@DanR I was thinking about getting one. Any suggestions?
Muck Fizzou is always good. But get a few fb player friends if you wander near Meth U.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t like the long lay off for the chiefs starters with the bye. Hot shots in the first playoff game won’t have played since Christmas
-
@mayjay That’s a good suggestion because my mom would be naive to what it means, I’d tell her it’s the name of the next great White Sox player or something because if she knew what it really meant she’d amputate the arm it was painted on…without anesthesia.
-
Kinda funny , Gurly talking with Coach in post game and Gurly asked Coach what he thought the difference was today ? - -He said he think they were a pissed off team ( KU ) - -I said the same thing , I think the guys were just pissed off

Right go watch the WV and say with a straight face say we played hard the first 25 plus minutes. Even self had an extended practice where he called the team out for such but okay
-
That’s not what you said!
-
This was a fun game to watch
How about Flo

All you "The game has passed Bill Self by"guys…HAHAHAHAHAHAhah

@Crimsonorblue22 this what you replied to and yes it is what I said
-
Hunter Dickinson Highlights vs. UCF (27 Pts, 9 Rebs, 3 Blks)
-
Flory Bidunga Highlights vs. UCF (12 Pts, 5 Rebs, 6 Blks)
-
Rylan Griffen Highlights vs. UCF (14 Pts, 4 Rebs)
-
Well then. Surprise, Surprise!
How’s about that. Anybody see that coming? Dunno where that came from, but more of it works for me!
Straight up Kentucky like bashing from way back when. Love it.
I was honestly surprised to see Shaq start. If that’s the energy or mojo we need, great. Can’t argue with the game result.
Storr has to be steaming with mop up duty. This will be interesting to watch for the rest of the season.
Well done, Jayhawks!
-
KU played today?
-
I’ll say it so @kuballin10 doesnt have to: Self used his personnel well today. People were used in the roles they were intended to be used and they responded.
-
@kjayhawks every game I lost was not because I didn’t want to play. Maybe you didn’t show up but I did. Poor excuse.

I mean, maybe about the roles?
I’ll admit i was worried about the offense with Shaq starting today. I thought that left us down to Zeke as the only starter who could score other than Hunter in the post.
I’m gonna guess that Self uses that 5th starter spot as he needs to each game. Could see the lineup change depending on matchups? We’ll find out i suppose.
A nice way to start the new year. Expectations are now up!

Probably not a good idea to accidentally drop the confetti on the team you hope to upset in the pre-game shoot around. Might be a minor motivator.
-
So you all think this might be a starting five that can really get these guys to click and a regular basis ? - -Moore, /juan-- -KJ- - - Hunter – -& Mayo ?
-
@SlimShaddy54 yes. Also the hunter 25 minutes kj 23 minutes flory 20 minutes usage was great
-
@Crimsonorblue22 right I’m just saying that they clearly didn’t show up against WV or Mizzou for matter. Rewatch those games and today’s. Tell me which one we are actually going after loose balls and rebounds.
-
@SlimShaddy54 it worked well today so I wouldn’t change it, Rylan seem to be better off the bench in this one. I’m thinking Storr will start to step it up and take most of Diggys minutes.
-
Wonder if Moore getting the start was matchup based, UCF runs a 3-guard lineup so matching that could have been what they thought was the best move. Perhaps also signaling a scheme change on offense given the struggles there? What doesn’t make much sense is how he played 2 minutes in the previous game then gets his first start and most minutes of the season in this one. I would say he did fine, the 6 assists were a plus including the dime he dropped into Flory for a dunk, he also made a couple 3’s late in the game to show off his shooting.
I want to see “more” from Moore since he is such an unknown still. I’m still picturing this aggressive driving guard that will give us an element we don’t have who can put pressure on defenses and get to the line/finish/get Hunt/Flory/KJ easy baskets. I’m hoping that’s what he can provide on that side of the ball while being a pesky defender on the perimeter to go with Harris.
-
UCF seems like a roller coaster team. Have wins over Kenpom #12 and #14 teams (Texas A&M & Texas Tech) including the Tech game on the road in their previous game and then they come home and get walloped by 51. At least from the jump KU came out throwing punches and they didn’t have the same juice. UCF is #81 Kenpom so the metrics don’t think too highly of them so not sure what to take from this win in the bigger picture. It was a great response from the West Virginia game. Self got their attention and I hope it was the turning point to seeing this level of play more often.
-
Next opponent Arizona St has two five-star freshman KU recruited to various degrees in Joson Sanon & Jayden Quaintance. Kenpom #57 team with #34 ranked defense so we’ll see how we do against a top 40 defense. Their leading scorer is a 6’9 big who can shoot the 3 (38%) and loves to get to the FT line. Hopefully we bring some of the same juice as yesterday at home this time and make another statement.
-
@BeddieKU23 They were around 60 before this loss iirc. This was obviously an insane game. KU jumped 5 spots which basically never happens this late in the season.
-
@BShark I saw that in the Ken Pom rankings too. Never seen it before with a team ranked so highly at this point of a season—we jumped from 13 to 8.
-
An historic one-off type game, that’s crazy. I know this UCF team is better than they showed yesterday as I’ve watched them play a few times and have seen a much higher level of play from them. They just seemed shellshocked by the level of activity from KU which was a 360 from our previous game.
-
KU just came our really aggressive from the start ,We just looked like we played angry ball, just dominant. KJ NINE REBOUNDS ? I’ll take that all day long , the question being where has this been all this time ?- -hopefully it continues, really like Shaq in the line up good play , really like the make up of the team yesterday,
Coach said that chances are we will see more of Hunter and Flory together, Flory being mobile and able to guard out on the floor.- - Love Flory being an athlete, King Mcclure told KU fans not to get used to seeing Flory long. - -I do think Flory will be NBA - -but I also think he will be back for his 2nd year , after that all bets are off lol.
-
@SlimShaddy54 Amazing what rebounding effort does for a team!
-
@SlimShaddy54 that block and transition dunk was something special.

GOOD NEWS / BAD NEWS
Good -
Hunt went hunting. Great to see him play aggressively and it paid huge dividends.
KJ showed effort. I almost passed out when seeing him seal off the boards. Who does he think he is? Charles Barkley? 9 rebounds! As I mentioned before… we won’t lose many games where he grabs around 10 boards.
Juan was Juan. He went with the flow and was the glue guy. Great!
Moore defended. It helped lift our guys up and they all showed more energy! Offense starts with defense! A+
Flory owns everyone. I thought he had 10 blocks because he was so dominant! This guy needs more minutes!
AJ fit a bit better. Didn’t look so lost out there and found ways to contribute. Positive sign!
Rylan brought offense! This is what he can do! BAM!
Zeke was human after all. Not big scoring numbers but huge assists and aiding team basketball.
Diggy helped more than the stat sheet. Cold from outside but he gave us great energy off the bench.
This was an example of how we can play when we come prepared for a game! Energy was great and played team basketball!
THE BAD -
UCF played horribly. We deserve some of the cred for making that happen but not all. Their body language was horrible and they didn’t put up any kind of fight. My takeaway is they made us look better than we are. We will run into tougher dog fights that will better test where we are…
FINAL ASSESSMENT -
It starts with defense! Moore and Flory are big sparks! KJ can be, too, when he hustles! Having those guys focus on D makes us a tough bunch to beat and it translates to everyone playing tougher D. Offense comes naturally when playing good D.
