The guys do not like passing MJ the ball lol

Zuby is your starter Bill

@approxinfinity I think he airballed his first shot of the season and hasn’t let one rip since 😂

Zach not getting run is telling

This is a lineup I hope to never see again

Get up early, and get the youngsters some run! I want to see as much MJ, Udeh and Zuby as possible today.

@FarmerJayhawk I think we still have some residual "cool" factor right now too. Hopefully the staff has some of the transfers working their connections. I'd take another Ohio State backup or two...

I was actually encouraged by MJ's, albeit limited, play last game. If you can get him going and Juan can quit fouling that is a good enough guard rotation. And then I think you really just have to play Udeh and Zuby through the growing pains. Force them to be more than just lob threats.

I still think the talent is there to make noise late in the season. We are just so damn young outside of 3 dudes that this season was always destined to be up and down. By the end of the season you could see 4 freshman getting major rotation minutes, which is probably the youngest team in the Self era except for Wiggins year? Maybe Bill's 3rd season here?

@BShark said in KU/Tennessee Game Thread:

I think basically everything this year has gone as expected with the notable exception being Zach. If he was decent, we would be very good. I'm torn on if he can get there or not and it's frustrating because last year he showed that he was better than this.

I really just don't think he is athletic enough to man the position. Just the way it is.

Scary thought I had today, would Hunter Mickelson start for this team?

More than anything recruiting our own guys back is priority #1 for this off-season. Keep this team in tact. Staff and players.

Then we need to find some upgrades again. I feel like the D is a couple of starters away from being good enough.

I’d like to see us add another WR with the ability to take one to the house on simple screens. I feel like that is lacking. This O could use some track speed added to it.

I’m excited to see what another off-season can be for this group. LL being her long term should really be a benefit in the recruiting trail.

You can’t punt there imo. Have to go for it

@Crimsonorblue22 the O dominated this game and our D actually did enough to win. Special teams cost us 14+ points today

just leave the special teams coordinator in Manhattan

I had hoped to see fundamental mistakes decrease as the season went on 🙃

We are that stupid punt return muff away from being up

Our O is smacking one of the best defenses in the country.

Just a couple of stops is all we need

Just not talented enough to make mistakes. Our defense has to improve over the off-season

Why do we throw bubbles to Grimm?

We really just haven’t been able to get out of our own way the last 2 weeks

BOBBY WE LOVE YOU. We didn’t deserve that win at all but love it

Zach needs to see one fall

Jalen pacing to be NPOY the way he’s playing

We just don’t have anyone who can score in the lane besides Jalen. Have to get Udeh up to speed.

The rotation today had been nice

KJ is just such a nuisance lol. Plays so hard.

UK looks like an entirely different team this year. Just not good

@stoptheflop still huge progress way ahead of schedule.

Still need to find some dudes on both sides over the off-season. Specifically they need to Improve the front 7 on D and WR on O (imo).

Hangover from Tuesday with our mind already on the Bahamas and no Bill on the bench. Today wasn’t a surprise.

I’m guessing KU is smart enough to not risk JD the rest of the season except for maybe the bowl game.

Seriously the hardest of passes. Adding a basketball only school from the west coast is DUMB.

@nwhawkfan said in Deuces, Kauffman:

Heard that the favored sites are mostly in the downtown/Crossroads area.

Curious about what the capacity would be. Some of the newer ballparks are actually smaller than their predecessors. In Seattle they built a downtown stadium not unlike Camden Yards with a retractable roof (something that was in the original design for the K and Arrowhead) and a wraparound view of the mountains and Puget Sound from the concourse. Over 10,000 fewer seats than the old Kingdome. Creates demand for the more limited number of tickets; hence, an excuse to raise the prices.

I would expect a smaller venue for sure.

I thought this UT team was legit from the get. This is a statement.

This UT roster looks legit

@BShark said in Other games:

@kuballin10 I forgot Calipari just can't freaking coach. UK has a lot of dudes and I like their roster.

Cough cough Sahvir Tharpe

Is it not insane to see Bill Self who so many (myself included) assumed would be too stubborn to adopt a modern game go to a FF and win a Natty playing modern basketball?

Now we are starting a 6’6 C and running and gunning like we are an NBA team. Bill adopting this style of play and just recruiting athletes has made Bill the most dangerous coach in CBB.

Imagine how good we could be if MJ buys in…

So, um, are we like really good?

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

Gradey should maybe shoot more or get the ball more

Dick is hot

Or Big Mac.

Come on. Big Dick time right here

What does Jalen have to do there to get a foul called?

This is where Bill would slow the game down and get his best guys set looks

If you told me we’d block 11 shots this game I would have had you checked into a mental health facility

Filipowski got a real punchable face

I hate to sound so cynical, but Jalen isn’t good enough to shoot this much

This is where Bill would call a set play to get us a lob and get us going

We had good enough looks to be up by 15

@Kcmatt7 said in Dook Game Thread:

Sorry but if Zuby can’t get time against Omaha he shouldn’t see it against Duke

I forget Zach is out. Nvm
