Anytime you have 15 assists with 1 turnover from your starting guards-- out rebound your opponent by 6-- shoot right at 50 % for the game your going to have a good shot at winning the game

just reading from Arizona site, and the Article said that Arizona’s most likely would be KU again as KU earned the 6 seed but KU would have to beath the 11 seed in Wednesdays game to meet Arizona again

@FarmerJayhawk Agree really glad to see these three go out with the W

@BeddieKU23 If we can just play solid pretty much like today I think we can win some games yet

@DCHawker Over all grand scheme of things I thought these five played pretty good today

Really good win for the guys today, So glad for the Seniors- -all three was fine , I know , I know not a lot of subsitions today but I don’t give a dam – those five played pretty fgood

@webjay We win this great way for Hunter to cap his time here for sure

ZEKE - - ZEKE - -ZEKE - -with a HUG , HUGE 3 pointer, finish this guys

we have to pull this out, having lead most of this game-- would be very disappointing with Dickinson’s game and Mayo outbreak

What was I saying earlier about hoping Zeke could just bust loose today ?

A guy that shoots- - 29 ?% from the three on the year is killing us today. Seems like this happens a lot - -when some clown has a career day against us

you have to get someone besides Dickinson score the ball in this game

I’m going to stay positive today, they not gonna give this game up-- - were going to win this dam thing

@Zabudda LMAO - - AJ - - AJ ? - -lol , ummmm No

Do they or Do they not take time to practice free throw shooting ?

Wish I had a little more confidence for the 2nd half, played decent 1st half just got to be solid 2nd half

Playing well only turned the ball over 1-2 ?-- -looks a lot cleaner

Glad to see Zeke be a little more loose today - -get that stroke going

Fill it up Hunter - - nice pass Zeke

Sure would be nice to see Zeke just go off like early in the yr – lost confidence

Mayo was clobbered

We riding that adrenalin the first 4 minutes

more then likely we will go to ESPN News

@approxinfinity I think we win today— - -73 - -70

@approxinfinity nobody said there wasn’t – I’ll just continue to side with Coach as he has had way more accomplishments then bad, proof is in the pudding-- make mine Choclate

Found this take from a thread pretty dam solid. Couldn’t be said any better,-- -Coach Self has Coached the exact same way for 22 Seasons. Many really good players they said had all survived Coach Self and they have admitted being a lot better off for it. All survived his tortuous system .Many of the players love Coach Self and they attribute much of their success to Coach Self . -Frank-- -Devonte- - -Brandon- - Mario-- -Sherron - - -Ochai - – Doke- -Christan- - Svi - -Landon - -Thomas- - TyShawn —Darnell-- -Saasha- -& Jeff -ALL appreciate Coach and his achievements and Coaching

Like the post said most of these guys didn’t have this dam NIL like these guys today do , So when some of ush hear the bull shit about how Coach Self is to hard on his players, it makes a guy think back to all the really good players who would say to that- --would be - -F - - - off

Players like Storr feel like Coach is to hard , to tough on him- -life is a bitch sometimes can’t handle the mental toughness ?, this is a mans game, with a mans accountability- -& Storr has done nothing-- showed nothing, so why the hell should he be put on the court even more-- -GREAT TAKE

Dam , KU now is - -12-- -1 on the Season , beating Milwaukee today in a pounding 21 --3. I know competition hasn’t been the roughest but you put up 21 runs on anybody is pretty Dam good. They have a pretty potent line up top to bottom , they can Score some runs for sure. They are predicted to finish 9th in the Big 12 , ww will see how they end up , but a really good start.

Tale of todays game :KU scored 8 runs in the fifth hit three home runs in the fifth. sent 13 batters to the plate in the fifth & Milwaukee pitchers had to trough 52 pitch’s in the fifth.-- Ku got 8 straight hits in the fifth

Then KU promptly turned around and scored - - 5 runs in the sixth, sent 11= = =batters to the plate and Milwaukee pitchers threw 45 pitch’s

Then in the eight-- KU scored - - 4 runs-- sent - -8 batters to the plate and hit another home run.

KU hit Five Home runs on the day-- Line Score Ku was - - -21 - -runs- on 25 hits - -and hit --5 Home runs, play game three of the four game series tomorrow in Wichita

Here is my biggest concern for Darryn , what I’m afraid of. That is there is a lot of people including myself to a degree, to many people have already set such high expectations for Darryn coming next year , that as good as he is he is not going to meet some of those expectations.

