Fans of other teams and journalists getting mad when everyone knew the rules beforehand is very stupid. Teams were leaving in their starters late BECAUSE margin mattered…

@Texas-Hawk-10 two really great gets, good chemistry + talent guys

The portal has been a positive this time I’d say. Two very good players and there is still a chance with JD. His wrist/hand injury was really unfortunate as I felt he was coming along a bit.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

@approxinfinity Tre White was someone KU recruited out of high school and I believe committed to KU at one point before going his odyssey. With Council, KU was initially looking at a different player at St. Bonnie’s, but ended up loving Council more.

Correct he committed to KU very early on in high school and it didn’t stick.

The staff received a recommendation on Lajae Jones (ended up at FSU, KU passed) and Council really stood out when they watched. I do actually know the guy that passed along with Lajae rec, not sure if I’d say friend but we are cordial with each other.

Where I’m at at this point in the season assuming we can get everyone healthy…

Starters: DP/Mel/Tre/Tiller/Flo

Rotation: JD/Kohl/Jamari

Everyone else is emergency only.

@kjayhawks said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Jamari>Elmarko by a wide margin at this point.

Yep, not close. Would much rather see Jamari out there. Once Darryn and JD are healthy we could ideally see Elmarko not play…

When do we find out when next game is?

Going to be a later one

“Final is 9:30 ET, third place game is 7 ET. Think Kansas is guaranteed in one of those”

Tre White 8.4 rebounds a game after the UNC game. #noticing

My apologies to Jamari he was fine today

@kjayhawks said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Ridiculous this is even a game, piss poor officiating. They just throwing up crap from distance but yet have way more freethrows than us going to the rim and they’re fouling on purpose the last 3 trips.

They missed a couple earlier that were just insane. One where Tiller got hammered and another where Jamari was discarded to the ground.

@Kcmatt7 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Trey White was always meant to be a Jayhawk.

Love him

@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Wow that’s an ugly FT

Kyle kid might have the worst ft shot I have ever seen

Brutal loss, disgusting

Who? Us? I remember you typing that in early April 2022!!

Doing my usual jinxing XD

Brutal loss, disgusting

Siiiiigh, good time out Bill.

@BShark said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Very bad line-up in right now

Got off of it VERY quickly. Thanks Bill.

Very bad line-up in right now

I’ve seen enough Elmarko for a lifetime

@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

@stoptheflop We’re not trying to get it inside to him.

For some reason the team seems to get bored with that

Two 0 second on the shot clock threes is so funny

Not sure about that travel tbh

Our defense against guard oriented teams has been very good.

Jamari is starting today

@BeddieKU23 I think Houston might just not be all that great from what I’ve seen of them a few times already this year…

@approxinfinity said in Darryn Peterson:

Bruh nobody talk like that fr. Bruh tryna talk like humin amirite? U talk funy u AI? Fr bruh.

Every other word out of the mouth of my friend’s son is “bet”.

@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Players who showed out today: Flory (duh), Tiller, except he needs to stop shooting 3’s even if the announcers try telling us he’s good at shooting it from out there. Tre White is surprising me with his toughness. Council has some surprising athleticism. Even the underachieving 11 and 13 guys played decently I thought and made a 3 a piece and played some nice defense at times.

ND should have stopped shooting 3’s. They weren’t even close on most of those. They weren’t a very good looking team to be honest, but it’s always good to beat Notre Dame in any sport.

Bill Self toughening box! Tre has been something else since the UNC game where he played pretty soft.

I hear you on Notre Dame. I can’t stand them.

@BeddieKU23 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Good enough to win today at least. Heavy minutes from the starters is the only concern for tomm

Yeah I complain about Jamari and Elmarko but they have to play in these games. Bench gave us next to nothing. Didn’t help that Dawson got hurt. Syracuse without their best player is a must win.

@RockChalkinTexas said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

I turned 70 last week. I hope we score at least that many and more today

My mom turns 70 next month. I am taking her out for a nice dinner to her favorite restaurant.

As long as DP comes back healthy we may look back at this stretch as critical. Tre and Tiller have really come along and Melvin had to learn and grow being the primary handler.

Flory 18/9/5/5 WOW

@BeddieKU23 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Bidunga staying out of foul trouble helps

Yeah our best player when Darryn is out

Yeah Tiller has been a wonderful surprise

@RockChalkinTexas said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Every time Flory comes out we suck

Jamari and Elmarko combo into the game at the same time as well. Immediately give up a run to ND.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

@BShark u ok?

What do you mean?

Two man game between Tiller and Flory has been #fun Vintage Bill

Council may never make a three

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

@BShark I think he’s tough!

Hopefully not a broken nose is the main thing.

@BeddieKU23 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

Ugly end to it. Had them on the ropes and now it will be tight

What happens when you play Jamari and sit Flory basically. Gotta keep guys fresh for this so I get it. Thankfully some weaker opponents to start and Syracuse just announced their best player won’t play in this event.

Need Tre White to be okay

@approxinfinity said in Darryn Peterson:

@KU-Guy said in Darryn Peterson:

@Layla Even if Layla is AI, I thought this was one of the better responses and wouldn’t mind seeing more of them. While AI can make some serious errors, when I Google a topic, more often than not, the AI answers are very helpful. Of course it’s always good to check multiple sources when trying to get an accurate answer.

Sure. Also, you’re banned for also being AI!

Dead internet theory is alive and well.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2025 Chiefs:

How about 8-3 Chicago! With Philly losing we’re now tied for the 2 seed

With a negative point differential and beating one team with a winning record at the time. That is wild to me. However I would love to see the Bears win the division just to see all the KSU/Packer combo fans suffer.

@benshawks08 said in Duke Game:

Flory’s athleticism is always what gets talked about but to me his footwork has been really good. His ability to get to the other side of the rim with an array of pivots makes him really hard to guard.

His handling has impressed me as well

@BeddieKU23 unfortunately Self has always been that way about injuries. The Duke game was all about Flory. KU won the Flory minutes but was -14 when he sat.

@BeddieKU23 the main thing is getting Darryn back. This team isn’t going anywhere without him. I’m encouraged by Tre and Flory especially.

@Jhawk69 For those wondering, he legitimately can’t be. He had two years of JUCO before two years in D1 so this is already his fifth year. He only got that due to the Pavia ruling.

This is simply a bad football team.

@Bosthawk said in Other games 2025-2026:

Yeah Maryland so far a very good fit for diggy

Notably he was going to play for Buzz last year as well at A&M but some things with his academics were in doubt which is why KU ended up with him so late in the process. Definitely a good fit for Buzz.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

Do you guys remember Luke Barnwell from sunrise in wichita? I was hoping we’d pick him when he left and joined Iowa’s staff. I saw his brother in wichita yesterday, he use to play on our team in the summer. He told me he would’ve joined KU’s staff if they would’ve asked. Wondered what you all thought? They’re a big KU family, and I think Luke did a great job at sunrise.

Nice guy not good enough for KU imo

KU women beat Missouri last night

I haven’t seen anything official yet but I suspect he will be out another 2-3 weeks

@BeddieKU23 said in Princeton:

He’s close to the worst guard that’s played here. Stats would agree too. Needs to go down a level

Agree. He was brutal today.
