  • The Texas bench scored 23 pts last night; 15 by Bishop. In 47 min of playing our bench scored 6 pts. In 23 min of playing time Joe was 1-4 and Bobby didn’t shoot in his 8 min. I sure wish KU had a Remy Martin type player on the bench; Mr. offense. I’m satisfied and excited for Udeh and his future at KU. But, how did our coaching staff miss so badly on the other bench players? From here on, Jalen, Gradey and Juan cannot have an off night.

    How in the world did Tang get COY? Did you see how terrible they looked? It’s going to be incredible if they even sniff a win in the tournament. They’re a joke.

    Cause the world is soft



  • Re: Tang, COY, my query is did he just get lucky in the portal or is he a great evaluator of talent and a coach who gets his guys to play well? The next two seasons will provide the answer. Great job in 2022-3 Coach Tang. And, I root for all the Big 12 teams to win in the tourny, even KState. I’d like to see an all Big 12 final four.



  • @stoptheflop Before Remi started his hot streak last year off the bench, what kind. of production did we get from the bench? It’s almost like our bench players really aren’t expected to score since the starting five pretty well takes care of that. It would be a real bonus if they did, but none other than Joe look to score. As long as they can play good defense and either score a few or create opportunities for starters to score, I’m ok with that.

    Remember what I was saying about how Self cooked Calipari? Self pretty much laid it out in the post game too. Been a problem all year for them and a big part of why they probably won’t make a tournament run. No coaching from Calipari, just vibes.



  • Well my friends I don’t want to be a possible future Debbie Downer but A team I really don’t want to match up with at this present moment in the NCAA’s 7 that my friends is DUKE… Yes I realize we have already beaten them this year, and not saying we couldn’t again BUT thing is this DUKE team now is not who we played early in the Season.

    Duke is now the team a lot of people thought they would be in the beginning. - when we played them it was the Tip Off Classic - a bunch of Duke Freshmen , and players hurt . Now with Lively , Whitehead , and Felp - -what’s his name , now they might as well say Soph’ - and they are healthy -just saying guys they are a dangerous teams guys - just a bad matchup - -Length , Height - playing really good defense - -but if that happens it happens - ew just got to take whoever right one game at a time - -just ssaying this is one team I would like to stay away from as long as possible

    Me too. Once Conference Season is over , I pull for ALL our Conference brothers, the better they play - - represent - the better , stronger the Conference looks. Put a beating down on all these other wanna be Schools. So we get what 7 Schools in ? - -wish could get the 8th but no - we need to represent do some damage in the tourney. - I think KU -K/State & Texas might get some W’s do some damage

    Come on now, don’t let your hate for the purple kitties over shadow reality. -Thy had a good year I look for them to win a game – maybe even two in the tourney. You do remember how bad we have looked at times this year right ? -This is a team where he came in and only had TWO leftovers on that squad -he has done a hell of a job working with transfers/portals and such. I can’t stand them but I’m gonna give credit where credit is due.

    Let him hace Coach of the Year - could of been worse guys that didn’t deserve it as much - Let them have that , and w will just take another NCAA Championship



  • The Missouri Alabama game is on. I’m rooting for the refs. Can they both lose? Oh wait they already have.



  • Purdue is a bunch of floppers my god



  • Thank you (future conference member?) Arizona. Appreciate you shutting up UCLA for a night.



  • Kendric Davis would have got 25 a night at KU. En fuego against Houston today



  • @BeddieKU23 yeah staff whiffed on transfers. Mccullar is good fit but we needed 1-2 more.

    Had Kendrick came wonder who wouldn’t have started.

    He didn’t come though because he wouldn’t have played the 1



  • @kuballin10 said in Other games:

    Kendric. Would have been the 6th man hence it not really making sense for him.



  • @BShark that’s on the staff than and ludicrous



  • @kuballin10 Who would you bench? Bill wouldn’t bench Dajuan so that’s off the table. At that point benching one of the wings for him you get a lot smaller defensively.



  • @BShark our best team to not win a title played two little guards and Bill gushed over them

    I’d bench Gradey or Kev



  • @BShark If I’m being honest though I’d bench Juan and have him be the first guard off the bench. Play the best players - it’s pretty simple.





  • Bench DaJuan. The brilliant analysis of KUBucketeers…



  • @kuballin10 Seriously, who would you play as starting PG.

  • Watching Pitt & Mississippi state - - didn’t we recruit DJ Jefferies , that’s playing for Mississippi State? - - Thought I remember we were - -maybe not



  • @wissox said in Other games:

    Remember, last year about this time someone said he couldn’t wait until “that POS [Dave McCormack] left campus.”

    Maybe this year’s homage to that stupidity will have a similar ending!



  • Benching the dude that’s top 10 in the Big 12 in win shares, box +/-, Offensive rating, and won DPOY? Say what now



  • @mayjay I must have redacted this one, but daaaamn.



  • Did any of you guys even bother to scroll up and read the thread before commenting?

    I’d 100% start Kendric Davis over Juan. That’s playing the best players.

    22 a game, 3 boards and 5.6 assists and 2 steals a game - he’s better than Juan this isn’t some asinine comment https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4397066/kendric-davis

    It’d be like MOP Frank mason playing on this team - lookout. Juan is good but without a remy he’s limited.

    Davis doesn’t need a remy

    If you want to bench someone else like Kev or Gradey instead that’s fine and play two small guards like the mason/Graham days so be it.

    Fran managed to annoy all of ‘Badger nation’ tonight too!



  • @kuballin10 Maybe some read all comments, I don’t. I open it up and see ‘Juan off the bench’ and well you can see why a lot of us commented like we did. I have no clue who kendric davis is anyways, so even scrolling up as you suggested is meaningless to me.



  • @kuballin10 look I didn’t say “I’d bench Juan.” At this point I don’t really even care who for. We’d be worse as a team with Juan off the bench.

    What’s a message board for if not for saying holy crap that’s a bad take. Almost as bad as comparing a PG on an 8 seed from the AAC to Frank, who had nearly across the board much better stats against much better competition.

    Given your track record on Dejuan, are you really surprised people took your post out of context?



  • When did we get Kendrick Davis? Why hasn’t he played? These fantasy coaching moves ain’t worth the paper they aren’t printed on.

    I’d play Wilt over KJ.



  • Didn’t realize mentioning Kendric would cause this much of a fuss, my bad y’all.

    He was someone KU targeted in the portal and he went to Memphis instead (hence why I mentioned). Watched him play for the first time all year when he blitzed Houston and he played like Remy 2.0. Would have been dynamic here or anywhere. Oh well.

  • Enjoyed FDU’s beatdown of Texas Southern



  • Cmon FDU Beat Purdue!



  • Okie State just edged mighty Youngstown State in the NIT…But at least they won. Clemson lost to Morehead State and Florida got whipped by UCF. Maybe UCF won’t be an easy night off in conference?



  • @DCHawker This is why UNC was right to just not bother. What’s the point? The players for the bigger schools clearly don’t want to be there. Villanova lost as well, their two best players didn’t play.



  • @BShark right it’s almost like football and not getting a new years 6 bowl. Why risk injury for a NIT banner that places like silo tech hang.



  • Hmm, I think Oklahoma St might have been a better choice than Nevada



  • @KirkIsMyHinrich I was paying attention to the bubble this year for the first time ever. Nevada and NCState were two teams that stuck out to me as not impressive resume wise.
