Rebound from what?

[TLO]

Rebound from what?

I Q'd myself.

[Fritz88]

Rebound from the 4 losses.

[Ceej]

Rebound from the 4 losses.

I think they've just done fine rebounding from the four losses - especially going 3-0 thus far in conference play.

[Buehler445]

Rebound from what?

From the huge win at Hilton Tragic. Duh.

[Silock]

Rebound from the 4 losses.

:hmmm:

We are 3-0 in conference with two big road wins.

[Pablo]

Yeah, there's no rebounding.

Just win this and set up the path for ten straight.

[Al Czervik]

I like our chances if we can shutdown Markel Brown and limit Smart....
And not let that wannabe Keaton Paige Forte hit threes.....

[Pablo]

I'm pretty amped about today's game and then a follow up with Big Monday at home. Really should be a couple of fun games. I expect Okie State to give us our toughest game of the year.

That said, Kansas by 2.

ROCK CHALK MOTHERBITCHES!

[TribalElder]

Almost time

[Reerun_KC]

Rebound from the 4 losses.

Failure

[Mr. Laz]

KU perimeter D is going to be a big key today.

[Braincase]

Meanwhile, Oklahoma is giving Baylor all they can handle at Baylor.

[Buehler445]

Meanwhile, Oklahoma is giving Baylor all they can handle at Baylor.

In a notably offense-free game.

In other news, does BU run that god awful 1-3-1 all the time, or are they just doing it today? I have no idea why OU isn't attacking the short corner.

[TLO]

Annnnd I get called into work. Ban work. Fuck work. Guess I'll catch the first half on the radio before I have to go in. :(

[Buehler445]

Annnnd I get called into work. Ban work. Fuck work. Guess I'll catch the first half on the radio before I have to go in. :(

DVR it and shut out the outside world. This one will be worth watching.

It's on CBS. I think CBS is showing it online too, though. Maybe try that?

KCTV 5 for me (CBS)

Got it. Thanks. Was looking in the sports channels for some reason and not the locals

[texaschiefsfan]

Let's go KU!!

[texaschiefsfan]

OU up one at Baylor.

[chiefswillriseup]

Huge game. Let's get it done boys

[texaschiefsfan]

Great finish coming at Baylor with 9 seconds left.

[Mr. Laz]

WTF was that?


was that Arnold Schwarzenegger in a wig playing ping-pong for that commercial?

[texaschiefsfan]

Ugly TO by Tharpe.

[texaschiefsfan]

OU wins by two at Baylor.

[Mr. Laz]

Tharpe off to a rough start

TO on offense
Mistake on Defense
last guy to touch the ball out of bounds on that last play

[Mr. Laz]

Ellis looking good

[texaschiefsfan]

Ellis looking good early.

[Mr. Laz]

refs just looking for any excuse to call a foul on embiid

[texaschiefsfan]

refs just looking for any excuse to call a foul on embiid

No doubt.

[TribalElder]

Too many fouls being called. That hand check foul thing is horseshit

[texaschiefsfan]

Nice shot by Tharpe.

[texaschiefsfan]

2 fouls on Williams and Nash.

[Mr. Laz]

love Selden, so much potential

when he gets it together he is going to be a complete beast

[Mr. Laz]

I think i go with Black for awhile now.

Let him use his power down low after the fouls

Keep Embiid off the ref's radar too

[texaschiefsfan]

Tharpe with a bomb!

[Mr. Laz]

wow ... Tharpe coming back strong with the 3

[texaschiefsfan]

Nice D by Mason.

[Ceej]

The refs have been pretty nice to KU thus far.

[texaschiefsfan]

Traylor and one.

[Mr. Laz]

TRAYLOR!!

[TribalElder]

The refs are KU alums

FYP

[Pablo]

Well, they better have a deeeeep bench if it keeps going like this.

[texaschiefsfan]

Black with a nice move.

[texaschiefsfan]

Bad TO leads to Forte three.

[Mr. Laz]

Nice post move by Black

[Pablo]

FYPMU fan tuning in to watch a real basketball team?

[Ceej]

FYP

Not funny.

[TribalElder]

MU fan tuning in to watch a real basketball team?

