KU @ WVU : Official Big12 #11 Game thread

[pdub]

We won in 13, 18 and 20.
3-5 there since they joined.
Sweep this year.

I love good defense. It allows you to do so many things less than great and still win.

How hilarious that we play so bad when I was watching. As soon as i sit down on my train, I see we win by almost 10. Maybe I should not watch anymore games this year.

I had the opposite tonight. Met buddies for beer after work so didnt tune in until 2nd half when already down 6. Ended up winning by 9 so they were a solid +15 in the game that I saw. And even that was ugly until we started turning over every possession. That was sweet.

Another example of why +/- is a meaningless stat a lot of the time!

Our margin for error is probably the biggest in the country.

I hate Tony Bennett teams, but this KU team resembles the 2019 UVA team.

It would be nice if we found just a little bit more from the perimeter before March.

So...

KU still plays at Baylor and at Tech.

Baylor still plays At WVU, WVU, KU, and Tech.

They get WVU this Saturday while we get OU.

So, KU pulled a Mahomes tonight? I had to stop watching when we were down 5. I look forward to the highlights.

I think tonight we discovered the right mix. Moss played very well.

Mahomes doesn't play on defense.

As I mentioned, something didn’t seem right about him.

Let's not forget that West Virginia is not a very good offensive team. They can't shoot either and while Culver and that Oscar kid are both really talented, they both have some serious holes in their game.

But it is flat out tough to win in that building against that coach's team, especially when the refs swallow their whistle for the first 30 minutes before finally deciding to haphazardly reapply their attention to the wrestling match breaking out in the paint. If they didnt start calling a few more fouls down the stretch, we might have had Stoolmageddon II with Dok shoving Huggy Bear off his stool and picking it up, only to drop it after tearing a wrist ligament in the process.

And we got to see some Dok FT's, which always makes me smile.

He is featured heavily in the secret play hard chart.
