Something that bodes well for this team...
KU won their first two conference tournament games by double digits. When KU has done this the results are 2x S16, 2x FF, national champion. One of those S16s is the Arizona game too..

Remember what I was saying about how Self cooked Calipari? Self pretty much laid it out in the post game too. Been a problem all year for them and a big part of why they probably won't make a tournament run. No coaching from Calipari, just vibes.
Watching Norm has me pining for Self if anything. He certainly has a higher tolerance for mistakes for better or worse.
@dylans you might find this interesting, I sure did.
@dylans As long as we have Kevin for the NCAAT this is optimal.

@BShark this one too? Or just great minds here.

Great minds on that one. I was frustrated when we were sucky on an out of time out play when I tweeted that iirc
Norm playing the bench and two double digit wins hmmmmm.
Looking forward to the next three years with this great kid.
I'm cooking
GREAT anticipation call by the ref and by great I mean dog shit.

We don't say it enough, this defense is elite at times
ISU is stinky offensively (made last night against Baylor hilarious) but when we are engaged and at full strength we can defend pretty good.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Use clock
Horrid awareness from Joe but we are not surprised.
@benshawks08 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
@BShark it’s so weird. Why???? Like why say it wrong most of the time when you can clearly say it right?
It's completely intentional like I suspected. He's such a weirdo at times.
Fran said McCullar that time, I heard it!

@BShark you taking my material? 🐦 View Tweet?s=46&t=PfvO214bW1XkHtm9eUlx9A
Blatant plagiarism. No contest.
OKAY GRADEY I SEE YOU
@benshawks08 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Not bad for that line up.
Yeah, I'll take the end result.
@benshawks08 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
@BShark I’m a mess. Sorry I never let things go.
It will be fun to track next year honestly. I hope KJ develops enough for it.

Bill would NEVER play this line-up
He might next year.

We are stealing with this line-up, god bless
Imagine kev in for Bobby.
Unironically better.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Flashes of Dok trying to go coast to coast lol
He's going to be so much fun. Like Juan he is limited for NBA prospects so we should have him around awhile. Heck Kofi is in Japan right now.
We are stealing with this line-up, god bless
Bill would NEVER play this line-up
Might need to fire up the loss thread.
The problem is who the hell do we put in for Joe...
@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
I don't know if we will ever see it but KJ man, man up on boards
Physical limitations.
@benshawks08 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
This might be where we miss bill. Half time and in game adjustments when the game plan isn’t working.
Without a doubt.
@StLJhawk said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Gradey is tough
He's been lazy tonight, big part of ISU getting back in it. I'm hard on him because he can be so much better.
Garbage Gradey tonight cool
If the paint is this open next year for us Elmarko will feast. We need to get a couple shooters in the portal however.
@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
As painful as it was
Yeah it would be nice if they actually did much. MJ was lol
@BeddieKU23 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
Probably big that we kept a lead while going deep in that bench. We got little out of the bench but we stole some freshness
Yeah this is the biggest thing playing the bench gives you.
I'll be honest Gradey is soft. ISU was smart to get physical with him right away, he's been a bit checked out mentally.

Need to get Grady going again
Would love to get him out of the witness protection program.

So glad Self and co found Dajuan.
And that will always be the difference between Self and everyone else in the blue bloods. No other coach is seeing what he saw in Juan and values that and then develops it to its fullest
The Frank Mason story is a real good one too.

Thank you Lisa Braun. :writing_hand: :notebook:

You CAN NOT have Bobby & Joe in the game at the same time - they make ugly plays
The drop off with any member of our starting 5 out is staggering.
@jayballer67 said in Boowa State Game Thread:
why is Bobby playing - -DRIBBLE - - - -DRIBBLE - - -DRIBBLE - - DRIBBLE 5,4,3,2
He plays scared, part of it is Bill's fault. Source: trust me.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Bill Self Health Issue:
I'd be surprised if he's not back.
I'll be surprised if he isn't coaching the first NCAAT game.

Pastner was just fired so this guy should be available. Not a three point shooter at all but when has that stopped Bill.
We good.
@BeddieKU23 Yeah if he enters the portal we should inquire. Fits what we are looking for.

KC kid, would have a year because of covid. Not in the portal yet I'm just spitballing.
From preseason number one to out of the tournament. Them making the title game may have been horrible for them in the long run because Hubert ain't it.
