Anyone else think this ESPN+ Creation is completely idiotic?
Tonight’s game is on ESPN2.

Compared to Mak? Lol

Mak is way better in my opinion
To me it’s kinda like answering the question is it better to die drowning or in a car accident. Take your pick.

The thing that gets me is that other Big 12 teams come into Allen Field House and it doesn't really faze them. They often play up to their potential. They may not win, but they play well. We come into Lawrence and FOLD! Why? We look so nervous and unprepared that it's just sickening.
They play scared every time. We should be letting the three's fly, it's our only chance. Instead, Sneed turns down open look after open look.

KU with 18 points from their bench. We have 2.

That's nearly half of their first half points.

So much for KU's lack of depth. Wasn't someone lamenting that earlier today?

Honestly, this is just about what I expected so not infuriated or embarrassed or disappointed. It just is what it is this year.

We have 4 guys playing a lot of the minutes who have never experienced going to the ku barn. And the two road games they’ve played so far were probably the least intimidating of all the big 12 roadies.

Ku has also gotten tremendous bench production tonight from guys they don’t normally get much from. One already has his career high.

I just want the frosh to continue to get minutes and experience and build of a real dislike for ku so hopefully when the play in Manhattan this year it will be a different story but even more, for their next 3 years. I think this class and the next one have a real chance of winning multiple games in Lawrence and yes I realize I haven’t even seen most of them play yet.

I always want to win, but I’d rather lose by 20 doing things the right way then win by 20 cheating.

Wow, that’s kind of dark Puff, but it does illustrate your point perfectly.

Our three freshmen have combined for 2 points and 1 rebound. Welcome to "Nervousville".

It’s like the old saying ‘sun shines on a dogs backside some days too’, it just seems like something like this happens against the cats more than not. Braun has a season high and in the first half. He got two clean open looks at 3’s and nailed them. We needed to get a hand up and guard better.

This ku team is very beatable, just not likely tonight.

Braun having his "Austin Reeves" game against us. Expect many bricked three's after tonight.
