@Jayhawk_69 said in Kansas Jayhawks at UCF Knights Game Chat Sat. 1/3 1:00 CT:

Unfortunately this game gives us a lot of negative takeaways and only 1 positive.

The positive: Melvin Council is the real deal. He is a stud who can hit big shots, play defense, and get to the rim at will.

The negatives:

1. DP will not play a second half for us all year. It does not matter if he is "100%". It just isn't going to happen.

2. Our defense, it turns out, was a paper tiger.

3. We have no heart. This is the only explanation for us not getting any defensive rebounds. We have the size and athleticism to be great on the glass.

4. We have no toughness. Everytime we tied or took the lead we gave up an easy basket at the other end. In the last minute with a chance to win we allowed 100% 3 pt percentage, 100% shooting from the field, and gave up 2.67 points per possession.

5. Flory has not taken the step forward needed from him.

6. Tiller is not ready to be a big 12 starter.

I suppose, on the bright side, all these issues (minus number 1) are fixable, but as of now it looks like we are a bottom half of the Big 12 team.

Overreaction city, not based on our full season of work.

1. We still don't know. I wish if he was on a minutes restriction that they'd be allocated out a bit so we have him at the end of the game.

2. Our defense is really one of the better units in recent memory. Today 1st half was ugly but 2nd half was much better. Against a tall team we had 7 blocks

3. We have no heart. Really. How is that measured? I'd say we've showed a lot of heart this season in the way we've played against really good teams, even shorthanded without DP.

4. We have no toughness. One game we were down by 1 with 10 seconds left on the road against a well coached and 1 loss team. Come on man, again how are you measuring toughness? Since the championship, this is the toughest team we've had by far, we've all been saying it. Don't let a bad result (that we win if DP plays) cloud your judgment on this team. They're a fun team to watch and have given us thrills this season we haven't experienced since 22.

5. Flory has improved in many ways since his freshman year. More minutes sure, but he's been indispensible to this team.

6. I might agree on Tiller.

There was a lot of negativity on the board today. Disappointing loss for sure. End of the world? Not ready to go there.

Never knew there was a Funny category on the Bucket. Here's a few. What are some of your favorites?

Roman guy walks into a bar, holds up two fingers and says give me 5 beers.

Dyslexic guy walks into a bra.

Skeleton walks into a bar, says give me a beer and a mop.

When they installed artificial turf at KState football the cheerleaders realized they'd have to find a new field to graze in.

Nebraska stressing academics decided to put the letter N on their helmets for knowledge.

Drug dealers in Missouri not so smart. They didn't want to risk jail time so they sent one of their interns down to Mexico to get some coke they could sell. He came back with a couple of 12 packs of Pepsi saying it was cheaper.

I hate it when people use your and you're wrong. There so dumb.

@FarmerJayhawk

Yeah, even when he had an off game yesterday he got 17 points seemingly almost effortlessly.

The series was started Feb 11 1926 so we're on to the 2nd century of KU-OSU basketball!

@approxinfinity So you're saying Vitale has become a diaper dandy?

I miss RedRooster approving of every comment.

BTW, Austin Booker with 2 sacks for the Bears today.

Davis may not watch us enough to know about Flory.

Seth Davis: "Peterson is the future pro but Council is Kansas’ best player. Jayhawks are at their best when the ball is in his hands and he is attacking. When and if he and Peterson figure things out look out!"

We are tied in the conference with Houston. Imagine that.

Houston gave up!!

No no no....good shot

I'm scared

Oh good, he's coming in.

I have no sound on, I relax better. Have they talked about DP coming out? I rewound, he hit the three, Self was gesturing to him to get downcourt. Hasn't been seen him since.
