Weāve been saying this since last year. Never been so glad to miss on a transfer

Lol Kentucky fan got tossed for his āgo to Texasā sign.

@BShark What I thought was really funny was the picture of him in the half empty stands.

Updated Big-12 Standings.
The next 2 games are absolutely pivotal.
-
What do fans think about KSU. Are they legit or an aberration.
-
Weāll find out Tuesday.
They have two 1st team All Big-12 caliber players at PG and Wing. Iām stunned at the pieces around them playing at the level they have.
They have an inflated record from a weak non-conference slate, but they are going to be tough to beat. They match up well with us.
-
@AsadZ They are Dusty Dinkleman
-
@BeddieKU23 both ksu and isu have played harder big 12 schedules so far and been impressive.
Our schedule has been the easiest of the 4-0 teams.

there is no questioned they are legit

Weāll see, I think their depth is suspect as we go forward into conference play. They have 3 good starters and 2 average guys around them. Their bench is solid because they have 2 guys coming off the bench that were starters previously. Nothing spectacular but they get enough from those guys.
In this hot start in conference play they have been so reliant on scoring from Nowell & Johnson, both that at times have played at a level I donāt think is sustainable. Weāll see. They are good but Iām just not sold.

Agree - -not just yet. - going to be some interesting match ups in this game - -You think possibly they put Kevin on Johnson ? - -similar hghts arenāt they ? - Juan on Nowell.
They have 3 good starters we have 3-4 pretty god starters. - our depth is suspect, - our bench of Bobby - - Joe - - MJ to a lesser degree ( we just havenāt really gotten a good feel for him cause he is always hurt in one way or another ) & then our bigs - -kind of a hodge podge hee - -I guess you would have to say depends on the situation - so Clemence - Or Zuby - -so i think we offset there because there to I think we can gt just enough nothing special but I guess ok i guess -going to be interesting. - That place will be nuts - but we have vetrans that have been there before.
Another thing is I know sounds crazy but it just seems that this team doesnāt gt rattled- - e get behind - we donāt force/press just keep plugging along
-
Yeah with K-St playing 2 bigās primarily Kevin will likely get that assignment. Johnson doesnāt scare me as much as Nowell, his play of late has been out of this world. Last year we could not contain him at all on high ball screens and from what Iāve seen of him heās even tougher to keep in front due to his quickness and athletic ability. Lately itās been the 3 ball as well thatās been dropping for him at a high rate. Juan and Bobby really have their hands full.
The other important aspect of this game that KU will have to find a way to try and control is rebounding. Their 2 bigās seem to get a lot of those 50/50 balls off long misses etc that extend possessions.

I mean, do we ever really put anyone on a specific player? We just switch everything anyway so most teams can get whatever matchup they want. A player really has to go off for that style to change. Only special situational type stuff Iāve seen from this yearās team is doubling the post and maybe once or twice Juan wouldnāt switch when he was trying to clamp a specific guard.
That, to me, is what is pretty scary about how good this team could eventually be. They have so many more layers to explore.
-
K-St is looking really salty right now. I bet that game is a 1 point line either way. Will not be surprised if by tip off K-St is favored by a couple points. I watched some of their game against Oklahoma St and Nowell was pulling up from 30 feet and making threes. That is pretty tough to defend against. That game will come down to how well Harris can defend Nowell and how well Kevin can defend Johnson. If you can contain those two guys then KU will win. I think it is going to be one hell of a game.
-
Can Juan stay out of foul trouble guarding him?
-
Just want to mention that Tennessee so far is having the best rated D in the Kenpom era and it isnāt even close. Might not finish that way, but wowā¦
-
@Kcmatt7 that is interesting, impressive but still lots of games to be played of course.

Or how well they can defend Wilson - - Dick - - McCullar - -goes both ways
-
LOL Kentucky. Kick em out of the Blue Bloods club.
-
@Woodrow I think you are right, and if it really does come down to the DJ/Newell and Kev/Johnson matchups, I like our chances. Edge Jayhawks.

Thatās an all time defense. Looked like it when we played them too, lol.

Huggy lost his top assistant, he was fired. Larry Harrison had been with him since 2007. Ouch. Sounds like it was admin decision

I dislike that loss, but Iām a big fan of Barnesā¦ mostly because heās a top-notch quality human being.
-
Iām psyched to see a quality KSU team again! They pretty much sucked under Weber and Iām glad he is gone! Tang is capable and welcome to help bring the Big 12 to a higher place. Itās good for all of us to have a legit purple kitty team!
-
Blue blood bleed out:
I laughed at the notion that Texas wants Calipari. Says everything.
I always thought the answer for Cal was to somehow name Drake an assistant coach. lol
-
Frank Mason playing for the Chiefs?
-
@drgnslayr I donāt disagree with much that you sayā¦until now. I friggin HATE K-State. I hope they lose every game from now until eternity. In football, basketball and I even hope the Livestock Judging team starts mistaking pigs for cows.
I will donate half my yearly salary forever to bring back Bruce.
-
I just like the tough rivalry.
Itās not much of a rivalry smacking down KSU every single game.
Kind of like college football dominance in the SECā¦ it becomes a big ZERO after a while.
-
@drgnslayr There must be something wrong with me. I LOVE smacking down KSU every single game. The greater the beatdown, the more I love it. Thereās nothing worse to me than a 1 point game. Or in football - a 2 point game. After 3 overtimes.
-
Looks like we lead Kentucky in another category:
-
@drgnslayr @nuleafjhawk sorry Nuleaf I agree with drgn. We need a good competitive rival. Itās why I hated to see misery leave. I want to see two games on the calendar every year that I set my life around. I want them to beat us every once in a while so we have reason to make it a fierce and bitter rival. But if you want to donate a million dollars to bring Bruce back more power to ya. Heās a studio guy on the big ten network and I canāt stand hearing that voice!
-
@drgnslayr And there is a reason he is the highest paid Coach - - -WHY ? - - because he just WINS. - -WIN BABY WIN - thatās all he does. .My comment in this is not a jab at you drgnslayr - hope you donāt think Iām being an ass to you lol , just an overall comment.
You always some really good posts/thoughts so just making sure you know my comment was not a shot at you lol. - Like I said glad we have OUR COACH -he getās more and develops our players better - Coach is awesome - -Glad Kentucky has Cal- We got Coach - -ROCK CHALK

Is everyone else enjoying Kentuckyās struggles this year? Iām looking forward to their game at Tennessee today, then browsing the comments on Rupp Rafters. Thank you Bill Self.

I am and I am hoping Tennessee kills them today. For all-time wins purposes and also because we lost to Tennessee earlier in the season.
-
Another ref crew that calls way to many fouls at the Ten v. Kenty game. Jeez, why canāt we get rid of these crews that think the game is about them?
-
Just like every year, Tennessee struggles to score. When they hit shots like they did against us, they look great. When they donāt, they are a quick out in March.
-
I think Alabama is the better team and has a higher ceiling.
-
Alabama is more balanced. 16th in offense and 10th in defense per KenPom. Tennessee is 1st in defense and 31st in offense. And their defense is sort of dependent on how the officials are calling the game. They play very physical defense.
-
Kentucky is playing better defense and Tennesseeās offense looks very bad.
-
Yep, Tennesseeās O has never been very good under Barnes and will be the reason they donāt make it to the second weekend once again. Iād love a rematch with them but it aināt gonna happen.
-
Officiating in this UK Tenn game is wow
-
No Wheeler and UK is winningā¦ correlation?
-
Tennessee did it to themselves. They missed like 5 or 6 wide open lay-ups and shot 3-20 from 3.
They were 12-27 from 3 against us
