🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Wiseman is announcing tomorrow on ESPN. Of course he’s going to Memphis but still newsworthy.

@mayjay i was at the game. It was amazing! Way more fun than the game following it.

2.775M annual salary. Very surprised by that. That’s a great deal for KU. Makes me think the assistant pool will be greatly increased.

I watched a little bit of it. I love me some Mike Leach.

@kjayhawks Pooka only got 20 touches for the same reason you mentioned we lost to those 3 teams. Sims is another guy that has been greatly under utilized all year. However, we your QB can’t throw the ball that doesn’t help.

Bender makes Alex Smith look like Patrick Mahomes. He’s hard to watch.

Pooka better have a voicemail from Les waiting for him after the game.

I’m going to be very sad if Pooka transfers out after this year. He’s so fun to watch.

I can not wait until they get a legit QB. It’s beem too damn long.

@BShark two guys took awful angles there. Should have been a easy stop and a field goal.

That’s terrible defense on that 3rd down

Just think if KU would have had a time-out or two for that drive.

Davidson and the Shockers ties with 2 minutes to go.

There are a couple good games tonight as well.

UCONN / Syracuse

Ohio St. / Creighton

Wichita St. / Davidson

Oregon / Iowa

I wonder how much longer Danny is going to survive at Wake. They are currently getting drilled by St. Joes.

@BeddieKU23 I totally understand that point of view, but Self is the HC and is the program. That is just the way it is.

My point is that it is not like KU just threw him out on the streets. He is still on scholarship, getting world class training, and living a better life then most.

I mean nothing is stopping him from going to Europe and playing and making some money right now. So yes it sucks for the kid not to be able to play, but the "poor Silvio" is a little off base IMO.

Couple more picks for Oregon. He is announcing tomorrow.

I saw where Les gets his buyout payments from LSU on the 30th of every month. Could he be wanting to milk one more payment out of them before signing with KU?

Grimes was fine. IMO he is not aggressive enough on the offensive side of the ball. However, to have 10 assists with zero turnovers is great. He also made some timely jumpers as well. I am not worried about him at all. I think Self will say on him to assert himself more and more into the flow of the offense.

Dotson plays great defense and I don't think he is going to score like he did against Sparty on a regular basis which is fine. This team shouldn't need it. If he can take care of the ball, play his good D, and run the team he will be just fine.

Not sure what to make of Dedric in this game. I haven't seen any post game quotes, but it looked to me like he was out of sorts from the jump. Not sure if he was sick or if it was just one of those games. I am not worried about him though.

As I said in the game thread and so did many others the slow start to the game to me was on Self. He clearly made it a point to feed Doke in the post on offense and Doke more times than not is going to try and score. In doing so nobody else can get into any sort of rhythm. I understand that Doke against teams like Vermont is going to have a huge advantage, but they still need to run some other sets and try to get other guys going early...

Also Vermont is going to win 23+ games this year and win their conference I would guess.

Dedric just needs to shot fake and live at the line.

Yes. So much this. He just seemed out of sorts to start the game. Didn’t have a lot of energy and looked lethargic to me.

Grimes now with 10 assists

Have a night LeGerald. Have a night!

I love watching this version of Vick. Making shots, free flowing, and all with that big smile on his face.

Sloppy start here to the second half

I’d leave Vick in

Dedric needs to assert himself

Self needs to relax with forcing it too much to Doke. There is no rythym on offense.

I personally think polls are pretty pointless until about December. Let everyone play 4-6 games and then rank the teams.

@JayHawkFanToo Not really. They are going to hire Brohm from Purdue.

Graham had 38 points tonight in the G League

The game is at 4:00. @jayballer73 @Crimsonorblue22

Dennis Dodd just refutes that and said KU is not interested in him.

Any more questions ?

Going to need to throw past the sticks

@Texas-Hawk-10 are you related to Bender? Serious question.

Damn. Had him bottled up too.

Loneker has played his ass off!

I do not have the words to describe that series. Can the D get one more stop?

Imploding

Unbelievable

Good grief

There is no reason to snap the ball with more than 1 second left on the clock or throw it on this drive.

@kjayhawks Because Beaty. It is absolutely incredible how he hasn’t changed , evolved, or learned anything in 4 years of coaching.

Run the damn ball.

Heavy does of Herbert here and run the play clock down every time.

Of course not. Bender snaps it with 14 seconds left and throws a deep pass.

What a stand

@BShark Sean coaches the special teams though! They have been awful all year.

There’s those receivers that can’t catch

Lol. KSU special teams are atrocious. Bill is done .
