It was a good run. Thank you Jayhawks.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Gad, what has the world come to when a Big12 team has to rely on a victory over Wofford to establish its bona fides?
-
@truehawk93 I can see benching one, especially if Webber was hoping KU would implode in the 2nd half. But not both. Should have rolled the dice with one of them at least.
-
Bill does the same thing. It’s not 100% that they’ll sit the whole rest of the half, but until recently he would banish players with 2 fouls to the bench for the half esp if there is less than 5 minutes left. He also sits them with four fouls until less than 5 minutes dare left as well.
Wade isn’t 100% and ended up fouling out, so it’s hard to say this was a terrible call. The other kid probably should have been allowed to play thru his foul problems though. Guards typically can adjust their game better to avoid calls than big men.
I just hope Weber can scew up a game down the stretch to give KU a chance.
-
I think it depends on the player and the game if you sit them the whole time or not. When I was coaching sometimes with the flow of the game we had to play a player with 2 in the first or the game could’ve got outta hand. A senior like Wade should be more than capable of playing at least for a few minutes with 2 fouls. If I’m not mistaken he got his second with about 8 minutes to go. I would’ve sat him for a few and told him to play softer on D.

I think the even worse call was playing Wade when he was clearly hurt.
-
@dylans Oh he will.

Wofford is currently ranked 24th, that’s a good win this year. It’s also another top 25 win for KU since KU is one of their 4 losses as well.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 We mopped the floor with them 72-47. Granted it was early but there a team I’d look for an upset, SDSU aswell.
-
@BShark yes. He was clearly not 100%. That’s why it would be an easy call to limit his minutes and mask it by sitting him with fouls. But that gives Weber way too much credit. What actually happened is Weber played an injured Wade in an attempt to beat their hated in state rival, possibly at the expense of postseason success.
-
Ol Squeaky’s response to Wade is yes-t he is at about 60% - -70% - -BUT - -an unhealthy Dean Wade is better then no Dean Wade roflmao - -that’s really good Coaching philosophy - way to look out for your player’s interest their Squeaks lol - WOW
Say Wade needs to practice - -needs practice lol. - He needs rest is what he needs - - you risking this kids foot even worse - you gonna screw him/it up BIG TIME - OL Squeak is just wanting something - - anything at all costs - no mater if he really jeopardizes someone or not - -Good looking out .
Squeak crying like some snifling bitch about having to play on a Saturday night and then have to play on a Big Monday lol - -ahhh poor lil Bruce it’s ok -you need a hankie - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I remember lots of arguing on this board when Embiid sat out. “Can’t hurt it any worse” “Can, too” “Cannot” etc etc etc
-
The Silver lining to The Streak likely being over is that we should see a few highlight reels about Kansas celebrating it. The downside is that I’m sure they won’t hesitate to mention Adidas problems as the last bookend.
-
Okay, super silver lining here: if we would’ve obliterated the record, I think it would lose legitimacy. I’m kinda glad we’re done at 14.

Before we all get angrier and angrier tonight, let’s remember no ones done this before and it likely wont be repeated.
-
the streak unraveled according to ESPN’s front page.
-
@BeddieKU23 They don’t say a word about our streak until it’s over. Now it’s big news.
-
The Streak is Dead, long live the Streak. As the bodies began to pile up, we knew this was the year.
I am amazed that the Mystical power of Allen Field House became stronger. We’ve always had consistent scorers (Plural). We had to become a one trick pony in a powerhouse conference that had a good coaches at a couple school that brought back lots of Veterans (Texas Tech and cough, cough Bruce.)4 Freshmen. Remember, the best thing about Freshmen is that they become Sophomores.

Back up the Brinks Truck. This man is going to be very, very rich.

Would we take him if Self left for San Antonio?
-
(I’d take him in a heartbeat)
-
Realistically…what are the odds of Self going to San Antonio? And is that a question of when and not if?
-
Now we find out if it was the pressure of the streak that prevented KU from winning NC’s, as promised by-- [Whacked, upside the head! “Hush!”]
-
I just don’t see Self leaving right now. You don’t build what he built and then tuck your tail and run at the first sign of true turmoil. And I’m talking about the FBI stuff not winning the conference. He has a lot of pride in KU and what he has done. To me it would be way out of character for him to just leave and let some else clean up his mess.
