@kjayhawks Do we blame the coach who had him in when we were down 20-30 consistently?

Words - we will play for it in March with Mccullar ect

Actions - keeps starters in when down 20 and getting drilled and guys second half get hurt

William has lost it. We repeat the same arguments because of lineups and limitations at pg a bunch of dudes working 9-5 can see but he can’t

This true pg in his mind is “so valuable” that he’s mind fricked on how to improve this team when they offensively and defensively aren’t successful

@bskeet Houston will and that’s it I think

@FarmerJayhawk said in Cougar chat:

Yep clearly the guy with the 6th most tournament wins all time can’t coach in that very tournament

Championships >>>total wins without championships

That’s just a longevity deal

Saw since 2000’s for all the 1 seeds we’ve had we only have 2 titles……meanwhile check what Uconn has done

It’s all about titles and I ain’t talking big 12 either

@kjayhawks Same and I lean solely on the pg because Bill raves about him and doesn’t even look to replace him.

KJ goes hard 100% and I can’t say that about Juan.

If there’s a chance a guy doesn’t start it’s KJ and he’d be a good sport off the bench…..

But somehow our d2 pg is just irreplaceable…..get what u deserve William

@kjayhawks Shall we say the league level’d up and KU didn’t….ouch

@bskeet listing those two unranked teams as a kryptonite is funny and shows plenty about Bill Self tourney teams

I get losing to Wright’s Nova teams as kryptonite but don’t list that crap. Even if we get by those teams we aint winning it all

@dylans Let me know what u “saw” in that 2022 title run

This team u are seeing this year is Sr Juan running the pg leading the team

To 8 losses and the lowest big 12 finish in 30-40 years

But sure keep riding him cause Bill says he’s the best true pg in the nation

Give me Collins, Mason, Graham, Taylor, Hinrich any day over this passive d2 athleticism and scared to shoot the 3.

Oh but if you surround him with studs he’s great WRONG!!!

He has an all American 5 man and 3 man and he’s still trash 🗑️

The 2022 run would have ended to creighton if not for 1 guy playing the big pg minutes….or providence ….or unc.

Comically bad

@bskeet Nah Bill had the teams tighter than a nut…tough to perform

@RockChalkinTexas Keep waiting because he won’t pickup the D or O quick enough for Self’s standards and play 5-8 Braun minutes off the bench

@rcjhdraft If the pg is still here we will have another 6-8 losses and sweet 16 loss at best

@rcjhdraft Guaranteed the 1 and 4 starter spots are already locked in

We will whiff on some big recruits at those spots because of the pets

@StLJhawk Juan and Kev senior leaders in how to turn it over every game

But Self couldn’t dare replace Juan because “he’s the best true pg in America”

Uh bill ur pg definition is from the 80’s….learn the game brotha

@jayballer67 For you buttercup…can’t live without ya

Love our fan base complains about the refs when down 20 in the FIRST half

We’ve become ksu and isu fan wise

Level up has destructed us

@jayballer67 nothing to talk about when things go well

@jayballer67 Oh because if we can’t beat the whiny tangs at home Self should be fired

EJ and Timberlake

Man glad Bill’s got those yes men on the bench who are scouting so well

@kjayhawks Bill has lost this team….it hasn’t gel’d which anyone with a brain could have seen from a mile away

Get a legit pg like Shead and we will win again

A 4 man who is 6-8 and can shoot would be nice as well

@bskeet Was over before the tip….on the road and an actual good team don’t tell me you actually thought we had a chance

They are so much more athletic than us and flat out have athletes who attack and can shoot

Hope you guys took the cougars plus the points today…was free money

Hunter doesn’t even look to shoot the top of the 3 key. He’s neutered at this rate

Level up

@NormRoberts Pretty impossible when the 1 spot is completely unchallenged and locked in this year and next.

For all this “Bill won’t guarantee playing time” he sure does with his favorites and yet again further proof

@FarmerJayhawk What does bts mean? Not up on the young slang

Bill before any roster construction publicly said he’d made a commitment to playing Kj at the 4. That’s Bill’s own fault for any drama and committing to playing favorites versus recruiting and playing the best players

@BShark This is partially why I’ve been an arse today because the outlook not only this year but next is bleak.

@FarmerJayhawk argued with me about pets but that is the exact reason Ingram didn’t come here. He is a better player in all facets than KJ but no guarantees to start.

Our best teams had scoring guards. Our worst teams didn’t.

Frank, Devontae, Remy, Sherron ect

When Garrett ran the point pre Dotson it was rough….same with d2 this year.

The fact that you have to “surround” a guy with elite weapons is pitiful at Kansas. Go get bucket getters and teach them to defend it ain’t rocket science unless you are Bill.

@Crimsonorblue22 Agreed tough to respond to the truth because taking any other side makes you look like a clueless fool

@wissox Geez you are literally as bad as my 92 year old Grandma whining about the refs…get out with that weak sauce

Baylor was more aggressive from the tip and we sucked

@wissox You still believe in this 2023-2024 version of the hawks. That is the literal definition of blind loyalist unless you literally aren’t watching this team all year.

We are bad away from home and gonna get bounced early because we don’t have a legit pg or 4 man

I was told back in November to show back up in March and talk then.

