  @BeddieKU23 Honestly going over the bracket today because I didn’t bother even watching the selection show but man this year maybe the worst the committee has even done between SEC crap and UNC it’s just not a good look. OU and Texas are laughable you could make a case for 17-16 northwestern over them.

  We could pretty much wreck our bracket if we come ready to play. I’m most worried about St. John’s but not overlooking Arkansas. @BigBad For sure… we need one of those guys to show up every game. I’ll go even further… We need 2 out of 3 showing up… AJ, Rylan, Diggy.

  I’m a fan of Jayson Tatum. I’ll have the hardest time liking Zion because of the KU bull shiz around him. Is he even playing, or still hurt?

  @BShark That really seems to be where the focus needs to go this offseason. I think if we are targeting starters- you need more complete skill sets to play under Self. If we are looking for rotation guys, then a shooter who might struggle in other areas is fine. Moss, JCL filled these roles great in the past but they weren’t full time starters where their weaknesses would be exposed as much as we’ve seen with Timberlake and Griffen/Storr the last two years.

  It’s definitely a possibility. Pretty much everyone’s projections has KU as a 6 or 7 seed.

  Wow hard to watch Philon get to the hoop and dominate UK and then Zuby play 38 minutes as big dropping 33 on a ranked Marquette team. Hard not to think of what may have been with more intelligent roster construction. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a 100 times. Whomever is doing our scouting in the portal needs to be shown the door too many misses the last 3 years.

  I seriously feel we have three legit teams that could make a serious run to the Championship.-- --Houston , - Texas Tech and then BYU. yes BYU. I think they are a threat. they play loose, they play fast-- love to run and thing is they let it fly and it’s not just one or two guys & they have shot a prety good % on the year. Call me crazy it’s ok But I think they could surprise some people. Really good Coach , plays good defense ya

  @BeddieKU23 said in Peterson: @BShark Says he will be out a few months more, hopeful ready for summer workouts. We can just put a giant kibosh right now about him being a factor for next year. Hopefully they will treat him like he’s the 14th guy and recruit over to fill the gaps we will have at the 4 and behind Flory (hopefully). Another not ideal situation occuring similar to Elmarko’s last year. They have time to adjust at least I fully expect KU to sign 3 bigs in the portal if we count the 4 spot as a big.

  @Kcmatt7 agreed, but I honestly like the potential tournament path as a 6 seed better. I think the difference between the average 2 seed and the average 1 seed outweighs the benefits of potentially getting a 4 vs 3 seed matchup in the 2nd round. Gives one more round for the region’s 1 seed to potentially get upset before we would potentially see them too. Will be a different march for us either way as any of a 5-7 seed would be underseeded per advanced metrics and I can’t remember the last time that has happened for KU.

  What's this team's identity?

  Our identity is mostly throw the ball inside to Hunter. That’s not altogether bad, but, with that strategy we cannot give up lots of 3s to a team because the math isn’t in our favor. The 2 identities that I’d most like to see change starting immediately are 1) the ability to withstand a push by a team and come back from a deficit in the game, take the lead and hold it to the end, and 2) finish the halves – that is, execute flawlessly in the final 1-2 minutes and come out even or ahead of where we were at the under 4 timeout.

  This team’s transfers are really lucky because at least one of them is always going to be on the floor and with the green light on. The most complete player is Rylan who shoots 35.1% on trey’s, can make some steals and pass and defend. Coit brings the energy dishes the ball and shoots 39.3% from deep. Storr is running out of time to make his mark on the team but I keep seeing him do things that catch my attention like a tough rebound or a really nice move on offense to score but has that detachment and he doesn’t dog it anymore. They are all in the 6 PPG area with a few instances several points higher than average. To have any real success in the afterlife we need more don’t you think.

  @kjayhawks Thanks. F 'em, I hope there’ll be repercussion. Yep, Zeke’s strong mental will overcome it.

  @bskeet I think the answer is all of the above. We looked much better earlier in the season to me. It was like the Mizzou game broke us in a lot of ways. MSU to me maybe the most improved team in CBB this season. From unranked and thought to be mid B10 level to a top 10 team. The ACC and B10 are down this season from what I’ve seen of them. The Sec has looked far and away the best conference but I’d almost put the Big East at #2 right right and the B12 #3.

  Maybe these guys can come out now at the end of the Season and just play loose— play free, might be what they need. -Just go out and play— play free-- loose. If you go on a winning streak-- Great surprise people , let the doubters doubt. And if you lose- -you lose, nobody at this point is expecting you to do anything anyways so there you go. Just play guys- -play loose- - play free-- and dammit have some fun- -this is a game you love , your suppose to enjoy what you do , instead of having to worry about any fricken Death threats --or having racial slurs thrown at you or any of that crap from some brainless idiots- screw that.-- Just try and remember back to the time when you was out doing the thing you do love- - playing Basketball–enjoy- let fly, I mean these times are going to be the very lst time many of you are going to be that last time you ever play for KU again- -just go and tear it up - -loose guys be proud remember you play for a Blue Blood of all Blue Bloods you play for the Kansas Jay Hawks Represent guys- -and good luck.- - ROCK CHALK BABY ALL DAY LONG

  @jay4ever Agree about Storr 100 % his feet should NEVER , EVER step foot on the court here again for one minute , he has been given many chances but as soon as he steps on the floor he is an instant turnover or a Black hole- give those minutes to a meaningful player

  @dylans I love when random fans of other schools talk smack in BB. Unless you are Dook or UK fans you really don’t have a lot of sense.
