Joe Dooley won the ASUN regular season conference title for the second straight year in 2018. They start the conference tourney Monday night.

Always happy to see former KU coaches do well!

Saw this on Twitter from Creighton Coover:

#KUbball has, by far, the longest current streak of receiving a #4 seed or higher in the #NCAATournament. This short list exemplifies the incredible consistency the #Jayhawks have shown for the entire century thus far! Kansas - 21 Gonzaga - 5 Purdue - 5 Baylor - 2

Dunno where else to put this. I’ll just leave it here…

Missouri will be on its 7th basketball coach since Bill Self arrived at Kansas. Self is the 8th coach in KU history.

Is it possible the big guys are playing a bit soft to avoid fouls, hence fewer rebounds? Given that the big guys spent a lot of time on the bench in the first half, it had to impact rebounding.

If Preston can return, those numbers should change (I would hope)…

Seat for selection Sunday - Check

Beer for Selection Sunday - Check

Popcorn to throw at last 4 out - Check

Popcorn to throw at last 4 in - Check

Laugh practice for Gregg Marshall and spouse - Check

Finger Flip practice for Duke because they get a high a seed - Check

What am I missing?

Langford was 4/12 field goals in 31 minutes during an exhibition victory over a Southern Indiana. 4 rebounds and 1 assist. 5 turnovers. This Buckets group would have crucified him…

He had a great game for Ukraine, scoring 22 points and helping to defeat previously unbeaten Spain!

I have almost no doubt that Self will massacre the league and make a tournament run with RS JR Agbaji, JR Braun, JR McBride and whoever else is added to that future roster.

Who are you and what have you done with @BShark ?

It is ugly, VERY ugly. I lost my wife to pancreatic cancer about 2 years ago. It took her in 6 months. She wasn’t the same physically or mentally after identification. Lost my mother to it, also.

I HATE cancer!

@JayHawkFanToo , it should be an interesting matchup for Clay Young, also!

Dodgers at Royals will be a great measure of how the Royals are playing. Dodgers are over .700.

@BShark - good find! Too funny!

Could it be that this is part of a yet-unannounced IARP settlement? KU is getting this out of the way while still having a great incoming class that will cover 2023-24 well with only transfers? Just a thought….

CB may be forcing his shots. 10 is more than his usual. Hoping they start to fall.

Really good article in The Athletic on the new Big 12 commissioner. He plans on being active and taking the initiative in all areas, including expansion. He’s already working of the Big 12 but doesn’t start contractually until August. Active, instead of “reactive”! Refreshing.

Bill will sit him 10 games and make him run steps! Or would have at any rate….

I understand the PAC12 is going into television rights negotiations 2 years early to get a value on their remaining teams. Remaining teams may want to hear that before deciding. I’m thinking this will be a drawn out process.

“ The travel ban, which took effect in January, originally included Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee. The Attorney General … announced he had added Alabama, Kentucky, South Dakota and Texas because of recently enacted laws in those states.” Apparently it includes university staff members. I’m not certain it can be gotten around so easily due to the amount of state funding involved. I’ll be interested to see if it comes into play…

Doesn’t CA have a prohibition against their state supported schools (UC system) playing schools where politics conflict? I think Kansas, Oklahoma, maybe Nebraska conflict. I dunno about other Big 10 schools.

@jayballer67 - Very good! “Jailbreak” album, I believe, but probably on others.
