Self just said if Graham doesn’t win Big12 POTY they are giving him a trophy anyway.
He should be. He’s a champion and true team player who willed his team to the title. What has Deuce Young won?
-
Unbelievable accomplishment. Just a baller all around effort today

This had to be so tough for them to swallow too. Gray goes down early, Keenan Evans still clearly not right etc…
-
Interesting stats: TT had 15 offensive rebs to our 7, but we tied them in 2nd chance pts at 10.
Also, the announcers kept saying Newman had 4 fouls but the box score shows 3. I wondered about Self playing him with 10 mins left with 4 fouls…

@BShark Thanks for the image; it’s my new desktop image. RCJH

Graham absolutely willed this team to victory in the second half today. Really didn’t think this would happen about a month ago.

Locker Room Celebration!!

@Texas-Hawk-10 the change of team demeanor and spirit is surprising. Looking much tougher now.
-
-
Bill, in the after game interview, also said that he thinks Devonte “helped his stock”…as an NBA prospect.
-
Graham locked conference POY with this performance!
-
@Statmachine for those saying we will have the most dominant team under Self… How much will we miss Devonte? Hard to believe in a team, however talented, until the freshman PG has proven himself at Kansas.
-
Congratulations to all Jayhawks that are a part of the 14 year streak! To the board that wanted the streak over the NC glad you got what you wanted, come back from time to time to see what else this season brings! RCJHK!

That was from this article by Titus in January which is

What an unbelievable and outstanding accomplishment. Great job players and Coach Self!!

“Bu… bu… bu… but… the field?” says Seth Greenberg.
-
Congrats. I guess some here’s season is complete, they got the 14th. NC’s don’t matter now, right because this record is uniquely ours.
-
Don’t get me wrong, great accomplishment, especially considering they looked kind of dead and out of it 3 weeks ago.
-
I do now believe this team has a possibility of winning the NC this year. Mostly because it’s about as crazy a year all around as I can recall. I won’t say a probability… But yes a possibility. Anything can happen right now. But we’re better than we were 3 weeks ago and chance favors the prepared.
-
@cragarhawk Exactly right … anything can happen. Anything. Who would even suggest we can’t win the national title? This team can beat anyone.
Now, we can stub our toe easily, too. But we know that.
-
I honestly have no idea why someone would say that this team is not winning a title, that it has “no chance”. What?!?! Right, just like south Carolina last year, Syracuse in 2016, and Butler in 2010 and 2011 had “no chance” to get to the final four. It seems like some people have no concept of how random the tournament can be. Just ridiculous.
-
I feel like we need to give DeSousa some court time until the NCAA tourney. I mean we should probably use him right? Or are we afraid he’ll get scouted? Do we keep him as a secret weapon to be unleashed at the right time?
-
I know I got to see our team on ESPN today, but really, this network is the worst. Just look there. Main sports page, scroll down looking for KU story, and there it is, Trae Young ‘erupting’ for 28 points against KState. No big loud headline for our accomplishment. SMH.
-
@betterfireE I would, to be honest if we win Monday, I’d start him a week from today. Just to see how he handles it. I’d play Sam and Mitch as much as I could get away it as well. I know Self probably won’t and has already said they would play to win in that position regardless but I think we can still win and give those guys some more minutes personally.

This from article in SI from Chris Johnson
“On Saturday, Kansas wasn’t just playing a game with major consequences for this season. It was playing for history. The win ensured the Jayhawks will set a record that doesn’t feel within the grasp of any other high-major program in the near future”
-
@betterfireE Self isn’t going to play Silvio in a tight game unless his hand is forced imo.
-
@HawkChamp couldn’t agree more. Is this a vintage KU team? No. But does it need to be to get to the Final 4? Absolutely not. Two mediocre UCONN teams come to mind who not only made the Final 4 but won the National Title! This KU team is superior to either of those squads. The tourney is often crazy and rarely do the best 4 teams make the Final 4. I can’t wait to see our guys out there in March. Sky is the limit.
-
THIS is really well done. Sums it up nicely.
BAD BOYS, BAD BOYS. WHATCA GONNA DO? WHATCA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME 4 YOU? BAD BOYS, BAD BOYS

This from article from Fox Sports LAST YEAR when we tied UCLA at 13
“…Winning 13 straight regular-season championships in what’s been one of the toughest conferences in college basketball is a feat separate from national championships, Final Fours or Sweet 16s. It’s a validation of the steadiness, coolness and dominance of the best college basketball team of its era and one of the best runs the sport has ever seen.”
Now it’s 14… and I wonder, due To the recently released allegations in which Kansas was also named, if this singular incredible feat will not be ballyhooed much.
But WE here know how historic this this. We know.
-
Congrats to a player I’ve ragged on this year for his lack of scoring threat for his Sports Center Top 10 dunk! Here’s to more of that in March!
-
Here’s one take: http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2018/02/24/no-8-kansas-clinches-14th-straight-big-12-regular-season-championship-with-win-at-no-6-texas-tech/
Spoiler: Last line:
“This may very well be the best coaching performance of Bill Self’s career.”
-
@drgnslayr don’t bring that guy up! He fires me up! Does he ever respect us?
-
Well, I said after the Tech home loss that if Self could win with this bunch, he is the best regular season coach in history. Bill Self is the best regular season coach in NCAA basketball history! Now let’s start start expanding that to simply The Best!

I don’t think hardly any of us that wanted this record don’t want a NC, either. I want to win Monday too so we don’t have to share. Kinda t’s me off you think that way!

their fans are convinced our guys won because of the “refs” and all sorts of excuses. Haters gonna hate.

Some more media love coming our way…
