Anybody who plays in AFH and is shocked by a disparity in foul calls hasn't been paying attention. It's been 8 on 5 there for decades.

The difference in playstyle had a huge part in it. KU drove the paint against the zone all night. Baylor got a lot of their points from post up moves in the paint, and jumpers. Big difference. KU's interior defense was severely lacking last night, which doesn't necessarily equal fouls... Those are stationary offensive players meaning less fouls.

I don't know about that. We are so thin with Bigs, if letting them play keeps Lucas out of foul trouble, that helps KU a lot.

I thought he did pretty well. With Bragg out, he has gotten a lot more passive, which he needs to since he needs to stay in.

It is going to be hard to win it all with no depth on the frontcourt.

So I realize there isn't a freedom from age discrimination clause in the constitution. But I'm still slightly surprised the courts allow it. If a union thought the way to keep jobs high paying was to get the union, or a state legislature, to pass a law saying you had to be 40 years old to work in some profession, I don't see the courts allowing it.

But the courts obviously are allowing it.

It's a race thing. We are trying to keep the black man down by not letting them into the league earlier. At least that's what the Players union now thinks. They state that White Baseball players can play baseball professionally, etc. What they fail to realize is that the D League will allow 18 year olds to play and develop - much like Major league baseball uses the minor leagues. You rarely if ever see an 18 year old in the bigs.

Maybe courts aren't technically allowing it, but nobody has technically challenged it legally? I don't know.

KU players Josh Jackson, Lagerald Vick are persons of interest in vandalism investigation

Two University of Kansas men’s basketball players are persons of interest in a Lawrence police investigation into the vandalism of a car in early December, multiple sources have told The Kansas City Star.

The players of interest in the case are Josh Jackson and Lagerald Vick. Investigators have recently interviewed several people who witnessed the reported crime, which occurred in the early morning hours of Dec. 9 outside a bar. A police report categorizes the $2,991 in damage to the car as a felony.

Police were called to a parking lot near the Yacht Club on Wisconsin Street just before 2 a.m., according to the report. Officers spoke with the victim, who is the same female student a KU investigation found Vick likely hit in the arm multiple times and kicked in the face in late 2015. A phone number for that student has been disconnected and an attorney for the family has not returned multiple phone calls for comment.

Lawrence police have not named suspects in the vandalism. Officers are still investigating, and continue to add information to the initial report, even as late as Wednesday. Police only released the first page of the report.

The Star sent an email with several questions regarding the reported vandalism and the players as persons of interest to Jim Marchiony, KU’s associate athletic director for public affairs.

“We are aware of the incident,” Marchiony replied. “And we are aware of the investigation.”

Marchiony referred a question about whether the university has investigated the reported vandalism, or will, to the school’s public affairs office. The university can investigate possible violations of the student conduct code even when they occur off campus.

Joe Monaco, director of strategic communications for KU’s public affairs office, said if The Star had specific questions about “that investigation,” referring to the vandalism, it would need to contact Lawrence police. Monaco said he could not address a possible university investigation, or say whether the school’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access was involved.

“Due to federal law, and to protect the rights of all individuals involved, the university does not confirm or deny IOA investigations,” he wrote in an emailed response.

The Star left a voice message for KU basketball coach Bill Self and it was not immediately returned.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said she didn’t know when the investigation would be completed.

“If charges are going to be filed, an affidavit for charges will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office,” she said Thursday. Damage over $1,500 is considered a felony, Rhoads said.

Jackson, 19, is a freshman from Detroit who came to KU last fall as the nation’s top-ranked high school recruit and is the team’s second-leading scorer. Vick, 20, is a sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., who is one of KU’s top reserves.

The off-campus vandalism investigation is the latest incident involving KU men’s basketball players to recently come to light.

Earlier this week, The Star reported that KU investigated Vick a year ago for domestic violence. According to information obtained by the newspaper, the office of IOA determined in January 2016 that Vick likely struck the female student multiple times.

GFDI.

Come on guys.

[Titty Meat]

More non news who cares?

[Mr. Plow]

Good Lord.

[CoMoChief]

Nothing to see here.

Just a couple of young college guys....havin' a good time.

We've all been there.

When's the tournament start?

[doomy3]

It's completely possible this is all the same female and she has a vendetta. Until more facts come out, there just isn't any reason to get worked up over this.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Rumor is it's the same chick that lied about the Bragg stuff and that she was really behind the vandalism. She's dumb as shit if she thinks this is gonna stick. What a crazy ass girl.
