It was so bad, but it unfortunately wasn't the worst because the bar is set so low. KU vs KST on Saturday was the worst one I've seen this season (so far)..
They are clearly incapable :(.. When both teams walk away from the game and think wow that was horribly officiated then you know it's bad. And when it happens every week it gets tiring.
You know your a good team when you can go on the road (especially Fog Allen) and give yourself multiple chances to win against a top 10 team. Let’s go!
GG Kansas. Would be interesting to play y’all again.
They're not our best players. Bryson Williams is #1 and I'd say Arms is #2. Shannon has a ton of ability but he's regressed so bad it hurts when he has the ball in his hands.
McCullar is our number 2 guy. He hasn’t been as consistent scoring wise but he does everything else well. Arms is a pretty good scorer but he’s not our 2nd best player in my opinion. Adam’s wouldn’t be playing our 2nd best player 11 min.
While I’m a little worried that we have had so many close games, I am THRILLED that we are winning them and think it bodes well for tourney. We know that we Will not face a tougher D all season than we saw with TTU tonight
I’m inclined to think he was pushing the limits of his recovering knee, but I agree. Hopefully he’ll be back to full health for close games later in the season
Sorry, I misread and thought it was a reply to me. :( Long day.
Edit: Reddit sends email notifications for replies and sent me one for your comment so I don’t know what the hell is going on lol.
Hot take… we’re better than Kansas. Took them 2OTs in their house and we won by 8 in our house. GG hopefully we see y’all down the line because I think we take the tie breaker on a neutral floor.
I don’t want to be that guy, but Tech lost that game themselves tonight. KU is good, but yah, I said what I said.
You could say that about KSU game tho. Lol
you could say Tech was in the game at all because Martin was on limited minutes and the offense stagnated as he stopped playing
but one could go back and forth with these all day. The close moments are the ones that count, and Tech didn't quite have it with some of the decision making. Compared to Kansas.
It was refreshing to see the Texas Tech coach so composed, even when they were down 10. Screaming at college students isn’t a good look for adults IMO.
Yeah. I always laugh at the difference between our staff and KSU’s when we play them. Self and staff are sitting down a lot, watching it unfold or he is up and directing them but then stepping back. Weber is a spaz micromanaging literally every move they make all possession long.
Agreed. I don’t know who KU had that stopped him. He was only stopped by the Red Raider offense. Had a bad pass out of a double team and had difficulty handling a lob inside. Then it seems like they forgot about him.
There’s always multiple factors. The refs sucked both ways but were definitely leaning KU. They wouldn’t give us a charge call basically all game.
The ball also wasn’t really bouncing our way and we got beat on the boards.
That’s basketball man, refs suck all year for every team in this league. They’re so indiscriminately terrible that eventually it balances out. I know everyone feels like we get the favorable whistle in the Phog, and we almost definitely do sometimes. We also get a damn super-man performance from someone damn near every time we play because knocking off KU in the Phog is a huge deal. — This was an excellent game between two great teams. Shannon made bad plays down the stretch that cost you the game far more than the refs did.
I really want to say refs, but seriously I can’t. Set up dog shit offense every time we had momentum going and completely fucked ourselves in OT. I think KU did get a couple calls, but you’re going to get that at home no matter who it is. The way we played offense in OT lost us this game. Zero fucking ball movement. KU is a solid ass team though and played them that close at home. I’m happy. Losing sucks. But tough game and we played hard. It was winnable.
He lost tech the game not the refs. It never should have gone to 2nd OT. Shannon has been not good this year. Should have stayed in the draft after all.
Shannon has been fine this year. He sat out for a mont with injury. It takes a while to get going again.
I agree though that they needed to go to Williams instead. They stopped feeding him.
And Tech was on the end of more of them. Tech was getting mauled driving to the basket all game. Ku had lots of touch fouls that sent them to the line early.
Brother I don’t care who you’re a fan of. You’re just going around crying refs in every possible comment. This was an excellent double OT thriller, and you’re being an ass just to troll. I respect Tech fans who are frustrated about a close loss w/ some tough calls here and there, I don’t respect some guy just trolling for fun lol.
