Still 5 minutes left in the half. I expect we will be by half.

I get the same hooters commercials each break...

Dave got his second Tweet of the night....

He really is. Doesn't look great doing it but he's doing really well.

When does the boat racing start?

Its on ESPN 8 the ocho....

That's fair. Bill will surely let the perimeter defense fall off a cliff anytime now.

He never looks good doing anything, but if the results are there who cares how ugly it is ya know

Good to see Remy getting some solid minutes tonight...

Fran drops, "That's one thing he's done really well in his 14 years at Kansas"

I laughed

Kinda digging those shorts ngl

Fran is calling the game? Yikes...

This is pretty cool watching these angles and such... Especially with zero broadcasters...

On the inbound.. Dixon and Bruan shook hands, that was cool to see the sportsmanship...

Dixon gave him a good game pat....


Nice half for the Hawks.

KU hasn't been tight in this one like the past two, but that was not the best end to the half. I'm usually in favour of the 2 for 1, but I don't think 40 seconds is enough time for that at this level. Just ended up with 2 garbage shots instead of 1 good one there with guys who aren't exactly adept at making garbage shots.

The most notable difference in this game vs the past two against these guys... Seems like TCU is playing the way KU did the first two games... Tense and pressing.

Turns out TCU can't stop the KU offense when KU is not playing super nervous. They're back to the way they played for most of February.

2 thumbs up and 2 thumbs down. I think people just don't get your sense of humor. :D

I'd agree.

They were aggressive against UT.

They're pressing here.

you sir are correct here...

Id like to see a big start to the second to end these guys.

I hope most folks can appreciate Plow doing his best Reerun

I gave him a thumbs up...

Hes just confused and on the wrong channel....

:thumb:

That was one of the more obvious charge calls on Lampkin I've seen all year and it was called a block on Braun

Lampkin grabs McCormack on the rebound there and also gets no call...refs are helping TCU get back in this.

Yeah, shit call.

And then McCormack does dumb things.

Damn. Theyre heating up.

Refs don't call the obvious goaltend now. That's about 6 points they've gifted them now in 3 minutes.

So they're just not calling charges then?

3 quick fouls on Kansas.... Very questionable calls

What a man dunk!

Yeah But were arent backing down.. We keep pushing...

And a charge called.

Took long enough. This run TCU has gone on is almost entirely ref aided.

Finally a charge.

Pretty ballsy of Harris to set up for the cheapies he got early and their unwillingness to call a charge.

Absolutely agree....

That's really cool Jamie Dixon seems like a decent guy. I don't know why but I've always liked him. And Mike Boyton. Other big 12 coaches like Scott drew, Huggins, or Bruce weber are **** sticks as far as I'm concerned.

Huggy doesn’t bother me. Dixon is a great coach. Bouton will be good in time.

The rest like you said can punt a kitten.

Oh Remy. That was nasty.

When Remy owns you on defense it isn't your night.

A Mitch heat check. Never thought I’d see the day.

Lightfoot ROFL

Mitch has made 3 pointers on the past. He just doesn't have the green light from Bill.

Has any team in NCAA history had this much tenure in 3 bench players? Lightfoot, JCL, and Remy. Isn't that like 18 years combined?

Got sloppy as shit.

That last 4 minutes was terrible.

Welp, still plenty of time to lose by 20. Just hope Bill can coach 'em up and the guys can hold onto this lead.

Sportscenter Top 10 right there.

That Ochai dunk LMAO

That was a man's dunk.

Talent & Coaching University still has a chance.

The intensity is certainly out, but overall a really good performance by everybody except maybe McCormack.

Best game in a long time. Nice work folks.

When KU isn't playing nervous like they were last week, their offense is a force to deal with. #1 seed probably wrapped up tonight.

I also haven't seen Remy play with that kind of confidence since the beginning of the season. Could be a useful piece off the bench if we need instant offense in the tournament.

We have unreal experience off the bench in Remy, Lightfoot, and JCL. I think that’s a very underrated part of this team.

And other than his ole play when his guy crashed from the corner he wasn’t totally worthless on D.

