I can seemingly vm myself though, so that's something! Edit: Manon you ninja mofo.

I think KU will add Thornton, not sure on anyone else. But we know Self will use the scholarships. Should be fun since next years roster and rotation is basically set anyway.

Ya I can't wait. This is the best backcourt we've had in a long time imo. Maybe since 08.

Da Gyps
05-04-2016, 07:07 PM
There is no doubt. Jackson is the best guard prospect Self has had (if you count Wiggs as a wing). The things is even though Jackson is maybe a shade below Wiggs overall he is an amazing passer and has a much better team around him (Mason/Graham v Tharpe? LOL).

I'm setting the O/U on how many times we hear that Jackson is older than Svi this season in game broadcasts at 40.5.

manonfire101
05-04-2016, 07:09 PM
Probably more. Brent and Fran always have the same things to say every game. Vick as a 5th option isn't bad either.

Da Gyps
05-04-2016, 08:01 PM
Absolutely. JR/SR Vick would start on the 2012 team (over Releford). I love Releford though.

manonfire101
05-04-2016, 08:09 PM
I love Mason, but a backcourt of Graham, Svi, and Jackson is going to be really fun to watch when it happens. I hope Svi has a big season, he deserves it.

What's cool about this backcourt, too, is that they can be really good defensively. They all can guard.

What will Duke's starting 5 be, KB? Jackson, Allen, Tatum, Jefferson, Giles? Or will Kennard start?

Yes, Duke will indeed be loaded next season. Duke/KU should be fun to start the season. I honestly think we will be watching the two best backcourts in the country in that game.

07-01-2016, 11:39 AM
I think Kennard comes off the bench. He was only starting last season because of Jefferson's injury and K having to go to smaller lineups. He'll be amazing as a bench scorer though, and he could play just as many minutes as Giles until he gets completely healthy and comfortable.

Da Gyps
07-01-2016, 11:41 AM
If Giles is healthy he's playing 32+ mpg imo. Very special player.

Sanosuke

Josh Jackson for president.

I think Newman being at KU will be better for KU than it will be for Newman.

manonfire101
07-06-2016, 01:31 PM
It will go both ways. He can't play this season but he can participate in practices which means he'll get to play against Mason, Graham, Jackson, Svi, Vick, which should be beneficial to everyone involved. And since KU will lose Mason and Jackson at minimum in the backcourt after this season, we're going to need him a lot as a player in 17-18.

Sanosuke
07-06-2016, 01:33 PM
I just don't see him being an NBA talent or wanted post his KU days. I think it's likely he rides out his college ball career with KU instead of declaring. (In reference to Newman)

manonfire101
07-06-2016, 01:35 PM
Nah he's only playing one year at KU and then declaring for the draft from what I understand. Not sure how he's going to do in the pros but it's his decision.

Sanosuke
07-06-2016, 01:52 PM
That's my understanding as well but I don't think it'll happen. 2018 draft class is gonna be loaded.

manonfire101
07-06-2016, 01:53 PM
We'll see how he feels when it gets here. I'd obviously love him to stay for multiple years.

Da Gyps
07-06-2016, 03:15 PM
I would be stunned if he played 3 full years at KU. It would be amazing for KU though.

Collin Sexton is the 2017 guard I hope will end up at KU the most. He is really blowing up this summer so other big programs might get involved.

49 fouls called in a 40 minute game. Why do they insist on ruining basketball? And this isn't salt, Kansas got screwed by more calls than Duke. It just sucks to watch a game that has to pause every 30 seconds for a foul call, often with little to no contact.

Grayson Allen 4-15. Unable to create his own shot even when Duke really, really needed him to score. Not sure why people think he's a POY candidate. He can be a great scorer when he's not being shutdown by a good defender. But Christ he looks bad at times. Jeter still looks bad to me. Had a couple of good blocks, but his rebounding technique is shit and he can't score. He got rejected by the rim because he tried to one hand it. How has he not progressed more than this? All that complaining aside, this team will be monstrous when Giles and Tatum and Bolden are playing. Definitely lacked presence in the paint in the second half once Amile got in foul trouble.

Da Gyps
11-16-2016, 03:12 PM
The refs will end up reverting after a bit....I HOPE. I agree the officiating was poor and hurt both sides. Josh was just working into a groove and his third and fourth fouls were suspicious. The tech he absolutely deserved and the 5th foul even if Kennard flopped (he did) was still a foul.

Jeter seems really soft. Bragg has the same problem.

Allen seems to struggle with length. Provided Giles and Tatum stay healthy in particular that just does so much for Duke. Better spacing, better depth etc...

It's clear to me that Duke is a FF team when healthy.

Josh will be fine, the talent is there. The entire team got thrown into the gauntlet the first two games. I was legit thinking 0-2 start after the exhibitions. But now, while the upcoming schedule isn't K-Statian (check their schedule and the kenpom rankings LOL) it should but probably won't be 13 straight wins. So my hope is the team can use these games to gel and figure some stuff out.

