Self out of a timeout. Pure uncut happiness

Cb going for a record in turnovers tonight

Huggy Bear Game Thread • Feb 20, 2022 01:13 AM

Foul much

Huggy Bear Game Thread • Feb 20, 2022 01:12 AM

This game has a physicality that's just getting out of hand

Huggy Bear Game Thread • Feb 20, 2022 01:11 AM

Jalen is a top 10 rebounder in the self era

Huggy Bear Game Thread • Feb 20, 2022 01:10 AM

@Kcmatt7

I think he's better off the dribble tbh. He thrived in playing Kobe ball

That's accurate

Awful call

Why are the booing CB? Did he do something?

Just playing off the narrative that he's a player to hate. Espn been running that campaign since the athletic article came out

Fsu has had the worst string of injuries I've ever seen

Non-KU Games • Feb 19, 2022 11:59 PM

How is this Duke game so behind??

Non-KU Games • Feb 19, 2022 08:53 PM

Auburn is a good team that's a matchup problem for a lot of teams but they are not a championship team imo. Watched them a lot and I just don't see it

Non-KU Games • Feb 19, 2022 08:49 PM

Even if Florida wins this game they are just awful

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 19, 2022 07:26 PM

KU was a 1 seed in the preview bracket by the NCAA today.

However if you listened to ESPN today we aren't that good apparently

When Remy makes it back... • Feb 18, 2022 07:16 PM

Self is already resting guys. They had 2 days off after the game Monday. Began game prep for WVU yesterday. Game Saturday then 3 days til KSU at home, then another 3 til the big one at Baylor. The last week of the regular season is a cluster due to the TCU situation back in January. Will be interesting to see how that week is managed

Jalen • Feb 18, 2022 03:42 PM

@Kcmatt7

Haha, oh man, my thoughts exactly. I'm here for the heartbreak and happiness

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 18, 2022 03:35 PM

@Kcmatt7

At this point only 4 other teams could seriously be in contention for that last seed. Kentucky, Baylor, Purdue, Duke. Baylor lost a significant piece in Jonathan Chimmy-Changa & they haven't played like a #1 seed for a while now. They have 5 loses since Jan 1 as well. I don't see them as a serious threat to that spot. That leaves Kentucky, Purdue & Duke. Purdue probably has the best shot of the 3 since they lead the Big-10 & have a strong resume. Kentucky is playing 2nd fiddle in their own conference so seems unlikely unless they won out and won the SEC tourney over Auburn. Duke has the two big wins over Kentucky/Zaga that's going to keep them in the conversation even if the ACC is extremely down this year. I don't know how you could reward them with a #1 seed though when they haven't played a ranked team since November 26th.

When's the last time a top 10 Power 5 school went 3 months without facing a good team. SMH

Jalen • Feb 18, 2022 12:56 PM

Jalen's PER in conference play is 2nd on the team.

Dave- 27.9, Jalen- 23.4, Och- 21.7, Zach 21.1, CB 15.8

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 18, 2022 12:50 PM

KU back to a #1 seed in Bracketology.

OU & Iowa St on the last 4 byes

K-St on the next four out.

I really had to remember who Karviar Shepherd was :hear-no-evil_monkey:

@approxinfinity said in When Remy makes it back...:

@Zabudda i would like to see joe get a couple games to play through all mistakes and show us what he can do from end to end.

I think you will see that next yr

@Texas-Hawk-10

Agree we are an injury away from how every season goes really. We always have an issue keeping players healthy.

However I think this Remy situation is more then the knee and that's why I would not expect him back even if injury forced Selfs hand. Just my two cents

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 17, 2022 02:08 PM

@BShark

I would be surprised if we win out as well. It would certainly validate a #1 seed if they did. I definitely expect the road game at Baylor to be difficult to win and the back to back against TCU in 3 days also problematic.

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 17, 2022 01:43 PM

@BShark said in Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success:

This team doesn't feel like a one seed but they might sneak into that spot...

Bracket Matrix has them as the 4th #1 seed right now just above Kentucky/Baylor. Winning out and no doubt they'll be a 1 seed.

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 17, 2022 12:35 PM

Dug a little deeper.

KU has been a #1 seed in the tourney 8 times under Self. When KU is a 1 seed they average 3 wins in the tourney. Only once (09-10) did they not advance past the first weekend.

As a #2 Seed, average 2 wins with 2 round losses & a title runner-up.

As a #3 Seed, average 1 win with best finish Sweet 16.

As a #4 seed, average 1 win with best finish an Elite 8.

As a 1 seed the average Self team outscored opponents by 14.67 ppg. As a 2-4 seed, Self teams outscored opponents by an avg of 9ppg.

On Offense, the 6 highest scoring teams under Self- 1 championship, 1 Final 4, 3 Elite 8's, 1 2nd round exit.

On Defense, the 6 best defensive teams under Self- 1 Championship, 1 title runner-up, 1 Elite 8, 1 Sweet 16, 1 first round exit, Cancelled tourney.

Right now this is the 7th highest scoring offense under Self per game & 14th overall for points given up per game. The 4 teams that gave up more points per game- 1 Final 4, 1 Elite 8 & 2 2nd round exits.

@BeddieKU23 The article is fine. The header is at best misleading.

Oh I was agreeing with you the absurdity of the headline.

@Kcmatt7

Yeah I can't even talk about the 12-13 year. It's beyond a sore subject but it is what it is. Very interesting to see the metrics for this year's team close to those 2 teams. It was good to see perhaps this team has a s16 or higher ceiling. Really looks like matchups are going to be so important for us this yr

When Remy makes it back... • Feb 16, 2022 01:44 PM

Will Remy have to return the Camry??

Kenpom rating vs NCAA tourney success • Feb 16, 2022 11:36 AM

Interesting taking this current team and comparing to the team below and above them.

One makes the finals the other lost in the Sweet 16. Both of those teams had Top 5 defenses with below average offenses compared to Self's avg in 19 seasons.

@BeddieKU23 Excellent work! Now you need to find more ways to fill up that extra time on your hands...

Well it was either this or picking up golf, which right now is rather difficult right now as the land is buried in snow.