I watch the beaks from time to time. Nothing wrong with that :)

[texaschiefsfan]

Mason with a runner.

[Mr. Laz]

Mason with a nice floater

[texaschiefsfan]

Black dunks it.

[Mr. Laz]

Both Selden and Wiggins tend to lose the handle on some drives.

have to get stronger with the ball

[texaschiefsfan]

Wiggins bomb!

[Ceej]

Smart trying to flop. LMAO

[texaschiefsfan]

KU up ten after 9-0 run.

[Mr. Laz]

Black's power is too much for them :clap:

[Pablo]

Interior is nasty today.

[texaschiefsfan]

OK State are just going to bomb all day. Air ball on the last one.

[Ceej]

Another attempt by Smart.

[texaschiefsfan]

Black with a monster dunk!!!

[Mr. Laz]

fight,fight,fight PBJ

[Ceej]

What's Markel Brown doing?

[texaschiefsfan]

Being a bitch.

[texaschiefsfan]

Are they looking for Ts during this TO?

[Ceej]

lol wut? Double technicals?

[Mr. Laz]

why are they calling anything on Traylor?

He just swatted the ball as the whistle was being blown.

bullshit

[Mr. Laz]

Traylor didn't do a dam thing

[texaschiefsfan]

They probably just felt like they had to call something on both teams since they all met at halfcourt like that.

[Ceej]

Here comes the super tight officiating now.

[texaschiefsfan]

Okay, get ready to hear whistles for the rest of the game. This game won't be over before 6:00 tonight.

[Ceej]

Getting sick of that fucking flopping.

[Mr. Laz]

**** these refs and their bullshit calls

just making shit up now

[KCFalcon59]

Smart is a bitch with that flopping shit.

[texaschiefsfan]

Greene for three!

[texaschiefsfan]

3 fouls on Nash.

[chiefswillriseup]

T him up

[texaschiefsfan]

Somebody got T'd up.

[Ceej]

Bunch of fucking punks man.

[Ceej]

Looks like we've found a legit rival now.

[Mr. Laz]

refs more worried about controlling things than they are just calling what they see

[Pablo]

Just no fist fights today please.

[texaschiefsfan]

Selden stepped over him to help up his teammate.

[texaschiefsfan]

BS. that was a foul.

[Mr. Laz]

How can that not be a foul?

jump ball my ass

[texaschiefsfan]

Ellis misses two freebies.

[texaschiefsfan]

Forte with another bomb.

[texaschiefsfan]

Lob!

[chiefswillriseup]

My god embiid

[Ceej]

Ahhhh, Smart got dunked on.

[texaschiefsfan]

Selden for three!

[texaschiefsfan]

Embiid with a huge block!

[texaschiefsfan]

Jayhawks are rolling right now. Beautiful game.

[Pablo]

Haha.

Straight rape. Love it.

[Ceej]

I hope this team continues to rebound from their four losses.

[texaschiefsfan]

KU up 47-30 at half.

[Pablo]

I hope this team continues to rebound from their four losses.

LMAO

Poor guy.

[texaschiefsfan]

The roof would have come off if Selden hits that three at the buzzer.

[Pants]

I hope this team continues to rebound from their four losses.

$$$

[Malcor]

We'll need a gif of Embiid posterizing Smart...

[Bearcat]

I hope this team continues to rebound from their four losses.

It's going to be a long conference season.

[Ceej]

It's going to be a long conference season.

Especially since this team can't guard the three. :(

[Pants]

Especially since this team can't guard the three. :(

Will Forte has been shooting wide open threes all day.

Fire Bill Self.

[texaschiefsfan]

Well, he was wide open because he sets up six feet behind the line.

[Ceej]

Will Forte has been shooting wide open threes all day.

Fire Bill Self.

They need to extend their perimeter defense to half court; for sure.

[Pants]

They need to extend their perimeter defense to half court; for sure.

Unacceptable perimeter D.

[Ceej]

Unacceptable perimeter D.

Call timeout. Make them run.

[texaschiefsfan]

Shot clock violation. Second one of the game. KU's D is looking good.

