Yeah I know that anything can happen but...... Pffffttt! Screw that. I expect a Rock Chalk beat down. :)

[Nzoner]

So does Vegas,Hawks -24 right now

[TribalElder]

Not a game

Last game was good vs osu

This one will not be a game

[DJay23]

I would expect that crowd to be way more hyped for a game against a bottom feeder than they normally are.

[KC_Connection]

So does Vegas,Hawks -24 right now
They were 20+ point favorites the first time against TCU. Didn't quite go that way.

[Reerun_KC]

So does Vegas,Hawks -24 right now
I know you are gambling man... If I was you, I would take everything I own and put it on TCU to cover or win out right...

Probably would be the smartest move of your life...

[CoMoChief]

damnit....thought KU was playing ISU today.

I don't wanna watch this game...KU's going out huntin' for blood in this game, and it's not gonna even be a game after 10min.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

hawks by 43

[A Salt Weapon]

I think we show up at home today. It wouldn't surprise me to win by 20+.

From now on, they will not talk, nay talk
And their family won't have to walk cross grave moss
We pro ball on em, cause we ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

ISU is on Big Monday.

Like a ZZ Top songs says,"I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole."

[KC native]

I'm going to laugh uncontrollably if TCU wins again.

[lewdog]

That is a huge spread!!!

Interesting........

You're being sarcastic, right?

[Pablo]

You're being sarcastic, right?You never know with Reerun. Hard to figure what goes on in that guy's head.

[KC_Connection]

Probably would be the smartest move of your life...
And I definitely wouldn't listen to Reerun about betting on anything.

[Mr. Laz]

Rock Chalk

[Pablo]

This shouldn't be a game by half. At least I hope that's the way it works out.

Rock Chalk motherfuckas!!

[Chiefs Pantalones]

The Glory, The Power, The History, The Legends, The Titles, The Tradition. ROCK CHALK!

[chiefsfan987]

lets do this!

[Mr. Laz]

good start


a drive by Releford and a give/go between withey and Bmac


well done

[Mr. Laz]

Young is on

EJ is not

[Lzen]

Young is on

EJ is not

That's ok about EJ. It will come. As long as he stays aggressive, good things will happen.

[Mr. Laz]

yeah ... Bmac hit a shot

[KC_Connection]

We all lose for having to watch TCU play basketball. Disgusting.

[Mr. Laz]

KU active and good with energy on offense

[Mr. Laz]

Ellis does everything but make the shot

[Mr. Laz]

YES!!!!!!


Releford hits

[silver5liter]

Ellis does everything but make the shot

It will come, seems like he plays nervous at times.

[BourbonMan]

....

[Mr. Laz]

It will come, seems like he plays nervous at times.

he does, he's gotten a lot of shots rejected and it's in his head.

[Mr. Laz]

I think Self has to stop with this Traylor/Ellis combo ... he needs to separate them up so they can gain some confidence.

[silver5liter]

There we go ellis

[Mr. Laz]

Young with the post up!!


:clap:

[ArrowheadHawk]

Now this is what the first game should have been like.

[Pablo]

Young means so much to this team.

[chiefsfan987]

I only have audio today so I can't see what's going on, but TCU's announcers keep saying the scoreboard is wrong that TCU should have 11 points. Are they right or are they just crazy?

[Mr. Laz]

KU breaks out the press JUST BECAUSE



very nice :clap:



need to do it every game

[Lzen]

I only have audio today so I can't see what's going on, but TCU's announcers keep saying the scoreboard is wrong that TCU should have 11 points. Are they right or are they just crazy?

Not sure. I don't recall any points not being given to them. I think their announcers are probably just as shitty as their team. ROFL

[chiefsfan987]

Does this KU team travel more than any team we've had in recent history? Seems like they do and most times they don't even get called for it.

[Mr. Laz]

Tharpe is a mess again

[Lzen]

I'm going to laugh uncontrollably if TCU wins again.

You were saying? :)

[KC_Connection]

Tharpe is a mess again
Again? He's been a mess for the entire season outside of about three games in December and against KSU last week.

[KC_Connection]

KU breaks out the press JUST BECAUSE



very nice :clap:

Breaking out the press won't work like this against teams that don't play some of the shittiest basketball in the entire country.

[silver5liter]

Thats the kind of miss from ellis that pisses me off

[KC native]

You were saying? :)

I have no expectations for TCU basketball. When I was in school I was good friends with several bball players. The difference in treatment for basketball and football is tremendous. TCU is working on improving bball (we're already getting better recruits) but they still have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooo*deep breath*ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go.

Baseball season will be good this year though.

[silver5liter]

Dear lord that dunk

[KC_Connection]

Perry just had an open dunk under the rim after a great pass, but instead chose to wait under the basket until he was contested and then missed a layup. As usual.

Then McLemore did some ridiculous VC-like dunk down the baseline. Not usual, but not surprising either.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Dear lord that dunk

......was SICK!

[Mr_Tomahawk]

We are winning.

[Lzen]

Perry just had an open dunk under the rim after a great pass from Nadir Tharpe, but instead chose to wait under the basket until he was contested and then missed a layup. As usual.

