J Will was mad man tonight. That could be exactly what we needed

Great game and the kids did great too. It's a fun season. Enjoy it

That was a big boy game. The cats have been and are real. Remember this always. You never never what events are going to transpire to get you where you're meant to go. We're gonna be tempered in steal

Guys. We're alright. What an awesome college basketball game.

I mean what an absolutely fantastic college basketball game

We're alright

Nice to see bench pts tho

This team within 2 and under 4? I'll bet on them every time

Guys. We're alright

Just keep saying it. We're alright guys

Also. Take the ball straight at Johnson early. 2 fouls

The basketball world can't handle KJ if he continues to improve at the rate he is right now. He will be insane

They are still so fun to watch. And I just don't believe they are ever out of it. I'll take our fight over theirs for a second half.

Wilson has 12 fairly quietly. I don't think anyone is out playing him. Except perhaps KJ

I won't believe this team is done til the buzzer sounds. That's so fun to watch

We're alright. They are just hitting everything.

Defensive breakdown. Ouch. We're okay tho

I feel like it would be a huge mistake for any team to key on KJ right now. And I'm actually hoping they try it so we can see what that looks like. It may rain 3's for days....

@approxinfinity I've said this. They are stupidly fun to watch play. And not fun to watch play stupidly. Lol.

It is a very enjoyable group. They look like they are enjoying it a lot of the time imo also. That can't hurt.

I love the "book-ended '22 banners". Took a picture of it at Saturday's game. I'm too dumb to figure out how to load it here....

Be even cooler if we had 2 sets of '22, '23 banners huh? Haha

Man these B1G games are hard to watch. Buffalo ball most of the game and then foul for breathing the last 5 minutes. I'm glad we aren't in that league

Self just wasn't gonna show the whole shabang to Moser. Told the boys to just go out and win one.

Self- "we're gonna have a team building exercise tonite, you guys just go run whatever the fuck ya want and see what happens". Now-"you'll run it how I say from here on huh". Lol

Sometimes ya just chalk them up to the Phog. That boys and and girls is how you play for actually less than 10 full minutes and somehow win

Damn this team is stupidly fun to watch. And it's not fun watching them play stupidly. Lol

Gotta be dumbest ass game plan I've seen since atleast last night....

We're not anything but getting out coached here. Plain and simple. Haven't ran an actual offensive set 1 time tonite.

We're NOT getting layups. We're throwing up junk like Sanford and Son

Not sure what to call our offense tonite. The go down the floor and do whatever the fuck ya want, we aren't gonna actually run anything set or what

I think they hit us pretty hard. And sadly I think most of it is deserved. I do think Self gets a suspension and a show cause and KT is Audi 5000.

Admittedly I don't fully understand what the "show cause" means. What the ramifications of that really add up to.

I believe it's atleast a 1 yr ban, taking down all games Silvio played in including the FF and if I'm not mistaken the last year of the "streak".

The biggest thing is from all I've seen and heard I do believe that Self lied about not engaging in that shit essentially. That probably bugs me most. (Yes I'm aware "everybody's doin it)

I'd say most are correct in the idea that Self and KU will sue. But that will be only a civil matter. To gain some amount of settlement $$ as "the victim". That won't change the outcome of the penalties. The IARP which we agreed to is final and non appealable.

Let's not forget the KU submitted that Adidas was a booster to the NCAA to try to get Silvio reinstated. And... Yes I believe that was a dirty underhanded move by the NCAA to trap us into a situation we can't bargain out of.

I've not posted here for several years....

Without much detail honestly the "SMUT" of CBB has driven me away for a bit. I haven't invested in a team since 18' when i was 6th row in Omaha to watch us beat Duke in OT to go to the FF. Not just our SMUT... the entirety and I still don't think we've seen the ramifications of our own issues which are likely to be worse than most think IMO. That said.... this team... Man. I invested a lil.. Didn't watch every game. But they sort of made me start to love it again. They far surpassed any expectation I had and maybe even taught me to temper those a bit. How amazing what they accomplished. I've been very high on the 12' team for a long long time because I believe they did something amazing and put themselves in position to do something more amazing with just shear HEART. I believe it's a thing... I CAN want it more than you do. I CAN work harder than you do. I believe that CAN and does yield results. I think we've witnessed that here and that is probably the thing I'm most proud of with this group.

