This one is not on Self. He made the adjustment of going to a 4-1 (maybe he should have done it earlier) and it brought us back into the game. It’s not his fault that his players missed a ton of wide-open lay-ups, shot 4-10 from the free-throw line, failed to secure defensive rebounds, and turned the ball over. If we do any of those things we win the game. This one is on the players.
Is the roster his fault? No excuse to not have shooters. Recruit a 3 star that can shoot. Stop being enamored with “athletes”. I don’t give a crap how “smart” guys like Marcus Garret are. Players like him are not going to win games in March. The object of the game is to put the ball in the basket.

This loss takes us all the way down to gasp #14 on KenPom in offense. THE HORROR
-
You guys are ridiculous. The roster is fine. Sometimes we lose games. Kansas ranks 61/353 in 3P% and 2/353 in overall field goal percentage. I support HCBS and I think he’s doing a great job.
-
61st in 3p% with probably the largest center in college. If you have a layup with a guy like that and cant surround him with shooters then its a roster problem.
-
@BShark I put it on scheduling, we never play worth a crap in this game switch it with last Saturday’s game and probably win both. The players weren’t focused and Garrett went down is why we lost. Play a cupcake in this game Bill, the guys are focused on going home for the holidays not basketball.

We’re 48th now, 1 make a way from 37th. Fickle stat.
-
First road game did not go so well. Why are we surprised in the least bit? Just the heart wrenching end I suppose. Dang I hate losing to nova.
-
@jhawk7782 Hell, why not huck up enough bricks. You make enough and win? Who cares? They won bricks and all. This Nova team lives and dies by the trey. It will not serve them well in most games. That shot by Samuels was the luckiest dumbass shot all day. They were shooting way too many 3s.
KU didn’t look comfortable at all. Garrett had to be the difference. Nova pretty much knew if a key player leaves the court, they sneak a win at home. But of all the stupid crap in this game, I gotta give Nova fans credit, they didn’t rush the court.
-
I would not fire Self, however, if he leaves, I’d go after Jay Wright with full force to become our next HC.

Nova owns KU, no need to rush the court. It’s why I want to see the series continue as well. Bill needs to figure this crap out pronto!

Dotson mostly. Dont turn the ball over up 4. Dont miss a one and one with the game on the line
Don’t give up a 3 down 2.

Lots of learning to do! We only had 3 fouls. D dot could’ve should’ve done a lot of different things. Maybe he was mentally tired too, Marcus usually does help him out. I hope Marcus is getting treatment.
-
Got pounded by Creighton today. Sheesh.
-
@BShark I’d really like to see KU play ‘Nova until Bill figures Wright out.
-
We will! We r better!
-
@BShark figure it out? Gotta run some errands

@Crimsonorblue22 I get the error “category does not exist” whenever I try to make a new thread in any section.

On phone? I just tried and can’t do it on phone. Test was on ipad

No categories

@BShark same thing for me on phone

I have had a category that I posted so long ago that I forgot what it was originally titled that someone other than myself totally edited - turned it into some kind of non-legible rant. I cannot drink enough beer to write that badly.

You love to see it.

Announcer was awesome, he brought the heat on that play. “Kamar Baldwin is a bad bad man”. Hard to get a call better then that.
-
This is as bad as I’ve seen Nova and we still lost to them. Sad.
-
Maybe so, but they’re still ranked in the Top 10 and not a bad team at all. If this is their worst team then honestly that’s pretty impressive for their program. Also, we lost on the road, by 1 point, without Marcus Garrett down the stretch, in a game that we should have won. I think we beat them in a rematch on a neutral court.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich SHU was taking them from behind when I made that post. Should have waited.
-
It’s going back and forth. Seton Hall with Powell is a nice team.

That was the road game before Christmas break, KU historically sucks in that game under Self.

North Carolina with a choke job of epic proportions

Bad shots early in the shot clock, missed FTs (some barely getting to the rim) and matador defense in the last 4 minutes…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 except we played well till dot
the bed.
-
Oh and the last 4 seconds happened

Baylor is unreal lucky

Vital is so sneaky, and they flop a lot. We use to piss him off and he lost focus!
-
Cole Anthony not hi bbiq
-
Well, that made me look foolish
-
I thought he needed to run clock
-
That Baylor-OSU game was one of the most poorly officiated games I’ve ever seen.
-
Hurt, zero pts
-
Call sucks
-
Out of bounds
-
On the sideline?
-
Ya Ted Valentine missed that call. It should have been a foul on Duke.
Even Baylor fans are saying Oklahoma St got jobbed by the officials. Yikes

Okie State got hosed in those last minutes. As you know that was not any 8 point game , not even a four point game. – I don’t blame Boyton AT ALL
