@BeddieKU23 praise jesus they’re healed and can dance again!

@BeddieKU23 Honestly going over the bracket today because I didn’t bother even watching the selection show but man this year maybe the worst the committee has ever done between SEC crap and UNC it’s just not a good look. OU and Texas are laughable you could make a case for 17-16 northwestern over them.

I can’t recall a KU team going 7-8 down the stretch before. My confidence is at an all time low for the tournament. Usually when KU doesn’t have a good team they hustle and give it their all. This squad has never come together and the effort is uneven. Last chance to figure it out. LFG
I’m encouraged there are no injury concerns to the rotation, so we have a full team for once. No excuses for this bunch on Thursday. We’ll probably know early in the game if they play with a sense of urgency or the same will repeat.
Sounds like we could even have Shak Moore available for limited minutes. He also didn’t play in the October meeting and could provide a big boost if he’s able to play 10-12 minutes.
-
SEC is pissed they’ve lost the last two football championships BIG schools so they’ve got to get ships in hoops.
-
Didn’t even factor him in tbh. Before he got re-injured he was impactful and looking back not having him most of the year really hurt them. If they could get 5-10 minutes out of him Thursday that would be great matching up with Arkansas guards.

@stoptheflop You’re forgetting the two former Kentucky coaches matchup that could happen with Cal and Pitino.
Cal trivia Calipari is from Moon Township near Pittsburgh. My dad got stationed there after Korea as an Army draftee. He met my mom at a church there. She was from Mars, PA. So a Mars woman married a Moon man. (true story)
Calipari’s daughter attended the segregation academy called Briarcrest ‘christian’ School in Memphis. This school was made famous by Michael Oher in the Blind Side.
Calipari of course was a part of the dynasty of coaches at KU in the mid 80’s. College/NBA hall of famer Larry Brown had Cal as an assistant. Bill Self came along for 1 year with Brown, and Gregg Popovich then came in as a grad assistant. In this little activity I just learned Popovich is from East Chicago, IN, a town so close to home that I sometimes go on runs from my house into East Chicago. Never knew that part of this whole thing!
Maybe Larry Brown should have a hand in picking KU’s next round of assistants! Wow
-
@dylans seriously.
-
-
People are so shocked to learn about the coaching connections to Kansas. From Rupp, Smith, Miller, Pop, Cal and Self
-
@kjayhawks which Miller?
-
@approxinfinity Ralph, played for KU pre WWII and coached Wichita St., Iowa, and Oregon St.

@approxinfinity he is correct, if I’m not mistaken at one point he had the most wins as a coach in all 3 of their program’s history. Reading some of the stuff I have on Phog Allen he was very upset they let Dick Harp takeover instead of Ralph.
-
Refs ain’t gonna let UNC go home early, already turned it off
-
I just read up a little on Ralph Miller. I guess Bob Gottlieb, Doug’s dad, was an assistant for Ralph Miller at one point.
Back when Ralph Miller was coach at WSU, did KU fans have a more favorable impression of WSU basketball?
-
@approxinfinity I had a favorable impression of WSU for years until Marshall, his mouth and drunk wife got to town.

Looks bad now but I quit watching when it was 18-11 after UNC kept getting cheap fouls called on SDSU all while one of their players had a guy in a choke hold with no call.
-
@approxinfinity KU fans thought very little of WSU basketball - about like emporia st or hays for that matter, just another instate charity case game. Then the a-hole with the drunkard wife took over and they got good; beat KU a couple times. And that was that. Back to a nothing burger.
-
@dylans people forget Roy had a home and home with them in the 90s before we started wanting to go 2 for 1 to avoid a roach infested Koch and they backed out.

The Mountaineers are in. Mt St Marys Mountaineers that is.

They still got 20 minutes to go before they’re in!

KU is the smart money to win it all. Need proof?
-
@Jayblaze Crap. I need to re-fill out my bracket real quickly.
-
@Jayblaze All the proof you need to know that AI technology is not ready for prime-time. It inherits human biases and spits it out uncertainty with certainty.
-
@bskeet That soulless AI created Coke commercial… shudder. It’s like auto tune. Makes me appreciate real artists all the more.
-
Y’all are just hAIters
Is AI ready to stand alone? No. Its a companion tool. And yeah the uncertainty with certainty bit is true and silly.
And I totally get the feeling that for creative stuff it is soulless.
But so is Jon Scheyer.
Is Duke partnered with Microsoft? Maybe Jon Scheyer bot is running Copilot, or Autopilot Beta.
