I watched the 1st half of that. I take it they got beat

Did N Carolina end up getting beat or did they win ?

@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games:
Seton Hall looked like an underrated team coming into the season. Veteran roster there with lots of size so not surprised they knocked off a young Michigan team. The Oregon drubbing was not expected especially at home. That’s a really bad loss.
Who did Oregon get beat by ?

Heels managed to pull it out. Michigan not so lucky as Seton Hall comes back to win.
And Oregon gets absolutely clobbered as BYU goes into Portland and beats the Ducks by 32.
Jumpin - - gee - - hossie - -toads - -32 points at home - - WOW
-
@BeddieKU23 some sort of mysterious “lower body injury”. Your guess is as good as mine as to what that means.

UNC won by 11

Paolo will get suspended for minutes, I’m telling you. Minutes!
Absolutely correct, except wrong root. Take off the s, and pronounce with a long i and a long u, as in “a minute punishment.”
-
@BeddieKU23 Technically a neutral court loss since they played in Portland and not Eugene. Still, that’s the equivalent of a bad KU loss at Sprint (oops, T-Mobile) Center.
-
Maryland taken down by 2005 darling George Mason. Turg aint gonna be happy. Jury is still out on one my Jayhawk Favs if can really take MD to the promised land.
-
This NCSU/OSU game is brutal. Neither team is at 40% from the floor. 31-27 with 18:19 to go
-
Michigan St beats Butler by 21 on the road. Michigan St seems decent.
-
Joey Hauser sucks though. Malik Hall should be starting.
-
Ugly game of the year candidate. VCU 48 Vandy 37.
-
I was just going to post the same thing. That score hurt my eyes
-
Few observations watching Baylor last night.
They may not fall off at all this season. They have 3 guards (Akinjo, Flagler, Cryer) that so far are mimicking what Butler/Mitchell/Flagler did last year.
LJ Cryer has really improved. Back to back 20 point games.
Jeremy Sochan a 6’9 freshman forward is a stud. Kendall Brown is as advertised. Hate seeing him in a Baylor Jersey.
Their defense is really good again.
They haven’t played anyone yet. Central Arkansas looked like a D3 school.
-
Heard on Twitter that Juan may not start once Wilson is back. Self also said that Wilson might not start.
I personally hope Wilson doesn’t start. It’s a character comparison vrs rat face.

What is Meyer looking l.ike ?- -is he starting now ? Looks like it might be a real dog fight between KU , Baylor , & Texas
-
@BeddieKU23 I’ve been on this train for a while. I don’t think they’ll be as good as last season because I don’t think any of their guards is close to being as good as Davion Mitchell, but their team is still really good. Akinjo, Flagler, Brown, Mayer, Thamba starting with Cryer, Dainja, Sochan, and JTT off the bench.

Yeah he’s starting. One of their leaders and scoring options. Terrible hair still with that mullet going on.
Starting 5 so far has been Flagler/Akinjo/Meyer in the backcourt. Using Brown at the 4 & Thamba inside. Cryer, Sochan & ChimyChanga are the main 3 subs. They use another guard Bonner (Juco kid) due to the Langston Love injury.

It’s early of course and they have played 3 sisters of the poor but the things that stuck out to me
-
no drop off in guard play so far after losing 3 studs
-
defense is just as aggressive & effective as it was last season
-
easy to see winning culture and chemistry exists even with new guys in the lineup
I agree they are not as good as last year but the drop off so far is minimal. The season ending injury to Langston Love limits their ceiling a bit I think. He was a big time scorer in HS. However Brown & Sochan are NBA guys & the emergence of LJ Cryer has raised their potential a good bit. They look like a E8/F4 contender. I don’t think they can win it all.
-
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah Baylor has next level scheduling bad teams strat. It might not look like it to some people but they schedule much worse competition from those lower leagues than schools like KU do. They also tend to have some games that count against actual D2 comp every year.

