Man the ladies in the end run this season - - -under achieved greatly. - -for the returning talent they had on this roster, they UNDER ACHIEVED. - then the real dagger is losing to the sorry shits fuzzou.

They were just soooo inconsistent, something just was clicking for most of the season. - For what was expected at the beginning of the year, coming off a previous Big 12 championship , to follow up this way with a lot coming back - -they just didn't cut it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

All of the responses I've read I believe responding to what I read were very good. - - I have trouble with just them using him as a practice player, under the assumption the Lawson brothers don't bang hard enough, not that is a bad response - -just saying surely not. - - The wear and rear on Doke? - -possibly. - -maybe wanting to reduce the risk of injury during a practice? - -hell I don't know lol.

I just think a much bigger need for depth on the roster for game conditions. - We need a legit body that can mop up if the regular 2 we have get in foul trouble - -even if it is only 4-5 minutes. - -I just feel when this is all said and done - -yes he will be added as a walk on - -& yes he will see some spot duty for a while - at least till De-souse gets here or Billy gets reinstated. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well read an article this morning from the zags blog site. - The wording kind of surprised me, Coach Self stated that they were going to practice Sosinski the rest of the week and then make a decision next week if they could use him or not.

That in it's self isn't what surprised me. - What surprised me was him saying that they were using him as a practice player. Said it was not strategic plan to add depth to the roster, but for practice - - -I for sure would think as far as practice - -we are good already for practice- -including bigs, I mean we have BOTH Lawson brothers for practice then we have Moore & Cunliffe - that sure threw me a curve. - Practice is not where he is truly needed I wouldn't think,

He said that it MAY be possible that he might get in possibly for a minute or two at the end of the game like Tehan & Young -- I for sure thought he was needed WAY more as a spot player in case of foul trouble from Doke & Mitch during game situations - -I don't get it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Always love to do my best to yes , yes I'll admit to be able to troll Kentucky board for various reasons, a lot of the time just to check and see how intrigged they are about KU - and then being able to pick up on any recruiting tidbits anyways found this very amusing got a sweet little chuckle just like to share:

The poster says" I will say this: - - IF Billy Preston manages to get eligible , you guys ( KU ) - -will finally have ONE semi-elite player on your roster.

The rest of your guys ( KU ) are scrubs. - -Devonte Graham ? and Malik Newman? - - GTFO of here. - -there you have it my friends THE STATEMENT of the year. - -KU players are a bunch of scrubs - -lmao - -oh that hurts to even type that I'm laughing so hard.

Let me just respond to this poster this way - -Can't really respond to this poster directly cause they kicked me out when I stepped on some toes lol, only way to get in now is under a different account - -they haven't figured that out yet - but hey it's Kentucky lmao.

Anyways how I respond to this statement is this: - - - OK, so We are nothing but a bunch of scrubs? - - sweet, to that this is all I have to say. - -If we are truly scrubs without Billy - -what are you saying about your team? - - Cause you just got beat by a bunch of scrubs. Right? - -I mean came out your mouth - -we are scrubs -lmao - -loving those Kentucky moron's - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Really good to be able to check out another teams board and find some refreshing talk. - -Syracuse fans giving us lots of props. - - For the most part they all seem like they could be in trouble -said for sure they don't want to get in a track meet with us - -make us play at half court game - -saying they are the tallest team in the Country, they might have a chance.

Really afraid of our outside shooting - -giving SVI all kind of props - -talking about Devonte, just refreshing seem pretty level headed. Not saying they don't have a chance - -but most seem to think they could be in trouble - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

This Syracuse team is very long, but also very lean. Azuibuke could very well over power this team, or pick up a lot of cheap fouls. How that plays out could decide the tenor of this game.

The key however, is for KU to hunt good shots. Threes will be there all day long, but you can't get lulled into taking long jumpers just because you have half a step or so to get the shot off. Guys have to hunt - literally search out - the good shots and not just settle for what seems like an open shot.

