I was at the aztec game the other night when they played that church-league team from Encinitas (about 150 is the TOTAL student body).

And yes - the "college" is in a strip mall!


I think KU is going to dominate in the paint. The only thing I'm worried about is Thames and SDSU's guard play.

Our guards have to play good, pressure D on state's guards....or they'll be able to keep it close.


I root for the aztecs for my wife (a state grad).......but not Sunday.

If they should somehow win...... I wont be able to show my face, will have to deactivate my facebook, etc etc.

the egotistical hawk fan in me thinks the aztecs are nowhere near the Big 12 level of bb.

but I also know that on any given day.....

I also know that Fisher lets his kids do their thing.......which sometimes is great (versus Arizona).....and sometimes horrible (Syracuse last year).

Should be fun

Folks if Embiid is projected top three in the draft, which he is, then he'd be making a terrible decision to stay. I have written him off to the NBA long ago.


That said if he does, championship. Cliff, Oubre and Embiid are type-A dominators and you mix that with Ellis, a senior point guard and guys like Frankamp and Greene shooting better (they will) I mean....I don't know how you stop that.

I've rarely heard a player or coach suggest he might leave. Why anyone would believe Embiid would return, is truly mystifying.

I think he could figure out how to adjust to American culture and life pretty well if somebody threw 30+ million at him; or whatever a Top 3 pick gets.

He gone.

I'm not even going to entertain the notion that he's here next year.

And he could absolutely be the #1 pick this year. When you're drawing endless Hakeem comparisons, the sky is the limit.

One of my friends is close with one of his tutors. From what I've heard, Embiid is eager to earn money to support his family.

As much as I love watching Embiid on the floor, he'd be making a mistake to stay another year. It would be devastating if he had a Nerlens Noel type of injury if he stayed for his sophomore year.

I don’t think that, with modern medicine, it is injury that is the big risk for staying. Its giving a larger sample size for scouts to find flaws. Plenty of people have come back from serious injury.

I still don't expect him to stay. Smart is the ONLY player I can think of recently that stayed when he was projected top 5.

The last guy to pass up being the #1 pick in the draft (which Embiid is more likely to be with every game he plays) to stay in school was Tim Duncan 17 years ago. Very hard to see him staying.

Nerlens Noel is a stick. I kinda don't see that happening with Joel.


Uh you could easily easily make an argument for Marcus Smart going #1 last year.

You could, but there was never any one consensus choice there. Smart would have been 1 of 7-8 guys with an opportunity.

In any case, Smart's decision (like Duncan's) was a rare exception.

Lots of speculation. I think I'll enjoy KU basketball one season at a time.

Turn up boys. This is no walk over today.

Big game today.

KSU beating OSU definitely helped out.

Prime time on CBS. From the Phog. Days like yesterday continually remind me why I'm so glad to be born a Jayhawk. Even though I was born in Missouri.


We've played for the Big Enchilada 5x in the last 25 years. With almost no down years in that entire period. WOW.

Yes. I've never been so happy for a non-conference game.

I get to watch a winner today. I get to watch a team that lives up to it's billing.

I need this.

Yesterday, I took a rash of sh*t from charger fans for our epic collapse in Indy.

If the hawks let me down today, I'm going off the grid!

Missing easy shots early.

It's pretty hard for me to get into this game right now.

Dick in the butt foul on KU.

Then don't. Go gloat somewhere else.

SDSU is much tougher than KU. Wiggins is going to have to step up to win this game. Embiid too.

You fall too far behind a very good defensive team like this that slows the game down and it's going to be hard to come back.

We always go up and then give back the lead right after halftime or right before.

Another dick in the butt foul

That was clearly dick in the butt.

How is that not a goaltend?

There was the makeup call

Holy shit.

Awful, awful shooting.

Another hard game to watch. Conference play coming up. They need to get it together real soon.

We need a point guard.

SDSU is a really good team, but this level of futility offensively is incredible.

6 for 29. Hard to recall a team in the Self era shooting that poorly over a half.

Hopefully stats will even out and some shots will drop in the second half.

Were there many dicks in butts?

Jesse Newell ‏@jessenewell 1m
In Self's 372 games at KU, the worst eFG% is 32% (TCU last year). KU's eFG% was 24.1% in 1st half today. #KUbball

It's as I thought. We're witnessing the worst shooting game in the Self era. By far.

Ugh. Just what I need to round out my weekend.

Ugh.

I'd forgotten about that TCU game.

That game was easy to forget.

This will be one of tgose forgetable games as well. Sdsu came to play.

I really like Gottlieb as an analyst. His radio show is the shits though.

Home losses are tougher to forget though.

Clarkson would have been a perfect fit.

Monster Jam

It's going to be even harder to come back against a slow defensive team if you can't shoot better than 25% from the field. This looks like a loss right now, a rare one at AFH.

Yeah, this is painful to watch. Just a putrid offensive showing.

Great performance thus far. LMAO

This isnt a very good basketball team. Gonna be a llllooonnnngggg season.

Dumb.

They're shooting even worse than the first half somehow. Crazy.

Crowd has been great. Other than that. Very chiefsesque.

Smart

Nope, still dumb.

Old man Fisher's boys working over the hawks.

lol i've never seen a KU team shoot so poorly.

Yep still smart.

What's your nickname again on these boards?

What was the FG% against TCU last year?

Please don't be stupid.

Much better than this. 30%.

I should be more specific... not just this game... this TEAM. The whole season. They just cannot make shots if it isn't a layup.

Plenty of time for a comeback

29% against TCU.

Your_Mom.

That was a glimpse of Hawk ball. Keep doing that.

Piss off, you fairweather dumbass.

I wouldn't say he's a fairweather fan, he's just a doom-and-gloomer.

Yeah, he's the Jayhawk version of pete. Nice guy, but just gives up entirely too easily.

Painful watching them get every board.

How about getting some damn rebound fellas

SDSU isn't shooting much better.....38% to 27%.

Perry is too small and too soft for a team like this.

Rebounds are killing us right now.

Horrible shot man.

Damn, that would have been huge.

Tharpe of old.

Freaking box out

So ****ing weak. JFC.

Crap we're just playing like true freshman

Nice 3 by Mason.

MOAR!

LMAO at that release.

Hack a Spencer?
