Giles did have more upside do to his athletic ability but he did nothing but either oop it or get into foul trouble.

YOU DAMN RIGHT THEY WOULD BE WINNING BY 50!!!!!!!!

Still pretty damn ok for only playing ball for 6 years.

I disagree.

But, either way...

Does it matter?

Shockers lost tonight to Drake.

Christ, give it a rest.

Perhaps you should start rooting for that team that wears bundle of sticks-blue if you love Roy so much.

The point is, is that you dont recruit a guy that has been playing for only 2 years to play against such a high level of competition just because he's a big body.

UNC is my 2nd favorite team :)

Nothing's wrong with it, unless we forget who our best players are like we did in the last several minutes of the A&M game.

I'm not hatin' on anyone, I just think we are at our best when we let our guards penetrate and don't try to artificially force things through the post when we don't have a distinct matchup advantage.

you're completely and utterly clueless

Marquette down to DePaul 72-67 @ half.

that explains alot

It really does.

Nevermind.......... that is the final.

:rolleyes:

What is this "second favorite" team you speak of? I know not of such things.

dang ........ look at this lineup we got now


look like a bunch of smurfs running around out there. LMAO

Helps our RPI a little.

Damn I would love to see the Hawks hold them to under 50.

Do you understand defensive fundamentals at all?

CU has two more points than Maric did last night.

ROFL


How friggin lost does Kleinman look out there!

not in the least

Saul quit using those big technical words; Roy would never use them. Gosh Darn it to heck.

morningstar has some potiential imo


could be a decent backup shooting guard

75-46 KU Final

Yep, that's why you have two of them. Without him we only have Kaun. Self needs to recruit some bigs.

How? Kaun sucks, plain and simple. Didnt have any talent coming in, wont have any coming out.

I've just never known many truly hardcore college basketball fans that watch whatever is on, like I do NFL, college football, and even hockey fans. Outside of Kansas, I see what's on Sportscenter and I watch the high profile games... but even after watching A&M 3 times or UNC a few times, it's not like I know the ins and outs or what they'll do in the tournament. I'm sure most fans aren't oblivious to what's going on outside of their own team, but I've known many more people that would watch 3 random NFL games in a day or any hockey they can get...

On that note, I watch teams like Oklahoma State a few times or Kentucky against Florida and wonder WTF they are doing in the top 25, but every year more of those teams make it further into the tournament.

I wonder how good that Cole Aldrich kid is?

Really glad to see after the A&M game the guys stomping on the throats when they get up; keep the pressure on and take away all hope from these lesser teams.

*Please don't jinx this.....

I don't see KU losing another game this season.

Dude, as it's already been stated, Roy is gone; KU plays defense now. Kaun is no exception. That's why you can't take him out of the lineup.

At OU could be a trap game.

I was going to say that but didn't want to jinx it any more than I already have!

They're playing well right now. No question. And probably shouldn't lose another one.

Blow U is hard to figure out this year. New coach will do that. They haven't won a single true road game this year.

KU needs a big man that can score if theyre gonna do anything.

Yeah your right all the teams that win the title now have dominant scoring big men.

:rolleyes:

Self should have recruited Greg Oden, then.

Saul you going to be out and about Mon. for the KU/KSU game? I think I will be watching at BWW.

I'm going to the game.

Noah, May, I can't think back much further hehe

nlm

Sean May was 6'9.

Isn't "Ju Ju" 6'9?

From what I recall a couple seasons ago, Bill Self didn't do much in the tournament when he did have an All-American PF who could score with ease.

You don't think Roy played defense?

Both of those guys are in the same mold as a Kaun, Jackson, or Arthur; they are all more of a swing man player.

Whos Ju Ju?

We don't need the RPI..........We're KANSAS

You can't blame Simien for that game; he was about the only player that busted his ass against Bucknell.

Yeah but about 50 million times more talented. Im not talking so much about height, because May played the 5 man. Kaun doesnt have any talent, and I dont understand why people here stick up for the guy, he sucks. People say he plays defense, well good for him anyone of KU's squad other than Kaun can play defense too.

Wow you are officially not allowed to talk about KU ever again. You are truely a superfan.


:rolleyes:

WTF is that Wright, and what the **** is he wearing?

Kaun is still prolly our best all-around big man

if he can just develop some post moves he should be a viable guy


jackson has been coming on strong lately though

Whatever n00b.

Haha, youre the first person I've ever called a n00b.

I guess you're talking about strictly height, because other than that Kaun is notour best big man. That's clearly visable. I havent seen so many missed layups from a KU bigman since Chenoworthless, or Ostertag.

Good job, way to cover for your complete and total stupidity. You are the type of "fan" that give KU fans a bad image.

And what type of fan is that?

Cole Aldrich. ~nods~

hhahah.... this must have fallen off front page... so I created my own thread. heh.


PWNEd.

That was a pasting ..........

I don't know about Roy. I know his teams didn't...and still don't.

That's not true at all. The only difference is that when you score quick like they do you give the opposition more possesions. Having that said you can still play defense and stop teams from scoring.

Right Herm?

Self needs to recruit a 3. We aren't going to have a 3 next year if Rush goes pro unless Rodrick Stewart looks to get major playing time. I don't think Rush will go pro, but we only have one 3 as it is, so might as well start looking.

No one has coughed up any info about Cole Aldritch. What's the skinny on this guy?

The reason KU fans are pissed off about Kaun is that if he were able to hit 50% more of his shots, KU would rarely lose. Self insists on getting the ball inside to him, which is fine, but he misses shots and teams just kinda sit back and don't allow him to then dish it back out.

He does play good D and sets great screens.

I think he could be a GREAT shooting guard. Even when the guy comes in off the bench stone cold, he still makes shots. The guy needs some time to develop, but I think he could be a real threat from the outside next year to take some of the pressure off of Collins.

WOW! Sorry I missed it.

We will still have Robinson and Chalmers next season.

Robinson isn't that great of a shooter. Chalmers is decent.

KU: No. 7 in FG% defense (38.2)
UNC: No. 29 in FG% defense (40)

KU: No. 29 in scoring defense (61.3)
UNC: Not in top 50 (67)

KU: No. 15 in FG% offense (48.9)
UNC: No. 5 in FG % offense (50.8)

KU: No. 21 in scoring offense (78.4)
UNC: No. 2 in scoring offense (88.1)

KU: 22-4
UNC: 22-4

Robinson isn't a bad shooter. He just doesn't have to shoot. Chalmers is slowly slipping into that same role. Their defensive presence is what matters.

He's not bad, but he's shooting in the 30% range from both 2 and 3. That's not terrible, but it's not that great, either. Certainly not what you'd like out of a pure shooting role. But, obviously, what they're doing now is working. And no one knows what the make up of the team will be next year, so who knows if a shooter would even be necessary.

I just think Morningstar has the potential to be that guy (he hasn't really shown potential as anything but that guy).

Ya that Roi blows everyone out by 50, they lost to va tech at home. Cole Aldrich is a BIG man, 7-0 who averages 29 a game in Minnesota HS and averaged 25 against AAU competition. Has great post moves, think Collison but taller. Knock against him is that he is rather slow and plodding. C'mon CoMo chief you don't know JU JU is JW? and Carolwhina is your 2nd favorite team? your Jayhawk license is about to be revoked, as roi can suck it.

Was a well played game by the Hawks. I didnt see anything but score out of Columbia. Was game as close as the score indicated?
