  I

  One of my favorite basketball memories at KU actually occurred on court when I got my one slight taste of D1 basketball. Pretty amazing that I got even one considering my total lack of physical talent (slow, no hops, uncoordinated), a genuine triple threat to my own team. But I had some size and (I thought) some strength. While in grad school in KU (84-88) I played a fair amount of pick up basketball in the rec gym. On a few occasions we were joined by the recently graduated Calvin Thompson who was still playing in the G league equivalent of the time, in Topeka I think. He was obviously an order of magnitude (or two) better than anyone else on the court so he mostly joked around and had a good time while we desperately tried (and usually failed) to score on him. He didn’t shoot very often, but he would occasionally decide to score. We knew it was coming because he’d be out on the wing and he’d hold the ball for a moment with a wicked smile on his face. All 5 of us on the opposing team would try to stop him by any means; holding, ramming, shoving. Did no good. He’d go through us effortlessly and slam the ball home. I gained an appreciation of the speed and strength it takes to play D1 ball on those days that you don’t get from being in the stands or watching on TV. Fun times!

  KU keeps things close to the vest on NIL. They’re going to hit the revshare cap easily and Goff said yesterday they’re adding scholarships. On the Big East thing, fine they’ll have more RevShare for basketball but none of them are good on NIL. Any school like KU can easily compete in terms of a total financial package. On UConn, they’re going to spend a lot more than most on women’s basketball as well. KU is well positioned to compete, though being in the Big 12 vs. the P2 is still a significant disadvantage. It would be a heck of a lot easier to hit the revshare cap with an additional $40m in tv revenue.

  @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.

  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.
