Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

the charge Jake took after Ali's 3 was the real dagger. I was still goin nuts from the shot & thought they'd called it a block. I went from screams of joy to astonishing anger, right back to elation!

I actually missed the charge and had no idea what had happened because I was still going crazy from Ali's bomb

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Madcat I was at the college hockey tournament also, we should have partied, lol. I mentioned it in another thread, I met a guy who went to HS with Kurt Warner who stopped me when he saw my UNI gear. Like you said, lots of wellwishers.

Favorite moments, too many to list, most already expressed but the supressed grin on Jakes face after the air ball has to be near the top. Contrast that with Self, red faced, yelling at his players. Right there I knew we had a great shot to win. The behind the back pass because it wasn't showboating, it was simply the only way he could get the ball to his teammate. Lastly a play that won't make anyones list because we missed the shot but Ali's drive and no-look pass to the guy in the corner showed a glimps that he just might have a shot at the next level. Sorry for rambling but it's hard to stop talking about this game.

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Best random moment of the game: Kansas goes up 2-0, we roll off the next 10. After Johnny hits the 3 to put us up 10-2, the CBS music starts to play and Johnny gives a big fist pump right before commercial.
That got everyone excited and set the tone for the rest of the day.
Question to those who were there: were the K-State fans behind us pretty solidly as we kept ahead?

Thats awesome! I havent seen it yet b/c our affiliate didnt cut in until it was 12-7 or thereabouts (and I was at a bar that unbelievably didnt have the whole pacakage). I'll have to check out the replay on CBSsports.

Dude, thats sweet! I planned on heading to the games at the X this weekend but considering the only game I care about Friday is the Badger hockey game and its at the same time as UNI/MSU (I'm a UW grad school alum as well), I'm banking on us winning against Vermont so I can go Saturday.

Hoping the UNI alumni chapter here plans a gamewatch but I haven't seen anything as of yet. May be up to me... I planned a few at Park Tavern for the alumni events before but the 3rd or 4th time -- our biggest crowd of course -- PT screwed up their cable and sent literally over a hundred UNI fans scattering about to watch a game at different locations. Too bad too, because we were building quite a bit of momentum there.

(Sorry, tangent.)

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Love all the moments mentioned on here, a few of mine-from OK City hotel, Kansas fan asked "do you have any good players?" i said "yeah, do you?"
then another couple in Hyatt hotel elevator said they already booked final four tickets...
I was a bit cocky, but when i got back to our hotel lobby, people were milling around and I loudly pronounced to the manager "If you know any Kansas fans selling their tickets, let me know!!"

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Kerwin's lob for Koch's dunk was my favorite. I think it came around the 10:30 minute mark, and it was the commentary leading up to the play that was my favorite. One of the announcers asked something like, 'At this point what does UNI need to do to stay in this game...' Before he even finished the question, the Panthers answered with that play...perfect!

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

On friday we had a boys day out the ladys took the kids to the zoo and the men along with my 10 year old son went on tour. Look for bars on our gps it located a old chicago so we decided to make that our first stop when we got there the windows had bars on them and it looked pretty rough so we went to bricktown to the bourban street grill. Some how we were able to talk the manager into letting us have a three horned bud light blowup hat that is purple and gold didnt bring it to kanas game but look for it in st louis it rocks. While at bar we meet a kanas couple who had there rooms booked in St louis for three months. I asked them how they new they were going make it there. They said were the 1 team we wont loose i laughed at them and told them I would take there rooms when we beet them and they assured me that they were going to win. Guess they lost twice that day. Can't wait till Friday think we must have at least 70-100 people going in my group. Panthers rock.

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

There's so many great moments from the game, so I'll add one that didn't happen during the game, but after:

My wife and kids and I were down in Kansas City for a little 3 day weekend, and had watched the game in the hotel. Afterwards we went out for dinner in the Power & Light District. The manager of the place came out halfway through the meal because the waiter had told him about the people with all the UNI gear on with smiles from ear-to-ear, and he said, "I'm a Mizzou fan, and I wanted to thank you for what your team did to KU today - they owned them". Priceless.

You shoulda said, "yeah, it reminded me of when we did it to Mizzou".

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

With about 2 minutes left in the game and UNI up by 3, Adam Koch (IIRC) missed a 3 from the corner. Jake Koch fought for position and then the ball in the air and ended up getting fouled. With the coolness he has shown all tournament long, Jake hits both free throws putting UNI back up by 5. Shortly thereafter, he took a charge against collins. His inbounding, ball-handling, shooting, rebounding, defense, and foul-shooting have all been spectacular. How this guy wasn't more highly recruited is beyond me.

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

I agree Prof. As great as Adam has been, I can see Jake being even better as he goes through his career here. Better outside shot at this age, and I think better ballhandler as well.