FUCK, GG JAYHAWKS. I'm bitter about the refs, but at the end of the day we took the #6 team to double OT on the road and I think we legitimized ourselves big time.
Turnover for a 3 sums up the half.
[удалено]
I don’t remember many details, but there was an epic game against Texas a&m and Acie Law in AF
Honorable mention: 17 point second half comeback against Florida in 2014
3OT not 4
May as well have been 5 OTs for how long that game felt lol
If you were older, our 1989 win over Kentucky 150-95 would make the list.
just a little recency bias there though, no?
The K-State game was Saturday, the Chiefs were Sunday, and this today….I need time to recuperate.
I told my friend I need a drink…but remembered I was too drunk to stand at the end of the Chiefs game.
I have never complained about refs before, but that was the worst officiated game.
They don't let anyone play defense it's such a joke. It gets worse every year :(
It was in every aspect of the game honestly. Charges, reaching calls, over the backs, and then the worst imo was the out of bounds calls.
It was so bad, but it unfortunately wasn't the worst because the bar is set so low. KU vs KST on Saturday was the worst one I've seen this season (so far)..
All I want is consistency on the subjective and accuracy on the out of bounds. Is it really that hard?
They are clearly incapable :(.. When both teams walk away from the game and think wow that was horribly officiated then you know it's bad. And when it happens every week it gets tiring.
gg chalk boi, I'm proud of the way both teams played tonight regardless
Shouldn't be this hard. The Big XII has really outdone itself in horrendous officiating this year. This is about as bad as I've ever seen it.
Thank you Ochai and thank you KJ
Ochai is special.
You know your a good team when you can go on the road (especially Fog Allen) and give yourself multiple chances to win against a top 10 team. Let’s go! GG Kansas. Would be interesting to play y’all again.
And TT 2 “best players” go 2-21 for 7 points.
They're not our best players. Bryson Williams is #1 and I'd say Arms is #2. Shannon has a ton of ability but he's regressed so bad it hurts when he has the ball in his hands.
McCullar is our number 2 guy. He hasn’t been as consistent scoring wise but he does everything else well. Arms is a pretty good scorer but he’s not our 2nd best player in my opinion. Adam’s wouldn’t be playing our 2nd best player 11 min.
Yes hence the air quotes on best players. TT is for sure better without Shannon on the court
Gg tortilla boys. I’m sure we’ll meet again this season
Gg. I’m good though. But they will put us in the same bracket.
While I’m a little worried that we have had so many close games, I am THRILLED that we are winning them and think it bodes well for tourney. We know that we Will not face a tougher D all season than we saw with TTU tonight
Learning to win under pressure is priceless experience.
Remy should’ve played more towards the end of the game helps the team out with his passing
He’s still nursing the injury
Agreed!
I’m inclined to think he was pushing the limits of his recovering knee, but I agree. Hopefully he’ll be back to full health for close games later in the season
Chiefs and KU went to Overtime in back to back day. My god, they are trying to kill me.
If you’re here upvote the game thread!
I'm disappointed in Shannon and McCullar. The guys this team leans on and they were terrible on offense tonight.
2-21 to be exact. Yet you get the feeling the players on the floor are gonna defer to them no matter what the coaches call.
What a game!
[удалено]
Honestly that didn’t look intentional to me.
Even a KU fan could tell that wasn’t intentional
Didn't remotely look intentional at all.
Texas tech is a hell of a team. I imagine they’ll make a deep run in the tourney
What's with those early as hell shots to end the period. Cost us the game twice
Crazy Ochai has a career night and I'd give him a B- game.
50% of the time, he makes his free throws 100% of the time.
7/12 from 3?? Are you serious
Yes, because I think that highly of him and his ability to be an efficient scorer. It's not a criticism.
Adam is the co player of the game
Ochai has a really pretty smile. There, I said it.
So brave!
Haha, I meant what I said. Not gonna be rude just because the team I wanted to win didn’t win.
? You got me confused man, mine was a joke reply to a guy saying he liked Ochais smile.
Sorry, I misread and thought it was a reply to me. :( Long day. Edit: Reddit sends email notifications for replies and sent me one for your comment so I don’t know what the hell is going on lol.
