nd half offensive explosion!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Good times and one of the most dominate teams. They suffered a lot too before getting to the '08 NC.
-
@VailHawk I have Wisconsin in 3/4 brackets.
I have Nova in all 4 brackets. I still can’t believe KU lost to Nova in Atlantis.
-
@truehawk93 yeah I picked all the teams that beat us to go far!
-
I’d like to see North Carolina stick it to Michigan State. They can do it… didn’t they already do it to them a few months ago?
We play well against Roy!
So everyone root for Roy… he’s a free advance for us!
-
@VailHawk They sure did! We will probably have a Badger attire day in the office on Monday.
-
-
@Wishawk Didn’t know Bo had that much offense in him!
-
@VailHawk pick a hawk to rock
-
This post is deleted!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I said Naa last game trying to will it to happen…alas we know how that worked out. Wiggs seems too easy a choice…how bout a Selden coming out party!
-
@drgnslayr Roy hates to play us, didn’t he go to our bench one time? I like Roy, should retire while he’s still got it.
-
@VailHawk I said Tharpe too, for the same reason!
-
I loved Roy but am sooooooo glad we got/have HCBS
-
If I was Self, Tharpe would be my bubblegum. I’d chew his ass in the morning, noon and night! I’d pull a Bobby Knight… chew him up and spit him out… send the kid in shock and see if he can play like a wounded animal. Something has to change in Tharpe to put him in a higher state of mind.
-
@VailHawk Selden is due!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Did he score from the field yesterday?
-
@VailHawk I’m a Badger fan, but I don’t like Bo much. The team is good and has several talented players. And they play gritty. This is team is a little different from the traditional defense oriented Wisconsin teams. They have balance.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Don’t get me started on Tharpe. I discussed him with my brother today. I had to shut up. I guess it makes me so frustrated because he is capable but his head is in the wrong place too many times.
Tharpe is overdue. Selden is in cruise control. Wigs was a little off against EKY. It’s really hard to say who will show. Ellis had a really quiet and efficient game too. I think the EKY game was a game for everyone to get the cobwebs out. It will be interesting to see who steps up this Stanford game.

Hey Villa, whats the deala? Thought you ate-a Hawk?
Maybe you choked on a feather?!
-
I just want our guys to know how IMPORTANT every possession is…no lackadaisical passing (Naa) and play like you want to embarrass the other team!
Remember the first half of the UNC game in 08?
-
@drgnslayr Ok…I like bubble gum. Tharpe just had an interview prior to the EKY game and said he learned from the the Michigan game last year. He then performs like he’s never even been to the ncaas. I have no idea what is wrong with this kid. I love the movie “Life” with Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. Tharpe’s new name is “Can’t Get Right.”
-
@truehawk93 Funny!
-
@VailHawk Sorry it’s not the most PC vid clip, but dang it, it reminds me of Tharpe. He can play, but he commits some of those “retard mistakes” at times that make me so angry. If we go deeper, we can’t afford Tharpe’s retard mistakes.
-
Vill is dead. Good guards won’t give away a game at the end. UCONN is a guards school.
-
@drgnslayr Ollie is doing a great job as Calhoun’s replacement. They are clean too.
How did we lose to Nova?
-
Ollie looks good because of Napier…
-
@bskeet He’s cleaned the program too. Calhoun had it in shambles. I’m not talking just floor performance, but just overall program performance. Ollie and Kruger have done great jobs cleaning their respective programs.
