@approxinfinity The Zen Approach 2025 back-to-back men’s champion Tom Kopke (Munich) kept it simple: “I shut off my brain and went for it.” That's the exact strategy KU should have used in basketball.. My money is on Kopke to win his 3rd straight this Mayt! GO KOPKE! ROLL THE CHEESE, BRO! CHEESE

@FarmerJayhawk said in Kansas vs St Johns: Man it hurts to see Marko has broken up as he was after the game. Say what you want about his game, but he really, really cares and loves being a Jayhawk. For sure I get on these guys fairly often but there is a difference between pointing out a bad play and hating a player for mistakes on the court. I loved KJ and Juan as people just don’t believe they should’ve ever been starting for the KU basketball team.

CAL Baptist goes 10-19 at the line. Make 8 more and we're going to OT.

@JoJoAndMe we really waste a few fouls and should’ve tried to get the last one with less than 2 seconds remaining. One of the fouls on Zuby he was 75 feet from the goal. Get in front of him and make the big guy waste some dribbles or trap him trying to get a steal. It was just poorly executed. We also gave away so many possessions not being able to get the ball in. The announcers said we worked on it the day before, you just would’ve never known watching. We looked panicked and like we didn’t expect any pressure at all.

I think you could circle a lot things in this one that were an issue. My main concern as it has been most the season is the rebounding. The refs were garbage and it’s starting to become major news across the country right now because what is a foul or a traveling one game is not in another. Sometimes which end it is on is completely different, they could’ve very easily called at least another 10 fouls on Arizona with how tight the whistle was for them. You guys and gals know I’ve always said professional sports in this country are rigged. I’m starting to wonder if college isn’t the same. It literally looked like KU cut it to 2 and the refs got a page or text reminding them of the spread. I think they should press have conferences after the game for officials. I mean how many of us can repeatedly do our job wrong or not all without having repercussions? The guy cleaning the ice machine at McDonald’s gets written up for forgetting to do it but officials at the second highest level of sports in this country making 6 figures have to answer to nobody.

@Jayhawk_69 a win Monday would be massive imo, and would put us right back on track, especially if our core players all play fairly well to well.

AMERICA

@approxinfinity Sadly yes. Accountability, not a word the big companies know

Analytics loved the KU win over Iowa St. Moved up from #23 to #17 on Kenpom. Offense jumped from the 50's to #34 so that offensive performance was well above expected. Defense has dropped nearly 10 spots this month

@BeddieKU23 Self has a lot of ridiculous records but that doesn’t pertain to much with this group. I’d like to see those numbers from both 03-22 and from 23 to now. I know we have a losing road record by over 10 games in that span and I’ll bet it’s a losing record vs ranked opponents.

With the success of that last 5 minutes of regulation pressure, I wonder if we’ll see more of it in the games ahead. Sure hope so!

@approxinfinity ya it would be wild all right lol

Merry Belated Xmas everyone! Happy Boxing Day!

@BeddieKU23 gooden has to be hi up there
