Why are the WVU fans booing Dotson anyway? Is there some bad blood that I don't remember?

That last foul on Doke was crap, after Garrett got tackled on the other end
Shocks u 2 see it in Morgantown.
@wissox said in In the Middle of Nowhere Game Thread:
WVU 1 foul. Of course they've committed more than that.
They are just squeaky clean okay??!
Big Dave has never once passed out of the post
Damn it Dotson...
@DanR said in In the Middle of Nowhere Game Thread:
We're fine. Just need to stop turning the ball over
Rebound and don't turn it over. Seems simple...
JFC Doke
Isaiah Moss
@BeddieKU23 No, but he's our best rebounder which also says a lot
We suck at rebounding. Doke has always been poor for his size.
Enaruna can find the bench again
@BeddieKU23 said in In the Middle of Nowhere Game Thread:
Did they forget the whistle
This is shocking but they missed a couple really blatant WVU fouls.
Yeah this is gonna be a scrapper
Good lord
I'll allow that shot from Oscar all game.
WOW!
Nor was the defensive possession for KU...
Welp, that offensive possession was not great.
We good is required in the op.
Self is a cheater for those that are still stuck in Pleasantville.
Bill Self lab player like Garrett. My buddy also says he needs and would thrive under Bill.
Got a buddy around the Sunrise program and he says KB's jump shot might be even worse than Marc G. :thinking_face:
I am for playing Wichita State if we don't give them a single game in Wichita. They don't deserve that. That would be like giving Davidson or New Mexico State that HEM brought up a home game. Villanova and Stanford get road games, not puds like Wichita. San Diego State in 2015 was the last time we played a non P5 school in a true road game.
@Kcmatt7 is correct, if Wichita wanted this done we would be playing them in Lawrence and KC.
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes. It's KU. They HATE us.
Does Marcus not deserve it as much as Raef Lafrentz? There are several other retired jerseys around his level imo.
@dylans I don't think anyone is arguing that it hasn't been watered down.
Yeah but they are at least a P5 team and the game will sell out in KC.
Oh...

@Kcmatt7 I'm ready to go off on my annual OAD rant, but I'll try not to.
All I can say is give me a Christian Braun (even though he doesn't pronounce his name correctly) ANYDAY over a Wiggins type fellow.
Next year will be VERY interesting. We lose our two 5 (-ish in Doke's case, either way clearly our best big) players and will only have one 5, a FR guard.
The starting line-up will have a player that was unranked before KU came calling (Garrett), a couple sub 100 3 in Braun and Agbaji (both of whom have struggled this year) and a C that would have been a low 4 in most classes (Dave).
The bench will feature a JUCO and some mid-range 4* in their second year. One coming off an injury.
Not saying it will go bad, not at all. But um, just interesting and something to keep in the back of our minds.
This is made even better by the fact that we started playing Missouri again.
Wichita is back to being an irrelevant mid major. They are JAGs in the American. Should have stayed in the MVC and inflated their record.
Wiggins I genuinely do not want to see up there. I think Marcus is at least defensible.

I get where you guys are coming from but...take it up with Bill and/or the AD? :man_shrugging:
I'm not THAT upset about it. And I get that it's whoever Bill wants.
I just think it's stupid. It will take away from everyone past, present and future that's going up there. If that is what Bill and Co. want that's fine. But let's be real about it at least. Marcus doesn't deserve it and if he didn't have the long NBA career he's had I doubt he'd be going up there.
The one thing I'll give Marcus credit, is that if he'd have come back for his senior season it's very likely we win it all and he walks out of Lawrence with 2000 career points and a NC. And he'd probably have been a 1st team AA that next season.
I can't even imagine Senior versions of the twins playing next to Jr. T-Rob and Withey. Replace Kevin Young and Justin Wesley in 2012 and tell me we don't win a NC.
Fair points.
There is no doubt that part of this has to do with his long NBA career.
@nuleafjhawk I know but I still think Wiggins might get up there, seriously.
@nuleafjhawk Selby has no shot, I would say Josh close to no shot. Wiggins I could see legitimately happening for recruiting purposes.
No need to get that way...
I just don't see this as something to get upset about. It's such a small thing.
Wiggins might get up there at some point, that will be a fun day.
I get where you guys are coming from but...take it up with Bill and/or the AD? :man_shrugging:
Guys please understand the real criteria...
Whoever Bill wants in the rafters gets up there.
That's um, something.
Michigan State???!

@BeddieKU23 So, how did this happen? Surely Self, after all these years, didn't wake up before the season and say " Oh, what the heck, let's play some defense this year".
Did the team just evolve? Did they say " Nobody can put the ball in the hoop so we may as well just play good defense"?
Either way, I personally love to see the good "D". Love to see the opponents scoring in the 40's and 50's.
Athletes to defend that are willing to do it. The team really bought in this year.
@FarmerJayhawk said in NUMBER ONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE KANSAS JAYHAWKS:
Well, one game we don't have to worry about at all is ISU at home. Halliburton out for the year with a wrist fracture.
Awful for him but yeah they may not win another game..
Retiring his jersey during the ISU game.
I'm extremely interested to see how KU performs in Waco playing 4 out the whole time and hopefully everyone stays healthy unlike the first game.
Coach K is right, but if college basketball can't make itself more appealing than the G League and various international leagues this is only going to get worse. Look at Dotson for instance, good college player but he is going to go pro early despite not really having a shot at the NBA right now.
@Woodrow I know Jalen made a half court shot, do you have video?
Here is video of Jalen making one: 🐦 View Tweet
This would currently be their worst loss under GREGGGGG. Previously a 32 pt loss to OU, I believe a Buddy Hield OU team.
Wichita is getting smoked by Houston.

@benshawks08 don't be a party pooper!🤣 thinking positive here! Self seems to have a handle on dokes mood swings! Dot seems healthier. BD is great off the bench. Marcus had his only off game, for sure🤩🔥. Och, Braun and moss will contribute defensively and hit some 3's. Tristan got some boards yesterday. Last game we started off poorly w/2 bigs, caught up w/4-1, then dot went down. Rest is history. Baylor is squeaking by teams we are beating. Gotta check vital! Keep them off the boards, play great D! We got this🙏💙❤️
