WVU vs Kansas Chat - It's payback time!
-
funny! I’m cracking first one right now
-
I want to go all OLD SCHOOL and streak down on the town square…but I’d freeze the min I stepped outside…
-
@Blown Thank you for mentioning this. Jaybate, in his “Bad Ball” post, basically described Self’s season-long strategy for developing a tough team that can survive a March run. Last year, we were thoroughly exploited in March. This year, Self is making sure we are exposed for all to see before the big Tourney so that maybe we can heal and learn and become stronger for a big run.
Today, we had to prove that we could do things without Ellis, and the bigs really came through for us in the second half.
-
TOTALLY!
-
We’re all out of breath! Still getting my pulse down.
What an incredible game! Not sure whether to be happy or worried… The team really knows how to play with fire.
-
@VailHawk Well yeah. Had to save some from last nite encase we won tonite. Won’t be none left by morning.
-
@VailHawk Tea & Crumpets?
-
@wissoxfan83 Yeah but the OT I was in the shop on radio espn sucks
-
@globaljaybird WHAT! You just listened, Global?
-
@wissoxfan83 Hate to say it but we were down here. But all stayed around and didn’t give up.
-
Typically yes! But I think I’ll have a cerveza tonite
-
Me too, but now my bladder is killing me, lol. Dammit, I’m not this old.
-
@truehawk93 That’s tough on the woody.
-
Any word on Perry?
-
I refused to quit watching this team. They’ve given me 25 years of great memories and lots of winning. If I have to go down with them in flames for a season or a game, then dammit I’m going down!! They’ve earned my watchful eye to the very end.
-
Kudos to Jamari for stepping up.
-
Except for the fact it was Fizzoo, this one ranks right there for a come back. The Fizzoo game gets the top rung.
-
Perry’s better
-
I’m not sure what we learned tonight other than if we play hard we can pull a game out. I guess it was thesame last game as well. So outside of hard play, what is our identity going forward?
You’d hope we’d come back around with some 3 point shooting confidence but how do we get there?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I thought you didn’t live in Lawrence!? You know somebody
-
Hugs to all, ready to party! Chip in and get tickets for big 12? So happy
-
@Crimsonorblue22 What’s the word?
-
Wonder what Huggy’s thinkin right now?
-
@VailHawk Damn it…I missed out on another $25Gs
-
@Blown I agree I wanted to turn this one off, I just refused to believe we wouldn’t grind this one out and win it some how. I don’t know what to make of this West Virginia team ? They seem terrible but their depth and full court press is brutal.
-
@VailHawk “Damn, that 25K would have beena good party.”
-
@Bwag Our identity is that we don’t have an identity. Check out Jaybate’s “Bad Ball” post.
-
Huggy is a Hardass. I bet he respected Kansas’ toughness. He can also walk away knowing he really got the better of Kansas for most of the game, without his two ball handlers. I’m glad we have him in the big 12
-
Hey everyone…Stop what you’re doing…I have an urgent message for you…UK IS 30-0 At least ESPN is making it known anyway.
-
the 25k is nice but I bet he’s PISSED they lost
-
good to know!
-
@Blown I’m mixed…I think he tends to be cheap and dirty at times.
-
-
@betterfireE seemed like we were forming an identity and then HCBS decided he didn’t like the direction I guess. Ever since he made the “fools gold” comment we have just been lost as a team.
-
@betterfireE I’ve read it, but i don’t know if its’ succeessful when we’re in a 1 and done tournament scenarioa. the psychology is all different at that point.
-
well done!
-
Well. They pulled it off. Somehow. 11 straight
-
@truehawk93 He definitely coaches bruise ball, which I hate. But if it helps Kansas prepare, then great.
-
I’d like to see NCAA go to 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 refs per game. Whatever it takes so they can actually call a consistent game, the way it is supposed to be played, though.
-
G_ _ D _ _ _ _. My heart can’t take another one like that.
##RCJGKU##
11 is heaven.
-
I love the ESPN headlines tonight:
UK rallies…
KU survives…
-
I have SERIOUS reservations about bad ball…but it’s all we got at this point…
-
@Blown Just need competent refs instead of rec center refs.
-
did they call a bad game? I was unavoidably detained until the under 8:00 TO in the 2nd half
-
@brooksmd and understand their role; they are not part of the show even though that may be hard for them to believe or accept.
-
that’s my biggest pet peave about refs is when they think everyone came to watch them
-
@VailHawk my comment is a generalization toward the poor officiating I’ve seen over the last 5-6 years. But yes, I thought it was poor and inconsistent on both sides of the ball. The play where the point guard for WvU reached out and slapped Mason’s hand down and no call was made took it to an entire new level for me.
-
@Bwag Yeah, but it would be nice to play hard the whole game.
-
Calls were very inconsistent, but at least in the OT they kept calling fouls.
And there’s something to be said for a team that hits their FTs when everything else is going wrong.
BTW, when Oubre went out, I was pretty sure the game was over. Somehow, we survived with Perry and Cliff out of the game. Not sure I would have believed it was possible.
-
Im really glad we won the title outright. And didnt have a 4 way tie lol. They wouldve had to change the commercial. “4 true champions?” I envision this said in Ron Burgundy voice
