Years of following other KU sites emphasizing the negative of the team, publicizing the off court scandals, overlooking improvement, glad for this site. Not a KSU supporter in a shape, but when listening to their broadcasts no matter what is happening they seem to promote the positive constantly, alm ost to an annoying point. I don’t enjoying watching/ listening to critical dialogue from Gurley or Piper. National announcers do that all too often. RCJHKS!
@wissox said: Doke goes 5-5 from FT line in final minute of NC Game.
**Imediately following the trophy presentation Jim Nantz asked Doke why he had become so successful at the free throw line.
Doke said "Earlier this year l was really struggling. I was really depressed. Asked coach for help and he said it was too late to change. I was almost ready to pack up and head back home when l ran across kubuckets.com on the internet. They offered excellent advice on the art of free throw shooting. I could tell they cared about me. Every night in bed I would go to buckets and read up on their comments and suggestions. They became my family. It was like they were talking right to me and finally I could understand someone; well you know some of them l couldn’t understand and they carried on forever. But those threads helped to put me to sleep.
Without their help I would still be sent to stand in the corner late in the game. How depressing, I felt like I was in ‘timeout’.
I’m going to ask coach if a few of my kubuckets.com brothers can be in the parade down Massachusetts and l want to ride with them.**
@mayjay I think it may have stemmed from the early game warning of being out of the coaching box. With all our technology why do we waste time on warnings and finally technicals on leaving the coaches area. Just put an ankle bracelet on that zaps them when they violate. It would be a mild one on sidelines violation and major zap (similar to tasers) when coming on the court.
In the second half Vick got called for a foul comitted by two WVU players on the guy Vick was chasing. Evidently the ref couldn’t decide which WVU player to call it on and made the politically correct decision to call it on Vick. LaGerald looked away smiling.
@Jayballer54 How can you criticize Trae? He had a double-double.
Team is now 5-0. Almost everybody is healthy. Lots of competitive bodies at every positon. HC has changed the starting lineup several times. Players struggling in the games are going to the bench. Coach has this team heading in the right direction.
Gary Woodland wins Waste Management Phoenix Open on first playoff hole.
@Jayballer54 Maybe our fans should wear black pullover jackets for the rematch.

If this loss yields another year of Doke, I will take it.
I don’t think Coach has ever tried to keep a player from going to the NBA solely to advance KU.
Don’t give his number away, again, just yet!
The non-suiting up players squad keeps getting better.
I have to laugh when I think of posters that were so glad Vick left. And laughed harder when his Mom was going to talk to Self about coming back. Not a chance many said. From day one of his possibility of leaving I said to take him back if he wants. How many losses would we have this year without Vick? On to those that said we will never be any good as long as Garrett starts. Many would acknowledge his defense but said he couldn’t score. How many losses if we didn’t have Garrett?
For the record
2015-16 6 overall wins, 0 conference wins
2016-17 8 overall wins, 2 conference wins
2017-18 12 overall wins, 3 conference wins
2018-19 11 overall wins, 1conference win and counting
Isn’t that going in the right direction?
@Crimsonorblue22 : KSU has an RPl of 51. Not a victory over a great team, but a good win on the road and a confidence builder. First win against them since 2014.
Lady Jayhawks beat K-State 61-54 in Manhattan. Big road win.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Jessica Washington injury last year cost the team several victories.
@jayballer73 This is a good group of players. This a deep team with lots of seniors. Constant substitution keeps them fresh, out of foul trouble with zero sign of less focus or design. Great job by Coach Schneider.
KU ladies beat Washington State this afternoon down in Vegas 71-63. Lots of substitutions and combinations. Game wasn’t as close as the final score. 8-1.
