Not sure...his apartment was tapped, but now there is suspicion that he has more than one apartment! They may have tapped the wrong one!

Whereas EJ has been trash most of the year.

Me too. I like Johnson. But it's obvious that he's hurting the team right now. Perhaps not starting and coming off the bench will help him re-focus?

They've both been trash most of the year. Take a look at their stats and game logs.

Oklahoma 75 TCU 48

Are you ****ing kidding me.

KSU in the BONUS!>?! BOOOOOO!

Agreed.

But Tharpe provides the team some ball movement, and penetration.

MAIN MENU

If you're benching him for the Tharpe we've seen today, it makes all the sense in the world. If you're benching EJ for the Tharpe we've seen since January, it won't make a bit of difference (and might in fact make them worse).

You know KU has fallen when beating Bruce Webber is considered a big win

When he's going well...which is extremely rare.

Kevin Young playing decent tonight.

GO HUSCARZ!!!!

Wait until you become head coach at KU.

God awful? No. I have seen better play out of him. Yeah, he hasn't been great. But he has been better than EJ lately. I would rather see him start. I have thought so the last few games.

Did Young just make a jump shot?!?!?!

:eek:

Tharpe has found his swag.

Tharpe for 3333333333333333333333333333333333333

You can be my Danny Manning.

Since you're basically bald already.

35-16
5:35 left.

We just need to commit to Tharpe at the point and move on ... take our lumps.

EJ needs to be nothing but a #2

This is fun.

I can do that.

Where'd the KSU fans go?

Since the beginning of B12 play, Tharpe has shot 18 for 64 (including 2 for 15 against TCU). If that's not god awful, I don't know what is.

BOOOOOO!!!!

You do realize that KSU is ranked #10 right? Weber took Bill Self's recruits at Illinois and played in the national championship game in his second year. IMO, he's a good coach but lacks in the area of recruiting.

lol, yeah....what a difference putting a PG in the PG position makes.

We stayed in the game as long as the team. The mf'ers.

I'd say that is the game... Kansas State doesn't even want to be there. If they could they would get on the bus and head back to Manhattan right now. Talk about a team with no heart.

Tharpe still looking great. Traylor needs some confidence.

High Fives all around!

Wow nice play by Tharpe.

Very nice drive by Tharpe.

Welp, game over here. Time to watch Teen Mom 2.

THARPE FOR PG!

I mean, if you're asking me whether KU could use Tharpe's ball creation abilities, then yes, I certainly think they do. It's not a coincidence that the team was playing their best basketball (and elite basketball) when Tharpe was playing well. The problem is he hasn't done this shit since December (not anything close either, he's been terrible). It can't be the expectation with him going forward.

Under 4:

KSU 19
KU 38

And rub Vicks on your dingy.

Oh there you are! :)

Just admit Tharpe is the answer at pg, no sense beating around the bush we're all Jayhawk fans.

He has done more for this team this year than EJ has.

I could have watched The Bachelor. Instead, staunch in my heterosexuality, I tune in to another episode of this shit.

Over/under on how close KSU will close the gap before finishing down 20.

12

The good Tharpe is a potential answer at PG, but if you're truly being honest with yourself, the team has no answer at PG. If Tharpe was the answer, he would have shown this ability consistently at some point in the last two months instead of shooting 18 for 64 and making repeated poor decisions while playing bad defense.

we'll fall asleep sooner or later ... this won't last.

Bad Tharpe > EJ ?

Precisely.

No. Or else Self would have already benched EJ.

Nice pass ..

LMAO

Let it go man.

Bruce you need to call a timeout and hold another Funeral. THis is getting out of hand...

Here's your future starting lineup.

Withey
Young
McLemore
Releford
Tharpe

Let what go? I'm not the one ignoring that Tharpe has gone 18 for 64 with terrible defense since B12 play. Do you think Self is blind to that?

ROFL

I saw this coming a mile away.

Please give us Elijah's stats in B12 play.

And his assist to turnover ratio.

I said it once after Weber got his shit handed to him in Manhattan and I will say it again, Weber will NEVER beat Self.

LOL at fail alley oop. Even though Shank makes the easy layup afterwards.

Why? EJ has sucked over that time period, that's well known in these parts. What apparently isn't is that Tharpe has been awful too.

I think what KCC is saying is that neither has done well. I've said it before, EJ has been playing out of position and he just never has figured out quite how to play the point effectively. But both Tharpe & EJ have been horrible since conference play started....and I'm a big Tharpe fan.

Rio Adams is hard to watch.

I don't think so... maybe - bad Tharpe > bad EJ, but the argument that Tharpe is clearly the answer seems like a huge knee-jerk reaction based on EJ's last 3 games and Tharpe's last half.

There is no need, I still love Elijah and everyone knows how horrible he's been most of the year.

Bill!

Hey Bill!

Settle down you drunk!

Well, no shit.

But, as a starting PG Tharpe brings more to this team than EJ does.

He just refutes the fact by mentioning Tharpe's shooting which has been abysmal, but not as bad as Elijah's.

That's the shit that Tharpe needs to stop doing.

He learned that from EJ, Ej's been doing that since last year.

I like EJ, but at this point I just don't think he'll ever be able to effectively run the point.

he's lost


I think Self is hoping to get him some minutes so he has more flexibility at guard.

Bmac!! :)

last shot ... what will it be :hmmm:

I don't.

He's been really bad 85% of the year.

47-29 KU at the half. Bmac and Tharpe leading the way.

Halftime:

KSU 29
KU 47

There's your #1 pg right there to end the half.

Tharpe is fun to watch when he's like this.

Bill...stop thinking about Holly naked, you drunk!

Glassy eyes Bill.

Ron Swanson is Kansas Cop.

wow ... cameraman needs to back the **** up a bit.

camera almost nailed Self in the head

Self is right...when Tharpe is penetrating like that instead of jacking up his awful shots, it helps us a ton.
