That close of a game will surprise me.

I think it’ll be 8+. Up about 4 with 1:30 left and then the fouls start.

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

I'm happy this game is at 7.

It’d be nice if this was a national game, but I’m nervous enough as it is and would hate to wait until 8 for it.

by MJR on Jan 4, 2012 6:12 PM CST reply actions  

mildly off topic

i love the way the Edmonton Oilers blogs do their game threads and I’d love to do something similar for the recaps but I have a feeling that this being Kansas I’d get murdered by some evangelical wacko

Alrighty then

This game really kind of scares me. That being said, we ALWAYS just seem to play to our competition (excluding the 2nd half of the Kentucky game), so my guess is that it’ll be close but that the Fieldhouse will win it for us.

That was interesting.

Jump ball after the jump ball has to be re-tipped because there hadn’t been a possession yet. Lol.

Just dont let that little new guy beat us

He’s not Jacob Pullen, and we need to make that clear to the world tonight.

Two other things:

1. Owen, you can only see the top half of the new logo on the mobile site. Although just having it say “ROCK” is kinda fun.

2. Xavier Henry was traded to New Orleans today for essentially a 2nd round pick in a 3 team deal. Hopefully he’ll get more PT down there.

Worried when T-Rob missed that early layup,

but we seem to be fairly solid offensively so far. If we can score a decent amount of points tonight i don’t think K-State can stay with us.

HCBS is just trying to get him involved early to keep his other players fresh. He’s played okay so far, too.

If he's gonna be the offensive leader next year, he needs to do that.

I hate watching him catch, dribble around, and shoot a jumper. Very few players can be successful doing that.

Kila's slash for Apr 20 to May 4, 2011, right before he was sent down: .276 / .344 / .448

Yes, while Tyshawn definitely caught Spradling

with an elbow, it definitely didn’t seem intentional.

by hunter s. royal on Jan 4, 2012 8:19 PM CST up reply actions  

the color guy is still pressing and trying to find a way that he's right

Not going to happen. By his interpretation of the rule, basically you can’t have your arms above someone’s head, and if your elbow hits them at all, you get a flagrant foul.

there's a "FakeJeffWithey"

twitter handle that has been pretty funny at times this year. I felt like that aggressive move to the basket and dunk was more representative of Fake Jeff Withey as opposed to the real Jeff Withey.

I’m just giving Withey some grief.

Bill Self has

a concealed carry permit ! For two months now, he’s had T Rel camouflaged as a defensive specialist.

If you told me Releford vs Samuels goes this way – points+4, rebounds+5, offensive rebounds+2, assists+1 and floorburns+3 – I’d have said KU wins by 15, maybe even 18 or 20.

We knew the defense would be there

But if Travis can continue to get to the rim and knock down the open shot (plus his fantastic defense) KU is going to be very hard to beat.

He showed signs tonight of the player we kept hoping he’d be. Hope this is a nice springboard for him.
