What a gutsy win
Team might be peaking at the right time with Udeh getting backup minutes and effecting games
Need UT loss and we hold serve at home and at UT gonna be for outright!
-
The next 2 home games feel like trap games but we have all week to rest now
-
Idk what TCU has for offensive efficiency numbers. I’m guess it’s pretty good with Miles. That being the number 1 efficient offense and whatever TCU is in 3 days. This defense is starting to get stout and CS hasn’t even pulled out the tricks yet Bois and gurls
-
Would love to see Houston drop one. Want that 1 seed in the Midwest
-
If we win the Big 12 outright and make the tourney title game we’ll be the number 1 over all against the number 1 schedule in the country. You can book that
-
OMG
On such short rest too. Defense was the key. Hustle and grind got us far.
-
Defense won this one on a night we missed a bunch of shots. Fixed the second chance points in the second half.
-
Big game for Kevin. I’ll take an ugly win for sure.
We have a great chance to get at least a share of the B12 title now.
-
@Kcmatt7 not in their conference

@UT is for the outright title for KU no matter what UT dies if KU holds serve the next two games.
-
Now all we need is for ISU to beat UT tomorrow night.
-
Listening to ESPN we have for sure got Sean F as a believer, he saying that there really is not dominant team this year and that KU is s good as anybody. - -Saying Ku just picked up 14th quad win and he says his question to the committe is you talking about Ku being a # 1 seed - his quesion the the committee is why is KU NOT THE # 1 OVERALL SEED
-
Just do what the man said now. Hold serve at home. UT will lose atleast 1 game still. And then we go for bonus loot in Austin to cap it

WHERE IS THAT ? - That game is in Texas isn’t it ? - I COULD happen - -not counting on it but might
-
Nice long rest until West Virginia on Saturday.

you got that right buddy, ugly win , but sometimes that happens - A win – is a win – is a win - - -is a win
-
Gradey and JW on the bench early with fouls- kev kept us going. Great body language and great D all game, especially that last possession, fighting for ball as he did all night.
KJ had some mistakes but played so tough all night.
Udeh and those hands.
Gradey locked in the first half.
JW couldn’t buy a bucket but a rebound machine.
Can’t wait for the next few games. And a Texas loss!

Texas has a bear of a schedule. They play the Clones, Baylor, Tcu, and then us. We could be 2 games ahead when we play them.
-
Held Miles and Baugh to a combined 8 for 30. 27% = damn good defense
-
Texas has ISU, @Baylor, @ TCU and us. That a damn rough last 4 games.
-
Wasn’t to far off on my prediction I said like 7 point win
-
If we are playing our tough defense and are shooting 50% you better be able to avoid turnovers or we will win.

Texas has an absolutely brutal closing stretch.
-
CS still cares about the league. Look for us to win the next two home games. But not in complete blowouts. This is the only stretch where we can maybe get a lil rest, get a lil healing, get some more bench minutes, and not have to be our absolute best to do it.

Dam didn’t realize they shot that poor but that’s awesome - -we didn’t exactly scorch the netts - -Wilson had a really bad night but did a monster job on the boards with 13 so he did contribute.
-
KJ was uncharacteristically sloppy tonight. Glad that Udeh is coming along, kinda wish he would’ve had a couple more minutes tonight.
-

I think Saturday is the best shot at UT losing one of their next 3 games since it’s in Waco.
-
Udeh has been playing quality minutes, getting A LOT of deflections THAT IS CONTRIBUTION little things to help - he is progressing for sure
-
@Zabudda 39% shooting tonite was not great but was better than 30% for TCU

Self won’t rest players if the game isn’t a blowout. I’d expect KU to try and build big leads really quickly to try and play some more bench minutes.

If Baylor can get their guards on a roll really good chance

exactly their schedule is brutal -wish I could say I felt bad for them
-
Kenpom has TCU at 49 in adjusted O. I gotta believe that number improves greatly if you remove the Sans Miles games
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 he absolutely will if he believes he can lead manage the team to an eventual win and rest/heal them for a later date. Watch his press conferences. Hes all but said so bluntly more than once

Nobody shot well for KU tonight.

They simply cannot shoot the 3. Miles included. Huge reason the computers don’t love them
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich they were firing tonight!
-
@Kcmatt7 13 rebounds. 3 assists, 3-11 shooting is not the worst ever. He got hampered by some bogus foul calls and never found any rhythm. I don’t think we win without him tonight.
-
TCU is 353rd in 3pt% out of 363 teams lol.

He says stuff like that every year. He won’t rest them during the regular season unless the games are blowouts. The Big 12 tournament is where Self has historically given players more rest because he couldn’t care less about winning the Big 12 tournament.
-
KU got a little lucky tonight as well because TCU was only 13-21 from the FT line tonight.
-
@wissox sad for him, all those scouts there.
-
Reckon we’ll see. That’s not the context I got from it. And in years past I felt he sounded off caring more about the league race first. Not the impression I’ve gotten here overall
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, but I hate to say it, I never really thought Jalen was going to be a professional even with this years strong showing.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that and at tcu
I think Baylor losing tomorrow helps and then they are fired up not to lose 3 in a row with Texas at home
Tcu lost a tough one in Austin - they matchup well with Texas I could see 2 losses for UT before we play them
-
Gradey has the funky town tshirt on

He absolutely cares about winning the regular season title and in years past has cared about it to the point of being detrimental to player development during the season, including at times this season.

Jalen will get his shot in the NBA. He’s helped his stock enough this year that he could sneak into the late 1st round. Most mocks have him in the 25-35 range. I’ve said even since he signed that I didn’t think he’s athletic enough to stick in the NBA. He’s never been a great defender or shooter (now under 35% from 3 this season) and is a below average athlete for his position. He does get shut down by athletic 4’s he’ll see plenty of in the NBA.
His positives are that he’s not afraid of the moment and has always been willing to take the last shot, he can drive and play through contact, and he’s an above average rebounder. Those are attributes that with the right team and system, could get him 15 mpg in the NBA.
Long term, I don’t see him sticking past his rookie contract before ending up in the G-League and then overseas where I think he’ll have a chance to be a star in a top Euro league like Spain or Greece.

Tough win!
I qualify this game as BAD BALL… really only because we missed out on so much offense. Missed bunnies… our balls stolen and scored on… some poor defensive rebounding.
This definitely wasn’t like the second half of the Baylor game, but in the end… we won! We couldn’t put them away late, so we just shut them down!
We are fortunate that TCU is not a good half-court offensive team, and poor from trey, but we did play with good energy and it was wise for Self to keep Juan on Miles.
This was a game I circled to tell us if we are ready to win out. We are! Not saying we will… but we could and we should!
Nice to hear media talking like KU is capable of repeating. I’ve said it all year.
RCJH!
