Also going to mention again that KU's crucial comeback stretch against Tech came with Garrett on the bench...

Luckily for Kentucky they play in a weak SEC conference, so they'll probably get some wins. They would have a losing record in the B12, B10, maybe ACC this season.
Yeah. Good to decent teams in the SEC.... Tennessee, LSU, Florida, Arkansas and...Missouri? A lot of chaff.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Read a lot of comments from Kentucky fans along the lines of: "We need a new coach."
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Kentucky about to move to 1-5. I am very much here for it.
Imagine the KU fan base if this happened. Good news is it's so unlikely as long as Self is the coach. Weak 2020 class hurting Cal.
Also we might be good defensively? Like maybe? Gonzaga is just insane on offense.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Wow UNC is terrible
Louisville looked like ass today too. Maybe Kentuckkkah rights the ship a bit.
Holy shit
WVU can't shoot for shit. ISU's entire defense is fouling them lmao.

My post was referring to fans talking about encouraging Dave to transfer
I want Dave to stay as well. He could return to a bench role next year if he is okay with that.

@Marco said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Who would you rather we sign, Cuffe or Griffin?
Cuffe. Without him the guard situation for next year is ROUGH.
Both. By the time the 22 class comes in we will probably need a wing. I am just assuming things will work out to bring in Cuffe for 21.
KState people thought they beat KU for Bradford when KU never offered. They don't want to talk about Braun or Gethro. Cuffe soon to be added to that list lol.
72% on the year now, reasonable.
@AsadZ I wouldn't encourage Tristan, it just seems likely as he has been in Self's dog house his entire time here. He could end up better for it and emerge at some point, that would be my first choice.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Yeah, he's not going to KSU. That program is an absolute trash fire right now has almost no appeal to anyone of note.
Based on previous comments I thought he might be but yeah that was a pretty definitive statement from Brandon Jenkins about him.
Was just told by the guy covering him for 247 something very interesting... It's VIP...but...KU is deep in this one...
Interesting considering that KU is more or less in his top 4. If anything I worry that the staff will focus elsewhere and Griffen will end up at another Big 12 school (KSU, OU or Tech). He has family ties to KSU.
Griffen is better. I want Shaw as well tbh if they can swing both. I think Gradey would crumble under Self, from what I've heard.
@RockkChalkk Meanwhile a joke stimulus instead of something that will help people...
@Kcmatt7 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
I didn't see until today that UK is 1-4 and play UNC tomorrow and Lousiville after that lol
Love it
@BeddieKU23 reminds me of BMac
The more I see and hear, the more I want Rylan Griffen a lot more than Gradey Dick.
Ochai and Jalen are very clearly the best players on the team.
This season alone Self is 4-0 in games decided by four points or less, and he’s 69-38 in those scenarios in 18 seasons at Kansas. He’s also 24-9 in overtime games.
From an article on the athletic.
Wild stuff.
For anyone that doesn't want to take the link
"21 students and staff at Duke, North Carolina and Appalachian State arrested in a massive Drug ring that existed to supply those colleges"
Ochai, still great.
Bill won't do it, but I am intrigued by the prospect of it.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
How the expletive is this team 7-1 btw
I am convinced that if you gave Bill a ham sandwich, a bag of rocks and a rubberband he would make the tournament.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
@BShark did he get many mins tonight? Didn't seem like it?
14! He just didn't do a lot stat wise.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
I thought Bryce would be stronger by now, but no easy games now. He needed more. All our rooks needed more
Yeah. Bill knows he will be good, I like that he lets Bryce play. UK is the only game where he had single digit minutes.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
@DCHawker a lot of times Marcus had the shot at the end of the clock, not much choice!
Part of this is because we aren't really running much of an offense yet and most of this team isn't able to get by their man.
I quite like Cuffe, hope he is on the team next year. He's fast and an electric athlete. There will be growing pains but he can grow into a great Bill Self PG IMO.
Bill. Eugene. Self.

Man I'm sorry guys. I think I'm short on sleep or something; not seeing the glass half full on these grind games with dave and Marcus jacking up garbage.
Dave and Marcus take way too many shots, I've been on that train.
We went on a 7-0 run in the last few minutes when Garrett was on the bench. Don’t get me wrong I love the guy but he needs to be on the bench when we need offense. That’s my opinion anyway.
Completely agree.
@jessejayhawk said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
Marcus does not have the luxury of having Doke clearing out the lane for his drives to the hoop. Hopefully Big Mac willl learn how to do that a little better
My hope for that is very low. Our bigs are so bad at screening. Maybe next year it improves, certainly bringing in a lot of bodies.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
These are fun to read in hindsight lmao. Gutty win. This team has a really good makeup. A little bit down on talent but I can’t name many teams better.
Bill is a helluva coach. This roster does not fit great and lacks much if anything down low. I do think Marcus plays too much, he could use some rest. Too many Dave fadeaways and Marcus getting stuffed hopefully we see more of an actual offense soon but I trust Bill.
@approxinfinity said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
Maybe Bill will change his ways when we get smoked by Baylor
I was thinking 2-1 to open conference play would be a miracle. We will somehow split with Baylor. If you switch coaches so that Self is coaching Baylor, Baylor would go 2-0 against us.
@BeddieKU23 said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
Nah your fine. Its a limited roster at positions we had elite play from. Tough to watch pros vs non pros
Yep. Tech has multiple NBA guys, KU probably has 0 in all honesty. And the ones that have a shot like Bryce aren't ready yet.

@jessejayhawk said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
Kudos to coach Self for the two out of bounds plays
Best in the biz
KU 14-15 from the line and won by 1...
my heart
@benshawks08 I'd rather have him in than Dave on defense tbh
Refs longing to send Tech to the line here.
Yikes, rough loss
sigh
Yeah that was an and one not a charge lol
Braun 4 fouls oof
Nice block by Ochai
