Our best defender and rebounder. Rest him until March if it is serious, need him ready for then.

Thankfully McCullar's back in. Crisis averted.

Now we know how obvious the contact has to be for Johnson to pick up number 4.

Got away with the first one somehow.

Yeah, Johnson almost knocked off his feet on the first one.

This is going to be a long 5 minutes with both teams in the double bonus

Half our guys are gonna get fouled out in this game the way they're calling it.

We need our Dick to finish

Can i cancel my espn+ after tonight? The rest say espn networks, but are those all espn, espn2 or espnu?

No.

There are 5 open games left that ESPN hasn't decided where to put yet.

Dumb

This is literally the same game as the first time.

Difference is just that Kansas hit 3’s at a typical rate this time.

Lol what is that

KState Twitter has adopted Bengal Tweets.

What was that?

LMAO at that foul on Wilson for rebounding under the basket with position

That might have been the worst call of the night. Even the K State players were jogging back on defense.

Harris with a great night.

Yeah he made up for that missed layup with the nice floater on the next possession

Is Tang really gonna start fouling here? Take your loss.

Cool, just foul for the entire final minute. We'll take the KenPom jump.

47 total fouls....so far

Good win, boys.

Like we said. Kansas is obviously the better team. The game in Manhattan was just unlucky given the 3 point shooting for both teams (especially KU missing so many open ones).

I wish Harris dunked that. EJ would have. LMAO

EJ would have punched someone in the balls then Dunked it! :)

That my favorite regular season individual performance by any Jayhawk. He hit another level in that one.

Good, old Melvin Weatherwax too

WEATHERWAX!!!

The ensuing photoshop thread on The Phog following that game was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.

I was at this game… the Hilton tears were delicious.

Wait, did Kansas lose by 18 to the team that lost to a 15 seed?

Oh, yes they did. In Lawrence.

What is this shit? This would be like the Bengals bragging about beating the Chiefs in a week 10 regular season game if the Chiefs go on to win a SB this year. LMAO

I can only imagine how satisfying that must have been. Hopefully more will come this Saturday.

Clemence finally had a good game!

It's all they really have right now.

Oh, you're here... No where to go? Got it. Make yourself comfy you ****ing loser.

Just lemme get something straight... You've decided to come here, talk shit about the Chiefs and the Jayhawks and the before 1990, the last time you can talk about anything outside of WKRP, Pete Rose was raping teenagers and calling it cool. Is that about where we're at?

F. O. you jagoff

Uh... **** off?

EJ was one of my favorites and he was just unconscious against weatherwax in that game.

Glad you got your superbowl in that game, we can do this every year if you would like.

What did that get you? Your reward was what?
Your team had a great game, couldn't do anything wrong ! Our team had a bad game, couldn't do anything right.

That game was an aberration, most likely as your early exit last year to a #15 seed.

Now run along, try not to be late on taking your sister out on your date.

Bwahahahaha

I keep thinking that it has to be a small contingent of Kentucky fans who do this, but I’m starting to realize that it’s pretty much all of them. I can’t even imagine still bringing up that game after KU won the title AND beat Kentucky’s asses at home on Saturday. It’s such a Missouri thing to do. But then again, big boy wins aren’t very common for that program these days. They’ve lost like 80% of games vs ranked teams the last several years, with one tourney win over a power 5 team since 2015. Seems pretty Missouri-esque so I guess it makes sense.

Their glory days are over so this is what they’re reduced to. Sad. Funny. But sad

Speaking of faded glories: Sat will be the 3rd time in 5 years dook UNC both unranked for a game

Happened 3x the prior 65 years

Imagine if KState still had Nijel Pack. They are salty now but got damn

How would kstate students get into the student section?

https://www.kansan.com/news/ku-athle...3596c50a7.html

Could be grad students I guess

Uhh...isn't that the way it should be? The people who put in the time by camping get to actually go to the games over those who don't when there is a capacity issue? At least that's the way it was in my time.

This generation more and more seems to be full of whiners.

It's an early 11:00 am game @ the booclones this morning on ESPN.

CJ Moore wrote a fantastic article on the Athletic about KJ Adam’s and his mom. Behind a paywall, but it’s awesome. She told Self before his freshman year something along the lines of “I’m dropping off a good man, I need you to turn him into an asshole.”

Back to our bad starts. Dick gets beat badly, Wilson doesn’t box his guy out, Harris gambles and whiffs all resulting in easy baskets.

Cold, cold, cold

Another game where they weren't ready for the intensity off the jump. Been happening the whole conference season.

These games fly by when the refs call pretty much nothing. 2 combined fouls.

Udeh is the only player on either team who can foul

Goddamn. Needed that one to fall.

Honestly, I live here in Ky and IMHO it runs about 25-30% of the people. There are passionate fanatic fans and the forementioned lunatics!

Was that a “You Suck, Dick” chant?

Ok gang, can't watch today, up to you all to watch and pull the boys to victory!

:KU:

Rough game. Refs letting them play through lots of contact. It'll be hilarious when they change in the 2nd half and start calling everything.

29% fg (so far) and down 4. Not bad, but need to WakeTF up.

Yes.

Why is everyone still bailing off of KJ. At this point, it's evident that we were all wrong about him?

Pettiford having a rough game

Terrible charge call after all the non calls

Terrible fn call

That was a really nice post move by King.

And the guy fighting thru the screen almost knocked us on our ass the time before.

Clemence made a play, nobody came a long and he hurt himself.

****ing typical.

Say what you will about the refs (and I will, that offensive foul on Wilson was dreadful), 9 turnovers in the first 16 minutes. Just terrible basketball. They deserve this deficit.

**** that was good defense and they pulled it out.

I still feel like we're going to win this game

Terrible half and terrible finish

11 turnovers, 32% shooting. Will be a blowout if they play anything like that again in the 2nd half.

I wish Harris would at least try a wide open three once in a while today.

I’m still baffled at why Harris is the key guy on last shots. Do we really have no better options? I guess when you are struggling to score 50 in a game it might be true.

I am glad I was busy for most of that shitfest. Coming back and beating these turds after that half would be damn delicious.

Struggling to score 50 in a game? The only time that has happened all season was against Tennessee and today. They literally scored 90 3 days ago.

Gradey Dick is 7-29 from 3 over the last 5.

That trend appears to be continuing. You have to let him shoot his way out of this, but it’s weird seeing such a good shooter miss so many open looks over a long period of time.

Fatigue probably. He plays a ton of minutes for this team at a very high level of intensity. Too good a shooter not to come out of it though.

32 vs 48 fg% 1st half.
