It will be a very interesting off season for College basketball. I'm not sure they have a ton on us with Zion not coming here and Billy not playing. If all they have is SDS's 2500 they have without question gone overboard with his suspension. If we get in trouble for KT discussing Zion's wants while they look into Dook's recruitment of him they are gonna piss off a ton of other programs. They have already been super easy on the SEC and ACC schools in the past. I think this could shake out many ways and one is the death of the NCAA.

We need a good old fashion scout from @wrwlumpy to get some MO going. What do you say buddy??
@nuleafjhawk No question Danny would be in my 25 of all time great NCAA players. I think Wilt is the GOAT in the NBA, both guys are top 3 KU greats with Clyde Lovellette IMO. Crazy to imagine how much Wilt could've done with a shot clock.
The same Pat Forde that was butt buddies with Rick Pitino? LMAO since when does that fool have a clue.
@nuleafjhawk I was born the last year Danny was was here aka Danny and the Miracles he's great but Idk if he's the best.
I rate Zion as the #2 college player I have ever seen, behind KD. KD wasn't near the presence down low or the rebounder Zion is but Zion ain't hitting 30 footers with guys in his face.
Wigs didn't get anywhere near the hype throughout the season as Zion has. Maybe it's because Zion is better than him but Dook is always getting more media attention than anyone else.
I'm Irish and my son picked picked out a nice green leprechaun hat for me at target. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Where art thou Romeo??? 🤣
Great for Belmont, glad we are in the midwest and wow Dook as the overall overall 1 seed? Only reason they went 1-2 vs UNC was Zions missed travel calls.
@Texas-Hawk-10 ok, and I also said repeatedly that Tech "could" make a deep run. Just said I'm not expecting much from the conference. Then you referenced last year which I agree and haven't disputed was a solid year for the B12. Heck Vermont could make a run, not even Sister Jean had Loyola to FF last year lol. Maybe I just took it the wrong way no biggie my friend.
In case the suspense was killing anyone, the TV made it thru today but there's next week so stay tuned!
I do think it helps with this young of a team to play the maximum number of games we could in KC. The atmosphere was good and similar to the ones we will see next week. Iike having very little to no expectations, we really haven't had that luxury for more than a year or 2 IMO of the Bill Self era (06,09 but I'd say less this season because those teams won the conference).
Agreed about Lawson on defense, at times it seems to me either he moves about as fast as a herd of turtles stampeding thru peanut butter or he just doesnt try.
@HighEliteMajor shoot we actually had guys that could shoot the ball on that team. As much as love HCBS and I do sometimes I think he's too stubborn. Like I've always said hitting your thumb with a hammer day after day and expecting different results is silly. Dedric cant handle physicality, that's just the way it is. David was 2-2 early and it wasnt like anyone was playing great defense.
@Texas-Hawk-10 short memory my friend. I said a few days ago I thought the B12 maybe after the first weekend and you gave shit about it.
@BeddieKU23, @Texas-Hawk-10 is just in an argumentative mood here lately. He just said how much better he thought the b10 was than the B12 tho hes been giving me shit about saying the b12 is weak.😁
Why Self didnt bench Dedric for a few minutes and give Dave a chance I'll never understand. Just like the Nova loss in 2016 why kept pounding an ineffective Perry I'll never get.
Garrett's 0-2 from 3 had very little impact, Garrett's 2-10 (all from inside 4 feet) on 2s and 1 for 4 from line was trouble. Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in the home I suppose. No pressure next could be positive.
Garrett and dedric missing layup after layup was huge.
@cragarhawk legs is a pussy excuse. We rested our starters plenty yesterday when ISU didnt.
I think this is the 4th game I've turned off this year. We quit plain and simple. I'll see ya'll Tomorrow to see who spanks us first.
Ya we quit no question
I dont think our energy is just need to make the easy plays. 10 misses with in 4 feet and 0-9 from distance.
Who gets the ISU MVP? Dedric or Marcus?
Grimes now 0-6 since starting 5-5 last night.
I feel lucky it ain't a 20 point game.
Dedric needs to be pulled, too weak like a sissy girl. Put in power David.
That's game bet we lose by 20 plus. We have been known to just quit once down double digits
Garrett 0-5 from the floor 1-4 from the stripe he maybe hurting more than helping
If we can keep this with in 5 by halftime we will win
Fts good god
@BeddieKU23 he was pushed in the back plain as day but if they let all parties play physically I'm fine with it.
Any one else yell get out bitch after the Grimes block lol.
Good God
Just need to hit shots, rebounding is good. We just need to engage a little more. Q running the floor to get that block was awesome.
Dedric has missed about 5 bunnies already
Gosh if we could hit 3s with no one within 5 feet of us we'd be great. Cant keep driving into 3 or guys. They aren't gonna give us any calls.
@HighEliteMajor He still has a ton of work to do in a very very short amount of time if he's not coming back. I haven't seen him projected to get picked in a few months.
Hopefully Ochai's 9 in the second half gives him some confidence back. Moore shooting 28% from the floor and 26% from 3 this season. I honestly thought he'd start early in the year over Dot but man for a guy was supposed to be a scorer thats disappointing.
@BShark they just paid Strong 10 million to go and have been asking for funding the new basketball arena. I was doubtful they had the 13 million to get rid of him in a sport no one cares about in Texas.
After seeing some upset again today to top seeds in some of the non power conferences. I don't think TCU or TEXAS gets in and I honestly agree with it. I've stated several times how I'm not sold on this league but this new system was supposed to help some of those smaller teams and prevent an OU type deal from last year from being a OAD.
You take the guy outta the hood but you can't take the hood outta the guy. Lucky he was to get a second and to possible blow it in the manor is plain idiotic.
Well I had a dream last night that we lost to KSU in the title game and I broke my TV.... nice to know it won't happen lol. The losing to KSU part, the TV maybe still up in the air lmao.
I think there is a good chance we can get a 3 seed and have a chance to play in KC again if we can pull it off tomorrow. Everyone outside of KU fans will cry but I think you have to reward not only the best SOS but the most quad 1 wins.
Watching Zion Highlights, the dude had about 4 travels just in the highlights. He'll fit right in the NBA
That's a foul, the rules say the shooter has to have room to land. He land on WV players foot.
WTF was that Garrett just take the ball, we forget how to play on the bench? Let's go I want a Teahan 3 damn it.
This group is handling things pretty, I'd keep them in as long as its 15 plus. Keep Garrett, Dedric, David and Dot resting.
@Crimsonorblue22 It was above his head, you can't get away with that.
