Lee, do you honestly believe any team could be as bad as KU? Honestly?
I'm curious what you boys thought about last night's game? Pretty hard to believe that's a #2 or even top 20 team if you ask me.
When Macey Grahm missed those two free throws on the late technical, it almost felt bad to laugh. Poor little thing, she couldn't even hit a lay-up last night.

Kyle, I would agree totally that they aren't the no. 2 team in the country. They will struggle unless they have another big man. I have another reason to be a Jayhawk fan, my daughter got accepted to KU with the goal of being a pediatric nurse practitioner. So I am going to be invested in that school (proud dad!). Can you tell me where Kstate ranked in football before Snyder went to Manhattan? I believe they were known as the worst D-1 team!

KU will win the Big 12 again, they will make at least the sweet 16 again, they will finish the year ranked in or near the top ten again... K-State hangs their hat on football, but they'll never touch KU's basketball success. How long before K-State wins a football national championship? KU threatens pretty much every year, you can say they fall short, but they're in the conversation. When was the last time K-State's football national championship chances were discussed on ESPN???

Basketball was not invented in Kansas.
2012, James. Apples to oranges comparing football to basketball titles though. Neither of KU’s modern titles came as a consensus #1 or #2, which you had to be until 3 years ago in CFB. If there was a 16 team playoff dating back 20 years or so in CFB it’s pretty conceivable the Cats would’ve played a roll in a handful.

K-state fans don't realize that if you leave the Midwest nobody even knows who k-state is, Kentucky state? It's not like the SEC or any major conference is concerned with them. State had some success in the 90's but haven't done anything since then. Congrats on the toilet bowl game nobody will watch or care about..

Boomer Sooner baby! Now on to the CFP Rose Bowl game to dominate another team ranked 3 on New Years Day. So much offensive production that I swear I saw Baker Mayfield drain a 3 ptr. too?
No “shocker” here as I knew all along this OU team was severely underrated. Sooners completely carved up the Shockers “play angry” defense. Sooners had more steals, more blocks, less fouls and less turnovers.
Most amazing thing about today was not that OU won, but how they controlled the game pretty much start to finish and Shockers got no closer than a two possession game. Second most amazing thing was how WSU seems to find an almost bald 20 year old white guy to play every year?
Look out Jayhawks ....Trae Young picked OU over KU so he could be on the team that breaks KU’s Conf. Champ winning streak.

Then again, I've done a little more reading... Dok is hurt, and he's their only true big man, Lightfoot is talented but weak. According to what I read, Dok's back won't get any worse, but he'll have to play through the pain, it's probably not going to get any better either. Until Desousa and Preston get eligible, it's gonna be ugly at times. Now I'm really glad we didn't bet on the Big 12!!!!

Other than Dok, it is a weak pathetic team. Average body weight around 160 lbs. They can't defend or rebound. We need bodies like the Morris boys and T Rob. Quit recruiting girls.

Weber cost Kstate dearly with those 2 stupid time outs. They were not going to review that out of bounds call had he not called time out with a 1:15 left. He should have saved them for the end of the game, it cost them a possession. Then he should not have called time out after the first free throw by Newman. Call it on a miss or push it to half court then call time out with about 12 seconds left. Stupid clock management.

Sickening, empty possession after empty possession, and all controlled by Lon Kruger. I have coached basketball for 30 years and would have immediately yanked Udoka after the first foul.

From: crestedbutte

OU doesn’t have to act like they’ve been there before. That’s why they don’t storm the court. OU vs KU games are “usually” closely contested no matter the venue. Therefore, I believe there is some level of mutual respect between the 2 programs....kind of like OU vs Neb football in the 70’s-80’s.

I get it. KU is a perennial powerhouse and it's a big deal to beat them... even when they have a weak team. Go to Youtube and search "storms court KU" and you'll find a nice selection of teams storming the court like they won March Madness.
I say KU has the best recruiting coach in the state, K-State has the best x and o's coach, and WSU has the best basketball coach in the state. K-State will never consistently be coached well enough to take advantage of the play calls, KU will will always have the best individual talent but they won't gel as a team, and WSU will never get the best talent because he will make them work hard and expect them to stay until they have a degree.

