***THE OFFICIAL WVU vs. KU GAME THREAD***

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Let's do this...

[JoeyChuckles]

Welcome to Allen Field House West Virginia.

[TribalElder]

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

this will be a blowout and not a game.

Enjoy though

[hometeam]

GENO?

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Let's put on a good show for Mr. Wiggins as he is making his official visit tomorrow. Make him feel wanted, Phog.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Actually I think he's coming for the Tech game...

[DJay23]

Actually I think he's coming for the Tech game...

I think that's what I read.

[silver5liter]

Got free tickets to the game tomorrow, Rock Chalk!

[Buehler445]

Got free tickets to the game tomorrow, Rock Chalk!

:rockon:

[Zebedee DuBois]

Only 3 games left in the regular season, and I have not yet read a news story about the Antlers. (contented smile)

[Imon Yourside]

Big question is.......Will we see the beginning of the game? CBS will switch right?

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Syracuse/Louisville makes me wanna eat my poop.

[chiefsfan987]

Big question is.......Will we see the beginning of the game? CBS will switch right?

I think it will be close... Hopefully that game doesn't go into overtime.

[DJay23]

Syracuse/Louisville makes me wanna eat my poop.

I knew better than to watch the first half. It's tight now under 4, so it should be entertaining. I guess you could say both teams are defensively dependent and offensively challenged.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Syracuse/Louisville makes me wanna eat my poop.

That's probably what they say about most Big Bevo matchups

[chiefsfan987]

SOB... this better not go into overtime.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

That's probably what they say about most Big Bevo matchups

Lol it's terrible. It's like watching high school basketball.

[DJay23]

Thanks Louisville! Now get the fuck off my TV screen.

[B14ckmon]

Iowa taking down Indiana today.

[Bambi]

KU's gonna roll.

[kstater]

Early over the back on Withey missed.

[Pablo]

Early over the back on Withey missed.

Thanks pete.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Thanks pete.

:LOL:

[chiefsfan987]

come on...

[Imon Yourside]

Not much energy to start the game, only one inside look and Withey should have dunked it.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Not much energy to start the game, only one inside look and Withey should have dunked it.

It's to be expected after the Monday game.

[chiefsfan987]

ice cold...

[DJay23]

WVU is playing good tight D so far.

[DJay23]

And WVU is shooting way better than they usually do.

[chiefsfan987]

and of course one of the worst shooting teams in the league is just lighting it up.

[Imon Yourside]

Another guy gets hot from outside...what else is new?

[B14ckmon]

WVU is playing with the spirit of Geno today.

[NorthernWV]

As a WVU fan, trust me there is no chance we will win. With past WVU teams I would say we have a chance for an upset, this team is atrocious this year. Even when they play good, they don't win.

[DJay23]

Wow, GREAT block by EJ!

[ArrowheadHawk]

Now were playing some ball.

[Ceej]

I need an update on the refs - as I'm at work.

Do they look jolly and happy?

Since I'm a KU fan I wonder if they got my check I mailed them.

[NorthernWV]

I need an update on the refs - as I'm at work.

Since I'm a KU fan I wonder if they got my check I mailed them.

theyve been letting them play far more than any other big 12 game ive seen this year...fits wvus big east style

[chiefsfan987]

how many point blank shots have we missed already?

[TribalElder]

It's funny how KU is allowing WV to have a little hope. The curb stomping has not started yet. I guess they are toying with WV to keep TV ratings up

[Imon Yourside]

Traylor back to his old suckage again....we need him to hit the simple layups.

[DJay23]

I need an update on the refs - as I'm at work.

Do they look jolly and happy?

Since I'm a KU fan I wonder if they got my check I mailed them.

I saw one lean over to pick up the ball and a whole mess of quarters spilled from his pocket.

[chiefsfan987]

KU pushes the ball up the court so many times when its not there.

[Imon Yourside]

Refs didn't get our money...DOH!

[NorthernWV]

It's funny how KU is allowing WV to have a little hope. The curb stomping has not started yet. I guess they are toying with WV to keep TV ratings up

Like the last time when they won by 5, huh?

[chiefsfan987]

KU is being way too aggressive right now IMO.

[DJay23]

Holy out of control.

[GloryDayz]

Fuck Bill Self and any coach who wants officiating mistakes taken/kept "behind closed doors." It's time "officiating" in all sports, at all levels, came under HUGE public scruteny.

[DJay23]

That's why I like Kevin Young.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Like the last time when they won by 5, huh?That's cute.

[Pepe Silvia]

Who's the lumberjack that plays for WV?

[Captain Obvious]

Looked like Withey got him with the body before he blocked the shot. He's definitely one of the better shot blockers I have ever watched.

[Imon Yourside]

I kind of hope the refs don't get my check, i would much rather use it later.

