@mayjay I forgot about 2018 apparently

I’m hearing Kevin is considering returning, not sure what anyone else has heard.

@wissox for sure Maui and the battle for Atlantis seem to be the big ones. The NIT is still there just don’t believe we have played in it since Roy was here.

Not to change the subject yet why haven’t we played in the men’s preseason NIT in so long?

Great win for the ladies, obviously wanted them to get a second straight NCAA bid but this with hopefully pay dividends for the program getting more practice for the younger ladies. Kinda the same thought process for the younger guys on the football team getting an extra month to practice.

@BShark experience pays off I think, a ton of upperclassmen on these final four teams. This year I think our starting 5 was good enough at times to make it but the bench was just full of swings and misses unfortunately.

Glad to see Texas lose, I would’ve been fine to extend the B12s FF and title game streak but F*** Texas ride on out shorthorns.

@BShark I think KU having a core of guys that had been around for 3-4 years or 6 lol with Mitch was huge. David and Jwil were the lone top 50 recruits on that team.

Rooting for San Diego I like Dutcher, think he is an underrated coach and Fisher was out there as well.

@BShark I see what you meant $$$, all it is anymore good or bad

@BShark I honestly don’t know that being a blue blood helps as much these days. BS has been quoted saying it doesn’t, it’s probably more about the $$$ than anything. I personally don’t think Tang and KSU can reproduce what they did this season either way.

KSU will get to hand pick their next PG with how Tang pretty much let Nowell do whatever he wanted within the offense.

Quotes like this is exactly why I cheer against them and why their coach calls them out for allowing us to live rent free in the their heads. My feed was blown up last night with staters asking when KU plays.I had to explain that in the tournament there are 3 national runner ups with no third place game and everyone goes home with the same bag of treats. I’d rather have our season than theirs because we at least won one conference title compared nothing for them.

They said coming in UConn had the largest margin of victory in tournament history at 21 ppg, that looks to go up even more. They haven’t even been challenged at this point.

I think I wouldn’t mind see Mark Few steal a title here. Doesn’t look good for them currently but I think he deserves one.

@mayjay the E8 game is the only round Self has a losing record in as KU coach. I think it’s one of the hardest games to win between a short turnaround and you know you’re playing a good team regardless of seed. If a team can make the elite 8 they can make the FF. Sadly the round of 32 is Selfs second worse win % getting dangerously close to .500. BS now has 8 first weekend losses as our head coach, which to be honest is ok if we get a few more titles I can live with.

@mayjay @Crimsonorblue22 I’m just happy to see an argument that I’m not in lol

@mayjay they did after they won the B12 in football

It’s funny to me because KU chokes every year according to them. 2018 they lost to an 11 seed in the E8 and now this year a 9 seed. If the roles were reversed they’d be blowing up the twitter and Facebook feeds talking smack.

Anyone care to join in Manhattan tomorrow? I figure I save time playing golf there, everyone knows they only have 14 holes, cause they can’t make the final four.

Hell ya!! FAU fear the birds

Gotta make the free ones

Come on FaU!!

It’s interesting how much the Texas money train doesn’t want Rodney to stay. I will say it’s hard to gauge from a stand point of him not building this talented team.

@Texas-Hawk-10 yep lost by 2 in Football either way hoping the ladies have a little better outcome

@Jethro @BShark there have been documented shady dealings in college basketball since the 1951 CCNY team. The difference is players getting paid, shaving points and academic corruption. I’m glad Bama is out but comparing such to someone being murdered is apples to oranges to the aforementioned stuff.

The ladies will be playing Sunday after noon against apparently our nemesis in sports Arkansas. FB lost the bowl game by one point and obviously the MCB lost by a point last weekend. Can the women buck the trend here?

I think a big would be nice to help along the youngsters a Tarik Black type (ran into him at BWW the year he was here was, great guy). Watching other games we lack so much in speed and athleticism, Juan makes up for it most the time with brains and defense. But out guys aren’t out jumping or beating anyone in a foot race.

