@Gorilla72 they have the talent to go to the final four IMO but yes rooting for the fighting Boyles

As the old saying goes “the show must go on”. This site turns into a ghost town pretty quick but with a cold rainy day in central Kansas, I’ve got the early game on. Marquette vs Colorado, Marquette appears to be playing with its food.

Waking up this morning and thinking back to January 10th. We sat in Orlando Florida with a 16 point lead and a 13-1 record while being ranked 3rd in the nation. The wheels began to come off that night as we would eventually lose by 5 and go 10-10 over the next 20 games……

@wissox I maybe full of shit it may have been 2 years ago when he was in the portal. Either way I wanted him and it’s coulda woulda shoulda

@wissox Sometimes I do anyway lol, I always speak my mind, right, wrong or indifferent. Morris will go down as one of Bills worst decisions as Kansas head coach unfortunately. Good news is the time is now to move on.

Great game between Oregon and Creighton looks like the blue jays will prevail in double OT. Cousinard if yall remember was a guy I wanted last season in the portal he’d be our best player if we got him dropped 40 in the first round and 32 tonight

For the first time since 1947 both Kansas and Kentucky miss the sweet 16 in back to back years

The B12 women go 7-0 in the round of 64. Pretty impressive

@Crimsonorblue22 I get Tang wanting out but Louisville don’t want no part of him.

@Crimsonorblue22 why in the world would Louisville offer him the job? They likely want a proven winner to rebuild not a random guy that has been a head coach for 2 years.

@approxinfinity I’m just surprised you graduated 🤣🤣🤣 jk no malice

@bskeet that would be a pretty cool story, I thought Oakland was getting a very friendly whistle late

@bskeet that USC team is really good but they are super young compared to us. Hopefully that’s a good thing

@approxinfinity having a quality bench is something that won’t happen a ton as we plunge further into the transfer portal and NIL. Your starting 5 has to be great and the bench will have to have at least two competent guys. We just don’t have that this season 3 of our starters were fine with me at the end.

@approxinfinity I always cheer for the underdogs when aren’t aren’t playing

@FarmerJayhawk if only I could down vote lol, definitely don’t want UNC getting another title.

@rockchalkjayhawk yes when you look at the stats their 2 point shooting was the difference. We actually made more 3s and only had 6 less rebounds shooting literally half of what they did. We had a ton of good looks as well. Wide open 3s and layups. It’s the same game as the first half if we make those.

@rockchalkjayhawk in all fairness the d was much of the same. They actually scored less in the second half we just couldn’t hit shots to save our lives.

@FarmerJayhawk sorry but go Spartans

@drgnslayr Bill needs to get to work and get some guys in the door here.

A stat I hate is Self continues to struggle miserably in second games of the weekend. We have gone home now 4 of the past 5 tournaments in the round of 32. I know he has a losing record in the elite 8 but this round can’t be much over .500 at this point.

@bskeet think we also have the nations longest round of 64 wins record at 17.

It really just came down to shooting and defense. I don’t think we guarded worth a hoot. I’m not sure they guarded great. According to the shot chart we missed about 20 shots within 5 feet. We actually made 9 threes and they made 8. We just turned into a bad defensive team in January and I don’t understand why we just didn’t move to obtain position. If you go watch the UK, Tennessee or UConn game we look good on that end.

@bskeet wish we could get a steak like that going

Statistically I believe the worst year in Selfs tenure surely we don’t duplicate it.

How the hell Elmarko was a 5 star recruit I’ll never understand.

Like I said at the beginning of this thread, if it gets to 90 plus again we are in trouble. Needed to come out and muddy up the game. We just didn’t have the athleticism to do that.

Been a very up and down season with more downs than up that’s for sure

I honestly don’t think we win even with Kevin

Can we keep it closer than the 2021 USC nightmare

I guess I rather loose by 20 than a heart breaker. Lot easier on the anxiety

We aren’t even remotely trying on defense

ESPN said we had a 60% chance to win with nicks 3 to open this half now it’s 3%

Juan wtf look like he tried to dunk it smh dude has to have missed 10 shots within 5 feet

First stop of the half is shot clock lol

@wissox it’s actually who we have been all season lol

Have we ever came back in a game this year?

I just hope we don’t quit here but it’s gonna get ugly

The lady fat has readied her microphone.

@StLJhawk no one has shown the ability to guard today at this point.

This is unfortunately the team we have seen much of the year. But a long ways to go

This isn’t good guys, I knew we would t shoot great this half but 3 wide open 3s can’t miss all 3 of them

Danger zone

To put it short furphy has to hit a those

Elmarko, Mari and Parker all combined for 1 rebound and 1 foul in probably 10 combined minutes. That ain’t gonna cut it fellas

Not a surprise with the score but a very even box score

Juando keep shooting that trey kid the heck with the floaters

Two teams playing at a high level as to expected between these coaches and programs

We probably won’t shoot that good second half, come Bill do that wizard shit and shut them down!

@wissox 2 is okay no need to sweat
