Jacque vaughn will be the assistant coach not the coach in waiting

DAR DAR! His King Kong chest thump will always be one of my favorites.

@BigBad said in NCAA Tournament Discussion: Modern basketball in a nutshell. Down 2 in the bonus and you get nothing going to the basket. You attempt a half ass elevator screen to free up a 28’ three. Yes I know there were other options before that last one. But this modern chuck every 3 imaginable has just led to kids settling for bad long shots. Perhaps a bad shot in the bigger picture but was it a bad shot for Sharp? Kid takes a lot of those kinds and hits them too. Play call wasn’t great, but perhaps just better execution by the defense. Sharp doesn’t get the shot off due to a great close out.

@BeddieKU23 wow, 30 years, that is some streak. Yet another long standing record broken this season.

@SlimShaddy54 If nothing else, this weeks happenings should have Goff clearing the war room table and starting the search, be it now or next year. Gotta hit a homerun.

@KU4LIFE agreed. Welcome to the board!

It’s always interesting to see when players are not motivated by Self’s coaching style. I guess it’s not for everyone, there’s a standard to uphold and I don’t think AJ has bought into it. Easy to say from the outside but he doesn’t show that he fits here, which is crazy because his athletic profile and body type is meant to thrive here. With his recent struggles I’m imagining they will try and figure it out in this important 5 game stretch we start today. Team has been healthy so far but we have upcoming games against two of the most physical teams in the nation. Any injury is going to put the focus back on AJ having to be a factor. He needs to figure it out

@approxinfinity said in West Virginia- a game finally: Foury Flory I really hope we can get him NIL money and to stay. I think he’d be a lottery pick next season no question. A second round project like Furphy is.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Injuries piling up: @BeddieKU23 also, heard the foot will be fine. He’d go if needed Hope so, I’m always worried with bigs that get foot injuries, how much impact that means long term. Hunter is a big dude and carries what 260-270 pounds. Wear and tear… Hopefully it gets put behind him. We need him.

I heard late pm is on espn+ tonight, 6:30. Don’t hold me to the time. Anybody ever hear if pre and post games will be back? I so enjoyed them.

I always thought NIL stood for No Intent of Loyalty

@approxinfinity said in Shakeel Moore with a broken foot.: I dont think this is a title roster. Zero defense. I’m gonna upgrade the zero defense to 35% defense. Harris for 20%, KJ for 10% and Hunter gets 5% for blocks. There’s potential to upgrade to 55% defensive ability if Griffen decides to play some. Or, i wonder if Self says screw it and tells Passmore his ticket to the floor is aggressive defense from the start. Griffen as a bench spark. That would bump up the grade as well!

I don’t want to see it change but this sport figures to be a shell of itself within the next 5 yrs so it’s going to be a lot of disappointment anyway. Pressure to expand seems evident from schools. Money wise there seems to be little incentive. Lots of decisions keep plowing forward with little regard for what fans want

@dylans said in Big-12 going to 20 game league schedule: Does anyone know the 2024-25 bball schedule? I know some games have been announced, but I wasn’t sure if the schedule has been figured out by someone yet or not. Full non-conference schedule usually isn’t announced until sometime in June and the Big 12 schedule in August/September. We know games against Michigan St., Duke, UNC, NC State, Creighton, Missouri, and Furman will happen. That should leave 4 more games to be announced.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed… low injuries… no off-court “fouls”… and a team that gels well and everyone finds their happy role. Then we know we have a real shot and enough depth. I’m getting excited for fall ball and it’s early June! Tomatoes are huge this year with plenty of spring moisture. Yippee! My biggest concern is defense and hungry rabbits!

@kjayhawks I feel like there’s three starting spots locked in with Juan, kj and Hunter……I doubt Self removes him from the starting lineup

@kjayhawks Looking back, Uconn didn’t play their A game but it was still good enough to beat KU even in Allen. We just seemed to match them that day with the home crowd being a big factor. We were also healthy at the time and they weren’t. Perhaps that was the difference right there in itself

@jayballer67 I would worry if it was the teams attitude, the fans don’t determine any outcome unless they donate piles of NIL cash.

I know not NIL tournament related but saw where there will be no Big 12 & Big East battle this upcoming Season

How many doinks or that annoying shattering rim sounds did we offer up? That is why we lost I mean they shot lights out and didn’t hit the 80 mark. We can expect better from our three PG, SF and C. Hunter can do better than at the rim air balls. Surely he is practicing treys. We are as thin as a wafer any way you turn it.
