    • RE: What can Braun do for you?

      CB had 25 pts, 9 rebounds and 3 assists last night! Great game, but in a losing effort against the Pelicans.

    • RE: Team discussion after 10 games

      @BeddieKU23 Really good observations all the way around. Two additions: 1. I was hoping Harris would have taken a step up (like McCullar), but I haven’t seen that so far; he’s still solid and I like him, but I find myself wanting/expecting more; and 2. El Marko looks like he belongs as a starter now, a far cry from even 5 games ago; I no longer cringe when he has the ball; his speed is apparent and I expect he’ll figure out how to use it as the season progresses.

    • RE: Zeke Mayo

      87% from the foul line. That would be a nice change.

    • RE: Theyre not diamonds but theyre in the rough

      @ImmunoHawk Spot on. I taught law for years. I’ve been thinking the same thing. Sometimes you can’t reach a particular class. The changes wrought by NIL and perhaps generational shifts have created, at least this year, a cohort that in essence is further away from HCBS and the rest of the coaching staff and less amenable to their general approach and specific techniques.

      @mayjay yes, Allen’s chapter in Coach K’s book of cheating is “How to Cheat While Lying Down on the Court”

    • RE: Central Flaw rid unh-uh

      If we all were to block him, there would be no threads composed mainly of responses to him.

      Alternatively, do not feed the trolls.

    • RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread

      @BeddieKU23 yes, that’s horrible. Really feeling bad for Duke today. And Kentucky, while I’m at it. And Missouri (very sad).

    • RE: Jayhawks in the NBA -- 2022

      Check out Braun’s steal and dunk on a disinterested Durant from last night’s game. Great play!

    • RE: Arterio Morris is a Jayhawk

      If he were my kid, I’d be doing a lot of soul searching, but I’d want him to play for a disciplined tough coach like Self. Or at least like the coach I perceived Self to be prior to this decision—I’m still feeling my way around whether I need to alter my sense of Self. Also, I believe in growth and redemption, but a lack of contrition is a road block to that.

      Good point. And it seems he was allergic to them as well.

    • RE: The Future of Jayhawk Basketball...

      My sense is that Self plays players that work hard in practice (and in games), execute his system and play D. This means that the most skilled players may not always be on the court. Remy early in the season is a great case in point. It also means that older guys he trusts sometimes get more PT than newer guys who are more skilled.

    • RE: Power Forwards/Stretch 4s of the Bill Self era peak offseason pt 4

      Perry was skilled, but my main memories were lack of physicality and vertical leap that kept him from rebounding, rim protecting and dunking as much as I would like from a 4. Same with the Morii, as I recall. Also, it’s been a while, but shouldn’t D Arthur be higher. I recall him as very solid.

      I think we lost the VCU game the moment we ran through their huddle and lit their fire instead of ours

    • RE: Peak offseason part two- Combo guards and shooting guards

      Can someone refresh my memory? Was it 2012 SG EJ or 2013 PG EJ who dick punched an opponent in a losing effort (Michigan?) in the tourney?

      Mr. Mokeski is possibly the only KU player with an award named after him.
