Getting smoked by a mediocre OU team at home. YIKES!
Again why does he play lol
Doug Sirmons be like
@DanR no
@dylans soft
I get that we don't want to give Dajuan some time off but...
The counter to not playing a bulky 5 is that we are very pesky on ball denials and get a lot of steals. That's what has really been a key tonight. Tons of steals.
@Kcmatt7 Fought to keep him.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in OU Game:
That's been an offensive foul all day but okay
Imagine college refs being consistent.
@BeddieKU23 i think he adds a shot over the off-season…
NBA guy if this happens.
@benshawks08 They defend the three well fwiw
Gradey being 1-5 is probably the most surprising part.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Generally good to have multiple players in the line-up that can shoot.
Zach is giving teams points on both ends when he is in there.
Goodness, neither team can shoot at all.

UK going to miss the tourney with a team a good coach has a shot at a FF with 😂
They were preseason top 5!!!
Wheeler stunk again. So glad we didn't get him.
Throw Rogan lmaooooo
@jayballer67 I feel like he should retire.
Recruit dudes and figure it out from there.
Given we have 18 more games minimum and I would suspect at least 20 in reality (ie we win the first round of Big12 tournament and against our likely 15/16 seed opp) I don't think 300 more points is a stretch for him at all. That's 15 a game if we do which is close to his floor this year due to his volume.
As soon as Bill fully adopted 4-out basketball we've been to a FF, had the consensus best team in 2020, won the title in 2022, and are absolutely one of the best 4 teams in the country at this moment.
He may have been later to adopt it than we would have liked, but damn do I love that he saw the light. Shoot a ton of 3s and use your athleticism on D and in transition. It's been so fun to watch, but even better it has been effective. When you are KU and you can have 6 guys on your team that are 6'5 and above and shoot the 3 better than 33% you should use that to your advantage. Because the reality is most teams don't have that luxury...
Really hope he wins 1 or 2 more before he goes.
This really is so much of it. I really do believe he will for sure get 1 more if he coaches another 5+. It could be next year, depending on how some things break. Another year of improvement from Dajuan and KJ, more development from young post guys (Zuby really could be a plus version of KJ in some respects and is certainly a better rebounder). Kevin and Jalen are good players but like all college players this far in they have some weaknesses. Who replaces them is key. In a fantasy world where Gradey returns we would be the title favorite barring something nuts.
I also can't overstate how important Gradey is for this team. His gravity is absurd and that benefits everyone.
None of this is to discount this year of course, just thinking about the possibilities for Self's next title. I suspect we will have a tough road in the bracket this year.
Dooley has some silly title yeah? W/e we are calling it I am glad he is back as well.
Packers ^
@bskeet Self is one of the best to ever do it for sure. I think the NCAA situation pretty clearly relit his fire too.
The teams we played early are fortunate that's when we played them. Especially because of no Self.
@BeddieKU23 He's been playing well lately after a rough patch.
The shot doctor is nothing short of a miracle worker sometimes. Look at Dajuan out there lately as well.
Doesn't really matter in January but pretty remarkable how good this team is coming off a title and losing almost all the key pieces. This is not normal, Self is the best.
KU/KSU/ISU top 3 in the league???!

@Jethro said in West Virginia Game Saturday:
can you believe we were favored by 1?
No, it was a bad line..
Do not think they adjusted in time for the PG being out but either way it was bad.
@Kcmatt7 said in West Virginia Game Saturday:
Has Bill mastered getting us to play loose?
Last couple years yes. Special groups of players.
Helluva play by Bob there.
@approxinfinity said in West Virginia Game Saturday:
Whats up with Dajuan?
Had some foul trouble. Ankle could still be bugging him. He's a warrior tho.
Wait until Bill unleashes Bobby next year. He isn't being asked to score right now mostly and is primarily the back-up 1.
CHIEEEEEEEEFS
@BeddieKU23 said in West Virginia Game Saturday:
West Virginia 11 below their foul average for a game. Incredible refs
I was told Kansas gets all the calls.

Some of these makes from WVU I'm just laughing
It caught up with them eventually. Now finish.

Pretty damn good class when this is the other guy in it to this point.

Strong last couple classes for that.
@Kcmatt7 said in Other games:
KSU fans don’t think Tang gets poached as soon as a better job comes available 😂
Oh no...
@Kcmatt7 It's tough but you have to go Drew right? He has a title..
@Kcmatt7 Yeah I've seen enough of Udeh and Zuby that I think both should be good players for us before it's over.

@Jethro said in Other games:
The Clones for real?
Yes. You could argue they have the third best coach in the league with Beard gone.
@dylans said in KU vs Tech Game Thread:
Udeh is raaaaaw. Like if a steak came out that raw I’m pretty sure a good vet could bring it back raw. I hope he figures it out. Lots of potential, but man am I glad for KJ’s play.
Glad someone else sees it too.
Kentucky is bad.
