Anyone else love the Council dunk, this is a rivalry not arts and crafts 🫡

Wowsers KSU just got spanked in the octagon of dumb by nearly 30 to the power house bearcats of Cincinnati

Last night decided to show my son the Miracle movie from the 1980 Gold medal team. Then we got up early and watched the USA win gold for the first time since then.

I enjoy the games a lot more when Fran isn’t on the call.

I honestly have to give Coach Self props on the way he has handled this, he likely isn’t super happy with how it’s been going but he has done great.

I know this is women’s but a huge win on senior night for the ladies 68-59 over #20 Tech. They were on the first 4 out coming into this evening.

I feel like we got pretty fortunate tonight but that’s our first postseason win in 721 days as sad as it is to report

@ROCKCHALK2025 prayers are with you my friend, my uncle had the same thing with COPD and a few weeks after his 62 birthday he passed away. We all have a clock ticking that we can’t see, enjoy everyday you can with her buddy.

Jacque Vaughn is still unbeaten in Manhattan

I’m hearing that there is a good chance Paul will be returning as well. Personally I think he can make a Flory type jump from year one to two. Remember he is taller and has a 7’4 wing span. Talking block/lob city potential.

Tiller visited Mizzou this past weekend

Flory bidunga has committed to Louisville

Will be interesting to see if the amount ever comes out. Heard it was a bidding war between Louisville, Dook and Tech. Rumors are rolling from unreliable sources of 8 million.

As others have mentioned to me... one big question is; just how much NIL money does our AD and Self have available? It seems like we are low, probably because of the football stadium. It seems like ever since NIL came around we've had to pick from less talented players (as a whole).

Yes that has been my biggest complaint over the last few years is everything I read says we ain’t a top spender within our own conference even. Then you look at the millions and millions dumped into a football program to go win 5 games a season and it’s pretty disappointing. I want us to be respectable in football for sure but not at the cost of making us average in basketball.

My local intel is telling me Kohl was at the baseball game today cheering on the team.

@drgnslayr for sure Self needs guys to stay and develop within his system and it has worked very well in the past. The problem is that isn’t CBB anymore and likely never will be again. We either need to pony up the dough to keep guys or absolutely knock it out of the park in the portal.

@BeddieKU23 I’d be happy to keep him and Kohl with the Flory ship pretty much already sailed. You wouldn’t think he would command a ton of money in the portal.

From what I just read over 55% D1 college basketball players are currently in the portal.

@drgnslayr that’s is a possibility for sure and I hope it happens. I just don’t trust Bill and this staff ability to create a roster good enough to win conference and national championships. Like I’ve said before right now the top teams not only the country but our own conference are bigger, faster, stronger and more athletic. Flory may have been those things against most of the teams we played he was just inexperienced. At the other 4 spots went heavily the other way and the guys on the bench of top teams were unmeasurable levels above ours. We may have had the worst bench in the Bill Self era with Mari and Elmarko getting most of those minutes. Sadly it didn’t have to be that way with guy we had in warms up all season. Maybe as you say those two transferring could be a huge blessing in disguise.

What I wonder... it's that most of our team didn't hesitate at all to move into the portal. I'm not for certain, but do the rest of the upper D1 teams lose this many?

If I remember right Miami in 2023 I believe made the FF and lost the whole roster in the portal.
