Wait, KU is playing?
-
Timeout jayhawks, Fran is excited!
-
Team forgot the 2nd half was starting
-
This is the Colorado run we all were not expecting but not surprised.
-
We can dig it
-
Coit came to shoot
-
Hot diggi3-dog
-
Lmao dude is absolutely bodying Flory
-
Wow ok. Flory getting wrecked. Get KJ in there!
-
This is not confidence inspiring.
-
Juan looking good in transition
-
Passmore should’ve passed more, maybe he’d have been in more than 6 seconds.
-
Why doesn’t Hunt look to score when he gets it in the middle of the zone?
-
If CU could hit wide open 3s they would be winning rn.
-
Is Harris our best slasher?
-
This is a really weird game I feel lucky we are still winning
-
4 players with 8 and Hunt with double that.
-
Colorado has the #10, #18 and #42 nba draft picks in 2023-2024? Dang Tad
-
Is that Karl Malone’s son?
-
@approxinfinity they are definitely in full blown rebuild mode, hope they give him a few years
-
Pretty inept offense. Hopefully they hang on
-
@wissox he’s big. 6-10 268lbs. Probably more like 290
-
Griffen 2-14 from 3 last 3
-
Just 22 pts this half at the under 4. Not what you want to see at home
-
That was a nice inbounds play.
-
KJ is doing well tonight.
-
A win is a win. Not an inspiring one but they all count the same.
-
Danny Manning in the handshake line and does ESPN show him? No of course not.
-
@wissox I don’t get it. Why? I thought he was a HC of some colleges, never knew he’s with Boyd.
-
Like I said at this point we have to celebrate every win we can get even if it is against a team that won’t even sniff the NIT. Until we get different players and shake up our staff. So Ya!!! Got the W
-
Just Curious , hoping someone can tell me the answer. How did this team ever just dog stomp UCF by what ?- -51 points ? – watching this team play just don’t know how that ever happened and on their home floor. I know UCF is no dominant team , but they are not total trash either. - -Just watching this team that’s on the floor now just amazes me how that ever happened.
I mean seriously where is the flow to the offense ?- -where is the rhythm - sorry to say but it sure just looks like that we really struggle to score, this offense bogs down - -choppy, seems like we have been getting ourselves deep in the clock and then in the end are forced to throw up some hard contested three or just a wild shot. I think if we are honest with ourselves we would admit that right now it’s hard to watch these guys - -painful- -just no flow what so ever.
Franny made a comment about Dickinson during the game saying at one point " That’s what you will get from Hunter game in-- game out talking about him scoring right around twenty per game-- -that’s very true BUT what you can also count on practically every game is his liability on the defensive end,- Every game just getting Schooled by a man driving right by him for easy scores -just getting torched on D - makes it really frustrating,- - So in the end what’s happening with him is - - Yes he scores the ball but negates all the positive from the offensive end by all the negative on the defensive end, so actually zero effect from him-- Boy wish we could get out and run like wild horses looks so much bette. The offense we are running now just looks stagnant
-
I can barely watch this team now. Might as well play Hunter at half court. Their offense is a big mess and their defense is hit and miss. I’m hopeful Hunter can prove everyone wrong and hit his second trey in B12 play before the year ends. That will really make my year! I’m so grateful we eeked by the 0-12 Buffs. But you know, everyone brings their best game against us.
-
Self needs to go back to the defensive focused line ups with Moore starting and letting him guard the other team’s best perimeter player. That defensive intensity Moore brought is what fueled KU’s best stretch of the season. I don’t care if that means the offense struggles to score 60. This team isn’t good enough to play up tempo against good teams. Slow the game down, make it ugly as possible, play the race to 60 game, and give yourself the best chance possible to beat other good teams.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Dajuan / Moore / Mayo / (Bidunga/KJ) / Hunter then? Bump Rylen?
-
@jay4ever He’s an assistant coach for Colorado. Thought seeing him in AFHS might be more of a story line than what they made it.

