@DoubleDD I look for Haith to hit the road at some point this year.

We play TCU on Saturday.
@Crimsonorblue22 Does he think the folks in Tulsa won't find out?
They have wins to set aside?
**Missouri officials announced on Wednesday that a 19-month investigation into its men's basketball program has uncovered multiple rules violations, including donors providing impermissible benefits to players and at least one prospect.
The violations occurred under former coach Frank Haith, who is now the coach at Tulsa.
Neither current coach Kim Anderson nor anybody on his staff were involved.
Missouri has vacated all wins from the 2013-14 season and will lose one of its men's basketball scholarship in 2015-16 and another no later than the 2017-18 season. Beyond that, the Tigers are banned from this postseason, meaning they will not compete in the SEC Tournament or any other postseason competition sanctioned by the NCAA.
One donor, who committed Level I violations, has been permanently disassociated.
Another donor, who committed Level II violations, has been disassociated for two years.
"We will win at Mizzou and do so with integrity and class," said Missouri AD Mack Rhoades. "I am satisfied the University fully cooperated with the NCAA and will continue to do so. We must do better and we will. Our working relationship with the current men's basketball staff is strong, and I am confident in their commitment to upholding our standards."
This is the second time a program run by Haith has encountered NCAA issues.
The 2012 AP National Coach of the Year served a five-game ban to open the 2013-14 season while at Missouri because of violations that happened on his watch at Miami, where he coached from 2004 to 2011. CBS Sports' attempt to reach Haith for comment Wednesday afternoon was not immediately successful.
You can read Missouri's full report here.
"We are obviously very disappointed that the actions of a few individuals have put our program in this situation," Anderson said. "However, I am appreciative to Mack Rhoades and our staff for their guidance and support throughout this process. I hurt for our kids more than anything and for our only senior, Ryan Rosburg, in particular. But I am confident we will overcome this and be stronger as a team and as a staff because of it. We are committed to representing this great university and state with honor and integrity."

We have a game Saturday against TCU.
@drgnslayr 1,100 lbs of screaming steel and sex appeal...all the ladies call us "big'en"...all the men call us sir....RCJHGKU...
Granny, Ellie Mae, Jed and I are going to cook up a mess of fried frog come Saturday. We're almost done with the mini-wheelchairs, so our little frog friends can wheel themselves home.
@HighEliteMajor 5 ranked teams on the road last night, and 1 out of 5 won.
@drgnslayr It's a loss - not a dealbreaker.
@nuleafjhawk That is a HOF line.
@approxinfinity Where in the world was Carmen San Diego...errr...Hunter Michelson? I was ready to file a missing person report.
@Khubar_Jayhawk Nice to have you, troll monkey. I guess you don't have alot to do during basketball season at Misery.
i can do this the whole game...every offensive possession we are getting mauled...
smh....
wayne wasn't hit on the arm...he must've just lost the ball for no reason...
and Perry wasn't tackled on that rebound...right, it was just a jump ball...
frank must've hit himself in the eye...
Perry was fouled 4 times on that last drive...
@DCHawker So, because we had more fouls in the first half at AFH, that has what to do with getting screwed over by the refs tonight? I understand you're trying to create a narrative based on our fouling, but I was commenting about tonight's thugfest.
@BeddieKU23 not in west virginia...
@DCHawker 19-9. the phantom over and back call...they kicked the ball and it wasn't called...home cooking...
@DinarHawk I'm blaming them. We're getting mauled every offensive possession.
@DoubleDD i don't agree. i think we'll come back 2nd half.
he kicked the damn ball...
we need some work on transition ...
@KUSTEVE Hey, watch your language...
i hate mushburger...
how many f*cking times are we going to hear "they're not intimidated"...
I hate our games with the Hillbillies- they're just ugly foulfests...
@Crimsonorblue22 I knew that.
@Bill-Self Negative posts or critical posts? There were people complaining about LL and Jamari playing within minutes of our OT win over OU. Now, that set me off. There are several posters who will be critical, sometimes quite critical, but I think it's more like parents loving their kids. Does Dad love them less because he lays down the law, and is critical of their behavior? I think the guys that critique our team love KU as much as those who don't ever have a problem or issue with our coach or our team. Just my opinion.
@Crimsonorblue22 I'm not anti-anybody. I love all our players. I thought the last few games, I've seen some real good play from LL and Jamari. I don't expect Diallo to be anointed with their minutes right away. At the same time, I want to see Bragg and Diallo get more time on the floor. Like, when we're up by 20. I'd love to see Vick get in there as well.
@Bill-Self Not sure why you chose to ask that I "give them a break". I certainly "give them a break" a lot more than most on here. Perhaps you missed my first post:
"He looks for reasons to play Jamari and LL, and he looks for reasons to not play Hunter, Diallo, and Bragg. I definitely think Jamari is up there in the team hierarchy as a 5th year senior. He is probably used by Self as an example to the younger players of hard work and defense translating to minutes. If he didnât play Jamari, all those speeches he made recognizing Jamari for everything he has overcome to the young guys would look a little silly. Self hates being beat on the boards, and he puts in LL when he thinks he needs size. He doesnât need Hunterâs scoring ability, and he considers LL a better rebounder. He doesnât play Diallo and Bragg because they arenât part of the team hierarchy - thyâre still outsidersâŚrookies that have to prove themselvesâŚAND weâre in the hunt for a national title, and he simply wonât take losses to develop these guys.
Iâm like dragonslayer on this - itâs hard for me to question the results âŚnumber 1 in the nation should give you lots of leeway to run the team as you see fit. That doesnât mean HEM is wrong- the numbers are pretty clear. But teams arenât always about numbers. There are pecking orders formed on every team, and I think Jamari and LL are higher on the team pecking order than their numbers show. Just my opinion- I have no empirical proof, so please take it as such."
@justanotherfan I keep thinking Morningstar in all this like you. The Peter Principle.

@RockChalkinTexas They made the Top 10 in the Coaches poll. Devin made the top 10 in the thug poll, btw.
@wrwlumpy I saw Jerry West, Gail Goodrich, and of course...Wilt Chamberlain in the "Fabulous Forum" in LA when I was in the 6th grade. They were in the midst of their record setting 33 game winning streak. That would've been in 1971, I believe. I was so far up in the stands, I could barely make out the players, but I could certainly make out Wilt and the gold headband.
@drgnslayr My favorite player on the team.
@wrwlumpy LOL.
@ralster It's been the whole problem, imo.
@tundrahok You can even use your cellular telephone to pull up the internet, I heard...
Typical road conference game - grind it out. Keep winning. Style points don't count.
@Crimsonorblue22 I'm ready for the game to begin...
Speaking of gophers....
@Crimsonorblue22 HEY...no need to run up the score!
@Crimsonorblue22 Zip in the zipper? I've heard that, too. I haven't noticed anything different.
@Crimsonorblue22 There's nothing like raw oysters. I eat them by the dozen.
@Crimsonorblue22 You can't win at everything. I was Chiefs fan for many years, but firing Marty was a bridge too far me.
The Texans and the Chiefs are a big game to me. I'll keep quiet who I'm rooting for.
@JRyman I fit right in...