FYP
:D

[KC_Connection]

FYP
:D
And as usual, Tharpe shows flashes of good things but mostly plays poor basketball.

[teedubya]

9 point half by TCU. Fuck you, TCU.

[ArrowheadHawk]

LOL at TCU. Lowest point total in a half ever in Big 12 play.

[Lzen]

And as usual, Tharpe shows flashes of good things but mostly plays poor basketball.

I didn't think he played that poorly. Sure, he had a couple TOs and he missed a couple shots, but overall I didn't think he played nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Freakin' delicious.

[chiefsfan987]

LOL at TCU. Lowest point total in a half ever in Big 12 play.

It's TCU's lowest point total in their history also. Thier previous low was 10 against Iowa State earlier this year.

[KC_Connection]

I didn't think he played that poorly. Sure, he had a couple TOs and he missed a couple shots, but overall I didn't think he played nearly as bad as you make it out to be.
Making it out to be? I didn't mention Tharpe's play today other than that post (though it clearly wasn't good).

[Lzen]

Releford faked him out of his jock. ROFL

[chiefsfan987]

KU playing like **** in the second half.

[KC_Connection]

This is the most boring game I've seen since KU beat Texas Tech. Just terrible stuff...and they've brought us down to their level in the 2nd half.

[ArrowheadHawk]

[chiefsfan987]

If I were self I'd be pissed. That second half effort was pathetic.

[KC_Connection]

Couldn't get through that entire game. Glad it's over and that I won't have to watch that team play again this season. Can we trade TCU back for a different MWC school like UNLV or New Mexico?

[Prison Bitch]

TCU was a terrible add.

[Buehler445]

So yeah. That's what the first game should have been. Young is playing pretty damn good ball right now. He's made several good plays outside of his normal energy plays. Hopefully he can keep getting better.

BMac is sick. Just fucking sick. I love watching that kid play. The best part is he hustles his ass off on D.

[O.city]

Didnt' get to watch the game, did see some highlights. Atleast we now know Ellis can make a jump shot from the top of the key.

[CoMoChief]

damn Releford's brother absolutely went to town today. 36pts.

[Reerun_KC]

Been at soccer games all day so haven't watched game but from box score. Tcu has kicked ku in the balls for 3 of 4 halves of basketball.

[Lzen]

ROFL It figures you would see it that way after today's game. You're wrong, of course.

KU @ TCU - KU outscored TCU in the 2nd half 42-40. So, the fact is that TCU won 2 halves and KU won 2 halves. Of course, in the 2nd half today, KU seemed to get bored and also Self let the backups play a lot more minutes. That is really the reason TCU was able to score in the 2nd half. I'm really not concerned.

[Bambi]

Pretty standard today.

[Pants]

Yeah, it was really weird because Bill kept the starters in the game till the very end.

:facepalm:

No they didn't. In the second half it was TCU 39 KU 36, and they were already winning the second half before the reserves got in the game. KU played a ****** second half.

[Silock]

Won by nearly 30. Who gives a shit?

[Pablo]

Nobody should ever value reeruns opinions. They are worthless.

[Ceej]

Never go full ree-run?

[Prison Bitch]

No they didn't. In the second half it was TCU 39 KU 36, and they were already winning the second half before the reserves got in the game. KU played a ****** second half.

Not sure about that, I think tcu scored the last 4 of the game with our scrubs in. This is dumb anyway since we are 11-3 and they are 1-13.

[DJay23]

No they didn't. In the second half it was TCU 39 KU 36, and they were already winning the second half before the reserves got in the game. KU played a ****** second half.

Did you read that wrong? Lzen was talking about the game in Fort Worth not yesterday. The reserves didn't get in to the game in Fort Worth (that I can recall).

[DJay23]

But seriously, getting pissed about the second half of a blowout? The starters put it in cruise control the second half, but they are also coming off playing a very emotional double OT game in a difficult environment, with another tough road game in 2 days. Do you really want them putting the pedal to the floor in the second half of a blowout at home? Getting guys like Traylor, Tharpe, Ellis, and White live game reps is important if not for this year than for next. If it means turning a potential 40 point blowout into a 25 point blowout, well I'll yield to Bill Self on those decisions. He hasn't steered it wrong yet.

Also Perry Ellis had a nice game. He had some mistakes, but also dropped some shots. That should help his confidence.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

ROFL Wow

[Reerun_KC]

This place never disappoints! ROFL

[KC_Connection]

There's nothing to be pissed about. KU stopped trying once they built a 30 point lead (in a single half) and Self started playing guys like Ellis who are seemingly incapable of rebounding/playing defense (which is really fine by me in a game like that). The entire 2nd half wasn't worth watching at all as nobody was playing with any intensity.

The game is thankfully over and there's really nothing to take out of it other than KU being able to beat down a terrible team at home easily. Move on to the next one.

Exactly. And yes, I was referring to the game at TCU.

Explain. Were you just trolling? Or do you actually believe the BS you posted?

McLemore said in his post-game that his MJ style dunk was the third best he's done this year.

Windmill first, then the 360. I'd have to agree.

Love watching that kid play.
