Yep about a month since he got his booster. Happened to him about 1 month after he got his first two shots last year. Weird
WV lost to Texas by 15. They have won 2 straight rather easily since. Looked good defensively the other day against Oklahoma St.
History says Self will get this all figured out. Right now it looks scary and concerning though and there's definitely things going on with this team we didn't anticipate would happen with all the depth.
Last night's game wasn't pretty by any means but it ended with something to work with. They won a Big-12 game against a ranked Team with a Top 5 defense per Kenpom when the game was on the line. That can jump-start things, I hope.
This team desperately needs a healthy Remy and its coach needs to continue to make smart lineup decisions. There are way too many lineups at times that make zero sense for the strength of this team which is supposed to be scoring the ball.
As far as expectations, right now they are a lot lower then I anticipated. We are still not an athletic team for the most part. We don't have 5 guys playing at a high level and we really need to get to 6 or 7 doing so and soon. The defense is not great and that will likely be the thing that lets us down further down the road. We'll see. If Remy gets healthy and other things start to come together then we'll see where we are at.
KJ started and barely played. Seemed like a message for both Mitch/Dave to get it together. Don't think it worked but perhaps Self should stick with it
Probably 14 or so wins gets it. Although I just don't see Baylor dropping that many more games. A loss will likely sharpen the knife a bit. Tech rode a heck of a wave for a week even short some of their best players.
If 14 wins gets it done and KU is 2-1 currently I'd say road games against at Iowa St, Baylor & West Virginia are the most likely losses. I don't see how this team goes 14-4 currently in league play. I would have to assume a lot of things go right. We probably will have a few more hotly contested home games given the remaining teams that have yet to come to Allen. They won't go undefeated at home if they don't hit that next stride as @kcmatt says in another thread, this team isn't playing to its potential, yet. I'm optimistic last nights win kind of lit the fire a bit. Things like that can easily lead to positive momentum for a team that's going through some things
Feb 5th seems like a good "must win" game against Baylor at home. KU has a stretch of Tech, Kentucky, Iowa St, Baylor, Texas and I think its a must to go at least 3-2 in that sequence.
From what I've seen so far Tech has to be the team that could win considering they have the two biggest wins already. They are still short a very important piece and their defense seems like its borderline really good.
I think it was great to see the team react, execute to that late game situation with the game on the line. That really hasn't been something the team has dealt with much so far. I think that win does a lot of good for guys mental state. They know they didn't play great but got a hard fought win despite that and injuries etc.
Bad ball is back baby
All the credit to Harris. Great play

@DanR Wow, thanks. Remy clearly needed to rest that knee. What's up with Zach?
In a boot. Stepped on someone I believe
Bobby? Me too
We need a pg who can do more then just look to pass.
