***OFFICIAL: No. 8/9 Kansas @ Colorado***
 

About to tip-off in Boulder...

Coors Event Center isn't even close to being half full.

National TV?

Nope. ESPN+ (Jayhawk Network).

well, keep me updated

The national anthem was nice :)

4-3 KU, 15:59

10-3 KU, 13:51

KU- Shady with four points off the bench
--Wright with a nice dunk
--Good defense

CU- Missed a 50-foot heave after the ball was knocked into the backcourt and the shot clock was running down.

I saw that. It's tremendous. I hope someone brings it on Monday.

14-5 KU.

Colorado is bad.

Damn... hawks starting strong....

23-10 KU, 6:39

Roby: 0-2, 0 points off the bench.

Ok colorado is horrible. The only person in the room that is worse is the person running the scoreboard.

29-16 KU, under 4 to go 1st half.

Hawks being a little too unselfish.

IS KU the most lay up missing team in the country?


:banghead:

29-21 KU, 2:58.

I think, anyway. The scoreboard has been off all night.

Nevertheless, CU on a little run.

Damn I hate Big 12 refs......... this game so far is all about the shitty refs.

Not as bad as last night's KSU/NU game. The Cats were worked over like I haven't seen this year.

Well its being called shitty both ways; I mean come on 20 fouls in one half? Thats frigging ridiculous; seems like the refs are trying to keep the game slow so they don't have to run in the altitude or some shit.

Now fans are throwing things.

That'll slow it down.

????? Don't know, the KSU/Tex-Ass game might have been worse. I think the Cats were called for another non foul against Durant just a minute ago.

Durant gets that treatment everywhere now. It comes with the territory when you're great.

KU 38
CU 22

At the half.

38-22 KU, Halftime.

Random Fact thanks to Dave Armstrong: In the Ricardo Patton era at CU, in games when the Buffs trail by 10 or more at half, they are 2-60.

Damn KU 12 fouls, CU 11 fouls. That is friggin ridiculous, especially in this game where there is not any real banging going on. Big 12 refs are pathetic.

We were worked over in more ways than one. Perhaps the way they called it, it got in the players heads and they stayed away from Maric. It got in their heads, which it shouldn't have.

Agree with you for the most part. Also seemed like the players were channeling ol' coach Woolridge for most of the game. They looked completely off from the last few weeks.

True, but it also put Hoskins on the bench for the stretch run, which goes beyond head games.

BTW, I'm not sure why I'm making excuses for K-State???

Yep, the losers mentality. They just got it in their head that there was nothing they could do to win the game, which was completely false. NU shot very well, but they did not defend particular well. It was amazing we only lost by the margin we did, which told me we had a chance the entire game. The only players on the floor that thought we had a chance were Maybank and Young (surprise, surprise).

You are one of the few people that actually watches the games. Most KU fans don't know what is happening outside of Lawrence, so you get alot of ignorance (all about volume I suppose). I try to watch every Big XII game that gets televised, gotta keep up with what is going on.

I think it is because K-State sucks. :shrug:

A lot of truth in that.

Did you watch the women by chance?

Hey put me in that group, as a matter of fact unless KSU is playing KU I always root for them.

But I try to watch every Big 12 game I can like yourself.

Some of us have a life and don't care who wins between Nebraska and Iowa State. It just isn't relevant.

I like this rotation of Arthur and Jackson; works alot better than having Kaun in for the majority of the minutes.

Actually it has a lot of relevance towards seedings in the Big 12 Tourney where all 12 teams are involved.

Also, even as a casual fan, it's good to have a little knowledge of players on other teams and what's going on around the league...even if it's just for smack talk purposes.

No, I didn't. Forgot about it, actually. I'm pretty tired with Deb Patterson, though.

45-31 KU, 15:28 2nd.

Hey Skip, how's it goin?

