Man they’re not running any offense. I could guard them if they keep standing around
You can’t come into this thing without having practiced and having sets to run that are not just college sets. It’s a serious tournament and it doesn’t look like they took it too seriously.
Yeah that’s kind of what it looks like. They’re better than this.
-
They have played so ungodly bad if they can it back to 9 or 10 at the half, they have a shot.
-
@kjayhawks that’s a pretty big if after witnessing the first half live
-
@HawkChamp just need to tell the guys to play together and start doing the simple things like boxing out and moving on offense.
-
They’ve been practicing. Losing perry hurt! Landen sucks, sorry. DA not much help.
-
Mario is not here, tharpe sitting

All true.
-
Hopefully Self went back there after his interview and go the guys going a little bit.
-
Must have thought they could just show up
-
Oof
-
Be lucky if it’s less than 20 at this point, need a run. We look old, slow and uninterested.
-
Need bigs
-
This is just an awful performance in every aspect of the game. Kind of embarrassing
-

-
I’d never guess mario little would be hi pt
-
What a sh** show lol oh well I guess. No one on this team can shoot.
-
It seemed leading up to this all the players were taking this serious. However, after watching this it doesn’t appear they are.
-
Perry is huge
-
Yeah no Perry and no Mario Chalmers really hurts
-
Let’s wait til we’re down 20 in the 4th to play defense smh. Remind me of some other games in a tournament.
-
Yeah and wait to speed the game up. This was a great team to run up and down with.
-
I’m wondering how much Perry’s injury played into this. These guys have pro contracts outside of this tournament and I’m wondering if they backed off after Perry’s injury to preserve themselves for the professional teams.

Could be, who knows. Arthur was visibly frustrated during timeouts. I’ll have to watch highlights of him versus UNC and Memphis to forget about today’s game.
-
We got out of there fast! Any word on Perry?
-
Me with Silvio at the game tonight.
-
Cool!
-
@HawkChamp which one is Silvio?
-
-
@HawkChamp - frame it above the fireplace!

I couldn’t agree with you more - -these guys looked like crap - -old an not interested period - -I saw nothing to that got me the least bit excited watchin I turned it off pretty sad display
-
Morningstar is a bad coach, LL and DA can’t make baskets or block out, TT had a few oops, bad passes. I really think Perry getting hurt changed the game. He’s a scorer. I mean they had to play case!
let us pick the guys next year. Guessing Perry won’t do it again. He has a torn patellar tendon, surgery next week. Hate to see such a great guy have to go thru this.

Fwiw they wanted some other guys such as Tyrel Reed that couldn’t make it work. Also can’t have any NBA guys iirc.
-
I was excited for this game, all the more since EJ was building it up on his new podcast, Foul Shots. What a bust.
Who knows what would’ve happened if Perry had played, but they came out slow and without energy. No bounce, no fire. Gave up easy baskets and lost the battle of the boards—both energy categories. I’d love to see Withey in this next year, and Trob, if he hasn’t caught on with an NBA team.
-
With Perry having a torn patellar tendon, it sounds like there’s a possibility his basketball career is over.
While Perry is recovering, I wouldn’t be surprised if Self gives him some kind of support role within the program this year to get a head start on on a coaching career in case his playing career is over.
-
I feel terrible for Perry and we can see why most of our big name alums stayed away from this tournament with no guarantee of a decent pay day.

If he does have to retire that would be awesome for Self, Perry and the program.
-
@BShark For Self and the program at least. I don’t think Perry would choose that path at this point in his life voluntarily.
-
I just meant if he had to do something else it is good for him if that is how it plays out. I’m guessing his first choice would still be to hoop as well.
-
As horrible as the injury is, I’m glad it didn’t happen straight out of college. The what if’s would’ve been haunting for Perry then; now he pretty much knows where he stands.
-
Here’s hoping for a full recovery!
-
Aftershocks, afterthought
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That sideline cancer squad is salty.
-
@BShark yeah they shoot it really well. Kinda reminds me of a Villanova type team. That sort of team is one that we see do well at the collegiate and professional levels - 4 out 1 in, lots of ball movement and shoot the three well.
-
A lot of second shots
-
Sideline Cancer has been in the tournament several years now, those guys know how to play well with each other at this point.
Some of the better options the KU group could get to play are over in the Big3 league, so not available for the TBT. KU guys in the Big3 league are Drew Gooden, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, and Julian Wright. That’s why there were some players who would’ve been a great fit on Self Made that weren’t there.