[Bearcat]

They need to extend their perimeter defense to half court; for sure.

They should keep Embiid out there all the time and put him on Forte.

[texaschiefsfan]

Lob to Ellis!

[texaschiefsfan]

Statie bombing away.

[texaschiefsfan]

If KU wasn't so careless with the ball they would roll everyone.

[KC_Connection]

Selden's head isn't in this game at all. 3 turnovers in the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half.

[O.city]

Wiggins isn't playing hard at all. Standing around too much

[texaschiefsfan]

Ellis was fouled.

[Ceej]

Nash is such a whiny CHODE.

[Mr. Plow]

Hai guyz!

[KC_Connection]

Nash is so rattled by Embiid. Hilarious.

[texaschiefsfan]

KU up 12 at the under 16 TO.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Nash is a tool.

[Pants]

Nash is such a whiny CHODE.

You're the Joel Embiid of using the word "chode". Masterful.

[O.city]

After that first half, little upsetting to only be up 12.

Can't play lackadaisical here

[Pants]

Wait, WTF? T on Embiid?

[texaschiefsfan]

WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KC_Connection]

Another joke technical on Embiid.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Called that on Embiid, bullshit

[Mr. Laz]

How in the fuck did the refs find a way to call a foul on KU after all that?


complete bullshit

[Ceej]

Nash doesn't get a T for blatantly yelling at officials?

[texaschiefsfan]

Only an eight point game.

[KC_Connection]

After that first half, little upsetting to only be up 12.

Can't play lackadaisical here
Not surprising that they haven't maintained the same level of intensity with a big lead.

[O.city]

Embiid gotta stop that shit

[KC_Connection]

Nash doesn't get a T for blatantly yelling at officials?
T's only go to the big man.

[Pants]

Fucking shit job of broadcasting by CBS.

Please fucking tell us what happened.

[Ceej]

Wiggins needs to fall on the floor like Smart does.

[texaschiefsfan]

Jayhawks being very Chief-like right now.

[Silock]

Embiid didn't do shit to deserve that T.

[KC_Connection]

Take Selden off the court, his head isn't in the game at all.

[O.city]

Sorry, but wiggins is soft

[O.city]

Embiid can't hit a guy in te face like that

[KC_Connection]

Sorry, but wiggins is soft
Nonsense. He's played his best games in the toughest situations.

[texaschiefsfan]

KU stinking it up.

[KC_Connection]

Embiid can't hit a guy in te face like that
Reflex action to being hit in the face.

[texaschiefsfan]

Props to State on the comeback.

[O.city]

Nonsense. He's played his best games in the toughest situations.

He can't get to the basket

[texaschiefsfan]

All they do is jack threes.

[KC_Connection]

KU's played this 2nd half like it ended after the first. No intensity.

[Pants]

Markel Brown circa 2013.

[KC_Connection]

He can't get to the basket
Sure he can.

[Bowser]

KU's played this 2nd half like it ended after the first. No intensity.

It's usually vice-versa with Self's teams.

[O.city]

Shit like that is why wiggins is soft. Know the scouting report.

He's played like absolute shit today on both ends

[KC_Connection]

All they do is jack threes.
That are open, yeah.

[Al Czervik]

KU's played this 2nd half like it ended after the first. No intensity.

This....big time...no defensive intensity

[O.city]

Sure he can.

When he's guarded? Haven't seen it lately

[KC_Connection]

Shit like that is why wiggins is soft. Know the scouting report.

He's played like absolute shit today on both ends
True, that three was on him.

[KC_Connection]

When he's guarded? Haven't seen it lately
Markel Brown for most of the first half. Guy couldn't get a clean shot off.

[Ceej]

Time to make an appearance, Andrew.

[O.city]

Wiggins seems to just blend when he doesn't get going early

[Al Czervik]

Turnovers by Selden and soft D from AW pretty much sums up this half

[KC_Connection]

Wiggins seems to just blend when he doesn't get going early
So many examples to the contrary, shouldn't have to bring them up here.

[O.city]

Forte is a shooter. That's it.

Run the guy off the line and make him out it on te floor

[O.city]

So many examples to the contrary, shouldn't have to bring them up here.