[NorthernWV]

That's correct.

FYP

[DJay23]

cbssports.com only has 3 blocks for Withey, but I've counted 5 so far.

[NorthernWV]

Who's the lumberjack that plays for WV?

From Istanbul, Turkey and he sucks, cant wait til he graduates

[B14ckmon]

Is this young guy related to Nick Young in the NBA? He looks like him.

[DJay23]

Did Jacque Vaughn just suit up? Nice take by Tharpe.

[Imon Yourside]

Did Jacque Vaughn just suit up? Nice take by Tharpe.

Yup and Elijah playing too passive again.

[B14ckmon]

That was a pretty tight HS

[chiefsfan987]

Second half I'd like to see KU get tougher on the boards.

[DJay23]

Kilicli's hook looks like something Phog taught him in 1939.

[ArrowheadHawk]

FYP

:LOL:

[ArrowheadHawk]

That was a pretty tight HS

What is HS?

[NorthernWV]

:LOL:

You guys won by 5 points last game, is that incorrect?

[DJay23]

What is HS?

I was wondering that too. High Screen?

[ArrowheadHawk]

You guys won by 5 points last game, is that incorrect?
That is correct. What is incorrect is you thinking you had a chance in that game or this game.

[DJay23]

Well I don't think that's how that play was drawn up, but I'm not going to complain!

[chiefsfan987]

You guys won by 5 points last game, is that incorrect?

road game not = to playing in AFH

[Imon Yourside]

Well I don't think that's how that play was drawn up, but I'm not going to complain!

Tharpe has done incredibly well at end of game/half shots lately...Just like we drew it up.

[NorthernWV]

That is correct. What is incorrect is you thinking you had a chance in that game or this game.

Two posts before that I said we had no chance of winning.

[TribalElder]

Like the last time when they won by 5, huh?

lolz. I'm a mizzou fan but you just can't fuck with KU at the Phog. Not happening. They lose like 1 every 3 years there and they did that earlier this year. Check back around 2016.

I expect KU by 20+ when it's all over

[petegz28]

I see the Refs in efforts to avoid calling the wrong Jayhawk for a foult today, just won't call KU at all????

Ok, ok, I keed...I keed...just had to get the stick in there

[NorthernWV]

lolz. I'm a mizzou fan but you just can't **** with KU at the Phog. Not happening. They lose like 1 every 3 years there and they did that earlier this year. Check back around 2016.

Not just at home, we're 24-5 on the road the last three years. That's called raping the nation.

[Imon Yourside]

Way to hang in there with the sense of humor. :D

[TribalElder]

no shit MU cant

KU is a very good basketball team. They are going to stomp WV by 20.

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/336/7/a/lol_wut_by_crazyclara-d5mw2i5.png

[chiefsfan987]

That was a really long first half...

[Imon Yourside]

There are some FUGLY people behind the announcers....not helping Kansas much there.

[chiefsfan987]

If you miss a shot against KU and get the rebound you should always shoot a three after the rebound because it always goes in on the second attempt. :(

[NorthernWV]

KU is a very good basketball team. They are going to stomp WV by 20.


and Purdue and Gonzaga beat us by 30, this is the worst team we've had in over 10 years, KU is very good, im not sure about a top 5 team though, then again, no team has really looked elite this year, never seen a Mizzou fan defend Kansas so much...interesting...

[ArrowheadHawk]

Why does somebody always shoot lights out against us. Jesus!

[chiefsfan987]

WVU 60% from 3.....

[ArrowheadHawk]

WVU 60% from 3.....

:cuss:

[chiefsfan987]

Why does somebody always shoot lights out against us. Jesus!

Because KU goes through stretches of giving teams wide open shots after smothering defense. If you're that wide open you should make a lot of them.

[Imon Yourside]

WVU 60% from 3.....

and still down by 10, our 3 pt defense blows. ;)

[ArrowheadHawk]

Because KU goes through stretches of giving teams wide open shots after smothering defense. If you're that wide open you should make a lot of them.

Not 5/5 or 8/8 type shit though.

[Imon Yourside]

It's blowout city baby!!!!!!!!

Sorry WV fans, I still love me some Geno.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Welcome to Kansas!

[DJay23]

Withey needs 2 pts, 2 boards, and 3 blocks for a triple double.

[NorthernWV]

It's blowout city baby!!!!!!!!

Sorry WV fans, I still love me some Geno.

no worries, it was expected, and i still like this forum for giving geno so much love

[DJay23]

Has EJ missed a 3?

[GloryDayz]

LOL, sooner or later somebody's going to just lay-out Withby...

[Imon Yourside]

no worries, it was expected, and i still like this forum for giving geno so much love

it's well deserved, if only our FO and true fans could see it. Very frustrating.