Now the humorous side of me couldn't help it. But the first thing I thought was this.... "Uh, oh... Happy learned to putt" Bill Self. I've been both critical and complimentary. Which will continue. I believe in both as positives in the correct light.

Explanation: I think By-in-large Bill has been more great than not with "time to prepare" Ya he has some losses in those cases. But usually you can bank on a first game win. He's always had the long ball so to speak. It's always been the short game(Thurs-Sat, Fri-Sun) that you maybe couldn't count on as well. Absolutely this can be said of any coach or team in the craziness of the tournament. I say it here cause I follow KU and Bill Self, not others. Here is what matters. If this guy just learned to Putt? If somehow we keep this guy that maybe just learned how to Putt? Bright future ladies and gents. Bright Future. What a special season and tournament of course especially. What a gift to us that are merely fans but care so much. I always thought of and called the 12' team "The lil Jayhawk engine that could" Such the short benched and overall lacking in talent squad that kept climbing the hill and nearly crested it against what some say is possibly the best CBB team ever. This group? I love how someone here put it.... "True Grit" They should put it on the banner. Rock Chalk All!

Ah... Bs. This whole thing is a stinking business. Justify it anyway ya want. If ya do that ya have no honor. Simple as that. Let that be a lesson. If ya lie with dogs youll wind up with flees. Paint it in any light ya wanna. There's been dirty dealins going on and ya reap what ya sow. Ass clowns... Smh. Clean house now. Today

I also have some ocean front property in central ks if any are in the buying mood

Lol

@bskeet nah, ya gotta look at the angles and be there in person. What may look like wielding from one angle is just grabbin it to place in a different location from another angle.

Basically the photographers stool was just in the way and needed to be relocated

Soon here will come the token "espn only covers Duke, we gotta get exposure from something"

Looks like it should be a meme... "When ya cant recruit because of impending violations.….."

@kjayhawks being KU, and letting anything anyone from KSU does... Throw you that far off your rocker? Bush league or not? We had nothing to gain and everything to lose. If the roles were reversed and any ksuck player had done the same thing, garauntee you'd be berating that player and calling the situation their fault right now. Tired of this thuggish, it's okay for us but not for them... Two wrongs suddenly make a right, everyone else is doing it bullshit and that's why I've watched a grand total of 2.5 games of NCAA basketball this season thus far.... A guy that used to watch atleast 300 a season (no joke).

@HighEliteMajor remember when we used to talk about how many lil10 titles we'd trade for just one more NC?

It's evolved into how many would we trade to be rid of all the latest embarrassments. But of course, that doesn't fit into this era of unaccountability....

@jayballer73 that would given me a smidgen if respect back for CS.... Who picks up a damn chair? He's gotta be gone. The end

As much as I hate it, at this point I'd be about ready to let them take self in exchange as well

@HighEliteMajor more and more thinking both men's days are numbered at Kansas

I mean it cost the university alot obviously. But was included in the cable package... So. Winning!!!

Fight lasted longer than McGregor vs cowboy and didn't cost us $65. So we got that goin for us

Well. Atleast this will take the focus off the investigation, eminent suspensions, and post season bans however briefly. Just when ya thought the program couldn't be any more embarrassed.. hold my beer

Sure ain't getting much basketball out of him. So hey. Atleast were getting our money's worth out of De Sousa for entertainment value... Starring Silvio in Roadhouse 3... How pathetic

Gotta look on the bright side. Maybe juco kids don't cost as much

@Woodrow ya it might be. But there's still some unanswered questions if that's the case. Like why not play Preston anyway then? Cliff Alexander? Etc

Sources? I'm with @HighEliteMajor on this one too. It's miraculous that these "sources" are so quiet. Especially in this era where everyone wants something for nothing... Scorned girlfriend, pissed off sibling, pissed off teammate, pissed off transfer, fired coach, basically any player that washed out of pro ball and wants his 15 min of Fame. All the programs, all of them doing it... And yet so few whistle blowers. It's unfathomable. There's literally been more ppl step forward saying our president grabbed their puss 20 years after the fact than there are legitimate "sources" that everyone is doing this

Well, I firmly believe that KU is bigger than Syracuse, LSU, and DePaul.... There's only so much embarrassment they will take. I could be wrong. We shall see.

I do continue to love the whole everyone is doing it now that we know we're doing it narrative though. Removes some of the stain.....

@wissox without complete and total vindication from the NCAA or the demise of the NCAA I'd find it very hard to believe he won't be gone anyway one way or another honestly