Good points. - - I think a very valid part will be getting a guy in the middle that can make those passes out to the wing - -exp/Vick. - -Like you said, just because it's there doesn't mean we fall in love with the 3. The three is gonna be there, the baseline 3 will be there quite often, but we need to explore inside, thing is Doke going to have to be decisive, the ball can't stick in his hands. It's already been proven when Doke posts and they can get the ball in - they have no one that can stop his take to the basket. - -They just can't force the pass or fall in love with the 3.

The way we have been able to move the ball we average 20 assists which is the result of wise decisions, good ball movement - bottom line the ball CAN NOT STICK, crisp passing will beat that zone. - -and if we hit outside jumpers we can pull them out of this zone - -just be or make wise basketball decisions. - -We have been down this road before with Syracuse - They will be no pushover , but they for sure can be beat - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Indiana decided to play dead the last few minutes of the game and concede the game to Duke. Is Duke that good, that lucky or is there something else going on? Three in a row with similar endings.

Oh their pretty good, but I know you know that - - - -BUT - -I don't think their un-beatable by any means. - - I think they got lucky against Texas actually - -Portland I thin it was just a matter of time before the end result happened there.

The one thing I will say is, not really sure how teams are going to find that solution to handle Bagley & oh can't remember his name - - -is it Trent? - -I can't remember on the spur of the moment the other big. - - You and everyone knows or should know - -Bagley is the real deal -at one point I would say probably half way through the 2nd half Bagley had 21/8 - -and the other Big had 18/12

I DO think if we could get De-Sousa OR Billy - -or would even be sweeter to get both -But if we could have a couple of Big's - and not trying to place a knock on Mitch -but and I really like Mitch - -BUT I'm just afraid with the combo of Doke & Mitch we would be in trouble - -the talent level between Mitch & Bagley and the Other is night and day. - -However if we were to have Doke & De-Sousa - Or & Preston - -if we had that combination of two/three - -I feel we could very favorably match up with them -Have Three quality bigs and then also Mitch.

Actually if this scenario played out actually I'd take those chances see how it played out - because I for sure will take our others matching with theirs for sure - -Devonte , SVI - -Vick - -Newman - -Garrett - hell ya I'd take that. - -They have showed that pretty much with any consistency anyways that Trippy McTripperson is really their only consistent outside shooter at least to this point of the season - -ya I'd take that.

Going back to the Duke/Indiana game last night, in brutal reality if Indiana would have made even a decent percentage of their free throws I think that outcome could of been a lot different - I think that results a lot towards the game - - same way to a little lesser degree even with Texas - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Scoring per ga: - - Okla - - 3rd , 96.4 - - -KU - - 6th , 94.5 - - - Fg% - - KU - - 4th , 54.1 % - - Okla- - 19th , 51.1 %

Side note: - - Trae is 2nd in the Nation in Scoring at 28.2 per game. I still hold fast as even though very talented , I think bottom line and as was pointed out in another conversation the other day - - -Yes they play different positions BUT - I just still feel as an overall view - -this Oklahoma team is just another Buddy H. - -team take 2. - -Trae really good - but other then him - -some solid players but NOT that complete rounded team. - -Trae going to get his points - but come big 12 play how is that gonna work out? - how many more wins?

I think Trae is going to cost OU some games - -forced shots - -untimely shots- - and such. - -Looks to me like Trae is kind of a ME FIRST type of player - -I'm gonna get mine, could be wrong but don't think so. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Your experience is wrong. Google “KU basketball Sosinski” and you will see this thread show up....with your post on lack of chemistry between two players which anyone that has followed the team knows is incorrect and now is all over the Internet.

lmao - - -your right -- I never follow the team, what could I EVER been thinking of - -how silly of me, , I guess my question would be is WHY would somebody ANYBODY search all over the innernet " Google it " to try and see what they can find about team chemistry, just befuddles me. - but then who am I see cause I don't follow this team, so I would have no idea if there are chemistry issues or not.

