***** #1 Kansas @ #16 Tennessee *****

[Reerun_KC]

Game is about to Tip Off.... Rock Chalk Time... Not the hype as it should of been with TN players going all NBA with their choices...


Haters are always welcome....

[doomy3]

Let's go Hawks. We need to come out much sharper than we did last Wednesday.

[kstater]

With 6 scholarship players playing, there's no reason UT should be within 30 today.

[TrebMaxx]

Where's CoMo with his prediction?

[Skip Towne]

I didn't think anyone was going to start a thread.

[CoMoChief]

Where's CoMo with his prediction?

KU win's. Half of Ten's players are suspended.

It will be a different game than the Cornell game.

[Spicy McHaggis]

"I've got guys from Chicago, Detroit ... I'm talking about the 'hood!"

[Spicy McHaggis]

Let's go 'hawks. Let there be no doubt.

[Skip Towne]

Tennbrought their A+++ game. Shooting 100% from 3 pt land.

[kstater]

Hell of a block there.


Boy, I knew about the 6 scholly players, but only 9 are dressed.

[kstater]

One could argue that's a breakaway foul there.

[Skip Towne]

Looks like Tenn wants to run. Well OK.

[CoMoChief]

good shot Taylor.

[CoMoChief]

How's that not a charge. he was just standing there, not moving?

[Skip Towne]

Where are all the KU fans?

[Mr. Laz]

can Tyshawn Taylor ever just do his dam job without being a dumbass?

[kstater]

Where are all the KU fans?

It's a close game against an overmatched opponent. I'm sure they'll show up when the time is right.

[Braincase]

Where are all the KU fans?

I'm here, but I'm watching this game and flipping back and forth between the AZ/GB game. Not much time to type.

[Mr. Laz]

i see we are still handling the pick and roll with the same ineptness as the last game.

[kstater]

Self's going to use all his timeouts in the first half at this rate.

[doomy3]

We are shooting too many threes.

[TIED5573]

Where are all the KU fans?

Where are all the MU fans? Watchin' a Big 10 game?:D

[Goldmember]

Tenn should have suspended those players a long time ago. They are making KU look pretty bad

[Skip Towne]

Patented Collins drive

[Goldmember]

Patented Collins drive

Followed up by a no look assist for a 3 pointer to tie. The guy is amazing

[Goldmember]

With 6 scholarship players playing, there's no reason UT should be within 30 today.

KU's depth should wear them down in the 2nd half

[ArrowheadHawk]

Collins is the man. Just because Tenn. lost a few players doesn't make them suck. I think KU depth will help in the second half. As long as KU can limit those 3 pt shots. Also a lot of open KU shots not falling.

[Reerun_KC]

It's a close game against an overmatched opponent. I'm sure they'll show up when the time is right.

Here, What you need?

[Reerun_KC]

Self's going to use all his timeouts in the first half at this rate.

I bet you Coach Self wont punch a player during the game today..

[Sure-Oz]

whats the score?

[Reerun_KC]

whats the score?

33-33 HT

[doomy3]

whats the score?

Tied at the half.

[Sure-Oz]

33-33 HT

Dang...hard fought game or is ku cold?

[TIED5573]

I bet you Coach Self wont punch a player during the game today..

No, Mangino will.:D

[Bearcat]

It's a close game against an overmatched opponent. I'm sure they'll show up when the time is right.

KU might be overlooking this overmatched opponent who is playing their A+++ game and paid off the refs, but the first half was a much needed wake up call for KU and they learned some valuable lessons.

Did I forget anything?

You nailed it. No need for KSUck fans in this thread now. Unless we lose then we won't hear the end of losing to a top 25 team on the road.

[Reerun_KC]

Dang...hard fought game or is ku cold?

Tn is just out hustling KU right now... KU went on a big run, let up, TN went on a big run then let up and now we are tied at the half...

KU has been playing alot of different players keeping fouls spread out.. Foul Trouble will catch up with TN in the second...

Its survive and move on... Whether they win by 1 or 49... Dont care, just survive and move forward...

But at this rate, KU's first loss in probably just around the corner... The lack of effort they are showing today, I wouldnt be surprised if TN doesnt beat them... I didnt think TN would be this spunky...

MY BAD!

Thanks for the recap, ku will need more tight games, it will just help them in the long run

"Exposed bigs" (it's a hawkchief thing. Prolly homoerotic for him just to type it) and A+=.. wait you got that one. ;)

[Skip Towne]

Really sloppy

[kstater]

Kind of what I was thinking. But KU didn't run it near the amounts they should have in the 1st half.

