Nah. Done

Decide to buckle down... Like now. Jesus

We play better not in KC in the dance anyway

Clearly we'll need to play like we actually wanna be there when we play the Northern Colorado girls school of typewriter maintenance in the first round of the Dance. Please do NOT give this team the number 1 overall

Gotta be bout the worst performance from a defense and rebounding standpoint that I've ever seen. And that's purely about "want to". Fuckin irritating

@BShark it's all you! Lol

Ya we get down 6 and I think... This is where we miss Bill the most

Okay. Wissox... No more starting the thread

These days I think if you put 2 and 2 together to make 4, it's racist or prejudice against 4 1's or the 3 and the 1 that could do it equally.

Jim Boeheim's Corpse Retires • Mar 10, 2023 12:08 PM

@benshawks08 or is it racist against hate? 😜

UT starting to make this one look a lil ugly

Other games • Mar 09, 2023 11:00 PM

@kjayhawks idk. but I like it

Tourney news • Mar 09, 2023 03:11 PM

Good luck to Coach Roberts today. May be a tall task to get the guys to play loose. But let's hope

Illness. Or heart attack?

Obviously one changes things more than the other for the team moving forward.

Either way of course, well wishes to Coach Self for a speedy recovery

Jim Boeheim's Corpse Retires • Mar 09, 2023 01:55 PM

@drgnslayr the video of him explaining this is hilarious

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 09, 2023 11:01 AM

Article on ESPN

Hocutt determined that Adams' comment was unintentional and an isolated incident following his inquiry.

Speculation of course on my part. But I suggest we probably never hear about this alleged incident if TTU is top half of the conference and looking at a decent NCAA seed.

Overall it seems clear that Adams lost this group and I can imagine it's not difficult to do.

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 09, 2023 03:31 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 will be interesting to see how TCU handles that situation. Obviously they are in a much better position than was TTU.

Tourney news • Mar 09, 2023 03:30 AM

Not saying they need a new one... But I'm pretty confident there's been enough bricks in this OSU/OU game to build a new arena

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 09, 2023 02:55 AM

Would like to have seen more evidence of their internal investigation. Allegations should never be enough. It seems as though TTU was just kinda done with Adams. Sounds like he could kinda tell that and walked away from a deteriorating situation

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 09, 2023 02:10 AM

Wow. Don't be surprised if Jamie Dixon is next Big12 coach suspended. Eddie Lampkin alleging abuse and racial remarks from Dixon

Really diggin this Big 12 tourney floor

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 08, 2023 11:45 PM

That guy just looks like he must have had some connection to the Branch Davidians. I'm a no vote. 🤣

Chris Beard Arrested • Mar 08, 2023 09:57 PM

@dylans luckily atm it's only a rumor. No real report of that.

Can you imagine how foolish that athletic department would look right now with that? Lol

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 08, 2023 09:53 PM

@Jethro that would be wonderful!

Chris Beard Arrested • Mar 08, 2023 09:40 PM

Leading candidate for Ole Miss job. Gotta wonder how they don't already know he's leaving about as soon as a better job comes along and it won't take much honestly

Big12 strength • Mar 08, 2023 02:05 AM

Report saying Big12 has reached out to Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. Would be a power move for certain imo

Chris Beard Arrested • Mar 08, 2023 01:12 AM

Talking to Ole Miss about their HC job according to reports

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 07, 2023 11:33 PM

I see the point above too.. having a KU alum is terrific if it's a slam dunk hire and you get a CS or someone that can become that in a lil time. Because we have this tradition of not having a revolving door on the program coaching wise(which I love). But if it doesn't work, you don't wanna be stuck with them for years too long over not wanting to fire an alumni

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 07, 2023 11:30 PM

@BShark ya I hadn't really thought of it like that. Good point

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 07, 2023 11:28 PM

Nobody thinks it would be a good idea to have a guy like Case taking first hand tutelage from CS be kind of a coach in waiting?

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 07, 2023 12:32 AM

@Kcmatt7 you put alot into that. Idk If I know too many of them. But Nice work. I don't think atm I'm interested in Otz or Hoiberg.

Trying to be overly optimistic that Self hangs out way longer than he has said he wants to coach

Who would ever replace Self? • Mar 06, 2023 02:14 AM

Lol

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 06, 2023 01:11 AM

A link that makes the wording a lil more acceptable possibly. Idk yet. Still not sure what this "spitting" incident involved either

4 day break. Let's discuss. I'm hoping it's 15 years before it happens.

