Well I'll say I certainly hope they make this better that looks to be going, don't see that happening in the slightest unless Slef calls off the dogs, but for my own sanity I'm out to enjoy this weekend.

At least don't lose by 25+ please.

Kansas always passes the ball so well

I think this requires Drew throwing some chairs around at halftime.

Would not be opposed to that

About as much as I've got a chance to land a date with Jennifer Garner.

No backside help on defense
Pitiful defensive rebounding
Can't throw the ball in the ocean from a boat on offense
No flow in the offense

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...

Well I like your attitude, but I cannot see one thing that tells me this is so.

This seems like Baylor vs Kansas 2003-2004

Drew is going to be bald when this is over. Usually I'm the voice of reason...but...

We are not matching their intensity one bit...when someone punches you in face..you punch back.. defensive effort non existent..

I don't post much on this particular board, but at the moment, Kansas is making us look like we don't belong on the same floor with them .Hard to watch..As one of the announcers just said, "It's effort..It's all effort."..

4-4 sounds pretty good right now if we are being honest.

Obligatory scandal reference.
Yes. A scandal that occurred before any of these players were born. Geesh.

Of course they never mention the woman raped in the Kansas Men's Athletic dorm a few days ago when the ONLY athletes in the building at the time were the Kansas Men's Basketball team. Hmmm.....

How long ago was our last field goal? Sheesh

I love that Akinjo spots the other team 5+ bonus possessions a game. I've never seen a point guard that loses the dribble as much as him with no one actively guarding him.
Johnny Bear

Have we had any of our guards score a single point yet?

Nova game looks more and more like an anomaly as the season goes on. This is a below average to bad defensive team

Getting mauled by the Jayhawks.

Refs are looking the other way on clear fouls, so we gotta be more physical to match KU's effort

What are we running in offense?!?! I don't see any play/strategy whatsoever.

And how many times can we let a Kansas player get behind our defense.

This is terrible basketball on both ends of the court. And it's not because of Kansas.
Branch155
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We have no movement from our front line on offense. Basically, it's the guard passing it around between themselves

Seriously….

2-14 from 3pt

It is clear the early season momentum and magic is completely gone.

Maybe losing this game by 25+ will get their attention and refocus.
IowaBear

Keep in mind this is garbage KU team defensively. I expected to get beat today but it's time to significantly lower my expectations for the season. I'll be thrilled with a S16 appearance.

Akinjo 0-7
Flagler 0-4
Bonner 0-3

Left golf long enough to check the boxscore and I see our 3 guards are 0-14 from the floor.

Sounds like 2004 or 2005.

lol, I didn't say they were big chief. I was just pointing out that they're not calling what they normally would

Akinjo is pure dog ***** Worst half of any player of any team this year. jfc

Guard play hadn't been consistent all year that's not surprising.
