Just laughed thinking Griff might do something
-
Welp. Sigh
-
@kjayhawks I don’t think he’s hurt. I think he just didn’t want to be on the court with those other weenies
-
I was in the mood and wore my Miles Davis shirt
-
@nuleafjhawk F - - - I don’t know
-
Ch-ch-ch-changes.

We was up by 3 when he left, didn’t have much to do with Zeke forgetting how to dribble and Juan throwing away the ball
-
So , So , so , many things wrong with this team - -pretty much of a disgrace
-
Darn… too dark to pick up dog poo
-
Hate that Arkansas advances… but it’ll make sure I never forget how much I disliked this team built out of quitter transfers this season.

Nice last fitting TO by Hunt.

This is the most excited I’ve been for football in a while

Team looks good. Should catch a baseball game too if you can. I’ll make it out to one or two.
-
My only smile this year was watching KSU not invited to the NIT then saying they wouldn’t go
-
Great way to finish your career Dickinson and our Season Dickinson.-- 4-13 shooting and FOUR TURNOVERS -two in the most critical time of the game you need help getting out? - I can help ya with that.- -
Most losses since 198 Lots of work to do this off season to get back to respectability. - Got to find guys who can dribble the ball— make have way decent passes – and be able to finish two foot shots and putbacks-- someone with much better then two inch explosion.-- Did Dickinson even score in the2nd half
-
Hope KJ’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked. All I’m going to say right now.
-
Well, we had a lead with minutes to go, then just started tossing the ball to the other team.
So hard to see that.
-
Go get a GM. Go get some actual athletes at the 3,4 and 5.
We are definitely heading towards the end of an era. This year or the next few. It was about as good of a run as anyone has ever had. I still think Bill can get one more. But things certainly have to change to make that happen.
Juan was a great guy. KJ was a great guy. I’ll wish them both the best. I wish they had a better ending.
But I’m excited to see some new guys rocking the Crimson and Blue.
-
Well friends thats it the worst year in 42 seasons. I hate the way we lost it, seniors throwing the ball away. I hate that KJ got hurt when we had a 3 point lead. Juando was great for about 7 minutes and completely useless the other minutes he was on the floor. Finished his career 2-3 in NCAA games without having a back up capable of starting like Remy sorry that’s the worst PG in the Self era. Great kid but so glad to never watch him play again. Gonna have nightmares about his turnovers late and unwillingness to push the ball when he had the chance dozens of times.
-
My favorite part of this season?
About 15 minutes ago.
-
I am glad this season is mercifully over. No. Scratch that. I am glad that the Hunter Dickinson era at KU is mercifully over. Now we can move on.
-
Disappointing end. We had it and then we let it slip away. Thanks Srs. Mayo should have been a hawk all along but had a good yr here. Harris and Adams are the end of the championship teams DNA. A new era awaits us
-
We must Keep Flory and gets some guards that ain’t scared to put the ball on the floor
-
I REALLY don’t want either Storr or Rylan back next year , 1 or 2 half ass games does not a Season make- - what a bust of portal wasted
-
Well crud. I don’t think I can watch another game this year.
-
I’m a little bit different, I guess. I will watch a LOT of the Tournament now. Usually (well, in the good ol days) I’d be so dejected when we lost that I was just done. Now I’m relieved and looking forward to watching real basketball.
-
This. We spent an inordinate amount of time handwringing about total dysfunction. Its a relief to have closure.
-
It is his Achilles. His family was w/him in the locker room. Don’t know the full severity of it.

Yea, looked like it.
The way he reacted and went straight to the locker room. Terrible.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 thats awful. We would have won that game with KJ. Sucks to go out like that. Hope KU takes care of him.
-
Small consolation is the dirty slavers are about lose as well to Drake.
-
@approxinfinity agree, the lead and the ball.
-
I think AJ can be successful next year. Not sure about here. I dont get the feeling he wants to be here.
-
I hope AJ comes back and Self can get the best out of him though, if that relationship isnt fractured.
-

AJ wouldn’t have chosen KU on his own. He was pushed here by family because KU made the biggest offer.

Drake 75 Slavers 65 final

KJ-- - -I don’t give a rats ass what anyone else whether it’s here with this room , or in the phog ----- -or ANYWHERE , yes you was limited on the offensive end I get that-- -but there is or was NO ONE & I mean NO ONE that gave the effort you did every time you stepped on the floor, you played with so much heart and grit- - to bad others on the team didn’t have the heart you had. You was on the floor a lot for loose balls- - defending-- just really trying to do your best when we had others that played half ass for over the three quarters of the year.
I will never question your heart and guts and love for this team.-- So KJ from me and possibly only me- - doesn’t matter as far as I’m concerned I have no doubt you always gave it your all- -doing work , dirty work theta others on this team had no desire to do.-- So KJ I say to you - -THANK YOU BUDDY greatly appreciated for your hustle , work , and effort doing what you could do and always giving it 100 %- - I’m glad you was a Jay Hawk.
My prayers-- my wishes for you to have a speedy healthy recovery Bud- – - just remember buddy once a Jay Hawk - - ALWAYS A JAY HAWK- - your family, always have been-- always will be- — Thank you again Buddy- -best of luck ----Rock Chalk

