The Other Bruce Game Thread
-
Yep. Last 3 seasons end in blowouts
-
I don’t want to hear Self’s stupid comments. Just let them have fun and shut the hell up. The game is over. In fact, put in the walk ons and the trainers. Hell, at least they have heart.
-
Blowouts are easier to deal with at least
-
At least it wasn’t an early game; I’d hate for my whole day to be ruined.
-
Nah. I’d rather get beat with at least a decent effort
-
I’m ready for a reset of the program, maybe even a new coach after the NCAA body slams us. I think that makes this twice as maddening, last years run likely doesnt count.
-
I don’t get the “this team has no heart” thing going on lol. That isn’t the problem folks.
-
@Kcmatt7 more of a complete lack of athleticism.
-
What are u talking about it happened
-
Oh it’s definitely part of it. They quit on a lot of plays. We can say it doesn’t happen. But it does. May as well say it

I miss having a tree in the middle.

Wonder if Vick is watching this
No, no … Vick is tending to very important personal matters.

And shooting. And experience. And true size.
What did we expect from a team starting a guy who was redshirting until midseason?
If this core stays 4 years, they could be something special.

watching opposing guards repeatedly drive right down the paint with people waving 5 feet away is maddening.
-
Come on Auburn, screw up my bracket! Everyone else did…
-
I blame New Mexico State for not hitting their free throws.
-
I don’t know that the team is quitting. Auburn just looks better and they’re making shots. Dedric is the only one that looks like he may have given up. Devon is trying, Grimes is trying, DMac and Mitch are trying. Garrett looks dead but he’s at least giving it a go. Ochai looks afraid of his own shadow.
-
Atleast we didn’t have to lose to a double digits seed again
-
What we haven’t mentioned is how absolutely weak Dedric has looked.
-
This is on @jaybate-1-0. He abandoned us and the season went to pot.
-
1/2 the family has gone on to bed.
-
Hell, we can’t .even beat a football school. So much for the B12 this year. Let’s hope TT can maintain some B12 relevance, KU sure as hell decided not to represent.
I have TT in the F4.
-
I particularly enjoy watching big mouth Barkley spouting off about Auburn. Aren’t people in his position supposed to be somewhat neutral?
-
HALFTIME

Despite the circumstance, I think it’s been entertaining. Better than guys trying to hide a bias that’s very obvious.
-
They have more 3s then we have field goals
-
Dave is the only Jayhawk to have made 2 field goals.
-
And Barkley is a great guy.
-
They probably have more points than we will score
-
@HighEliteMajor tonight he’s a Richard Noggin
-
I guess I wouldn’t say I’m surprised. I did pick this in all my brackets. We have been average this season. But its frustrating because we dont win when we are supposed to and dont we aren’t. We have had the talent for 5 or 6 NCs and pissed away.
-
Barkeley is just really slow and dumb… Almost like he’s really high or something. Whenever I listen to him I feel like I just got a contact buzz

There was a long stretch in which Self-coached teams were fast, athletic, and very good defensively. Like for a long time we were always in the top 10 defensively. Can we get back to that?
-
I’m rapidly moving through the stages of grief. (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance)
I have to remind myself that Grimes is a freshman. Just a regular 4-year kind of freshman. Good kid. only 18. Chuck just does what he does, and that’s all we can expect from him. Big Dave, Prison Mitch, Dotson, Garrett… all upward bound. The Lawsons…
-
I think Self was done with this group a long time ago. I think he’s ready to regroup for next year.
We all know one thing, we have some good players, but NBA? Don’t think so.
-
Exactly. Self has gotten away from the bread and butter that got him up the ladder and to KU.
Gotten too comfortable with “out-talenting” the lil 10
-
@BeddieKU23 my bad I was talking about this game lol
-
At least I won’t catch any crap from the K-State losers. Unless they forgot that they lost too.

That’s what I love about this group. They have their biases but they are out in the open. But they are also so knowledgeable and they don’t kiss College B-ball ass.

First two of the game from KU too. SMH. Did we come to the game straight from an all you can eat Chinese Buffett?
-
Let’s hope we can win an appeal with SDS and get him eligible for next year. Their ruling was too harsh. I think this season was enough. But they made sure KU didn’t do one damn thing this year. What’s worse, KU decided not to do one damn thing this year. GEEZ. This is surreal. This is a freakin’ nightmare of a season.
-
Going to record the second half. Worked outside all day and dead tired. Kinda like our offense.
-
Duke: 2013–14 Mike Krzyzewski 26–9 13–5 3rd NCAA Round of 64 (Round of 68 bye)
UNC: 2017–18 Williams 26–11 11–7 T-3rd NCAA Second Round
This too shall pass. Season goes to shit and we’re still 2 games out of first in conference and 2nd round exit. It happens.
-
@RockChalkinTexas You’re not going to be able to sleep. Might as well watch!
-
@nuleafjhawk ya Right. You know they will still be saying KU choked in the tournament… It’s what they do

Don’t think you’ll miss much. Not worth recording. Don’t waste your time. It will take a bonafide miracle to win this utter failure.
-
The last two times we were this young, we lost early in the tourney. And the fruits of being so young turned into a Championship and a FF. This sucks. But long term it will be ok.
