Haven't seen such an @@@ kicking in Hilton like that since ISU had a CSP team, and we weren't doing the kicking.

You want the man not to sleep or eat?!? That might take until the next practice
He's already started to fix those forced shots. He was patient last night and just torched Tech's posts.
That was so f*cking embarrassing. Not just an end of the bench walk-on, but a g*ddamn student manager.
Hard to believe that was just two years ago.
If Lipsey cares more about his stat line, he can easily average 12-15 points per game. He just needs to shoot more which may not be the best thing for this team

I have clearer memories of the Fizer/Tinsley Elite 8 season than I do that trainwreck in 2020-21. Even though I was only 10/11 years old for the former. Copious amount of alcohol helped me forget. It was needed too, because I never quit on that team. Watched every game that season start to finish for the most part.
I think Adams is in danger of completely losing that team. Seen a lot of good teams come in to Hilton and get beat, but this group was finished well before halftime. You could tell by their demeanor. They looked beat even when the score was close.
So unless this was their "Iowa" game like ISU had a month ago......Tech better regroup fast or it's going to get out of control.......if it already isn't.

Agreed. I thought Tech started the 2nd half with great intensity/movement and went on a little run in the first few minutes to cut the lead to 14/15 points (with the ball), iirc. Tech bench and fans behind the bench were back into the game. We answered immediately and grew the lead back to 20+. That seemed to kill any positive energy Tech had. Fun to essentially end the game by the under-12 timeout.
Glad they both played. Pop is a really good outside shooter (made at least 4 threes in their last 3 games) but we had him extremely flustered last night.
Batcho was on a tear in non-conference play. One the most improved players in the country. He's just a freak athlete. He's been very pedestrian in Big 12 play though.
Will be interesting to see what happens with the future of Tech basketball. They have all kinds of problems internally. Will lose Obanor for sure but all their other important pieces could return next year. Doesn't look like it will matter when or if Fardaws returns this year. 0-4 likely to be 0-5 after Saturday (@ Texas) is likely too deep of hole to climb out of in the Big 12. Their non-conference resume was unimpressive as well.
I normally feel kinda bad for the teams not named Kansas that we destroy...but not last night. This embarrassment is still fresh in my mind.
god, those two blocking calls that should have been charges at ~18:30 and 17:30 in the second half...wow.
Yeah, pretty much anytime you lead with your off arm you should get that call.
I was confused last night when TT went to the line with a couple minutes gone in the second half. It looked like a common foul to me, and it seemed like he was shooting a 1 and 1. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention.
Is Osun still up in the 80s% I think he was earlier in the yr.
@Sigmapolis who are our best free throw shooters this yr?
That postgame interview with Holmes was incredible. Was up there with one of the best I've heard.
My favorite was probably Monte after that Iowa game when Heft was asking him about Uthoff scoring 30 first half points and Monte replying, "Oh, how many he get in the 2nd half?"
It's been a while since I've seen us steal the soul of a team like last night. When Lipsey shot that midrange shot, missed it, then just put it back up and in and nobody contested either you knew they were just done.
Technically Eli King (with a sample size of 4/4).
In terms of guys who play significant minutes, though...
Osunniyi
Kunc
Kalscheur
Lipsey
Grill
...are all >70% from the line. None are elite, though.
You kind of figure that is at least a part of the recipe in Lawrence. You are playing a good team, albeit they have cheated to get there and to stay there. Then you add the obligitory home brew from the refs.
I hope we can beat them there, this year, if not sooner, haha. It's not soon enough! I mean, we beat them there last year, but I guess that didn't count.