Wow did they really just announce that was a Napa Auto parts 3 pointer? Thats some shit you hear at a D-3 school. Whats next, the Dairy Queen free throw?

So are we. Quit covering them.

I see they lost by two. Sweat fouled with a tied game and six seconds left. CU hit both free throws, and Lehning missed a jumper at the buzzer.

They play at the "Coors Event Center". Heh.

I always laugh at Texas Tech and all their O'Reillys shit on their coaches shirts, and the ads they have on their court. That is embarrassing.

We are sleepwalking through this game and it doesn't really matter.

Whats the score. I lilve in Columbia, so any KU game thats not televised naitonally obviously I dont get to see. Did MU win tonite. I know Baylor starting coming back with 5min left but I fell asleep.

I noticed they took them off the court for the women's games, so it must just be a Knight thing.

Stupid.

MU won 78-71.

53-33 here, 12:50 to go.

53-33 Colorado or is KU winning?

ROFL

Most college basketball fans don't know what's happening outside of their own backyard.



Oh, wait, you want the arrogant-Kansas-fan-response.... the reason people in Iowa State and Nebraska know so much is that if they really want to watch good basketball, they have to watch Kansas, Kansas, and Kansas. I mean, what's the point of watching if there's not one of those little numbers next to the team? Or, for that matter, "KANSAS" on the front of the jersey?

Sorry I found gamecast, I was too lazy at first

Sleepwalking and still up by 22.

How about Robinson with a game high 11 points.

Damn Kaun is playing his ass off tonight.......... and here I was talking about how I liked seeing Jackson and Arthur more.

Guess I better talk some shit on him every game on here!

Hey, Saul, doing well thank you. Thanks for keeping your finger on he pulse of the Big XII. I only watch the games that impact KU. I rely on you to keep me up to speed on the also rans. Thanks, buddy.

I thought it was a given.

Sorry, but I don't agree with that. At all.

i'm hoping by tourney time that KU has 3 viable big men playing in a rotation.

One game against he worst team in the league doesnt impress me one bit. I still think he sucks and needs to be on the bench during good games.

Well when i saw that people were posting "this team is sleepwalking" I thought we were looking ahead of ourselves and KU was playing Bill Self shit ball again.

Baby steps.......

56-33, 10:25.

You're a whole lot smarter than I thought you were.

I hope you're joking.

Did MU hold off Baylor earlier, I saw they were ahead mid way through the second half, but sure if anyone can blow a lead it's them.

Bill Self shit ball??

:rolleyes: :shake:

MU won 78-71.

Really. He may develop or maybe not. But he has only played basketball for what? Two years? I wish we still had Giles.

Kahn and Robinson are having their best effort in several games.

That's the problem with Kahn, though. He only shows up in Clown time.

When games matter, we rely on Collins, Rush, Wright, and Chalmers in that order lately.

What's wrong with that?

Don't you want the ball in the hands of your best players when it matters?

Thanks!!!!

wow, so they just about did blow it. It was a double digit difference when I turned the channel.


(I was scared to watch, for I know I have the ability to throw the hex a game MU or Chiefs)

actually chalmers has pretty much stunk lately


kaun is still learning ... he's only in his 4th? year of playing any kind of basketball.

i think confidence is a big thing too ....... having another team foul him on purpose to help them win the game seems to shake him up alot. He's had the flu the last week or so as well.

Kaun's biggest issue is his inability to create on his own inside. He is at his best when the perimeter game is on and creating space. Arthur and even Jackson lately can create for themselves inside.

And I am glad Giles is gone......... another JR Giddens in my opinion.

There are a lot of ignorant asses on this board. Some will even tell you Marty is not a good football coach. You just learn who they are and ignore them.

I think I would swap Rush and Collins personally, but I would not complain with your order.

He's a ****ing junior.

This is why I love these game threads.

But ain't it nice to have four choices?

Your right there......... of course if Roy was still the coach KU would be winning by 50 instead of 24.