Bruce Weber X and O's < Bill Self X and O's
From: Catscratch
25-Jan-18
You think??? I've always heard that Weber was a genius with the X and O's of the game (when he talks at clinics and stuff like that). He just isn't that great at getting his kids to execute the details properly. Some of Self's game decisions seem questionable, but I'm not a D1 coach so I'm just pissing in the wind when you get down to it.
From: cherney12
25-Jan-18
When I think X's and O's I think about getting your team a good look out of a timeout or calling the right play at the right time. Self is great at getting easy buckets out of timeouts or on in-bounds plays. He used to do a great job drawing up sets that would get his big guys great looks when he still had good post players. Weber can't draw up a play to save his life. How many times have we seen a pick and pop for the Dean was at 23+ feet when we need one or two points and are in the double bonus? Our offense is hard to watch most of the time. Been making shots lately tho. Maybe he is great at it on paper...I don't notice it when watching them play, I guess. Hopefully he'll make a run. Has them playing pretty well right now.
From: Kansasclipper
25-Jan-18
X's and O's are offense and defense. Its also transition offense, transition defense, out of bounds plays, press offense, etc. Making adjustments during the game, out of time outs, etc. But it all starts in practice. Weber is horrible in all phases. Self is great recruiter. Marshall gets the most out of his players and win's with 3 star athletes. Rocky Lamar and Tim Swartzendruber are far superior to Weber and are 2 of the finest coaches in the state.
From: Catscratch
25-Jan-18
I think ultimately we agree on all this stuff, just have different ways of saying it. Self is great coming out of time outs. It's too bad he doesn't have more of them (except that with all the media time outs and coaches time outs the kids don't even have to be in shape... the game never goes more than a few minutes at a time). I get the feeling that Self's team will never gel this season. I love that K-State is winning games, and really love that WSU is doing well. KU just isn't very good this yr.
From: Kansasclipper
25-Jan-18
KU is very good, anyone who knows much about the game knows that. They are the favorite to win the Big 12. They are not what they have been in the past, but very good.
From: Catscratch
25-Jan-18
Do you think they will win the big 12 and be a 1 seed in March? I'm a KU fan so I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not impressed with their defense so far and I'm having trouble seeing them gel together and playing good team ball like they will need to for the string of wins they will need in March.
I guess "good" is a relative word. Of course they are good compared to most teams, but are they good compared their normal level of play? I think they're taking a step down from normal so that's not good.
From: Catscratch

On a side note... I'm loving WSU''s defense and rebounding!
From: Kansasclipper

Yes they will probably win the Big 12 and will be a 1 or 2 seed. They are vulnerable due to depth but also more than capable. They have close to 2 months to gel.

Let’s not avoid the elephant in the room shall we...who wins Big Monday game? Based on recent play I gotta lean K-State!

From: ksq232
26-Jan-18
As a KU fan, I'm just thinking about A&M right now. That said, I think K-State will win at Allen Fieldhouse West this year; but then again, I was giving KU about a 10% chance of winning at West Virginia too. One more thing, KU should have won at OU, they gave that game away. The play of Newman and Svi has been impressive, KU controlled the game until the end, even with Graham having an off shooting night. I think KU is playing quite well right now actually. I still think the kittens will win at AFW, because the "fans" will actually show up and cheer their team on one game and the place will be going crazy.
From: KSLand
26-Jan-18
Crested- Just giving you a hard time on OU storming the court. Saw those kids go out and found it funny and a little embarrassing for them lol.
As for the K-State-KU game, I would like to gear towards the Cats' but it's always tough to cheer for Bruce in a big game. Just never seems to get it done. With that being said, I do think they have turned their season around and have become one of the best, if not the best, half-court defenses in the Big12. If we can capitalize on turnovers and hit 40%+ from the field, I say we win. Just hope they don't overlook Georgia and lose an easy one before playing Monday.
From: crestedbutte

Horrible job by Weber. Not once did they screen the zone, no hi low action verse the zone, no penetration against the zone, and they never once went to the short corner.

I agree with Jeffy, however... I think the stripes set the tone in the first few minutes...but either way you can't beat a team shooting 70%.
We beat ourselves and Webber needs to G...O. How do you just decide to press with one minute left,when you've been down by double digits for hours?
I feel sorry for a Bradley, Bucknell, or Northern Iowa team if they think they can take these fellas!!

