Do I think we win with Bill there? Yes. Could we and should we have won without him? Hell yes. I hope at some point his teams start shooting free throws better.
-
Overall honestly one of the funnest teams I’ve ever watched. I think they had a high ceiling but definitely didn’t get there. Always a sad day when it’s over
-
At least we aren’t Mizzou getting embarrassed by a 15 seed

They had two games all season where they “clicked.”
The Mizzou and Indiana games.

@AsadZ that last foul call for 2 AR FTs was atrocious

You could have stopped at the word Mizzou!

@Kcmatt7 2nd half of Baylor game
-
Also the missed rebound down 1 when Council missed the free throw. That’s another huge self inflicted blunder
-
@Kcmatt7 UT at home and Baylor second half at home. Probably what I’d consider their ceiling. But like CS says. Teams will usually play around 5 games below who they are, 5 above who they are, and the rest are true to who they are. I’d called today one if the below obviously
-
@HawkChamp ya that was pretty big
-
Missed free throws. It’s always our Achilles heel in March losses.
Good comeback from Arkansas. They beat us.
-
Sleep well folks.
Sun will come up in the morning.
KU BB will be back.
When is Late Night?
-
Time for Gradey to say he will return because he wants to leave his mark on KU basketball!
-
Maybe it’s the 10 second call late but that so reminiscent of Michigan in 2013. We had the ball up 4 with just over two minutes to go and had a ten second call. That’s so tough for me to handle from 2 really good guards that had mental lapses when you just can’t.
-
Back to watching mountain bike videos and watching the world financial system collapse
-
Watch some MLB in Spring and Summer.
Looking forward to next year’s team.
-
@Bwag that’s not coaching - guys have said it all year he doesn’t move well without the ball and he can’t create off the dribble against better athletes
It’s been discussed all year on 247 and Bill has mentioned it. We run stuff for him
-
To make matters worse KSU or UK will be in the sweet 16.
-
Well that sucks. pretty pathetic second half with Harris dinged and KJ out.
Seemed obvious the defense let up with Harris hobbled. And he gave up a few chances at the rim he usually would take.
Highly disappointed in this outcome. Jalen with only NINE shot attempts. that’s bad.
Just didn’t need to lose this game. highly winnable.
Eff.
-
@wissox nah only 1 team wins it all. Not gloating when we lose I’m a fan. Juan was good enough for us to win hit huge 3 to get us off 51.
We had a team good enough with matchups and hof coach
10 second call and 4 point run that ensued hurt
Rebound when ark guy missed free throw was huge
Bill would win that game. Hopefully it lights another fire and he dominates the portal and we dominate next year.
Self with Texas squad wins it all
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Walsh is 6-7 with 7-2 arms - he d’ed him up well
Gradey didn’t step up
Juan, Kevin and KJ stepped up
-
Arkansas effed up our post season twice this year.
I am bitter and officially hate them
-
Note to officials: it is not your job to make sure the inferior team stays in the game.
-
Buffered my expectations due to the wide ceiling/floor this team had. Really been more interested in next years roster construction of both KU and KC. Mahomes
is must watch tv for moi.

@cragarhawk said in Hog Wild Game Thread:
@Texas-Hawk-10 once again we’ll have to disagree. That was definitely not the inspired defense we saw in the first 10-15 min of the game in my opinion
And when you have 4 fouls, you can’t play that aggressive otherwise you’ll foul out.
-
World baseball classic is on, US Venezuela!

5 months until Missouri State!

Who’s guarding council?
nobody today! sigh. Although, dude made some unreal, circus shots.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 some prescribe to that theory for sure. And some also say the lazy Defense creates the fouls.

When you already have 4 fouls, you cannot play as aggressive as you want to, especially with how the refs called today, because you will foul out.
-
Norm just didn’t make any adjustments. It’s ok unless he’s forced into being the coach again.

@approxinfinity said in Hog Wild Game Thread:
Seriously, a top 5 coach ever missing and the heads dont even mention it in their post game analysis.
The talking heads also said that Musselman really knows how to coach.
Losing credibility as an analyst.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 right. I agree. But… how’d you get the 3th and 4th foul? Not moving your feet? We just see it differently. And you know what? That is okay.

Whether you like him or not, Eric Musselman is a very good college coach. The only year he’s missed the NCAA Tournament was his first season at Nevada, and even then he won the CBI, and he’s taken Arkansas to back to back Elite 8’s.
-
Well, Self’s post-season ban—er—leave is over. Now maybe we get final resolution on all of this alleged crap and can move on.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Eric is a better coach than Norm is no question

Had a lot of help from an inept crew. What podunk league were they from anyway?
-
@bskeet refs didn’t miss FTs and get a 10 second call up 4 with 2 minutes to go. Bad crew but they were even.
-
Refs not to blame for this game. We gave up 45 points in the second half. We missed FTs (esp. front-ends) and they made theirs. RBs were even at the half - they dominated in the 2d half, esp. with ORBs - ended up with 10 more shots. 3 TOs on Udeh’s illegal screens. End of half and late game execution was not typical - hate to lay that on coaching, but…there is a reason HCBS has the record he does in games decided by less than 5 points. Adds up to a loss in a game that was eminently winnable, even if not playing that well…

There were some questionable calls, but KU missed a bunch of FT’s, including the front end of several 1 and 1’s, and Norm made zero adjustments on Davis in the second half.
There’s a reason why Norm hasn’t gotten another head coaching job since he was fired from St. John’s.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 this we see similar. Norm is a great dude and almost perfect assistant to CS imo. But not a great HC. And not an HC at all anymore for good reason. But also not the reason, definitely not the sole reason we lost this game.

That 10 second call was marginal. They also called 5 seconds that was marginal.
Meanwhile, Arkansas guys were stepping on the back line all the time… Not to mention all the wrapping, holding, pushing and other illegal contact. Then they call illegal screen twice and WTH was that double technical?
Not a masterpiece. KU didn’t play great, but they were disadvantaged largely because of horrible officiating in the first half and selective calls in the second half.
-
@bskeet we can argue all evening I suppose but the players and coaches have to have accountability if the refs do it’s only fair. The zebras don’t miss shots, passes or forget to switch leading to wide open layup (think that happened 5 times today). That’s the KSU way of thinking IMO. Too good to lose on their own accord.

Stop with the blaming the refs. All 3 moving screens on Udeh were good calls. Udeh moved too early on the first one and was late to his spot on the other two. The 10 second call was also a good call. That’s not a judgment call, Harris was slow bringing the ball up, that was purely on Harris, and not the first time Harris has turned it over like that because of a lack of awareness.
-
Bottom line is & it’s simple. We can ty to make all the excuses you want - -try to find things but the bottom line is really simple.
Even if Jalen & Kevin hit the FRONT END of their one and one free throws - - not even hitting the back end of these - -yet if Jalen & Kevin hit the front end of those- - that’s TWO more points and we win - PERIOD pllain and simple, you hit your freebies - -you win
-
Ok. Community has spoken.
Here’s what I’ve got: Yesufu’s 40ft 3pt shot was nice.
-
@kjayhawks uninspired D second half leads to fouls, leads to more uninspired D(cause you cant/foul trouble) pretty simple equation for musselman. The entirety of existence knows our bench can’t hack it. Still with that? Hit your FT’s. Try to guard… rebound. Idk. Perfect storm of shittiness
-
@bskeet if on positive notes, KJ was great in limited minutes and stepped up from the line.
