Watching world cup instead, hopefully KU plays better than the last time out.

@BeddieKU23 Self didn’t say if he passed those stones or what. Hopefully he did. Wouldn’t want to have surgery so far from home.
like I said - -even if he doesn’t pass on his own , it’s not that big of thing anymore - -go in for lithotripsy and out the same day. - -within a day you wouldn’t even know you had them
-
Coach Self had an interview that was played on one of the tournaments today - -think it was the Maui , anyways he was talking about how he didn’t like not being able to Coach the 1st 4 games but understood.
Paid Grady the ultimate compliment. - -Saying Grady is the best shooter he has EVER been around , that’s saying something. -Also talked about how he liked the team and said we had a couple of guys that could get on a roll and carry KU a long ways. - -Then Seth said that Grady is one of the best hardest cutters in the game he has ever seen , how Grady is able to read Screens.
Coach said actually Grady haad already saved KU in two games this year. - -Enjoy him while we got him guys , he not gonna be here long
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’ll provide an expert scouting report on how to beat the Badgers if it comes to that.
-
@kuballin10 Thanks, I admit it, I am really nice.
-
Humility is my problem.
-
@wissox lol! Pride (I know you said humility but similar in my mind) is the root of many issues (sin) as you know based on your daily Bible readings if I can recall correctly.
-
@kuballin10 yes pride goeth before destruction, and in my golf game par goeth before destruction. They go together. Tomorrow mornings Bible study will commence at 8

Ha golf now you’re speaking my language there!
Deal I’ll be there! Lol

@kuballin10 You play much? I wish I could play more but I don’t live near courses I like. the only close course is called Lost Marsh, but I call it Lost Balls. I can lose more money there in golf balls than a gambling addict in Vegas playing the tables.
-
@wissox I try to play once every week or two weeks in the summers. I have two small kids and a wife who actually likes me (I am not negative around her like I am on this board lol) so they are more important than my golf game. I was scratch in high school and college but now probably a 3-4.
I am going to plug a company I’d recommend if you struggle with the game try this method (I’ve tried literally everything from when I was 14 until now and I’m in my 30’s)……Graves Golf. They teach a one plane moe Norman golf swing. It will save you years on your back and biomechanically (how the body should naturally hit a ball with a stick) is the best and easiest way to repeat a swing.
Don’t try to swing like Tiger or Rory or whoever those guys have God given gifts we were not blessed with.
-
@kuballin10 Thanks, the biggest impediment to my golf game is just I can’t play more than about 10 times a season. It’s ok, although I love playing it’s just not high priority enough to go to ranges and all that to try to learn a swing.
-
@wissox understandable
These guys are actual teachers so they have indoor training you can do before even playing.
They took a guy who was not good and helped him win a state amateur because he committed to doing their indoor drills in the winter
Go to Todd graves golf YouTube and watch his stuff it’s all free. You’d be surprised with little practice you could pick it up easier.
I get not having time though to learn a swing this one those is by far the easiest out there
-
Self’s presser from the Bahamas. Hits home!
"The first two games were actually okay, the Duke & Southern Utah ugh I didn’t feel quite as comfortable watching from the living-room as I did the first two but the guys did fine, and certainly we have a long ways to go before becoming a really good team. I think me stepping away at least in that moment in time maybe a positive for us because I could see it from a little bit different perspective.
I know I saw it from a fans perspective and I know why Fans are so crazy because they have absolutely no control on what’s going on. At least as a coach you think you got a little bit even though you don’t have much and so um I liked it better when I had a little control."
Billy Eugene, never leave.

I really miss Remy Martin. Later in the season when he would enter the game, I enjoyed the energy he brought into the game both on offense and defense. I wish him all the best going forward and thank him for his considerable contributions to our National Championship.
-
Self mentioned NC St has shot 35 3’s on avg so far this season. Also thinks outside of Texas their backcourt is the most explosive we’ll face all season. I hope neither of those things materialize to be anything
-
@BeddieKU23 If they get hot we will lose. If we don’t run them off the line it will be a long afternoon.
We’ve been close to losing to so bad teams so I won’t be surprised with the outcome today.
Offensively we are abysmal.

They are not good.
It is a neutral game so anything can happen. Jalen shows up with his usual game and KU wins. He gets help and this could be an easy one
-
@Jethro anything can happen!
What’s your thoughts on it today?
-
Another thing to note.
That ballroom they play in leads to poor outside shooting a lot of the time.
Wonder if that will impact both teams today
-

Paying for wifi?
-
@BeddieKU23 I hope you are right!
The same way I was frustrated (and still am with Juan’s scoring) I can feel it shift to Kevin. Seeing Baylor Schierman, Hunter, Ricky council and Ramey all lighting it up this year sucks with regards to what we have.
Kevin’s defense is great but offensively we need that second/third scorer next to Jalen (since Gradey goes stretches without getting a touch or shot up).
Having a Hunter or Ramey would have been awesome - another ball handler that can flat out score.
Council is a 6-6 Ochai (no, not as good though) who can shoot, drive and catch lobs.
Baylor is your standard 6-6 not great defensively but makes up for it offensively kind of guy.
All that and we got in my opinion say the 4th out of 5 guys if you’d ranked them
-
I’m not dissatisfied or surprised by Juan’s 9 pts per game average. On offense his strengths are ball handling, setting up the offense and getting assists. Do we need a third penetrating guard after Jalon and Gradey? I hope Kevin will settle in and increase his points; I think that’s going to happen soon. And then, we all know the 5 spot is our mystery position. We’ll just have to wait and see who finally emerges as our best option at the 5. That will depend on which player gives us the best advantage on defense and then whether the same player helps on offense. Oh, this is going to be fun.

I think your analysis was more wishful thinking than reality. NC State has some firepower with Joiner, and Smith can shoot them in and out of games. But they don’t play any defense, they can’t run outside of 2 players, and they’re sloppy with the ball. And their center looks like his health will be at risk if he tries to keep up with us. Vegas line opened at KU - 8.5, and the line has moved to -9. Bill steps in for the first time this year, so I imagine we’ll see a pretty intense effort on our part- not the sleepwalk we witnessed against Southern Utah that has you so concerned.
-
@BeddieKU23 I doubt it. $10 is kinda steep. I do have the game recorded so I can watch when I land if it’s worth watching.
Also I’m contractually obligated as a UNC student to say state bloooows. Worst fans I’ve ever been around were in Raleigh.
-
Let’s go boys
-
Boom!
-
Gardey is going to red and black shoes. Hopefully, the nasty pink ones are retired…lol.
-
HCBS has returned
-
Is he going to wear his glasses?
-
Slow start
-
Awful
-
Kevin nice take but you actually have to finish a layup dude
-
Kj got all our points what an athlete
-
Everyone other than KJ needs to practice lay-ups
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich the offense looks like it should against actual D1 athletes. We can’t score and our best shooter is yet to take a shot.
Playing a good team we should be down 8-10 already
@Jethro these will be our starts most times unless Jalen is hot

NC State is playing good defense, but we’ve also missed a few lay-ups and close jump shots. If we make those it frees up Gradey
-
McCullar looks like the version that we don’t want
-
We can’t run pick and roll against the most unathletic big I’ve ever seen
-
State avgs 89 pts so we need more Groovy 3’s.
-
@BeddieKU23 he should be in the doghouse but all Bill sees is 1 side of the floor
-
Yessss!!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich bill had to call set plays just to get him a shot
He needs to hunt his shot and attack
-
Bobby and Juan means it’s the Wilson and Gradey show
-
Bill gonna see Dick as bad D instead of what he’s done…come on William
-
JWill what a great basket.
