Joe comes in steal and dunk Back to the bench don’t need you sir we got Juan he’s got the greatest steal I’ve ever seen (let’s ignore he turned it over leading to that opportunity)
-
No magic dang it.
-
@kuballin10 yeah. That was bad. Why even have Juan in the game last possession. We need a handler that can score there.
-
-5 from the line, -8 on TO’s. Hard to win that way

So frustrating!
-
@FarmerJayhawk also gave up 14 ORB… trifecta
-
Missed 5 down the stretch.
-
@approxinfinity He was hero against isu yet self has said he can’t beat his man off the dribble to the media lol
Then trots him out there to play pg and most minutes for ku
Bill gets what he deserves this game and all the others that he’s completely put a ceiling on this team
If Harris can play point Joe sure as hell can at KU
-
The biggest choke is the officials that must be choking on their whistles.
-
Didn’t take care of the ball. Missed FT. Miracle garbage banked in three. Ballgame.

Shot 62%…you should win that when they shoot 42%
Need TO splits with two guards vs not

@tis4tim when he made that scroll up I said it isn’t our night

Dude at this rate you’re gonna tear your rotator cuff patting yourself on the back
-
Ochai lob pass off the rim and FT’s down the stretch were a bigger issue than Dejuan’s play. The Ochai lob puts that game away if it’s a good pass.
Also, Courtney Ramey did a helluva job defending Ochai all night.
-
Really not that frustrating of a loss. Almost a predictable road letdown after Saturday. Feels like we beat that UT team 8/10 times on a neutral court.

Don’t try and blame the refs. They were letting both teams play tonight
-
If that game is called like a normal basketball game we win by 15-20 because they foul out 3 with 7 minutes left in the game and we shoot about 10 more free throws.
-
From 12:35 second half to 6:38 looking at play by play we controlled second half
Wilson comes in for you know who and check those possessions
They over helped on Och said he won’t beat us
Man handled Dave (thanks refs)
Let Harris dribble for days
Ball stuck with him but I’m sure he was the player of the game
-
Bla bla bla bla
-
@FarmerJayhawk did that once in the minors…it sucked
-
@kuballin10 just looking out for u
-
I’m a little disturbed we couldn’t execute for about 6 straight possessions. But it was the 12th round.
-
Yes they let both teams assault about equally.
I don’t like that kind of basketball.
Reminds me of a really shitty regional final I saw I think it was Pitt vs Memphis. That game was in the 50s. These teams deserve better.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 highlighting a 2-3 play stretch and ignoring the last 5-6 minutes is like saying
The chiefs lost to the bills initially because the offense turned it over ignoring the fact dirty dan was atrocious leading to the other teams points
Harris hit two 3’s…that was it. Was completely dominated on both ends from tip to double 00’s
-

You may not like that style of basketball, but don’t try and blame the refs when they call it the same for both teams. The refs did not cost KU this game. Maybe if Braun or Wilson had made a free throw down the stretch, KU wins.
-
@FarmerJayhawk nah u being divisive but it’s okay true story though it sucked
I know I wasn’t the only one because I got two texts saying the same thing
Whenever a shot like that happens last 2-3 minutes that team wins 90% of the time

