This could be like NC/ Duke. That was pure electricity last night. If only Martin would stay.
Gavin
Mario Chalmers’ shot wasn’t what sealed the championship for KU. That shot sealed a tie game at the end of regulation.
Ptolemy, you okay little buddy? I know your talk of mass suicide of KU fans after K-State’s season sweep (I still think that was a damn funny joke, by the way) was just transferring your own fears and insecurities. I just want to know you’re okay.
___
GH: Thanks for the correction, Gavin. Not sealed, but rather saved.

LOL, you sure have come a long way since the “AINT PLAYED NOBODY!!” days of about 3 weeks ago. Get on the band wagon, there is plenty of room.
and …
I suppose you love douchebag dickhead unvital. Give me Bobby Knight any game, at least Bobby has intersting, NONcanned, things to say. Who needs captain obvious saying shit like “They really need to make the free throws here” ? uh, no shit sherlock.
—————–
Who knows what will happen down the road, but this is going to be fun.
Thank goodness for the greatest show in a 500 mile radius. This Jayhawk team acts and play more professional than the supposed pro teams we have. The Royals and Chefs ownership has ruined once great teams.
Thank goodness for THE MIGHTY KANSAS JAYHAWK MENS BASKETBALL TEAM. YIIPPPEEE!!

My guess is Michael Beasley watched KU@KSU on one of the multiple 64-inch plasma TVs in his Home Entertainment Center and thought, “Man, I’m sure glad I can watch the game on one of these” … if he was even aware they were playing.

GH: Mo, He bought that 64-inch plasma in Manhattan two years ago to watch Sponge Bob on.

“Coach asked me what I wanted to run…”
That’s some coaching there Bill. No coach of the year award for you.
Kansas was not impressive. They needed lots of help from the stripes to beat a mistake-prone KState team. The missed foul at the end of regulation was forgiveable if you use the adage that refs let them play at the end of the game — unless you take the call in Collins’ favor at the end of the OT into account. What was that? If anything, that was an offensive foul on Collins. Pathetic.
califbill
who cares? Only people in kansas! Boring.
joel
“I know the Antlers have recorded these words and are currently at work to make sure Collins eats them after his senior-day visit to Columbia on March 6th.”
The Antlers are a bunch of pussies. You have consistently given them more credit than they are due over the years.
Facts
Only pussies, wimps and losers whine about the refs, it is, what it is.

MrOlathe
Duke-UNC is a bit overated for atmosphere. At Cameron you have a few thousand nerds doing rehearsed chants. These people just started hating UNC their freshman year. But at KSU (and KU & MU) you’ve hated KU your whole life. And it’s not a staged, fake hatred. It’s real. And it got real loud!
There PT, that’s a compliment to you. Now, seriously, right now. Tell me that you would take Martin over Self. Do it. And you’re going to question his coaching? EVERY other coach would have fouled on KU’s last possesion before Collins took it in and made the layup…..but not Martin. Much to learn my friend, much to learn!
SweetRelish
Ptolemy, that’s astute analysis! The refs numerous no calls on the multiple muggings and over the backs that happened all night are surely to blame for KState being mistake prone, as you suggested. It must have been the refs fault that on one defended Collins on his drive to the bucket or boxed out Aldrich on his rebound of the missed free throw. Why not admit that, in a close game, play-makers either win or lose it for you (something that Coach Self obviously understands) and the KU play makers made it happen last Sat night.
Dexter Morgan
A much closer game than it should have been. Kansas missed no less than 8 point-blank gimme shots, uncontested. Just flat out missed. Clemente banked in a 3-pointer. No telling how many points were tallied from free throws on fouls that never should have been called. Seemed like both teams were always at the line.
That officiating crew decided before the opening tip that they were going to dictate the flow of the game instead of letting the players play ball. You could see it right out of the gate.
Bad officiating is the same in every sport. You know it when you see it whether your team wins or loses. When the bozos in the striped shirts have itchy trigger fingers you get robbed of great moments, incredible sequences and little pockets of action that deserve to be given a chance to unfold. Let the players play. That game Saturday was dragging around a ball and chain disguised as three trigger happy zebras.
nick
PHENOMENAL game. Sucks that a team had to lose, but I feel fortunate it wasn’t the Hawks.
Tyshawn made me a nervous wreck late in the game.
It’s my opinion that when Sherron got stuck and made a bad pass, he was looking towards Taylor, hoping Taylor would cut to the open space towards the basket. Taylor JUST STOOD THERE. I was screaming, “get open Taylor!”. Instead, Sherron just threw it up high towards Taylor, hoping he’d get it.
I like Taylor’s offensive skills, but he doesn’t do many of the little things that Brady does. But I think he’ll figure it out eventually.
The refs did a great job overall.
But why all the bickering on only the Reed play? Anyone see the very obvious kicked ball that led to a crucial K-State fast break bucket? Or how about Taylor getting whacked HARD on the arm on a drive in OT that again led to a K-State bucket.
The half-time guys said how happy K-State must feel being down only 2. I agree. Cole and Marcus Morris must have missed 5 or 6 layups or put backs. I was very impressed with Kansas’ poise in the 1st half.
JimmyD
It will be a lot more fun to win at Allen Field House and end the streak
Typical Ptolemy
Complains about the ref’s in a loss. “The missed foul at the end of regulation” – there was no foul the ball was tapped out cleanly.

