  @Texas-Hawk-10 I agree with most of your assessment but Remy is so hard to compare with anyone with not only how good he was but him being hurt and missing basically 2 months in the middle of the season. I compare coaching to parenting in a lot of ways. I believe it helped me parent being a HS assistant and coaching rec league for my nieces and nephews. I can’t imagine not getting mad at one of my kids if they played with a lighter and burned my house down. Then beating one kids ass red if they spilled a glass of milk. Hunter, KJ and Juan never get pulled for mistakes no matter if it’s major or minor. I feel like Coit and Mayo don’t get pulled unless it’s major. Now AJ, Rylan and Flory they get pulled instantly regardless of the level of mistake. I’m fine with that being the case with Flory because he’s a freshman. The other two you can’t treat like freshman because they aren’t. They have played a lot of ball at the power 5 level. They should be allowed to screw up like everyone else seems to be. The best chance this team has is to bench KJ and start AJ/Rylan. KJ is the same exact player he was 3 years ago he’s stats are looking like this will far and away be his worst year as a starter. I love KJ and think he’s a good dude but the best players should play. Spread the floor with Mayo, Rylan and AJ. Then you have room for big Hunt to operate. I have no problem with Self trying to break the colts a little bit but at some point we have who we have and this is our best line up.

  @approxinfinity said in And so it begins -- Players won't play without promised NIL $: Feel bad for the ageless one here. Imagine if KUs boosters were flaky and Self was stuck squeezing them and encouraging the kids that the money was coming. What a drag. Yup. What a crappy position to put any coach in. And remember, NIL money isn’t “pay for play”. Players aren’t supposed to complain about hustling butt but not getting paid. And it’s not supposed to be money for just being recruited. Outside of the court, it’s services rendered. We give you money and you provide a service for us at market rate. But whatever. It’s just crazy. Player revolts are a bad thing.

  @mayjay One man doesn’t make a champ in the NBA… not even Jordan. But I am surprised he didn’t get one in Philly.

  @wissox Ah, you I know post tongue in cheek… Except when you discuss coach K, of course, whose name I believe will be your personal “Rosebud” on your lips at the end, alas never to be understood by the AI staff in 2093 in the Old Jayhawks’ Home.

  It was the best Clemence has looked since his freshman season. Fun game. Guys are generally finding their way in the system and, in some ways, they look good simply because this group is shooting better. Next up @Creighton… will be difficult.

  @SlimShaddy54 I heard he’s supposed to go limited minutes. Might be a bluff.

  @BShark too many regular season NBA games to be a good product is the main problem. Players take off games since playoff seeding can be a crap shoot, so really just playing for home court advantage which isn’t as important as players being healthy. I generally agree with your sentiment but we have to check our biases with this. A neutral observer could watch a random NBA game vs a random college basketball game and I bet most would say the NBA game is more entertaining. College ball just has better intangibles and better tourney format which puts it over the top for me, but we are also usually watching a top 10 team play. I don’t know that I would say the same thing if I grew up in Boston a Celtics fan who went to a non basketball power college.

  @wissox said in KU vs Duke Game Thread: @Texas-Hawk-10 My experience is neutral floor fans that have to travel are not going to be the rowdy freshmen that are drunk, rude, crude and obnoxious. The exception being the Kentucky fans I met in 2012 in the SuperDome. I dealt with that group in San Antonio in 2022 with Villanova fans. Those fans generally lived down to the expectations of Philly fans of being total assholes. Vegas is also a major travel destination for rich kids, which Duke has plenty of, looking for a debaucherous time since recreational weed is legal in Nevada, unlike North Carolina amd have plenty of money to blow. Even with that, the students I interacted with fine and not like Missouri, Kentucky, KSU, ISU, or Villanova’s fans.

  @Zabudda We better not think we can go toe-to-toe in a game based on height. I’m hoping we try what we did in our last game and get out and run. We should be willing to try several things to see what works. This Duke team is crazy talented and tall. Not sure their weaknesses. I would think our best shot is to try to control the tempo and find a tempo we do well at and they struggle. Our on-ball and ball screen defense has to be energetic and pesky to disrupt their offense. I know one thing… Self better have stressed rebounding this past week. It’s the key to controlling tempo and possessions. KJ! Come on, brother! Get in there and fight!
