It is actually funny how embarrassed you'd have to be as a UNC fan. #1 preseason to missing the tourney is something fan bases will troll you about for YEARS.
Also this is a reminder that legacy hires may not be the best route to go when replacing Bill...
Legacy hires = disaster practically every time it's tried.

@drgnslayr You really can see how good of a coach K was after watching this crap show. (Always knew Roy was legit!)
Really? I was thinking the opposite. You put a kid who has no clue what hes doing in for K and they have about the same resume. Duke didnt get out of the first round something like 4 times under K since Self last got knocked out first round
Coach K won 5 national titles in 3 different eras of college basketball he knew how to coach and adaptto different eras. Upsets are more prone to happen with younger teams. Look at the years Self didn’t make it past the weekend and those are pretty much least experienced teams at KU. You can dislike him all you want, but to diminish his accomplishments is just plain ignorance and stupidity.
We have always paid Coach K the ultimate compliment- we hate his f***king guts. If you want to worship him, I'm sure there are better places to do that than here.
Why do you hate him? Is it because he won at an extremely high level for so long with several high profile wins over KU during that time? Acknowledging that Coach K won titles in different eras doesn't mean I'm worshipping him, it means I'm acknowledging that he was a great coach over a very long period of time and was able to successfully adapt to different eras of college basketball.
I already told you why I hate him. I don't hate him because he sucks . I hate him because he's good. Other than the rotten personality, making everything all about him all the time (especially the retirement year), the lucky break he got when Archie Marshall went down in the FF, his sanctimonious lecturing of opposing players, and the fact he looks like the most unhappiest human being on earth, I love the freaking crap out of the original Rat face. No one will ever convince me he didn't get the easiest draws in the history of the sport on several of those natties. And no one will ever convince me that Bill isn't a better coach. So, you love him, I hate him.

What did everyone think of the 16 team release today? I really hope we can get the Midwest.
It's outdated and meaningless. In one day.
That was right there with Miami and UNC as comebacks go. Yes, we were only down 6 to Miami, but it was such a hurricane 2nd half, it was astonishing. Just like yesterday. And the beauty of yesterday's win was the whole country was watching.
@kjayhawks said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
@Jethro about the defense in the first half. Don’t act like you was impressed with it or anyone else here for that matter.
87-71. BEAUTIFUL. Coach Self is a GENIUS. Maybe we were spotting Baylor a lead so we could come back in front of the national championship team. Maybe it was simply a tribute to last year's team, who erased a 15 point lead to win the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. I almost think we were just playing with our food. I know you must be as excited as I am over this amazing victory.
@kjayhawks said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
Bob and Juan were terrible in the first half, think they combined for 20 here in the second. My issue with Bob is how bad he is defensively
Still shaking your head? 87-71.
BEAUTIFUL!
Wrestling match with Clones vs. Silo Tech. There are 5 fouls both ways every possession.
Here's a treasure you don't find every day:

Feeling confident, this could be an electric game. The crowd will likely be the loudest it’s been all season & for good reason. Revenge game & obviously we need to win to stay in first place in the Conference race.
I’m just hoping I sleep tonight, I’m pumped for this one.
We need to find a way to take away one of their 3 guards from making 3’s in bunches. Last game it was Cryer (5-11). He’s 12-17 from 3 in his last 2 games & has avg 25 ppg.
Baylor is 35th in the country in attempts from 3 per game at 44% & because of that they are Top 15 in offensive rebounding rate so it’s a two-prong battle. KU must limit 3’s and board the long misses.
This time they have Every-Day John, Jonathan Tchamwa-Tchatchoua & he’s given them a lift off the bench filing a role they had been missing. Baylor is full strength.
KU must attack this team in the paint, Baylor’s block % is 269th in the country. Keep doing what they been doing, paint touch after paint touch and wear this team out.Great post!
We will need good bench performances... especially from Joe.. playing D! I think he could be our key player in this one because he is capable of gluing on to shooters and we need bench relief so our guards can go full tilt in this one for 40 minutes.
I know the focus is on guard play in this game... as it should be... but we have to look at what supports guard play. TEMPO! Rebounding! Steals! The same formula that worked on OSU except it's a much harder situation to get high TOs against a team like Baylor and their guards. But we have to keep the pressure high... high energy defense... and if we do that we will prevent them from a comfortable flow. Baylor is a great team... when their flow is there. But they can look horrible when playing out of sync.
So if we rebound well and force some TOs, we can get out and run and we are looking like one of the better teams in America in the open court!
We have to force OUR TEMPO in this game! Period!
Run like the wind. They aren't great at defense, so we should be able to break 80.

Love it- also love the 349 consecutive sellout gif that's making the rounds. The next closest in the b12 had like 4 straight sellouts.

@Crimsonorblue22 - LMU has only 28 pts. Tough to come out for the 2nd half…
For perspective, LMU beat St Mary's a week ago.

@Jethro Purdue really had the gaudy record based on a weakened BIG this year I think.
I think Wisconsin will beat them, too.