Which are?

Other than Florida, I don't remember many

[Pants]

Twice as many shots taken by OSU in the 2nd half. Wow...

[Ceej]

Whew, got lucky there.

[KC_Connection]

Which are?

Other than Florida, I don't remember many
Duke? He's played better in the 2nd half than the first this year. In almost all his games.

[texaschiefsfan]

Time to put this one away.

[KC_Connection]

Embiid has such a huge effect on these games. I'm not even sure that was a travel.

[Silock]

Smart - no travel, Embiid - travel? Ridiculous. Oh well. Lock down, 'Hawks. Put this one away.

[O.city]

Duke? He's played better in the 2nd half than the first this year. In almost all his games.

For being as talented as he is, he just plays to lax at times

[KC_Connection]

For being as talented as he is, he just plays to lax at times
I can agree with that.

[KC_Connection]

Mason out of control there. Never thought I'd so badly want Tharpe with the ball in his hands late.

[O.city]

I can agree with that.

Surprisingly, they've been better with him on the bench today

[O.city]

Who got t'd?

[KC_Connection]

They just called a technical on Markel Brown. CBS didn't really make that clear, unsurprisingly.

[Al Czervik]

Don't remember OKie Light being such soggy Gina's.....

[Al Czervik]

Markel....here is a big bag of dicks for you....

[O.city]

Gottlieb is absolutely losing his shit on twitter right now

[ArrowheadHawk]

Gottlieb is absolutely losing his shit on twitter right now

Examples please.

[Ceej]

Gottlieb is absolutely losing his shit on twitter right now

He's coming off as a whiny pussy.

[KC_Connection]

I don't think that should have been a T.

[O.city]

@GottliebShow: John Higgins is an ego maniac who is bad for college basketball - called a T after calling a foul on Brown,who was fouled

[O.city]

I don't think that should have been a T.

I think that t had been coming for a while.

[Bearcat]

Examples please.

https://twitter.com/GottliebShow

[O.city]

I'm pretty sure their pg just threw a punch

[KC_Connection]

These refs don't seem to know what is going on or what call to make.

[Mr. Laz]

OSU kicked at a KU player who was laying on the floor

[KC_Connection]

A double foul? What a copout.

[O.city]

Rewind and watch ku bringing it down the floor. Dude thre a punch

[Mr. Laz]

another double foul because the refs suck

[Mr. Laz]

Tharpe is being so much more effective on offense

[Imon Yourside]

Ummmm....traveling? 5 steps is ok?

[KC_Connection]

How hard is it to stay on Forte?

[O.city]

Jesus he walked down te lane

[Silock]

Travel

[Silock]

FLOPPER

[Bearcat]

Was there even contact? LMAO

[KC_Connection]

Smart faked it. Shouldn't have been a foul. If they call a flagrant there, it could completely change this game.

[O.city]

Good lord

[texaschiefsfan]

Thanks to Selden with all of his turnovers, this game is not over.

[Ceej]

Smart is so un-likable.

[KC_Connection]

Smart is so un-likable.
He's one of my favorites in the NCAA.

[O.city]

One if the worst officiated games I've seen

[KC_Connection]

Is Greg Anthony blind?

[007]

nice flop.

[Ceej]

He's one of my favorites in the NCAA.

Pass.

Helluva ball player.

Never liked the flopping. I blame Duke.

[O.city]

As bad as the officiating ha been, ku has played that bad in the 2nd

[KC_Connection]

Pass.

Helluva ball player.

Never liked the flopping. I blame Duke.
Anything to help your team.

[KCTitus]

When did Marcus Smart become a flopping bitch? He's been doing this the entire game.

[Ceej]

Anything to help your team.

Agree to disagree.

[Imon Yourside]

They should have looked at that replay and called Smart for the flop.

[KC_Connection]

Can Selden maybe not turn the ball over on this possession? We might actually win that way.

[O.city]

This team is gonna ed up losing a game , maybe today, because they have no killer instinct

[texaschiefsfan]

KU's gotta be smart here. No TO's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[O.city]

Trying to choke it away

[KC_Connection]

Need Tharpe to get the ball at the end, not Mason.

