I think it’s pretty clear this team isn’t winning a title, they might be a second weekend team though. Next year could be really promising.
Agree they just don’t have that right combo to win a title this year. With a Big OR playing small.
We don’t have a talented enough Big to hold himself up against talented Big’s to carry us through with the others w got. - - We won’t win this with 5 guard small ball either THIS year.
We could be Ok with the small line up for awhile but somewhere through this we will run up against a team say - oh I don’t know maybe - - just maybe a team like oh - - GONZAGA - -or BAYLOR and could be others that have that big frontcourt that would just eat our lunch in the game like Gonzaga did.
Coach Self said in this post game that we couldn’t play that way the entire Season, and mentioned we couldn’t play that way the entire Season in the Big 12 , Saying that Dave is going to have to play. Were gonna have a good Season this year , gonna be fun to watch - -well at times anyways , there is likely going to be some games where it might NOT be fun to watch but hell that can be the case with any team.
Big difference between winning an NBA title playing small and winning an NCAA title with 5 small. - -In the NBA your talking 5 very talented top level small compared to 5 NCAA College small. - -Those 5 small in the NBA are in the NBA cause they proved and are talented enough to be able to compete and compete very well - - that’s why they are in the NBA. - -5 small in the NCAA is not that case, Not all 5 are talented enough to make the NBA, true they might very well be good - - just not NBA good enough to make the NBA. - we gonna be ok. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Baylor’s front court is w/e. West Virginia will be an issue. Wouldn’t be surprised if KU splits with both this year.

Lolz

This isn’t KU’s best team under self but the NCAA tourney is a crap shoot. There are plenty of teams every year that have talent and if they get lucky could win it. KU has had top 5 teams go out early and we’ve had 2012 team, 2 seed make a run at the title. This team has less odds then last year but it’s all about who you play. Let’s say we end the year ranked 9th and we struggle against good front courts. We get hot in the tourney and never play a team with a good front court we could win. Silly to write this team off after two games and a more experienced Gonzaga team beating us. We have so much youth on this team from guys that will impact the team (Harris, braun, wilson, tristian, Thompson).

Don’t sleep on Virginia Tech. One of these years they’re going to do some damage.

@approxinfinity Cartier?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Cartier should be a good piece but he wasn’t that big a factor yesterday. Came off bench 24 minutes 1-8 shooting.

He looked like garbage for V-Tech. Ball sticks in his hand and above everything else his attitude is piss poor. Him and Weber definitely didn’t see eye to eye
-
@BeddieKU23 I love shit posting Bruce but letting Cartier go was a good move. Team cancer.
-
@BShark I wouldn’t want him. But we will see. Maybe a second chance will change him.
-
Bump - Bill Self is the GOAT
-
Forgive me father for I have sinned.
-
Lol, he’s thinking about it!
-
Hear me out…
Kansas HC Nate Oats
I am not advocating for Self to be fired, just having fun.

He’s on my very short list if Bill dies in a plane crash on vacation or some other awful thing

Ewww

7-5 ass Villanova multiple 20 point losses

So overrated and was still in the top 10

Nate Oats might screw around and lose to Missouri again.

Oh Lordy

Virginia is 12-8. Louisville is 11-9. These are programs that have been in the FF pretty recently. Self has his faults but is REMARKABLE in that he never seems to end up with down years like that.
-
@BShark Dook was 15-13 last year, as I recall. Tucky was 9-16. We don’t have years like that. Whoever we get once Bill calls it quits will be a step down.
-
@Jethro yep yep yep.
UNC right now too… One bad hire away.
-
@BShark Nice coif dude.
-
Will Wade might be a bit of a dummy. Obviously he can recruit but my would be interested in Will Wade if Self retired talk is looking a bit rough.
-
@BShark to rough and to dumb
-
My king Will Wade has fallen, fired by LSU.

So many teams should hire him it’s not even funny. Maryland, KSU, Mizzou
What he did and got caught doing is legal now. Guy is going to thrive with the new rules
-
KU should absolutely back and keep Self. Idgaf that he participated in something every single good basketball team does. It’s dumb that LSU cares. He will land on his feet
-
Perhaps the NOA was the final straw. They canned Eddy for football too so its been a bit of getting away from things
-
@BeddieKU23 they had to know they were coming though right? Seems funny to have not fired him sooner if that was the reason
-
Maybe he spends a year in the studio rehabbing his image?
Rick Pitino gets a P5 job this off-season too yea?

Pitino just signed what amounts to a lifetime deal at Iona and will be 70 when next season begins. He also already turned down the Maryland job which is probably going to be one of the 2 or 3 best jobs open this season so I don’t he’s headed back to a P5 job.
-
Doesn’t make much sense but guessing behind the scenes things might be more intense

Idea: Townsend rides into the sunset, we rehab Wade.

This is a strong ass idea
-
I think y’all need to look a little harder at that NOA…

How about Dooley? I think Wade is radioactive at the moment…
( Plus, I cannot stand Wade’s facial expressions during games. He truly looks like he bit into a strong assed shit sandwich.)

Dooley can replace Townsend when he goes to take his nap.

So no one would ever confuse Tom Crean with a proper basketball coach but going 16-16 (5-13 in league play) with a roster that had Anthony Edwards, Sahvir Wheeler and Rayshaun Hammonds is IMPRESSIVE in its own special way.

He knows Bill about to go on a tear.
In all honestly, he was a likable guy. Basketball is worse without him.

Bill is the best coach in CBB now. It really can’t even be argued.
-
If we didn’t have Self I would have wanted Jay Wright.
-
This announcement has twitter absolutely roasting Coach K rn too which is an added bonus
-
@Kcmatt7 DESERVED
-
Wow I can’t believe it. Jay was my pick to replace Self if we ever had the opening. Mad respect for him
-
Hmmm whats up Cam, Brendan, Mark?