[DJay23]

LOL, sooner or later somebody's going to just lay-out Withby...

Why?

[Imon Yourside]

LOL, sooner or later somebody's going to just lay-out Withby...

LMAO I can feel the hate coming from ya bro, it's just basketball man.

[GloryDayz]

Why?

Frustration.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Please name 5 teams better than Kansas.

[chiefsfan987]

BMac is on fire

[GloryDayz]

WV just so shaken.... I'm not sure they'll score again..

[DJay23]

Frustration.

He's been frustrating teams for 2 seasons, if someone was gonna do it you'd think it would have happened by now.

[chiefsfan987]

Huggs bitching about the officials down by 30 lol

[DJay23]

This is getting ridiculous.

[Imon Yourside]

Huggs bitching about the officials down by 30 lol

Little late for that Hugs.

[GloryDayz]

Huggs bitching about the officials down by 30 lol

Yeah, that is kind of funny when you think about it...

[Imon Yourside]

Slow down Perry, slow down.

[chiefsfan987]

Ellis fail X 2.

[GloryDayz]

LOL, the fat official can't bend over!

[Imon Yourside]

Traylor sucks on Offense and Defense...man he is disappointing.

[chiefsfan987]

Traylor sucks on Offense and Defense...man he is disappointing.

I think he'll be a beast in a couple years, but... he's got a lot of learning to do.

[TribalElder]

Nice sportsmanship by WV helping up the flying KU player

[Imon Yourside]

He felt sorry for Traylor methinks.

[Imon Yourside]

I think he'll be a beast in a couple years, but... he's got a lot of learning to do.

Ya he just looks totally lost and seems to always be at the wrong place at the wrong time... I guess Withey did as well his first year here.

[GloryDayz]

Nice sportsmanship by WV helping up the flying KU player

Maybe Self will let him come play in Kansas...

[NorthernWV]

Please name 5 teams better than Kansas.
Like I said, this year no team has really looked like they are definitely the best in college basketball. Miami, Indiana, Gonzaga, Duke, Michigan, Florida, Georgetown...you could argue they are better than Kansas (and Im sure you could argue Kansas is better than them)...Kansas is historically a great team...this year they are really good, but im not sold on them being elite...after the TCU and Oklahoma game Kansas fans were thinking they were going to be an 4 or 5 seed...I mean TCU is atrocious..if they can lose to them they can lose to anyone...if they are playing good though they can beat anyone...I guess I just want to see them be more consistent

[Imon Yourside]

Every team has an off game or two, ours just came as a three game streak.

A lot of those team you named either have a loss just as bad as TCU or play in a crap conference.

[DJay23]

11/13 with as many 3's as Ben shoots is hard to believe.

[Imon Yourside]

LOlz

[DJay23]

KU won 18 in a row. Then lost 3 in a row. Now are about to win 6 in a row. There aren't too many teams that have been more consistent this year.

[Mr. Laz]

feeling it


Lately Withey has been gaining confidence on his jump/set shot too.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Another triple dub.

[Imon Yourside]

ELIJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Laz]

Traylor sucks on Offense and Defense...man he is disappointing.
I think he might become really good.


I would bet on him long term before Ellis

[Imon Yourside]

I think he might become really good.


I would bet on him long term before Ellis

I would take that bet, I think Ellis will be a 20/10 guy if not next year the year after. I think the best we can hope for Traylor is a monster board guy.

[DJay23]

I love KU.

[DJay23]

Ellis wil be fine. I think he'll progress faster than Traylor. I think Traylor will be a 4 year player and end up like D-Block was his senior year.

[DJay23]

Oh yes, we can't miss the start to a Kentucky game, even when the suck assholes.

[chiefsfan987]

I'm getting switched over to Kentucky :( boo...... that first half was just way too long. Almost an hour and a half.

[TribalElder]

MU vs LSU is on 62

should be a close game unlike this one was

[Imon Yourside]

MU vs LSU is on 62

I wish you were playing Kensucky again so I could root for ya.

[GloryDayz]

Well that was a close one!

[GloryDayz]

MU vs LSU is on 62

should be a close game unlike this one was

Just not sure MU can pass-up the temptation to let the state of Missouri and its people down after a convincing KU win... Letting-down their state is just ingrained in the DNA of MU's leadership.

[ChiefMojo]

This game was one of those games that points to KU is ready to hit on all cylinders. You can tell they smell tourney time and another BIG XII regular season championship. Just happy to see the guards playing well, that is going to be the difference come tourney time.

[Mr. Laz]

I would take that bet, I think Ellis will be a 20/10 guy if not next year the year after. I think the best we can hope for Traylor is a monster board guy.
I'm not an Ellis hater but he plays so low, gets shots blocked all over the place.


It's going to be kinda difficult to change the way he is used to playing.


