PrintRadford Highlanders at Kansas Jayhawks, Dec 9, 2009 7:00 PM CST
Another barn burner in store for the Jayhawks at home? Doubtful, but the Radford Highlanders do look to have some solid players as we discussed in our game preview earlier today and they might provide a better opponent for the Jayhawks than some of the recent home contests.
As always this is your gameday Rock Chalk talking game thread for all things Kansas v Radford, all things Kansas basketball and should this one get out of hand probably a few things completely unrelated. Regardless, pull up the perverbial bar stool to tonights OGT and take in what should be a Kansas win.
Those watching online out of the area here's your link for Justin.TV and an online feed. Password as always is phog, not sure why it wasn't working Saturday as some stated in the thread but it looks to be on for tonight.

The Prophet gets a start!
T2 must be in the doghouse.
Just sending a message
to T2 that he’s got to do better. His D has been good, but he’s been brutal handling the ball.

Yep, good move by Coach Self.
I used to work with an old man that told me- Son, every workplace has a dumbass. If you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
he could have had..
the MVP for the opposing team with his turnovers the last few games.
Seriously, though, it feels like he’s been really trying way too hard to “do something” when he’s had the ball.
not playing your best defender
doesn’t seem like a great recipe for success. Hopefully this doesn’t become a pattern

Is he stopping more points with his offense or defense though?

I think Self is searching
for someone to do a decent job of running the point behind Sherron, both to let him play the 2, and in case Sherron has any injury problems T2 should be that guy, but he’s been too undependable so far.
by hunter s. royal on Dec 9, 2009 7:09 PM CST up reply actions
absolutely
T2 hasn’t been reliable enough to run the point. He’s just been awful with turnovers, bad decisions, lazy passes, and early, stupid shots.
Too bad CJ has been hurt so much.
He may be the most natural point on the team, but he’s not been healthy enough to get minutes.

i think
I think that they qualify as soon as finals are technically over. 12/19 has been said over and gover regarding Withey.
passes and turnovers are offensive stats
and TyTay creates at least one steal/breakaway dunk per game
it's not even Christmas yet
let’s get halfway through conference season before we crucify the guy

i'll concede that much
also, my internet’s f’d up and i’m tryin to glance at the Bulls game in between commercials so sorry if i’m like 5 minutes late on a lotta this
I agree with Danny
that T2’s D is excellent, but Self has been using him as the main ballhandler to take wear & tear off Sherron and to get ready for next year, and he’s been sloppy. Lots of time to improve.
by hunter s. royal on Dec 9, 2009 7:32 PM CST up reply actions
So he's allowed 1 turnover?
He’s been well over that…
I used to work with an old man that told me- Son, every workplace has a dumbass. If you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
hey, he averages more assists than turnovers,
and if you couple that with his 2 steals per game, then i’d say it’s at least a wash
Agreed for the most part, but EJ isn't far behind either if he can take care of the ball.
Just saying he has struggled so far offensively, a little wake-up won’t hurt him any.

Fun Facts About Radford
You guys should check out Radford’s wiki page at some point. There’s clearly been some very bitter edits to the page, complaining about the chancellor, the architecture, etc.
Example: “Penelope W. Kyle, J.D., M.B.A., became Radford’s sixth president June 1, 2005, after a career in business and government, most notably as director of the state lottery. She is the first president to the university without a doctorate and it greatly shows. Many of the students think that with an MBA she would be able to run a University much better.”
Very strange.

i dunno if anybody saw hilights of last night's game,
but Rose was on fire in the 4th quarter, and hit the go ahead floater with 19 seconds left… harris regained the lead for NJ with a floater of his own and then, inexplicably, John Salmons launched a 3-pointer when there were still 10 seconds left in the game.
after the game, Del Negro said the play was indeed designed for Rose, but “after he wasn’t open, we went with plan B.” on the replay you can clearly see Rose get open at the elbow and waiting for the ball as Salmons rises up for 3. part of me wonders if Salmons didn’t intentionally take a bad shot as a means of undermining Del Negro in hopes that he’d be fired
yea, people were pissed off for a few days,
but after losing to the Nets, the shoe-tying thing is just a footnote on what’s been a bad season for a very untalented team. most people will view the season as a success as long as Rose takes another step forward and Del Negro gets fired.
They would've beaten the Celtics last year with a good coach

Are you insinuating

probably,
but even still, nobody expected them to seriously contend beyond that series… the problem this year is they seem to have actually taken a step backwards (especially Rose) when all indications suggested that they’d grow from that playoff series last season.

He was a perfect Scott Skiles player,

I hate to say it,

I agree with the injuries hurting him,
but comparing him to Walton is being very kind. :) I think he got tired of being beat up by stronger players in the pros, and just turned into a jumpshooter.
by hunter s. royal on Dec 9, 2009 8:18 PM CST up reply actions
good point,
not to mention Hinrich for about 5 years used to be assigned to the other team’s best guard, so in a given week he’d go from Wade to Kobe to chasing Tony Parker for 40 minutes a night… and since he’s not a superior athlete he can’t afford not to give 100% at all times. that’ll definitely wear on a guy over time.

Difference i Walton made his teammates better
phenomenal passing, etc. Wilt was concerned with one thing: Wilt’s stats. I’d take Walton too, Wilt won what, one NBA ring with his stats?
And Wilt graduated early, so can’t call him an alum. Or did he go back to school? I was always under the impression Wilt and KU were estranged for quite some time after he played here…
they were
First time he came back after he left was in ’97 when they hung his jersey.
I was a freshman, and very proud to be at that game.
Wilt also had to play against
the Celtics for most his career when they had 6-8 pro basketball hall of famers on the roster at the same time.

