I really expected Self to be more liberal with PT by the 5 minute mark. Kind of rubbed it in leaving starters in so long.
He knows how bad our deep bench is.

good golly Mitch 0-7
-
@BShark Mitchell has 2 bros. 6th grade bro is already over 6’ & HS senior Miles is listed at 6’7" & is being recruited by Air Force according to Dad. Bills’ getting his due tonight #600 !!
-
ahh miss those guys!
-
@globaljaybird
You think there is a chance either of his brothers end up at KU as well?
-
What do you think Coach Self tells the other coach at the end of the game?..you scared us for about 30 seconds…?
-
I hope u guys saw the tributes to coach!
Wow
-
Now, that’s how you win your 600th game. Congrats, Coach.
-
Next up: Nubbs. In the same kind of Kenpom range as UGA and Stanford.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It wasn’t Puke and Rat Face so ESPN didn’t hang around for it.
-
@BShark BIG Bro has Lightfoot in the door so guess it depends if they are good enough to be recruited… I know Miles has an absolutely outstanding academic record. AF Academy is awful tall damn cotton.
-
I’m sure there will be a video somewhere. Past players congratulated coach
-
@brooksmd Yes I was pissed, why not show it on ESPN 3. People are watching are prob 90% ku.
-
They started to show Dee Brown and then the stream stopped. Pretty crappy stream, lots of technical issues, run commercials in the middle of the game…oh well, it should be much better from this point forward.
-
Assuming it makes it to youtube I will post up the link here.
-
@globaljaybird Correct I had a buddy go to AFA and you have to be very smart. I like Mitch, its just maddening to see someone go 0-7 from the line. I really wished he would have red shirted.
-
@kjayhawks But that’s OK cause he knows that def, taking charges, & diving for loose balls get him higher on the pecking list with HCBS than points. Ala AWIII, BG, & CF …
-
Not enough bodies. Next year I could easily see it happening but depends on the situation. Certainly if Bragg is back AND KU has Wooten to add to the class.
-
@globaljaybird hustle will get him far w/coach
-
I hope Florida beats the crap out of Dook…
-
@BShark With us playing small and having 4 other bigs I think would be okay most games. The only game he was truly needed was Indiana because it was a foul when I reached for my drink.
-
Foul trouble and potential injury situation. It’s tough with only 10 scholarship players that can play.
-
Testify brother Steve.
-
@BShark I understand your side but you can always pull the red shirt if needed. It is what it is at this point. Keeping work Mitch you’ll get there.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No doubt & agree @BShark not near enough manpower with Coleby still on the mend & LL not up to snuff. Some guys never fully recover from an ACL. BB players who do not get a donor or one that is smaller, sometimes the re-stretch will not allow the range of motion the game requires. And sometimes its damn tough to find a 6’10" cadaver. Sorter legs is not as tough a repair for the med personnel. & also rehab is more successful.
-
@KUSTEVE Yes, Yes let the hate flow thru you lol. I saw a headline on ESPN today that said don’t look now but dook is getting healthy, so I really hope they lose.
-
@globaljaybird @Crimsonorblue22 HCBS’s 600 calls for 2 fingers of CR 75th in celebration. Cheers!
-
@brooksmd have 1 for me!

Michigan staying ahead of UT. Were up 10 b/4 half but UT closed to w/in 3. Now down just 2.
-
Pissed we didn’t get to see the tribute to Coach.
-
Really impressed that we only let up 62 points. Usually when most teams score over 100 they let up 70 or 80 because they take so many possessions off defensively in the game knowing they can score at will. We also had a funky line up from about 8 to go on to the end with walk-ons in most of the last 3 minutes.
-
@RockChalkinTexas guys said a lot about how much he meant to them off the court

He should definitely be serviceable in time. May never start, but then again look at Lucas so you never know. 4-5 year program/glue guys that have smarts and a bit of game to go with it are critical to program success in my book. Releford, Perry (admittedly had a lot of talent), Brady, Reed, RussRob. Gimme these players every day of the week.

Yep. Sometimes just takes 2 years to fully recover as well. Though if Bragg is back to go with Preston and Doke Coleby is going to have a tough time finding minutes next year as well.
-
Coach Richardson said he was so impressed how unselfish our team is
-
The ball was pinging tonight for sure until the last 6 minutes or so.
-
Jj said he was glad to be a part of coaches 600 wins and the players from the past
-
Was just thinking what young thought if he was watching this game.
-
@RockChalkinTexas I know its not the same, but should be on youtube very soon. Maybe even tomorrow.
-
Thought ll was a lil better, Bragg had a better 2 nd half, agree?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said:

That he will get a lot of three point buckets and fit in well with this offense. I hope anyway.
-
@BShark The redshirt for Mitch will surely come sometime…This team is quite thin in the frontcourt this year & HCBS is playing Mitch whenever he can for just that reason IMO. Recall Mickleson was just not as ready for duty in March as he should have been & Bill learned a tough lesson vs WSU. A great motor is only as great as it’s controlled aggression. Mitch is willing to do the dirty work & let other guys get the stats. All he wants is the win for the Jayhawks.
-
DG and da Bulldog a combined 12-15 on 3’s. 8 rbs, 9 assists, 4 steals and 1, I said 1 TO.
-
@globaljaybird
Fantastic. A shame Conner didn’t have the same attitude.
-
@BShark cf who?
-
@BShark Agreed a home state guy like a Tyrel is a great story for our legacy & overall program. but not meant to be for CF, or the young guy at Eudora-Ballock? Each young guy has a different ego & also goals, and hey, that’s not necessarily a bad thing either.
-
@globaljaybird
Oh for sure. I think CF also made a poor choice with WSU. GREGGGGG is also a hard nosed coach like Self.
I wish Ballock nothing but the best at Creighton. He loved KU, but he is a wing and also wants to play and could see how KU really has it rolling there. It might have not been until his JR year that he really saw the floor for KU, and that isn’t what he wanted and why it can be so difficult to find program players because they will have options to play more at a lower level. I believe Teahan had some scholarship offers but chose to walk-on at KU instead, that’s pretty special but not for everyone of course.
-
Congrats @CoachBillSelf on 600 wins just shows how great of a coach yu really are, glad I got to be apart of a lot of wins love ya!!08champ!