I believe the offense is probably about as good as last season, but I’m skeptical about the defense. Mitchell and Vital were two of the best defenders I’ve ever seen in college basketball. I don’t think they’re going to be as good defensively, and that’s probably where the drop-off will be.
-
-
Agree Vital & Mitchell were elite level defenders. They had 21 steals last night but they played what looked like one of the worst teams in D-1. So far I see little drop-off from their defense but I do think that changes when they play real teams.
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah, the game is easier when you physically outmatch the opponent at every position.
-
Watched the end of the Oklahoma game vs. Indiana State. Didn’t realize OU has the Groves Bros. from Eastern Washington…thought we were rid of them.
Not to mention Porter Moser (ex-Loyola-Chicago) as coach. Could be scary in Big XII play.
Tanner (the one with the beard) had 24 points on 10 of 15 from the field, and 8 boards. 11 points off the bench from brother Jacob.
-
Home town refs for the Dook game. Also no mention of a DUI
-
@rockchalkwyo To be fair, we have some home town refs too!
-
@wissox I know I know. I’m immature ok
-
@rockchalkwyo Join the club!!

The Shockers came up a little short last night but gave Arizona all they wanted. Looks like WSU is going to be one of the teams on or close to the “bubble “ come tourney time. Kinda funny I live in Wichita but don’t hear the Shocker fans saying how they want a piece of KU like they did several years back!

Worked in some area’s that wasn’t the best buttttttt , work part time as a 2nd job right there like at I think like 17th and Hillside just a short ways from the WSU Campus - - THAT was NOT a good area at all lol. work at a Kwik Shop - -Then worked for what used to a long log time ago Allen Electric I think it was like 1134 N Washington ,Electrical wholesale supply warehouse yippee lol. - About 2 blocks north of where the Wichita Police officer got shot in the head, I remember when I 1st started there Allen still had shotgun portholes where they had in the sides of the buildings to protect the business during the riots. - Allen sold out then if became AMFAC Electric I actually enjoyed working thre. Worked for Sutherlands Lumber on 21st ? - by the stockyards - - that was fun - - oh those were the days lol - I actually like the City of Wichita it’self lol
-
@jayballer67 too funny…my wife lived just north of Benton when she was a teenager. Went to Circle High for a couple years. I grew up on a farm just outside of Garden Plain, a small town just west of Wichita. Moved to the city when I started working for Cessna. I like where I’m at but man I kinda miss the quiet laid back life on the farm

ya just goes to show small world. - Ya had some nieces that lived in Towanda that went to Circle , Brother in law went to Circle. - I’m like you Wichita was fine but really like living in small town rural USA - Benton was just fine for me
-
Watching Baylor and Stanford right now. Baylor looks really good. Their roster construction is nice; all the pieces fit really well together.
-
Nova is murdering Tennessee, which isn’t surprising. Villanova is really good too this year.
-
Sochan looks like the real deal. That’s probably Jalen Wilson’s match-up. That’ll be fun
-

Beating Stanford that bad without Flagler… Drew has that program rolling.
-
@Kcmatt7 Ya, I feel like they are better than #9. If their name was Duke or Kentucky they’d probably be Top 5. They have Nova and Oregon coming up though so I guess we’ll find out.
-
Baylor playing like…Baylor.
Meanwhile, Jerod Haase looks to be on the hot seat at Stanford. That loss to Santa Clara didn’t help. Hate to see it happen to a Jayhawk who I really enjoyed as a player, but this may be his last season in Palo Alto. It’s his sixth year with the Cardinal, and they’ve only finished in the top half of the Pac-12 once under him.
-
@nwhawkfan I liked Jerod as a player too, but he’s not doing well at Stanford. Hard school to recruit kids to, but that can’t be the entire reason. It’s not like the Pac12 has been stacked the entire time he’s been there.
-
I was at a NonKU game yesterday in football and it was a blast. UW beat Nebraska which oddly is 1-7 in the B1G but has outscored its opponents in league games 218-211. The one game they won the won by 49 and they’ve had close games against everyone else. Badgers 17 year old RB ran for 225 yards.

Nova is really damn good not sure about Oregon.
-
Villanova and Purdue are playing and it’s not on TV?
-
@wissox It’s on the ESPN app, but the quality kind of sucks. It said it was on ABC but it wasn’t for me.
-
@BShark Ya I saw they got blown out by BYU. Nova’s obviously better than Oregon, but Oregon is better than the teams that Baylor has played so far.
-
Yeah, the ESPN box score says ABC. I’m kind of pissed. Top 10 battle relegated to an app you have to pay for. ABC here is showing infomericals.
-
Nova can’t close
