Hello
-
Congrats to a player I’ve ragged on this year for his lack of scoring threat for his Sports Center Top 10 dunk! Here’s to more of that in March!
-
Here’s one take: http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2018/02/24/no-8-kansas-clinches-14th-straight-big-12-regular-season-championship-with-win-at-no-6-texas-tech/
Spoiler: Last line:
“This may very well be the best coaching performance of Bill Self’s career.”
-
@drgnslayr don’t bring that guy up! He fires me up! Does he ever respect us?
-
Well, I said after the Tech home loss that if Self could win with this bunch, he is the best regular season coach in history. Bill Self is the best regular season coach in NCAA basketball history! Now let’s start start expanding that to simply The Best!

Congrats. I guess some here’s season is complete, they got the 14th. NC’s don’t matter now, right because this record is uniquely ours.
I don’t think hardly any of us that wanted this record don’t want a NC, either. I want to win Monday too so we don’t have to share. Kinda t’s me off you think that way!

their fans are convinced our guys won because of the “refs” and all sorts of excuses. Haters gonna hate.

Some more media love coming our way…

No kidding?!? It would take a minimum of 14 years.

Ya I read of their site also - -I thought dam - -don’t be haters. – Don’t hate the players – hate the game. - -thing is - -the thing - -losers find excuses - always make the excuses - -winners just win.
I thought holy crap this was on YOUR FLOOR not at KU - - dam but your right - just one post after another. - - then of course they wanting to throw jabs about hope you enjoy your championship - you still fold in the tourney. - - I thought this is coming from a team that makes the tourney when?- -then they talk throw jabs about how dirty we are and the FBI investigation - -just funny - -can you say ENVY?- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@betterfireE I would, to be honest if we win Monday, I’d start him a week from today. Just to see how he handles it. I’d play Sam and Mitch as much as I could get away it as well. I know Self probably won’t and has already said they would play to win in that position regardless but I think we can still win and give those guys some more minutes personally.
Actually that’s not a bad idea. - -We win Monday then give Silvio time at Okie State - -Sam try and rest Devonte - -Doke some and sprinkle in some others here and there let them rest some and give Silvio some more game time. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I remember Cliff Meely! That was back when I just started to get into KU basketball.

Ya? - - that was way back in the old Big 8 days lol.

@jayballer73 Those were good days. The next year Robisch, Brown, Stallworth went to the final four. A long time ago…

@jayballer73 Absolutely. My cousin took us to a game against OU…Clifford Ray, Bobby Jack. That was a good year. And don’t forget Kivisto!

Oh ya - - both of them Bobby and Tom.- -then we can keep going Rick Suttle - -the Knight brothers ( Danny & Kelly ) Roger Bohenstihl ya I know that’s not spelled right - and then Nino Samuel

@Crimsonorblue22 I’ve been reading comments over the last few weeks that a 14th would satisfy them. Don’t be ticked at me, be ticked at the people who said it.
-
@wissox Oh, for crying out loud. This is nuts. Saying you would be “satisfied” if they won the 14th but not the NC means how you will look back on it. It has nothing to do with the eager anticipation of the tournament and the fervent hopes of everyone here that KU go far in the tournament and cap the season off with a crown.
Stop trying to make it sound like you are a superior fan because you are anxious for a championship while you misinterpret some people’s voicing of a huge in-depth appreciation of this season as meaning they would be happy to quit.

It’s weird that some people can’t seem to enjoy the regular season and non-NCAAT accomplishments at all. And obviously I would love for KU to have more titles, but I’m not going to be all that mad after I fully process our tournament loss this season. Anything beyond the S16 would be a pleasant surprise to me given the limitations of this team. Is this settling? Is this being pessimistic? I don’t really know or care. But I will have fun watching the rest of the games this year.

Accompanying pictures to the Devonte pic. But they said Bill Self doesn’t develop guards.
-
@mayjay OK, since you said it I’ll stop.
-
@wissox It actually just sounded real snarky and so not like you…
-
@BShark Those pics tell a million words. That may be the real essence of what Self loves about the game- his relationship with those special guys and being part of thier developement and thier lives. Try getting anything close to that in the NBA

Self’s watch seems to have undergone a nice upgrade since Sherron!
