Official Jayhawks Top the Mountaineers Thread

Self agrees:

Bill Self on KU’s loss to West Virginia

Wut?
“Well I didn’t think it was a foul…”

[Shirley]

if you think that was a foul you're a fucking idiot.

I've signed the papers and had them notarized so that in the event Randy starts making more sense than I do, it triggers an intervention.

Shirley tonight is indeed a fucking idiot, joining already established idiot randy.
Slow it down.
Elmarko gets all ball, it’s stripped, and THEN the WVU player falls into Elmarkos leg. And makes a MEAL out of it.

Case closed.
Shirley fucking idiot for 1 hour 28 more minutes.
randy? Unfortunately, life.

Classy.

[pdub]

Time has past.
Today is a new day where if we watch a replay and see it doesn’t look like a foul and our head coach also didn’t think it was a foul, but randy thinks it was a foul, there’s a very good chance it was never a foul.

It wAs noT a FOul

Sure, Jan.

[KUTradition]

so glad refs are now infallible and never make mistakes

[twocoach]

Can the other Big 12 members please get together and vote to give West Virginia to the ACC? They don't fit in the Big 12 and I hate playing their teams. Get the Backyard Brawl between Pitt and WVU into the ACC. It's a win-win.

Elmarko reach in call = kadarius toney offsides

[pdub]

No.
Toney was actually offsides - you just don't ever call that in that situation.
There's a whole thread about it actually - go check it out.

In this case, there wasn't an infraction.
I don't even think Elmarko's feet touches his - I think the guy knows he's been stripped and just flops to the ground.

Frame 1 - Elmarko gets all ball
Frame 2 - Elmarko is pulling down and there might, key word might, be some incidental contact but after that initial contact certainly no way you call that
Frame 3 - I really don't think Elmarko's foot actually touches his - it's close - but if you watch the way the WVU players leg/foot moves I really don't think he makes contact there

Frame 5 - WVU bowlcut dude realizes he's just lost the ball with 20 seconds left and no one to guard the basket so he just takes a dive

[TDub]

clean. game changing play.

[pdub]

87-87 with less than 20 seconds on the clock.
Yup.

[Sparko]

The bowl cut guy looks disturbingly like the Appalachian photos illustrating IQ levels beneath 75. Weird that he would wear that. But like the Dueling Banjos kid, gifted. This time at free throws. Music a better alternative.

As expected, you fail to mention that Elmarko has hold of the guy's left wrist the entire time.

[pdub]

You’re taking crazy pills.

[TDub]

im so confused, is this like blue dress gold dress?

I truly don't understand how anyone can see a foul there, it's so clear to me.

[pdub]

Once again, for the people in the back.

I am somewhat comforted by the fact the ref that called it was in good position to make the call.

He still made the wrong call, but at least he wasn't in bad position.

[TDub]

such a bad call, fooled by the flailing of the former Arizona methhead.

[jfish26]

We can zapruder this stuff to death. My general feeling is that a guy behind the play is more often than not gonna get whistled there.

Fair or unfair.

That said, whether or not it’s worth the risk was probably a matter of seconds. It probably was NOT worth the risk given how close we were to a 10-second call…but that’s a level of situational awareness that’s not realistic to expect from a freshman in particular trying to win a game.

[Sparko]

I think the conscious or unconscious psychology of these late calls harshing the buzz of elite programs, be they Jayhawks or Chiefs, is that the other guys deserve the break. Like Self said, can't afford to get to that point. Hoping the Chiefs can build a safety cushion that doesn't rely on not getting flagged.