Wilt played along side some pretty solid players as well

best b-ball we've played
Despite X not having a huge second half, this is hands-down the best basketball we’ve played. I had work come up, so I’m watching the second half on TiVo (I’m at the 8 minute mark right now), but the passes have been crisp, the shots have been logical (not jacked up as soon as they get the ball), while TR has been playing like a freshman, he’s been handling himself pretty well against a 6’11, 270lb center who probably will be in the league next season, and Tyshawn has been playing like there is no pressure on him whatsoever.
If we play like we are right now (keep in mind I haven’t seen the last 8 minutes of the game), I welcome any challenge any night of the week.
Bring on 40-0.
Forgot there was a game tonight.
Why the fuck is our schedule full of creampuffs that we can wafflestomp with our second team? For real. The schedule this year is obnoxious. It’s hard to get up for a game against freaking Radford.

I blame him for everything. When the drunk prick lost control of his car last night and crashed it into my hotel, I just pulled out my Dan Hawkins “how do I downplay this in the most offensive way possible?” book of quotes and started firing them off. Apparently he wasn’t amused when I told him he was one or two more turns of the wheel from defeating the road and he just needed to cinch a few things up before he was on the right track.

I remember the Alpine Slide and a few other things up there but when I was there a few months ago I was blown away at how big it was. I wish people would leave the Colorado mountain towns alone.

from what I hear
There are 8-10 story ski-in-ski-outs blocking access to Winter Park Mountain now. They were just in the foundation stage the last time I was there (a decade ago).
I remember my dad telling me about taking the Amtrak to WP from Denver in college (late 60s, early 70s), and having to hitchhike either 1 way (into town) or the other (toward the mountain).
Hernando’s Pizza is still some of the best I’ve ever had.
they still had the ski train...
up until a couple years ago…supposedly it is getting ready to make another comeback.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Sounds like when I lived in Switzerland
We had similar upbringings, skiing, early aged beer “sipping” and never more than a few sips of course
I've got a sister in Glenwood Springs
I go out to see occasionally. No problem making a stop in Denver first.

another member of the Summit...
this thing is shaping up to rival the G8…I’m pretty sure we’ll discuss more important things.

Glenwood Springs is cool.
Have enjoyed each of my visits out there.

I still can't figure out....
which one you are referring to…is it my pints pub comment?

Good lord, man. The Up button takes you to it!
this is the second mention of the…
RCT Summit in Denver that I’ve read tonight.

ah gotcha...
well I think it the other reference was in our fantasy football fanpost where I jokingly said something about the offseason owners meeting to which KUGrad referenced a gathering in Denver. Then I saw the above mention of a gathering in Denver and I thought it was funny that it was mentioned twice in a night.

DUDE
Owners meeting. Brilliant idea.
Maybe we could do an in-person draft. Conference call in the folks who couldn’t make it.
this thing picks up more and more steam by the second...
just depends if anyone is serious…easy for me I’m already here.

well
even numbered years are generally difficult for me, but I could probably swing it. Just gotta figure out what to do with the women-folk for a couple hours.
What?
Put them in the kitchen making sandwiches.
ooo0o000oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

I'm a political consultant

I totally almost “took ownership of this team” just before you stopped the potential shenanigans. I SO could have used LFitz this week.
Whoa whoa whoa.
What happened? Sounds like I missed out on some awesome RCT drama?

I wanna know what happened. Let me into the club, guys. I swear I’m cool.

In the 13th of 14 weeks there were 16 of 18 teams still in playoff contention.

you do realize...
you are typing this idea on a blog that you spend a great deal of time on. You are also asking a bunch of other guys who spend there days talking Jayhawk sports on a computer to do the same thing. Now I’m confident in my abilities to tackle a moose bare handed, but the rest of you guys..I’m not so sure : )

I've got the lumberjack beard already.
Bitches best catch up to me if you think you have a chance.

I swear it is.
I swear. I have the shirt with the logo to prove. Fuck my life I can’t believe this is what it’s come down to for me.

I've been to Colorado Springs... once
Pretty awesome though. Flew into Denver airport(which, by the way, is in a terrible location), and loved CS. Went up Pike’s Peak, saw the Air Force Academy. Cool stuff.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
It's not that interesting.
Losing control of your car in a parking lot covered in snow and ice happens I guess. Why he was out drinking I don’t know. The guy was just an idiot.

So Mizzou loses to Oral Roberts
last second

MU hater.
They’ve got .8 seconds left.

you sure?
ESPN says it’s a final?
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
It's still going on.
Watching it on metrosports KC. They’re reviewing the clock to determine exactly how much time is left. MU will have a hail mary try left.

So now they've lost to both Richmond and Oral Roberts...
didn’t they used to make fun of us for losing to those two teams? Along with Bradley and Bucknell…they have those two scheduled in the future? Like next year?
they've lost 3 of 4...
Richmond, Vanderbilt and Oral Roberts. Tough early go, but I think they’re young this year.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Who cares if they make fun of us?
I mean, it’s Missouri. Until they win ANYTHING it’s just going to be a lot of noise.

Indeed!

Anybody watching UK-UConn?
UK was up 12-0, now it’s tied and they’re starting to beat the crap out of each other. Fun.
I wasn't going to watch it
because I fear the verbal fellatio of John Wall is going to be Tebowian so I’d rather not but if they’re going to beat the crap out of each other…

at least he doesn't have bible verses under his eyes
When I flipped on the game on Saturday, my wife walked in and said, (and I quote):
“Who is that f**king douchebag with the bibleverses under his eyes?”
I replied that she answered her question when she asked it.
That's a keeper.

You wife sounds like a keeper

Hooray for your wife.
My sentiments exactly.
Though I hope Tebow has a long pro career, because it’s a guarantee he’ll be in politics afterwards and torturing us forever as he wastes our tax money on his personal crusades.
