@Crimsonorblue22 Happy Birthday!!!!!

Bill Self Sr. • Jan 22, 2022 12:51 AM

This man shaped our coach in to who he is. As a man and a lover of basketball.

Sending love and support from Wyoming.

Not sure where to put this post.

Looking at J Will’s Snapchat, it looks like he got a Wendy’s NIL deal. Does anyone know details?

Never too early starting 5 for 2022-23 • Jan 20, 2022 02:01 AM

The 5 spot is a mystery to me next year. I’d like to see Zach but he/his circle see’s himself as a 4.

From what I gather anyway.

Juan, Bobby, CB, Jalen (yes he’s coming back with a dramatic announcement), and Mitch in disguise

Some Post OU Musings • Jan 20, 2022 01:49 AM

@approxinfinity I hope all good stuff.

I think it will be a closer game as well. They were short handed in their first few conference games due to Covid, which makes their conference record worse than what it is.

It should be a better matchup for Big Dave than what he saw today.

Now I’m on board with the trash talking after that play.

Well done @wissox.

I like KJ and Dave together. Never thought I’d say that.

Non-KU Games • Jan 15, 2022 06:46 PM

KSUs defense is one spot below KU. They will pass them after today. Sad but true

@FarmerJayhawk but yelling F KU is classy? Ugh they’re a different breed. I have a few KSU friends myself.

I also want to point out that when Frank and Devonte were here, transfer rules and transfer probability was nothing as it is today. Kids want to play more otherwise they’re out. Self is balancing that as well.

That's why we saw KJ "start" while playing 10 minutes.

I agree but he also played the last 30 seconds as well.

ISU Game Thread • Jan 12, 2022 05:06 AM

After 3 frustrating years with Dave and 25 years with Mitch, Self is adjusting and not playing the teacher’s pet at Self’s beloved 5 position. KJ got to start both halves and finish the last 30 seconds, as a freshman. That should show you who he currently trusts.

Remy is a different story. He needs to learn the system first / be 100% healthy, then be unleashed. And I would bet anyone that he will be unleashed.

I do get where you’re going with this, and appreciate the bigger picture perspective.

I’m pretty sure the fans simply didn’t want to see Bill Walton.

@Crimsonorblue22 🤯. Very crazy if true.

This is going to be interesting. Don't know much about the Wolfpack, but this game doesn't look like an automatic "W"...at least compared to Harvard.

Their KenPom rating is #77, compared to 171 for the Crimson. That's better than every other team KU has played this season except Michigan State.

Nevada still isn't a good team.

Hard to say. I saw a little of their 20-point win over Washington on a neutral court. Not that UW is any good this year, but I figure Nevada will give us a better run than Harvard.

It's not hard to say, Nevada is a bad team. They're better than Harvard, but they're still a bad team with a couple of pretty bad losses and KU should still win by 20+ on Wednesday.

My wife is a Nevada fan and makes me watch every game. There was some drama with a player and was kicked off of the team. Since then they’ve won 5 games and look decent. I am worried about this game

Me, my wife, and 2 kids came to KS today from Wyoming. We bought tickets to this game last month. Great seats behind the home bench. I really hope they find a replacement.

My wife is a UNR grad. She is absolutely loving this. I’m actually kind of nervous for the game. They play 2 7 footers and they have 2 guards that shoot the 3.

So you think Huggy is feeling really bad Oscar Tshiebwe left - -got away ?-- Lordy 14 points &- - -TWENT EIGHT - - -- -TWENT EIGHT rebounds and the game is not ove.

I'm afraid what the hell he going to do to us on the Boards not going to be pretty Mercy oh Mercy an Animal

KJ, I think, is our best matchup with that guy. Too bad KJ is a year away from big minutes

As someone who doesn't like Eric Musselman, I think it's very cool that Arkansas lost to Hofstra tonight.

I can not love this post more! He is a weasel of a person and coach. He brings a very trashy culture to wherever he’s coaching.

I’m hoping for a Josh Allan (Wyoming) or Carson Strong (Nevada) kinda steal. Both, I believe only had 1 D1 offer.

@BeddieKU23 Jackson State over Florida State?

@AsadZ It worked out for Devonte to return for his senior season too.

Christian Braun averaging close to 17ppg now. His improvement has been extraordinary if you ask me. Completely different player and playing with so much confidence right now. He's fun to watch

He’s been a stud. I can’t believe I was wanting him to be the 6th man. Good thing I’m not a coach!

I’m more impressed with the guy’s high school track. That boy can move if he’s doing the 100, 200, and 4x400 at an all state level.

@FarSideHawk

It will. That was a designed play to get Dave a look at the hoop, everyone knows he doesn't pass. That's after the game he's had while Och Remy and CB had provided all the offense. It's bad coaching on that play. Regardless of the bad call it was designed to get him the ball because at no point in the game had we pinned Dave in the lane to go get a bucket

If KU actually shown any effort the second half, it doesn't come down to the final possession. That's why this game is on the players and not Self. Bill Self was not the one on the floor saying fuck it for 15 minutes and not giving any effort.

This post is a good one! Add the horrific free throw shooting and you get the result of today’s game. Too bad a loss is a learning experience.
