there’s a “short bench” and there’s no bench
-
someone with access to stats should compare our season bench points over the past 30 years. I’m going to say this is the least by far.
-
No Parker
-
Guards that can easily get into the paint and draw contact - if only…
-
Is Hunter actually hurt? Just watching in spurts here

You could see that he has a separated shoulder…
-
I’m going to have to turn off the sound.
-
What a nightmare
-
@DCHawker he’s done for the year then
-
Can’t wait for Flory!!!
-
Wow. KU is really bad without Harris. Not that they were good at any point tonight, but the Harris-less lineup is horrendous
-
Jamari and elmarkos time is over soon. Self is gonna have to figure out recruiting

Harris wasn’t very good either
-
@rcjhdraft I’d you don’t see it you don’t see it. Not gonna argue.
-
And Zach will have to be much improved before he sees any playing time

He’s usually good but I’m not gonna single him out as some shining positive when the whole team played like they were scared
-
We might not score the rest of the game…
-
What is the lowest number points we have scored in a game?
-
Good hustle
-
EJ
-
Malik?
-
Wilhite might be getting minutes next week
-
So moving forward we may not have Hunter or Kevin…… we are done no questions
-
See you guys next week. Don’t be angry. We are spoiled and only want the guys to try.
Some days yeah. Some days nahh. #RockChalk
-
Welp, I’m spoiled because I haven’t been in a mood like this at the end of the conference season for a couple decades.

might be the best thing that could happen for us, the way they played. -You can’t make up any excuses when you get boat raced like w have today. can’t say the refs cost us the game of a basket here or baket there - there ae NO EXUSES
-
Just wish we’d gotten a few more FF appearances and Natl Championships when we were racking up all of those conference championships. We got jobbed in the tournament so many of those years.
-
Bright side: they didn’t sweep us!
-
They got starters in
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Cougar chat:

yep. Cause the lead is only 31 with a 1:31 left
-
We are giving Houston some great memories for their Senior Day. Just trying to put a positive spin on things. Not fun at our expense, but if the shoe is on the other foot, we would be eating it up just like they are.
-
Congrats to Houston they were told they would get spanked into conference and they shut everyone up. They are looking like the new big dog in this league. They could return every player on this roster. If that happens we have no chance to win it next season.
-
@kjayhawks I don’t want to give up on next season before this one is done.
This season is enough to crap on.
We don’t know what’s going to happen between now and then.
-
Sports writers have to go back to the history books and do a lot of research after this game and this season. When was the last time we scored less than 50 in a game? Last time we lost by 30? Etc. etc.
-
@bskeet prob true I’ve said it a few times and I’ll say it again. I have never been this down on KU basketball. Idk if it gets better with Juan and Hunt coming back.
-
It’s really hard to wrap your head around for a team to look so different from home to on the road
-
Make it even sadder, this team was a preseason national title favorite
-
@bskeet they weren’t great when we beat the crap out of them a few weeks ago.
-
@rcjhdraft If the pg is still here we will have another 6-8 losses and sweet 16 loss at best
-
@RockChalkinTexas Keep waiting because he won’t pickup the D or O quick enough for Self’s standards and play 5-8 Braun minutes off the bench
-
@bskeet Nah Bill had the teams tighter than a nut…tough to perform
-
@kuballin10 Maybe that had something to it. But I don’t fully buy it. The seedings were a bit too coincidentally kryptonite matchups. Northern Iowa, Stanford, etc.
-
@dylans Let me know what u “saw” in that 2022 title run
This team u are seeing this year is Sr Juan running the pg leading the team
To 8 losses and the lowest big 12 finish in 30-40 years
But sure keep riding him cause Bill says he’s the best true pg in the nation
Give me Collins, Mason, Graham, Taylor, Hinrich any day over this passive d2 athleticism and scared to shoot the 3.
Oh but if you surround him with studs he’s great WRONG!!!
He has an all American 5 man and 3 man and he’s still trash
️The 2022 run would have ended to creighton if not for 1 guy playing the big pg minutes….or providence ….or unc.
Comically bad
-
@bskeet listing those two unranked teams as a kryptonite is funny and shows plenty about Bill Self tourney teams
I get losing to Wright’s Nova teams as kryptonite but don’t list that crap. Even if we get by those teams we aint winning it all
-
@kjayhawks Shall we say the league level’d up and KU didn’t….ouch
-
Wright’s teams were legit good and fairly well rounded.
I list those teams as examples because they had the specific characteristics we had struggled with all year… and they promptly lost the next game. They were only good as a spoiler.
-
Yep clearly the guy with the 6th most tournament wins all time can’t coach in that very tournament
-
@kuballin10 said in Cougar chat:

I think this is very possible and the sting could be reduced in three weeks if there are 3 or 4 B12 teams in the elite 8.
-
@kjayhawks Same and I lean solely on the pg because Bill raves about him and doesn’t even look to replace him.
KJ goes hard 100% and I can’t say that about Juan.
If there’s a chance a guy doesn’t start it’s KJ and he’d be a good sport off the bench……
But somehow our d2 pg is just irreplaceable……get what u deserve William
-
@bskeet I think the B12 has a great chance to get multiple teams to the final four. I just wished we was one of them.