The refs let Tech get away with murder because they foul on every possession. Time to prepare for a football game tomorrow.

Tech escapes on a laughably bad foul call. Bring it on.

I know Tech is better than OU, but I don’t mind avoiding the Groves brothers. They’re nothing special, but they really seem to have our numbers. The bearded one especially.

Tech is miles better than OU. They also don't play anything resembling basketball. Would have very much preferred the opposite outcome to that game because now it's going to be a chore to watch that horrible slog tomorrow.

Oh I know Tech is significantly better. They’re probably also better prep for the big tourney though. Can’t avoid good teams forever.

I don’t get how, but those goofy unathletic ****s play out of their minds against us. Im fine not playing them.

At least they don't bastardize the game of basketball.

Really wanted OU. They were playing good ball and I’d like to see them get in the big dance. Plus OU would be tired as all hell tomorrow.

Not looking forward to more rugby. But if we can play assignment sound defense they look like they can’t do a ton of creating. But we have to hold our own physically. We’ve been playing faster and looser, so if we can keep that up with our confidence up we should be OK. If we go to shit then we lose.

You don’t enjoy games played in the 50’s decided on what the refs last decide is a foul? Lol

I’ll also add that OU missed several open looks early in that game to fall behind.

If we hit open shots and jump out, Tech’s style of play doesn’t lend itself to making comebacks. They need a slugfest to win.

Say what you want about them. #1 defense in college basketball. Gritty team. Its not gonna be fun. Its Because they are well coached and good.

Tech tends not to allow many open shots because they'll just grab you on every play without getting called for it.

"Good" at rugby, yes, not basketball.

Mark Adams looks ****ing identical to this middle aged lady I used to have as a PE teacher. I can’t unsee it.

If they call the game the way they call it, its GREAT coaching to play that way.

I didn't say it wasn't good coaching. I said it was a bastardization of the game of basketball.

This PT job is screwing up my viewing of the Jayhawks!

Somebody fill me in, is DMac hurt?

Are we looking better?

Is Remy finally healthy?

Yes to all.

Dmac is just dealng with a nagging injury. He's been playing through it for awhile now.

So are we getting a #1 seed?

That win last night should have locked it up regardless of what we do tonight.

Not my opinion. If Kentucky and Duke win their tournaments and we lose..... I could see the committee view Kentucky beating us at home and Coach K's last hurrah as the deciding factor to put us on the #2 line.

Yeah, can't say I've paid much attention to other teams this year, but I'm surprised Lunardi has UK on the 2 line at the moment. They don't really have any bad losses and of course convincingly beat Kansas on the road.

Looks like Duke has more questionable losses and then their conference run includes the 4th and 7th best teams in their conference... like you said, I think it would take some Coach K bias to push them to a #1 if both they and KU win.

I can see that also. Not out of the realm of possibility



We have to win today if we want a shot at the 1 line.

Just take care of business (basically) at home and you don't have to worry about anything.

Win today locks a 1. No question. Baylor would have practically no strong claim to a 1 over us.

I’d like to avoid having Duke as our 2 seed in the tourney if it plays out. Can you imagine the calls K would get on his farewell tour with a Final Four on the line?

I've been down for 4 days with the flu. I've watched a lot of basketball, and I have to say, the Big 12 has offered the best basketball. Other than Iowa State and West Virginia.

I bitch about the rugby ball as much or more than anyone else, but in terms of offensive and defensive execution even the rugby ball is better. I watched a shitload of crap-sloppy offense, and horrible out of position defense. The TCU/KU game was probably the worst defensive rotation of the tournament contenders, and virtually every other tournament had major defensive errors at least that commonly.

And I have to say I'm really impressed with OU defensively. I've watched too many garbage OU teams stand around on D, but this team gave up virtually no easy shots. They're pretty down on talent, but they were really technically sound. And they're the 7th seed.

There is some shit basketball being played. Maybe it's familiarity, maybe it's too many games, but woof in terms of offensive and defensive execution, Big 12 is best, albeit a limited sample over a few days.

Sidenote: Woof Iowa State was bad.

agreed. Even Coach K bias and Kentucky winning, if we win, no way they can deny us the #1 seed.