Still not convinced KU is all that good. They had a GREAT shooting night (which is a blast), but they had a ton of turnovers and are dependent on a big man that can't hit a free-throw to save his life. Their man-defense is weak; they let people past them on the perimeter and the big guys foul to compensate for being out of position.
It was a weird game to me. KU went to a 2-3 to protect their big guys from a team who was playing mediocre at best... and then K-State tried to shoot out of it (while having a terrible shooting night). Attack the zone like clipper said and then force them to foul you on man defense. K-State made KU look good last night.
The Bucknell's of the world should be drooling. KU's defense needs help, their big man can't hit free throws, they have tons of turnovers, and only play well when they are hitting from outside. I'm a huge KU fan and hope they change some of these things before March, but I certainly see issues that other teams will attack.

I see what you're saying cat, but while this team is built on the three, they have won a couple games this year when shooting pretty bad. Svi made a lot of his hay last night driving the lane, the improvement of Newman has been dramatic, and he is a slasher before anything else. Also, keep in mind, while KU's defense isn't up to it's usual level, they still rank 30th in the nation in total defense. KU isn't as good as usual, but they are still really good.

No depth and no size is KU's achilles. They can over come it in the Big 12 but not when it comes to NCAA tourney time.
From: Catscratch
30-Jan-18
I've never paid much attention to Weber's coaching before, but I'm now convinced I was giving him too much credit for making good game decisions.
KU fans are spoiled. KU wins a lot and has for a long time. With this in mind remember that when I judge their play it's though eyes focused on a championship run... and what will or will not get them there. Therefor I may sound harsh on them, but you won't win in March relying heavily on 3's, having lots of turnovers, and at the same time getting your non-freethrow shooting big man in foul trouble. It needs cleaned up.
And you are right about Svi driving the lane! I loved watching him split the defense or come out of a hesitation move to make an easy layup! Also loved all the backdoor alley-oops. And you were right about K-State fans showing up and dominating the gym. It takes a focused team to play in those conditions. KU has a chance and time to get there. They show promise in a lot of categories!
From: ksq232
30-Jan-18
We'll see; I think they are capable of a deep run. Some of that will depend on Desousa developing though. Mitch has been playing great lately, but he's way out of position when he has to defend a true 5. As far as depth, they go 8 deep in players that get a lot of minutes, that's more than enough for a deep tourney run.
From: cherney12
30-Jan-18
I thought the play of the game was a result of Self's coaching. KU started very poorly after halftime. Cats were on an 8-0 run to cut the lead to 5 and it felt like they were about to take control of the game. Inbounding the ball out of a timeout and Bill sends a double team to trap Barry Brown as soon as he catches the ball. He turns it over, leading to a couple free throws for KU and they settled in and took control again up 7 and never looked back... A bucket out of that timeout would have been huge and ole Bill had a trick up his sleeve to get the momentum back.

"The four-guard starting lineup has led to Kansas being ranked 30th in defensive efficiency at KenPom. From a ranking and a points-per-100-possessions standpoint, this is the worst defensive team of Self's career in the KenPom era, even dating back to his final seasons at Illinois." CBSSports
They were picked by 12 and down 13 at the half to the worst team in the Big 12 with an RPI of 119...
"the worst defensive rebounding team in the Big 12 allowed the Cowboys to grab 47.1 percent of their misses. That's a ludicrous number. KU's inability to box out teams on defense will be the defining trait that ends its season in the first or second weekend of the NCAA Tournament." CBSSports

The Wildcats deserve to be in the tournament. OU does not. It will be disgraceful if they are selected. 5 teams should make it from the Big 12 KU, Texas Tech, KState, West Virginia, and Baylor.

From: Catscratch
23-Feb-18
Writer, I was quick to say KU isn't good this yr. I didn't think they were playing good defense, was weak in the post department, wasn't shooting freethrows well, and relied on 3's too much to be consistent against good teams. I haven't watched many games lately so I don't know how they have done in those area's, but I do know they have been winning.
So have they fixed those things? Are they playing good enough ball to win on a night that they aren't hitting 3's? Is defense good enough to stop a team that has more than one good player? I sincerely hope so. Nothing would make me happier than a deep run into March!