JimmyD….It will be a lot more fun to be a fluffer at the SI Swimsuit Photo Shoots…..but that ain’t happening either! Fear the Hawktagon!!!!!

INTERESTING STAT:
K-State’s longest win-streak in Bramlage: 15 games
KU’s longest win-streak in Bramlage: 18 games
Nice
you can say that again…

MrOlathe
Hey….does anyone know if/when the game will be replayed on tv? Metro sports?
GEG
It is absolutely amazing how “knowledgable” fans see how a game is officiated. ALWAYS against their team. The winner of that game was going to be LUCKY.
Ptolemy
Well thank you guys for confirming that the refs blew it big time. There’s no greater confirmation than for a bunch of Squawks to start screeching that ALL refs miss calls and Coal and the Hanson Bros. missed “wide open” putbacks – NOTE: they missed them because they had Kelly, Samuels, and Sutton in their heads.
And Collins also benefitted by a no-called backcourt violation.
nick
The refs didn’t blow anything. Overall, I think the officiating balanced out. Each team can probably bitch about 4 or 5 plays.
K-State is who blew it.
Tyshawn gift-wraps 2 late turnovers, Sherron hands another present to the Wildcats, Marcus fouls out with 4 minutes left in OT and Sherron misses a good chunk late and K-State STILL couldn’t win it?
It must really suck to think about the game from a K-State perspective.
dp
I agree with facts. I was at the game, 10 rows from the floor. There were about 10 bad/no calls each way. Two great teams battled, the team I wanted lost, but I’m not gonna blame the refs. We (KSU) had our chances and battled from down 8 to take the lead. KU won by 1 in the 1st half, KSU won by 1 in the second half…About an even of a game as you could play.
The only thing eating a me was why KSU didn’t try to double or run another defender at Collins to trap and try to get the ball out of his hands. Make him dish or beat 2 guys…I want to make Taylor or Morningstar or a Morris bro hit a big shot, or make they try to throw a lob to Aldrich…anything but Collins one on one…
Glow1
Hey, lets cut Ptolemy some slack. I mean, it sucks when you lose the biggest game on your schedule year after year after year on your home court. I would be grumpy too.
Gavin
Glow1, you’re being too kind. it’s not that Ptolemy doesn’t have the right to be grumpy. His team choked one away and, rather than deal with that reality, he is choosing to don the whiny, punk-ass bitch suit and complain about the officiating. There are other K-State fans on here who have the same right as Ptolemy to be grumpy, but they concede that on that night in that game, KU won it. No whining from them, so why give Ptolemy a break?
Ptolemy, meanwhile, stakes his claim as being the most ridiculous poster on this board (Non-jojo Division) by promising a K-State season sweep and predicting mass suicides of KU fans in the wake of that sweep. When it doesn’t happen, Ptoelmy doesn’t come on here and accept that it wasn’t K-State’s year for a sweep (or even just stay the hell away), he blames the officials, a punk-ass bitch move if ever there was one. When people point out the punk-ass bitchery of the move and that there are always bad calls that go both ways he, in his juvenile manner, decides that the fact that everyone disagreeing with him only proves his point.
I think the problem is that Ptolemy is eleven years old. If KU beats his beloved K-State in Bramlage East, his next move will be to stomp his feet and hold his breath and say that KU cheated because… He won’t have any reason to assert this, but, like so many K-State fans, Ptolemy has a chip on his shoulder and cannot fathom that KU is K-State’s daddy so there must be some kind of cheating or consipriacy on behalf of the Big XII or the officials or something because if the game was fair, K-State would win more than once out of every 30 tries.
I suggest that we all start thinking up creative suggestions for Ptolemy to use for the next time KU beats K-State. Obviously, he will always rely on “KU cheated,” “the officials sucked” and, probably find a way to blame the league, but let’s try and help him out with something a bit more clever. I’ll start:
K-State would have won by twenty if KU hadn’t been playing them on Senior Night. The Beakers obviously bribed the league to schedule them on Sherron Collins’ last game in Bramlage East. Also, on K-State’s fourth possession Denis Clemente was called “a Mexican” by a KU fan and eveyone knows that Clemente is Puerto Rican and not only is it racist to call Clemente “Mexican,” it totally threw off Clement’s game the whole night. If that didn’t happen, Clemente totally would have dropped forty on the Squawkers.
Uncle Dick
“non jojo division”- brilliant! Too bad the little twit doesn’t post earlier in the morning, so I could forego my cup of black coffee and bran muffin.
Look Down Here!
Collins is a fine basketball player. Too bad he likes to expose himself in elevators.
MrOlathe
Allegedly!
Look Down Here!
Yeah, that’s right, “allegedly.” Where would KU athletics be without that word?
Uncle Dick
Collins was just trying to be a gentleman. His hands were full and he wanted to push the floor button for the lady.
Look Down Here!
Hilarious, Uncle Dick. Do you have any daughters?
Look Down Here!
BTW. Gavin, you sound like an obnoxious prick. Get over yourself. Are you trying to rival JoJo for post lengths? Go fuck yourself.
Gavin
Hey, Look Down Here, I am an obnoxious prick but at least I don’t do multiple posts with sock puppet names to pick fights. And I’m sorry that your inferior education has made it so tough for you to read five whole paragraphs.
Look Down Here!
Dear Gavin,
Go fuck yourself.
Gavin
Boy. you’re really clever aren’t you? I”ve never heard anyone say “go fuck yourself” with such vigor even once, let alone two times. I mean, that was a beatdown of epic proportions, you sock puppet. Somebody get me a cut man over here. A sock puppet just told me to fuck myself. How will I ever get to sleep tonight?
Given the clear intellect behind “go fuck yourself,” as well as the fact that you’re stuttering/repeating yourself in addition to the fact that you can’t get through five paragraphs of reading without getting angry at all the big words, I have to ask, were you oxygen-deprived during birth? Because, if you suffered some sort of traumatic brain injury, then you are to be congratulated for being able to type out “go fuck yourself,” despite the fact that it’s clear you don’t know how to type much more than that. Still, impressive work, for a bran-damaged sock puppet.
I know, I know. Go fuck myself.
Look Down Here!
And he just keeps coming back for more … it’s just too easy. Ha. Gavin. What a joke.
GFY.
Gavin Fan
Gavin,
HEHEHEHEEHE … good stuff man, good stuff.
PS
ONLY pussies wimps and losers complain about refs. I have come to the conclusion that I can not see sht when it come it BBall( or football for that matter ) ( fkn refs ) …what I KNOW is a foul is not called, what I see as nothing is nothing is an offenseive foul, who fkn knows??? Thewn you throw in that fkn NBA ref who admitted cheating, and he went to prison ….welll …. It is what it is., DO NOT COMPLAIN, IT IS BAD FORM …. like ….
When that ref took a away a KU win by taking away a touchdown and handed that football win to Colorado, on phantonm calls, I said NOTHING. No one respects people who whine about refs ……everyone knows ref suck. THAT IS WHY they make them wear such STUPID CLOTHES ; )
I AM NOT SAYING the calls on Saturday were gfood or bad ,who knows. It was a close game, NO ONE DOMINATED. but in the end KU IS RANKED #1 TONIGHT YIPPPEEEE!!!!
More impressive is were knocked off, AND WE CAME BACK AGAIN!!! YES YES YES !!!
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/rankings
I dont know nothing, except that the final score, that is why I DO NOT MAKE PREDICTIONS about MY MIGHTY KANSAS JAYHAWK MENS BASKETBALL TEAM winning every Championship for the next 10 years.
On paper, it is ours, but if you figure in the “variables”, who fkn knows? but, it sure is fun to watch, win or lose … THATS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME.