The miracle 3's and the junk defense.

[kstater]

KU's going to need to start treating this game like a tournament game. The longer you let a team like this hang around.

[Braincase]

I am disappointed in KU's performance so far, but at the same time I have to applaud Ten's game and energy. In light of the adversity they face, they have brought every ounce of everything they have into this game.

[Bearcat]

The miracle 3's and the junk defense.

CoMo said Tenn would be cold from 3.... damned, missed that one.

[Braincase]

Chism's 4th

[Braincase]

Prince's 4th

[kstater]

How is that not an intentional? Not hating, but that's textbook.

[doomy3]

Why can't we get a look at anything besides a three?

[doomy3]

How the hell was that not a held ball?

[Braincase]

How is that not an intentional? Not hating, but that's textbook.

He went for the ball. Pretty obvious to me.

[Stanley Nickels]

Bad decision by the ref there. That was a jump ball.
When ku's defense is on, they can be smothering... problem is, Tennessee started shooting lights out so ku had to press beyond the arc. Led to Tennessee being able to drive the lane. Aldrich is an enigma to me, he's a nothing near the player he was last year

[Mr. Laz]

holy crap ... Self went to a zone


you know he doesn't know what else to do now

[Braincase]

How the hell was that not a held ball?

Home cookin'

[Reerun_KC]

WOW, KU is playing like garbage...

[Stanley Nickels]

FTR, I still think kansas wins. But there is a possibility that if UT keeps shooting the way it is, I'll be wrong. That's what you would call an outlier-- ku is the better team, but Tennessee is shooting well above their season average from behind the arc.

[Reerun_KC]

holy crap ... Self went to a zone


you know he doesn't know what else to do now

Nothing else is working....

at least zone is stopping the dribble drives...

But they still are shooting over 50% from 3... Gotta shut that down or at least match it...

[Buehler445]

KU is looking like complete shit.

It doesn't seem like they're pressing or playing scared, they just have their heads in their ass.

[Reerun_KC]

KU is looking like complete shit.

It doesn't seem like they're pressing or playing scared, they just have their heads in their ass.

This!

[Stanley Nickels]

I think fatigue and fouls will doom Tennessee at the end of this one.

[Buehler445]

Nothing else is working....

at least zone is stopping the dribble drives...

But they still are shooting over 50% from 3... Gotta shut that down or at least match it...

And get the fucking boards. That's the major concern with a zone.

[Buehler445]

No way that was a charge. None.

[kstater]

Ugly there.

[Buehler445]

I thought they were going to call a charge there too.
I was going to break my TV>

[RNR]

Unable to watch what is the score?

[Buehler445]

What was the call on that?

[Buehler445]

49-55 TNn 9:14 in the game.

[kstater]

What was the call on that?

Shot clock.

RNR:

55-49 Tennessee

[Reerun_KC]

They are killing us on the foul count.... Good thing they suck at FT's other wise they would be up 20

[Skip Towne]

It's a good thing they are bricking free throws.

[Reerun_KC]

At this point, I think KU is stupid!

[Stanley Nickels]

What a horrible shot..

[Stanley Nickels]

Refs are calling things even, IMO, but they're calling it WAY too tight.

[doomy3]

We can't fucking hit anything.

[Mr. Laz]

since we can't seem to play worth a shit we need to just drive to the hoop on every freaking play and try to foul everyone out.

[Reerun_KC]

We can't ****ing hit anything.And were playing like a bunch of MUrons.... Just ass... I am about to break something.....

[CoMoChief]

bunch of slap tacky foul calling.

[Buehler445]

since we can't seem to play worth a shit we need to just drive to the hoop on every freaking play and try to foul everyone out.

I'd agree with that.

[Silock]

This is stupid. I can't believe I skipped Disney World for this shit.

[kstater]

No reason a shooter should be that open in a zone.

[Reerun_KC]

are you kidding me?

Getting schooled by a walkon?

[Reerun_KC]

No reason a shooter should be that open in a zone.
this!

[007]

I am done watching KU. Everytime I tune in this is the crap that happens. When I don't watch they win with ease.

[Buehler445]

since we can't seem to play worth a shit we need to just drive to the hoop on every freaking play and try to foul everyone out.

That's what Tennessee is doing.

[Sure-Oz]

Drills the trey

[teedubya]

Pathetic.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Stanley Nickels]

I'm not really rooting for either team, but the refs have made this game almost non-enjoyable. I would MUCH rather see two teams get in their rhythms and let the players play it out. When the refs control a game, it's just a chore to watch

[Sure-Oz]

Horrible defense there but collins answers!

