Tortillas won? No, that can't be right. The team that beat Duke can't lose. They beat DUKE.
SMH at the ESPN talking heads, the day after Duke lost they were damn near crying on the radio. One compared it to getting your Christmas presents a week early and then watching everyone else open theirs on Christmas Day. Then declared MSU the overwhelming favorite to win it all. Apparently Duke/Zion is all that matters in college basketball.
Dylans laid new flooring in his flooded office yesterday and feels like an old man today.
@tundrahok no. Never bought into that line of thought, but I never considered the reason for the streak to end would be cheating to reach a final four.
@BShark I kinda understand why. If you’re a casual fan you need a relevant team every season. Duke, UNC, UK, and KU are the only teams that fit that billing currently. Three are far enough east, 2 are in the media darling acc. Pick you team, OADs are the rage Duke wins there.
Casual fans won’t wait on a team thru the down years.
His dad roots for Duke. 🤢
I hear a rumor that Rayjon Tucker was visited by KU last night.
I’m confused.
Why beat a dead horse in front of the choir you’ve been preaching to for years while claiming to turn over a new leaf?
:)
Josh was better.
Boy, KUSports.com is really slipping. Still no news on K.J. over there.
@Crimsonorblue22 I did!
@Kubie No you don’t have to have T-Mobile. It is just an annual give away they do.
@Kubie T-Mobile gave away mlb season passes a couple weeks ago. Maybe you can find one floating around for cheap. I saw one on cheapassgamer.com in the uv sell thread for $25 fwiw.
@BeddieKU23 Unless I’ve missed something the only roster movement I know of is -Charlie -Vick +McBride +Braun. So back to 12 scholarship players (of 13) currently. 2-5 more guys will likely leave though.
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t recall. Mondesi is the 4th fastest Royal this season. I wonder if it’ll translate to any extra wins? They’re just fast for now. Not super skilled.
If the NCAA will allow the undrafted HS kids to maintain their eligibility it may not be so bad. Especially with Bill being good at pulling kids late.
Well. I understand the reasoning. But with hindsight being 20-20 it’s clearly a bad one.
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah, in the 10th.
@Kcmatt7 Dixon to UCLA?
@Crimsonorblue22 😂 his degree would pay better. Maybe he’ll get some of that Euro ball money.
@Crimsonorblue22 See Mondesi’s inside the park homer?
Cal gets over $9 million per year, Self gets around $5million per. Self has 3 years left on his deal...a big payday should be coming soon.
@approxinfinity Explain to me again why Malik isn’t with the program this season???
“I just want to make sure we’re back to where we belong, at the top of the basketball world,” the 56-year-old Self told the Journal-World. “That doesn’t guarantee winning, but it sure guarantees you being in the game. This is the first year in 12 years or whatever that we haven’t been in the game to go to the Final Four or win a national championship.
“This year, we just didn’t put ourselves in position to be in the game and when I say the game, I’m talking about with a serious chance to cut down nets. (Missing out on that) hasn’t happened very often here, and I’m motivated to make sure that we’re back to where we should be, with that opportunity or possibility every March.”
@BShark ...so he wins at an ungodly rate without a Bill Snyder schedule? Noice!
@FarmerJayhawk lol not realistic, but it might be a way for the ncaa stick it to the nba after the oad fiasco. I mean the oad rule is the NBA’s rule and the NCAA’s mess.
My twisted take - No need to kick talented kids out if all they did was get a job offer they declined.

And the big one, players can return to school if they're not drafted and maintain eligibility.
Really? What’s to keep everyone from declaring just to see what will happen? Can you only declare twice?
If you’re drafted and don’t like the team can you go back to school? (I don’t think this is currently possible, but will it be?)
Marsha is right where he needs to be. Big fish in a little pond and very well paid. I doubt WSU could do better. I guess UCLA needs a coach though.
Not Invited Tournament. You know ‘cause everyone gets a ribbon.
I only watched ISU play against KU, but he really didn’t make an impression. One of only 2 big12 players projected in the draft (depending on where you look); Culver the obvious best talent in the Big12 is the other. Dedrick is on the outside looking in just ahead of Dotson and Larry Bird Jr.
What do I know? I thought Devin Booker was a turd.
Adidas is spending its money wrong. They need to buy tournament selection members, so KU can have an easy path like others seems to get. 😝
@BShark umm who? Outside of Culver and Wiggington it didn’t seem like there was much NBA talent in the big12 this season.
@BShark grad transfer?
That rumor made Calipari a ton of money. are you Self’s agent @FarmerJayhawk ?
4 top ten recruits in one class and no final four...choke job deluxe. Nike wants their money back 😂
Estimated odds to return:
1. Lightfoot 99%
2. Garrett 99%
3. Agbaji 99%
4. McCormack 99%
5. Dotson 80%
6. Grimes 65%
7. KJ Lawson 50%
8. Azubuike 40%
9. De Sousa 33%
10. D. Lawson 15%
@kjayhawks IDC what anyone else thinks, I loved going thru Dok.
OK final edit. Last Champions Classic team standing is the supposed weakest one pre-season. The team KU was supposedly lucky to draw to get an “easy” marquee win. The only Final Four rep of the group, Sparty

Zion fouls the hell outta everyone on the offensive glass.
He’s not fouling, he’s big boned. Lol
@kjayhawks You are correct. I got ahead of myself. Final 6 lol

Texas Hawk 10 said:
@jayhawkcsg Ripping a 21 year old because he didn't play up to expectations after he's announced his intention to move on just comes across as low class and petty.
Especially when he’s going home because he has a sick parent. Sometimes fans are the absolute worst.
Umm shades of Vick here? White lies to help the kid out the door? Didn’t Charlie transfer to KU to be closer to family?
It didn’t work out, now he’s leaving. Charlie at best was a bad fit, hopefully he can find a more appropriate program for his talent. Nothing to see here.
@Kcmatt7 I don’t want Bruce Pearl.
Final Four preview if you swap Auburn and KU out. Uggh, gut shot.
Texas Techs second ever elite eight. Way to prove last season wasn’t a fluke! Beard is a stud!!! I hope he pushes Self to new heights.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Gooden’s fresh legs would’ve won that title. Oh well, miss 18? free throws and you should lose. That one stings still, but quiet as much as the one regular season, triple overtime loss, team of ‘97.
@nuleafjhawk I’m a Royals fan only 162 games this year, I think it’s doable. That + though...