Gav, it is just me or are these intellectual heayweights making Sybil look like Stephen Hawking? I’m so impressed with their clever retorts and well thought out responses, that I am going to suggest to Hearne that he give them their own pages, so we can be enlightened and entertained on a regular basis. Maybe then the Nobel Prize committee will recognize their vast contributions and award accordingly. People that are obvious illegal substance abusers and Cartoon Network devotees, I would suggest counselling in order for them to function at a level higher than their obvious limitations now allow.
Ptolemy
Notice that NONE of the screeching Squawks have tried to make the case that:
1. Reed did not foul Sutton not once but twice at the end of regulation.
2. Colling was not in fact illegally in the backcourt while in possession of the ball on the floor.
3. Collins was not fouled by Judge in the act of shooting at the end of OT and was in fact the initiator of all contact with Judge.
Just establishing some facts for the record.
stfu
shut up you whining bitch, only pussies wimps and losers complain about refs.
STFU
Who know what calls were what, (whomever does?) but loser whiney homers like you ONLY focus on calls which, in your opinion, hurt your team. Oh well, move on.
I never whine about refs. When that ref took a away a KU win by taking away a touchdown and handed that football win to Colorado, on phantonm calls, I said NOTHING. No one respects people who whine about refs
SM
Ptolemy = 0 for 3.
MrOlathe
PT-If you are just talking to get a rise out of KU fans, that’s fine. It’s fun and all. But you can’t possibly believe the things you write, do you? Perhaps you are the one student in the Kevin Keitzman class “Making up Shit to fit the K-State Perspective”. I’m sure it makes you feel better. But that chip ain’t gonna get any smaller until you come join the rest of us in the real world. Just remember: We are here to help little buddy!
Jayhawk Fan
I would like to give props to KSU for raising in the rankings after a loss, that is rare. KSU looked good, they deserve the bump and I am happy for them. KSU’s RPI has been high all season, and I look forwrd to them making the big dance, which is more than anyone can say for moronU, those idiots are headed for another another another dismal …. well, pretty much a dismal everything.
Typical Ptolemy
Fine Ptussy I’ll respond for you:
1. Reed did not foul Sutton not once but twice at the end of regulation.: The ball was cleanly struck from Sutton’s hands as was easily evident in the replay – the announcers replayed the video and both comented that it was a good non-call – I will take their word and my own eyes over your whiny ass opinion.
2. Colling was not in fact illegally in the backcourt while in possession of the ball on the floor. – the rule of a back-court violation states:”Should an offensive player lose control of the ball in the front court, due to their own error, and the ball cross the mid court line back into the back court , the offensive team cannot regain possession of the ball without having a back court violation (over and back) called.” Because the ball was tipped out of Collins hands it was NOT a back-court violation.
3. Collins was not fouled by Judge in the act of shooting at the end of OT and was in fact the initiator of all contact with Judge.: When a dribbler, without contact, passes an opponent sufficiently to have head and shoulders beyond the front of the opponent