[Buehler445]

Aldrich needed to hedge the guy inside so Sherron could recover.

[007]

I thought that was a three.

[Stanley Nickels]

Collins is one of my five least-liked jayhawks of all time.

And that is basically a compliment if you're a ku fan.

[Reerun_KC]

He was on the line.... 2

[Buehler445]

I thought that was a three.

So did I.

[teedubya]

Wanna beat KU? Play tenacious zone d. Christ.

1. Ryan Robertson

[Buehler445]

If they would have called a foul there, someone would have died.

[Buehler445]

Horrid shot.

[Buehler445]

Big time take by X.

[Reerun_KC]

X

[doomy3]

THAT's what I want to see Xavier do more. He is so strong when he wants to get to the hoop.

[beer bacon]

I just checked the score and saw that KU is losing. How is this possible?

[teedubya]

I'm freaking out over here.

[doomy3]

more lazy passing...

[Buehler445]

No fucking foul on that fucking shit? Fucking Christ.

[Reerun_KC]

TN is just toying with KU now.... They are administering an old fashion ass whopping...

[petegz28]

If KU wins, and they probably will, they have to do a gut check after playing like this against a team that has half their guys suspended and playing walk-ons.

[Braincase]

I just checked the score and saw that KU is losing. How is this possible?

Ten is playing harder and with more adrenalin flowin'.

[Reerun_KC]

If KU wins, and they probably will, they have to do a gut check after playing like this against a team that has half their guys suspended and playing walk-ons.

Regardless of the outcome.. KU should be embarrassed on how they played this game...

TN is intense and pumped.

KU is giving two shits less...

[kstater]

That series pretty much sums up the game: effort.

[Buehler445]

Morris, JFC don't put the ball on the floor.

[Reerun_KC]

If I was Coach Self I would bench everyone and put our walk ons in...

[Reerun_KC]

That series pretty much sums up the game: effort.

Yep Tn had plenty,

KU none!

[doomy3]

Holy Shit.

[kstater]

LMAO

[Reerun_KC]

Who wants to bet that TN storms the court?

[kysirsoze]

What a fucking joke

[beer bacon]

I have been watching the game for about five minutes, and I have seen four or five great plays by Tennessee.

[007]

talk about carelessness.

[petegz28]

Collins went to sleep on that...LMAO....KU thought they were going to walk on the floor and the game would be over

[teedubya]

Wouldn't blame them.

[Silock]

Taylor is just as much a liability on offense as he is a help.

This game is so over. Congrats, Vols. Maybe this will be a wakeup call. But fuck, Cornell should have been it.

[Braincase]

Collins is sleepwalkin' up the court? Please!

[Saulbadguy]

I'd say the state of Kansas may be a tad over-rated thus far, sans Wichita State.

[Stanley Nickels]

As ku fans, you should exact SOME SORT of justice towards petegz and CoMo.. they both anticipate a ku victory. That's as bad as it gets; you're DOOMED

[Reerun_KC]

LMAO

This could be the wake up call that KU needs starting conference play.... Pretty heartless lack luster effort from the players today...

Wouldnt be bad to lose and drop down to 3-4 and start the conference run...

[kstater]

This could be the wake up call that KU needs starting conference play....

Except I've been hearing that for a month now.

[petegz28]

huge misses by TN at the line..could save KU

PS I'm not trolling, this has been a really fun game, save the refs

[007]

Buckell, Bradley, Rhode Island...and the beat goes on

You guys can thank CoMo for this.

Aside from that, Tenn's arena and court looked really cool. Seems like a fun place to watch a basketball game.

Yeah, but to look like crap against the last two teams that they should have easily beat is not a good sign. They just looked way out of sync today and the Vols hustle had a lot to do with that.

Self has said time and time again, that this team doesnt deserve the ranking and that they need a wake up call....

[TIED5573]

Nope, still waitin" for that !st number one vs sixteen seed loss...

[KC_Connection]

Tough game...KU really hadn't played a team that aggressive defensively all season. It looks like they still need to get a little tougher yet. This was one of the games that I figured they might lose (Tennessee is a formidable place to play), but it's time to start playing better. Maybe they were feeling the pressure of a perfect record...time to move on and play like they can in the Big 12.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I promise you Coach Self isnt happy, but glad to shirk that number 1 ranking... Has said it before on hawktalk, he doesnt like being #1...

well guess what? Your not #1 anymore...

