We just don’t need to have guys play through their mistakes with this depth.
The danger is that Self will see the struggles as a sign he needs to shorten the rotation a la a couple
Other seasons. He doesn’t, he just needs to foster a culture where you play if you are playing well.
Looking forward to Gonzaga crushing entitled hopes and dreams.
I love Harris. Happy he starts, doesn’t need to finish, let the PT fall as it may
@wissox Yes, Bobby, JCL, KJ and Zach take us home
@wissox taunting. Pointed at the guy
Lol Braun
@BShark scoring, sure.
Yes is one starter injury away from going off
If Self gave 10 guys run habitually it wouldn’t feel like backsliding when he diminishes Dave’s minutes
If we rolled legit 10 deep every year I think Self would figure it out. Let’s never have just one perceived 5 again
Sweet
Self is looking down the bench
Can we see Zach
Good strength by Remy
Can Dick Vitale just shut up and go away? Not interested in his observations about anything, basketball or otherwise.
Just because we go 10 deep does not mean line changes
Come on Mitch! Grown ass man picking on that kid. (My wife’s line)
I don’t know about that goaltend
There are easy buckets to be had, and Mitch is finding them.
Pretty stoked we get to watch another game tomorrow.
Bill Self :hundred_points: class in his postgame interview. Thankful he’s our guy.
:turkey: :poultry_leg: :pie:
8 points in about 30 seconds. Who knew teahan and jank would have to check in to save us
@DanR you are not alone
Mich St looking like a good win
@BShark :hundred_points:
Come on guys protect the rock!
Sloppy. Sloppy passes, missing defense .
Wooo shot clock love it!
@RockChalkinTexas was he talking to Zach or the ref?
Do we have the best bench in the country? Feels like it
Short leash on Dave after missed bunny hmm
Erghh Dave
Hell yeah! Nice Joseph + Dave!
@BShark feels like last season. Hopefully he figures out how to be helpful. Self should know he has scoring options and doesn’t have to have Dave on the floor this year if the team isn’t producing
@RockChalkinTexas yep. Amazing it goes in so much
Good to see Bobby well enough to play
Perry is smooth
From that Self interview he mentioned Zach being a 5 instead of a 4 based on team need, and Wilson being able to play 1-5. That makes me think KJ is spot minutes for the foreseeable future, to @Texas-Hawk-10 s point.
Let me gloat a minute. I told you guys Mitch would be the primary backup at 5. Zach might take it by years end. But not yet.
He ain’t Mitch Leadfoot!
Sounds like Bill is moving Harris to the bench with Jalen back.
Time to call Joey Buttafuoco
@wissox well they bought the rights to Big 12 when they bought Big 12 network in 2014, but that gets complicated with Longhorn Network I guess? 4 of the top 10 media markets have ACC teams in them. 2 have B12 teams, but one of those is Dallas. Certainly it seems less complicated and more profitable to target ACC fans over fans of the Big 12.
@mayjay you’re looking at this like a legal case.
I believe ESPN has motive to smear KU and promote Duke. I believe that their target audience in this piece is prospective recruits and their families. I believe that audience is well aware of what university the athletes cited as cautionary tales attended. I believe that these athletes are also used as cautionary tales by coaches recruiting said prospective recruits, and that stories like this on ESPN lend those coaches credibility. I believe that 2 of the 4 athletes mentioned negatively being from KU is no accident, which is why I believe the discussion with @Texas-Hawk-10 is worth having.
As for why I believe ESPN has motive: I believe controversy sells, and what started as a disproportionate number of staff members focused on Duke grew into their formula as they realized it’s potential, and Vitale and company were asked to be even more pro Duke.
Unlike a legal court, in the court of public opinion I don’t have to prove I’m right to have my opinion be admissible. There is no defense or prosecution, and there most certainly is no innocence.
@Texas-Hawk-10 yep. That’s right. That’s not hypocritical. I see it like contracting someone to build you a house then telling him when he’s halfway done that you’re firing him and that the house he built you is trash.
They were clearly not ready. Everyone knew that.
I’m still curious if you think they would have gotten to the next level under Self with more time. That to me seems to be the paramount question.
@mayjay people who know basketball know what programs these kids are part of.
How many 4 year players has Self had that didn’t maximize their potential?
