-
I’ve never fully understood the term “animal husbandry” and that doesn’t bother me.
-
And so it begins, Big 12 action gets started tonight.- --( KSU / Cinn ) @ 6:00-- – - Houston & Okla St - -& Iowa State & Colorado I think @ 8:00 guess I know what I’m gonna be doing lol
-
@drgnslayr apparently to husband meant to manage carefully, particularly an estate, and expanded to include animals and crops. Wife meant woman.
I now pronounce you manager of the estate and woman.
How romantic.
-
two ranked teams in the big twelve on the road - - two ranked teams in trouble right now on the road K/State up 5 over Cincinnati with nine minutes to go. – -Houston in a dog fight with Oklahoma St
Oklahoma St different offense this year, run - - -run - -and run some more. Announcers saying their whole tempo is to get a shot up within the first ten seconds of a possession -run , run , run , pretty quick.
-
Houston closes the 1st half on a 17-1 run - -Oklahoma State closes on a five minute scoring drought geez
-
Tad’s team looking shaky! Isu not great. Co missing a starter, sick.
-
Co, up. Fun game, forgot Danny was there, duh!
-
Offensive boards killed CO. Good shooters.
-
Bizarre ending in State College. Northwestern ties game on a layup that was blocked and then tipped in by another NU player. Refs review it and say sorry, our bad it wasn’t a goal tend but since we called it, it’s a deadball and the tip in doesn’t count. Refs totally screw up denying the tie opportunity.
-
@wissox I’m gathering they called goal tending. At which point the ball is dead. Bummer about the bad whistle. I hate that on run outs too.
-
@dylans you are correct. But the whistle did t really sound until the putback was being shot
-
Sitting high up in the kohl center for badgers suckeyes
-
Mercy think I just saw the dunk of the Season from any team , any player. - -Cortes from Wichita St flies down court throws the ball up , it goes behind Ballard- - - shows him reach back and grabs it full extension behind him grabs it and flush’s He got up -Mercy- -the announcers said if that’s not the # 1 dunk on sports center-- have to agree , that was sweet.
-
Badgers 20-30 on 3s Fran’s defense sucks
-
@SlimShaddy54 I’ll be honest with you, I think WSU would beat the brakes off of us. They just play so much harder than we do most of the time. I only watched a few of their games but guys are actually hustling after the ball and down the floor. We haven’t done that since the Dook game.
-
I havent watched Alabama this year but Grant Nelson and Lebaron Philon look pretty good statistically.
-
Watching UK-UF. A lot of athleticism. Multiple players on each team who can create and attack the rim. And 3pts shooters everywhere…
-
WV up at the half over Oklahoma St- - -46-19
-
@DCHawker We’d get pasted by both of them currently
-
Refreshing to be able to watch a couple of teams play fluid /free.- -add Iowa St & Baylor both smoking us also at this point. ??Dreading having to play ISU they will smoke us
-

I’m not sure whom is scouting athleticism for us but they need to be relieved of their duties about 3 years ago. Everyone in our conference is more athletic than us
-
I’m watching ISU-Baylor and ISU will beat us by a minimum of 25 in Hilton they are my pick to win this conference at the moment
-
Oh wow, this is so bad. Never been too impressed with Rick Pitino who now instructs his team not to shake hands after the game. Maybe it was a good idea after this happened:
-
@wissox Rick Pitino, O.G Turd.
-
@kjayhawks We are going to have a lot of blowouts on the road…not in our favor
-

Studs but Grant couldn’t come here because Self promised KJ the 4 spot (right after he played the 5 for us)…and lol NO WAY IN HECK Philon was getting the keys over Juan even though NBA >>>>d2
Bill’s favorites >>>>recruiting better players to win
-
Kinda nervous guys, we have a huge stretch comin gup- - 3 game stretch- -Arizona St- - -Cincinnati - -& Iowa State-- got to get two out of the three at least - -no easy one’s that’s for sure
-
Lots of good games to watch tonight. — Georgia up 13 on Kentucky at the Half. - -Arizona handling WV at Wv by 11 I think at half
-
Florida just curb stomping 3 1 Tennessee at the half 34-15 – - -Fifth teen holy smokes
-
Golden would be a nice replacement for Self when the time comes if he wasn’t a total creep (allegedly).
-
@SlimShaddy54 Wow!
-
Jumpin Gees KSU down 43- -24 at the half to Okie St. - -Arizona taking it to WV by 19 with like 5 minutes to go- Baylor up by 16 heading into half with Cincinnati
-
Holy crap. Tennessee down to Florida 64-33 with 4:38 to go in the game - - what the hell. - -Kentucky down 12 to Georgia with 7 minutes to go- -look out
-
@kuballin10 I had no idea Self promised KJ the 4 spot over Grant Nelson. Out of curiosity, do you have a source?
-
Tennessee might not score 40.
-
Kentucky just elbows a rebounder to the floor.
-
No court storming in Florida. Nice job Florida fans.
-
Flordia beats Tennessee by 30- - - 73-43- - -Kentucky down by 13 with 4:21
Iowa St gonna move up to # 2 probably now Edit : Kentucky goes down to Georgia 82-69
Arizona takes out WV by 19
-
@Jhawk69 Yes, Bill loves kj and thinks he impacts games as much as ochai.
After the 2023 season, with kj tired of playing the 5 and playing dudes bigger than him he was pumped to have Hunter commit.
