Only a single fanbase will think that this year.

When KU isn't playing it =

On Hawk Talk Self said Hunter and McCullar out for the conference tourney

Yup.
But they will play in the NCAA tournament.

Can we beat Cincy without both of them?
I dunno. KJ gonna have to ball.

What does this even mean?

“He didn’t really do anything (in practice) between the K-State game (last Tuesday) and the Houston game but was feeling very good in warmups — because we said it’d be a game-time decision if he was feeling very good — and then when he got out there he didn’t feel like he could perform,” Self said Monday.

It sure seems like KM is the one deciding he's not playing, and not the doctors. Which is fine, but also sort of weird.

"I feel good coach"...game going poorly, shot not falling, "opting out coach, can't peform".

Just seems strange how it's all gone down.

KU are 2.5 dogs v Cincy tonight.

Yeah I bad-fanned that line way more toward Cincinnati. I don't see us keeping this competitive (but I do like either KJ or Furphy rebounding overs).

Yea, i'd only bet in a parlay and shift the line to like 6.5 and bump the over up.
Then splash in a prop - rebounding probably a good bet.

But i'm just avoiding.
I won't be watching so I won't be betting.

Building game for next year. We need to see something from some of these guys.

Need Timberlake to go off tonight.

I personally would deactivate Jackson's McCarthy Hall keycard if he doesn't get 15 shots up.

Haha....I will be cautiously optimistic about him next year if he finds a way to score 12+pts and actually feel like he impacts the game outside of just shooting/making shots.

I think we can and will beat Cincinnati. It'll be tough. If KJ gets in foul trouble we are fucked tho.

Play 4 out and run and shit load of pick and rolls with KJ going at the basket.

Timberlake and furph gonna have to hit a couple 3s tho. I think elmarko plays well today

We are going to have to have the most tenacious attack the boards from KJ and Furphy.
Cincy is one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the nation.

I could see things going South quickly if they keep getting second possessions.

Needing to hit 3s in a weird gym with a ramshackle lineup doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.

No.
Not when we are shooting 30.8% ( 11th, Cincy is dead last ) from 3 in conference and that's generally with a lineup with 2 1st team B12 players.

More likely to happen....DH scores 20 or Elmarko scores 20?

Considering Dajuan's career high is almost double ( 23 ) that of Elmarko, i'd say Dajuan.

Yeah, this has all of the hallmarks of a 57-51 rockfight...if we can manage to stay in it.
