Kansas game

[NJHusky]

Expect the Phog whistle all night.

Do we know the refs yet?

Will be a pro-Kansas/Big12 ref blow hard fest.

 

[DMIL]

Nope.

Kansas is not actually good this year imo. Taris and Mullins second game back. Off of minutes restrictions. Reibe confidence at an all time high. Solo due. Peterson rusty(if he plays). They won’t be able to score with us. Hurley revenge game in Lawrence. UConn +15. Statement game.

It doesn’t matter. It’s Kansas and if I recall correctly, we have a horrid record against them. I’m not sure that we’ve ever beaten Kansas. This should be a great game. That squad has some dudes.

Are Reed, and Mullins off minutes restriction. I can kind of see it for Reed, but I would think Mullins would still be being eased in.

. I envy what a Phog Allen Field house would look like in Storrs.

I, for one, would be opposed to Kansas putting a stadium in Storrs.

Thanks, boomer

If we are healthy, we win by 10+ points. I can’t say 20+ because we can’t hit FT’s at an elite level yet. This game shouldn’t be close, even in Kansas. If I see a team that can play with us I will call them out. But I haven't yet.

We get the right guys to the line, we are a very good FT shooting team.

AK, Ball, Ross well over 80%. Silas at 77%. Pretty steep drop after that.

Stewart shooting FTs 59% for his career is a pretty strong suggestion he is not a great shooter. Why we have him jacking threes makes no sense.

To me it seemed like Reed had way less range of motion than Mullins. I'm hoping for no set back for either guy.

Yes they are the 3 that don’t like Hurley!

 

[Son of Robert]

For real?

It's funny with the Pitino call - you end up just thinking he's smart enough to scout and get the right guys in, not leave glaring holes in the roster. He ends up getting no PG's, we get two. A kid like Smith would have been perfect for what they want, a gritty NYC PG that plays tough nosed D. The interesting thing with him, is that his team farted out prematurely last year because they couldn't score. So he swings to the FAR opposite end thinking that will work. Frustration selections or strategical? Like you, now after seeing them, I honestly don't think they'll be as good as last year.

Zubi doesn't feel like he's blending quite as well with this group - last year he had multiple PGs to throw him solid entries.

His team farted out prematurely last year because for no apparent reason the conference POY didn’t show up. Not a bad shooting day — wouldn’t defend, pass or run the court. That was a team perfectly capable of a run in March — they just didnt show up

 

[Lafayette]

Ugh - ESPN2. I am not paying for YouTube TV - Google wants to just push the monthly price up and cite the tired "best content" crap while being more expensive than cable.

I will be on ESPN website gamecast.

 

[Leebo]

For real?

I assume the implication was that all refs don't like Hurley, so it doesn't matter which three they actually are, it applies to them all.

 

[BFieldHusky]

UConn opens as a 1.5 point favorite.

 

[NickDanger]

Thanks bud. Great insight. I’ve been really impressed with your contributions.

That's excellent, because impressing jackasses is my main aim here!

None the less, do great coaches have players that do that? Wouldn't ensuring your best player goes into a key game with a good attitude pretty important? I mean, you work that hard all year just to see the kid flame out in the biggest game - very weird.

Good coaches prevent that more than mediocre coaches. If you actually believe that any adult can always make a young male behave responsibly and rationally, I have a bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan I’m willing to sell you.

I'm sure Kansas isn't an underdog very often in Allen Fieldhouse.

KP would have suggested 2.5. I'm guessing this goes up. Tarris ready will make a difference against Bidunga, who is averaging about 16/8 so far. I'm sure if Petersen plays, he'll be a little rusty. If he's not, I can see Ross getting some run. This one would be sweet, and the prize of the OOC if we can get it. We don't beat these guys, it's in the Phogg and we need some revenge for that 2024 game.

I have no idea what kind of algorithm the ESPN predictor uses but they have Kansas having a 52.7% chance of winning. So I was thinking the spread might go down and not up. We'll see by where the money goes the next 2 days.

This is an interesting one because of all the injuries involved.

Good point. Will Peterson play? Nobody knows yet.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Jesus. I leave you people alone for a few hours and you manage this catastrophe.

UConn, with Reed and Mullins at 100% and KU without Peterson. Advantage UConn. Even in AFH. With Peterson, it’s very close. If Reed is more limited and Peterson is 100% advantage KU. Tiller is very good and is the kind of 4 that causes problems for AK.

I was in Kemper in the 90s. I’m very, very ready for UConn to finally put one in the win column against Kansas. Expecting it to be easy is a mistake, one Hurley will never make. He will have them expecting to face the 1986-87 Lakers.