Is Jeremy Case a candidate? If not. Who is?

Other games • Mar 06, 2023 12:10 AM

I think we'd all be happy with just consistency throughout a game. It's certainly a human element. But the game is not about you. Don't put your handprint on it by altering the way or when or when on the clock you whistle. Right?

Other games • Mar 05, 2023 11:45 PM

@bskeet lol. Clark Kellogg said after that. "ya he did push off, but it was a good push off. I like the no call in that situation"

How does that work? Haha

Other games • Mar 05, 2023 11:15 PM

Ended up being worth the watch. Wolverines let it slip away and may have put the nail the proverbial coffin as their tourney hopes are concerned

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 10:54 PM

@mayjay ya I'm surprised he hasn't at the very least came out with a formal statement saying that wasnt the intention or apologizing for the insensitivity on the optics of it or something.

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 10:12 PM

@BShark players not coming out in his defense yet is really bad

The university is certainly correct to suspend and investigate

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 09:52 PM

@mayjay oh absolutely if he means it in that way, as I said before. That's really F'd up and he should probably not coach again.

Hard for me as a former coach(certainly not at that level) to believe a coach would purposely want to insult their players especially in a racial way. Most ppl I've known that coach, you fall in love with the kids. Love watching how they grow, etc. But there is evil allover the world and it comes in all shapes. So it is possible this is the situation here.

I'm just not gonna decide without more information that this is definitively the case because Adams is white. If others choose to do that, then that is their right as well.

Other tidbit I would add is this. Lay the rest of it aside. When you think someone doesn't want to listen to you? More words aren't generally going to convince them. Lol

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 09:22 PM

I liked HEM. Very objective and intelligent fella. Sorry to see he isn't here anymore. Or hasn't been looks like

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 09:02 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 well I think it's all just people's reasoning to be offended and call others ignorant.

So we can agree to disagree and I don't even have to call you any names over it. Ya see, it's a great thing we used to have a right to do in this nation. Disagree without the other person having to be anything other than "in disagreement".

I'm never gonna think in any circumstances that's okay for people to think this or that cant be said because someone is white, or black, or yellow, or green, or blue. In the same manner that I'm never gonna think it's okay to assume a person of any color is a thug, or criminal, or what have you due to being whatever color that is. That entire idea does not 1 thing to promote the unity people of all cultures and colors have worked so hard for. It only creates more division. Done with you sir. Good day

Anyone else watching UM at IU?

Michigan a wierd situation. I think the most talented B1G team. But they don't play like it often enough. Currently "last 4 in"

Big12 strength • Mar 05, 2023 08:25 PM

Definitely a lot of folks saying we're the clear cut number 1 overall based on the 15 quad 1 wins

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 07:57 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 that's actually a very good point. I mean idk how devout the guy is or isn't. Does he frequently use scripture in his coaching? Or hardly at all, or never... And actually just went and found this set of verses to use? If so, of course that is F'd up.

Otherwise? Meh... Are we discussing this if Tang said these verses to his team?

It being singled out to one kid kind of bugs me if that was the case, which is how I'm taking it. Idk. Just don't wanna jump straight to the conclusion it was wrong not knowing the answers to these questions

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 07:26 PM

I mean basically by that logic(considering at the moment we don't know the context) every preacher on the south who has ever read those verses with a person of color in the worship hall is guilty of racism and ignorance and should be fired. I mean let's go a step further, shall we? How about if any people there are of Irish decent? Or Arab? Anything other than black considering they weren't the only people to ever be slaves?

Aunt Jemima never hurt a damn soul until someone went looking for a reason. Personally idgaf. I prefer Mrs Butterworth anyway.

The point is. It takes nothing in this time period. No matter the person, the place, the color, the name If you go looking for a reason you'll always find it.

But if you go looking for reason, you seldom will.

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 06:13 PM

I've kinda wondered if his days there were numbered about half way thru the conference season.

Mark Adams Resigns • Mar 05, 2023 05:56 PM

The spitting thing is ridiculous. And who knows what all else. And who knows how he really said that to the kid or kids. There's definitely ways it could have been said that should end with his firing.

I do kind of hate that all this comes out on the heals of a "less than stellar" season for them and maybe they need the excuse? Idk. Sometimes those things just appear that way