Cat, I was referring to comments about OU and WSU being tops to others that say both are in the tank. Who knows what happens in the NCAA tourney? One bad game, or some smaller school shooting lights out and it’s over. Interesting what the worst coach, worst person in the world has done with such a shallow team. Self’s missing at least two blue-chip big men he was counting on to be studs this season. It’s a heck of an accomplishment they’ve made it this far.
From: Catscratch
23-Feb-18
Not much of an OU fan, but I really enjoy WSU being successful. They had a big win against Cinci the other night, and again showed that they "can" play with good teams. I hope the conference change works well for them and doesn't beat them down in the long run.
Sometimes I wonder what the hell Self is thinking (leaving guys in that can't defend or shoot free-throws at the end of a game), and then he strings together a 10pt run on a team.
I'm sure looking forward to March!
From: Westksbowhunter
23-Feb-18
Catscratch nothing has changed, same team doing the same thing. If 3's are raining they can beat anyone. Still not good on defense and on the boards. Doke has turned it on. Big 12 has faded badly. OU, TCU and WVU have tanked. WSU still top team in this state. But they all have a chance as there is no dominate team in the NCAA. North Carolina is my pick to win it all. The ACC is the best conference in basketball, just like every year. As far as the previous comments, at least people voiced their opinion, it is easy to come in and point out who was wrong towards the end of the season and after the fact.

Right now they are playing lights out. McDuffie starting to find his game now will make them a tough out. Defensively they don't have Baker and Cotton but they have size and shooting. And good shooting trumps good defense, just ask Texas Tech. KU is peaking at the right time for a change.

KU’s team is so different from what they’ve run out on the floor in the past. The Preston debacle has made them truly a four guard team, that’s why they’ve been getting killed on the boards. Seems like every year something has happened to a primary post player, last year Doke got hurt. I’ll never forget the sick feeling I had when Embiid went out of that OSU game. He was the most skilled big man in the country and he hadn’t even met a sliver of his potential yet. The difference this year is they are not only missing a big piece, they are incredibly thin at the post since Colby transferred last year — he’s playing well at Western Kentucky this year, but I bet he’s kicking himself for leaving. I can hardly believe what I’m seeing every game with 4 guards out there all the time. Maybe this is the year KU shakes it up and goes deeper in the tourney. Maybe they’ll be the ones shooting lights out from three for a change and knock somebody off. I almost wish they were going to be a lower seed this year.

Got a lot of press for it last year as well. Before that it was press for playing 2 point guards in 2015. Jordan Bell just dominated them last year. Basketball has changed. The days of Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Olajawon, Ewing, etc are long gone. Big men have to run the floor and shoot from the perimeter.

Since Kansas is a distant second to the best team in Kansas, the mighty Shockers. We can only wonder how many points the fightin’ Greggggg’s would have laid on the Cats. Who knows, maybe they’ll meet up next week?

Hey Kyle what do you say about this?
From: writer
10-Mar-18
Actually it’s a 15 game sweep if talking about consecutive post season wins over K-State. Think KU now has the most consecutive 25 win seasons in NCAA history. WSU could push it if Marshall stays around and they stay in that league.

WSU is quite the paradox for me, I like their team and how they play, it’s their coach that holds them back — not x’s and o’s, I’m referring to his antics and poor attitude. When he’s gone I hope they get another good coach, I just hope the next is a good person as well.

Lol Clipper, why do you think Texas never even looked Greggg’s direction last time around? He’s a great coach who has no social skills whatsoever. He lives angry and his wife is an embarrassment.
Btw, I know that if Greggg had gone to Texas, or goes in the future, look out. He would build a team on the court that would be right at the top of the conference yearly. I just don’t know if a power 5 conference school would put up with his antics.

They looked good in the second half, especially enjoyed watching Macey throw up gang signs when she made a 3. They won and that's what they're paid for.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that they might actually make a run at it this year...all y'all put them in to win on your bracket ...so I can take some more easy money again please.
Lots of good games today and it ain't over quite yet...

