    https://tbthoops.com/teams/jhx-hoops-kansas-alumni/ Here is the roster. Kevin Young, Darnell Jackson, and Carlton Bragg appear to be our bigs. A step down from Thomas Robinson and Billy Preston but still very solid. Tyshawn Taylor is joining too so the backcourt is going to be absolutely filthy. I got excited when I saw the name DJ Burns on the roster, but sadly it is not the same DJ Burns who led NC State to the final four.

    Wasn't sure where to put this, but these segments by Greg Gurley (Fans Wanna Know) are a glimpse into the person. This one is Leroy Blyden, Jr. https://x.com/KUHoops/status/2077422942107881845/video/1

    @kjayhawks2.0 Hey, I didn't name the category! But generally they are, but I wish they'd play deeper into the tourney every once in a while.

    @stoptheflop On the other hand what else could Ayers say? If he says "yes he headbutted me but in the moment I decided to overlook it". Imagine the firestorm that would have caused. So he was saving face by saying I don't know what you're talking about.

    @Texas-Hawk-10 I know we're picking hairs here, but a shot where the other team has to throw it from almost full court to win is a buzzer beater. And we lose if he misses. It was epic but somehow a quarterfinal shot like Laettners gets venerated as some sort of shot from the gods and Marios gets people saying well because it wasn't this or that it's not "as high up...." Bull biscuits. Horsehockey. Mule Muffins! Marios and Keith Smarts and Lorenzo Charles are the only true epic buzzer beaters in NCAA tournament history.

    Ignorant/Stupid question: Is it not allowed to establish a buyout on a player's contract so if another program wants a player, they not only have to pay the athlete, but also have to pay a buyout to the program? For example, the buyout could be $500k if they leave after 1 year and $1m if after 2 years. Some sort of structure so the program gets some compensation for the investment it puts into the athlete that is simply transported to the other program... Right now, only the player gets compensated.

    @bskeet the only road we got that I want like holy smokes was in 2022. I’d rather been a 9 seed like Iowa than us as a 4 with the games we got.

    The most important thing is winning in March, well and in April. But a season can be enjoyable even without the end of season success. I love watching KU play basketball. I love being other teams super bowl. Frankly we are that to just about every team that plays us. The only team that can talk any smack about us right now in the league is Baylor, and maybe Houston a recent runner up. Arizona hasn't been to an elite 8 since 2015, final 4 since 2001. Yes they could break that embarrassing streak of no FF's this year. We're crying because we haven't been there since 2022? Iowa St? Laughable to hear their pitiful fans talk smack on us. They've not earned the right because, well they've been waiting since 1944 when my 89 year old mom was 8 years old to play in a final four! BYWho? They're a midmajor that's been to 3 elite 8's. Texas Tech at least has a recent proud achievement with their national runner up in 2019. So I'm still darn tooting pleased to be cheering on the crimson and blue. We've still got lots of great stuff going on. Jump back on board Mr Nuleaf!

    @FarmerJayhawk said in Kansas vs St Johns: Man it hurts to see Marko has broken up as he was after the game. Say what you want about his game, but he really, really cares and loves being a Jayhawk. For sure I get on these guys fairly often but there is a difference between pointing out a bad play and hating a player for mistakes on the court. I loved KJ and Juan as people just don’t believe they should’ve ever been starting for the KU basketball team.

    @kjayhawks2.0 i get the reasons re: NIL, but the fact that this is an us problem and not an everyone problem makes it pretty clear Self will be on his way out, and hiring a players coach is the only path forward to success.

    Anything done with an EO is worthless here. The court rulings are driving the NCAA currently, so any changes to those rulings would need to come from laws passed by congress, not EOs.

    @kjayhawks2.0 Don't care about women's (smaller) basketball. Do agree that we should be All-In on men's basketball and football.

    I think you could circle a lot things in this one that were an issue. My main concern as it has been most the season is the rebounding. The refs were garbage and it’s starting to become major news across the country right now because what is a foul or a traveling one game is not in another. Sometimes which end it is on is completely different, they could’ve very easily called at least another 10 fouls on Arizona with how tight the whistle was for them. You guys and gals know I’ve always said professional sports in this country are rigged. I’m starting to wonder if college isn’t the same. It literally looked like KU cut it to 2 and the refs got a page or text reminding them of the spread. I think they should press have conferences after the game for officials. I mean how many of us can repeatedly do our job wrong or not all without having repercussions? The guy cleaning the ice machine at McDonald’s gets written up for forgetting to do it but officials at the second highest level of sports in this country making 6 figures have to answer to nobody.

    Actually, the broadcasters undoubtedly parked in the small parking lot adjoining the south side of the field house. Great Story: I don't remember the date, only that Cedric Hunter was playing. (The 6' guard had arms so long that he had to have his shirts specially made. 36 long wasn't long enough for Cedric.) Anyway, we were late to the game. I had stopped for a take-out pizza along the way from KC. My wife had the pizza box in her lap as I drove down Naismith Drive to the SE corner of the Field House (where crowds of people from the big lot (90?) cross the street). I spoke loudly to give the impression I was late and in a hurry. I said to the cop as I pointed to the pizza box, "Pizza for the press box!!" Without questioning me, he waved me through to park right behind the Field House. True Story. I swear!
