Burnt Orange Predictions • Feb 25, 2017 02:25 PM

@RockChalkinTexas Is it one you designed? With the 13 making a B? Hope you have a blast today!

I washed my filthy KU hat hoping for a more clean finish. Remove the filth of the past and move forward clean.

Burnt Orange Predictions • Feb 25, 2017 02:20 PM

Bill said no suspension for Josh. I haven't heard, but serisouly doubt any suspension will be handed down for Devonte.

Someone needs to rub out the hard on the the LPD has for KUs players.

Guess we aren't the only one's • Feb 25, 2017 02:16 PM

Because no one cares about Creighton. It's only news because it's Kansas players. These things happen all over, but it's only news because of who it is.

Fb hire • Feb 25, 2017 04:25 AM

Seems like a great hire. I hope he and Hudy put their heads together

Walton and Pasch • Feb 24, 2017 02:10 PM

@nuleafjhawk Last game we had a nearly 20 second delay. Greg Gurleys melodic pipes or Walton's drug fueled ramblings, what a decision. Better than Fran!

Some PC Ways to Say a Coach S-u-c-k-s • Feb 24, 2017 02:04 PM

Yesterday Oklahoma was sucking and Nebraska was blowing. Here I was stuck in the middle with some terrible wind.

AND THIS IS WHY SVI WILL BE BACK • Feb 24, 2017 02:03 PM

Selden finally had a healthy year, his shot fell at a higher rate than he could sustain over a higher volume and he couldn't project better. His misfortune was the old injury bug came back to bite him.

Graham hasn't peaked in college, but is old. The only reason he should feel pressure to leave is due to his age. He can improve his draft stock if KU wins out this year or if he shows out next year. Either way and he's gone. However if KU flames out in the tourney I'd say its 50/50 with the better option to return.

It's much easier for us to say what is the right decision than for him to make a decision he must live his life with.

@HighEliteMajor I've read a few Bill Self sucks threads on here as well...

@nuleafjhawk His passing last night

I misread at first, my initial thought.

Good grief, Josh only tweeked his ankle!

Pretty cool. I thought the Morri were Jrs for some reason, makes more sense why I was surprised when they left.

I hope the lack of national exposure doesn't hurt Frank's POY chances, but the whole game was on ESPN even if the after game hype on ESPN.com is minimal. Or Bills recruiting.

I also hope that KU flys under the radar into the National Championship. I'd rather not play with the biggest bullseye. Leave that to Kentucky, UNC or Duke, we already know KU is better.

Ty Berry • Feb 23, 2017 01:56 PM

@BShark Kansas HS talent is difficult to judge give the low level basketball that is played. Probably true most places, but you can go all four years of HS without playing against a D1 talent in kansas. Makes the kids difficult to grade out.

Rick Pitino S-U-C-K-S • Feb 23, 2017 01:54 PM

you should watch the video aprox. It's funny watching the MU fans finally get behind something. It's just a Cal you suck chant, but at last they were unified.

NEED YOUR HELP BUCKETEERS • Feb 23, 2017 01:45 PM

Death, Taxes, and Big 12 Championships.
The Smart money is on KU!

Espn is neat. • Feb 23, 2017 01:44 PM

At KU there are always 5000 people waiting at the airport.

Espn is neat. • Feb 23, 2017 01:34 PM

Maybe I was watching ESPN 2 but I saw a several minute deal on KU's 13 vs UCLA's 13. A woman I didn't recognize, Andy Katz, and Fran all said what KU did was more impressive. It ran all night and maybe this morning as well (too busy to check) I hope you can catch it.

If it makes you feel any better, I missed the 'Cuse/Duke highlights completely.

NEED YOUR HELP BUCKETEERS • Feb 23, 2017 01:30 PM

Bill Shaka'ed the Smart out of Texas!

The Smart move is to go to KU!

KU vs the Purps • Feb 22, 2017 04:10 PM

@jayballer54 copy and paste the link. If you want to get fancy add a set of [] and () like this: [KU Sports] (www.kusports.com) But remove the space and you get: KU Sports

Click edit on my post to see it if that helps.

Dg. Self said no worry wont miss any games • Feb 22, 2017 04:02 PM

@HawkInMizery Yeah! That was the only Big 12 tournament I've had the pleasure of attending. We went to almost all the games. (I missed one of the early round games of OU) It was awesome to see all the different fans. It's a completely different experience than you get at any one of the college's bb courts. The fan base is 50%KU, 20%KSU, 20%ISU, 5%Oklahoma schools, 3%Texas, 2%the rest (including lost MU fans).

I recommend getting whole session tickets, as opposed to just going to the KU games. It's a lot of good basketball. The crowd is the best for the KU games, but it's fun to watch crowd as well as the game. It's amazing how different fan bases can see a game.

BPI • Feb 22, 2017 02:35 PM

How in the world is KU ranked 10th in the BPI? Within the BPI metrics KU is ranked #1 for Strenght of Record, #1 RPI, #4 Strength of Schedule, and 10th in the BPI. Behind West Virginia #4 and Duke #7.

This is a broken ranking system.

Dg. Self said no worry wont miss any games • Feb 22, 2017 03:59 AM

As I recall KU won Big 12 tourney the years they tied in an unbalance schedule. The only tie (with KSU) during a balanced year KU won the big 12 tourney also.

The Venezuelan Socialist Diet • Feb 21, 2017 02:54 PM

Pondering a new plan of action to lose a few lbs?