Good win against Florida in the Garden. Kennard drops 29, Jefferson posts 24 and 15, and Tatum puts up 22 and 8, with a block and 3 steals. The kid can ball. Watching Jefferson play like this (averaging 15/10/2) makes me sad that he got injured last year and that team couldn't be better. But he's going to be huge for this team with the youngsters. And Grayson is sort of an afterthought in the scoring column because of a toe injury, but he had 8 dimes tonight.

Wow what a piece of shit.

Based on his reaction to something that was clearly intentional, it's safe to say that there's actually something mentally wrong with him that he needs to seek help for. There is clearly a disconnect. If this is a repeated behavior, which apparently it is, he needs help.

It doesn't help that all the other coaches and players are defending him and coddling him. I'd be pissed at him if I were them. That's making your school look terrible with behavior like that.

Josh Jackson didn't play. Plus this squad is pretty garbage at defense, especially by Self standards. Elite offense, pure grit and Josh being incredible have made up for it most of the season. However you take Josh away and the trickle down effect was pretty brutal, down to 4 scholarship guards for a team playing small ball.

I'm not convinced this KU team will do anything in the tournament, aside from winning the game against the 16 seed. It's a favourable bracket but this KU team can lose to just about anyone since they are a jump shooting team that can't guard well.

Preseason rankings based on how good each team is perceived to be and then W/L record and strength of schedule and a bunch of other subjective metrics.

Some hella good basketball on the mothership last night. Duke goes up 42-40 at half, to down 46-59 with 11:30 to go. Eight and half minutes and only 4 points, no way that team of young kids on the road against the #6 defensive team in the country figures it out that quickly and comes back to win. The game was tied within 6 minutes. Duke scored 35 points in that 11:30, finished on a 30-9 run, and won easily. Incredible, I am so pumped for what that does for the freshmen's confidence.

Then Kansas looks dead in the first half, comes back from 15 down in the second half to beat WVU. I'm happy for you KU fans. I'm sure Larry Scantland is pissed.

manonfire101
01-16-2018, 08:43 PM
Ya nice 2nd half for Duke and especially Gary Trent Jr. Allen shot 1/6 from 3 but Duke still shot 11/21 from 3 which tells me they had players step up and make shots. Good road win against a solid Miami team.

Honestly thought Kansas was going to lose by 12 points. The previous 4 matchups in Morgantown WVU had won and this is probably the worst and softest team that Self has had at Kansas. And WVU plays something more similar to hockey than basketball, and they get away with more at home. So I was pleasantly surprised at the toughness KU showed last night after putting themselves in a hole.

Graham shot 4/19. Azubuike missed free throws. HCBS didn't put pull Azubuike, which was a mistake in my opinion. Azubuike missing free throws is normal. HCBS making coaching errors and DG shooting that poorly doesn't happen very much. So it's disappointing in the sense that it was a game that KU probably should have won if things that normally happen happen. And it was also disappointing in that a win would have put KU in a really, REALLY good position to win their 14th straight conference title. But, oh well. Just have to move on and get ready for the next one.

And ya Trae Young was great. Have to give him a lot of credit. And give Kruger credit for his strategy of fouling Doke late.

Oklahoma is doing their best to play their way out of the tournament. I think with an expected loss to Kansas and then at least one other team such as Kansas State and then an early departure from the Big 12 tournament, they should be out. I think the fact that Trae Young was playing out of his mind early in the season is the only thing keeping them afloat. They've been getting the benefit of the doubt just on his early season play alone for too long.

I hate that all the headlines are about Duke and UNC and Kansas, when the players from those schools are only on the “had lunch with an agent” list. The document doesn’t even say who paid for the meal, he player could have split the heck and done nothing wrong. While somebody like Dennis Smith Jr took tens of thousands in loans but State doesn’t make for a sexy headline. I wish ESPN were less vague with their reporting of it. Wendell Carter had lunch with an agent - if that’s the only accusation against Duke, that’s not even a slap on the wrist. Carter pays back the cost of the meal to charity.

I agree more with KB on this. Schools are innocent until proven otherwise and I think it's important to treat each school separately and not lump all of them together. Jeff Capel has a bit of a history, but from the reports it doesn't look like Duke has done much more than pay a few hundred dollars for a meal. ESPN lists Duke, Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky on the report because it creates more clicks. Maybe they are paying recruits to go to their schools, but they are also the four premiere basketball schools in the country and it stands to reason that they attract a lot of talent for that reason.

The NCAA has been a joke for a long time now.

KU played without Preston the entire season and without De Sousa for most of it. If there was a year to get Kansas it was definitely this one. KU is going to be better and a lot deeper next season. Depending on who stays and who goes for KU, as well as what Romeo Langford decides to do, next season's team could be very very special. If Doke stays and Langford comes to KU then fucking forget about it.

Hopefully this season's team can go far in the tournament. They don't have much depth and they rely too much on the 3 so I think a sweet 16 or elite 8 is probably as far as they'll go. Hope I'm wrong.

Bad match-up type deal? I didn't watch those games.

I think KU could play Oklahoma State 10 times this year and we'd maybe win once.

It's partially a bad matchup but honestly two out of those three games should have definitely been wins for OSU. First time was a half court desperation buzzer beater, a game where we should have been up by near double digits if officiating was close to even, despite the fact that Penn State was 11 for 13 from 3 point range and everything was falling, contested or not.