Hate this type of ball but since we screwed up the “guards” who transferred in this is the best option - spot on
Want it on record t-hawk and ballin agree
-
@drgnslayr D2, Moore, Griffen/Mayo, KJ, Flory
3 good defenders, 1 decent when he is not tired, 1 bad defender
-
@kuballin10 i think our offense is too anemic with Hunter out. But would be thrilled to be wrong
-

Harris, Moore, Mayo, Adams, Hunter with Flory rotating for Adams and Hunter, then Griffen and Storr for Mayo, whoever the hot hand is, and Coit for Harris and Moore.
The goal would be to have 3 of Harris, Moore, Adams, and Flory on the floor together as much as possible.
-
@approxinfinity I don’t disagree but he scores 20 and gives up 25
Analytics claim he’s good defensively but per film and just watching the game that isn’t backed up
Zags torched us last year and any team can on pnr right at him and d2
-
I liked Adams effort last night. Looked the most healthy he’s been since the injury. He’s making some effort plays like tip outs on offensive boards and some defensive plays that nobody else is really doing. Had 5 dimes as well. The energy plays are where he shines most it seems.
Would take last nights game from him and bottle it up every game. That’s what he can continue to do for this team
-
Wondering if what comes easy to one guy and requires effort from another to replicate does not make the latter a better player.
Unfortunately with slothrocious defense for 30 min a night from our 5 seemingly a given, one must choose between these 2 at the 4.
-
One thing from last night that was negative from the game that stuck with me. Passmore getting the quick hook in the first half after a 3 attempt. Just not sure that’s a conference builder for a kid who’s seen limited time due to depth at his position and being a freshman. You gotta give him a chance to play some possessions and learn.
-
I think Passmore is gone for next year. Kid would have to be nuts to stay here. Another victim to the strange distribution of minutes here.
I’ve been happy with KJ last few games.
Self’s million-dollar question: how do we get consistent play from any of these kids today? I know it’s something common everywhere in college basketball, except a few teams are more consistent.
We all scream at players for making too much NIL… Is it possible the NIL creates a lot more chaos in their lives?
-
@drgnslayr I have to agree I think Rakese is gone, dam shame really wasn’t given a fair shake - never got to play extended minutes, I actually thought he would of been gone already, tough kid I think he will land some where and be fine
-
I believe he’s been out for 3 weeks, 2 hurt and last week flu.
-
How many People genuinely expected Passmore to come in and be a rotation players from day 1?
He came here knowing he wasn’t likely to be in the rotation as a freshman. Passmore 100% fits the mold of a role player. If he’s not patient enough to wait for his turn, then is that a player you really want?
He absolutely reminds a bit of Travis Releford. A guy who’s projected to make most of his impact on the defensive end of the floor, but will have the ability to get to basket and make some 3’s later in his career.
Can we please get rid of this notion that a freshman has to be an instant impact/rotation level player otherwise they will or should leave? I can just about guarantee that Passmore wasn’t guaranteed minutes from day 1 and that he would have to earn them.
Even in the limited minutes he’s had this season, he hasn’t good. He’s got a PER of 1.9 and 35% turnover rate. Passmore will be a good player in time, but it was never expected to be this season.
-
Yeah unless there are major rumblings about a player being unhappy, I’m not going to put too much stock in speculation of who is gone and who is back. Every comment here over the offseason was that Jamari was going to be gone and he is still with the team.
-
Passmore basically gets walk on minutes. He isn’t even a role player. A hundred miles from a Travis Releford. He can’t be judged when playing 1 or 2 minutes every 5 or 6 games. I never thought he was ready for rotation minutes… but he’s not even above walk ons.

Releford wasn’t a rotation player either as a freshman, and had several DNP’s that year and then redshirted his 2nd year. Obviously, I’m not comparing 1st year Passmore to 5th year Releford, but that’s the player comp for Passmore. That’s what Passmore can eventually develop into if he stays at Kansas. And no, you don’t need to see exclusively his KU film to see that comparison.
-
I just hate how he get pulled after one mistake and we go back Bill playing favorites. Some guys can get away with some pretty silly plays as long as they are Bills pets. The more he does that and the more Flory sits on the bench, the less recruits will be interesting unless they are already on draft board. Remember how Self rode freshman Grimes coat tails for 30 minutes a game tho he stank up the place more often than not. Feel like their needs to a happy medium