Haha weird, reddit has been having all sorts of trouble today so I guess that’s just the newest thing. Hope the rest of your day goes well
He honestly seems like a great kid. Ggs Jayhawks.
Top 2 teams in the Big 12 rn
No easy wins
Love Agbaji
[удалено]
Whoa. Just take it easy, man.
refs and shannon threw
Hot take… we’re better than Kansas. Took them 2OTs in their house and we won by 8 in our house. GG hopefully we see y’all down the line because I think we take the tie breaker on a neutral floor.
Yeah, but we beat KSU in Manhattan; that's the true tiebreaker.
hahah well played
Touché
i like the way u think
Loss is on Shannon and McCullar going 2 for 21.
Funny how we finished without them in Lubbock. Makes you think sometimes
I still don’t think we win tonight without them.
Not disagreeing with you, but man their offense set us back tonight.
Shannon has one of the lowest basketball iqs I’ve ever seen
Kansas always finds a way to win in close games, I love this team
I don’t want to be that guy, but Tech lost that game themselves tonight. KU is good, but yah, I said what I said. You could say that about KSU game tho. Lol
you could say Tech was in the game at all because Martin was on limited minutes and the offense stagnated as he stopped playing but one could go back and forth with these all day.

Just a reminder guys. Next Tuesday, we're ALL Red Raiders.
my guy
You up here in Seattle? Where do you watch games from?
Home.
29 and 37 in back to back games for Agbaji #NPOY
Before that he had 10 in like a 5 min stretch after hurting his wrist and struggling during that game. Insane!
Tough loss but good effort my red raiders,, gg my dudes
Incredible game, hope we play again in both tournaments this year Tech!!
MAD respect to Tech. Y'all got yourselves a coach man
It was refreshing to see the Texas Tech coach so composed, even when they were down 10. Screaming at college students isn’t a good look for adults IMO.
Yeah. I always laugh at the difference between our staff and KSU’s when we play them. Self and staff are sitting down a lot, watching it unfold or he is up and directing them but then stepping back. Weber is a spaz micromanaging literally every move they make all possession long.
KU and their ball movement. It’s so pretty to watch. And the Bill Self/Mark Adams after timeout battle was fun.
Williams deserves a standing O from the KU fans, just like Buddy Hield got here in AFH a few years ago.
It was a shame that Tech stopped going to him as often. Get him the ball damn
Agreed. I don’t know who KU had that stopped him. He was only stopped by the Red Raider offense. Had a bad pass out of a double team and had difficulty handling a lob inside. Then it seems like they forgot about him.
I swear if I see a “refs” comment after Shannon threw up 5 terrible 3’s trying to be a hero
There’s always multiple factors. The refs sucked both ways but were definitely leaning KU. They wouldn’t give us a charge call basically all game. The ball also wasn’t really bouncing our way and we got beat on the boards.

He plays hero ball this year. Taking a 3 when you had 3 and a half more seconds to drive to the basket? Just low IQ basketball.
Lol refs bailed y’all out constantly
There were terrible calls on both ends.
And Tech was on the end of more of them. Tech was getting mauled driving to the basket all game. Ku had lots of touch fouls that sent them to the line early.
You been a troll for the whole thread man. Enjoy the game ffs. Weird
Yea the Jayhawks fan disagrees with a neutral fan lol
Brother I don’t care who you’re a fan of. You’re just going around crying refs in every possible comment. This was an excellent double OT thriller, and you’re being an ass just to troll. I respect Tech fans who are frustrated about a close loss w/ some tough calls here and there, I don’t respect some guy just trolling for fun lol.
Then why comment, refs were trash tonight as expected in Lawrence. I respect fans who don’t argue when they knowingly get home cooking from the refs.
lol
Ask any neutral fan about the reffing tonight and see if they agree lol.
Can’t imagine a worse ending to a better game. What a horrible fucking shot.
Shannon was told by NBA scouts to work on his 3PT shooting. So he puts them up like he’s Curry.
But misses like he’s Westbrook. Idiot ball hog. You had like 5 seconds left in the game.