@Texas-Hawk-10 not a complete one like Wessel at WSU hitting 4 3s against us or a couple of VCU guys.

@Zabudda that’s always the downside for Kansas people step up just to beat us. Always some guy that hasn’t hit crap all drains multiple 3s and what not.

@mayjay right but most weren’t alive at that time

I’d say the people cheering for KSU don’t live in this state or outside of the Lawrence area. I’d consider getting my armed chopped off rather than listen to them goons yap for the next 50 plus years about that one time they made the final four.

This KSU has the talent to win the title and that stinks

Ksu is gonna fart around and beat MSU. Nowell is okaying absolutely insane

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

@Kcmatt7 @TYOHawk New info. Sounds like the guard will only happen if a certain assistant coach isn’t retained by the new head coach at a school. Belief is said head coach wants an all new staff of his choosing. So things look good. If he portals, it’s KU.

Sounds like a Western Kentucky guard

@dylans yes that’s one of the issues with the college game these days. The 80s and 90s maybe even early 00s will always be a better era of collegiate sports. The games were better because guys understood the game better, stayed longer to develop and loved the universities they played for. That’s why I’ve always preferred college to pros. The emotion of game has always been higher compared to I made big plays so I know I’m getting a better contract or something. If it’s gets to the point of being more like the pros I’m not sure I’ll watch anymore.

@benshawks08 I don’t think you base that off of the first weekend in March. Now if they make the final four? Would absolutely change seasons with them. If they lose to UConn I’d rather have our season. I think it should also be noted they were unhealthy for a fair chunk of the season. They are probably 3 or 4 type of club if they have a healthy roster all season. I like winning the conference but really don’t care too much in reality because everyone will judge the season on March right or wrong.

@drgnslayr I think that’s a fair assessment for the most part. Personally thought this team was garbage defensively outside of Juan and Kevin. None the bench guys could guard Fort Knox to boot.

@BShark ya I know money has always changed hands but the schools had more power in the past to keep a guy. I agree and hold zero ill will towards any of the guys leaving. Hope they find a good spot for themselves.

I’ll shoot a 100% honest as usual. I was unimpressed with Kevin for 3/4s of the year. He came on late and showed some of his worth and we needed it to win the conference. You look at his numbers from Tech the last 2 years they mirror that of him this year. I thought he was much more athletic than he seemed to be here maybe some of that was his back. I thought the ball stuck so bad especially early in the year on offense when he was in the game. It was very obvious at the game I was at. Of course some it can be attributed to being new.

I’m not disappointed in who’s leaving so far, it’s like a job with the NIL. Players have to understand they fought for it to be that way but just like a job if I can find someone better for the same pay. See ya later that’s the dog eat dog world we live in.

@drgnslayr I agree, them thinking Pitino is funny in itself.

I think the shocker fan base and administration are high on themselves. Issac Brown whom is 2 years removed from the AAC regular season championship and coach of the year is fired for going 17-15 when half is his team left due to the lack of NIL Deals. They had former players come out and say that WSU gave them zip, if they had anything in place, they would’ve stayed. They expect a top 3 finish in the AAC and NCAA bid every year. I just don’t think that’s realistic playing in the AAC for them.

@BShark me DMing you

@BShark he better not be playing this offseason because our rivals are still playing while we are at home. Every radio station in the state is continuously jerking off Tang and the mild cats. One year of that Bull S is as much as I care to hear.

Izzo is so fun to watch this time of year, such a character

@kuballin10 I’m sure they ain’t happy but the difference is you and I had no control over what happened yesterday. I tell my son all the time there are some tests in life you only get one chance to take. The tournament is one of those.

@nuleafjhawk nothing wrong with being pissed off after the epic collapse that was yesterday.

Losing most of those guys doesn’t lose an ounce of production so there’s that

@Texas-Hawk-10 I personally feel like we are headed towards Ted Owens last decade of struggle. I think that group would have trouble scoring but would play defense and rebound well.
