I am tempted to go back to Jaybate Amp theory here.

Self did zero amp for this game.

He will now use this loss to get their attention for Big 12 tournament and NCAAs.

I see high amp next week, especially for semis and final game if KU reaches that far.

Self has never cared about the Big 12 tournament and his body language and subbing patterns during the tournament show that. As long as KU wins the first game, their seeding will be unaffected and you likely won't see an amped KU in the semi finals or finals unless it's KSU.

Agree 10000 %

Is that a good idea? This dude is doing a lot of free lancing. Scaring me. Idk!

Much more aggressive then our last commish.- who just let everyone pass us by. - -Not sure - sure is a gamble, we wshall see how that plays out when time comes. - One thing though I think in the immediate end we are going to see Gonzaga added for Basketball

Yormark stated that we are for sure lookin at possible other Schools. Yomork say Basketball is UNDER VALUED in the latest rounds of TV right talks. Yormork hinted about separating it from football selling those rights uniquely when the Big Twelve hits the next open market 2030/31 Season

Well I see Joey Brackets in the updated Brackets he has us as the # 1 overall seed. Joey had this For KU to lose to Texas was less of a negative for consideration then Alabama losing against Texas A & M.

On top of that just listened to Clark Kellog & Seth Davis on CBS - -Both said when asked who the # 1 overall seed should be. BOTH said no doubt KU should be the overall # 1 - with our diligence of work we have done over the season - -hard to argue that KU shouldn't be # 1

Arizona time is an hour behind us right ? - -so 3 there is 4 here ?

@BShark Mercy what is going on with Coach's ?

@COHawk said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

@jayballer67 To take it one step further, we really have no one who has been consistent for some time now. Jalen is our closest, but he has had some rough games lately. Juan is superb when/if he is aggressive. I really believe that we can win every game before it starts. IF/when we play like there is no tomorrow, no team can stay with us. Not sure where the button to push is located, but sure hope Coach Self has it ready.

true I hope they can find it soon

I mean we aren't seriously in on this are we? lol.

Imagine staff finding a way to land him and Canaday. I'd die haha.

We have a LEGIT - - LEGIT chance with Canaday - -then the 4* CB that is announcing today - were sitting pretty decent - at least having a fighters chance with him - -final list. - I've hear we are in pretty heavy with this kid too that you are talking about of twitter out of Missouri - If someway w were to land him and the kid today along with Canaday - plus the two who have alredy committed - - -holy crap -- look out

@COHawk said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

@Crimsonorblue22 We have not played even close to how we played much earlier in the season. We have won close games which is great, but it is concerning with March here. And even more concerning the way our scorers are not scoring consistently. Right now Gradey cannot be counted on as a threat. Something is definitely off; certainly does not look like a lottery pick the past two games. It was as if the team treated today like a scrimmage, but Texas realized that it was a game.

Very well said. I've been thinking pretty much along those same lines. Sure we've won games - - games that could of just as easily went the other way - -2 -3 points wins or wins where we have to hold our breath when the opposition puts up the possible game winning shot. Now is not the time you want a team or players to be slumping , NOW is when you need to be playing your best ball -- cause now is the time it really counts. I mentioned this yesterday who is our other scoring option right now ? - Like you said it's not Grady , cause up until he hit that three late he had scored a field goal in over 3 halves -he had made 4 free throws - -THAT'S IT. So with out him , who is the other scoring option ? - -Jalen can not carry this team through the NCAA's by himself.

Right now as of this moment here is what I'm thinking about our team in the NCAA'S with the way we are playing - -The best scenario I can see possibly is an Elite 8 - but more in reality -- -a sweet 16 in more in line. The reasons for that reasoning is : - - Our rebounding -- getting beat to death as we have seen in some games on the defensive end - Teams getting 2-3-4 attempts , - -Our inconsistent shooting , we have hit a trend of coming out with %'s - -really bad - just ugly shooting -w do that against a quality NCAA tourney team , they gonna bury us. -You might be able to get away with those kind of nights in the opening round or 2nd game - after that your in Big time trouble. - then the other reason is Grady , he has got to get out of this slump , be more aggressive - we gotta have all hands on deck. With him being our by far best 3 pt shooter -- we gotta have that - you put those three elements together- -unless we can get it turned around - -then just can't see this as a National Champion Lastly have to agree with you on the game today - just seemed no energy, like they almost was at a point like well we already won the Title so it's ok - - NO it's not ok.