We get it, you hate Harris as a player and have a hard on for Yesufu, but he’s not the one who cost KU the game.
-
@kuballin10 Also, Harris is not who let Texas get 15 offensive rebounds tonight or take 19 more FG attempts than KU.
-
Also, this game is not an isolated event. This seems to be the way the B12 crews are calling things. The tech game that we lost was similar. The KState game we won was similar. And non KU games are being called this way too.
It is not the way the other conferences are officiated.
-
@kuballin10 nah I’m good. Same thing I said to a buddy. Just don’t want you to hurt yourself!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 nah it’s Self’s blindness that is asinine
You’re a coach if you can defend 5 on 4 and then on offense tell your players “go right at 3”…what does that tell you about said player?
Flip minutes with Joe we win
He had 1 steal the same 8 pts on 3-4 shooting wish he’d shot Harris 7 times and then multiple defensive plays causing misses
-
Shot 58% but missed too many freebies 15/23 especially down the stretch. Och with only 11 points
-
Oh well. Goodnight guys.
-
Texas plays tough D. Much tougher under this coach than their last couple. With this coach and this school’s resources, they are going to be tough for years to come.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 he sure didn’t box bishop out the way Joe did (Harris didn’t get the board as u know) in his minutes as i in game pointed out to DanR
Yes, farmer feel free to pat me on the back for that one
It’s easy to see what I don’t get is William and his staff are so committed to a nice kid who has massive limitations and changes the way good athletic teams guard us yet we continue.
I’m tired of the we were so close a few plays go our way (yeah let’s be the Alex smith chiefs everything needs to go right agains the 20th ranked team for us to win). U got a D1 athlete on the bench who’s impacting games but is being limited it’s a massive mistake
-
We have to figure out how to stop athletes in the mid range.
Timmy went for 24 without taking a 3. Brooks for UK did the same.
You also have to find a secondary scorer if Och is going to get face guarded. There has to at least be a counter punch to that.
We have to find a way to stop big men with a double team that Mitch and KJ can’t guard. Williams and now Mitchell abused us.
Honestly as long as we learn from these things, this will be good in the long run.
-
@approxinfinity I’m not we go through spurts but especially against teams that don’t guard our handles the ball the most pg. they dared him to shoot snd drive
It was like us against unc in elite 8 St. Louis
-
People drunk posting?
-
That’s on Wilson And Braun defensively not good and Allen better athlete
Dave isn’t a legit ku standard big so he’s gonna get dominated on D but that guy was a beast tonight scoring and rebounding and on 1 leg… tip of the cap
If u don’t have the horses athletically in those spots it shows gotta play them elsewhere
-
@kuballin10 not ready to take this to a physical place yet sorry. Gotta at least buy me a lobster dinner for that
-
@kuballin10 Keep blaming Harris for KU being -2 in rebounds, -9 in in offensive rebounds, -5 in FT’s made, and -8 in turnovers.
And no, I’m not convinced Yesufu was the difference in the game, but since you’re clearly the smartest guy here, of course you couldn’t possibly be wrong about anything because you’ve clearly never been wrong about anything in your life so of course KU would’ve won by 30 had Yesufu played the whole game instead of Harris.
-
@tundrahok … someone else’s problem
-
@FarmerJayhawk lol filet and lobster…you me and Self who can buy as i school him on how to play the best players, raise the ceiling of the team, give proper leashes from the start and leverage the talent you have versus choosing to attach your horse to guys who will never win a title playing big minutes
You set that up any time or place I’ll be there. Heck I’ll even bring a current nba player if you legit set it up…we can take a picture for proof
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 nah 29 at best
He’d been 7-10 with 4 threes…6-7 assists…4 steals and 18 points had he started all year
Nah I’ve been wrong ask @benshawks08 i admitted it on our big 12 finish I had us 3-5th based on early review of play and other teams
Just this you’re right I’m not wrong on and would pay a decent amount to have an honest conversation with William on what he sees, how and why. I’d walk away convinced Harris is the guy because Bill’s smart but still want to see how he doesn’t give the same opportunity

I’ll give you the answer right now. Go look at some advanced metrics because Yesufu has not been good on offense this year at all. Harris has been quite a bit better in advanced numbers than Yesufu. A PER that’s sub 5 is flat out terrible and that’s where Yesufu is at in conference play.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that’s worthless he didn’t even play
Pull from ISU forward and feel free to share the screenshots
Also you are a coach and watch it’s not difficult to see.
Selfs one mistake and you’re out to bench players only hurts their play. He doesn’t let them early on learn through mistakes in game which is the best way to learn light years better than practice. Of course Juan looked better he’s smart had 1 year in the system knew what to expect for Joe it was all new. Coaches job is to get the most out of your talent not cripple it.
In 15 minutes Joe equaled his scoring, kept the proper spacing because they actually guarded him and we both know wouldn’t have been beaten off the dribble 8 times like Harris was tonight.
-
From yours truly the phog - We don’t have a PG and we constantly turn it over yet you don’t want to admit the number of turnovers are because players have to create their own shots since our PG can’t distribute or create. In Self’s tenure he’s only better than Tharpe. That’s bad
Let me know Joe’s strengths again. Volume shooter oh you don’t think Self can’t reign that in? Check Remy’s numbers asu vs KU and get back to me…
Joe can do everything Harris can do but better and it ain’t even mother effin close
-
Wow. Flying in late here as usual, but very pissed off at that totally irresponsible loss. No question that should have been a win. not an easy win, but a win. Value the ball and possession a few more times and we fly home happy. The end of the first half was an absolute joke. Unforced errors and boneheaded play. incredible.
Texas was amazing the way they guarded and minimized Och. Well played to blanket him and pretty much blanket the 3 pt line. smart D. And boy are we good at making guys All Americans for a night…eff.
-
An internet reminder: The ignore button is your friend.
-
All down to execution. Missed free throws, fumbling the ball without a shot, an off target lob play. All those plays are plays KU can make. They didn’t and that was the difference