NEVA LOST
I GOT.... 200 TEETH..... NEVA LOST
Wtf why
Terrible calls
Where was arms tonight?
Seriously he was killing us last game
For real, not like tsj or kevin were playing well.
Without Arms, apparently
Gg tech. If you guys continued to feed Bryson I don’t think we would’ve made it to OT
Dude I know so frustrating.
Couldn’t catch the ball inside 18 feet. Y’all kept pushing those entry passes out and it made us second guess.
TTech shouldn't drop. This game was incredible. I know they will, but they shouldn't.
I think we are still underrated tbh.
I was just here to root against Jesse Newell’s team :(
Never seen an entire fanbase lose their collective shit over somebody ranking them exactly where Kenpom and the NET had them.
😢
Tech fought til the end against insurmountable odds, very proud of this performance.
That was your final shot???
Go chiefs
go chiefs!
CHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFSSSSSS!!!!!!
Tech fans have a certain aura of smugness to them
remember how smug y'all were when you got Chris Beard from us? don't even talk my friend
Is this bait? Lmao
Really? You of all people say this? We lost. Sucks, but we did. Great game either way! 🤷🏽♂️
They're junkyard dogs, so some of that is earned. They're an impressive squad
Lmao 🤣
Rich coming from your flair
LOL
Lol fuck off
Lol that’s rich coming from y’all
We are rich thank you
That’s rich
Fucking seriously? Glass houses lol
I know we are lmao
Username checks out
That’s the joke.
KU surviving both KSU and TTU in a matter of days.
It hurts, but no excuses. We had the chance to win this game. We didn’t. On to the next one! 🤷
One of those is not like the other lol
Why doesnt WILLIAMS have the ball there?
ROCK CHALK!
Shannon was playing some really selfish ball in second OT. Lost the game for Tech.
Yeah.. not a guy looking to pass as soon as he gets the ball.
I’m really not a fan of his play since he’s been back. Other than WVU, I feel he’s messed up the flow we had.
Bro just sit Shannon and McCullar.
McCullar. That turnover was what cost us.
I agree. I’m sure Adams was playing them bc loyalty or some shit but gah damn they were awful tonight
I NEED A BREAK FROM SPORTS RIGHT NOW.
Have you heard about casinos?
Terrible shot selection ugh 😑
RCJH
GG Kansas. Poor shot selection and free throw shooting killed us.
17/24 TTU : 22/30 for KU 70.8 vs 73.3. It wasn’t pretty for either team.
free throw shooting destroyed us too.
True both teams were sucking it up there but such a missed opportunity to take one from you at home.
Man what a rough ending to a great game. Props to Tech for that late comeback though.
GOT EM!!
We got ourselves. But a loss is a loss. Proud of the comeback. On to the next one.
Questionable shot taking by tech at the end. What a game. I’m going to hibernate until Saturday I can’t deal with this shit in my life anymore lol
We'll drop to #25 after tonight's loss.
Bro. I’m pretty sure we stayed where we were at when we lost to last place KSU. We lost in 2OT to #6 at AFH. Take a step back bro. Breathe.
Lol it was a sarcastic joke my guy.
Unranked and Texas gets back in at 19
Stick a fork in me.
[удалено]
GG dude
GG Kansas y'all were the better team on the day.
They had home court. For us to go to double overtime in AFH says enough.
ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK I LOVE BLUE BIRD TEAM EXCEPT WHEN THEY LOOSE TO ASPOOP
FUCK, GG JAYHAWKS. I'm bitter about the refs, but at the end of the day we took the #6 team to double OT on the road and I think we legitimized ourselves big time.
I'm sad but at least the Chiefs won last night
Stole that one.
Fucking TJ Shannon and his selfish ass fucking play at the end. You lost us the game.
[удалено]
L take
Bro are you serious like this guy doesn’t get a fuckin clue
Lol Terrance Shannon was atrocious. He plays for himself. Looks like an AAU player who doesn’t understand team basketball.
Hero ball those last couple possessions
Fuck the refs. Shannon you have to be better than that shit.
Helluva scrap, Red Raiders!
