  @drgnslayr they are playing well, but hard to judge considering the lack of talent in their league.

  @cragarhawk Right, UNC was #3 and #1 in those two title seasons offensively under the NCAA stats, and #2 and #1 with KenPom. Also, with KenPom, UNC was #7 and #21 defensively in their title years.

  @JayHawkFanToo The dad is a first class ____ (insert controversial “Brannen Greene Move” word here). That is my learned professional opinion. Can’t opine on drink throwing because don’t have all the facts. Sounds like simple battery.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 I added the word jump for no reason apparently. Imo this staff is pretty good at working on players shots. Though fts are a bit mental as well. @Ralph said: @Texas-Hawk-10 what’s his FT% for the season? HS stats are sometimes difficult to find. I found his season average from an article but I could not find actual box scores for his games.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 I agree with you. - -On top of that I’m not that crazy about getting the overall # 1 anyways didn’t do us any favors the last time we were the over al # 1. - Yep I agree we will be in the Midwest but we need to clamp down on the defense or it’s not going to matter where we go. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  Here are some of my favorite dumb comments: Jakabones Calipari lands the Harrison Twins last week, and then this week Self lands a former Towson commit with no other major offers? What the heck has happened to Self on the recruiting trail? Not happy with this commit. Looks like a Milt Doyle Part 2.0. HighEliteMajor Top 10 reasons we should put a positive spin on the Mason commitment: Self knows best. Barber, Jones, Jackson, Jordan, Peters, et. al., weren’t really that good. Randle must be coming now! Rankings don’t matter. He’s tough … you know, Chicago tough (but from Virginia). We have Greene and Frankamp, we can’t get ever one we recruit? We still can get Shepherd …er, scrap that. He’s a “diamond in the rough” … special thanks to Jackalope 7 for being the first on this thread. God bless you. Calipari cheats, so what do you expect? Heck, he looks good on youtube. Priest Fontaine I agree with most of you. Not too excited about this sign but I only hope to get proven wrong. I guess I was just hoping for a bigger guard with more strength and athleticism. It’s not the ranking that even bothers me so much. Selden has become the most important get at this point. I think he would compliment Tharpe and Frankamp much better. Throw in Randle, Gordon, Vonleh, Embiid or Roberson and I think everyone will be all smiles. KUfanInFlorida I am really dissapointed with this commitment. I thought Peters was a big possibility especially that he is visiting late night. Shepherd choosing TCU was really strange. Looks like Bill Self is not able to land the top players. Mason was clearly a back up back up back up plan. And one smart comment: Andy Tweedy I don’t know how good this kid is, and I don’t know how nice this kid is, and I don’t know how well this kid will fit in with players already here. But I know one thing, and one thing that makes this kid better than any of those other kids you guys are talking about, ie the twins at UK, the kid that’s going to TCU, and all those dudes. This kid was smart enough to choose to spend his college career in the greatest town, at the greatest university, with the greatest fans, with the hottest cheerleaders, with the best college basketball program, on and on and on. That makes me a fan right there! Welcome, Frank!

  @MoonwalkMafia Great points. But I do think it is better to win and go in on a roll vs. rest. However, we have done quite well after losing in the conf. tourney…like 2008, I believe? I do think the rest, while it can be beneficial, might be overrated. But the players and Self would have to tell us that…and they won’t. Yes, we would have won without Josh. But I still think we should have beaten them without him. They are, at best, a bubble team…11 seed? And they got blown out by ISU last night. The loss in and of itself is not concerning. What concerns me is that it demonstrated what can go wrong with the way this team plays. Not enough defense, no help for LL in the middle. No margin for error. We have done very well this year at finishing games. We did not do that against TCU. A couple of bad plays, a rimmed out shot by LL, couple of missed FTs. Fatigue probably played a part down the stretch. Also, the minutes when the bench came in and did not show well contributed to TCUs run at the end of the first half. The point is we seem to play close games against any competition. The more close games early on in the tourney the greater the chance something goes wrong. Foul trouble, a missed FT, untimely mistake, a 50/50 call that doesn’t go our way. Or out of 6 games a bad 3 point shooting night. A good defensive team can overcome a poor shooting night…not sure this team can. That’s what makes me feel uneasy going into the tournament. Seems like others share my concerns. I love our Jayhawks, but this team makes me extremely nervous.

  @jaybate-1.0 KU is the flagship Adidas program and would have gotten new units regardless, so I will guess it was planned well in advance.

  @HawkChamp that it does. all we can do is hope that it gives Frank some well deserved rest. hope that it gives them time to reflect that wearing KU colors does not mean that they squeak out a win every time. hope that they implement some basic basketball knowledge with their great skills that they have for the next 6 games.

  @Blown I’m not going to point a finger at Bill and say he intentionally lost this game. That would probably be considered a crime. I know it would if it was tied it to any kind of gambling scheme. But Bill clearly is in March Madness mode. Many of us have slammed him in previous years for not targeting his team to March until it was too late. If you have this game on DVR, please go back and look at it again. When we went up by double digit numbers in the first half, our offense was as smooth as it has been all year. It looked effortless. Eventually, our play helped motivate TCU to step up and play at a higher level. After that, we didn’t make that next step. That is a step we have usually made throughout this year. But it was clear this game had no meaning for our guys because it didn’t have meaning for Bill except to use it and try out a few things. While reviewing tape, look at Bill’s T. Most Ts on coaches happens over a little time frame where the coach builds up anger and continually adds to his venting. In this case, Bill just had a controlled “explosion” and then he was fine. He was testing the waters. He wanted to know how his guys would respond to him getting T’d. Brilliant move. Also… notice Bill’s expressions towards the end of the game. He just didn’t look like he cared. We only have 7 top tier players. That is enough to win it all. But if we lost just one player… not gonna happen. I hope our guys are having light workouts with lots of coaching this weekend. This is a small window of time to actually work on team development. We don’t get many windows like this in a season. We are usually just focused on our next opponent. I believe we will find our first tournament opponent on Sunday evening. So Monday, we get right after scouting and prep for Game 1.
