Yeah...I like the red unis with blue shoes.

So refreshing watching KU basketball. :-)

I like the red unis at home.

Why do they always start slow in these games?

Meh...it's nothing uncommon. It's all part of winning our 9th straight BIGXII title. :)

Perry Ellis looks awesome!

Ellis is smooth

Perry Ellis is looooooooooong.

Ellis may only be here one year.

Yup

So do you think Ellis may get the start on Friday?

Ellis looks really really good

If awesomeness is any kind of indicator, Yes.

Is this on TV anywhere?

NM Found it.

Damn y'all aren't kidding. Ellis looks good.

depends..self likes to **** with people

he's probably trying to fire him up a bit

Washburn is pretty good. They've got some real (MIAA) talent. But I think they're mostly upperclassmen and pretty smart.

I may have to go out and catch one of their home games.

We might as well go ahead and win it all while we have him then.

McLemore is pretty good also.

Mclemore heating up.

when it all clicks for mclemore, he is going to be a freak....Rush II

That's the plan stan.

I get the feeling Ellis will be at KU for at least two years.

another

Now twice as hot!

McLemore can't let Ellis be the star. I love it.

Mclemore has better handles than Brush, but still needs some work.

Ben is so smooth it's frightening.

rooks carrying

So, when KY gets back...that means no more JW right?

Possibly, but Self prefers experience.

anrio cut his hair. good

Adams got his haircut.

Praise Jesus.

Dont worry......CoMo is here.

This is where they start to dominate!

Get ready for the Traylor show in the 2nd half.

WTH Withey? He can't hold on to anything tonight.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PPKsx4_dXAg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This team is going to be ridiculous as the season goes on...

I sure hope so.

wtf withey, what makes you think you can spot up jump

Random question: Are Selby or Xavier still in the NBA?

both

selby is supposed to play a lot bigger role with the grizz and xavier is a solid bench player

Cool.

Just hadn't heard much about them since they left and they were suppose to be big deals...

selby tore up summer league

Is that like Baldwin tearing up training camp?

still remains to be seen but its a little more exciting than that, he was named co-mvp of summer league with damien lillard who is a complete stud

I'm kind of impressed with Washburn...

They aren't a bad team.

This is their Super Bowl.

Think they could beat Tech or TCU? because I don't think Tech would beat them if they were playing them tonight.

Wow, what a pass by McLemore

They could compete. Not sure they'd win 10 out of 10, but they'd compete.

In other news, I think a lot of teams are going to try to come in and slog it up.... Boo Big 10 ball.

Ugly ass 2nd half, but at least we won't be suffering from overconfidence.

umm ... isn't that was Bill Self plays?

No. He tries to run almost every play and moves the ball constantly.

If you think that focusing on big men is Big 10 ball, you need to watch a Big 10 game. Michigan, Michigan State (sometimes), and OSU when they have talent, not withstanding.

Oh. And Self doesn't have his player hack the **** out of everybody and prevent any offensive movement.

Mid season form. LMAO

Not until after he destroys all outside ability from our guards.

Surprisingly even-keeled group for a night when the MIAA competes, despite horrendous shooting.

Shrug.

It's preseason.

And there are a bunch of new faces.

Bill really enjoys recruiting balding guys or ones with receding hair lines.

Perhaps most KU fans have come to the realization that Bill Self coached teams are generally going to be just fine come spring.

Bingo.

We've matured... well, I'm sure there's some crazy at the slant... :shrug:

ROFL

Exactly.

Tonight's game is nothing out of the norm.

Bill plays with the lineups and works on set plays. The D2 schools play on the biggest stage they will the whole season. Pretty typical game.

Yup. I used to worry every damn season until it sunk in.....Self builds the team to peak in Jan/Feb/Mar instead of Nov/Dec. It generally takes that long for all the new guys to finally realize they are going to have to fully commit to defense if they want to play.

So what you're trying to say is Bill Self recruited you too?

LMAO

In Bill we trust. Lots of new faces and even old faces with new roles/expectations. This team probably won't resemble anything like a well oiled machine until at least January. Washburn has been a very good D2 program for a long, long time. They start 4 seniors and 1 junior. KU turned it over a lot and missed many shots (including FTs). All of those factors kept this from being a blowout. I'm not too worried.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH AND PAY ME MY MONEY! :p

Quit offering me your e-tongue, queer.

That was horrible. One of the worst KU games I've ever been to. Good thing it didn't mean anything right now (although they might want to gain some discipline by next week).

First game is Friday.

Heard the color guys tonight mention SEMO had a couple of all conference players.

But MSU is next week, that's the first game that they'll actually have to really give a full effort to win.

Well, sure.

But discipline regardless of the competition is a big component.

How has MSU looked thus far? I doubt they're in March form.

Tonight was nothing more than a scrimmage for KU, and it was Washburn's chance for some spotlight time. Yeah, KU looked a little rough, not as good as they did last week. I fully expect Bill will run their asses of before Friday night.

Holler at lewdog.

He's good people.

Honestly this gm does not bother me and I dont know why. They have the tools and will be fine. I dont quite understand all the ppl freaking out about withey on the other boards. He looks like last year. Good on D...limited on O. Didnt quite understand why ppl thought hed score more than 11 or 12 a gm
