Kansas Post Game Thread

[OceanDoggie]

Shout out to Malachi. Dude played some big minutes when it looked like Silas might have been rattled by the environment. Down 8 he steadied the offense played some great d was scrappy going after the ball.

Toughest kid on the Team, IMO.

 

[slepers]

The team won because of the production of Riebe and Mullins. Reed, Stewart and Ross are now free to earn their place coming off the bench and contributing as they can. But the future is now.

Why do we make these kind of statements, enjoy the damn win.

 

[blkknight1]

Uh, no. Reed healthy is a top-3 center in the country. Reibe is just the Clingan-lite to his Sanogo.

I’ll take that since that combo won us #5

 

[metsfan2323]

That was Mullins' "C" game. Looking forward to the 40 point "A" game.

Braylon will undoubtedly be the subject of this thread. He appeared to be fully engaged and unrestricted. Brought the instant offense that we needed.
As a result, there will be a change in the starting lineup for the upcoming game. Mullins will take over, while Stewart will be replaced.

Mullins was awesome and lived up to the hype i was hearing. That kid is going to score a lot of points in the NBA. The rest of this season he will be a problem for opposing teams. Good luck stopping him when he gets comfortable. Hes the big story but shout out to Reibe who was awesome tonight. Absolutely big time! Stayed out of foul trouble, scored, blocked shots and rebounded against a pretty good frontcourt. I have no worries the rest of the season about the 5 spot once Reed gets healthy. With the emergence of REibe added to the already big expectations of Mullins who appears primed to do something special as a freshmen this team will be terrifying by March. The caveat will be Demery. If he doesnt clean up the poor decisions it could derail this season since Malachi while being a really nice back up is too shot first a guy to lead this team where it can potentially go.

Nice win in hostile environment without Reed and with mediocre point guard play. Now I see why everyone was so high on Mullins. Good shooter who plays defense and had some clutch rebounds and FTs to ice the game. Reibe had good game and Solo had a good offensive game.

This game helps cure my football related negative mood.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

Well Mullins as advertised. So much to like but those two free throws first two of his CBB career and he no doubts both of them. And he can clearly play the three he looks every bit of 6’6” and he can rebound.

Reibe again gets better learning how not to foul.

Alex is going to benefit so much with Mullins on the floor.

Yup this team was constructed so much better than last year. I think the staff bailed it with this team.

if Silas can become the player we expected, then watch out.

really hoping he can gain confidence during our conference schedule. that talent is there so just seems mental at this point.

 

[Gurleyman]

I think 99.999999% of the board was uber excited for Mullins. This isn’t news you were breaking.

Haha. Yeah. I edited my post with a little apology.

 

[thekollieman]

I think Council is one of the quickest/fastest players I’ve ever watched. Frankly I give credit to Silas for limiting his TOs to 3 in 29 minutes. Played strong defense including a tie-up that turned out to be huge down the stretch. He’s for real, despite the goldfish-term memory of many in the chat.

 

[blkknight1]

Is this the first victory over Kansas or the first victory over Kansas at Kansas?

Both. 0 and 4 before this.

 

[superjohn]

Mullins with the big BALLS.

Most impressed with the rebounding in the 2nd half. AK showed up there and Reibe was great on the boards.

Malachi started the comeback and then didn’t really play, weird because Silas was a complete no show, but we won so who gives a damn.

Solo hit some shots in the second half, boneheaded decision on the last 3 though.

Ross gave energy, needed that because we were stagnant and Stewart didn’t show up.

That’s gonna a huge win for seeding, Kansas is gonna be good.

Yep, i wish Hurley kept Malachi in. Same for the Arizona game at the end.

Controlling the boards was huge and I'm surprised we were able to do it. I like what Ross is giving us this season, I wish Jaylin could find his role.

So happy with that win.

 

[3rdbass]

I tried to tell you all about Mullins. The dude competes. He’s not some scrawny kid who is going to get pushed around. He’s smart, tough and has moxie. His shots won’t always go in - but he brings a ton to the table.

(Sorry, sorry - just one of those times I love being right).

I loved that fade away jumper after driving in from the foul line. That was a thing of beauty.

 

[Chin Diesel]

You've posted this enough times now that I'm pretty sure this isn't trolling and just one of the dumbest opinions possible. Impressive

I'd wager Reed Jr won't be listed as "GTD" the rest of the season.

 

[Boost'ED]

What a game!

Mullins and Reibe.....so composed down the stretch.

Ball a solid game, other than a bad 3 point attempt early in the shot clock with us up by 6, where Kansas hit a 3 on the next possession.

Alex with some big plays as well in the final 3 minutes.

UConn nation...we sleep well tonight.

 

[JakeTheDog]

I hope the dude who said Reibe would get eaten alive tonight by Kansas(in the Tarris GTD thread) can at least admit our boy more than held his own.

 

[TheHorde]

Uh, no. Reed healthy is a top-3 center in the country. Reibe is just the Clingan-lite to his Sanogo.

Double Bigs?!

 

[metsfan2323]

We take him for granted, but Karaban was excellent again.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I’ll take that since that combo won us #5

Yeah different players he and Clingan, but a similar stack. One more game out for Reed and healthy vs Florida. Gonna need him, they’re huge.

 

[TheHorde]

Is this the first victory over Kansas or the first victory over Kansas at Kansas?

First over Kansas anywhere

 

[Dove]

Hurley can’t win close games

That's what they say.

 

[Jimdish255]

Mullins and Reibe the story for me. Frosh creating value and showing they can handle a tough environment. Kansas was hot in the first half but they aren't a great team. We were generally pretty flat but hung in there and got the W. Good night except for the constant Kansas worship by the announcers. Get healthy and we'll find our groove.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

So happy with that win.

There was no reason to take him out and certainly no reason to keep him out. But we won so who gives a darn.

 

[temery]

Demary needs to do some soul searching. terrible game from him when he should be one of our leaders in a tough environment.

he continues to play too passive and deferential. not stressing the defense at all with the ball in his hands, just looking for the next person to pass to.

4 reb, 4 assists, one steal. Not great, but not at all bad.

 

[CTBballfan243]

First victory period against them.

Can't be more impressed with Reibe. Two A+ games in a row from that kid, in a tough place to play. I'm through the moon with how good he's looked.

And yes on Mullins - he's what this team has been missing.

That’s the 5th time we played Kansas. We’re now 1 win and 4 losses. Of the 5 games played, how many were played in Kansas?

 

[gsmooth]

Reibe... 31 mins and only 3 fouls. When we get Reed back what a 1-2 punch.

100. Let Reed sit out against the cupcake on Friday and have him return against Florida.

 

[TroyHall98]

Great win. My only gripe is that we need to find ways for quick, cheap offense. Our Actions, as is no surprise takes so much time to develop. Would have been nice to see a Reibe Lob, or Demery rolls to the rim.

I think we will see this when Demery gets more confident in the system.

 

[my2cents]

Mullins offense looks a lot like Ray Allen. Hard to believe that was only his second college game.

 

[upstater]

Silas will eventually get it, and when he does, this team will be unstoppable. Late January is my guess for when he settles in.

Malachi needs to start practicing his 3s. They are sagging off of him a lot.

He plays excellent ball D and he rebounds too. He’s awesome.

 

[Leebo]

I like how the Kansas board is more interested in taking shots at Hurley than praising the defense of their players. We were getting mismatches, but it seems like we struggled to get the ball to the mismatched players.
