@HighEliteMajor They just changed the formula this year. It used to help when one of the worst teams in recent memory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014%E2%80%9315_Kansas_Jayhawks_men%27s_basketball_team) β†— got a 2 seed.

@wissox Our schedule person is good, I forget their name (it's late) but they do a great job identifying mid majors that will do well in their league.

KU ended up playing the winner of these conferences in the regular season: America East, Southern, WAC (who happened to give Auburn all they wanted today).

@BShark That was back when were humming along with Doke and Vick and company.

Doke and Vick were non-factors in that game.

Seems like Self had the same gameplan for each game though. I love that KU always seems to schedule tough mid majors in the non-con.

Hard to believe Fletcher Magee went 0-9 against Kansas.

Old friend Wofford up 10 on SHU at the half.

So I don't know how many of you are familiar with Nikola Jokic, but he's a really good comp for Dedric Lawson right now. Dedric is like the college version of Jokic.

lol stop

Anyone remember the old days when the games were only on CBS and you had to just watch for the score in the corner of the other games? Frustrating as I never lived in Kansas and I was always hoping they'd switch over to the KU game.

The current format is fantastic thankfully.

Directional Game Thread β€’ Mar 21, 2019 10:24 PM

KANSAS WAS THE FIRST FAVOURITE TO COVER SO FAR. GOOD TEAMS WIN GREAT TEAMS COVER.

My lord murray st

How are they this good? Morant is insane obviously but Brown and Buchanan are really nice players too. Like, surprising roster for an OVC squad.

13 straight years with a tournament win for KU.

Yeah, I'm confused about this at this point as well. Game is super over.

From 37-30 to 66-36... Is that good?

Directional Game Thread β€’ Mar 21, 2019 10:00 PM

So that Brandon Lang dipcrap that said Self is leaving also said KU had no chance in this game against Northeastern. Food for thought. :joy:

RockChalkinTexas said:

Hats off to the squad. Prepared well.

Agree. I will also say again this reminds me of the Wofford game. People freaking out about their three point offense but aren't factoring in that their lack of athleticism means KU can eat them up in the paint and run them off the line.

These announcers have me laughing that's for sure. It's hard for them when a game is this bad.

How does Self allow KJ or Chuck to ever shoot? Like period

I like KJ as a big.

Yea If he had Mitch’s offensive mentallity

Fair. Though honestly I wish Mitch would take a few more super wide open threes.

@BeddieKU23 He's able to play like this because its Northeastern. Against athletic guys as big or bigger, it won't come so easily....

Auburn's bigs are problematic.

Okay much better

Directional Game Thread β€’ Mar 21, 2019 09:34 PM

Mid majors so far are executing poorly in end game situations. Let's hope that doesn't balance out some with NE playing well...

WOOF.

Turning it over against NE at an alarming rate this half...

Oh geez, act like they're shocked about d dot and Dedric

Before the game: Kansas has no pro prospects.

At Halftime: Dotson is a pro prospect.

Dotson is 100% playing pro ball just not sure how long he sticks in the NBA.

Kind of crazy that they've called twice as many fouls on us as NE.

Especially when you consider that NE can't stay in front of any KU player lol