HOF hasn’t adjusted crap cause his two pets can’t ever come off the court for better shooters

Nunn and Dennis>>>> what we got

@kjayhawks He doesn’t have the cojones to do that but he should

His weak arse assistants don’t have the nuts to challenge him on it either

KJ and EJ off the bench

Juan

Timberlake

Kev

Furphy

Hunter

@DanR idk maybe our fifth year sr who can shoot 35-40% throw up 4/5 a game because he’s literally unguarded and defenders go under every screen ALL EFFIN YEAR

GREAT ADJUSTMENTS BY BILL ADVISING HIS PET

@DanR Or his shooting instead of make a contested layup and give up a bucket on the other end

@rcjhdraft said in Wounded Jayhawks game thread:

KJ 1 rebound smh

Where is @Texas-Hawk-10….he will annihilate us with how bad a rebounder Kj is and he’s proving true by a mile

@kjayhawks Houston dominated that game from the tip and peed it down their leg second half then like a title team held on in regulation and OT

Definitely not us but then again tell me Houston’s guards and then compare them to ours

@RockChalkinTexas Because we can’t possibly win without Juan!!!

if EJ is playing good then Bill has his head so messed up because he can’t sit KJ or Juan for a better three point shooter when down 8-10 all half

@kjayhawks I’d rather he shoot 5 threes a game

Had the great steal and layup

Dennis comes right back at him gets into the paint and hits the floater cause Juan is a bad one on one defender

Then he doesn’t shoot the open three he tries to force it into KJ. His lack of ability to shoot a freaking jump shot is comically bad. How do u not practice shooting off the dribble mid range and 1,000 threes a summer????

The Morrii shot literally 1,000 -1,500 threes a day in the off-season

@wissox nah just watching the game and being realistic about the state of the team.

They suck on the road which shows they are weak mentally but also athletically

It’s okay to tell the truth even when it isn’t sunshine

Why I’m ranting is because we have to deal with this bad basketball for another year with DeJuan at pg because not even Steph Curry would start over him.

Bill couldn’t trust a frosh and won’t even LOOK at a legit transfer who can fill it up

@kjayhawks yeah Bill ain’t losing to Tang twice in a season….we will be AMPED for that one and win by maybe 8-10 😂

@jayballer67 Just for you buttercup. Figured after you called game you’d logged off

@kjayhawks Don’t hate his the best pg at KU ever with a title…just ask our HOF coach who never plays favorites

@BeddieKU23 Nah he built it and he gets what he deserved

@kjayhawks LEVEL UP!!!

@kjayhawks Level up baby!!!!

Bills dream at the 1 and the 4 is getting him just worked by trash Scott Drew, byu, ucf, isu….shall I go on?

@jayballer67 easy what you say about Dejuan because @jayballer67 will defend him hard….oh wait

Yeah hard to make any when he’s shot 1 a game and is left literally unguarded at the three point line the entire game. Just kills the offensive spacing and flow.

But hey I’m just a hater and don’t know the game….about to be an 8 loss 4/5 seed KU team. Oh but ballin’ he won a title (yeah that comment knows u didn’t watch the game. Had a nice lob and two steals and his arse road the bench as remy made clutch play after clutch play). Just STOP!

There is a reason he’s like the 5th-6th best pg in the big 12 and go figure our team is in the same position seed wise…it’s as if guards win in March or yada yada

Bill can keep flexin that level up saying with his d2 pg and another round of 32 exit

If Hunter doesn’t hit the top of the 3 key the offense is trash. Every defense goes under every screen set for a pg taking away passing lanes leading to zero threes and 4 turnovers

Kj was bad offensively tonight

Trash performance and now we have an extra game in big 12

Glad we leveled up this year but then again you ain’t win crap when ur D2 pg can’t stay in front of his man and won’t shoot the 3

Bill’s made this bed time to lay in it

Called it in December…no remy bail outs

@FarmerJayhawk My analysis of his game has zero to do with our discussion so don’t redirect the conversation

You said they were gonna bench KJ for him and I called you out. You asked for a source trying to bluff and I gave it to you.

I’m getting more connected and I can tell you people think Self is HOF but he has his faults ie his pets

There is no way KJ was going to the bench for Ingram if anything lineup would have been

Juan

Kev

Ingram

Kj

Hunt

@FarmerJayhawk Talk to his Uncle and get back to me about it….

@FarmerJayhawk You can keep telling yourself that my man but that isn’t the truth.

First it was adidas held Self back then it was the ncaa case for his entire career other college coaches and those in high school circles know how he operates. He plays favorites and has the guys he values for whatever reason.

Juan and KJ are 1a and 1b on that list. He loves kj and heck so do I so I can’t blame him but thinking ingram was gonna force kj to the bench never would have happened

@FarmerJayhawk Woulda coulda shoulda….it didn’t come together that ways and that’s on Self.

Ingram did transfer but you saying kj as 6th man is comical…Bill will never have Juan or KJ come off the bench.

Ingram knew this and that’s why ultimately he didn’t come here. Bill plays favorites and it’s known in college bball circles. It bites him in the rear and rightfully so when he won’t play a higher ceiling player over a guy who’s in and knows his system but ceiling is lower.

@RockkChalkk I feel like this is just fodder and stuff to write about.

He said it about Braun/Och team early…this past offseason he said he was revitalized and we are leveling up. Instead we are losing the big 12 and leveling down.

He can talk plenty but teams gotta win games

@rcjhdraft Hunter I swear is hurt. Can’t hit the 3 like he used too and been missing close stuff around the rim.

It can all come together in March just get healthy. Screw the big 12…win it in KC and roll into the ncaa tourney ready

@dylans The answer has and will always be Juan going into UK score mode. If he does that from the tip in games we will dominate because Furphy is who guys thought timby would be.

This would give us 5 guys who all can score it and semi defend

The bench is Elmarko and Parker…in the tourney 7 is plenty deep
