@Jayhawk_69 said in Fran wowlly Wow say it isn't so Buddy lmao: I wonder if Fran actually hates KU or if that is just part of his gimmick as a public personality Watch any other game and they aren’t anywhere near as bad as Fran. Like I said imagine how fast someone that bad mouthed Duke or UK the whole game would get yanked or OSU or Alabama football. They’d be done after one game.

@BShark agree. +17 with only 4 points is amazing

Getting a bunch of unathletic teams would be a great draw

@rcjhdraft Darryn reminds me of a guy that is like when times are tough he is still like not getting that upset-- -just sticks with it and when things are good he just doesn't get all juiced-- seems like his demeanor stays pretty even keel . Seems he just happens to be a type of guy that just doesn't show his emotions vert much either way

@Jayhawk_69 they may be in a decent position but the race is still on, they still got to play Iowa St and us before it's over and pretty dure their game with Iowa State is Ames

@Jayhawk_69 a win Monday would be massive imo, and would put us right back on track, especially if our core players all play fairly well to well.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I don’t think he’s ready by any stretch of imagination but you never know. Cheick diallo was drafted 33rd without really playing and a similar build to Flory.

Sorry... I've been AWOL! I only watched 3 minutes of this game, and I'm glad I missed it. I just looked at the box score and it feeds right into a thought I've had for quite some time.... it's about Tre. Tre has been our most consistent player all year and I am very glad we have him, because he usually finds his way to putting up good stats with lots of points and some needed rebounds. I'm thinking Tre is a guy who always takes advantage of the opportunity to prosper on average defenders. But when the competition toughens up, his production dies. He scored 2 against ISU, and 4 against UA. And I noticed this same trend in other tough battles. We really can't afford almost no production from any position. This is worse than Juan. Concerning DP... it was hard to imagine him doing well in this game. Hostile environment and energetic defense. Coming off the flu. Knocking the rust off his game. And he still isn't integrated into the offense. Until he starts averaging at least 4 apg, I won't be convinced he is integrated. He should be creating even more than that! I've heard all the excuses why he doesn't produce assists and I'm not buying any of them. His assist line might not be as important to NBA scouts as his points line, but I guarantee you it is important. At this point in the season, he really can't miss more games if we hope on really capitalizing on using him towards anything near the potential. But since our depth is limited, we can still use him no matter what, but we just can't hope to get a real bump. I wasn't really expecting we would leave the Hilton with a W, but I was hoping more for a loss similar to what UH just had. To see such a fall off like that doesn't really give me March optimism. But I predicted we would lose a few more then have another team meeting like we did earlier. We've seen so much recent growth... hope that keeps going because we need more development to be truly competitive in March. I've forgotten completely about competing for the B12 crown.

@DanR I do like that song!

@FarmerJayhawk said in Kansas Jayhawks vs Arizona Wild Cats Game Chat Mon. 2/9 8:00 CT: The local establishment I was at last night (which has $3.50 all drafts on Mondays, hell of a deal) was absolutely belligerent in the best ways during the game. Nothing compares to Mass St during Final Fours but it was crazy for a Monday night in February. Mass street is always wild on game days. We couldn’t even get in anywhere to eat Saturday after 11 am.

@rcjhdraft Interesting, never have seen that.

@drgnslayr Flory shut down AJ to start the BYU game and shut down Toppin to the tune of 10 points from the reigning Big 12 PPY, He is a better athlete than Rodman and really better all around. With Tiller having more impact almost each game on both ends and too big for other four's and with a stroke once he can tame it look out. The coaches are urging him to shoot from deep and mid range you can tell. When Tre and Melvin got used to the freedom on offense and the modified switching on defense, which is actually getting better, there's not a weak link anymore. It will be interesting how we handle Utah and hopefully get court time and shot attempts beyond Elmarko and Jamari. DP doesn't act like a freshman and you don't get as skilled and polished as he is without putting in endless practice hours. How good is Zona anyway that's what I want to see. There are some trap games like OSU and Cincy still to come.

@kjayhawks2.0 Yeah health is this team's only major weakness lol. That and would like a more consistent bench, but both Mari and Elmarko have shown they can make an impact at times.

@mayjay I have assumed for quite some time that Flory would not he high on NBA draft boards due to the fact that he is undersized for a center and has no outside shot. But if he is projected to go in the first round then I guess I am wrong and Flory is probably gone after this season.

And and and if you guys treat this like a revenge game and take care of business you can dunk on em to finish it. You can earn that.

We didn't get up by 20 at the half just because of DP. Saunders didn't just fall out of a tree in the second. 24 in a half is a fluke and probably made him some money later

I think this is a home run hire by KC. Definitely a downgrade from the likes of A&M and Maryland but at Turg’s age I’m sure doing something like this close to home was a big selling point. I see zero realistic chance he replaces Bill Self, he is only a few years younger. Obviously with that being said Self could step down anytime with health concerns. I just don’t see Turg as a guy we would pursue to replace him. Would be great to see him lead that club to the NCAA tournament. People forget how dead the that WSU program was before he stepped in.
