Is down to KU, AZ, USC, Oregon and Cal.
One of these things is not like the others.

Texas got hammered last night by 19 to Northwestern. Shaka trying to follow Charlie out the door?
Shaka is trash
He made like what, at least 3 SC top 10 plays? Maybe 4? Kid is a stud.

Was it Fran that said Kansas can't compete for a National Championship without strong post play? He made it a general statement, like it can't be done by anyone.
As I recall... UCONN's last trophy was won by a guard-heavy team that didn't have much of a post presence.
I'm not saying we shouldn't focus on improving our post play... that is one area where we can make huge improvements. I just didn't like how Fran framed it.
Nova too.

Exactly we just don't have an option in the post that can be trusted with the ball.
Josh might be our best option, the kid is a natural scorer. Need to see more of those looks.
Lots of threads about the post performance to choose from, but I'm going with this one. It's definitely a problem, that said UAB is pretty good inside defensively. This was always a game that our perimeter players were going to have to win. And I mean, if you were one of the guards on this KU team would you really want to feed Lucas the ball? :confounded:
I was not aware of this but I like it.
I feel we didn't play small ENOUGH in this game, maybe I'm crazy though I'll need to rewatch.
Not sure that Josh is even mentally capable of "protecting the merchandise" as jaybate calls it.
Josh killed the weird looking dragon mascot.
ROUGH EM UP MITCH
Love Graham taking that foul. He was like oh shit my boy is hurt.
GET FRANK OUT OF THE GAME
Is that poster for sale yet? Because I want it.
Josh is incredible.

Can't see Bragg in the nba
His inner circle thinks so though. Now, if he is projected late 2nd or undraftable then maybe. It would be GREAT if he did come back though.
Mitch is just out there on the bench living our dream.
Josh is our best low post scorer ha.

The drawing a charge thing pisses me off. Guys aren't even playing basketball, they're just trying to take advantage of the rulebook. The rules are for the game, not the game for the rules.
Amen fam
@chriz said:
These refs are putting on an amazing show. Glad I tuned in.
UAB players working on a tech there. My goodness this has been brutal. Really hated the charge call on Graham.
pffffffffffffffft
Oh thanks ESPN. #dumbcameraangle
I mean...you see the way we started both halfs. No way this game should have EVER been close my word.
@chriz said:
And I'm loving how Lucas isn't trying to go back up all the time, sending it back out.
Like Fran said, he should never forget who he is.
MUCHHHHHHH better effort here.
@stoptheflop said:
@Bwag I see the Blazer D sagging on the post players.
Need to zip around passes and get open threes.
My word Bruce mishandled Marcus Foster.
Look at these guys making excuses for a bad UConn team.
I feel like you have to get Svi in there when that happens. Smart passer and can make shots.
@BeddieKU23 said:
This team just got away from any offense once they zoned and started saging men in the paint and on mason. Bad ball. Self will yell at them plenty
Going to see this A LOT going forward so hopefully they figure it out.
Preston and SO Doke is a very good front line and Preston can score from anywhere.
This is why getting Preston was MASSIVE assuming he does make it to campus.

Those 3s are the definition of fools gold
Not at this point. We need to see some success from 3
Yep. Volatile team due to the lack of a post scorer. So atypical for a Self team but this is what happens when you struggle to recruit post players due to the Alexander/Diallo crap.
@BeddieKU23 said:
They are literally not even playing hard right now
They thought it was over at 20-1
Move the ball, get a bucket. Shocking.
@BeddieKU23 said:
Dirk williams career night
Yep. So random. Josh guarded him well on that last make too.
Bah gawd King, that's Coleby's music. Self is pissed.
@chriz said:
They're making tough shots and we're missing easy shots.
It kinda started this way but UAB is just playing better now. Blocking shots and such.
That last three was nuts but when you let a team get confident.
I mean....this is crazy. Felt like we had 20 points like 3 minutes in and then 7 the rest of the way.
Had them on the mat and let them get back up.
Just can't even score now. Ridiculous.
@kjayhawks said:
Maybe we should you know run some offense maybe just once to see what its like.
Sounds ridiculous. lol
Fran talking about LoVett who may have been a Jayhawk if he wasn't a non-qualifer.

Great Mason holding his wrist
Frank his always nursing an injury it seems. He is tough.
