Jalen has 25 points and the rest of the team has 19. That has to change quickly
How tho? These guys can't shoot
All of a sudden we don't have another guy who can. It's concerning
McCullar refuses to shoot. What's the point then
Awesome pass to no one juan
Harris dick and adams are 2-16. Gotta change
Hard to win with nobody who can shoot but wilson
Great job juan
Good job kj and coaches. What a shitshow

@BeddieKU23 if Dick or Juando hit their open looks this half too.
Both are struggling mightily
If Jalen gets to 40 I like our chances
Big time JALEN
Kevin is the worst transition guard I've ever seen
Not our day.
Good job guys
It's called a pass
Have to match
Here we go again can't make shots
Ku doesn't have a rebound yet
Jalen might have 40 today so let's keep getting him good looks
Another redic turnover there
Kevin has given up about 12 points so far.
Man this a big game
Just win
Yeah they are a top transition team. West Virginia held them in check and won because of it.
Last year TCU played us really tough and those guys are all back again. We have to hit shots because they have dudes. Miller is going to try and slow Wilson down much like Hill did for OU. Hopefully Jalen wins that match-up.
Harris has a tougher match-up then Nowell was in Miles who has played well against KU his entire career it feels like. Another key matchup
Yeah they are not getting minutes and it's unfortunate but the minutes crunch has happened and they are on the wrong side of it. I hope they both stick around and continue to grind at it because they are much bigger pieces to this team next year if they do.
We've always known Self to take responsibility whether he needs to or not.
The timeout before Jalen's shot is a typical spot for any coach to call TO and regroup. I will say that in some other situations this year Self has let them play when he's had the opportunity to call timeout. Jalen was having a career night and the shot he got off after the timeout was significantly worse than the one, he was lining up to can. Guys were tired and execution wasn't at its sharpest point.
Kevin needs to step it up on offense and his decision making. He hasn't been normal since the Tech game.
I don't know how we spell Harris more minutes without a drop off at PG. I love Bobby but he's not giving the team enough in his minutes lately from a production standpoint. A lot of zeros across his stat sheet. Looking a lot like Juan was his redshirt freshman year, not confident or aggressive enough in just making plays. Even though he's cemented in the lineup I still think he's playing to not make mistakes instead of playing to the best of his abilities.
Zach is back to getting some burn. Some good, some bad. That's how every backup big is right now. They are certainly not Mitch from a year ago. We miss him dearly off the bench..
I think we have this preconceived notion from MJ's recruitment that he wouldn't buy in. We haven't seen any sign of that here and every chance he's gotten to say something he's said the right things. If it's just injuries, then it's bad luck, sort of like Bobby last year. I have no idea what he will do after the season but man he has to see the improvements guys make after a year here & trust in patience and the process. Plus all the guys playing in front of him right now probably won't be here next season which only adds to getting healthy, getting that mind set ready to be a dude next season. If he doesn't want in on that, byeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Some stuff from Self's presser yesterday:
Takes responsibility for the timeout before Jalen's shot, late game management where KU didn't get a shot off in regulation or OT at end.
Udeh had his wisdom teeth removed last week.
MJ isn't "whole". Mentions MJ has said he has gotten to halftime some games and said he cannot go.
Loves Kevin and what he's brought and expects to see him play better. Mentioned he needs to get a bit better at forgetting about missed shots. Brought Jalen into the conversation mentioning how he never remembers a miss.
Talked about Harris- mentions him getting warn down, hit head hard (lucky not to have concussion), missed 3's he can make, few mistakes from being tired. Mentioned he guarded Nowell to season low in points. No concern.
Talked about Jalen- he played great. Mentioned Jalen saying the loss meant nothing and likes how Jalen's mindset was already moving forward. Mentioned Jalen played all 45 minutes and played his best defense in overtime.
Ideal bench rotation- 2 guards and a big. 7/8 deep is what he likes to use.
Ugh that one was awful. There's about 4 or 5 that really baffled me on re-watch of this game. Gradey was given no favors in this one.
Happens a lot actually. They have no life

Points-
Jalen passed LeGerald Vick for #48th all time on the scoring list. Jalen needs 18 points Saturday to pass David McCormack!

Yeah its been awful
This game was lost simply because KU couldn't shoot the ball from the perimeter. 6-29 just doesn't cut it, a majority of the shots were wide-open in rhythm takes. Sounds like tired legs & it looked like tired legs out there. Self-mentioned them being tired coming in. Shot 64% inside the arc. Missed 10 FT's, another growing issue.
At some point this team is going to have to shoot the ball with consistency to win games like this. Last night was a mess shooting the ball. There wasn't really any point in the game that KU strung together 4–5-minute stretches of made baskets. This game shouldn't have been this close.
He talks complementary of KU all the time but his in-game, in the moment commentary is nothing short of biased.
Fran sucks. I have nothing more to say that won't be offensive..
Whatever they deserved this loss
Nobody wants to do anything
Unless we sag and force a jumpshot a foul will be called
Fouls coming automatically
Are u kidding me
It's so pathetic
Just get to the line j will
Tripp3d himself ok
Whatever
Come on boys get this stop!!

That’s not a foul lol. Straight up
Doesn't matter. These guys are blind
Didn't even get the play executed
At least he made the shot difficult
