WHO IS READY TO WATCH UN YOUNG LOSE TO URI?
Seems how I have Rhode Island winning I'm watching
Vegas is playing this one well. I would hammer the over
BShark said:
@BeddieKU23 Computers now saying 20 point win. Not sure about that but I think KU covers 13.5.
We should be very concerned if we don't cover.
I don't see anyway we should be excited if we struggle to beat them.
Penn hopes to do a lot of things every 16 seed hopes to do every year. We have a gigantic talent advantage at every position and just need to play to it.
I would love to see us up double digits at half and visually looking like the team we were last weekend
Their 2-7 record vs teams with a winning record would suggest they are rightfully a 16 seed. We'll see. I think we crush them
Working til noon. I almost took the day off but if we get further into the bracket I want to save those "get out of work days" for that possibility.
If I wasn't working I would have continued with our bathroom reno

@BeddieKU23 Would we ever think about taking a former player - bringing back here? - I don't know just asking. - Say Danny - - or Turgeon? - would we ever consider taking that risk? - - - I think Danny might be able to do ok here - -not sure about Mark strong KU ties - -just asking - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Danny is really struggling at Wake. He can get talent but he's really struggled everywhere else. Turgeon has had some good years. I would say neither has done enough. Haase had a tough year at Stanford but will have a team full of his kids next season.
One name we really haven't thought of is our own assistants. Howard is young, recruiting very well recently and the players seem to really like and relate to him. Just a thought..
Never too early to get this one up and running.
Let's start a memorial, magical journey today to San Antonio...

Penn went 2-7 against teams with winning records.
wow and we are worried why? Hope its 2-8 after today
JayHawkFanToo said:
Lots of posters are taking for granted Seton Hall will beat NC State, I am not sure it will happen.
Yes. Considering NC St has proven they can beat better teams I would say they would be the slight favorite to win today.

It's a lousy break to be a junior at a school where the coach gets fired/leaves. You either have to pick up and find somewhere else, or stick around and figure out a new regime. Maybe everything works out, but maybe it doesn't and you end up in a lousy situation. With transfer rules the way they are, it's really in most guys best interest to shoot for graduating in three years, that way if they don't have pro aspirations, they at least have some say in where they finish their playing career. Remember, for most, their senior year in college will be the last basketball they will ever play. To have to either sit a year, or pick up an entirely new system isn't exactly a dream scenario.
Absolutely agree. If the transfer rules change (and there's certainly talk of it happening) a player like Adams in the future might be able to transfer for his last year and not sit if he's not grad transfer eligible. Anytime a coach is fired kids should always have the option to seek a different opportunity.
If Beard continues what he's doing he's got a chance for a big job down the road. I think he's waiting for the Texas job to open up though personally.
I mentioned Chris Holtmann from Ohio St. Took over the job at Butler and parlayed that into the Ohio St job. Gets two Top 100 prospects in his first year (1 stayed committed, 1 he signed late), two more Top 100 prospects in 2018. He signed kids from California, Jersey & Texas which is also important to look at with recruiting, can someone recruit nationally. Defensive minded coach who turned around a bad Ohio St team in 1 year.
The person that fits the criteria you laid out was Jay Wright in my opinion. Makes a living recruiting outside the OAD range. Brunson was a 5 star recruit and could be named POY. Bridges was a Top 100 kid and could be a lottery pick in this years draft. He recruits kids with no ego and maximizes talent as well as anyone. Not only that he flat out out-coached Self the last time they faced in a pretty important game..

@BShark I've got a friend whose grandson plays for Marquette, Sam Hauser. Makes me kind of a marquette fan. His other grandson is going there next year.
I saw the younger Hauser is joining the team next year and is a Top 100 prospect

Saw Bruce on the news tonight, doesn't sound like positive news for dean wade. Game time decision.
That sucks for Wade. Don't feel bad for Weber
Matta declined Georgia job
Crean meeting with Pitt
Good site. Thanks
Good Catch on Akinjo.
I can see Vital looking around, still 2 more years to play.
Adams really is in a tough spot. Either he returns for whatever new regime takes over, tries to go pro or has to transfer and sit a year just to play 1. I don't think option #3 looks likely but who knows.
I heard from my Brewster friend Kisunas will look around, one of Uconn's recruits.

@BeddieKU23 Let's hope we don't need him!!!
I am a glass half full kind of guy and I think De Sousa will be up to the challenge of his first NCAA Tournament game and that he will be able to handle the 16 seed big men just fine.
If he plays like he did in the Big-12 tourney we will have no worries. However you just never know how a big with little experience will handle the pressure of the tourney.. Hopefully as well as he handled the pressure last week
Think fans are excited for KU in Wichita. Place over half full for a PRACTICE
BShark said:
@BeddieKU23 Otoh we saw Mawein go 13-19. Delgado is better than Mawein.
Mawein has some offensive skill. I wouldn't call Delgado a very skilled big down low, he's never been. He's a good college post player that knows what he's doing and rebounds at a high level. Seen a ton of him over the year.
My point is Delgado isn't going to beat us.
Doke practiced some today. 4 possessions worth Self said. Game time decision
BShark said:
@BeddieKU23 I heard a lot of bad things about Wilkes coming out of HS. Also he is a wing that thinks he is a PG.
Has no interest in defending either. My father is a big UCLA fan and is disgusted with Wilkes. Hopes he leaves
They probably could up his contract. I'm surprised he's not payed more given the NC and the success he's having every year now. I doubt however they could compete with say $4 million a year though and that would still give KU room even matching Self's current pay. All hypothetical of course.
Holtmann, yeah 46 but has done well at every stop. Big turnaround in year 1 at Ohio St. We'll see how they do in round 1. Bates-Diop became a different animal under him this year which you like to see. A former Top 30 prospect who flourishes with the right coach
