Bill shot from the hip yesterday on this. Basically said he wouldn't be playing anyway. Pretty sure Cuffe and Martin will be gone.

@dylans Purely statistically so wins/losses aren't everything though it does tend to mean you are winning.
@Kcmatt7 Noncon hurts them so much. Ohio State loss is terrible. Mostly played horrible competition.
@BeddieKU23 said in Welcome Elmarko Jackson!:
And Self will be advocating and pushing him to go.. The one guy that could take a selfish stand and try and change his mind is very unlikely to do so.
It's the right thing to do. Even with NIL. Getting guys drafted in the lottery is good for the program and recruiting.
@drgnslayr I'd give it a 1% chance.
Gonna be a fan favorite I suspect.
We broke Baylor.
They are hardly even running offense right now. Drew just asking his guys to jack up shots.
:clown_face:
Octagon of room tonight, very empty.
@BeddieKU23 said in Alabama's Brandon Miller:
It's Alabama. Expect it
This is pretty crazy. Will the media make this a big deal?
If it was football this may have never got out.
Came here to post this. Insane.
The 21 team is undoubtedly Self's worst here. The only one to not finish top 25 kenpom. I agree a lot of coaches would miss the tournament with that roster. Were they expecting Dotson back??! It was baffling to not have a PG.
Gradey is currently 8th all time for points in a FR season at KU. Will pass Rush and Dotson in the regular season barring a disaster. A chance to end up 4th behind Wiggs/BMac/Josh depending on tournament runs.
@RockChalkinTexas said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Love this alpha move by Juan:
PG Dajuan Harris with the game ball. TCU took it from Lawrence and posted it on social media & KU was determined to get it back tonight. Asked if getting the win or the ball was better, Harris said, “Both.”
They wrote road kill on the ball too :skull:
I'm good with it, tbh. After losing so much off the title team he probably has a shot at it too.
@cragarhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Told ya guys to get set for a nail biter. CS absolutely with the lead management game here
Yep. Very predictable after an emotional game + short rest. Great to see them tough it out. Self playing the bench like you said and tough defense.
@dylans said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Wow Kevin McFnCullar
I pray for an unlikely 2nd year
@Kcmatt7 said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
I think this TCU team makes a nice run in th tourney.
Not a lot of teams that will be able to run with them. Their Achilles Heel is just that they are a bunch of brick masons.
Beating Purdue in the S16. Yes I say this before seeing the bracket.
Lol KJ. God bless.
Knew this would be a mud game on short rest.
Ref waited to see if it went in..

How 'bout we simma down on a thread that has been fun and pretty active? Take it to the DMs if you need to.
We good.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc:
Right now, Kenpom's 12th ranked team in the Self era. The teams closest to that all won the Big-12. Tourney- 2nd round, Sweet 16, Final Four appearances.
Definitely on an upswing. Feels like earlier on this team was closer to the worst teams of the Self era.
@dylans said in 2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc:
@BShark Doesn’t look too flattering to anyone. I don’t see anyone projected to snag even 3 wins
I think this team gets to the 2nd weekend but it is some interesting perspective. One of these teams (2018 PSU) missed the tournament entirely. Bill navigating this to a 1 or 2 seed is insane. I will also add Udeh playing more could change the calculus.
https://barttorvik.com/profile-compare.php?team=Kansas&year=2023 ↗
Torvik team comps are not flattering for tournament success. Self is a wizard but also college basketball is pretty down.
@mayjay Eagles fans have been MUCH better online than Bengals fans. At least in terms of what I've seen. Bengals fans will be crying until September.
Dotson is a pretty good bet. I think Sherron at peak condition is probably the closest, then Tyshawn. All four were very fast with the ball. Elmarko will be entering this conversation, barring injury.
Tons of people back. I recognized most but I'm not sure who this is?
@dylans said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Hope he’s not scared of the limelight. It’s a lot for some kids, others (Remmy I’m looking at you!) eat it up!!!
Yeah we have had some kids that found out they really are not about it. Bragg and Bryce both come to mind. Never know until they get here.
@Kcmatt7 said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
I love that Bill just showed Scott who was boss.
Quit switching in the 2nd half, despite not doing it all season 😂
Up to 7th! Top 15 off and d. WOW!
The true test of great coaching isn't what you do with your 5 elite talent so much as it is your 3 and fringe 4* guys.
Ochai, CB, Dajuan, Frank, Graham, Marcus etc
@Zabudda said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
Udeh is a rim protector plus the most agile, quick and long armed big among the conference.
Game changing talent but he really was unplayable early on he just had no idea what he was doing. Smart kid, caught on quick.
The Juan thing is even crazier than I realized.
@Crimsonorblue22 Outrebounded Baylor by 3. Grown man effort today.
Thou shalt not pass. @KirkIsMyHinrich

@jayballer67 said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
We just hung a cool 55 points on Baylor in the 2nd half
And held them to 26
+29 in the 2nd half. Is that good?
Sources working to confirm.
Baylor pack is hitttting
@Kcmatt7 said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
Kenpom should like this one
As much movement as you'll see this late in the season lol.
@Crimsonorblue22 I believed. Didn't even bump "the forbidden thread".
IF Bob is hitting threes just give up.
Juan scores and we win.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
Yes not playing?
He is not very good at basketball I fear.
4 on kev, gonna have to roll with Bob more.
