Mizzou is just very ungood. Easy looks all around
HIT A THREE. Go in up 20
Harris was just hustling guys until this week. Must have put money in the game 😂
@BShark he is so athletic it is impressive… blocking like 4 shots a game right now I think lol
CB playing like he wants #2 in those rafters
THERE WE GO
Well they tried lol
Intensity from our guys has really died down. We need a dunk or something
Grady Dick looks like a carbon copy of Braun too. We are going got get this show at least 4 more years.
Yesufu not going to get in here the first half. Even with no Bobby.
@BShark he also plays out of control. Just doesn’t see the floor well
Harris doing that the rest of the year is an absolute game changer
I don’t even think he got the KU bump into the top 100 did he?
OU looking like they’re going to get a big win. Moser is going to be a menace
The best games being on at 9PM all season so far has been just a real bummer
I really am genuinely curious why people have a hatred towards MU that makes them not even want to play. Can’t wrap my head around it.
So if they didn’t leave the B12 you would still feel this way? Or is it because their administration was proactive and didn’t want to be held hostage by OU/UT, and were ultimately proven to be right/smart to go to the SEC?
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Border War Game Thread:
I'm not that excited. I'd prefer to have no association with Missouri. Hopefully we win by 50 today.
Because they left the B12 or what?
I still don’t understand why people don’t want to play our biggest rivals.
@drgnslayr said in Non-KU Games:
How many times now has Pearl been spanked? Surely that has something to do with it.
Dude has proven it is worth cheating. Like a baseball player and using steroids, the punishment is just not enough to deter cheating.
I’m so amped. Wish it never went away.
@Crimsonorblue22 just Grady. Mark Mitchell we were recruiting I believe.
Badgers getting smacked rn
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games:
Auburn gets 4 years probation and Bruce Pearl is suspended 2 games
Would be thrilled with this outcome
Recruiting is right where it needs to be. We are getting several high-end multi-year guys every year from here on. We have to improve our unofficial NIL program, but I’m happy with not having to find hidden gems.
Bill is going to get another Natty before he goes if he can keep recruiting like he did the 2022 class.
@BShark just rest him. A non-conference game where we are favored by 25 is not the time to play through injuries
@BeddieKU23 I'm not worried about him being good or not. I'm just saying that unless he jumps someone (mainly Bobby) he isn't going to ever get the opportunity to prove himself here. So I don't know why he would stay.
@BShark If Rice comes and Braun stays you really only have 30 minutes from the bench. Bobby & Grady are going to eat up a good chunk of those minutes.
@BShark Dude barely even saw 10 minutes against UTEP when we were up by 20+ basically the entire game AND Pettiford was out. Just not sure how he ever really gets into the rotation for 20+ minutes. If he doesn't get more run by the end of the year I don't know why he would stay when he could probably get 25+ minutes at two dozen P5 schools...
They helped Grimes get a waiver, I'm sure they would do the same for another guy.
I just don't see Yesufu really cracking the rotation for big minutes next year either. This is his 3rd season in D1 CBB and he's getting beat for minutes by Pettiford. Harris has more eligibility left than Yesufu too. There is no way for Yesufu to start at KU the way it looks today.
Why would he stay?
2022 Too Early Lineup?
- PG: Juan/ Pettiford
- SG: Braun / Yesufu
- SF: Rice / Dick
- PF: Wilson? KJ?
- C: Clemence? KJ? Udeh?
Really think it'll be interesting to see how the post shakes out. Definitely will have the bodies in 2022. Udeh and Zuby will look lost at times, but they both bring a physical presence. KJ is probably the best athlete out of the bunch. Clemence has the BBIQ and skill none of the other 3 will have.
Gut feeling tells me we see Cam, Yesufu and Cuffe in different uniforms next season.
So I feel good about being 2 deep at PG. But they should probably look for a 3rd ballhandler. If Braun does play his way into the draft (looking more likely by the day) then I think you'll see maybe a late signing or a high-end transfer add.
I am betting on Wilson being back. We will have the scholarships available and quite frankly unless he just goes on an absolute tear he should come back.
@mayjay If we don't have that what is the point of even having the board??? Jumping to conclusions against D2 competition and a 30 minute scrimmage where no plays are ran is one of the pillars this board was built upon.
@rockchalkwyo I definitely underestimated him as well... Assumed he would just be the same guy as year ago. He is most certainly not.
Starters got worn out during a long stretch with no dead balls in the first. And then momentum was lost.
I thought a game with normal stoppages would have done us a favor. Looked like our guys got tired and out of rhythm. Being up 27, they probably lost some motivation too.
Hate that they had this game at Sprint Center. Hard to believe they can’t find a better program to play that game. Stands were maybe a little more than half full.
You can see why Bill is pounding the table about being better defensively. This group scores pretty effortlessly (thus far). Even despite starting Jaun, Dave having his moments, and Jalen being slow to start. Certainly the improvements from Braun and Ochai are obvious. But the lack of dropoff from subs also helps. Really felt that preseason this team should be a top 2 or 3 in the country. Right now they look solidly top 10, but maybe not a 1 seed caliber team quite yet.
I swear if they would just come out of the half with a little bit of a killer instinct they could put games away by the 25 minute mark. The last 4 games they basically let teams back into the game and then had to crank it up halfway through the 2nd half to win.
I do think Bill needs to let Remy cook a little bit more. But I can appreciate that Bill is trying to get him to take what is in the flow vs. creating something. Still, I think he is probably one of the best players in the country at taking his guy 1v1 with the shot clock/game clock under 10 and getting a bucket. Silly not to use that to our advantage like we did when we had DG, Frank and Sherron.
Still like what this team can do. And if we can get hot enough we could win the whole thing from a 3 or 4 seed with the talent that is here.

Good good win
One of these games they’ll come out after half and bury a team. But this was nice
This entire production was poor. Reds and announcers
@Crimsonorblue22 said in St Johns Game Thread:
BD was 80% last year
Yea free throws this season have been tough
Lmao at least it’s both ways I guess…
This ref crew. Woof
Phantom foul

@Kcmatt7 said in St Johns Game Thread:
What in gods green earth is this lineup?
Pain and suffering but we gotta get guys rested for the stretch run.
Literally have Yesufu, Bobby and JCL but this is what is on the floor lmao
@Marco said in St Johns Game Thread:
Airball
Literally the easiest 3 point spot in basketball, wide open, he missed it all.
What in gods green earth is this lineup?
Ochai is NPOY
The ability to take a double digit lead into half and blow it is unmatched by any other Bill Self team
Ticky tack fouls tonight
The worst team in basketball from minute 20-25 and it is absolutely killing us
@DanR said in St Johns Game Thread:
Dave in a nutshell, right there in 5 seconds
High effort. Low results.
Hard to not like him as a person, but damn we should have had 2 more points right there
Bill has called a timeout in the first two minutes of the 2nd half three games in a row now?
Come on. The first five minutes of half 2 has been our worst all year
