Snippets From The Kansas Hoops Board

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Kansas has played at home in 3 of the last 4 seasons of this BE/B12 battle (including this one). My guess is they will be @ UConn next season. If they get another home game, then it's just stupid.

Would they actually have the same matchup two consecutive seasons? Has that ever happened/is it allowed to happen?

 

[ucp990411]

really hope castle is available for this one or mccular is going to be a matchup problem. if he's not i'd be happy with a single digit loss at Phog.

also is KU ever coming to play us at home?? the BE is always getting screwed in these conference battles.

Happy with a single digit loss? I suggest you look for another team to root for.

Go Cutter Chuckers!

Almost as good as “Doomed.”

 

[Tenspro2002]

Playing at KU is a nightmare, but I think it will be good for them in the long run.

Often times, we see a correlation between college teams that know how to win away from home having success in the NCAA tourney - and conversely, teams that only win at home losing earlier than expected in the tourney. I like that this group will have an early season test at one of the most difficult places to play.

On the other hand, we didn't have a single signature road win last year and still beat the s___ out of everyone in March.

No chance. It would be awesome to add a non-con series and I would think we’d have a much easier time to schedule top teams given our current status. Hurley talked about this difficulty with Rothstein.

An aside: what non-conference series’ do we have scheduled for the future? Other than Maui where the draw is Auburn, Colorado, Dayton, Iowa State, Memphis, Michigan State and North Carolina.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Oh com’n, what are the chances of UConn fan spelling all 3 names correctly?

I have a two hats that says "UCONN". If we don't want people getting it wrong, we probably shouldn't advertise it that way.

Yup I was complaining about that when I saw the schedule of us going there. They ncaa marketing machine was no going to let this game happen unless the anointed had a chance to win. Right now I now we beat them at home and from what I have seen we beat them on a neutral court. In their den though that is a game changer. We won’t get a 50/50 call all night.

Not true. 2 home 2 road.

Reading these comments a lot of fans have little brother syndrome when it comes to certain programs.

Point is BE never draws favorable matchups. our best teams either have to play on the road against the other conference’s best or they’re at home against a gimme. Our best never get to play at home against the other conference’s best.

 

[jibsey]

At this point in our season I want to win but most importantly have this game be competitive the whole way. It would be a shame if the refs affect that, last night that happened in the Eagles win against the Bills that was crazy in favor of the Eagles. This OOC win streak thing is kind of a sideline but it would be nuts to take that into conference play. Pretty unlikely?

 

[dennismenace]

To overcome the Kansas home crowd we will have to chuck a lot of cutters.

Also, I think we have a new tongue twister.

Say this 3 times fast:

“One cutter chucker, he chucks cuts”

And new chants:

“CUTTER!” (other side of the arena) “CHUCKERS!”

and

C H U C K …..

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

The White Siberian Husky: A Majestic Sample of Arctic Beauty​

The white husky is a majestic example of Arctic beauty—blessed with a pure white coat that gleams in the sunlight like spun silk and glacial eyes that resemble frozen pools like the depths of serene polar landscapes.
White Siberian Huskies are normal Siberian Huskies. The American Kennel Club accepts totally white Siberian Huskies, allowing them to be registered.

Except when Kansas had to travel to Villanova the first year. It's wild that during this 4 year stretch you see Seton Hall and Butler ranked. Big East–Big 12 Battle - Wikipedia

Not true. 2 home 2 road.

I said including this year.

2020 KU home
2021 KU @ St Johns
2022 KU home
2023 KU home

That's home 3 of the last 4 years...

 

[Hunt for 7]

Look there was no way Self was going to allow his team to come play us at home. He knew even with the addition of Hunter they would be a work in progress. And honestly I think if we played them right now in Gampel we would beat them by double digits if SC was playing. If the Clingan we saw on Friday continues to be the version we see with improvement and with SJ playing himself into a draft pick Hunter is going to be tested.

 

[superjohn]

Not me. We’ve done that. I was in KC for it. I’m excited to see the Huskies visit AFH for the first time. Good for the players and the program. Big test. Win or lose they learn from it and get better.

Kansas considers KC a neutral court? Must be nice.

 

[Palatine]

Thanks for your interest in samoyed basketball.

Go ahead. Call me a Samoyed again.

Duke of the midwest

 

[Jimdish255]

This is a game where we won't get as many free throws as the other team. We have to make the ones we get. Also need to be effective inside so we're not forcing from the perimeter. Our outside shooting has been very good so far this, season but it's sometimes best to ease into that part of the game in a new building until you adjust to the environment, site lines etc. And be careful of early fouls (Clingan, Karaban). We need all our dogs in the pack giving us minutes. An occasional 2pts. conceded won't lose this game but time on the bench will. And Dickinson is a dirty player and a nasty flopper. He watches the refs then initiates contact, and plays that arm hook like a violin. Hurley should have that chat pre-game

 

[HuskyHawk]

Yes. Just like we do at MSG. They don't play any home games there. It's not like XL.

Self has no say in it. Both UConn and KU were slated to be on the road this year in the challenge. So to force the matchup they obviously wanted, somebody would need to be home again. The more natural choice is the more iconic arena with the higher capacity.

Unlike Duke, KU routinely plays home and homes against schools like Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. I really think that if UConn fans show up at AFH like I expect, and spend money in Lawrence, we'll be on the short list for a future home and home. Texas probably will be too once they join the SEC.

You do realize that MSG is 141 miles away and in another state, correct?

Lawrence to Kansas City is pretty much the same distance as from Storrs to Hartford:

Is it though? in any event 37 miles is a lot different than 141 miles.

You get so weird about KU.

 

[HuskyHawk]

It is. 42 miles more or less, but given where the alumni of each school actually live, Storrs is a misleading starting point. Most UConn fans are in greater Hartford, New Haven and in Fairfield Cty. Both schools clearly have advantages at those sites, depending on the opponent. Hurley called it Storrs South the other day.

It doesn't matter. It was a KU home game back when we played at Kemper. No question about it.
