Somehow we dropped to 4th Kenpom tonight on O, after putting up 70 without Och, on the road, against a top 10 D. The loss to UK didn’t even do that lol
Wait I’ve been told kenpom knows all and the algorithms are the holy grail

For getting mad at people for straw manning you do it to me all the time. Well done on the commitment to the bit

And that’s just guys that got any kind of NBA check. Russ Rob def a pro too.

Enanura started, but only played 8 minutes and scored 2 pts, with 0 rebounds and 1 turnover. I always liked him and wanted him to do well. Seemed like he had great potential. But maybe his transfer wasn’t such a loss for us. Like others, I thought he might blossom elsewhere, but maybe it wasn’t all Self’s fault for not giving him a longer leash.
-
@Kcmatt7 I did some checking. 19 players saw the floor. 17 had careers in professional basketball.
-
@tundrahok I was sad to see him go. I think Self does great with wings (see CB/Och/Wigs/Rush/BMac/Releford/Oubre/Henry) and that’s why I think he would have done well here in the end.
But JCL was an upgrade for this year, no doubt
-
Staff wanted Tristan back he was not booted. Just to put that on the record if it hasn’t been already.
He is basically the same player now in year 3. Just plays a bit more and somewhat more efficient. Counting stats still aren’t great because he isn’t always engaged as we know.

Could you put together a team that made the NBA playoffs?
- PG: Chalmers
- SG: Brewer
- SF: Rush
- PF: Noah
- C: Horford
Bench
- Speights
- Green
- Arthur
Need some guards, but holy smokes.

Yeah Bill you have to play Joe more
I’m ready for Remy to go home due to a family emergency
At the very least Joe has to be ahead of Bobby now. Remy won’t be back anytime soon.
Ah would you look at that

Self when asked about Yesufu: “I thought he was great. Maybe I’ve been playing some of the wrong guys. I mean, I’ll be honest. That’s the Joseph we thought we would have, and I do think he can be instant offense.”

Just admit you effed up Self and your biggest weakness is playing the right guys since 2004

@Kcmatt7 Puff, puff, pass…

aHEM… lighten up, Francis- we beat a ranked team on the road without our best player. Maybe you should wait until we lose again.

I see what you did there. The thought crossed my mind too.

@Jethro Francis let’s roll with it Huge win - best defensive game we’ve played all year…wonder why that was?
It’s frustrating coach has to get lineups right and play the right guys. That’s what he’s paid to do and is a hall of famer. He’s messed it up back to HEM days and well before that.
Just frustrated because it stunts our growth and we are trying to “figure it out” each February.
When the coach admits maybe I was playing the wrong guys that’s pathetic.
Can you fathom is Kerr, Saban or Reid actually said that?
You can be happy for the win but his job is to play the right guys and have the team at the best it can be. This game revealed what many talk about.
Positives and negatives…dont worry I’m grinning ear to ear from just crushing the cyclones dreams for 2022 but doesn’t mean it removes the big picture and massive coaching failure (yes, you can be 18-3 but if you ask yourself am I playing the right players at that point…well I don’t need to explain).
Big picture is crucial
-
@kuballin10 So you say he’s playing the wrong guys. He says maybe he’s been playing the wrong guys. And now him saying that is a problem?
-
Bill acknowledging it = growth if Joe continues to play as 6th man off the bench
Bill taking until Feb 1 to figure out who he should have been playing = failure
-
Well well well! Victory in Ames! I’ll take it. moving on. nothing to see here…

Self with some comedy!
On McCormack’s rebounding…
“David was a presence tonight. Yeah, he was a presence. I told him he needed to get 20 and 10. And what did he get? 14 and 14 and didn’t miss a shot. So we’ll take that. And he made two beautiful passes in the first half. One to an official, it almost knocked the official down. And the other one to somebody sitting in the second row. So he did it all tonight.”

Today’s quiz: what did we learn last night?
I’ll start us off… — Yesufu is quick and can be tenacious. Focus on the simpler things and find success?
-
@BeddieKU23 Self has a very likeable dry sense of humor if you ever spend just minimal time with him away from the court he’s funny
-
@Jethro Francis was wrong I had us what 4th/5th at best
Baylor Tech Isu/Texas Us
But I will add had Joe played all year who knows might have 1-2 less losses
-
You know like I always do , checking out the others teams fans message boards before and or after for tid bits. Got to say kind of nice for a change to be able to go to the fore mentioned board and not see anyone trying to come up with excuses as to why they got beat except the real reason they got beat. - -Just a couple of posters on about the refs ( are you kidding me ) but yet in general was good not a lot of sniffling talking about being robbed or how KU buys the refs off - -nice for a change

@jayballer67 we haven’t been getting the Kansas whistle this year. That’s for sure. You’d think we were the ones bring for a new conference.
