Bear Down Wildcats

Cleared = NCAA wants its cash cow to have a decent seed.

They're good.

Great ball movement and 35 can rival ayton in the paint.

Defense is a bit suspect but they'll be a contender.

Nice to watch them in person, allegences aside.

Gimme that, gimme that MO BAMBA!

Two beautiful, badass blocks in a row.

Kansas playing zone.

He had about three goaltends which were counted as blocks and two put backs which were still on the cylinder which should have been called off. But he did have a good game.

How do you let yourself get out-rebounded 44-29 at home?

18 offensive rebounds for TTech? Guess they just wanted it more.

So what you're saying is this 12 point loss at home was actually a technical win?

Noted in my record book.

Yet another outstanding performance at home there KU! Rock Chalk CHOKE.

Go ahead and laugh. We're short in the post rotation. Shouldn't you be more worried about all the bad press Arizona is getting? Head football coach was fired under allegations of sexual harassment? Yikes.

I'm not laughing. And don't worry, I will send in the paperwork.

First, the harassment claims were found to be unsubstantiated. Second, EVERYONE is at risk of this these days...smh. Third, you act like getting rid of Rich Rod was a bad thing....I didn’t know until you posted it so thank you for not only crapping the bed yet again and making AFH a non-factor BUT for breaking the good news about Rich Rod!

Sincerely, BW. LMAO.....your tears are truly delicious enfuego.

No one even remembers you have a football team.

But they sure as shit will remember this Kansas Basketball season when all of a sudden the Jayhawks’ performance in front of their faithful fans was ..... let’s just say “suboptimal”.

I'm going to enjoy every single loss the UA experiences this year with extra fervor. It will be sweet to see Arizona finish 3rd in a lousy conference.

The last act of the defiant. Oooh.

Of course, it's only January 2nd. Think of all the games Kansas still has to play. West Virginia should be fun. And TCU next week. Oklahoma. Texas A&M. Damn, the more you look at KU's schedule it's not inconceivable that Rock Chalk is gonna be on the bubble come March. How does that feel?

I guess you need something else to look forward to when your favorite basketball team is constantly shitting it's pants in broad daylight.

I give SCCats full credit for turning Solo full (assless chaps) Snoke.

Happy New Year enfuego!

A lousy conference that Kansas is 1-2 against, those two losses coming at home and in Kansas City.

Technical wins, all of them!

And we've got the paperwork submitted to prove it.

Have it give props where props are due...good win vs. ISU at AFH enfuego. Ouch, that hurt to say

Dang, we're at the point where a close win at home vs a 9-6 team earns props for KU.

ISU has had their number in recent years and I thought they were going to choke that game away...especially after losing to UW in KC and ASU at AFH. Maybe I was being too generous....

Sorry, didn't mean it disrespectfully to you at all. I actually get where you're coming from and it's a bad comment on hos this season is going for KU.

Absolutely no disrespect taken Spiff! I totally get where you’re coming from....I have very mixed feelings re: KU....Both of my parents, RIP, met there and they WERE my #2 Team even with all the contention / rivalry for recruits until Zeus committed to us over them. My parents, and other family were / are huge KU fans / boosters / alums.

After I read comments from their fans on “the Shiver” hoping he would blow out his knees then getting kicked off there for no good reason (I politely told them that saying this wouldn’t be received positively by future recruits....then kicked off with a rude comment towards me...when I’m always extra polite on opposition boards), I turned a page on them and went hostile.

Anyways, I’ve given enfuego a ton of crap lately, mostly due to his trolling (whereas I give Mr. Bug, a huge UCLA fan, big props for being respectful here) so I thought I’d throw him a bone. Obviously it’s a down year for them with a weak Front Court and I thought the win vs. ISU was a good one even with their suspect record.

Bear Down Spiff and please change the Hurley thread title back...it was so perfect the first time .

PS. You have to respect their Scout fan board....man it’s a giant and wish we had the traffic they do.

Technical loss

Yup. I'll get the paperwork ready.

KSU might have ran the worst end of game possession I have seen in a long time only down by 1.

Yeah, lol. Even the announcers were going “wtf...?”

Kansas down 13 at the half to West Virginia.

Irish27 wrote:Kansas down 13 at the half to West Virginia.

Yep, watching the game as well...WVU started out red hot....Man, that shot blocker Kanate is a BEAST!

WVU offense is pathetic....relying on jump shots most of the game....smh

Good win for KU

Huge props to Kansas for pulling this win out at WVU...first win there in 5 years. WVU Offense is complete crap IMO....

Nice comeback for Kansas.

Those last three possessions by WVU were god fucking awful. How many 30+ foot shots can you take?

Do I have to post the Big Lebowski gif again?

Rules, man, we have rules around here.

Chicat wrote:Those last three possessions by WVU were god fucking awful. How many 30+ foot shots can you take?

They didn’t pass the ball well and settled for those 3 point shots (5-27!!!) all game long....unbelievable. KU defense isn’t that good to have to settle for those shots all game long.

Shit, they shoot about as well as Arizona from 3 point land. Maybe better.

Not according to the stats BBQ with WVU @ (154/460 = 33.4%) over 17 games vs UA (126/334=37.7%) over 18 games. We are not only significantly better but much fewer attempts. They seem to chuck it often from 3 and, from this game as it’s the only one I’ve seen, aren’t very good at dribble penetration.

Edit: There were possessions where they didn’t seem to even try to penetrate....I can’t think it was because KU is all of a sudden a defensive monster with their limited Front Court.

I've never been sold on WVA. I have memories of them having Gonzaga in trouble and then just producing horrific offensive possessions involving one dude dribbling for 20 seconds and then jacking a 3.

WVU at home is a tough out. Their "defense" consists of fouling the entire game and they get the benefit of some home cooking which allows them get away with some of it versus fouling out their players. Bilas made an interesting comment that if you can keep it close down the stretch, WVU's decision making and play falls apart. I think he said that with about 11 minutes to go in the game.

They're a tough team and a good defensive team. Offensively, I agree that they have issues and that they don't seem to have a plan in big moments.

I'd speculate part of it is pressing and generating offense off defense. If you can handle the press, prevent that and make WVA play half court offense, that's where the issues manifest themselves.

KU beats Stanford by 20 at Stanford, Arizona wins by 2? Trouble in the desert?

ASU beats KU by 10 at KU, Arizona handles ASU. Trouble in Lawrence?
