Self's Scrappers vs The Huggins Sub .500 Game Thread
-
I hope we were thinking ahead to ISU. But not even that would be an excuse for this performance.
-
That’s on self. Did we have a timeout?
-
Started with dedric not being able to get get it to Dotson
-
Look at the scene down on the floor. You can’t tell me West Virginia cares as much about beating other teams as they do Kansas.
No excuses, though. We need to play a lot better.
-
How do we execute that bad down the stretch? Two where Garret tries to take over…DL doesn’t touch it…and then AFTER a time out, we have a shot clock violation………
-
@BeddieKU23 yes

Yep. Makes it even worse. Just awful execution.
-
Refs not to blame for the loss. Self went into his turtle shell the 2nd half.
-
6 Assists. - Bad Ball
Our offense needs help
-
I stayed home from a pinball tournament my buddy is at to watch this game. Shouldn’t have…
-
So we swallow the timeout with 8 seconds. Pathetic
-
Dedric should have gotten a few touches down the stretch.
-
Why did Garrett take so many shots down the stretch? Ridiculous. I’m pretty sure I heard KU had like 3 TO’s left or something.
-
That unused TO bugs me.
-
Watching vick take that shot after fumbling the dribble 3 times is exactly how you lose. Self could have avoided it and didnt
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Every time!!!
-
Down one, you have to take it to the hoop - no excuse for effing around on the perimeter trying to throw up a contested fall away 3…

What an embarrassing loss. That makes 3
This one is different. We should have won that game.
-
Goodness. Grimes gets blown by for the winning bucket. Vick decides not to help with his man on the three line. Up two, I get that. Not up one.
-
The streak might have ended right there friends. I dont think this team us even sweet 16 caliber. Idk what the hell Self drew up outta that last time out but it wasn’t ran and KJ playing big minutes was costly as can be.

And preferably on the block - not at 1/2 court
-
We haven’t gotten better at any of our flaws this season. Besides Garrett, zero growth from this team.
-
This team is so inept at finishing halves and games. It’s astounding.

Hard to imagine playing Grimes when you NEED a stop. That’s on Bill.
-
Not that they were going to get one but that loss ends any 1 seed talk.
-
@Woodrow And we should be out of the top 10!!!
-
Why was Garrett taking so many shots down the stretch?
That’s the biggest thing that bothers me about this one.
-
Vick is lazy and dumb. For a sr guard to have 2 possessions like that is ridiculous. He makes lazy passes for TOs, is lazy on D lazy entry passes to post. Just dumb selfish plays.
-
Can’t really remember a dumber final minute, especially coaching
-
How do you lose a game up by 6 with 2:38 to go? You get outscored 7-0…that’s how… Have to take it to the bucket at the end…but you have better possessions before that…and you don’t need a last second shot. I’m almost sick to my stomach. Very damaging to the streak. Contenders will or already have won in Morgantown.
-
Should’ve called another timeout after Dedric couldnt get it to Dotson. Coaching cost us the win.
-
You jinxed them. But we gave up 5 with out even trying and then shit our pants

Absolutely.

Bingo
-
@Hawk8086 And ISU coming to town.
-
Deflating loss on the road with a young team. Iowa st will eat this team alive monday
-
I can’t point to any one play that cost us. I can see that the entire game was played with no energy, no want to, and turnover abundance. Way to be embarrassed on ESPN BIG KU!!!
-
Felt like roy swallowing he timeouts
-
My money is on ISU Monday no question after this performance.
-
Don’t think I can even find joy rooting against Kentucky now
-
@kjayhawks If we lose Monday kiss the streak bye bye.
-
@Big-Clyde52 I don’t think we lose Monday…but this was a bad loss…really hurts.
-
Oh the streak is over. ISU will drub KU again. Prohm is a good coach.
-
I think we get hammered Monday and limp into the NCAA tournament and get hammered by some mid major first game.
-
I’m over the streak. I just want to see this team improve every game. That includes Self getting better in the 2nd half. He has to be one of the worst coach from minutes 21-38 in the country.

This is where I am at with it too. As anyone besides Garrett improved much over the course of the season?
-
Second game we have blown with 6 point lead under 2 minutes to go.
-
Garrett is attacking the rim. Props there. That makes his lineup presence a positive. Really like what I’ve seen.
It’s a bit sad that we can script something for Dedric.
Heck, Dotson couldn’t even get open to get the ball in his hands.
SDS becoming eligible is perhaps THE key moving forward.
@Kcmatt7 I’ve been over the streak for quit a while … like since it started. We play this game as a blue blood to be a champion. It’s like the Braves winning the NL East. Nice streak. Impressive. One title.
BUT THIS IS FAR FROM OVER ON ALL FRONTS. Lots of season left. Heck, we could win the tourney as a 5 seed.
-
Bill went full on squeak there
-
Self admits he should have called timeout. Cant take it back now
