Yank time for Joe
-
Just a failure in every way. Big picture too
-
I hate seeing them laugh at us.
-
Very disappointed in Ochai tonight.
-
Based on this game, their Big O may now have a big leg up on our Big O for POY…
-
Wow. Don’t even know where to start on this. We can only hope this is a huge motivator
-
When we gt beat this bad -I don’t even get worked up – no reason. Lot worse when we lead for almost an entire game and then lose it to someone. - Of course that hasn’t happened much but just sayin. Bout the only thing you can say about this is - - - -WELP

The Curse of #GameDay

We had every chance to prevent that and we did nothing. Maybe getting humiliated will change things a bit. We can only hope.
-
time to bust open some Platinum
-
A good wake up call for sure. I still think these guys are playing at 80% most of the time
-
They have 17 rebound advantage. Needed a big team effort and didn’t get it.
-
Mitch still working
-
the only positive if there can be is- - not a league game
-
Mitch put in more effort to go after rebounds in 30 seconds than Dave did during all of his minutes…
-
Please work on layups.
-
At least this is not a tournament game
There is a tomorrow
-
@DanR Mitch is only player to be on 6 straight team posters
-
Well, they didn’t get to the century mark on us…
-
Decent d second half considering cal kept the starters in
-
Still have starters in
-
We had 0 answers for them athletically. MUST get MJ Rice to Lawrence.
-
The question is… How can Bill self and the team use this… Holy crap
-
I’d like to play them again for the championship
-
️ Be nice to each other

I just don’t know, this team can’t just magically get more athletic. Remy doesn’t answer that either. Joe does to an extent but that ship has sailed in regards to pt.
-
Whipped our entire ass. Oh well.

Very reminiscent of the USC beatdown…
-
@BeddieKU23 Idk have fun play 30 minutes a night. Hope we can beat the GLeague offer.
-
This just sucked.
Being a fan can sometimes just be flat out painful.
Wish they were playing tomorrow and can beat the crap out of somebody, anybody, just took wash the stench out of my being
-
Hoping for a better outcome tomorrow. GO CHIEFS !
-
We just have no 5 men.
-
The takeaway from this game for me is we need more talent. Remy was not the answer in this game either it’s not like he is super athletic. Thankful that we (hopefully) have 3 5*s coming in and Zuby is no slouch. Could use another guard though.
-
-
Kentucky only scored 39 in the 2nd half and we still lost by 18. We got problems
-
@tis4tim play KJ maybe in the first half…
-

We have extreme problems in the paint and off the bounce. Not gonna get better this year.
-
@BShark and Zuby and Udeh but all that doesn’t matter
Bill must play them, trust give, and give them long leashes
-
@DanR lol I hope this is sarcasm they just game into our gym and bullied us
Championship…let’s get to the sweet 16 first
-
@BShark funny how all those kenpom offensive rankings that were over inflated are coming down to earth. Anyone with an eye could see who this team is and their limitations
-
@DCHawker and that falls on one mans shoulders and when he has the athletes he has to play them over his system loving guys who may be in the right place more but doesn’t matter not athletic enough to make the playoffs anyways
We can win 80% of the time or more be close for big 12 and choke in tourney
Or
Bill can actually look at what happened and adjust instead of just talking about it

As good a coach as Self is, his stubbornness never ceases to rile me up. We know how he does his rotations and he simply won’t change no matter if it is warranted or not.
Remy, Yes, and KJ are going to get limited run at best this season and if you think recruits don’t take note of how Self plays his cards then I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you.
I sometimes long for the days when Roy would throw his sport coat into the first few rows and yank all his starters to send a message.
-
Really besides trying kj, who else is there?

Not trying, commitment

The answers are not on the roster though. Maybe Joe with more time but it’s very clear that Remy is not the answer athletically either. Can’t take guys off the bounce except sometimes after he completely sucks the air out of the ball and can’t defend.
The only reason they were 17-2 with such limitations was because of Bill. My biggest gripe is that Mitch plays too much but other than that it’s been about as good as we could hope for considering the roster.
If you are good Bill will play you, Dotson played 1168 minutes as a FR and you can find other examples easily. I am guessing Udeh will have a chance to start at the 5, he is what Self looks for in a 5 man. So hopefully the post issues are solved given we go from Dave/Mitch/KJ to then hopefully Udeh/Zuby/Zach/KJ. Zach with an offseason should hopefully add some strength which is his biggest issue right now (aside from being hurt). I am still not convinced JWill comes back at all.
-
Is Zach healthy?
He doesn’t have an answer at the 5 unless he lives with the fact, that he will have to live with the fact he has guys that will be young
-
@BeddieKU23 No. Still wearing a boot.
-
@tis4tim exactly farmer, bshark, ryan Noel OTOS…all of them can’t deny that Bills stubbornness in his ways does turn recruits off. They watch, they see and other coaches sell against him on this.
Does it mean he’s never played a freshman, no. No need to exaggerate but for almost 20 years there are plenty of better athletes and players that sat behind lesser players who “knew the system”
This is 100% on coach and after his usc press conference I thought he’s got it he’s gonna be a saban and make the adjustments
I was wrong which sucks
-
Give Joe, Harris’ leash and we’d be a completely different team with him at the point. He can defend the ball and beat his man off the dribble.
Mitch has had some great minutes, bleeds red and blue but give KJ all of Mitch’s minutes and see where we’d be.
I agree part of this isn’t fixable but in no way did Self do everything in his power to maximize the efficiency of this team. If he’s all about defense like he says then no way he watched this team for months and thought this is gonna give us the best chance to win.
