  One very fond memory actually took place in Manhattan. A long time ago. Must have been the early 90’s (it’s not even 5am, don’t feel like researching it). For some reason I was at the game by myself. We got our assses handed to us the whole game. Just played awful, so I was pretty quiet. We fought back slowly and by the last possession we were down 2, I believe. With 3 or 4 seconds left Steve Woodberry brought the ball up the court quickly and, with time running out, launched a loooong 3 point shot which he drained and we won by one point! I launched out of my seat, arms raised, double fist pump and screamed “HELL YEEEEAAAAHHH!” And everyone in the building heard me because, after Steve’s shot, it got stone cold quiet in there and apparently I was the only KU fan there that day. It was a long, tense walk to my car.

  @approxinfinity said in 2025-26 Schedule: This schedule was already loaded. At least tbese are 2 historically good teams These two programs are trash now. Notre Dame has made one NCAA Tournament appearance since 2017 and Syracuse only has one tournament appearance post Covid. KU should make the championship game of this as there will probably be several 2-0 teams and margin of victory, points scored, and points allowed are the tie breakers and KU has probably the weakest schedule of any team there.

  @rockchalkjayhawk said in KU Roster for 25-26: ****** With the recent House v NCAA settlement, things are complicated with roster size. It’s hard to say if KU has two more spots to fill, or less. Also, apparently there’s a new fule for “designated student athletes.” These are players who would have been removed given the new roster rules, but now may stick around until they run out of eligibility, but may not count against roster size. This could easily be ALL the KU walkons. ****** May as well look ahead to see what’s in store for next season. I’ll try to keep track of the offseason drama here. I’ll keep this mostly official, so no portal projections here. But the portal window is: March 24 to April 22 Roster size: 14 (includes ALL but DSA players. Normally it’s 15, but we lost one to NCAA sanctions) Roster size at the moment: 12 (a bit sketchy given the DSA rules) RETURNEES (4) G Elmarko Jackson G/F Jamari McDowell PF Bryson Tiller C Flory Bidunga RETURNING WALK ONS? (4 – and potential “designated student athletes”) G Noah Shelby G Wilder Evers G Will Thengvall F Justin Cross IMCOMING FRESHMEN (5) G Darryn Peterson F Samis Calderon G Corbin Allen – Oak Park High School SG Kohl Rosario C Paul Mbiya — not sure what year he is PORTAL ADDITIONS (3) G Jayden Dawson via Loyola Chicago. One year of eligibility left. G/F Tre White via Illinois – previous stops at Louisville, USC. One year of eligibility left. G Melvin Council Jr. via St. Bonaventure – previous stop at Wagner. One year of eligibility left. BIG QUESTION MARK (1) SF Jaden Nickens – A football player who may play hoops. May have to count against the roster before the season begins. HAVE ENTERED PORTAL (6 initially – Bidunga entered, but will return) G/F AJ Storr – signed with Ole Miss G/F Rylan Griffen — signed with Texas AM G/F Rakease Passmore — signed with Maryland PF/C Zach Clemence – signed with Texas A&M G David Coit – signed with Maryland Great info! Thanks!!!

  College basketball will have a couple of significant rule changes for next season. Coaches will be allowed one challenge per game as long as they have a timeout. The three things that can be challenged are out of bounds calls, goaltending, and restricted arc calls. If a coach is successful, they will get another challenge. Officials can still use replay for everything they previously have been allowed to. Another big change the NCAA is introducing a continuation rule for fouls similar to what the NBA has. Another rule change is that incidental contact to the groin area can now be deemed a Flagrant 1 whereas before it was an automatic Flagrant 2 and ejection. One rule that has been discussed and is not changing yet is game format. Games will still be two 20 minute halves. There’s been a lot of discussion about moving to quarters in recent years, but advertisers have been the big hold up on that as they would lose a TV timeout each half.

  This case is going to heard by a US District judge on Friday. The NCAA’s response is actually pretty good. They basically said that of Zeigler had an NBA future, he would’ve already gone pro and wouldn’t be worried about this. The US DOJ pretty much agrees with the NCAA on telling Zeigler it’s time to move on. https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/u-s-department-of-justice-ncaa-to-zakai-zeigler-get-a-job/

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Boy Howdy I’d say. Though when has KU eve backed away from a challenging Non Con ? – probably gonna take some licks , but I think I’d rather play that challenging schedule over a schedule full of powder puffs like some do, although some say that drains a team later in the Season all the really hard games early. That’s where you depth needs to come in and get some minutes, give the starting five some breaks ,- That’s why it’s vital we still got plenty of work to do to complete this roster.

  @MR11 I’m sure you are spot on. And since he usually likes that 1:2:2, like @Texas-Hawk-10 mentioned, it definitely requires some practice.