I mean I can only go off from statements made by the players themselves talking about their chemistry and how they get along with one another - -but then again what would they know, I mean they just practice together, go to events together, put it out on the floor together, live together - -why would they know or speak about anything on Chemistry - just don't understand how they would know and speak on it. - -then again I don't know cause I don't follow the team. - I guess I must be in a dream THINKING I'm watching the games - -what a waste of time. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp

I agree. From what I have seen to date, KU’s A+ game is the best in college basketball. The question is how often will KU bring that or close to that game? It certainly did not against UK.

Exactly, and the reason their A game wasn't like that against Kentucky? - - It's because the quality of the competition. - -I sure hope people are not under the mis conception that the games we play this year all gonna be like the Toledo - - Oakland games and such. KU can bring their A game from now on and it is going to be a different story - strictly of the opponent we play.

The 38-43 point blow outs are gone for the year- -we steppin up now - -Now the real season begins, Coach Self mentioned as much himself - -the players realize it's now go time, no more Oakland's or Toledo - Or Texas Southern's - - We can bring our A game and they can still be a very tight game

I think saying our A game is the best in college Basketball might be a little deceiving, again you have to look at who we did that to. - -The one even somewhat quality opponent we have played ( and I say somewhat because of their youth ) - But the one team Kentucky of quality, you didn't see that a game blowing them out by 38-43 points.

I know we didn't bring our quote in quote A game that night - but maybe just maybe Kentucky had a little bit to do with that. I'm not saying we aren't that good. - - We are plenty good, it is just I hope people aren't getting lulled asleep by the results of these games.

Huge difference between playing Oakland and Kentucky / Syracuse - -and Texas A&M - -even the West Virginia's of the world. - -Let's not read to much into these results and make them out to be more then what they are yet. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 Oh man I think that's a stretch. - -Pretty confident about the win myself but 20-25 - -ehhhhh maybe not so much. - -I'm thinking maybe more on the lines 14 possibly, I'm more concerned with our very so thin front line getting in foul trouble this game.

Can you imagine like what Coach had to do in the one other game when he had to play young in the 5 because Mitch & Doke both got in foul trouble. - - Again Syracuse is # 2 in the Nation in offensive rebounding they just beat the boards to death - -Quick athletes - -Doke has really got to play smart. - We have to use young early in this - - we in trouble - real trouble. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAY

@JayHawkFanToo True home court advantage may be true - -bit you ration it out - it's been proven KU has a home court advantage AND the loudest arena - already established that record on the decibal level - -loudest arena in the country.

Doesn't do a lot of good if you pack in 23,00 or whatever and the biggest majority of that fan base is of elderly nature, Uk fans have even commented on this - -a lot of their fans are wine and cheese - like your setting at a tennis match and the polite clap - time to get rowdy - crazy let them know your there.

KU get's it - - Duke gets it - -UK fans not so much. - -I've never been impressed by their crowds. - - Iowa State gets it - -doesn't do any good if you have 23,00 plus and they sit on their hands. - -Younger UK fans complaining feeling like they need to be able to be seated closer to the floor. - Some can have sold out arena's and you can still feel like your playing in a morgue.

That's why I've never been impressed with the Carrier dome - -way to big to hold a college basketball game - -you lose the intimdency , the closeness - -same with the Dean dome - - I'll keep our 16,300 and be quite happy - -where it REALLY GETS LOUD - - so many recruits/players/foes have mentioned as much. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Had to laugh. - - Was watching the high lites of the game off ESPN this morning, and they showed a Devonte lead pass to Doke for a dunk, - -and sure enough like the ESPN people said - -here is Doke and he puts the ball down one time/takes one dribble and slams it home.

Only one problem - -clear as day - - clear as the day is long - - -he double dribbled lmao. - - when he dribbled the ball dribbled with both hands on the ball - - umm no Doke lol - -it's ok big Fella - the beast just continues to attack - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Agree. Syracuse will not be easy for sure. - -Lots of length, they play I think 6'6 - & 6'5 out front in their zone have a 7'2 guy, and like has been mentioned really athletic. - -# 2 team in the Nation I think they said in Offensive rebounding.

Doke got to be really careful in this game the way they crash the boards, this is a game where we are going to need all5 guys to attack the boards for rebounds - -this will be a game where Garrett can help because of the way he rebounds the ball I think -we are going to need everybody. - Doke has to stay out of foul trouble for sure.

