WVU Game chat
-
@dylans I mean with wins over #17 and #26 and losses to #18 and unranked.
-
@kjayhawks I’d rather lose a couple here now IF it helps our team to learn and improve that helps us go deeper in tournament.
If not, then we should win them all!
-
Tough week we knew. This will test their mettle and need to get this behind them and get ready for UK.
Night all.
-
18 fouls among 11 players vs 22 among 8. WVU could play without concern most of game?
WVU SCORES 13 more at ft line.
Ku shoots 40% from ft.
KU ONLY forces 8 turnovers–see point one probably?
beating Huggins a 800 win coach at home after back to back losses AND a home whistle?
Coach has been practicing for Kentucky this week.
-
If we don’t win the next 2 kc maybe slipping away.
-
@Blown no way, UK game means little outside of seeding especially if you win tonight. Tonight would’ve all but eliminated WVU from winning the league.
-
@kjayhawks If you think Kentucky gets recruits we want then maybe the UK game is important for us to win a championship.
I can see how Self might value it over the WV game.
-
Speaking of the UK game. No Dickie V?!? Please!!! My ears are bleeding
Anyone know who is calling the game?
-
We might be watching Rick Barnes for a blueprint for that game. UT up 2 on Kentucky with 4:50 left in first half.
-
Self just said on post game the coaches were not happy to have a non con game in the middle of conference. Conference tops non con. He did say they would be excited to go.
-
@kjayhawks I agree with your point also. My opinion is that the Kentucky game is important. A Big 12 championship and a U.K. Win puts Kansas in the drivers seat for #1 overall seed if they continue taking care of business as they should. I’m sure Self was thinking he was playing with house money by stealing one he expected to lose at Iowa st and WVU ALREADY losing 3. No way for you, nor I to be proven right or wrong so we can just have our own opinions and respectfully disagree on this subject kind sir
-
Also, since text is hard to interpret sometime, the “kind sir” was intended in jest not in a dbag way. I enjoy your contributions to the site.
-
Huggs said the same thing about playing sec this weekend. Said they were talked into it
-
I would love to beat uk, but this team isnt tough enough to win on their floor. If they don’t lose anymore games after this week, I think a One seed is possible.
-
@HawkChamp Kentucky isn’t a very “tough” team either. I agree Kansas is SOft. But they can score. And that just be enough. Unlikely East Coast Sports Network will want to see Hawks win in Rupp though.
-
For the record, since the heads aren’t mentioning it, Huggins donates the 25k to cancer research in his mom’s name.
-
Nova down 2 with 8.8 left
-
@approxinfinity Thank you for sharing that-it’s exactly the thing we approve of. Something great from something bad_ Am just now streaming KC news coverage of Yordano’s funeral in the Dominican. Very upsetting & so sad to think he was alive yet robbed & left to die. We needed a tad of good news.
-
Down goes Nova!!
-
@kjayhawks Is a done deal…
-
Crazy year!
-
@globaljaybird has that been confirmed ? It’s just rumor as far as we know it.
-
@Blown Not officially released information but a criminal investigation is ongoing so not confirmed or denied at present.
-
Finally got that swift kick in the ass out of the way. I think we needed it, as a reality check, and motivation. I agree the refs were pretty bad, and that’s not coming from bias. We definitely had our chances, and blew some bunnies and FTs, but come on. Geesh. Anyway, moving forward, we’ll see what this team has learned, and how they respond Sat. against UK. Gonna be a good one, and I still believe we are capable of getting a W. Regroup, and tackle the next challenge with confidence and authority! .
-
@globaljaybird @Blown that deal is sad, I really thought he had a chance to become one of the best pitchers in the league.
-
#1,and #2 lose today. #4 is on the ropes too. Weird day. Just hit reset, learn something, get better, and move on.
-
I come in off the road expecting a close out come after playing them close early, but instead we got our heads handed to us. Ugh! Traveling and getting kicked. Never again!!!
-
It seems as though we look bad when opposing guards are tough as nails and pressure the ball. Villanova, now West Virginia, and same result. Our guards do not match the intensity/toughness of the other teams guards. Lucas and Bragg may not help at times, but they don’t ever cost us games. Our guards weren’t good against Nova and we lost. Same thing tonight.
-
@Blown aces WS ring and other valuables were missing
-
not looking good for Kentucky, I personally would rather face them after a win as opposed to after a loss
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I agree that JJ D left some to be desired. I wonder how much had to do with him being scared to foul
-
@Jayrawks1 for this team, it doesn’t matter. They are a soft team- very little toughness.
-
UK ended up losing bye 2 for those interested.
-
@Jayrawks1 it seems to me we can hardly do anything w/out being called. Of course wv has depth too.
-
Crazy, one of the top four teams in the land will be on a 2 game losing skid by Saturday.
-
@HawkChamp Say as you wish my friend, as we all like to do, but at the end of the day our team is the University of Kansas Jayhawks & we don’t play some BS pussy schedule. We play big boy hardwood basketball and many of us like it that way. RCJH !. Think this team’s as soft as Wigs OAD season-not me. JMO
-
@dylans they will only be a top 4 team for day afterwards tho
-
The game started with a phantom call on Mason and went down from there. Every time KU brought the ball up the court the guards were hand checked and bumped and nary a foul called. If the crew from the KU-Indiana game called this game WV has 4o by half time. We all have seen our share of badly called games, but this is one of the worse I have seen in a while.
By design, the pressure defense trades turnovers for fouls, when they do not get the turnover they usually get the foul. KU turned the ball over only 13 times, way below the WV average, and yet they ended up with more fouls…hard to explain…
-
@globaljaybird until they prove otherwise, they are soft
