@Zabudda 39% shooting tonite was not great but was better than 30% for TCU

CS still cares about the league. Look for us to win the next two home games. But not in complete blowouts. This is the only stretch where we can maybe get a lil rest, get a lil healing, get some more bench minutes, and not have to be our absolute best to do it.
Self won’t rest players if the game isn’t a blowout. I’d expect KU to try and build big leads really quickly to try and play some more bench minutes.

Now all we need is for ISU to beat UT tomorrow night.
I think Saturday is the best shot at UT losing one of their next 3 games since it’s in Waco.
If Baylor can get their guards on a roll really good chance

Is Coach K making a guest appearance?

Texas has ISU, @Baylor, @ TCU and us. That a damn rough last 4 games.
Texas has an absolutely brutal closing stretch.
exactly their schedule is brutal -wish I could say I felt bad for them
-
Kenpom has TCU at 49 in adjusted O. I gotta believe that number improves greatly if you remove the Sans Miles games
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 he absolutely will if he believes he can lead manage the team to an eventual win and rest/heal them for a later date. Watch his press conferences. Hes all but said so bluntly more than once

Held Miles and Baugh to a combined 8 for 30. 27% = damn good defense
Dam didn’t realize they shot that poor but that’s awesome - -we didn’t exactly scorch the netts - -Wilson had a really bad night but did a monster job on the boards with 13 so he did contribute.
Nobody shot well for KU tonight.

They simply cannot shoot the 3. Miles included. Huge reason the computers don’t love them
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich they were firing tonight!
-
@Kcmatt7 13 rebounds. 3 assists, 3-11 shooting is not the worst ever. He got hampered by some bogus foul calls and never found any rhythm. I don’t think we win without him tonight.
-
TCU is 353rd in 3pt% out of 363 teams lol.

He says stuff like that every year. He won’t rest them during the regular season unless the games are blowouts. The Big 12 tournament is where Self has historically given players more rest because he couldn’t care less about winning the Big 12 tournament.
-
KU got a little lucky tonight as well because TCU was only 13-21 from the FT line tonight.
-
@wissox sad for him, all those scouts there.
-
Reckon we’ll see. That’s not the context I got from it. And in years past I felt he sounded off caring more about the league race first. Not the impression I’ve gotten here overall
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, but I hate to say it, I never really thought Jalen was going to be a professional even with this years strong showing.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that and at tcu
I think Baylor losing tomorrow helps and then they are fired up not to lose 3 in a row with Texas at home
Tcu lost a tough one in Austin - they matchup well with Texas I could see 2 losses for UT before we play them
-
Gradey has the funky town tshirt on

He absolutely cares about winning the regular season title and in years past has cared about it to the point of being detrimental to player development during the season, including at times this season.

Jalen will get his shot in the NBA. He’s helped his stock enough this year that he could sneak into the late 1st round. Most mocks have him in the 25-35 range. I’ve said even since he signed that I didn’t think he’s athletic enough to stick in the NBA. He’s never been a great defender or shooter (now under 35% from 3 this season) and is a below average athlete for his position. He does get shut down by athletic 4’s he’ll see plenty of in the NBA.
His positives are that he’s not afraid of the moment and has always been willing to take the last shot, he can drive and play through contact, and he’s an above average rebounder. Those are attributes that with the right team and system, could get him 15 mpg in the NBA.
Long term, I don’t see him sticking past his rookie contract before ending up in the G-League and then overseas where I think he’ll have a chance to be a star in a top Euro league like Spain or Greece.

Tough win!
I qualify this game as BAD BALL… really only because we missed out on so much offense. Missed bunnies… our balls stolen and scored on… some poor defensive rebounding.
This definitely wasn’t like the second half of the Baylor game, but in the end… we won! We couldn’t put them away late, so we just shut them down!
We are fortunate that TCU is not a good half-court offensive team, and poor from trey, but we did play with good energy and it was wise for Self to keep Juan on Miles.
This was a game I circled to tell us if we are ready to win out. We are! Not saying we will… but we could and we should!
Nice to hear media talking like KU is capable of repeating. I’ve said it all year.
RCJH!

Starting to have some Fun playing defense. Look out.

U-G-L-Y! But we’ll take it, right?
Anyway, very happy to pick up a road win. that helps, a lot.
That certainly wasn’t pretty for either team. Defense! The perfect Self game?
I never really felt that TCU was a real threat tonight. Wasn’t really sweating it, despite the score.
The challenge was simply being able to make a basket or two. Lid was closed for Jalen tonight. He was even forcing it a lot (offensive charge).
A bit surprising we won if you look at the individual play in the boxscore. If we win, and Jalen only has 7, i sure expect to see Dajuan with 12 or so. not tonight. I guess Kevin came through as our secondary scorer behind Gradey.
I only look at boxscores from KU games, so hard to say how sustainable it will be playing only 6 guys in double digit minutes. TCU played 8 guys in double digit minutes. Do other teams only play just 6 guys, too? Jalen sure didn’t seem himself. Tired?
Way to go Hawks. We’re still in the race for first place! Rock Chalk!

Fran actually talked about this during the game. KU is near the bottom nationally in bench minutes played and TCU is near the top nationally in bench minutes played.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk remember, tv Timeouts in the tournament are longer, bench minutes are mostly useful for foul situations not fatigue.
-
Fran, Mike miles is no comparison to Patrick mahomes! Zero! So stop!

Love this alpha move by Juan:
PG Dajuan Harris with the game ball. TCU took it from Lawrence and posted it on social media & KU was determined to get it back tonight. Asked if getting the win or the ball was better, Harris said, “Both.”

@approxinfinity said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:
Lol that jamie dixon cut out with articulating arms
I thought(hoped) the NCAA had outlawed props behind the basket because we haven’t seen those for awhile. The best was the gorilla at OU. The second best was the person behind the shower curtain that I think was AZ St. But, I think its poor sportsmanship because where do you draw the line? Lazers, etc. KU sure missed FTs at the end that could have cost us the game.

They wrote road kill on the ball too

Ernest Udeh now has the KU record for consecutive field goals made without a miss, multiple games. He’s now at 20 straight FG’s without a miss. He is tied right now for the Big-12 record. Crazy!
-
@BeddieKU23 Wow! I wonder if Fran noticed that?
-
@BShark 100% ok with this level of pettiness.

@BShark

🥰 paybacks

@wissox he would’ve went after him
I would love to see him and kj play one on one in lacrosse!🫣. Oh, and comparing m miles to mahomes, get out of here!
-
@stoptheflop they had that last last year
-
@drgnslayr Curious if you equate any of the above pettiness with the development of a chip? I don’t think it’s exactly the same but seems at least chip adjacent. What do you think?
-
At least we left them with their lunch money…

The picture of Kev is great…lol.
-
Last night was pretty mild for Fran or I was really good at tuning him out. I didn’t see anyone covering this yet but it’s a pretty cool achievement. It gives me a lot of hope that Udeh is going to be a lot like Doke with his efficiency in future years.

@BeddieKU23 aside from “mccullah” insanity, sure. Bless his heart.

I actually heard the “R” a few times last night. First time all year. Not sure why he changed it up midway through this game.

I have no clue.
Thinking about the Chiefs and Kelce… seems like everything bothered them and gave them chip. I think they went looking for drama to help them build a chip. Hey… it worked!
