@SlimShaddy54 Jesus loves K-State too. Probably. I guess.

@approxinfinity it’s the beginning of the apocalypse

1 and 2 year players?

OH! Juniors and Seniors!

@approxinfinity Will any teams do more with lesser combos? Yup.

@Zabudda the further down the line we are the better. #1 hasn’t worked out well the past couple of years.

@kuballin10 Sweet Sixteen, huh? You’re setting the bar pretty high.

@kjayhawks I agree. I’ve seen a couple of floor burns tonight. I almost forgot what that was. They may still lose. But they’re playing like grown men.

I wish this Houston team had “KANSAS” written across their jerseys

Any lawyers out there in KU Buckets-land? I was just wondering if we can file some sort of class action lawsuit against “you know who” to repair some of the emotional and financial devastation he’s caused in the past few months. Maybe we could hire Willie Gary???

@approxinfinity I’d do cartwheels! Jump for Joy! Praise God! Only half of what I’m worth would be a huge windfall

@approxinfinity nah. That was my sarcastic care

Care

@dylans I always congratulate my KSU people on their Livestock Judging Championships. A few of them are smart enough to know it’s not a compliment. A very few.

@BeddieKU23 The instant that you see them.

@wissox I’m sorry about your grandma and I understand your connection to the place. I’m talking strictly about the basketball team and i despise everything about them.

@BShark Not Amy more embarrassing than college sports in general.

@wissox Duke is owned by the Trump foundation. The trophy is already engraved.

That may or may not be true. But it feels true.

@Crimsonorblue22 I guess I didn’t know that was a thing. BUT - I’ve been protesting every day since he was elected.

Am I the only one who thinks they’ll never be able to retire because the psychopath president keeps trying to bankrupt this country? I mean, financially as well as morally.

@msanchez technically, it’s called "slow motion offense "

"Kansas, the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, lost to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the round of 64, becoming the second team in college basketball history to lose in the first round after beginning the season atop the rankings. The other team to suffer that fate was the 2005 Kansas squad. "

We have some work to do.

@Jhawk69 He’s no Len Dawson.

@rockchalkjayhawk I feel like Jim has been trolling this site and stealing my words.

@DCHawker You’re a top prospect. Do you want to go to the state of Kansas and play for a guy who seems to have lost his imagination. Who plays a boring brand of ball?

Me either.

@dylans Me too.

@dylans There’s a reason people write songs like this.

@DCHawker Yes, it is less. None of those schools and most other schools have never had the prominence and “royalty” that KANSAS had.

@DCHawker Because we’re not KANSAS anymore. We’re Kansas. Nobody is intimidated, nobody particularly wants to play here unless they have some obscure ties to the University or this part of the Midwest.

@BShark Oh come on now. A BEAST who averages 5.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game is worth at least 3 mil. By those standards, my boss will surely up my pay to 837 billion per year.

@SlimShaddy54 have you tried Honeycrisps? They could turn you

@SlimShaddy54 I appreciate what you’re saying, but I’m saying - what can these guys do for KU? I really don’t give a hoot about their NBA careers. And almost none of them - any team except Syracuse and Carmelo Anthony can boast a One and Done that really, really helps the team/program.

@approxinfinity Lol - You know what really helps? Having basketball season over. Well, over for us. I’ve actually enjoyed watching the tournament this year. Plus the Women’s teams - oh my - they play a much better brand of ball in my opinion. You know - weird stuff like passing, rebounding, free throw shooting - crazy stuff like that.

And, by the way…tell me I’m wrong about the OAD’s.

@SlimShaddy54 He will lead us to the promised land. Just like all the other complete legit packages. Shall I list them? I shall:

Josh Jackson

Andrew Wiggins

Ben McLemore

Joel Embiid

Xavier Henry

Gradey Dick

Josh Selby

Cliff Alexander

Cheick Diallo

Those nine players - highly regarded, smooth, fierce - whatever words you want to use to describe them did absolutely nothing to improve the program. Nor did any one of them lead us to a National Championship. You know who takes teams to NC’s? Seasoned veterans. Juniors and Seniors. So, I’m not going to put all my eggs in Peterson’s Easter basket because he won’t do any more for KU than any other person listed here.

@dylans I feel like I’m much less caustic…

For the few months he’ll be in Lawrence, I’m super stoked for him to lead us to an improved 22-12 record and a 4th place finish in the Big 12 next year. Sorry.

@dylans I’ll tell you why I don’t like them making money. Because I’m old and old school. In my world, college kids get free room and board, free tuition and a free education. That’s enough. It’s more than enough. Believe what you want to but money will destroy college sports. I’ll guarantee you that I’m not the only one who feels this way.

@dylans I watch the NFL also (mostly the Chiefs) and it doesn’t bother me. Why? Because they mostly have gone to college, got a job and are getting paid because they were deemed worthy to play in the NFL. College is different (in my mind) - they haven’t paid their dues. They’re just money hungry little punks, most of whom will never set foot in a professional sports arena.

@madmax The sky is definitely not falling for me. I officially am give-a-crap-less after this season. Let the little mini-pro’s do their commercials and take stacks of cash to the bank every day. I don’t care anymore. I will probably still watch sports - mostly teams that aren’t KU, because I have/had no emotional investment in them. Whatever happens to this coach, this “team” - not my concern.

I’m trying to clean up my language, so to all the KU players entering the portal - intercourse you and don’t let the door hit you in the hiney

Billy Boy doesn’t strike me as one who would like to bow out on a couple of flat tires. I could be wrong, but I say he sticks around a couple more years and rights the ship.

Have I mentioned how little I love the portal?

@dylans We won a lot more games when she was here.

@kjayhawks and he pronounces words very well!

Houston - SIX STRAIGHT SWEET SIXTEEN APPEARANCES

Not too shabby

@SlimShaddy54 it’s a fine line. Yes, he has 800+ wins. Yes, he’s a Hall of Fame coach. Yes, he has two National Championships.

He also has had three very mediocre teams since 2022. He’s had fairly boring teams who don’t seem to hustle much and don’t really seem to care when they lose. Hey, they’re getting paid so why should they care?

I’m sour on Bill right now, but to be fair, I’m sour on college sports as a whole.

Self to Texas would be like trading a Lamborghini for a Yugo. Texas is a football school. Nobody in the State of Texas gives a crap about basketball.

@kjayhawks I would regularly turn off the TV sound and listen to those two on the radio. Two fantastic announcers and two fantastic gentlemen. Also loved listening to Bob call the Royals games.

Aww. He was a great guy. He will be missed!

@kuballin10 Yup. I believe his best coaching days are behind him. Wouldn’t mind if he proves me wrong, but he’s been trending down (see how young and hip I am?) for several years now. I don’t see things improving unless we get some new blood.

The only thing I REALLY want out of this tournament is for Cooper Flagg to fall flat on his face. Literally and figuratively. I hope he face plants so hard at mid-court that his nose leaves an impression in the hardwood. Then I hope opponents start flying FlaggFace Flags. I hope it catches on so globally that every time anyone anywhere makes a blunder it will be known as a FlaggFace move. But I mean that in the nicest possible way.
