@BShark Go rewatch the tape and let me know how often Juan was on Isaac’s

It was the best Clemence has looked since his freshman season. Fun game. Guys are generally finding their way in the system and, in some ways, they look good simply because this group is shooting better. Next up @Creighton… will be difficult.

@BeddieKU23 said in UNCW Game Thread: @jayballer67 Assume they are working the logistics of this possibility. Tiller wants to come, I think at this point it’s mostly about trying to make it work within the NCAA’s rules.

@BShark said in Oakland Game Thread: @BeddieKU23 said in Oakland Game Thread: Disagree he’s playing too many. Play your depth, injuries happen, if you can minimize the risk of injury with some of the guys right now for the long haul you do it. Injuries and guys getting worn down from too many minutes is a real thing that has happened to Hunt, Juan and KJ. We have 10 that belong, figure it out He always plays this many early, especially in games where we will win anyway. He knows it will be trimmed by conference play but compared to last year the minutes for the big three should hopefully be down. UNC game was more telling. Bill tightens up his rotation when the competition ramps up.

@Texas-Hawk-10 this. Lol

MOST , first team All Americans - - -Worlds loudest indoor Stadium , 95 % winning % home court-------- NUFF SAID-- -anybody got anything to say ? – - -( crickets ) - - -THOUGHT SO - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG

Another good game tonight tipping the Season off will be Gonzaga–? Baylor. ought to be a good one.

Im not down on Zach either. He seems to have active hands on D. He doesnt seem to finish well but he can bring energy, 5 fouls and size and thats useful.

@stoptheflop said in Need Games To Start: I’m not seeing any news or discussions about KU Basketball even though Late Night is Oct 18 and the Ark scrimmage is Oct 25. Starters: Dickinson, Adams, Storr, Mayo and Harris? Can AJ Storr take over Kevin’s scoring from last year? First off the bench: Clemence, Griffen, McDowell? Thank goodness KU basketball is getting started. Depends who starts between Griffen and Mayo i guess. But main bench options to me are: Passmoore / Moore when healthy / Bidunga / Griffen or Mayo (depends who starts) Deep bench: Clemence (will play when Bidunga makes Self angry with Freshman mistake) / McDowell

@BShark said in Vermont Food Musings: @rockchalkjayhawk said in Vermont Food Musings: @BShark said in Vermont Food Musings: Trying Barred Woods for Maple. Best combination I could find of price + reviews. Straight from the farmer is always a big plus. They will ship you a gallon for $61 total price. They sell on Amazon as well, but I’d rather not give Amazon a cut. Got me on some cheese from Wisconsin, but I’ll have to wait until my current cheese surplus is gone. Sharky, we gotta talk about your maple syrup consumption!!! a gallon? I can quit at any time! Lol. In all seriousness it should last awhile. I do like to use it and honey in place of sugar though. I also buy honey by the gallon which is like 11-12 pounds. I cook/bake a lot. Never go out to eat anymore unless it’s a social situation and I don’t buy any frozen food or heavily processed food anymore. All smart choices. Not to derail this into a baking thread…but i am a cookie fanatic, so i try to do the same and use unsweetened apple sauce and a bit of honey instead of processed white sugar.

@approxinfinity yay!! I finally got some points lol

@patoh3 - Oh. Oops.

@kjayhawks Oh it’s definitely not Self…he has some philosophy faults but it’s by far the players that are the issue

@approxinfinity Bill is notorious for starting guys but finishing with other guys. There’s no reason roster spot 6 and 7 shouldn’t be getting BIG minutes unless they just aren’t producing. Which is what is happening this year. Those 8-10 spots are really role dependent but we always need a back up big and a back up guard that can come in without any drop in level of play or even provide a spark or a little different look. If the dudes were there, Self would play them. He always has.

@BShark said in Elmarko: @FarmerJayhawk said in Elmarko: Bill heavily implied Marko will be back https://x.com/glenn_kinley/status/1778587672937705888?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ They want him back, but also recommend reading Swain’s thread. Sure, the buzz has been trending that he’s back

@Gorilla72 said in It will be pretty hard for me to be excited for next year's team: In a 247 article, HD indicated his speech didn’t preclude him from returning next year. The speech was “just something I wanted to do”. Apparently he hasn’t decided yet? Hasn’t decided for sur yet

I’m disappointed but I don’t begrudge Kevin. He did a lot for this team and for the program the past two years. The hardest part of this for me is the lingering “what if?” What if he was still playing? What would our record have been with him? If Kevin wasn’t so good and so important, it simply wouldn’t hurt so much. We would have missed Kevin at the conclusion of the season no matter what. But, the fact that he played his last game early is where the extra pain comes from. Personally, I thank him for coming to KU and giving us some big wins and amazing memories.

https://twitter.com/frankmason0/status/1750197560159977597 Well, this makes more sense lol. Plans to play 6 more years and says he will just reach out to Self directly when it’s time.

@jayballer67 said in Timberlake: Wonder if it is a safe bet that Nick isn’t back next year ? Upshot: very safe bet he isn’t back.

@Crimsonorblue22 Good point. Didn’t impact them nearly as much as I expected last Saturday when they held TCU off late for the road win. Gilbert, their other small guard starter has slid over to the PG spot and was a big issue for TCU. Harris is absolutely a key on Saturday and he needs to play a lot better then he did last year in Ames. Team scored 53 last year there, Wilson had 26 of them. Wonder if Self is going to remind them of that debacle
