Pat Forde at his best. Never a dull moment for the IDIOT
Bill Self (50), Kansas. Better make some hay before the posse arrives. As successful as he’s been, Self’s future would seem to be in doubt going forward.
Is he saying the school might fire him?

@wissox Can you imagine what it would have been like if they had ESPN and he played for DUKE ???

Missouri grad. Enough said!

@nuleafjhawk I was born the last year Danny was was here aka Danny and the Miracles he’s great but Idk if he’s the best.
-
@BeddieKU23 I was just making sure I was reading it correctly without the context of the article. Pat is a load of garbage
-
The same Pat Forde that was butt buddies with Rick Pitino? LMAO since when does that fool have a clue.
-
@kjayhawks The best is all pretty subjective. For me, Wilt was the best ever - EVER.
But, Danny was one of the best at KU for several reasons:
He was a great scorer.
He was a great rebounder.
He was a very good free throw shooter.
He was a good passer.
He had a great attitude.
He was smart.
-
@nuleafjhawk team player, humble, stayed around, not a brotherhood guy
-
@Crimsonorblue22 YES!!
I’m at work and got busy, but the 4 year thing was going to be one of my main points. Thank you.

He has no clue but CBS keeps giving him a platform so its our duty to call him out for it every single time. He’s straight garbage
-
@nuleafjhawk No question Danny would be in my 25 of all time great NCAA players. I think Wilt is the GOAT in the NBA, both guys are top 3 KU greats with Clyde Lovellette IMO. Crazy to imagine how much Wilt could’ve done with a shot clock.
-
Danny Manning has been described as the greatest college basketball player ever. He’s certainly in the conversation, because of all the characteristics mentioned above. But he’s certainly better than any player in the current era because nobody even close to his skill set stays in college 4 years. He was phenomenally skilled, smart, and by the 1988 tournament he had 4 years of playing experience under a hall of fame coach (Larry Brown). We won’t find anybody that skilled and well-developed in the NCAA again, until the NBA bumps its age minimum to 21 (which it would never do).
Danny may be less well known than others whose NBA careers were not cut short by injury. But as a college player in his 4th year, he’s hard to beat.
Greatness is a function of both skill and experience. The older I get, the more I value experience (as my skills in everything fade!).
-
@tundrahok u r getting wiser my friend! Stay humble!
-
Zion the greatest ever? Hardly. He’s good…but Durant is, and was, by far a better player and more exciting to watch. If Zion did what Durant did in the following, ESPN would be talking about it…FOREVER.
Also…if you go to 1:32:13 … merely a preview to “the shot” of 2008.
-
I just watched 2 replays of Northeastern and I’m not impressed. A 2/3 zone defense that’s easily penetrated with a drive. #12 shoots the ball quickly and only 3’s. #22 launches it from everywhere on his side of the court. #30 is the “big” guy who’s responsible for rebounds and doesn’t block out. The other big does the same every time he tries score…get ball in middle of paint…spin left and push in to lay it in with right hand. They’ll shoot 35 3’s…if they make 20…they have their one shining moment. I change my prediction. 23 point win.
-
Little trivia time guys - now without looking it up - can anyone tell us – how many 3’s has AUBURN attempted this yr? - -your just gonna have to take a guess DO NOT CHEAT - - lol.- -ROK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
For a frame of reference we shot 702 threes and our opponents shot 864.
@jayballer73 I know absolutely nothing about Auburn. So I’ll guess 500. And you’ll probably tell me they shoot a lot and not a little.
-
@approxinfinity 900
-
@jayballer73 I’ll guess twelve.
-
@jayballer73 1103
-
@Fightsongwriter hmmm thinking maybe you looked it up? - ya thought so lmao
-

Here’s one tip on picking a bracket upset. Rick Barnes has not made it past the first weekend in his last 7 NCAA tournament appearances which includes last year as a 2 seed at Tennessee and his final 6 appearances while still at Texas.

Please, please, please

@KUSTEVE Back from the wilderness, eh?
-
I love how the update says how much time between the last post on the topic. Makes me laugh because I hear it on sponge bob as “a few moments later”. Lol
-
@kjayhawks Hell I’m having a really hard time finding the beginning or the latest on any of these topics I click on the title and it shoots me clear back to the cave days early 2019, frustrating
-
@jayballer73 clicking on the title takes you to the last unread post and clicking on the right side takes you to the end of the thread I believe.
-
Man, I’ll tell you one thing, gotta be quick on your toes to post something when the game thread is real time.

I was just scrolling through Bracketology and the Bubble Watch for the first time this year. This is the worst I’ve ever seen it.
Let’s take a quick look:
Purdue 13-10- You have 10 losses, how are you currently projected in and it’s February. 10 of 13 wins at home. 4 wins against ranked teams at home. 2-6 on the road.
Wichita St- a projected #7 seed. best wins against 2 “last four in” teams. 13 wins at home (of 17) a #7 seed?, Ha
Indiana- #10 seed- 3 wins at home against ranked teams, losing conference record, 12 of 15 wins at home.
Michigan- #8 seed, 4-7 conference record, 3-6 in their last 9 games. A #8 seed?
Wisconsin- #8 Seed- 10 losses, 10 of 13 at home.
Arkansas- #9 seed- best win against Indiana a projected 10 seed.
They really going to let 11 Big-10 teams in?
-
WSU might have fallen off that 7 after last pm, the fans are a grumbling!

Even worse some of them were chanting “f ku” with 15 seconds to go after they hit a 3 and went up 2. They fouled Cincinnati on and-1 and lost.
keeping it classy I see
-
It’s gonna be such bullshit when Wichita is our 8/9 and Michigan State is our 5 seed.

Neither team could beat KU this year
-
@BeddieKU23 Wichita could easily do it. They are a good team.
-
@BeddieKU23 I heard they did that. Did u hear them?
-
@BShark not so sure, they don’t have anyone as quick as dot. Fans aren’t happy w/Marsha, thinking nit.
-
It’s gonna be real interesting to see who gets the 1 seed in the East region this year. Baylor appears set to be the 1 in the south, KU has a good road to 1 seed in the Midwest, and SDSU and Gonzaga seem pretty well locked into the 1 and 2 seeds out west in whichever order. I just can’t see both of those two ending up as 1 seeds.
That 4th 1 seed out east should be interesting to watch between Duke, Louisville, and Dayton as a dark horse. I could also see Dayton ending up as our 2 seed in the Midwest.
I personally hope stuff happens that puts KU in the South regional since that’s in Houston this year and I could go see a KU in the NCAA tournament in person for the second time. My other time seeing a KU tournament game in person was the 2018 Final Four against Nova in San Antonio. I would highly recommend going to a Final Four at some point if KU makes it or even if it’s within driving distance because the atmosphere was amazing with all the non basketball activities going on.

I haven’t seen that from them. I watched last nights game and thought our guards would eat theirs alive. They defend pretty well as most Greg teams do but I think our defense would really bother them. Just IMO
-
@BeddieKU23 can u post it here?
-
I’ll try and find it

The In-Season NCAA Bracket reveal is tomorrow at 12:30. Believe they are doing the Top 4 seeds?