I think the one thing we have to realize and keep in perspective is, and I think all of us know this - and that is the quality of the competition. I mean we don't want or we don't want the players to get to full of themselves with these results.

I mean we have been playing really good - just don't want us as fans or the players to think that we might be that much better, the Competition gets a lot harder starting Saturday. - We will really have our 2nd chance at a more quality opponent.

In fact, all it does is put a larger target on your back, which we do not need. Every team we play it is their NC game because of the name on our jersey. When the season nears the end of March then I will be concerned about our ranking. But not right now.

Exactly. - - actually being # 1 only REALLY matters is at the end of the season. - - If you are ranked # 1 for 3/4 of the season and enter the NCAA as a probably or very legit shot of being the champ and you lose in the Championship game or before that game do you think people really care or will remember that you were number 1 for 3/4 of the season? - You take a poll and ask someone on any season or a particular season - - -ask them if they can answer two questions - -1st who was ranked number 1 for 3/4 of that particular season and then # 2 who was the National Champion that season. - -I'd bet you anything the response will be like 85/15 they can tell you the champ - -but not who was ranked # 1.

Every game we play we have that bulls eye on our chest - - doesn't matter if we are ranked # 1 -or # 81 - -like you say - -our game with them for a lot of these schools the game with us - - IS their championship game cause of being the traditional rich blue blood elite of College basketball.

We go to arena's - where these teams are lucky to play in 1/2 full capacity for their season, but yet when we come 9-10 they are sold out and the place is like a zoo - - The only reason that I see - -the ONLY reason at all that matters for the rankings during the season - -is for seedings at the end of the year for the tourney - -other then that - it's pointless. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know it's got to the point where this Billy thing has gotten beyond crazy. We know still really nothing, OH sure we have people who say they have inside info - -they have a friend who has a friend , of a friend, that has a friend that has a close inside source - -now I have to say - -HA. - - -the real truth is NOBODY knows anything more then what we did - -anything being spread around is merely speculation.

You have people saying oh, well my friend says it's just a 6 game suspension - -or a friend that says it's a 9 game suspension, then some say he will never play. - - -People say oh rumor has it the car is from some famous KU alum, Or it's his car his mom got it for him or what the hell ever. -- Bottom line is we DON'T KNOW NOTHING period. - -

Feel like sometimes when you hear all this stuff contradicting other things being said makes me feel like we are in a room full of old ladies in rockers drinking hot tea and hoping to be the one to break hot gossip. - - No one knows anything - -well in these forums anyways, not concrete 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt, and without knowing for sure that's how things spin out of control.

I think it's just time that we center our focus more on now of hoping De-Sousa makes an early appearance, go on the assumption , that we just don't know when or IF Billy is coming back - - leave it at that and move on - - at this point from everything flying around I think our chances are better with the De-Sousa situation then with Billy right now. - -Is Billy a better player then DeSousa? -- I don't think so - at least not by much, so we get De-Sousa - it comes out as an even wash - - This Billy thing has wore me out. Is he coming back - - isn't he going to be able to come back, - - Did he take impermissible benefits - -Didn't he, it's becoming a yearly thing with KU - having players in trouble of some sort or another, we just need to focus now on the players we DO have and just let the other sort it's self out

Another thing that chaps my ass? - We have people out there not her that I've seen but in other places that say - -Where is Coach self in all this , where is the assistants - -they are suppose to watch these things. - -Who says they aren't? - - People trying to blame Self and assistants for some of these - - - Saying it their fault - -it's the Coach - - -really? - - seriously? - - If that's the case then - -I haven't seen SVI in any kind of trouble since he has been here - -I haven't seen/heard about any trouble with Devonte - - -I haven't heard anything about Mitch - - - I haven't heard anything bad on Doke - - Frank not a peep last year about trouble with him - -Didn't hear anything about Mario when he was here anything bad - -but you wanna say it's the Coach's fault for these things? -- -get the hell out of here with that - -I say HA. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