Hope Doke comes back strong, but we might be talking about him missing the big twelve tourney for a while. Desousa is growing up right in front of our eyes. Hawks are playing great right now!
From: Kansasclipper
10-Mar-18
Good win for the Hawks, tough loss for the Shockers. Houston is really good and will be tough in the tourney. The have big bodies, they defend, and have terrific guards. The 3 things you neeed in the NCAA Tourney. Marshall is a terrific coach, but he should have pulled Reeves and put in McDuffie. Reeves has looked bad for the last 6 games and Frankcamp did not offer much. KU looks poised for a good run, especially if Udoka comes back. The AAC could have 3 teams in the Sweet 16 if they are put in different regions. KSQ are you on the KU roster, because you always throw "WE" in your posts? Maybe the dance team or pep squad!

“Interesting” entertainment you search out, Sito. Is amazing to me all the positives coaches Marshall, Self and Snyder have brought to their universities and the state of Kansas. Not sure there are many states with three such on-going legacies.

“Look out Jayhawks ....Trae Young picked OU over KU so he could be on the team that breaks KU’s Conf. Champ winning streak.”
Guess that didn’t work out too well. Fast forward 3 months and Young is spending all day praying to God that they make it into the tournament!
My prediction is that the Big XII has one team in the Sweet 16 or four of them. If it’s one team, it might be one you don’t expect, like a TCU or KSU. Set the differences aside now, Go Big XII!
Wichita has put a lot of effort into the upcoming tournament this week. KU will be there and hopefully KSU or another nearby fan base has Wichita on their path. It’ll be great $ for the city and more fans to share a common bond.

Hey Kyle, kinda got lost in the excitement, I think you owe somebody a KBA membership for the year! I’ll let you do the picking, you’re used to it with your regular generosity. I was pulling hard for the Cats, I actually watched the game instead of listening to it like usual. They are going to be tough next year, you’ll be joining us KU fans for a bit wondering what might have been if Wade had been healthy. Joel Embiid getting hurt a few years ago still frustrates me, and Kirk, Wayne, Perry, Doke last year....the list goes on.

From: cherney12

Hats off to Bill Self and the team. Played really good defense. I can't imagine that it was Duke's gameplan to shoot 29 threes, but they couldn't figure out Self's patented post double and it made them so uncomfortable that they didn't even want to try.
From: hogthief
26-Mar-18
kind of confused as to why coach k couldn't figure out how to keep Newman from running the baseline and shooting open 3's from the corner. I guess he figured if he went that far out to guard it it would let Graham slash to the basket. I'm a great couch coach. haven't lost a game yet.
From: Kansasclipper
26-Mar-18
Hog Coach K was handcuffed in a "Zone" and refused to go man. If he had his players "hedge" to contest Newman, he then leaves Svi, Graham, and Vick open to shoot the 3's. He could have had his bigs bump Newman on every cut. Against Syracuse they extended the zone to half court but could not do that against a 4 guard offense. I just don't think you could beat KU by playing zone. I would imagine Bill Self licks his chops everytime someone tries playing zone.

Come on Sito, ethics and morals in cheering for a college basketball team? Don't make me spit my diet coke all over my computer screen. I cheer for an imperfect team; I would never tell my kiddos to be like Self, or the VAST majority of other college basketball players/coaches either.

That you guys are over here even talking about it when you're not a fan of the team, is simply hilarious to me. I clicked on Wah, Wah, Wah... thinking it was a baiting post from last year.

Damn Kyle that post must have hurt for you to go there...that makes my day!! If it all comes out to be true (and sure it is) I believe Self should be fired. The problem is there are plenty of other Bigtime programs, basketball and football doing the same thing. If the NCAA doesn't investigate and do their job they are wortless. If you think Duke, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Ohio State etc. etc. are clean you have to be an Ostrich!! Do I believe it is right, no! What I do believe is it is big money for Universities, Sponsores and TV, so these kids or their families need to be compensated someway. Some of you will argue that they get scholarships, but how many stay for 4 years or care about their education and graduate? So Kyle to answer your question do I have any ethics or morals, yes more then most of the people in the world, and have past that on to my children! But since you make assumptions of people by a few words on a forum (that is supposed to be informative about bow hunting) that you do not know personally, I question your ethics.

Nothing will come apart. The NCAA doesnt want to go down that rabbit hole. The Williamson deal is a prime example. If Kansas offered something and didnt make his top 5 what did duke offer. You could probably easily wipe out the Blue Bloods from the NCAA tourney which hurts the NCAA. I think its far more likely the NCAA as an institution gets its nuts cut by the power 5.
