Imagine having that roster with 3 possible draft picks and 3 others that will play professionally and lose in the first round. @BShark

7th, 8th best coach in the league?

This was Shaka best shot let's see Coleman is gone -- - -Kia Jones probably gonna test the waters anyway oh hell cant remember his name their Center is gone - -Jones is done isn't he?

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Today's Games Thread:

After what happened last night, does Shaka even keep his job at Texas? He's yet to win a tournament game at Texas losing on a half court shot to Northern Iowa in 2016, blowing a big lead in 2018, and then losing to ACU last night.

Texas has their new arena coming in 2022 so Texas probably has a decision to make about Shaka's future with the program.

I think it heats up the seat up - lots of fans were already not happy. - - I bet he is getting roasted on their boards right now

I don't think anyone is fearful of USC, just nervous about having to play against the P12 player of the year and a likely Top 3 NBA draft pick. Of course KU can win...

very true , but no more fear against him the Cunningham

@Texas-Hawk-10 Again I am not impressed period - - Good - - not great. - you are wrong period about basing on one game thats laughable, I based off their entire Season - if they that good they couldn't even win their own conference but it's ok you go ahead and drool over USC I'll take my chances sure the not scared by any means you run scared -- you play scared

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Today's Games Thread:

USC is a terrible match up for Kansas. We don't have a quality answer for Evan Mobley. Dave isn't athletic enough to stay with him as evidenced by the Duck Dynasty guy kicking Dave's ass today. Mitch just isn't good enough to hang with Mobley and Jalen Wilson is probably going to have even worse fatigue issues than Dave did today if he's even able to go on Monday.

KU can't double Mobley full time because USC has three other starters shooting right around 40% from 3 and considering how bad KU's defense was today combined with Self's track record in round of 32 and Elite 8 games, KU' s going to have to pray they shoot like they did again today to have a chance.

Sorry USC really didn't impress overly that much. Sure Mobley is good - -USC is ok good, but we have played better teams this year sorry just not overwhelmed by them -- horrible horrible free throw shooting tem like was mentioned like 340th out of 368 teams. - -yep you Got Mobley, 2 Mobleys still again we played presumed # 1 pick for NBA this year and did ok ya different type of player but Cunningham just as talented as Mobley.

Just like other teams you might play with studs - they may get their points go crazy , the key is not to let the others on the team go off for career days. - - Look at Toppin last year - - great player real stud - -result - -we won. This year there has been Cade we split - bottom line can we get beat ? - - Sure - -Will we get beat umm maybe 50/50 - -Can we beat them ? -- sure we can that's why they play the game. - Just not blown away by them, whatever happens happens. - I've said we make it to the sweet 16 with this group - -anything else be gravy. -- Hel lDrake played well with them till like middle of 2n d half.

I do think Dave might have some trouble getting his shot off - -USC great length , still over all --- I'll take our chances

well here is a little nugget. If we happen to have to match up with USC - one good thing is they are a very poor free throw shooting team, think I head them say their like 340th out of 368 - - - -3-9 today

There is no way around it he was bad this year, but I'd take him in addition to Walker. We need guards and he will improve.

Love it when time after time when we play like crap which is pretty regular how easy it is for people to blame the refs. - But sooner or later just have to swallow the Crimson passion and admit were just playing like crap - - -AGAIN - when you jack up 3's like 10 seconds into the clock - -unless your a decent 3 pt shooting team which were not - -maybe just maybe try to work for the Best shot - - NOT the 1st shot

So some brillant logic. - -we come out go down 9-0 , time out , we come out drive the ball , drive the ball , drive the ball , and smothering defense and were right back in it during that time even going up 7. - Then typical us , w start launching 3 after 3 after 3 and what happens ? - -no rebounding , players maker bonehead plays not even thinking- just pathetic every fricken game we go through this , you would think it would sink in - -na surely not

NCAA reporting that they have given over 9,100 tests and only 8 positives have came from them. - - They didn't mention Schools or Players names but pretty good. - They did say a Game official had tested positive Monday he and 5 others from contact tracing had been sent home.

Dan Gavitt said that NONE of the 6 venues they would be using for the game , none would be in their 25 % capacity for the games , the attendance as follows : Assembly Hall only 500 fans ( 3% ) family % Staff - - - - Mackey Arena 1,350 fans ( 9 % ) - - - Hinkle 1,250 fans ( 14 % ) - - - Bankers Life in between 2,500 /3,500 fans ( between 13/19 % ) - - Lucas Oil where the final 4 will be played 6,900 fans & Equality Court 8,500 fans ( 22 % )

Tape I watched was not too bad. About what you expect from the #109 ranked player. Pretty decent rim protector, can make 3's. Seems like a versatile modern big. Not a ton of film on him yet.
