This is fun, guys, thanks for letting me hang out with y’all!!! Great win!!! Rock CHalk!!

First timer here… how ya’ll doing? That was nice pick & roll by Dok! Let’s go Jayhawk!!!

@Texas-Hawk-10 No offense taken — just sharing my perspective here. Kelvin’s system might not be flashy, but it’s adaptable. It does blend motion offense principles with ball screens, and more importantly, it empowers everyone on the floor to contribute. Every guy is expected to defend, rebound, and score.

On the flip side, Self’s offense often feels too rigid — overly structured and built around one or two primary scorers. That’s exactly the issue: by building the roster to ‘complement’ a central piece like Dickinson, oh, now DP, you’re creating a hole elsewhere that never really gets filled.

I’d much rather watch a team full of solid, versatile, gritty, physical & athletic players who can all handle the ball and score — not just stand around while the system runs through a couple of ‘go-to’ guys.

Thanks everyone! Fun to watch & chat together! We’ll catch up again. Go Jayhawk!

Braun never sees panicking, or in hurry… that’s what amazing… yet he got all those rebounds, buckets…

Bryce looks legit.

Harris’ assist again! I think coach might want to play him as PG moving on.

Watching Harris HS highlights the kid seems super bright.

He’s wired with PG intelligence with accuracy.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in St Joes Game Thread:

This current lineup of Harris, Garrett, Agbaji, Braun, and Wilson is my favorite so far.

It looks like that.

Wasn’t Dave an all McD?

I like Wilson’s no fear spinning and driving.

Rebound by Braun saves us!

Smoothy Bryce!

@wissox Damn! I doubted myself reading @BeddieKU23 post. Flory is returning! This is the best news for Jayhawk Nation!

Stupid call, that’s ALL BALL… Sheeesh…

Braun can ball… I like this kid!

That’s a nice block!!

NOT in OUR HOUSE!!

5 freakin blocks by Dok!!!

Bryce has a great jumper!

@KirkIsMyHinrich Take off your mask, he can’t hear you!

@KansasComet Every game is important to me.

Takeaways from this game IMHO are: we’ve got potential to be a better offense team with a pretty good defense, can depend on contribution directly from our freshmen. I like the fact that we have shooters from many jumpers 2, 3 pts.

Dave should seek for more contacts. He’s a good FT shooter.

I see a better offense flow today, stats look better than yesterday. But those TOs have to shrink. For good.

David’s getting abused again. That’s definitely a foul, though.

As always, thanks for hosting and it’s been a great entertainment, folks!

That’s what Wilson can hurt other team. He goes deep under the basket and can still score.

Oh, so they’re just going to let him fall on his head? What a cheap call.

UK seems lost against our D in 2nd.

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Self has completely cut out Bryce today

ya he hasn’t given him much of a chance tonight

Bryce looks slower against UK fresmen.

Oh wow, now Ochai is posting up.

Ochai will be our scoring leader this time.

Harris’ got a nice pair of hands!

Wilson never stops moving!

I was gonna say, he’s walking in the park!

Their layups are smart ones, ours are all forced and we made them look more difficult than they should be.

@drgnslayr interesting take:

“2. Resolve coaching situation - I’m not calling for Bill to resign, but we need to acknowledge that something isn’t working properly. This became obvious this year. We were probably the most-experienced team in D1 but we played like a high school team. It was more than having a bad match of players. These guys didn’t improve at all this entire season and may have even gone backwards. An easy cop out is to blame the character of the players. Then explain why the transfers mostly had huge drop offs in their stats. This stupid idea that they just got spoiled on NIL shows an ignorance in knowing the psyche of players. None of these guys got to this level without wanting to win and having good personal pride. I’m convinced if we don’t have a change from this year’s approach, we are headed for the same thing next year, regardless of the talent we bring in. To win, our guys need to overachieve.”

I was a bit rude, and I got flak for saying our team resembled a high school squad, but I’m relieved to know I’m not alone in thinking that. It’s tough to pick up and adjust to new strategies when the coach refuses to budge. Looking back at 2022, some could say BS was the Hall of Fame standout. But let’s not overlook that Remy was the key factor in our victory. He’s not tied to the establishment. He brought a unique mindset that clicked perfectly. He did things on his own terms.

However, CB’s growth might suggest the coaching staff’s efforts paid off, but I’m skeptical it’s that straightforward or certain.

Nice deflection by Ochai! And 3!!!

how can that be a foul?

@BShark Cheap call…

WOW!!! LOB!!!

AND F1

@Woodrow Heck, we even missed layups… but we’re still in the game… let’s hope we can finish this one…

C’mon… slowly but sure, let’s harass WV, and win this one by double digits…!!

@Crimsonorblue22 Granted!!

Nice try, Ochai!

We need to box out better, pushing those bodies out…

@KirkIsMyHinrich He’s strong too, and it’s so freakin’ obvious on Doke, but yet, stupid refs didn’t call those push-offs…

F… travelling…