Now while the kid is a Stud , there are a lot of Studs playing the game in College and some Studs that have 2-3 years of College experience. I have read countless things people have said , and with the way the Season has played out I see things said like OH we need you Darry- -we need you now , come save us and so on. If he comes in and doesn’t get the things done that people are expecting then many will consider him being over rated bust , and that’s just not fair to Peterson.

Bottom line is no matter how good he is and he is dam good , but no matter how good he is, he is still what a 17-18 yr old Freshman getting ready to play his first minutes of power P-5 ball ? -What people need to remember is if he doesn’t get everything done that’s on peoples wish list like automatically taking us to the promised land doesn’t mean squat -he will already be carrying a ton of pressure on his shoulders trying to preform and knowing he is under the microscope and everybody watching waiting to see that SPECIAL play.

We have got to just temper our expectations right now- -don’t think he is a bust if he has a off game or half --or if he ends up not what in your mind us good enough- -That is one thing you don’t have to worry about - -he is good- --real good , but let’s let the kid play his game , he is going to do really good things BUT let’s hold off on the Super mans Cape for just a minute or two - -he STILL is a youngster, and even as good as he is-- it is still an adjustment.- -I just hope we keep a level head and if things fall short in a game or two, well everyone - -even Studs have off nights- -The Kid IS SPECIAL- - REAL SPECIAL but also there are other SPECIAL PLAYERS PLAYING THE GAME let this kid be a kid, he loves the game-- and oh ya WELCOME DARRYN glad you a Jay Hawk- - -ROCK CHALK

@BeddieKU23 not xure how true it is but have heard Calderon may not qualify

@kjayhawks I just think we should hope for Rylan to come back, he probably won’t but just think you would see a whole different version of Rylan , he would have a year of experience under his belt , kinda more comfortable with the system, we can use his outside presence, he has shown flash’s --, then I’m all over Diggy, somehow got to get him to come back. Think chances are pretty good there, adds good bench pint production good off the bench can give you that lift, scrappy , has confidence, doesn’t get shell shocked if he doesn’t hit first shot.

One thing that was thrown for us when I played, was this thought :- - The difference between a good shooter , and a great shooter.-- - A good shooter takes a shot or a 2nd shot - -they don’t fall , then he is pretty much done - -A great shooter he shoots his first , second shoot they don’t fall-- he just keeps shooting because his belief is all his shots are goin in- -has great Confidence.- would really like those two back

listened to the Could be wrong KU podcast today some interesting lil tidbits/quotes , they all seem to agree Diggy for sure is the spark kinda of interesting , but yet thing mentioned , they said Diggy can always get his shot , no matter where- - they said the question becomes how can a little 5’8 guy get off his shot all the time and others struggle so badly?

Now here is something to chew on, can be Good and then also bad , and that was- --We ? KU gave to Houston- --THIRTY SEVEN extra Chanes to score the ball , meaning they Houston had Thirty Seven my opportunities to Score then KU---- from 17 – Houston offensive rebounds-- & 20 - -KU turnovers.

So think about that for a minute – - those numbers are not acceptable-- -that’s bad thing- -the good thing from that ?- -we gave that many more chances up and STILL only lost by Six , we had a chance to the very end to win that. – -Good thing. play that poorly and still have that chance in the final minutes

They Talked about how Dickinson was getting the hell beat out of him every trip down the floor and nothing being called. They was talking about KJ and how he really going up and of course you not hearing near the Calls for Rylann taking more of KJ/s minutes now – KJ just brins his lunch pail every night, does the firty work.- - -KJ did a great job on Roberts last night— KJ didn’t play against Houston last time. - - KJ last three game-- -15 points - - -21 pints - -% 13 rebounds- -and last night - -15 points- --& 9/10 from the free throw line.

They also brought out a very good possible point/thought. They said this ought to tell you something ,- -here we are on March 3rd and we have a Freshman RaKease on the floor playing more minutes then your portal guy Rylan Grifin-- sure is a pretty telling sign that the Staff does not felel that Rylan will be coming back next year.

