Short Handed Hawks vs Cincy Game Thread
-
Lol atta boy Nick just about 16 minutes to late -
-
Great career!!! (…at Towson). Lol Fran’s a low key prick.
-
they are actually shooting worse than we are
-
Was Cincinnati thinking it was a time out while Nick hit that shot ? - - Must have cause he made it
-
4 minutes of decent basketball would have won this
-
Not sure why you bring Elmarko here with 20-20 hindsight. Nothing wrong with Juan playing big minutes, thats where i disagree with you @kuballin10 . But Elmarko cant shoot, and Nick has been a headcase.
-
Hang together guys and keep moving the ball.
-
Like someone else said, Why didn’t Bill at least let Jank play some?----Might have made more treys ans as bad as Cincinnati played - -might of just been some different
-
Furphy been so bad recently he might come back
-
Johnny will test but my money is on him coming back
-
@rcjhdraft who wants him now? That’s just BS he’s ready
-
they just look uncoached
terrible
-
Well, we have been spoiled by Bill giving maybe more of a damn than a sane person would have with some of those rosters he won the league with. Look back at some of those rosters. Sure some were loaded but some were THIN. Hes afforded a mulligan this season. But really hope the portal looks much better this year

Elmarko wasn’t brought in with the intentions of starting. He was brought in as a potential OAD who could lead the second unit and potentially play some alongside Harris. The Morris situation more than anything else is what screwed this team over from a composition standpoint.
-
Give Bill a freak shotblocker and glass eating bohemoth. And 2 40% 3 and D guys. That cost 4 mill?
-
broke 50. yay. I guess I’ll try to enjoy our one more game for this train wreck of a season. I doubt we’ll see Kev or Hunter in the big dance.
-
@approxinfinity well got the glass eater back. Doubt we sign a shot blocker but big wings who can score will happen
-
It was really real really.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yeah thats a valid point. But you can only have so many guys that cant shoot. And when you lose one or two of the few that could then you are screwed.
-
Will be an interesting offseason

That’s the point. Losing Morris changed so much about this team. He was an elite level defender on the same level as Harris and McCullar and was the guy on offense that could break a defender down and go get his own shot.
Losing that piece meant that KU was sticking a below average defender and player who needs the ball in his hands to fill that role of off ball guard. This altered KU’s defensive plans because having 4 very good to elite defenders would’ve covered Dickinson’s deficiencies much better and would’ve created much better spacing on offense.
-
Why keep bring up Morris? He shouldn’t have been here.We didn’t lose that POS
-
@DanR said in Short Handed Hawks vs Cincy Game Thread:

I’m not seeing anyone here saying he should still be a part of this team, but his bad decisions off the court are a central part of KU’s issues on the court this season whether you like it or not.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m saying he never should have set foot in Lawrence. It sounds like you are explaining if only he was still on the team, we could have been better… because of his non rapist defense and shot creating skills. If you’re saying the mistake was recruiting him instead of going full on for Harrison Ingram then I agree.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Morris wouldn’t makeup for this mess
Please don’t insult Mccullar by saying juan is on his level
Everyone watched the game and our best player was clearly evident……and it sure as hell wasn’t Juan but yeah gotta replace the4

Can you explain in depth your thoughts on Harris again? I don’t think you’ve explained it well enought the first 1,000,002 times this season.
-
Well I was spared watching the 1st half. Recorded game, accidentally saw the halftime score. Fast forwarded, got a little excited, but pfffffffttttt!! Oh well. Not a surprising result to be honest. I hope the chat wasn’t too harsh. I hope the team knows some good doctors to get Hunt and Kev healthy by next Thursday/Friday! That’s our only hope for winning a few more games.
The conference streak ended a few years back and it was a bit tough to take. But when the day comes that the season ends this week, then the realities of what almost every program goes through will really hit hard.

10 on vacation:
“Hey! How’d it go?” “Good.” “Cool! Do anything fun?” “Don’t want to talk about it.” “Ok… anything not what you expected?” 30 minute tirade about how a waiter (named Juan) brought him a Coors instead of a Bud
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 It is because our multi million dollar coach thinks his d2 athlete pg is the greatest gift to KU pg’s. It is such a befuddling scout that I can’t shut up about it

Can you be a little bit more detailed about Harris please? This 1,000,003 explanation still isn’t clear enough for me.

BREAKING: Juan did 9/11

@Texas-Hawk-10 tbf multi syllable words give him trouble

I call BS on that, he only shot Kennedy.

Wait that can’t be right he can’t shoot
-
“Juan needs players around him and tonight we didn’t have that” - Self just now in postgame. Goes on to list shooting stats of everyone but Juan.
From the other board and 100% true…Juan can’t score “when he wants too” glad @BShark finally can’t argue anymore on this
Bill is a genius but on this player opinion he is 100% wrong and an idiot
-
I just rewatched post game. Coach said that we had 4 starters shoot 8-39. That’s it. Figure it out? Somebody is lying! It’s on espn+, feel free to watch it. Let me know if you can’t figure it out. I hate lying! Can’t trust them ever again. If you do it to belittle someone, it’s even worse.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yep, starters sans KJ were 8-39
-
The positive: Elmarko with potentially the best play of his college career.
The negative: Everything else.
The why award: everything Juan did. Wow.

When Coach brought up Magic Johnson to save him from criticism a few months ago…I knew he was too far gone to save.
-
Hope this offseason all positions are recruited and no position is safe.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I like Juan, he’s a good kid but he is a long shot from best PG not only in the nation but this conference. He was honorable mention for a reason. Not a stat that proves he’s great sorry but he limits us.
-
I love everything Juan has done for KU but 5 years is too much. Imagine Tyshawn Taylor getting a 5th year. It would be more of the same. But he is one of Self’s favorites so he’s not going anywhere.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Comment I referenced was with Hanni postgame which isn’t the media and espn+….I wasn’t lying
@TYOHawk - I just don’t get it. His protection of said player over and over when he’s been atrocious in his senior year and not “scored when he wants to”….is just proving what recruits see that Bill plays favorites.
The 1 is locked in for next year and so is the 4….there will be a reason we miss on big time recruits at those positions yet again……

I’m laughing because you and I know that won’t happen……you guys have watched his career and Self’s protection of him for half a decade and you think just magically Self is gonna recruit a pg to start over Juan….hecckkkkk no.
It will be a “you can start at the 2 next to Juan”…just ask LJ Cryer
