Fran and Boog are in shambles right now. Their tone has completely shifted.

I missed it, I wasn't listening to the commentary much.
Awesome.
RE: OU, they played pretty well. They had a stretch there where they made some REALLY tough (they were bad takes, good makes) shots that had no business going in. That's really fun to watch, even from my couch as a KU fan, but over the course of time, those aren't going to go in and teams will pull away from OU. They really need those Groves ****s hitting 3's to pull teams out of their defense. They defended pretty well most of the time. I think they can't hang with the bigger more post oriented teams in the league, but it will be as interesting of a conference season as there has been. OSU is 1-3 and took us and KSU to the brink. We'll see how teams handle losing (hopefully not us) but this is a goddamned gauntlet of a conference season.

K State is playing well, but that WVU team we just beat down took them to OT. That Tech team that we barley beat just got destroyed by Iowa State.
It’s going to be a really mixed bag this year. Any win is a good win.

Absolutely, there are going to be some absolute knock down drag outs. Whatever team can make it out of the conference into the tournament healthy is going to be tested.

KJ... hoo boy. I really have no idea where I'm at on the kid. Last year I was all about him. I love thick strong dudes that can play. They can do so much to help you win and I loved his energy.
Then this year they were running shit for him and it was cover your eyes bad. Holy balls. Now, he's limited a lot of the stupidest shit, but still misses a lot of point blank looks at the bucket and his confidence is obviously higher than his competency in the post. But damn he's made a lot of good plays.
I wonder if that isn't the game plan these days. "Make Adams beat you". looking at KCC's post, that's probably right. OU took it a little far with him getting wide open dunks. Best thing is he's executing those. And he's rebounding pretty well for his length, and best of all managing the space well, so great, fire away at selling out on Dick and Wilson.

Good post. Thanks.
It's good to see KJ execute those...I'm not sure Clemence does. Sidenote, I love Harris. I wish he was a better scorer, but as a fan of technically sound ball, I love Harris. Hopefully his wrist is OK.
On the McCullar drive you posted, didn't they put in a rule for flopping? I mean, McCullar didn't even make contact before he bailed out. Not only is that a flop, but that's a horribly executed flop. My buddy asked me isn't that a technical? I mean, that's asking a lot of this crew but holy shit. That's ALL that's wrong with basketball. I'd be all about tightening up on the physicality if they'd also hammer the worst of those mother****ers.