Sounds horrible. Why'd you bring it up @KUSTEVE?

Waco Tribune News • Feb 21, 2017 02:53 PM

@elpoyo But you didn't say anything objective, inciteful, or introspective. You only threw out an unqualified jab. In case you haven't noticed the conference title is one of the goals that you try to achieve along the way to a national title. Yes you can win the NC without a conference title, but if you aren't good enough to win your conference, what makes you good enough to win the National title? Last I checked there are over 300 disappointed teams at the end of the year with only one truly happy (NIT doesn't count).

Next recruit up • Feb 21, 2017 02:19 PM

@Blown And the freshman Garrett.

I'd hate to see more KU players leave early for the D-league. Sucks

Woa, Huggie down • Feb 21, 2017 05:01 AM

So did he need to be hit by the defibrillator or did it just go off? It's 15 years old. Here's hoping he gets it figured out and stays upright!

Mason's Baylor Line Must Be Repeated • Feb 21, 2017 03:42 AM

@approxinfinity The qualifications have been relaxed, but I don't know what they are. I hope Frank can qualify.

VOTE: Frank Mason! • Feb 21, 2017 03:35 AM

It works on  products now.

Mason's Baylor Line Must Be Repeated • Feb 20, 2017 02:30 PM

@approxinfinity said:

Frank is my favorite ever. Felt pretty sentimental about Perry last year. Trying not to think about this one. Just hoping he gets to go out in one shining moment.

Also, stoked that he's going to get his jersey in the rafters.

I'm curious how Frank qualifies? Or are you basing this off of Franks destiny to be tournament MOP?

Vick Has Earned The Start • Feb 20, 2017 02:08 PM

Vick seems to want to start. The carrot of a starting spot is being dangled in front of him to get him to play better. Vick seemed to get content after he had started a few games and disappeared. Now he seems to be asserting himself a little more. Not starting seems to being working for Bill to motivate Vick.

Svi looks like he needs more confidence. When he first came back from the Ukraine he was very confident. He needs some of that swagger back; starting helps build him up. Starting helps Svi's confidence making him a better player.

Just my take.

Vick Has Earned The Start • Feb 19, 2017 10:11 PM

@tundrahok where did you get the +/- stats? I'd love to see some things to affirm/dispel some beliefs.

If this isn't a technical... • Feb 19, 2017 06:05 PM

Forcing the ballhandler to his defenders. Dirty.

Time to steamroll him.

So if Bill doesn't... • Feb 19, 2017 04:46 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 I just took a screen shot. I get lazy about clicking on links sometimes

So if Bill doesn't... • Feb 19, 2017 03:24 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 I'll make it easier for us bums.

The Capcha doesn't work on my ipad for some reason. Inconvient at the least. I wonder how many votes errors deter?

COACH SELF TO THE HALL OF FAME • Feb 19, 2017 02:54 PM

Sounds like Calipari goes thru the same junk Bill does.

'Well, we want to win more.' No kidding. We all want to. Live with my shoes. You want to win more? We gotta win by 25 or we got problems. We win by two or in overtime, people are jumping off bridges. -John Calipari

Cole Throwing Shade • Feb 19, 2017 02:28 PM

I like how he tags Quicy Acy and Udoh from Baylor. Expert level trolling.

Angry old man at Baylor game • Feb 19, 2017 02:25 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 I was trying to figure out why Fran didn't suck this game. Then I realized it wasn't Fran. Darn it, I thought he had turned over a new leaf.

Vick Has Earned The Start • Feb 19, 2017 02:22 PM

I wonder what Svi's +/- is? He gives up too many easy drives to the hoop.

COACH SELF TO THE HALL OF FAME • Feb 19, 2017 02:19 PM

I really liked this part. Haters better just skip it...

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Kentucky’s John Calipari have never won more than five straight. North Carolina’s Roy Williams and Michigan State’s Tom Izzo have never won more than four straight. Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim and Louisville’s Rick Pitino have never won more than two straight. And before you try to tell me none of this is too impressive because the Big 12 isn’t all that impressive, please note that the Big 12 is the nation’s top-rated conference, according to KenPom, and that this is the fourth straight season it has been rated first at KenPom.
During this 13-year stretch, the Big 12 has been KenPom’s top-rated league five times, a top-two league eight times and a top-three league 10 times. If that makes the Big 12 weak, as one bro tried to suggest Saturday on Twitter, I would hate to see strong. And yet every season, for what will soon be 13 straight seasons, the Jayhawks finish atop the Big 12 standings -- and usually alone.

Next.

Trae Young • Feb 16, 2017 04:40 PM

I thought his announcement was at 1!?! So why the pessimism? I'm holding on to a sliver of hope until I'm told otherwise.

Winners play for Self. If a player runs from Self, who wants him?

Greatest comeback of all time • Feb 16, 2017 04:29 AM

@kjayhawks Thanks man! Someone's gotta educate Mizzou students/fans. I don't have the patience required to work with special people.

Trae Young • Feb 16, 2017 04:20 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 DG all day long! But I want both

Trae Young • Feb 15, 2017 11:05 PM

@ralster Right, but I can understand not wanting to hurt others as his decision will to some extent. A boon to one program a bust to another. KU will be fine either way, but I'd sure like this kid to lead KU the next couple of years.

I'm just saying you can be considerate off the court and be an alpha on it. We shall see. I hope to see additional high character guys on the roster to balance out some of the recent bad crap.