Looks like the guys are bearing down in practice :
What the hell lmao - look pretty tense. -- Kevin sur doesn't look like that ankle to bad bouncing around lol. - - And Grady just doing - -just doing -well Grady just doing Grady lol
I don't when that was recorded. Prob before the ankle problem.
Purdue gets hammered again. I watched that game, and Maryland was faster and tougher. Purdue literally has no quickness, and they let teams get whatever they want. I hope they lose a few more, and end up as our 2 seed in our bracket.
Looks like the guys are bearing down in practice :
These are the games that Bill circles. He's going to have a turned up team and a turned up crowd, with lots of former stars in the house. I think we'll be electrifying. I think we'll win by double digits.
@benshawks08 said in Bubble Watch:
@drgnslayr I’d add that we still haven’t seen a ton of defensive wrinkles this year as we often have in the past. How many times have we switched to a zone? Any box and 1? Or my favorite Bill self special, the triangle and two?
He’s certainly done some innovation and reinventing on the defensive side of the ball as well. We switch 5 (a thing I don’t see many other coaches doing). It seems like as you pointed out there are certain games where there’s a bigger emphasis on getting into the passing lanes. He’s also really mixed it up with bringing doubles or not against post feeds. Some determined by personnel. But when those doubles come and where they come from have also been interesting to watch. I’ve also like some small adjustments this team seems to be making within the switch five system. The communication is getting a little better to prevent the worst type of match ups with say Juan or Joe buried behind a 6-10 monster. They’ve been switching on the screen and then switching away from the ball to get one of our bigger guards into the post. Doesn’t happen all the time but something to watch. I think these situations could be contributing to the players playing on the gaps as you mentioned. Guys like Kevin and Jalen are being asked to really anticipate what’s happening and help the helpers helper type stuff. As this progresses I can see our defense really turning it up to end the year as those guys get into the passing lanes and really get a good scout on opposing teams down the stretch.
In my never coached anything more than 7th grade girls basketball mind wonder if there isn’t some box and 1 type defense that could highlight Kevin’s ridiculous anticipation ability. Like he’d be the one outside of the box but his job is just to figure out what the other teams plan is and blow it up. I know it’s not really feasible but I’d love to see what he could do in a freelance type situation.
He only runs the junk defenses when the regular defense doesn't work.

Well , Well , Well . Found this pretty interesting , Was scrolling the Baylor boards , happened to be in their football site. A poster stated that he was at the KU /Okie State game the other night , & had been invited to a little gathering where Yormork was the speaker.
He said Yormork stated that there was a major announcement coming in probably like 30 days - - maybe 60--- BUT chances are 30 days.--- stated we ARE going West - wanting in all 4 time zones Didn't say how many teams from the PAC would be add OR who would be added , but we are gong West. - -Also said he was still very interested in adding Gonzaga for Basketball but on the fence.
Here is the REAL interesting part that he said. - - He stated that he wanted to take the Conference INTEERNATIONAL. - -wanted to play some games in Mexico City - -WOW if that were to happen that would be crazy
Take 6 teams from the Pac 12 - 4 corners and Oregon and Washington.
@BShark I'm in...
@kjayhawks said in Bubble Watch:
@drgnslayr I truly think Coach K, Roy Williams and Bill Self are all top 5 all time coaches. Jimmy B at Syracuse looks like a guy that got lucky one time we couldn’t make free throws and he had Melo.
From UNI to Syracuse- seems like you're stuck in a time warp. Do you remember what happened last year? Seriously though, I detest booger picking Boeheim. Not on the same level at all with Coach Self.

@Kcmatt7 We're all Bulldogs tonite. I admit I enjoy silently trolling Rump Rafters when they struggle and then lose. It's a like a car wreck- not fun for them but you want to see how smashed up the cars are, so you rubber neck.
Ha , you should see the K/State boards today - -OMG turn coats
I've seen stuff like that, too. Freaking ingrates. Johnson's layoff for 2 years is biting him in the butt, and Nowell's lucky streak finally ran out. You gotta give them credit- they made it to the top 10 and actually beat us before it all fell apart... like I told them it would. They got to imagine what it would be like to be a KU fan for a few weeks, and now reality has pulverized them into a surly mood. Run off the coach? I say...run off the fans! And the Frans, too.
Crazy B12 stat of the day: the B12 has 10 non Quad 1 losses TOTAL ( Yes, I verified it). B10 - 41. Big East - 46. SEC - 54. ACC - 100+.
Not surprised. He'll be coaching next year somewhere, i'll bet. Maybe we should chip in and buy his gf a football helmet.
@jayballer67 When you recruit to the NBA, these are the results you get. In 2015, they were 38-0 and got beat in the FF by Wisky. They had 7 future NBA players on that team. How many do they have this year? I think when Dook stepped in and demanded half the action from Nike, Coach Squid's shelf life ended. And Tucky is left with arguably the worst x and o coach in the history of the game.

I sure hope St Mary's is either a 4 or a 5 seed in our bracket.

OSU shot 50% from the floor, 47% from three and shot 9 more fts. They lost by double digits. My goodness.
Hell we shot 54 % from the floor against the # 1 defensive team in league play--- - that's pretty good it'self
Told you...
2 road wins in a row. Very impressive.

I wish they would keep track of total fouls, but I think it’s really just a bonus/double bonus count.
They have okie st's total listed ( 6). They have nothing for us...
