********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[Anthony B]

Briscoe out of control. Needs to settle down and let the game come to him.

 

[jarms24]

Murray does it all. Dude is scoring, rebounding, and dropping dimes like a seasoned NBA guard. Very, very impressive!

 

[WildMoon]

Ulis with 2 points, nice drive.

Auto correct sucks.

 

[SosaUK]

Score update:

UK: Gonna beat them badly, badly.

KState: They got to play in Rupp.

 

[SosaUK]

Watching Ulis run the point is just pure pleasure.

I agree but you got to end that with a no homo.

 

[jarms24]

I've also noticed that this team is so fast, they really close off the passing lanes well.

Ulis leads all scorers so far, with 15.

 

[CarolinaCat11]

Ulis with 15

49-17 1:00

 

[bookerfan66]

Tyler is playing great.

 

[WildMoon]

Follow up layup by mathews

47 - 17

then Ulis

49 - 17

 

[FlCATFan]

POY is beginning to assert himself. LOVE IT!!!!!

 

[SosaUK]

What's his face: "I love him" hahah.

 

[WildMoon]

Poythress with another block. EWWWWW

 

[jarms24]

Poy has 3 blocks and looks like his old self. 51-20 at the half.

 

[WildMoon]

Murray with a lay up

51 - 17. UK exploding...KSU is exhausted..can't keep up now.

 

[kyfan606]

A really slow start up 51-20 at half

 

[Rupp94]

What are the rules on the 10-second rule to cross half-court?

We knocked it out with 24 seconds left; does that reset the count? 10 seconds to get across or 4 seconds?

What if you call a timeout?

Not sure if any new changes are in effect this year?

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

20-51 halftime

 

[SosaUK]

I love Poy.

 

[wromanp7]

I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but is there a box score?

 

[mdlUK.1]

Didn't they lower it from 10 to 8 and no reset?

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Ulis with the blow by!

 

[Cat Ballou]

This year, Ulis may well prove to be the best sub-5'10" player to ever play the game.

 

[WildMoon]

We aren't shooting as well like last time,

but now we are pounding it in. Ulis and Murray is great. Briscoe started strong, made some silly plays.

Willis made one bad play, but everything else been fantastic.

Skal is benched....i think

but POYTHRESSSSSSSSSS so happy to see him. He's a beast. hahahaha i missed him so much!

 

[jarms24]

Didn't they lower it from 10 to 8 and no reset?

In other changes, coaches will no longer be allowed to call timeouts during live ball situations and, with only a few exceptions, teams will get just 10 total seconds to advance the ball past half court instead of resetting the clock if there is a stoppage.

I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but is there a box score?

I think KSR post's one.

 

[SosaUK]

Holy shit.

Whoa Nelly.

Slow down, hoss.

 

[Jazzycat]

Poythress in beast mode will give UK a huge edge at the four. He can be that shot blocker and roam the sidelines for put backs all night long. So happy he is back in good bb form.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Skal didn't score and we're still up huge.

 

[SosaUK]

Hmmmm. The Jayhawk fans with the tedious nonsense about how much better D-ll (Pitt State) is than NAIA (Ottawa) after KU failed to pull away will need new talking points...

They ran out of time. Duhh.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Poythress play will determine how far this team goes.
You know it, I know it.

 

[KyFord]

This team is going to be so much fun to watch this year, a lot of quickness and unselfishness.

 

[Dreklie]

Poythress looking great. Really happy for him.

 

[FlCATFan]

If Poy plays to his potential we'll have 3 drafted in the top ten next spring.

 

[Stonewall12]

When Ulis has his mind made up, nobody in the country can stop him.

 

[chroix]

I think they were over thinking at the start but they look damn good now. Poythress looks a lot better and the Ulis Murray combo is incredible.

 

[jarms24]

I know Skal has struggled early on, but I feel like Cal needs to keep him in. He needs all the minutes he can get. We get Duke early. Give him the chance to make mistakes so he can watch the film.

 

[Rupp94]

Thanks jarms.

What was the one bad play Willis make?

 

[Anthony B]

ESPNU with the elementary basketball lesson at the half.

 

[SosaUK]

You slow down too. Poy won't get drafted top 10. Outside shot at late, late lottery. All in my opinion. Hope the kid goes #1.