The loss was on the road to a ranked opponent. The Summit is not a cake-walk venue. Not a loss to be ashamed of...the way we played, well, there are some things to be ashamed of about that. For one, the team left their feet in Lawrence.

I am happy to shake the #1 ranking, and happy to get the loss out of the way prior to conference play.

Would like to be ranked outside the top 10, but that wont happen.

[Sully]

Briscoe better watch his ass, because you know these guys want to take it out on someone.

Kind of what I was thinking. But KU didn't run it near the amounts they should have in the 1st half.

boy did we underestimate Tenn.

[ArrowheadHawk]

I have a couple of questions about this game? Why did Xavier disappear? Why keep Reed in when he kept missing open 3's. Good game Vols. KU didn't use its depth to its advantage. They should have pounded the shit outa the paint after both Chism and Prince went out of the game with 4 fouls each.

[Sully]

Gotta hand you that one. :)

I'm not a big fan of piling on fans after games, but that was low hanging fruit.

This will come off as piling on, but KU's not getting a pass on this one. Tennessee dressed 9 damn players, 3 of them walk-ons. There's no reason they should win this game, none. I can see KU coming out sluggish in the first half to an inspired team. But come halftime the excuses go out the door. This is a bad sign for KU.

boy did we underestimate Tenn.

No their starting 6 could compete with anybody and the emotion of the week coupled with playing at home. Like Self said. KU would have been better off playing them at full force.

[Buehler445]

Briscoe better watch his ass, because you know these guys want to take it out on someone.

Well played. That made me laugh.

[KC_Connection]

Yeah, we need to peak in the next couple of weeks, max.

Whatever, maybe there will be a players only meeting or something season changing in January. :rolleyes:

Cornell was a bad game...but I'm not really sure they played that badly in this one. Just seemed like a normal tough road game against a pretty good team today.

Usually they pull these out at the end, though.

[Silock]

Until UK and UT lose next week...lol.

I doubt that Texas will lose any time soon.

Oh noes we are doomed.

Yes, we're thinking about cancelling the entire sports program and sticking to debate.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I have a couple of questions about this game? Why did Xavier disappear? Why keep Reed in when he kept missing open 3's. Good game Vols. KU didn't use its depth to its advantage. They should have pounded the shit outa the paint after both Chism and Prince went out of the game with 4 fouls each.

This was the question I kept asking my wife during the game..."Why the fuck is this kid so special he hasn't done shit."

Really hope Self gets these kids back on the ball mentally.

I'll agree with this. I'm very unhappy with this game. They've had several close games that should have woke them up. Memphis should have gotten their heads out.

Forgive me for not being too worried, but KU will be fine.

I thought we played like absolute dogshit.

Horrible offense, and just kept jacking threes. We hardly attacked the basket or went down low at all.

Tyshon Taylor absolutely killed us on both sides of the floor as well. Terrible.

Pretty sure they are playing KState on the road either this week or next week. And that's if they don't lose sooner.

I agree with this. It's a bad sign, but it's not the end of the season.

2 games in a row where we play like shit is BAD.

[007]

So, drop to about 8 is the standard for Big 12 teams right?

Sometimes I think I'm the only one noticing Taylor's pathetic performances.

That's what happens when a team plays tough defense and you get rattled by the crowd. You don't look very good.

It seems we live and die with him. He was the only reason we tied the game up at 64-64.

I wouldn't exactly say Xavier hasn't done shit. He has been very productive.

That said, I would like to see him attacking the basket more, instead of relying on only outside shots. He is too strong to just stand out there and shoot jumpshots. I literally think he can get to the basket whenever he wants, and I think this needs to happen MUCH more often.

[irishjayhawk]

I think we fall to 5. Especially with the other huge upsets this weekend.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Na. They will stay in the top 5.

Eh you are wrong.

Bruce Pearl has a good record at The Summit regardless who he is playing.

We didn't lose to an unranked team or anything...

Am I worried...nope.

KU will drop to #3, I'm sure.

TONS of dumbass turnovers, bad defense, and dumbshit fouls.

I almost threw my TV through the wall when Morris put the ball on the floor in all that traffic. Seriously. WTF are you doing?

[doomy3]

Taylor's defensive "effort" on that off-balance three that kid hit to ice the game was horrendous. He didn't even attempt to get a hand up when the kid was squaring up.

I agree...I was speaking mainly on this game. I hardly noticed him 'till he had the and one towards the end of the game.

They'll probably go to 4, maybe 5. Behind UT KU Duke and possibly Villinova. I guess it kind of depends on how the voters look at Tennesee.