[texaschiefsfan]

This looks like Michigan last year.

[KC_Connection]

Unbelievable. You can't give up that shot. And now Mason is up again...this could be a choke.

[Ceej]

WOW!

[KC_Connection]

Wow, Mason made up for it with the block. Crazy game.

[O.city]

Good lord got lucky there

[ArrowheadHawk]

Crazy game. Good teaching moment about never letting up.

[Pablo]

That was a lot closer than I needed.

Fucking heart attack.

[O.city]

Wiggins is gonna have to play better than that.

But that's a big win. 2 game lead in the conference

[POND_OF_RED]

First time I think I've ever seen a charge and blocking foul called on the same play. That was pretty funny. Only in AFH...

[Al Czervik]

Really disappointed in Wiggins and Ellis....Non factors in the game. And it wasn't due to foul trouble......

Still...win is a win...especially against the OKIE Floppers

[texaschiefsfan]

Nice win for KU. I would like to see them play two good halves Monday night though.

[Ceej]

First time I think I've ever seen a charge and blocking foul called on the same play. That was pretty funny. Only in AFH...

Great input. Thanks for sharing.

[Chiefspants]

WHAT A FREAKING GAME!! Unlike last year, we matched OSU's intensity every step of the way. Rock chalk.

[KC_Connection]

Should have been a hell of a lot easier than that considering they have a 8 point lead with 1:30 left (and 17 at half), but at least they got it done. Tharpe clearly needs to be the guy with the ball in his hands at the end of the game going forward, though. Been making clutch plays and FTs all year.

As impactful as Embiid was in this game, Wiggins was that poor. He played some good defense in the first half, but I think the big lead took him mentally out of the game and he never got back into it. We'll see how he rebounds on Monday from this.

[KC_Connection]

Great input. Thanks for sharing.
It should have been a block (and would normally have been considering it is AFH). Guy was moving/leaning into Traylor. The double foul was a copout.

[Ceej]

I will eat six helpings of crow in re: Tharpe.

Dude has been unreal.

[Pants]

Does anyone know what Embiid was T'ed up for?

[Ceej]

It should have been a block (and would normally have been considering it is AFH). Guy was moving/leaning into Traylor. The double foul was a copout.

We will disagree again, lol. I thought Traylor was out of control and bowled over him.

[KC_Connection]

I actually don't think Wiggins has played a good home game yet. He seems to only get jacked up by the road atmospheres. I suppose that isn't exactly a bad thing, but you'd like to see a more consistent level of intensity.

[KC_Connection]

We will disagree again, lol. I thought Traylor was out of control and bowled over him.
He was out of control, but the guy moved right in under him as he was going up.

[KC_Connection]

Does anyone know what Embiid was T'ed up for?
Reflex action to getting hit. Threw his arms up without intent. Hit Nash (I believe) in the face.

[POND_OF_RED]

It should have been a block (and would normally have been considering it is AFH). Guy was moving/leaning into Traylor. The double foul was a copout.

It really could have gone both ways just didn't know they could actually call a double foul on a situation like that. I still wonder if you actually can. Didn't affect the outcome either way IMO.

[Ceej]

Kansas became the first school to win 3 straight regular season games vs ranked opponents since Louisville in 09.

[Pants]

Reflex action to getting hit. Threw his arms up without intent. Hit Nash (I believe) in the face.

Oh.

LOL

[Mr. Laz]

It's like the refs were so afraid to make a call that they just called double fouls or double T's to avoid making a decision.

[Silock]

We will disagree again, lol. I thought Traylor was out of control and bowled over him.

He was still stepping into position when Traylor went up. By rule, that's a block. It's when the offense starts upward motion, not when contact occurs.

[Silock]

He's one of my favorites in the NCAA.

No, fuck that guy and anyone defending him.

Poor sportsmanship is no way to play the game. He's trying to cheat the refs to get an advantage. He refuses to play the game straight up.

[Ceej]

He was still stepping into position when Traylor went up. By rule, that's a block. It's when the offense starts upward motion, not when contact occurs.

I should have been more clear. By bowled over I felt that Jamari dropped his shoulder and basically ran over Smart.
