1.) I am in Nebraska and CBS told me to go to the website to watch Kansas v Baylor, the site did not play anything. After commercial they came to the start of the Kansas game and said to go to the website to watch the end of the Auburn and Tennesee game…Never had that happen before.

1. Greene is so long. He is legitimately 6’7 6’8 and has length…I love Svi but Greene jumps out at you like he is in 3D on the tv. Svi looks like he is thinking too much out there still. Greene just does his thing.

2. The box score of Iowa State and Oklahoma showed 7 played for Iowa State and 8 played for Oklahoma… We could play 10 and have no dropoff, we could play everyone but walk ons and not have drastic dropoffs.

3. Mason and Graham have really freed up Selden to do his thing in the wing, and the light came on as well. He is playing ridiculous right now.

4. We were breaking ankles without dribbling, Baylor players looked like they were watching a tennis match the way we moved it at times.

I am excited. We have a crazy good offense and we will play Self Defense by March. We really got a good shot this year.

Self went with Bragg in the second half of the Harvard game was it? Hunter has been starting lately, Traylor got the nod the other day in crunch time. Lucas has been used in spurts and Diallo has been thrown out there. I do not see anything changing, I think we have 3 serviceable big men with different skillsets and then 2 uber talented freshman bigs, it should all work out fine!

I think back to our title run, when a bench big named Cole brought it to Hansbrough… Sasha in the Davidson game saved us…

They will all get a chance to show they belong out there. Self has said often none have really separated themselves. Nobody disagrees Bragg and Diallo may have the highest ceiling of any players on our roster, especially Self.

He wants them to be good, if either or both get it by March, watch out. I imagine Bragg or Diallo will start by the middle of conference play if the lights turn on, but rotation aside, we will still see the C5. Foul trouble, particular matchups, will bring out Lucas, Hunter or Traylor for sure.

Ill take a championship and the attention from it causing Diallo, Selden and Svi to get drafted after shining in the Final Four!

I think it will be a great year.

Ellis looks so quick. I think he can get experience at the 3 while Greene is suspended…

I did not forget Mason is a warrior.

I think come March, Bragg and Vick will be ready. I like what Hunter does out there. Traylor is good in bursts.

If Svi and Devonte come along and Selden can be more Jekyll than Hyde, our guards look good.

If Diallo can play…

Bring it on!

I am gonna try and be a new age KU fan like a lot of posters and commentors. FIRE BILL SELF. We are only up 20 halfway thru the first half in a meaningless conference game against a ranked opponent and Diallo has not checked in yet.

FIRE SELF. This winning handily stuff is terrible, play talented but unready freshman please.

No matter what happens in this game, we did not win a title today so FIRE BILL SELF.

Expel Hunter, Traylor and Lucas from KU, play Diallo and Bragg only. FIRE BILL SELF

Nic Moore being a spirit member of this team is a great way to describe how I feel about him too. Thanks for articulating how I feel, ha.

SMU is on a postseason ban and Nic Moore is still playing his heart out over there. I hope they go undefeated.

@SoftballDad2011

It seems like everyone forgets Self just had Wiggins and Embiid, a top recruit will come to Kansas again…

@justanotherfan

Why does Self always get heat for hating on 3’s, a lot of our end of half, or end of game plays, or when our offense is struggling, usually involves getting a good shooter open for a 3…

Thanks for fighting the good fight jaybate.

I am happy to have Bill Self as our coach. I do not understand who people would want to replace him with… Coach K and Calipari are not coming…Izzo is not coming. Do they want some unproven young guy? One loss and that guy might be lynched…

Be careful what you wish for. Here in Nebraska they canned a perennial 9 win a year football coach, because of similar sentiments about competing for titles, then had a historically bad year, were 5-7, and lost to PURDUE…Do not be so entitled. Be grateful Kansas is your team and you have an elite coach…

Coach Self may not be the best X’s and O’s coach, or the best recruiter, but he is good enough at both that he is in elite company…Only Coach K might beat him out factoring in both aspects…

Also, keep in mind the athletes are amateurs, I understand going after millionaire coaches, they deserve it. They are men, they are 40!! Let us lay off the kids a bit. If you ever played sports, you know sometimes you just lose. You get beat, it has nothing to do with lack of desire, or lack of preparation, or that you do not care. That is what is so appealing about sports, anything can happen…Only ONE TEAM in every sport wins the title. Should thousands of coaches be fired every year across all sports?.

When we lose, I get down, I cannot watch ESPN for days…I kind of go on a media embargo until the next game…I get it, you are passionate fans. No reason to be internet tough guys about it. IF you are going to spout ignorant nonsense, go on a media embargo yourself…

Me, I do not quite trust Selden yet, but I root for him because he is our guy…Why trample on these kids.

@Crimsonorblue22

A few reasons for the moniker. It is a nickname for a character in a novel called Trainspotting, who is an example of athletic talent wasted, which I can relate to all too well.

I was also second born of fraternal twins.

I forget at this moment other reasons but there were more, ha.

It just funny, it silly. Spastic fans. I guess fan is short for fanatic.

Bill Self has got a raw deal from some of you all from the beginning.

Some of guys do not deserve a title until 2028, Teach you some manners.

Self should win a title this year and walk. Then take over at Duke or Kentucky someday and bring his team to Allen Fieldhouse and roll you. That is what some of you deserve. Teach you some humility.

Do you know Julius Caeser was once kidnapped by Sicillian pirates and ransomed. He was insulted by the ransom, raised it. When it was paid and he was freed, he raised a navy, came back, and killed them all. I hope you guys drive Self off.and he repays you in kind for the insult.

Yankee fans can feel entitlement at least, it not a false entitlement. 29 titles. Montreal in Hockey can feel entitled, title after title.

Show me all this rich history of championships and titles Self is not living up to. He has 1 and been to two finals. We have 3 total? Are you kidding me. We went 20 years without one until he came.

I would kick everyone off this team but Diallo and Bragg. They are the only OAD or projected OAD or close enough. Sophomores and Juniors and Seniors are worthless, they did not get drafted so chuck em away.

Self should get rid of projects like Mason and Graham, and replace them with 2 OAD.

Selden should be told to pack his bags and go home because he is a Junior, he is not a OAD.

Svi, Greene, Ellis, all should go. They are not lotto picks. Replace them with projected lotto picks and OAD’s

FIRE BILL SELF.

This whole argument is because you have this entitlement that you should win titles every year or it is a wasted year.

I have been a fan since '92. Point to all these examples of championships we have won in that time. Tell, me, in Kansas history we have 3 championships? What exactly are you pointing to when you voice this entitlement of being a perennial champion. Every year we are competitive. Our conference streak, national tourney appearence streak. Our consistency, with luck, any year Kansas could sneak through. Every 4-5 years we have a real real good chance. That is life, get over it.

Self has won one championship and been to another. Have some faith and some appreciation, how many titles did you see before Self in your lifetime? 1? Some of you are of this awful instant gratification generation. Learn some respect. Have some perspective.

Self hates 3’s so we not shooting any, will not play freshman, Bragg is in the game but I will ignore that.

We are not taking enough 3’s, if pnly BILL SELF LET US SHOOT 3’s. FIRE BILL SELF

I think Diallo and Bragg will play some. It will depend on matchups and he will have a short leash I am sure because of our experience in the other 3 guys.
