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!

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…

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 ?

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

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!

There are articles and comments today regarding the “fun”the team was having. Newman had 8 points in the 1st 6 or so minutes and opened up his personality. Svi was his usual “all business” demeanor. Doke never smiles, like this is a lot of work! Looks like Devonté tries to have fun but carries the weight of the team on his shoulders. From a (very) high level, the team looks really stressed. Can HCBS get these guys to have fun yet play efficiently? Personally, I’d like to see more smiles and arm waving.

I hope the next trough hits against Ft Hays in our next pre-season…

WVU (away) down 6 to Texas at the half. WVU is struggling…

@Crimsonorblue22 - why was he able to borrow a car from the AD? Do all students get to do that?

Can you imagine if that kind of thing happened at KU??? All of heaven and earth would be aghast. Can’t wait to see what happens…

@jayballer73 - you should be a Chiefs fan now!

I doubt Dave starts this year after his suspension. Braun really seized the opportunity.

Dave needs minutes and confidence to prepare for next year. Thoughts?

Just curious as to y’all’s thoughts, but Big Dave needs playing time to prepare for next year. If he doesn’t start, he will only get time as a sub for Doke, when HCBS goes with 2 bigs or when KU is in a blowout.

Doke needs to play for his value to the team and his Pro development.

IMHO, Self is starting 2 bigs to get Dave court time. KU needs him next year and starting him is his development time.

Any chance of a zone when Dok is off the floor?

@Texas-Hawk-10 - good call on UT tactics!

Doke only played 27 minutes today, so if he can stay out of foul trouble at OSU, KU should prevail. The other guys are used to that many minutes. But… KU has had significant trouble there.