This is another reason I think they shouldn't worry as much about this post season Big twelve tourney.- Give those guys some rest - -let them heal up . give them some fresh legs , -get those reserves some playing time we can use late in the tourney. - We have proven who the champs of the Conference is over the long haul of the season not a 3-4 day tourney. - Hopefully get things straightened out

@kjayhawks said in Other games:

UNC should have to atleast make the acc title game at this point

I think they are in real trouble. -Either 1-10 in quad one chances OR 0-11

@jessejayhawk said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

@jayballer67 Does that mean we get Baylor for ou first game in the tourny?

No we play the winner of the play in 9/10 I think it's either Texas Tech or Oklahoma

We play the 8/9 winner. Tech is the 9 seed and probably WVU as the 8 seed. I don't know the tiebreaker situation between WVU and OSU, but OSU has a double digit lead on Tech with under 10 to play so it's looking like that won't matter.

Gotcha -so chances are WV then ?

This whole team has been kinda blah mediocre the last three games or so

@drgnslayr said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

I think it's a bad idea to play starters when they clearly weren't up for being competitive. It can't do nothing but hurt our seeding while it still risks injuries.

Once it was obvious we were flying the white flag we should have yanked our starters.

That performance was pathetic.

almost from the word go. - -I haven't seen us play that poor for some - - -well like they said probably Iowa State. - -Yet which was worse games - -Us getting beat by 16 by the # 9 team on their home floor - or Or Baylor getting stomped by Iowa State on Baylors home floor --Or Oklahoma the worst team in the league supposedly just curb stomping TCU ?

KU # 1 seed- - -Texas # 2 seed - -K/State -# 3 seed - - & Baylor - # 4 sees in Big 12 tourney

Always great to watch ranked teams then ESPN makes sure America still gets to see N Carol Duke - -that's laughable

gotta thow this away - -not dwel on it - -now it gets serious - lot's of work to do. - 1st things 1st though - -key players need rest

Jalen 23 & 10

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

NO WAY

I can't stand them either

Thank God this is the last time we play ehese idiots

we might get another couple shots at them this year, never know

hope not I can't stand these guys - -glad they are GONE

Thank God this is the last time we play ehese idiots

@RockChalkinTexas said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

Put in the bench

they coming - -he was getting Zuby

Coach is done - getting reserves ready

Jalen 21 & 10

If it was anybody but Texas we be down by 20 plus

just ugly inconsistent play sad

Where has that been the last 3 halves

Stil think we going to Des Moines then if can win there w go to KC

this was our chance to make the perfect move to get the # 1 overall seed

This is just not the day. -- Juan has missed his last 9 - just had got it to seven DAm

Good GOD Grady Scored

Bottom line is - -if we can't get Grady out of this funk - - -we in TROUBLE. - -Jalen can not carry this team by himself. - - Grady has been our 2nd best scorer the entire season. Now is not the time, who gonna pick up his slack. Can't lay it on Kevin he is just nt that type pf player -

To tell you how poorly we have played - -were shooting 28 % and only down 10 - - -Grady hasn't made a field goal for 3 Plus halves

@Zabudda said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

They gettin arrogant just like in Lawrence.

ya I noticed that quite awhile back - they just agorrant shits - -it's not that they have really done that much - -not impressive at all - it's just KU playing worse

how many shots have we had blocked today

It's not like Texa is putting on a clinic - we just messin ourselves

@DanR said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

Zach may be headed to the bench

Thank GOD

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

Don't believe that
Gotta agree - no way would he be leaving Zach in with his play -just like that play right there Zach in his teensy time -2 turnovers 3 fouls and bad shoots

Like Hanni just said they are sticking with Clemance kind of shows that they are just giving others guys minutes and trying to give these guys some rest not showing as much of importance on this game

Thank GOD we are off till next Thursday - just looks like they are tired - -a lot of minutes for these guys

Texas just quicker - - more athetic

Time to go home

Here is the Story -- 30 % FG - - 25 % 3 pt - -& 50 % ft and 6 to's - Grady 4 points lat game-- one shot - -NO POINTS today

This league is such a crazy league every time out -Oklahoma homa up 22 with 2 minutes to go

@Jethro said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:

8 points down? that ain't nuttin;....

Hard to imagine we could play any worse and have it in single digits
