Love how happy the guys are for Mbiya

Flory MVP for making Toppin his biotch though.

Alright fine, I'll take my 1st weekend exit glasses off. Now, I see your point.

I actually think the real indictment of the staff is they haven’t evaluated talent well enough in the NIL era.

Gone after big names instead of grinding the tape.

I thought they kept playcalling purposely bland to keep things hidden for next week.

I still hate the quick no huddle near the goal line when you don’t do that anywhere else on the field. Got a false start on that, and we’ll do the same thing 5+ times this year guaranteed.

Marshall was the right guy to start, but there were balls thrown that are turnovers against real opponents. He will have to be better next week.

Edward’s looks good in this offense and will break a few this year.

Defense was stout, but not saying much considering the opponent.

I expect us to do much of what we did last year against Mizzou. Play close enough all game, but just get warm down by the end. Need the offense to either score almost every drive or have a lot of sustained drives that eat up clock.

Looked like a 5+ win team to me though.

I HATE the switch everything defense. Causes us to rebound poorly and double team too much in the post.

Offensively I’m not sure we shoot it well enough to get much better. Offense for this group has to come from defense in a sense.

I still think they will get better as a team. But we are certainly not a good team right now. Incredibly lucky to not be 0-3 in conference play.

+16 with Mbiya on the floor and +11 with DP. The rest were basically even

Wahoo 6-0 silly to go for two but okay

They did it to waste Mizzou time to have to prepare for it. Nothing more than that.

Imagine being UK and firing Cal and sucking even worse

Only KU would have both QBs get hurt in one play

At the game - DP got up okay.

@kjayhawks2.0 said in KU @ Arizona St 8pm CT:

With this being our 9th loss and 4 out of the last 6 being Ls, who here thinks this team is lost and done? Bill Self in his first 20 years at Kansas had zero teams lose 11 or more games. This year barring the biggest miracle in sports history it will be 3 consecutive years of 11 or more games. Kansas has made it out of the first weekend but 1 time in the last 7 years. It’s time to ask difficult questions. The first one is should Bill Self be coaching Kansas going forward?

I can honestly say I hope he not is back next season. I don’t think he had the right mindset to coach in this era of college sports. Yes I’m well aware we won a title technically in the NIL era but it was with guys that were upper class men he developed here, not a team that returns 2 guys that have seen the floor every season.

Old Goats got one more in ‘em.

Also just look at Indiana, UK and UCLA. Only way you move on is if you have a top guy lined up like Otz. And even then no guarantees.

Kohl fits this type of junk game. Put him in bill

100%. This is a hustle game.

@Jayhawk_69 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

My guess is the last roster spot will go to a veteran, undersized, break glass in case of emergency point guard in the vein of Diggy and Ngala

I’m hoping that Bill is targeting an NBA Draft guy and has a contingency donor ready to pony up for the right guy.

My only complaint with this game is the secondary ticket market is absolutely ruining events like this. This game should be packed and it was maybe 3/4 full.

That guy needs to do more of that. No shot is a bad shot for him

Loved Mbiya guarding the inbounds there

DP needs to be the offense initiator.

Bright side is this team is pretty good without him. FF contender with.

Just get him healthy. He slots right in without the team skipping a beat like we saw against Mizzou

Welp that was fun until it wasn’t.