Second time we just shit down our leg completely. It was ugly on both sides of the ball for us and just embarrassing.

Then this recent time was reminiscent of the first game. One point loss again. Complete fucking joke of a game with one-sided officiating throughout the entire 40 minutes. We also gave up entirely too many offensive rebounds due to repeated failures to box out. They had like literally 20 second chance points. Again though, would have been a double digit or near double digit lead without the awful officiating. Plain and simple. It was that bad. Only way we were gonna overcome it was playing near flawless basketball. I've talked to quite a few people without a dog in the fight that watched the game and agreed completely. Yeah yeah yeah #RefConspiracy yada yada yada fuck you all. :)

All I can do is hope that in the tournament the officiating crews are better (or at the very least consistent for both teams). When it's bad, our players get frustrated, coach Holtmann gets frustrated and it just affects the rest of our play because we have to be soft on defense and get less aggressive on offense too. When we play tough, aggressive basketball on both ends of the floor and don't play scared, we've proven we can compete with the best teams.

The consistency just isn't there though, so I will probably pick us to lose in the second round, depending on our matchup.

Well I guess you were right about that 1/10, Gyps. Oklahoma St looked pretty tired especially in the 2nd half and Kansas didn't play like hot garbage today. This tournament really doesn't matter though for Kansas. I don't care if they are a 1 or a 2 seed. I don't want Graham or anyone to get hurt in a meaningless game right before the tournament. On the other hand, with Doke out I'm excited for De Sousa to get another game with a lot of minutes. He had 8 boards and 4 offensive boards today. He's just going to keep getting better as he gets more experience.

Unfortunately the bad purple team won today so KU has the Raisins in Phog East tomorrow. Larry Bird Jr will probably go off.

I know they lost to BYU, but they are 19 in the coaches poll and 20 in the AP poll. They should have been in comfortably in my view.

If they were actually trying to have the best teams in the tournament then remove Oklahoma, Syracuse, Arizona St and put in St Mary's, Oklahoma St, and Notre Dame.

Saint Mary's got fucked. Like you said, Oklahoma and ASU shouldn't be in. Kinda surprised Kansas got the 1 seed, but they were a 2 at the lowest and you're right, they have a very easy path while basically playing with a home court advantage. MSU only getting a 3 seed is kind of a joke.

Ohio State has a rough path to the sweet 16. Not only does SDSU have a great offense that can keep them in any game, but Zaga is very underseeded at 4 and have already destroyed us early in the season. Oh well.

I mean, I was pretty sure KU was going to be the 3rd one seed after they won the Big 12 tournament and after Duke lost to Carolina. They have an RPI of 5 and a SOS of 3. They won the Big12 regular season outright and the Big12 tournament. Didn't think that was controversial at all. KU's path is easy until the elite 8 until they have to play Duke/MSU. Both of those teams are very good. But it's the elite 8, and those games should be tough so whatever.

I would also disagree with Ohio State having the toughest path of any 5 seed. I think that's clearly Kentucky. They would have to go through Arizona and Virginia just to get to the elite 8. Fuck that.

My final 4 right now is Virginia, Zaga, Nova, and MSU. I've changed my bracket so many times already though, I'm sure it will change. Who the fuck knows what could happen this year.

Michigan probably has the easiest path to the E8 for a 3 seed, can't complain

it is against my sports beliefs to acknowledge the "First four" games. They shouldn't exist. Period

Officials are keeping Rhode Island in the game and Dan Hurley is still whining. Two garbage offensive fouls called on Trae Young to take him out of the game. Rhode Island hand-checking and flopping on defense. Hopefully Oklahoma wins otherwise the Rhode Island and Duke game will be a contest to see which team can flop and complain about calls the most. I hate that shit. I hope West Virginia gets blown out so I don't have to watch Huggins.

Was never going to pick Arizona to beat Virginia because Sean Miller and because Virginia is really good, but I'm glad I picked them to lose to Kentucky.

But man, I thought they would at least beat Buffalo, not get drilled by them. Sean Miller is probably gone.

If you’re not watching UVA-UMBC, you might want to be. It looks serious, that Retrievers point guard looks like he’s about to hit a game winning bucket to slay the dragon.

To clarify: there’s still 17 minutes to go, but it just has that feeling like it’s going to happen.

TCU's Williams has one of the worst haircuts I've ever seen, it's like an Afro mullet.

I am so happy.

I don't even hate Virginia but this is such a epic event.

It's hard to hate Virginia. They play slow and methodically and they have good players who work hard and don't do stupid things on or off the court. But their style of basketball seems to lend itself to sudden collapses. It really sucks for them, but how incredible is it for USMC? We'll never forget watching this game.

Years from now when you look back on this moment, I want you to remember that it was your good friend KB who first came to this thread and told you that you should be watching. Never forget what a good friend I was. And then send your good friend $5. Every. Time. You. Remember.

Was reading a thing earlier where the farthest a bracket (in the era of online brackets) had ever remained perfect was through 39 games, so the last game of Saturday night.
