@BShark

Wouldn't be surprised if he turned them down. Uncertainty at coach, Stokes only a Soph and they have 3 other young guards coming in next year. Maybe wanted to get out of state. It's a good fit for him, he wasn't KU material but he'll do okay there

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! • Feb 27, 2017 02:42 PM

@BShark

Definitely its smart that he's taking the 3's that are the highest percentage. Spot on with the Releford comp

Big-12 Tourney as of today • Feb 27, 2017 01:29 PM

@Hawk8086

Yeah seeds 2-5 are still fluid as of today. Nobody from the bottom 5 of the conference can really make any movement. Oklahoma St could lose its last 2 games and still be a #5 seed in our half.

Oklahoma St is arguably the hottest team in the conference. If we were to sweep the regular season series on Saturday we are possibly playing them twice in a week if they were to beat Baylor in the Quarterfinal. Not exactly the situation we would want, its really difficult to beat a team 3 times, much less playing a team that is playing its best basketball and is a really good offensive team.

Can't take credit. Some guy generates these brackets on his own..

As it stands today KU doesn't seem like its being rewarded for being the #1 if this was the bracket.

A lot will go down in this last week. 10 teams makes it such a guantlet

2017 - #1 and the streak ends! • Feb 27, 2017 11:21 AM

@drgnslayr

Ball is a lot of fun to watch. My father is a huge Bruin fan and I told him Ball was going to change their team. He doesn't keep up with the recruits so he didn't believe me after their losing season. Recently he goes this is the best kid to come through UCLA in a long time. I agreed, he's such an unique talent.

The Ball's father is a complete moron though. He's making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately

Landen Lucas Injury • Feb 27, 2017 11:20 AM

@BShark

Slighly concerned about this.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! • Feb 27, 2017 11:19 AM

Jackson is 50% from 3 over the past 11 games (18 of 36). FT's slightly up to 62% in February.

Non-KU games • Feb 27, 2017 11:01 AM

@JayHawkFanToo

Big chance to stop the bleeding tonight against WVU. Strong non-conference will keep them in the discussion for a top-3 seed. If they don't start playing better they probably don't deserve it. I think a lot of Baylor's struggles have to do with Al Freeman's struggles. He was averaging 11 points a game for most of the season and then the rug has fell out from under him the past month +.

First 17 games - 11 points a game

Last 11 games - 5 points a game including 3 DNP's for suspension

Without Freeman as that 3rd scorer Baylor is really hurting..

@Texas-Hawk-10

Roles are reversed, Texas doesn't care about Basketball, Kansas only cares about Basketball.

But I would think Texas would want someone who didn't set the program back 30+ years with this season. 2 NBA prospects, 6 Top 100 kids. Barnes would have done more with this talent

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! • Feb 27, 2017 10:45 AM

This is the worst Texas season in 34 years. Shaka pack your bags

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! • Feb 26, 2017 06:07 PM

@ralster

I don't know how you judge a 10-19 season and soon to be 20+ loss season with anything but starting over. That season wouldn't be allowed at almost any Power 5 school especially one with a brand name as Texas. I'm usually one that likes to give the benefit of a doubt to coaches as often decisions are made hastily and without thought but Texas has to find someone who can win and its not this guy

@ralster

Bingo, the hot hand often gets rewarded!

Dwight Coleby! • Feb 26, 2017 06:02 PM

@jayballer54

Definitely we know Bragg isn't going to give us the kind of production he did against TCU every game. This is arguably Coleby's 3rd big game of the season (Georgia, Kentucky) and now Texas. At Ole Miss he always played well against Kentucky and Florida so I'm confident if his number gets called that he'll be good against the better competition.

@BeddieKU23 I'm not sure, I know brag played very little yesterday - -because of his two quick fouls, but then in the 2nd half I don't think he played at all maybe , maybe a minute or two, but what I was going to say was they scanned the KU bench once and it showed SVI & Bragg and Braff if not both looked like they were sulking like little kids, ticked off cause they wasn't playing. - -Well just a little FYI get your dam head in the game, play with some intensity act like you know how and want to play some defense and you WILL play. - Didn't know if you had picked up on that or not. - Played Coleby a lot more - -which he should have. Dwight played a nice game yesterday, give us some much need help to Landen when he got in foul trouble. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I did see it but I'm sure any kid on the bench is going to have moments where the expression could be taken out of context. Svi is in a slump, Bragg is well...Yeah..Basically wouldn't read into it much

Shaka's canned enthusiasm has worn off on a crowd that really isn't hardcore basketball in the first place.

If I'm the AD and witnessed that game.. your getting someone new asap

@HighEliteMajor said:

@BeddieKU23 That's good .. because they're pretty bad. Jarrett Allen, though, would have looked mighty nice in a KU uniform.

Yupp Allen is a stud. Lazy defender but can rebound and protect the rim. He's the OAD we hoped Diallo or Alexander would have been

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! • Feb 26, 2017 02:38 PM

That was the most embarrassing home crowd I've ever seen for KU coming to town. How do you play well consistently when you can hear a pin drop half the game. Texas truly doesn't care how bad their basketball team is

Coleby ... the Jeff Graves of 2017, albeit a bit late?

And Bragg. I am at a loss …

Good comp hope he can make free throws better then Graves if called upon in the tourney

Dwight Coleby! • Feb 26, 2017 02:33 PM

@ralster

Always thought highly of Coleby but I admit there has been points in the season where there was doubt if he would ever contribute here and if he would play basketball going forward. Coach was right he is getting some of his old self back and it's coming at the right time. We can certainly use his positive play a few minutes here and there as Bragg continues his merry go round of contributions. Coleby is legit size and knows his role, rebound block shots and pick up the pieces around the rim. Junkyard dog.
