🏀 KuBuckets Archive

@drgnslayr If I were a GM I’d draft Gradey in the lottery and stash him for development. All he needs to do is train and grow and he can do both while making millions of guaranteed dollars and not waste time on school nonsense- basketball is his profession and he has graduated with honors. Hire a full time trainer and get after it.

Selfishly I hope he tweaks his knee going in for the game winning layup as time expires in the national championship game and has no choice but to go back to KU while he heals up and ends up with 2 rings.

@wissox The bracket looks hard, because of our confidence in the team. It appears to be the #4 bracket with the best 2 seed, but we don’t have to play everyone and as you said upsets happen. Hard to complain too much about being a 1 seed…yet again. Bill is amazing - how many top seeds during his tenure?

@benshawks08 Gradey doesn’t move well without the ball or on defense. He has a lot to learn (and will get paid while learning) but also has an elite shot. I’d like to see more plays designed to get him open. However, as I recall (maybe incorrectly) Bill stated that this team doesn’t do as well with set plays so it’s a bunch of improvisation off the base offense. So set plays for Gradey probably aren’t coming en masse.

Gradey is long and can be disruptive by reaching in and swatting the ball, but he can’t wall up his defender due to poor footwork it seems. He’s got tons of potential, but it will be fulfilled elsewhere. For KU he gives a needed scoring presence and great enthusiasm. My only real complaint is he’s gone too soon!

Ready for the bracket reveal tonight. 5pm central. Bring it! It’s all about matchups.

@BeddieKU23 he aims them in like a kid that can’t handle the weight of the ball. Wish he would square up and shoot with good form, but that isn’t happening this year. We can dream…do you remember what Selden’s shot looked like his freshmen year? Wow what a transformation.

I miss Max Falkenstein. I never listened to the tv announcers when Max was calling the games. He was simply amazing. Everyone else (tv, radio, internet) since Max and then Bob Davis retired has sounded second rate at best in comparison.

@BShark said in McCullar:

We can beat a 16 seed without him, depends on how he is feeling imo.

Shudder. Shades of Stanford in the if he doesn’t play in the tournament. Oh what might have been… Get well Kevin!!!!

Thank you (future conference member?) Arizona. Appreciate you shutting up UCLA for a night.

There is plenty of rest in the NCAA tournament. Really just need the guys playing free of mind. Gradey especially seems lost in his head. Hope they can buckle down on defense and loosen up on offense and go have fun!

Ready for the refocus next week. Selection Sunday will add clarity. Beak ‘em Hawks!

I hit Y and enter on the predictive text. About as coherent and as much effort as the play tonight.

You should try this out on the website of your own site for free if it works well with the new app or not if it works out 💪 I’m a fan but I’m sure you’ll like 👍 I’m sure it I think 💭 it will help with my health but it’s also worth a visit and you will have the same access and knowledge of how I use the website

@benshawks08 Need all 5 starters healthy. This team is super thin. - says captain obvious

@Zabudda Once.

That was fun

Could you imagine if you died tonight? Totally fulfilled after tonight’s effort. Would drift off with a satisfied smile on my face. 😂

Rough night.

Sweet sixteen caliber team. Hope they get good matchups.

They don’t even look upset at being down. Too tired for emotion? Spent too much emotional energy on Self and petered out?

Lol. Nice effort guys

I don’t know. Maybe Norm did a great job to keep the game close for as long as he did? This team doesn’t matchup well with Texas. Gonna need a miracle in bracket matchups to repeat. - hopefully we only get short un-athletic teams.

Hope coach isn't watching this

Probably set his recovery back a few days.

Pull the starters

And put in who?

Jank can shoot us back in this game!

Just let Gradey take the rest of our shots and get him on track in this building.

Lol. You had one job Bobby

Lotta time left. Hope they don’t lose by 25

Well. Next year is rapidly approaching

Crowd is doing great given the score. This is fugly

Oh wow. We can’t guard

@jayballer67 He has lost control.

Juan has lost control

And whose job is it to line him out? It all goes back to the head cheese my man.

he can tell him things the entire gam- - it's up to Juan to execute the plan - - -my man

You’ve convinced me. Fire Bill and save millions every year. Coach if makes no difference.

Only so many strings to pull, but wanna see them pulled

@jayballer67 He has lost control.

Whaaa?

@kjayhawks yup

This is a mildly terrifying reminder of how fast the wheels will fall off without a good coaching hire.

Really miss our HOF coach

Wish Yesufu would square up

Udeh’s length is a plus

Yes has been the second option on offense today, but his defense gives up too many easy buckets. Rice?

Udeh to the rescue?!?

Box out please

@jayballer67 He doesn’t move well without the ball. Would like to see an elevator play for him.

@jayballer67 rest of team 7. This pathetic output will not continue in the second half. Harris needs to look to score. Udeh will actually flush a lob. Order will be restored.

Conference call with Bill at half time?!?! 😂

4 point swing to end the half. Started with missed 2 for 1 opportunity.

Ugg

Missed opportunity for 2 for 1 - coaching

TD!

Wow

My compliments to the board: no dick jokes so far

if you think about it every comment can be twisted into one.
