I went to the match in Boca last month, and I'm going to the one in Jax in a few weeks

Well how do some put it "we keep yada yada yada we won't get the conf title and an early exit from the dance."

No kidding? I follow it as well, coach some, my daughter plays high school.

Disruption Stat:
KU 14:14
OU 9:11
KU just disrupts more, even if they aren't protecting well.
Amazing.
If they ever return to protecting well, there are going to be somne huge blow outs.

Interesting. The other sport I follow a lot is women's soccer. Our national team - Olympic gold medalists - was beaten by a collegiate club team in a tune-up last year.

Im going to pat my self on the back. I posted if Withey stays out of foul trouble we win by 14. Sorry missed by one.

Weird that we might end up as the number 1 team depending on what Michigan does tomorrow...
Brian Powell in reply to Wissoxfan83
we'd play a few of them a lot at Robinson, and I always had to guard a Forward... kind of out of position for me, but we canceled each other out :) so I didn't feel like a total waste of space
Jaybate in reply to Wissoxfan83
For sure. I interviewed Marian Washington once when I worked for the UDK and I went to a few of the women's practices. They would have hurt me. :-)
Wissoxfan83 in reply to Jaybate
I played some games with several players on the womens team and never once after that even pretended to think I could play on the woman's team.
Brian Powell
It's so compact because he really uses his legs, his whole body, to get an open shot off. Perfect.
Jaybate in reply to Brian Powell
Yea, playing with D1 players is a humbling thang. :-)
I played some pick up games with Tom Kivisto, Dale Greenlee and Roger Morningstar for a few weeks near the end of the school year. It was not pretty at all. They just seemed to be able to score from anywhere all the time.

Rio bowing to Elijah like a slave to Bwana or Sahib. Kinda like "Pockets" mockingly bowing to John Wayne in Hatari.
Jaybate
Is that a Seth Domeberg doppelganger on OU's bench? Is he handling basketball logistics for Lon? :-)
Brian Powell in reply to Jaybate
1 of 2 NBA players I've played with. Other was Courtney Lee at WKU, but he was on the opposing team and wiped the floor with us.

You must have sat right next to me. Second/thrid row behind the bench, back when students sat over there.

Sometimes EJ really looks like he don't give a damn. I don't get it. He's a Senior. No more after this.

I've googled Embiid and The Rock high school. Nothng. Florida's a FB school but it's still weird.

31.5% freshman year 50.5% sophomore year 47.8% junior year 40.6% senior year
43% for his career
Tim Marshall in reply to Jesse Newell
I agree, Jesse. Hopefully his experience will help him snap out of it.
Marc Frey in reply to Jesse Newell
If we can keep winning with EJ in a slump, then look out when he comes around.

Nice thing about the 80's was we never had to camp for the games. I'd show up 2 hours before and sit right behind the basket on the KU bench side. Awesome seats for the Danny Manning show!
Wissoxfan83 in reply to Lajayhawk
I'm not arguing at all, but what was his freshman percent? By the way he went off last night!
Matt Lacey in reply to Wissoxfan83
Only we honors kids would come up with something so lame, while we were lamenting losing the #1 camping spot due to an idiot that kept not waking up for the 6am shift.
Lajayhawk in reply to Wissoxfan83
Hinrich shot over 50% for a full season at KU. Hard to be better than that.
Brian Powell in reply to Matt Lacey
lol yeah, but he would say "hey mayne" in his Louisiana accent. I threw an alley oop to him from about half court in a pickup game once, in Robinson. Final game of the greek league was next to ours, but everyone was watching our game :)
Jaybate
It is just amazing how guys act that catch the ball in the post against Withey.
They bend over. They cruise around all loooooow. Like that might help. Like maybe they are hoping to see someone to dish to, so they don't have to try to go up. Then after all else fails they give it a lame try.
Wissoxfan83 in reply to Brooksmd
BMac's ability to step back to the line is what amazes me. Most of those guys were more of spot up shooters off a pass. They're all amazing.
Brian Powell
did he land first on that up-and-under? Too many guys do that now, actually landing again before releasing the shot
