If they shut down Perry Ellis again, we have no chance.

RE: Seton Hall
I think the guys will be on fire, and we’ll win by 20+
(Don’t worry, I’ll avoid the game chat so my optimism won’t ruin the downer party.)

RE: The Overrated ACC
@Blown I’m tied for second to last place ahead of someone who didn’t finish filling out the bracket in the bucket challenge.

RE: Lite and dark
As I recall, the Lite group was bitterly divided between “tastes great” and “less filling”

RE: Time For Self To Kill C5
Did anyone actually watch the last ten-ish minutes of the Tech game?
Definitely slower pace with Lucas in, but I’d say we played more under control with Lucas in the game than with either Bragg or Diallo (and definitely without Greene flying around).
The quarter of the game where you WIN, net production doesn’t matter.
Tied 44-44. What did Lucas do?
10:03 Lucas post layup
8:52 Lucas screen for Mason made 3
8:31 Lucas boxout, fouled on defensive rebound
8:10 Lucas screen on Svi missed 3
6:02 Lucas assist on Selden jam
5:04 Lucas screen for Mason made 3
3:20 Lucas bounce pass to SVI who missed the dunk, made 1 FT
2:25 Lucas screen for Selden’s made 3
1:42 Lucas ssist/lob for Ellis jam
On Devonte’s layup at 1:08 Lucas screened Selden’s guy and Selden would have had an easy dunk if Devonte needed to dish of the ball. By that point the game was won.
Lucas got scored on a couple times in the 2-4 minute range, but other than that, I understand why Self is comfortable with Lucas out there. He knows exactly where he’s supposed to be.
Until Diallo figures that out, it’s going to be Lucas.

RE: Kevin McCullar is returning!!
HUGE. Kev coming back is ten times bigger than any of the new guys, including Dickenson.
I’m not sure if y’all remember how inept last year’s team was with Kev hurt or on the bench. The guy is locked in like a coach on the floor. Juando and Kev + any three other halfway competent players is a damn good team.

RE: Mercy- - Mizzery got blasted
Well, basically this is the same penalty North Carolina got except for the penalties.

Ostertag on Ice
Being a retired professional basketball player sounds pretty rough. Greg Ostertag–bored with golfing every day–decided to become the world’s tallest hockey player.
Interesting quote:
“I’ll be the first to admit that I never reached my full potential as a basketball player. I took it for granted that I was 7 feet tall, and I rode that.”
Yeah, well we all kind of figured that!

RE: Jesus Christ, can we please push the reset button on 2020?
I love the masks. Haven’t had to trim my nose hairs in months! Thanks to my expressive eyebrows and dancing eyes I’m still able to connect personally with people in Menards, Dillons, the liquor store… well, that’s pretty much it.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kjayhawks juando dunked against WVU in 2022 and 2023. I’m pretty sure juando had a couple more gentle flushes. Wilson had one dunk that I remember off a lob from Juando against WVU in the same @ WVU game… 2022? If Wilson had ANY other in game dunks, I’d love to see a video, because I seriously do not remember any. Not that it matters, but the dude was not a jumper.

RE: Tornados
always enjoyed watching people freak out in Lawrence over 40mph wind
Uh, we have 40 mph winds here all the time. No freakouts. A few inconvenienced picnics, that’s it… like the time my pringles blew off my plate and stuck on my wifes face. Good times!
KC and Topeka TV weather folks get pretty over the top with the tornado coverage though, good grief.

RE: You know it's a big day
I think Furphy will be extremely successful in the NBA. He was smart, mature, serious and focused in all the post game interviews. Instinctively, he has to be one of the best freshmen pro prospects in a long damn time other than the obvious 1 and dones. I’ll check back here in 3 years and see if I’m right.

RE: Are some people EVER happy ? Remember when .
IMO, transfer rules are fine and past needed. NIL rules are fine and definitely needed. Players were getting exploited (for program $) and trapped (just for control, I guess). I think both changes were actually good for players and programs (why have a transfer sit out a year?), but programs are just taking advantage of the gray areas now to make it a bidding war for disgruntled or greedy players. Maybe it will crater into it’s own making at some point.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
I’m happy Pope is out of the Big 12! Perfect fit at UK.

RE: 2024 Coaching Carousel
What’s interesting about the Kentucky situation is that it will be similar to KU sometime in the future when Bill retires or leaves.
I think UK is overlooking that Wes Miller dude at Cincinnati. He’s going to be a solid coach over the next couple decades.

RE: Assistant Coaches - Roles & Responsibilities
Rest? These guys are 19-23 years old. Unless they are only sleeping 4 hours a night (which is my guess), they don’t need extended periods of inactivity to let their fragile muscles rebuild. I haven’t bought this BS excuse from coach since he started rolling it out about 5 years ago. It’s been obvious conditioning is trash with various players.
Imagine coaching a guy like Hunter, out of shape from the day he was born, thinking that letting him rest more would improve his conditioning.

RE: Assistant Coaches - Roles & Responsibilities
New strength and conditioning coach is needed, IMO. Or maybe a new philosophy about conditioning.
Self always says, “well, in the tournament, you have the long time outs and longer half time, blah blah blah.” There’s no way those guys should have been that gassed half way through the second half–ALL YEAR. I literally haven’t seen one other team in the tourney that looked as wiped out except maybe Illinois in the second half vs UCONn.
Getting an extra minute or two to catch your breath doesn’t do anything if your legs, lungs and heart are not in shape to begin with.

RE: What about 2020?
Women’s bracket with home court advantage clearly eliminates nearly any upsets. Look at this year’s bracket. 5 or 6 “upsets” in two rounds. It’s ridiculous.
