5 turnovers in less than 6 minutes. LMAO

Nobody's head is in this game.

No point guard. Get Frankamp in there. Sheesh.

Ugh.

Do they play KSU next?

Flop count: 1

It seems we always struggle at OSU.

Frankamp is no solution to any problem.

Woo, a point.

Tharpe. LMAO

Just sleepwalking right now.

WTF Tharpe???

Tharpe needs to walk back to Lawrence. Now.

Perfectly run fast break.

What was that 10 empty possessions out of our last 11 trips down the court? Come on guys!

Au contraire mon frere. Frankamp plays better defense than Tharpe or Mason.

"HEY!!"

No. No he doesn't.

No, Frankamp is a bad defender too. Mason is the best of the three in that area.

Much better floor balance when Frankamp's in there.

KC, I'm attempting to teach you something. Pay attention.:D

Frankamp isn't going to see much time the rest of the year.

It's not surprising, but KU so far is playing like a team that doesn't care, just like they did in the Baylor road game last year. Going to have to work hard for this one and they just may not have that kind of effort tonight.

Frankamp's awful defense is the main thing that's kept him off the court this season. Have no idea what you're on about.

The games I have watched, Frankamp seems to add a "steadying" influence to the ball handling, when he's on the court. He doesn't try to make the fancy pass!

Not sure that spin has ever worked.

And it's pretty obvious when it's coming.

It's like the Chiefs calling a draw.

Frankamp isn't anywhere near the caliber of playmaker of either Tharpe or Mason either. He may make the safe pass more, but that's because that's all he's capable of doing right now.

That camera looks pretty cool I guess.

Trust me, we cannot win when Tharpe plays this bad. Mason's game is to drive the ball, which is NOT what Self asks/wants of his point guards. Hey, I like Mason, and the kid can score. Just don't think he's the point guard we need yet. Honestly, I don't think we have a point guard that can take us to the Final Four this year. When Tharpe sucks, he can ruin everything. Mason's not ready. And since you boys don't like Frankamp, I guess he's not the answer either. I guess. NOT.

Smart should have flopped.

How was that ball off KU? LMAO

Oh Wiggins... if you'd only learn to finish at the basket.

BTW, Tharep finally made a play (pass to JoJo).

God help other teams if Wiggins starts finishing strong.

The fact that we are even in this game right now is remarkable.

This game has been horribly played so far by both teams.

You post a lot of obvious things.

They've won plenty of teams with Tharpe playing poorly. It's just a lot easier to win when he's playing well. He is an important piece for this team.

And it's not that I don't like Frankamp, it's that he's not a very good player right now.

KU back on top.

Add the shooting percentage for each team together and it's a nice 55%...

I try my best. LMAO

KU is making mistake on offense but the defense has been solid. That's why we are still in this game. That's what they will need come NCAA tourney time.

I'm getting pretty sick of Tharpe's shit

Well apparently Coach agrees with you. I just like Frankamp's game as per maintaining floor balance. Plus, I think he stays in front of his guy much better than Tharpe.

Nonetheless, I agree that Tharpe is critical to this team. He's just a very frustrating player as per his up/down play.

OSU has been pretty out of control so far too. Although that might have something to do with Embiid's presence, they can't play their normal game with a rim presence like him.

Uhhh, I believe one of those blocks was by Ellis, everybody's favorite defensive whipping boy.

Tacos are good.

Shame on you Plow, that was too easy. :drool:

I'm not sure what the **** all that was about. lol

He's everybody's whipping boy in that area for good reason, no?

And Embiid's presence goes further than blocks, it freaks opponents out, changes shots, and prevents them from attacking as normal.

Black will destroy Smart.

I'm pleased thus far.

Holding OSU under 20 pts at home thus far is damn impressive.

Is Tharpe even awake right now?

what the hell is Tharpe doing out there?

Frankamp coming in.

Tharpe having a really bad game so far. KC, you SURE you don't want Frankamp in there?!?!?!?!

every other game, Tharpe smokes pot prior to game time it seems.

I sure hope Tharpe gets this shit out of his system come tournament time.

Oh, I agree about Embid. Ku's defense is much better with him in there.

As for Ellis, yes, he has been not good on defense. However, I have noticed his defense improving as of late. Ever since that KSU game, he has stepped it up on defense from what I've noticed.

Frankamp in, Wiggins reacts!

llololol

"marcus smart flopped there"

just throwing the ball to the other team for no apparent reason

Best flop attempt ever. LMAO

Good luck defending that one KCC.

Smart flops.

Was that another Smart flop?

Awesome-smart

I hate that F****r so much.

Flop count: 2 1/2 (the last one was 1.5)

Lol. How can anybody root for Marcus Smart? That dude is the biggest douchebag on the face of the planet.

No. :(

What was the over/under on Smart flops tonight?

I kinda think Smart's an ok guy, he just seems/acts VERY immature. Plays like a super talented middle school player. Every touch is exaggerated as if he was killed. Very odd for a guy SO talented.

What's wrong with flopping? They generally help his team. What I can't defend are the poor shots he's taken in this game.

again, if you're a walk-on....with limited skills, I get the flopping (as you dont have much in the tank talent-wise).

But if you're a first-round pick, and you act every opportunity you get - that makes you a bitch.

I'm pretty sure after Smart did back clips on KU's court last year that Self challenged his team to beat him up and outphysical them.

Because it's weak ass shit.

Mason definitely wants to be a scoring PG.

I think you've captured the essence of the matter there, ceej.

I suppose that makes Durant, LeBron, Kobe, and Harden bitches too. Because they're all excellent at it.

And flopping reminds me of Duke.

I loathe Duke.

It won't be this year, but he's going to end up being a great player for this team down the line.
