Police called on suspicious person offering ‘free-throw advice’ at KU men’s basketball dorm

Posted by Sara Shepherd

January 24, 2018 at 5:40 p.m.

University of Kansas police were called to the men’s basketball dorm Wednesday afternoon, where a man reportedly kept showing up to give a resident there some “free-throw advice.”

The call about the man "wanting to give free-throw advice" came in about 3:30 p.m., but when police got to McCarthy Hall, the man — who's not a KU student — had already left, KU police Deputy Chief James Anguiano said. For that reason, at least as of about an hour after the call, police didn’t plan to file a trespassing or other criminal report, Anguiano said. (Radio traffic indicated the man had been there multiple times that day before the police were called, and may have come back again just before 5 p.m. Note: Subject's clothing description included a blue and red windbreaker.)

Anguiano said the name of the intended recipient of the man’s advice was not relayed to him by the officer on scene.

However...

In the final 3:37 of the KU’s 85-80 loss to Oklahoma Tuesday night in Norman, Oklahoma decided to repeatedly foul Udoka Azubuike, sophomore center from Nigeria, in hopes he’d miss his free throws. And*the strategy played out just like Oklahoma wanted.

Azubuike — shooting an abnormally low .375 from the free-throw line — went 1 for 8 in free-throw shooting for the game. In the final 3:37 he went 0 for 6.

Is that real? Sounds like something from The Onion.

I don't remember you being as whiny as you have been in the past year. Must have overlooked it all the years previous, but you've become quite the baby. Maybe it's time for another break bud. Relax a bit.

Listened to Self last night essentially say the same thing.

**RockChalk** · 01-25-2018, 08:26 AM

So which one of you idiots stopped by McCarthy Hall yesterday?

So I toss lighthearted [complete with winky emoji] guff your way for the exact same behavior you made great efforts to make clear you had strong serious criticism of me over, and you accuse ME of whining?

Nobody asked you to critique my posts, but you did, and did, and did. And you made quite sure you weren't joking, and that you had serious [non joking, non-lightehearted] qualms with my disrespect of the silent rational majority when I criticized what even you admit are long term purposeful trolls.

Sounds like you might be the whiny little titty-baby bitch, just a possibility. . . Just throwing it out there for contemplation.

Look - I'm not doing this with you in this thread. I'm not going to derail the thread any further than you & I already have because I made a dumb joke at Como and got called out for said dumb joke - to which you had to pipe in.

If you'd like to continue it, feel free to bump whatever thread it was that we were talking about you seeing things the way you want to see them. I'd be happy to continue it there.

What's to 'continue?' You've been up my ass for a solid fortnight for being too mean by criticizing trolls. I toss you a little guff about it and so you decide I need psychoanalysis.

I ain't done shit to you in the past. And in the present, I still ain't done shit that hasn't been initiated by you. Even then, I keep it light.

Buck up titty-baby.

Lets get back to talking about how our HOF coach who is loved by 99.99% on this board committed the biggest bonehead in-game decision in his career.

I'd be considerably less concerned if this entire season hadn't been so concerning all along.

Everyone and every organization is entitled to an off year. But something feels a little 'slipping away' about this year. KU doesn't feel like the big dog with the big swinging dick. They seem vulnerable to every team they play. Then you have the eligibility mess.

Overall it's one game. And even if 2017/2018 is a disaster throughout, it's one season. But with what we've gone through with the Chiefs recently, he picked a bad time to show us even a little of the Wizard behind the Curtain.

This is the 2nd year in a row we have 1 big man inside, who has flaws, and no bench. Now, to be fair Preston would have probably been in there instead of Doke and thats on Preston not Self. I dont think you could have recruited a 3rd top level one and done inside man to play this year. They would get all the playing time they want somewhere else. Preston being a dumbass really hurt us.

Self is still great at recruiting and developing 2nd tier talent. He's still behind the masters [whether that's because he's trying to stay cleaner, or what] in the 1&D game. Heck, probably our best overall 1&D in Embiid wasn't even supposed to be a 1&D, but still learning the game and healthy for at least a couple years. Explosive talent and tweaked bone structure turned that into an attractive long-term NBA investment instead of a teaching opportunity for KU.