Also mentioned that we have another Streak on the line Saturday-- -KU has won – 40 years in a row on Senior Night - -think about that another streak broken ?- -they & me too think that streak stays alive- - all Think KU gonna wi Saturday.

They said they came out of this game against Houston not feeling as pissed, they felt because it just looked like Ku for the first time in awhile actually competed, saying our first shot defense was really good- -it was 2nd chance points that killed us.

Tehm they came out with a new Nick name for this time with tourney time coming up , they called it ; DIGGY and the Miracles- -instead of Danny, Diggy wears Number-- 8–half of -88 ,- -Diggy is 5’8- -half of 88— gotta love it

@TYOHawk Hell look how long it took Zeke to even put up a shot 0talk about not having it - -it your 2 man isn’t attempting till the end of the half-- – your screwed

OK , so I’m ready , ready to throw my vote out for some roster next year. doesn’t matter if people agree or not just giving my votes/opinion.

I’m putting my pick for priority next year to return my # one guy I really would like to see come back is — --- -DIGGY. I think Diggy has done enough positive things for us that if he wants to come back then Hell ya - -come on.-- Diggy is a scrapper-- Diggy has confidence in his shot and can bring a lift off the bench , bring some instant offense- -Diggy by far I think has been one of the better additions we have had this season. I think if Diggy would come back , he could bring that experience of the bench and even bring some leadership.

The Second guy I would like to get back is-- – Rylan . .I just think with a year of experience under his belt playing for Bill would be Huge for us , Rylan be more relaxed , more confident and would bring another threat point threat for us. Just think w would see a different Rylan , a mor confident Rylan that brins an outside threat to the table. Think he would be a serious threat to be that productive scorer.

That’s my two I would love to get back , think better shot for Diggy to return but hopefully both

Maybe these guys can come out now at the end of the Season and just play loose— play free, might be what they need. -Just go out and play— play free-- loose. If you go on a winning streak-- Great surprise people , let the doubters doubt. And if you lose- -you lose, nobody at this point is expecting you to do anything anyways so there you go.

Just play guys- -play loose- - play free-- and dammit have some fun- -this is a game you love , your suppose to enjoy what you do , instead of having to worry about any fricken Death threats --or having racial slurs thrown at you or any of that crap from some brainless idiots- screw that.-- Just try and remember back to the time when you was out doing the thing you do love- - playing Basketball–enjoy- let fly,

I mean these times are going to be the very lst time many of you are going to be that last time you ever play for KU again- -just go and tear it up - -loose guys be proud remember you play for a Blue Blood of all Blue Bloods you play for the Kansas Jay Hawks Represent guys- -and good luck.- - ROCK CHALK BABY ALL DAY LONG

@jay4ever Agree about Storr 100 % his feet should NEVER , EVER step foot on the court here again for one minute , he has been given many chances but as soon as he steps on the floor he is an instant turnover or a Black hole- give those minutes to a meaningful player

@BeddieKU23 I’m actually calling that also right now ,I was thinking this even before last night , but we has two really good games against Houston , but just self inflected wounds in both games and that being - just careless ball handling and reckless turnovers.

If we can just take care of the ball better then w got a shot . We have seen , and we know from seeing that this team is capable of playing better- -we have seen it- -THIS YEAR . If we play to our capabilities we can make a decent run in the Big 12 tourney and even win a couple on the NCAA. The question of the day is will this team come around and take care of the ball ?-- just some games just sloppy with the ball . We had been averaging just turning the ball over eleven times a game

I’ve NEVER seen a KU team so careless with the ball

houdton 18 offensive rebounds - Dickinson 7 turnoves- -Mayo 5 turnoves- great receipe for defeat

This is eaactly the way our whole dam Season has went- - -so frustrating , so inconsistent - 18 turnoves,. Can someone tell me how we can play Houston this tough both times and yet get curb stomped by BYU and lose three league games at home

Well guys

well dam

KJ again-- - -15 points

@BeddieKU23 KJ is 9-10 from the line tonight

The longer we stay right herre, might just maybe be a little bit of tightness creep into Houston’s head - shots get a little tighter

Diggy playin his ass off

Need these two KJ

crept back within two

4 turnovers on Hunter-- 4 turnovers on Mayo-- -15 a a team

We CAN NOT have Storr on the floor at any time PERIOD

Holding Houston to 32 % shooting , other then Crye Houston 12-39