We had chances at Nelson and Ingram to bring in but neither were promised to play over kj. Bill had already decided that’s his guy and who he wanted. Ingram’s Uncle is the source and Nelson source is a good friend who played baseball at Bama. He’s tight with two bama assistants (basketball team) and attends a closed practice or two early on every year plus a few home games.
Also easy to follow from 247, discord, guys like farmer or bshark here but they are fed the staff KU perspective so you gotta keep that in mind. 2 sides to every story.
Same with Philon who had we given him the pg spot would have thought more heavily about it but playing backup pg minutes and not even a real shot at the 2 spot just helped start the discussions of getting outta southern missourah and back home. Home cooking is the best so I can’t blame him but more PT 100% would have made him really think about it. He loved KU…. A legit nba pg prospect but we can’t ever not start Juan at pg as long as he is here (Bill’s infallible)!
Nelson would have been a freak but he ain’t a 5 and we had Hunter so he’d been a 4 and wasn’t guaranteed a starting spot because we had someone there Bill already liked.
Turning away those two in favor of kj was typical Bill roster construction valuing guys that aren’t the best players.
Graham Ike, Nelson, Walter Clayton, Harrison Ingram……lots of guys who had interest in us but PT writing was on the wall on Self’s loyalty. This is known in aau circles as well - nothing earth shattering here
-
@kuballin10 But is there a concrete, tangible source that I could access to confirm this?
-
@kuballin10 Philon didn’t decommit because of Harris, he decommitted because of Elmarko. If being a starting PG was his top priority, then he wouldn’t have chosen Alabama to play at. Just like for whatever reason you think Harris is why LJ Cryer never came to KU despite Cryer also never being a PG and being the perfect compliment to play next to Harris.
-
@Jhawk69 Sure bud
billself@ku.edu for starters
Dm on Twitter or Instagram Harrison and Nelson yourself
You want the info you gotta put in the work
lil guy here’s like - “hey out who you know - give me their cell and let me ring them up - if you can’t show me than I don’t believe it”
Str8 dopin with this lame @$$
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 LJ wanted to play point - does his own words work or you still going to just act like I make stuff up and be all high, mighty and wrong?
He wanted minutes at the pg and Juan playing 38 a game wouldn’t work. Oh but Self could let him slide to the 1 some…yeah right that’s diggy and moore not Mayo who’s game Cryer’s is similar too.
Kansas is his dream school but we pass cause I’m sure in Bill’s mind he couldn’t handle it well enough to be a pg and he didn’t defend real well (granted the guys we had defended so well - sarcasm).
Ultimately went to Houston to play with his friend and was a lot more successful than he’d been here
https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2023/04/05/baylor-guard-lj-cryer-looking-for-a-fresh-start/
Also - Philon wanted minutes and my post was if we’d offered him starter minutes at pg or at the 2 (somehow elmarko’s stellar play had him locked in there - again staff sucks at evaluating talent even with a full year of tape) we’d had a way better chance against momma’s home cookin
-
@Jhawk69 Here let’s make this real easy to understand with zero sources required
The current best nba prospect on our roster doesn’t start and plays 13 minutes a game. You’d say well he fouls or oh he’s a freshman but has he fouled out of any meaningful games yet?
That guy with just the eye test but let alone the tape AND analytics (the tri fecta) say he should be our starting 4 but yet HE’S not. Why???(please answer)
Now take 2 guys that are upper classmen and are trying to make the league. They aren’t freshmen and wherever they transfer too they need big minutes and can’t afford to sit behind a guy they are both better than per the nba scouts and only play 13-20 mpg. They “can compete for their spot at the 4” but it isn’t guaranteed to the new guys. They can see the roster, see the comments about said current starter and read the room. No way you’d risk your final year or two playing behind a guy that the current coach gushes over and loves (and promises 4 man spot too and no more 5 man) versus another flagship school that will give you 30-35 mpg starting
I’d like to see I can’t rebound Kj at the 5 like we ran back in 2023. Run Shak, Moore, Rylan, Aj or Juan and Kj at the 5. Bill raves about him being draymond green like yet has NEVER put him back at the 5 season that season. Hence the promise he’d made and to let kj play the 4. His loyalty is something else I mean being Bill’s favorite guy has gotta he some sorta feelin!
-
@kuballin10 “I do not want to play point guard full time" Are those the words you’re referring to because they don’t match with what you keep claiming about Cryer.
Bill Self didn’t chose Harris over Cryer, he chose Elmarko Jackson over Cryer.
-
If that’s the case that was another poor roster decision based on Elmarko’s performance freshman year. I’m surprised freshman vs upper classman he went frosh
Self didn’t have the choice though because LJ knew he wouldn’t even get “some” minutes at pg here - Bill wasn’t going to do it and the current pg played 36-38 minutes a game and 1-3 minutes isn’t “some pg”.
If you watched Houston be played pg every time Shead (his buddy) was out. Shead played 31-32 mpg (average) while Juan was 34-35 mpg average (only because blowouts he sat). When Juan didn’t play pg it was only 1-2 minutes because in Self’s mind he didn’t have anyone that could even really spot him minutes. Remember the “I’d like to get Juan some rest but I can’t”. Well LJ or not that wouldn’t have convinced him to let him play some minutes at pg
Quote you conveniently didn’t mention
“I am looking to see what school will let me play some time at point guard. I realize I am lethal off the ball and I do not want to take that out of my game because I know it is one of my strengths that can help a team win. I know to get to that next level, I will have to be able to showcase what I can do on the ball.”
-
WV losing by 19 at home to AZ sure makes me wonder how KU was behind the entire WV game and lost by 1 pt.
-
Kstate the worst team in the league?
