Just how amazing has his season been?
13, 20 point games.
Who would have ever thought he would average 20 points a game? Incredible
On the verge of becoming the 1st Big-12 player to avg 20 + 5 assists a game.
Possible front-runner for POY.
14th place on the All-Time Scoring Record with 1,622 points. He still has at least 10 games left in his career, 17 if all goes as planned.
What else am I missing?
No matter what happens he’ll go down as one of my favorite hawks ever!
“You know, you look at this team and everybody, including myself, has said what’s wrong with this team all year long. We don’t do this, we don’t do that or we’re too small or we don’t have enough depth or we don’t play hard enough or we’re not hungry enough. And all they’ve done is they’re the No. 3 overall seed, and they’ve won two games in the tournament and are going to the Sweet 16. We’ve got to win two more games to get where we want to go. But I’m so proud of our kids and nobody can say that they haven’t had a great season. Now we have to go make great (turn into) special.” -Bill Self
Has Self said anything better all season long?
I’m pumped for Friday. We’re going to win
At work and have this beaming smile.
The win ranks up with the best of them.
Hope everyone else is enjoying the feeling of that W.
San Antonio here we come!
heard this was going up in the Rafters at Kansas St’s next home game. Next year they can add to it.
Time to give this guy some props for his defense and intangibles on the court so far this year.
His defense on Saturday against Paschall was outstanding. He was locked in. Talked after about the film he watched on how to guard him and its refreshing to see how much detail he put into that matchup. Overall I thought he did as good a job as we could have hoped on him.
We all know his 3 point shots are prayers, he constantly clanks the first free throw at the line and he’s struggled finishing on drives but man does this kid compete on both sides. He’s a valuable ball handler as we saw when Nova went to a full court press. It’s nice to know if Dotson is struggling or in foul trouble that we have a ball handler that can get into the offense. He has great hands and awareness when looking for steals. More importantly we have a guy that can matchup with someone’s best scorer 1-4 positions. Great to have.
He scores 1 point but his impact on the game seemed to outweigh what the box score says. Now if the staff could only get that shot fixed…
This guy deserves his own thread.
What an unbelievable performance last night. Dare to say that tops Kevin Durant’s performance here years back but after playing 54 of 55 minutes and putting on a clinic all through the OT’s I do say this was the best performance by a non KU player ever in this building.
And he does it with class… If you saw his post game interview with Scott Van Pelt he was all class even though you could sense he was upset leaving here without a victory.
And our fans, the one’s that were left gave him a standing ovation. Name another fan-base that will do that for a kid on the other team. Not ISU, Not KSU…KU is all class even its fans, although sometimes we all have our moments.
I’ve been a fan of his for a while but I gained a whole new appreciation for him. He had moments last night that reminded me of how Steph Curry is playing in the NBA. He’s that good, I do think he’s got a chance to become an NBA all-star the way he carries himself and the hard work he has put in to be where he’s at.
I’m jealous he’s not in a KU uniform, I’m jealous Self didn’t see what kind of player Hield could become, but who could have?
Thanks Buddy for putting on a show but respectfully missing that last 3 in triple OT. I will never forget that game.

3rd in points per game in Conference- 22nd national
2nd in shooting % in conference- 5th national
tied for 1st in 3pt %, really improved that # lately- 17th nationally
worst FT shooting team in the conference- believe there are only 11 teams worse in all of D-1. Yikes
3rd in the conference in rebounding- 61st nationally
2nd in assists per game conference- 16th nationally
Surprisingly 3rd in Blocks in conference- 34th nationally playing mostly 4 guard lineup…
KenPom has us 8th nationally in Adjusted Offense, 6th in Adjust Defense.
So far so good.
Boy is hungry.
Cut his trip back home short and is back in Lawrence working on his game. Taking after Frank and putting in the work to have a dominate Sr year.
@wissox said in Charlie Moore:
Preseason all Big East. I watched a bit of Depaul basketball last year and he didn’t look all that different from when he played for us. A lot of wildish shots and generally an accident waiting to happen.
Did he start looking at the hoop before shooting at Depaul yet? Guy used to put up 1-2 shots a game at KU without even seeing a rim
Agree about Dave’s body he looked much improved. I think the new Strength Coach has done very well so far with these guys.
Agree about Christian he should be the top shooter on the team unless Thompson hits the ground running there
The hits just keep coming with Silvio. Pattern of bad behavior follows him
@Kcmatt7 said in Self flips to x-axis ball in AFH!:
I though Garrett proved himself last year. No need to worry about him. Just get the ball up the court and play D.
If he improves his trey shot to mid 30’s & FT shooting to 70 or above I’ll take his stat line any day.
We definitely have length. The avg starting height for this team should be among the biggest in the country. Harris is the only player likely to play rotation minutes that’s under 6’5. Teams will have issues matching that.
Big-12 has a lot of quality bigs this year. Guys will have to step up to the plate and figure it out against those guys.
Agree about guarding the 3 point line.
Cautiously optimistic about how the team will shoot from 3 consistently. Agbaji is the one returning player that could really improve in that area.
Dave must improve on his awareness and ability to guard away from the basket. He’s going to be guarding guys on a consistent basis that can stretch the floor. That’s an effort thing and hopefully its something he’s worked on.

Meh, KU can win that game.
Zags are pretty much the same as KU coming in. Experience at PG, SF & C. They will likely start a 5 star guard & Soph in the post who was injured & missed half the season. They lose 17.5, 13.6, 10.7 & 10.1 ppg from that team that averaged 87 a game. 8 of their 11 guys will be Soph/Fr.
I’ll take my chances predicting KU can win this one
The 5 star guard is Jalen Suggs who’s going to be their PG so they’re not experienced at the PG spot, but Suggs is an elite level talent though.
They have Joel Ayayi who is the combo guard I was referencing. Pretty sure he played some PG for Gonzaga last year at times the same as Garrett. Either way both teams are likely to start 5 star guards

Season opener too. Not ideal when replacing your two best players and incorporating several into new positions
huge news.
KU will play Gonzaga on Nov 25th in Fort Myers
Baylor should be the clear cut #1.
Not sure why Gonzaga is even Top 5 after their big man left. I can see them being a Top 10 team, maybe even Top 5 good but not sure I see it on paper right off the bat.
