YAWWNNN KU-Buffs 10 PM
-
@Khonas welcome to the buckets!
-
Unfortunately couldn't watch last night but just watched the full replay getting ready for work.
Darryn playing til the end- Nice!
Darryn getting a bit hobbled mid-2nd half and playing like he was hobbled. Hopefully he's good for Saturday.
Flory- Huge defensive game. He's an elite rim protector. 4 or more blocks in 5 of the 6 conference games so far.
White- Huge bounce-back game for him 17 & 15.
Council- Huge game. Those 2 layups within 5 seconds were what gave KU the momentum to get the W. He's made of brass.
Officiating- Do better. Awful to watch Council/Tiller/White continuously be fouled at the rim. Colorado is very lucky this team didn't have 30 FT attempts.
Proud of the team for the response on the road. Perhaps the Self situation kept them focused on winning for him. Perhaps the team has made real growth (looks like it). KU had dropped 7 of its last 8 Big-12 road games so nice to get one. Now let's get another on Saturday Night.

I wonder if coach watched it on the same channel we all did. Did he mute Fran?
-
Ya Iām hearing Fran was a tool bag the whole game yet again. Maybe Bill watching at home realizes why the fans hate him so much at this point.
-
Syncing Brian Hanni is worth the one minute of effort prior to each tipoff. As for the controversial play, Council actually didn't swipe at the ball at first. The Colorado player didn't wait for Council to leave the area and just chucked the ball right into his arm.

@rcjhdraft we play like that Sat were gonna get beat period , someone mentioned great defense - - -must of been watching a different game then I was because our defense on their three point shooting was just plain dog crap. WIDE OPEN THREE's I mean WIDE OPEN. hell my disabled grand mother could of defended that better, better get that fixed. Better in the 2nd half but that first was just ridiculous
-
@ROCKCHALK2025 There was some great defense late in the second half but the defense in the first half was terrible
-
Certainly, the first half was rocky defensively, but they made adjustments in the 2nd half which ultimately helped them win. Good to see they were able to make adjustments without Self. Perhaps he would have tweaked some stuff earlier, we don't know. Still, we won on the road without our coach. I'm not sure any team recently has accomplished that.
3 pt defense will have to be sharp Saturday as that's all K-St does. Defend and rebound. We can beat them, they are horrible defensively.
-
Watched this morning. Fran was EXTRA AWFUL! Could tell Boog doesn't enjoy working with him...
-
Melvin Council Highlights vs. Colorado (18 Pts, 7 Rebs, 3 Asts)
-
Tre White Highlights vs. Colorado (17 Pts, 15 Rebs, 4 Asts)
-
Darryn Peterson Highlights vs. Colorado (16 Pts, 6 Rebs)
-
What's funny is I turned this on my phone and the sound wasn't working, I thought ESPN had muted the announcers (wishful thinking knowing Fran was calling the game). Turns out I just had my volume all the way down.
It's painful how bad he is at this gig.
Bright side: We have more remaining games on networks outside of ESPN so we're a bit lucky that we may only get him a few more times...
-
@BeddieKU23 Saturday we on fox again so Iām excited to not hear from the peanut gallery all game.
-
@Jayhawk_69 sounds good to me! A lot of players had sore
-
@BeddieKU23 self texted coaches at half, guessing getting the ball to Flo was a point.
-
@BShark I've noticed and I feel strongly that Fran has set this up. Boog always asks Fran a couple of times during games what should they do during different times, course to show off Fran's coaching prowess!
-
@Jayhawk_69 I really like Hanni, I know a lot of fans think he's corny. He does so much for cancer patients in the Lawrence area. I watch Hawk Talk, he is so well organized, so well informed. A lot of prep work. I usually listen to the post game and some pre game.
-
To each his own of course. I agree. I really like Hanni too. Good voice and I think he hits a nice balance between excitement and real basketball analysis

Just watched a replay of the Council steal and a clip of him being interviewed about it. During the steal, his back was to the inbounder. The inbounder, wanting to inbound the ball in a hurry, seemed not to notice Melvin and threw it into the back of his arm. It appears that, upon feeling the ball, Council took advantage to get the steal. I don't know what the exact rules are in this scenario, but I don't think it would have been fair to T council up when he was facing away and when the inbounder gave him no time to clear out of the area. In a post-game interview, Council said (and I paraphrase) that he wasn't even thinking about getting the steal and it just sort of happened.