I considered buying tickets to boo them in Wichita but they have 3 Kansas kids on their roster a couple weeks really missed on.
-
@SlimShaddy54 anyone that doesn’t feel terrible for the way it ended for KJ should have their ass whipped especially the ones calling themselves KU fans. KJ gave this place his whole heart and I’d don’t think anyone logical would disagree. I sure as hell wish he was out there at the end. Just as much as I wished he developed into a great player. I’ll miss his dunks and fist pumping. I place a lot of the blame on Self for the position he put him in. That’s a Mitch Lightfoot fan favorite if he was put in the position to succeed at this place. As much as I like guys like him and Juando as people and hope they succeed in lifee, they should’ve never been starters getting primo minutes at Kansas. They aint starting at most power schools right now.
-
The biggest issue I have right now- Tang is 3-3 vs Bill Self and has more NCAAs tournament than Self since he got to Manhattan. Of all the streaks this team destroyed, that is the most unacceptable stat in Kansas basketball history.
-
Travelled all afternoon. Got here to mom and dads and just finished watching. Disappointing finish, LOL.
Factors,
Injury to KJ seems to be when the meltdown doomed our season. Forget the exact game situation but had the ball up three I think. Then started back with the inexplicable turnovers. Those hurt us all game. Really frustrating to see so many experienced guys make such boneheaded plays.
I always complain about refs and when it says Ark 3 with about 3 minutes left I’m pretty pissed because that was a physical game. Haven’t read the chat above so I don’t know if anyone had the same thoughts about refs. I really can’t think of a specific except Zeke getting bumped out of bounds once late it looked like. Not sure refs were a huge factor as much as the ugly turnovers.
Arkansas was very beatable today so it’s a bit frustrating but I’ll get over this one pretty fast since the real regret about this season has been building since we got blitzed by Creighton in mid December and it was just a sign of things to come.
I’ve ‘won’ 3 nattys in my time as a KU fan. Really spoiled as a KU fan and it’s a whole lot better than what most D1 fans go through with their teams. Most can only dream of FFs. So trying to keep a proper perspective on all of this.
I know people have a difference of opinion about this but as much as people will blame Harris and KJ and Dickinson for this disaster of a season I blame the dudes Bill Self recruited to play here that left and would still be here if they appreciated what it means to put on a KU uniform. Grady and Furphy and the St. Johns Dude and the TCU dude and others i don’t really care to even look up their names could’ve been part of a core that might’ve been cutting down the nets this season. I hope Furphy had fun sitting on the bench again tonight in Indy getting zero minutes while on the other side was Jalen Wilson who probably told him you could’ve been playing tonight in the NCAA tournament you greedy fool. I guess Grady’s hurt, whatever, he could’ve been THE MAN this year making 7 figures as a college guy. Whatever. Have fun in the national Boring association. The transfers I understand a bit at least. NYC has some appeal for whoever is at st johns. But TCU? Really? Leave KU for stinking lousy TCU? Why?
All of these guys are the real guys to blame for leaving our cupboard half full this season. The recruiting restrictions hurt too of course. 3 lackluster season finishes in a row have got me even thinking do we need a change? Maybe Self is doing some soul searching and will follow the still viable successful coaches like Jay Wright into retirement. IDK. Not used to this year after year feeling.
-
I’ll list the obviously desperate acts Bill Self miraculously resorted to tonight (finally – and they worked):
– Zone defense. Stupid effer could have done this much earlier in the season to help us out a bit???
– Playing AJ more minutes.
Both worked very well tonight.
Why did he decide to succumb tonight? He has had many chances all year to alter his approach.
-
And Fun With the Box Score!!
Actually, not much stood out to me tonight. Lots of similar stats.
The biggest thing was turnovers: KU 16 – Arkansas 10
One small thing also stood out: AJ Storr got 28 minutes, and produced.
-
@wissox Zuby and Udeh left because they were recruited over with more money thrown at Dickinson. That is related to coaches not assessing appropriately the ceiling that the players have and going after fool’s gold (Dickinson) when you had 2 bigs that would most likely be playing for KU if not for the portal and NIL. The only question is whether Zuby would develop into the player he currently is if he stayed at KU.
-
@patoh3 You might be right. I still can’t fathom leaving KU.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk that’s the saddest part we really won every stat category besides turnovers. The only other thing that stands out to me is Juan 4-11 from the floor and Hunt 4-13. Most of those shots they took were good looks too. Think Hunt had a few bad 3s other than that both guys had shots you have to make in March. Juan had a couple drives that he avoided contact for a circus shot when he likely gets free throws. The only other question to me is why Zeke didn’t get more looks, been begging for an elevator screen type play for him all season 4/5 from distance, the other guys failed getting him the rock. Anyone have the plus/minus for this one?
-
Hate KJ got hurt.
We aren’t talented enough and that’s on the staff. The old Self would’ve recruited over a few of these guys. The new Self just tells us how much they’re winners while we get our tails kicked by any team with some decent talent.
-
I gotta say I’m shocked @kuballin10 isn’t here blowing his cork. Prob too busy helicoptering himself
-
@kjayhawks Coit +6, KJ +3, Shak +1, Storr -1, Bidunga -4, Dickinson -8, Rylan -9, Mayo -10, and Juan -13.

Being real with whom we had this season it’s very true. I’m gonna give self some credit here because idk if a lot coaches get this group to the tournament tho I disagree with a lot of his coaching this season.
Juan- doesn’t start at any other school in the B12
Zeke- a top 10 3 point shooting season in ku history but lacks defense and creating his owe shot.
Rylen- spot up shooter that was too scared to shoot, basically Timberlake 2.0. Wasn’t good without NBA caliber teammates.
KJ- heart breaks he got hurt but he isn’t starting at the 4 at any B12 school.
Hunt- has cement shoes, couldn’t guard a soul and was just too inconsistent. Half of his missed layups are dunks for centers with athletic ability.
Diggy- not a D1 player IMO but at least plays hard.
Flory- just needs strength and experience
AJ- seems to not give a rats ass about anything. Could’ve played his way into a draft pick with his size and athleticism. Same guy that was on/off at Wisconsin and St John. What could have been if Bill didn’t ride Rylan’s coat tails the last 2 months.
Shak-couldn’t stay healthy tho I thought when he as healthy, it was as good or better than Juan
