@BeddieKU23 He's going to make another coach very happy. Imagine he will end up at another P5 school.
@BeddieKU23 They stunted his development so Un could chuck. I can see why that upset him.
Among players with at least 50 ISO possessions a year ago, McGusty (57 poss.) ranked 17th nationally in Division I in points per possession. Best in Big 12. Had just 17 ISO possessions this year, Trae Young had 157.

@BShark Shepard too
Yeah, not as high of an impact but still worth mentioning. OU is in deep doo doo. Gotta try to find multiple impact level players late. Unlikely...
@Blown They got really bad when they switched to facebook for comments.
Rough times for Lonny boy. Was Un Young worth it?
@HighEliteMajor To be clear I agree with you. I still believe not playing Diallo was wrong.
Self has admitted he was too stubborn before. It really really dislike the whole "you think you know more than coach x" crowd in any fan base. It's basketball, not quantum physics.
@BigBad Early on and they are pretty much affirming what I saw with Duke's zone.
@Fightsongwriter Worked out great for everyone. Un Young got to chuck and KU is in the FF.
Pouring one out for @wissox
@Bosthawk I think with Newman he was partially helped by failing at Miss ST. If he first came to KU maybe he flames out here and another school is the redemption story. I think he needed to fail because he had been getting by and winning previously while not playing defense.
@Blown Eh, part of it is sample size. There have been two OAD heavy teams to win the title already. But how many can there even be each year? What's the definition? I'd say at least 3 OAD starters, which limits the pool to 1-2 teams each year.
@mayjay K gave up on this team defensively when he went zone. This zone was so basic that UNC shredded it multiple times. The biggest issue with Self that @HighEliteMajor and others have an issue with is him playing lower ceiling guys that know the system better. Self playing Silvio in the tournament over Mitch when needed has been a big step in the right direction. I was worried about what would happen if we saw Lightfoot in there against Duke but it never happened.
:O
Do we know if there is another younger Teahan brother?
Has still never made a final four without a Teahan on the roster.
FACTS ONLY.
This is fantastic.
@KUSTEVE ROUGH year for elpoyo and the FFs instead of winning the conference title crowd. That logic never made a lick of sense, because if the conference is complete crap how on earth is KU going to win a title while not winning the league?
@JayHawkFanToo Feels like we never actually know for sure. Maybe well down the line.

KU to the Final Four. T Tech ...lost in the Elite 8. Silo Tech ...lost in the Elite 8. WVU ...lost in the Sweet 16. We're the Alpha and the Omega of the B12.
Well we already knew that. :p
@Fightsongwriter The sequence where they should have called a jump ball about 4 times is what Silvio is all about. Kid fights.
Bill Self and Kansas have beaten Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky three times in a row. Each.
@Fightsongwriter Not convinced Preston plays a second even without that incident.
@Fightsongwriter It's fantastic. Crazy to beat Duke when Silvio played more than Doke. I mentioned it before but I do wonder if we were a bit better with Silvio in. Not forcing the ball to Doke, playing in rhythm and Silvio is a better rebounder.
@Fightsongwriter We all from Africa!
@Crimsonorblue22 back 2 back I say
@StLJhawk Ghosts of the Phog made it up to Omaha!
@HighEliteMajor It can only help with the Lawsons. They see the result of buying in first hand.
@kjayhawks FACTS
Transfer U is really going to be humming next year. :ok_hand_tone2:
I'm confused lol
@HighEliteMajor In case you need the link: http://www2.kusports.com/news/2018/mar/20/rocky-yet-rewarding-evolution-kus-malik-newman/ ↗
@Kcmatt7 I love it. Nova is good but this is a beefy spread.
Spare parts. Battle tested spare parts from previous teams that were better but couldn't get it done. Tournament onions.
Let's hope this one ends better.

@Bosthawk The Silvio decision, and getting him eligible, saved this season. Period.
Newman the best transfer ever? I'm struggling to come up with another name. This is where Self's management is masterful. Think about where we were two months ago? Have to give Malik complete credit two. Buying in when your basketball DNA is somewhat counter the flow is impressive.
Fact. I'm not even sure we beat Clemson without Silvio.
Did you catch the article on Malik's turnaround? It's really something.
Withey was a pretty good transfer.
