@nuleafjhawk Thanks for the concern. Not at all depressed. Just came to a realization that I don’t need sports when they mix politics and stupid politics at that. Focused on trying to retire by putting my investments on steroids. Working hard via Zoom (yes, that’s kinda depressing). And ride my mountain bike nearing 1500 miles on beautiful single track trails this year. @approxinfinity haven’t thought about BLM since the season began either. BTW, when did the season start? I just had had enough of sports being politicized with stupid communist groups and socially destructive movements. Big fan of Jason Whitlock and his perspective. At this point, it’s as much I won’t pay for a feed that support idiot tv stations. May pick some games to go to a bar/restaurant and watch. But will no longer support Universities. Don’t care if they burn down and go broke. Actually, hope they burn down and go broke. Guess that’s why I posted here and not on the bball section. I think we’re ranked and doing well. Guess one thing that made me aware college bball was going on was an article with Mike Consonants saying the season should be cancelled when Zero Hedge was laughing at him because his team was something like 2-2 since no home court advantage.

@jayhawkcsg He had a bad shooting night.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I would be quite pleased with that roster, regardless of which recruits would be added.

In end of game situations I’m concerned who KU can rely on to make them. So far the only consistent FT shooters we have are Dotson & Dedric. KJ has good form as well but he doesn’t play much. Marcus routinely misses the first and neither Grimes/Vick get to the line enough to rely on. Team definitely doesn’t have the shooters.

@Gorilla72 I may have hit an ad accidentally. Haven’t seen it again.

@Bwag I just don’t understand the double teams. They had no inside presence at all and we just left the shooters wide open. This game eerily reminded me of our game against Syracuse. Crazy first half shooting and they were out of the game.

dylans said: @Gunman Tom Crean is high on the Jayhawks. Has them as a final four team. Seth Greensberg won’t pick the field against KU (at least in the first 2 games) he learned his lesson. Just ignore the haters and soak in what you want. The fun is just getting started, don’t let someone else bother you. Enjoy the experience! Have a blast it’s tourney time. This is what KU has been preparing for all season long. We are 27-7. Done without BP and the last three games minus Doke. The staff and boys have done a great job. I like Self’s comment about pressure and fun. The players need to enjoy the tourney.

@Gunman A prayer! Well, that explains closing the eyes.

@BeddieKU23 saw it

The contract that #%€^*# Zenger signed with Time Warner gives it exclusive rights to several men’s basketball and football games. Women’s basketball and volleyball games have also been blacked out; in other words, every sport worth watching has been affected. Can’t think of any other AD that has done more to alienate fans than Zenger…and the worst part is the fans most affected are in Kansas and the KC Metro area which had the largest concentration of KU alumni in the country.

@mayjay Yes, I left it up for fun. I have a little rule. Catastrophe is preceded by many warnings and prophecies, but only coincidentally coincides with one.

I watched the game on my DVR because I was out. Why didn’t anyone here warn me not to bother watching?

Dang! Towns straight up clowned Embiid all night…clearly he needs a lot more work.

@Crimsonorblue22 We missed lots of open shots. I can’t attribute that to having made some early. What I was noting, and now some have pointed out, number of inside baskets was miniscule. Guess we give credit to WV for such a swarming defense all over the court. They challenged everything.

@pa_grape no. Néed access to advanced analytic sites to get those breakdowns

@wrwlumpy no lump!

LandEn Lucas. Wayne SeldEn. These are players who have been here for a while. Come on guys.

How many kids die each year playing sports? Used to be more people died playing baseball than any other sport. Seems like there are around 20+ people who die each year from football, but it’s really getting press right now. Concussions are a bigger problem in soccer, but that bucks the stigma and nobody cares about soccer. I hope a better concussion protocal and treatment options can be come up with soon. It’d be great if a guy could take a pill after a violent collision and no brain swelling would occurr. Medicine may hold a solution in the future, but for now if you want your kids to be 100% safe let them develop diabetes playing on the iPad.

Gave five bucks to a homeless guy on Mass street a couple weeks ago. As I was walking away, he yelled, “Thanks, and make sure you vote republican!” I got a pretty good laugh out of that, but sometimes it’s hard to tell when someone is being sincere or being ironic. Is there a lesson here? Probably not.