Traylor plays high and physical, a little polish and he could be really good.

[silver5liter]

My goodness that was a fun one to go to

[Chiefs Pantalones]

It's March. Let's go.

[KC_Connection]

I really hope WVU picks it up next year. For the sake of the conference, they need to be a lot better than what we've seen this year. Especially if there are going to be teams like TCU and Tech bringing it down.

As for KU, expected win. They got great guard play from EJ and Tharpe which they'll need when the meaningful games start. Also, it would be nice if McLemore was always that hot from the field.

I fully expect them to continue to struggle in most sports because the travel is not getting any easier and I think their recruiting is going to begin to suffer being out on that island.

[chiefsfan987]

Go Baylor

McLemore only seems to turn it on for the home games. Here's hoping he learns how to do it away by the time the tourney rolls around.

FTR, I believe we are going to have 2 very good post players in Traylor & Ellis and I think they'll compliment each other very well.

[Buehler445]

I think he might become really good.


I would bet on him long term before Ellis

Traylor is such a fucking physical specimen, it's just incredible. He doesn't have as quick of feet as Robinson, but at this point in his career Robinson was pretty stringy and just a big ball of out of control. Traylor, from a physical standpoint could be a man among boys with Hudy.

I think Ellis will be OK too. He's doing some things better. I'm quite certain he's working on his glaring deficiencies. He's already adjusting some stuff, he just has so far to go. I would point out that he played pretty fucking well in the ISU game in crunch time. The other thing he is doing, not just in the ISU game, but all of them is rebounding much much better.

WVU will likely be back or Thuggy is washed up. it shouldn't take too long to figure it out. Although WV was doing dumb shit all through the game, like driving into Withey to the tune of 10 fucking blocks. And that turk dude took Withey out of the lane, they got an easy one and then didn't go back there. Thuggy Bear may well be washed up.

I don't think TT and TCU will be THIS bad all the time. That TCU coach is pretty decent and both of them have kept their teams playing hard even though they blow ass. That's kind of impressive.

[KC_Connection]

Huggins is better than this.

Might help that the tournament games will be in KC to begin.

Very dumb shit. Kept attacking Withey all game instead of taking threes and they didn't play slow at all which led to a lot of KU run outs. Basically, they did the opposite of the blueprint to beat KU and got blown out as a result. I bet Tech at least plays incredibly slow on Monday.

Texas Tech has been this bad for the last two years now. And TCU...well it's that coach's first year there. Maybe he can fix it to something less than absolute garbage. I'm not that hopeful, though.

[Prison Bitch]

On the WVU board, they spent dozens of pages complaining about the refs. Esp with respect to Withey.

[KC_Connection]

Totally explains the 30 point loss.

[Mr. Plow]

I hate to say this.... come on Baylor.

56-54 Baylor with 3:31 left.

[Mr. Plow]

59-59 1:23 left.

[Mr. Plow]

61-59 KSU 54.5 left.

[Mr. Plow]

Baylor at the line.... 61-59 KSU 35.3

[Mr. Plow]

Tied up.

[Mr. Plow]

7 seconds left....

[KC_Connection]

Idiotic coaching all around. First Drew not going 2 for 1 and then Weber calling timeout with 7 seconds left allowing Baylor to set their D up. Both these coaches deserve to lose.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

LMAO

[Mr. Plow]

Jesus....kid threw that ball into the upper deck.

LMAO

[KC_Connection]

Laughable ending. Moron coaches. KSU gets the ball back because Drew apparently told them to toss it all the way down the floor.

[Mr. Plow]

lol @ Drew.

[KC_Connection]

Drew should be fired for what just happened in this game.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Baylor doesn't deserve to have a program.

[doomy3]

LMAO

Baylor really fucked that one up.

[DJJasonp]

Im not sure that Baylor could be any more retarded.

Drew is a horrible coach, with Weber not being much better

[KC_Connection]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a basketball coach blow a game as completely as Drew just did. If he goes 2 for 1, KSU doesn't even get the opportunity for a final shot like that in the first place. And if he doesn't tell his team to toss it all the way down the court for basically no reason instead of just going to OT, Baylor probably wins it anyway. A complete fuck up.

Well, it looks like the B12 conference race will come down to the final day now. That hasn't happened in a while. If KU has to beat the Drew underachievers next Saturday night to do it, though, somehow I'm not all that worried.

[Mr. Plow]

Seriously, that was one of the dumbest final minutes of basketball coaching I've ever seen.

[KC_Connection]

Scott Drew is trending on Twitter. And I'm guessing it's not for positive reasons:

[Mr. Plow]

Overrated Arizona basketball on ESPN.

Overrated Arizona basketball on ESPN.
Sounds like a UCLA win.

[Mr. Plow]

My thoughts as well. They are up 7.
