@Texas-Hawk-10 I think it was pretty clearly an ass-kicking
Could Yesufu be more consistent with consistent minutes? Maybe he just needs volume?

Even with volume like he had last year, he’s not at that level yet. That’s probably the biggest reason he ended up as a mid major recruit, especially coming out of a market as competitive as Chicago is.

Scott Drew is now 6-27 against KU.

That moved our Kenpom D to 30th
Lists of coaches I would like all our opponents to be coached by
Scott Drew
Cuonzo Martin
Mike Anderson
Anyone feel to add on to this, it’s a fluid list.

Bruce Weber, Fran!

Can definitely see what you’re saying. Tools he’s got them but his shot ain’t great and he needs to go shadow Frank for an entire summer. Someone get Frank to Lawrence for the summer and pay him plus expenses to train our guards (best jump I’ve ever seen in a player).
Joe gets his right elbow so far in front of his body he’s like the anti chicken wing jump shooter…needs a tweaking.
He also needs to drive every time with a purpose. Shoot 3 three’s a game and unless you’re 2/3 don’t bother chucking again.
Harris just limits us title wise against athletic teams who also have skill (Auburn, duke, tucky, zags ect).
5 spot was good BECAUSE we didn’t feed the post it was fast break to start and it opened things up to feed the post when Baylor finally got back and we ran controlled half court sets.
Other feeding of the post was from dribble drive and yes, we still had the we are absolutely throwing it into the post possessions but that isn’t how we started the game nor should it ever be ever again…Bill.

@Kcmatt7 going two guards when the 2nd one is fully healthy and an athletic freak helps.
If Bill used him at tech to just be that annoyance on D think we would be undefeated in big 12.
Where’s @benshawks08 - that dude trusted Self and this team to win the big 12 when I 100% doubted them.
While playing wrong lineups we went 6-1…uk loss with those athletes and then och out really helped force Bill’s hand and reconsider things.
-
@Jethro he’s a cornball but a good coach.
Watch Our Time on espn it’s a cool view
-
Our best defensive game of the year. We held them to .078 points per possession.

Never bet against bill winning the league.

@benshawks08 I want him to emphasize titles over big 12 but one is a stepping stone to another. Gotta play the big 12 games might as well win them

Well with our defense thre is only one way to go and that’s up - So this is a good start

Kenpom liked us after. Up 2 spots overall. Back to 3rd on O, up 10+ spots on D

Metrics like 30 point stompings.

I enjoy the moment but always think about how good are we really. We pick apart everyone which leads to thinking how we want it to be instead of facing reality.
I’m solid with JWill and Dajuan. Dajuan hasn’t exploded but he’s better and better. JWill is a baller and suspect passer but so are the rest in that regard. I never know what to expect from The Dave and The Mitch game to game so F***.Och was getting POY reviews but currently that seems a little much although since the Reverend Mr. Braun (apologies to the Kingston Trio) was hot and then swooned and is coming around to what he was then maybe Och will score 20 plus every game again. They are mostly, and have to be, our rocks.
We are going to beat some good teams in the post season or at least we should. Whatever that means.
I am very concerned about our pinball handling of the ball. It’s like WTF guys just grab it already. And let us not forget our fear of making shots from three feet on in.
Overall we are progressing but it is not a smooth progression.
-
@Zabudda think the post season this year like most will depend on matchups. We can beat good teams but have weaknesses certain types of good teams can exploit.
-
Ahh, a late night stress-less DVR experience. Love it. Hey, did anybody hear anything on Joe’s injury? He OK or did his knee explode???
-
Self said he is fine. Thought Joe got scared by it but didn’t think it would be an issue going forward
-
KU has 8 quad 1 wins now. Tops in nation

Exactly and matchups are a mystery. And this must be why our posts are calling for Yesman and TreyCL to keep getting closer to make matchups impact other teams personnel.
Self likes W’s. We want another title or three but this year a deep run gets us IDK.

@BeddieKU23 But that is impossible with those 2 shitty guys starting instead of a guy who had one good game! OMG, HCBS should be fired for all those crappy lineups!!!

Maybe he will have 5 shitty guys starting by the end of the season
-
@mayjay the best we’ve looked is when he’s figured out the lineups and played one guy that many have clamored for all year…
So for the analysis of Joe impacting this team… Message board idiots - 1 Self - 0
-
@BeddieKU23 if we get this fastbreak offense which then opens it up for BiG Dave because we don’t start out every game force feeding him the first 4-5 possessions and get down 10-2…yeah then Self’s figured out how he should adjust his scheme to fit this team
-
Self is 21-4 at home vs Top 10 teams. Incredible
-
@BeddieKU23 he literally is and even against top 10 teams on the road won more than he’s lost by a decent amount.
In season big games, he wins at a clip that I’m 99% is the highest among active coaches.
