Brown before Christmas
-
Hunter hasn’t picked up a flagrant foul today!
-
@DanR better get him out!
-
Man what a difference a ref crew makes: only 4 KU fouls today
-
@wissox I honestly don’t remember why Zeke wasn’t nabbed out of high school
-
Bill Self, the father of Tyler Self (and his daughter whose name I can’t recall)
-
@DanR I think I read once what I’d written, that he needed a bit of hardening and was encouraged to go get some experience.
-
Way cool!
-
those are the fun types of alley oops
-
Some JOY
-
Dang I predicted 89-60. Not even close!
-
Good win! Rock chalk and merry Christmas you all!
-
@wissox idk, 87-53 was pretty close. Good guys win again, happy holidaze all
-
@DanR back at ya! Have you done your Mizzou Christmas yet?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’m heading down to Monett the 24th. I’m sure they’ll bring up the Mizzou game, so I’m glad Missouri lost today.
My wife has been there a couple days while I replace flooring in our bedroom and hallway. A project I’m regretting taking on. Oh well.
-
Another week and change to West Virginia and conference play. Let’s get it
-
Zach has a groin injury and sounds like it will hold him out a while
-
I think Zeke is making the transition to higher level ball pretty well, been stroking the ball and rebounding pretty well especially these last couple of games,-v–I also thinking might be just me but think AJ played a little better, slowly seeing some signs of better. -Aj with 20 minutes today – - Hunter 24 , Juan 24, Rylan 16 – Coit 17 , Moore 14, working his way in
Actually I would like to see a little deeper bench this year like he has been working on. Like to see nine deep, think Juan better with fresher legs - -give hunter more rest if possible. - -I just think we might be able to have a nice rotation with these guys - -something we sure didn’t have last year
-
Mercy Flory has some hops
-
Zeke Mayo Highlights vs. Brown (25 Pts, 8 Rebs, 4 Asts)
-
Made it home to the motherland for this one. Better atmosphere than I expected for a Sunday afternoon game during the holiday break. Always nice to see KU play well in this game before Christmas when they’ve had a history of laying an egg in this game. Hopefully Rylan’s not out long term.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Coach said he is fine , just a knot above the eye, made reference to Rocky 2 lol, Said he should be fine though, can still see fine so not to bad
-
I took the kids to see Sonic 3 so I only got to see the last 5 minutes. Went about like I expected
-
Liking to see our bench scoring. I was looking at the top 15 ranked teams or so and finding a lot of teams with 4 or 5 double figure scorers. It was close enough for us today with Hunt, Zeke and KJ along with AJ/9, Flory/8, Griffen/7 and Shak/6. That’s real support. All the ranked teams today scored 80 plus and my blood pressure readings look much better. So on to Huggyless WVU who gives us fits in Morgantown but not so much in PHOG. Yesufu while playing 12 min a game hits 40% from deep. Get a win is better than starting the 20 game conference season in the hole.
-
Good work Daddy-o.
-
@kjayhawks did you really take the kids or did you just let them tag along?
-

“Bill Self said Rylan Griffen will be all right. Didn’t sound concerned at all.”
My own guess seeing it was perhaps a light concussion.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 There’s no place in all of basketball like AFH. Glad you saw a dub and enjoyed it
I’ll be going with my Dad in a few weeks (he can’t keep a secret when it comes to Christmas presents)
I didn’t watch much but glad to see Mayo did his thing
For once I wasn’t mad seeing Juan not do much as this seemed like a “defer and get others confidence game”
Did we run any 4 guard lineups or did Bill see that worked but crap on it like he did in the press conference and is sworn to never go back? Wonder how he can’t see that even if the defense is slightly worse the offensive efficiency is so much higher….wonder if he and the staff even look at that sort of data
-
@kuballin10 There was almost 3 minutes from 10:24 to 7:40 in the 2nd half where 4 guards played around a big. 1st was Shakeel, Juan, Coit, and Kease with Flory. During this time, Flory dunked, Juan had a steal, and Kease had a shooting foul missing the 1st one. No shots made by Brown. At 9:39, Zeke came in for Shakeel. During this time, Kease made the 2nd foul shot, Flory had a defensive rebound, Zeke made 2 pt shot and missed a 3 pointer. Flory fouled opponent that made the basket, but missed the and 1. The FT shooter rebounded the missed FT and then another Brown player shot and rebounded three more times with a 2 pointer basket on the 4th try with Self calling a timeout. At the 8:11 mark, Hunt came in for Flory. Zeke missed a 2 point shot and there was an offensive rebound. At 7:40, KJ came in for Kease.

So I have a question, and need people to be really honest. -I’ve heard mentioned a couple of times talking about the Big twelve this Season and still saying that the Big Twelve was the best conference in the Nation this year. – -Now honestly how many people actually believe that the Big Twelve is the best Basket ball conference this year ?- I just can’t agree - - not this year, true we have been but not this year, and I can’t actually believe people can believe that - -where is the proof?
I think for THIS YEAR anyways that yes the SEC is the better Conference, the league is brutal.- -Yet I wanna hear how many here actually believe that we are still the best Conference , cause I haven’t seen it-- Sooo speak up what do you say ?
-
@patoh3 thanks for the breakdown much appreciated
So not even 3 full minutes…he subs in kj to be a better rebounding team yet he isn’t good at that….odd eh
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 - I haven’t fact checked this from TOS but if true I think it settles our debate about O vs D importance last year
It’s why I’m hammering 4 guards
“No team outside the top 10 in offensive efficiency has won the title in a decade and no team not named UConn has won it from there since Carmelo Anthony. If the goal is a national championship, we need solutions on offense.”
-
@nuleafjhawk I liked the first two but this one was a little strange imo. I liked the Mario Bros movie
-
Hunter likes what? Setting screens like “you have been screened dude and maybe you should go under next time.” "Yes there was contact on that foul where you missed the layup and the refs are reviewing, again, so I am pleading my case to the crowd because the refs don’t like me and would the PA please cue up Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation.”
-
How many years away are we from another game?
I’ve done twiddled my thumbs down to stubbs.
I’m sick of watching trivial bowl games and Formula 1 is on break…
-
Ha yeah it feels brutal waiting for Tuesday
-
@drgnslayr Boy I hear ya, just bored to tears - -seems forever like we played last. -Way to long of stretch in between these games -why is that ?
Hopefully now conference starting this won’t happen again
-
@drgnslayr You have ESPN+? Our next game is on that ‘channel’.
