Morningstar clearly has the least amount of talent than any other of the KU guards. Why Releford doesn't play over him I'm not sure.

As far as Collins, I just don't think he's accustomed to being the leader of this team at this point.

I wasnt comparing eachothers values to the team, sorry if it came across that way

People on here thought that Kaun was good. I STRONGLY disagreed, he has size, but should have been much more of a force inside than what he was.

His rebounding wasn't anything to look at and say wow, he couldnt shoot, he missed more 2 ft shots than anyone in the history of basketball. And he played just ok defense.

During the NCAA tournament though he played above his level. and I applauded it.

He came down awkwardly on an ankle after attempting to jump block a three-pointer.

He walked away under his own power on the way to the locker room, so he probably just rolled his ankle and it's likely not serious.

Just got back from the game. Didn't see what happened to Taylor's ankle, but apparently he rolled it.

Morningstar had his career game tonight, Unlike some on the board, I think Morningstar has quite a bit of value. He'll never play NBA, but he plays with more energy and brains (cumulative) than any other player on the team. He's all over the place on defensive, and has made more impressive plays coming from behind on breaks than any other player on the team. The kid has wheels, brains and he probably cares more about this program than any other player on the team. He's the guy on this team that will end up coaching.

I've been a season ticket holder since 2001, and I've learned alot about KU basketball in the process. I've been a fan as long as I can remember, but you really can't compare Sasha to Morningstar. They're apples and oranges.

we've gone over this many times in the past and we aren't gonna agree anytime soon.


lets just put it this way ... as far as i can tell Bill self has exactly 3 plays in his immense coaching arsenal.

1. the backdoor pick for an ally-oop that he breaks out to start the 2nd half ... sometimes to start the game.

2. the high-low pass which is basically his entire offensive scheme.

3. the guard criss-cross-drive-kick-out for a 3-pointer which is his one and only last minute shot play.

he's been know to take timeouts after HIS player MAKES a critical free throw .... basically 'icing' his own shooter.

he pulls his own players DURING a hot streak

he still tells his guys to hold the ball on a final shot to the 10 second mark even though our offense is too slow to develop for 10 seconds to be enough time to get a good shot off.


gah ... during the final minute of a game he might as well just go to the locker room. Cuz he ain't doing much to help.

there's more but i don't have the energy



but he won a championship so we forgive him :)

of course, we would all take Collins over Morningstar ..... but a team still needs "Morningstar" type guys.

we've gone over this many times in the past and we aren't gonna agree anytime soon.


lets just put it this way ... as far as i can tell Bill self has exactly 3 plays in his immense coaching arsenal.

1. the backdoor pick for an ally-oop that he breaks out to start the 2nd half ... sometimes to start the game.

2. the high-low pass which is basically his entire offensive scheme.

3. the guard criss-cross-drive-kick-out for a 3-pointer which is his one and only last minute shot play.

he's been know to take timeouts after HIS player MAKES a critical free throw .... basically 'icing' his own shooter.

he pulls his own players DURING a hot streak

you haven't paid any attention at all...you don't even know what offense we run....

Self scrapped the hi-low for a pick and roll offense...the rest of your post is uninformed gibberish....do you watch games or listen on the radio?

because you don't know anything about the team you claim to follow...

Roy would let the other team keep a run going and not call time out. That's how we got up 40-12 on them.


and that was classic Roy....he has NEVER learned

Self is so much better as a game coach it isn't funny

Roy's only title came with players he didn't recruit...i.e. players that weren't choking pussies...

he still runs some sort of high/low hybrid offense

mainly because he was FORCED to because the guys he inherited were more suited to RUN.

self abandoned the pick and roll as soon as he had his own players...

he runs it occasionally as a called set..but his main offense is base off high picks for guards...

we ran the pick and roll almost exclusively during the tournament...90% of the time...it's how we put away Nevada, by going exclusively to picks for Chalmers and Robinson...

sorry, but your claims are just wrong...

true

i should clarify..Roy made them into pussies by forcing them to play his "system" and not allowing them to freelance...and not teaching strong perimeter defense

how many quick guards destroyed us in the tournament?

Pierce hated Roy's "system"...imagine how good he would have been under Self?

your on drugs

he does run high picks for guards in the guard weave last year because our guards were better but he still wants our big men to run a hi-lo type offense.

he only ran the pick and roll because Kaun was so good at it.

this year we don't have enough big guys to run the hi-lo offense or we would be seeing it again right now.

as soon as he gets another big man he will go right back to it again.

uh, we have Cole - the biggest man in the country - and we're still running a pick and roll offense

the pick and roll had nothing to do with Kaun, who didn't even start

it's about our guards...and we ran it all year...

don't know what else to say

your comments about Self weren't just false, they were uninformed....

I disagree. While Roy did have some faults, he was still a good in game coach. Roy Williams will be in the collegiate hall of fame some day. It's not like he's a slouch. Look, the NCAA tournament is kind of like a poker tournament. The best team usually doesn't win. Unusually, the last 3 years the best team has won. But more than half the time the best team doesn't win. Shit happens in a one game winner take all. You can catch a hot team shooting 3's and you are done.

I can tell you this, if the Roy teams in the 90's played seven game series like the NBA they would have won the National Title at least twice during Roy's tenure. But they didn't. Shit happens. While I would not trade Self for any coach in the nation including Roy, I don't buy that last years team was any better or any worse than that team with Pierce, LaFrentz, Vaughn, etc. They ran into a buzzsaw which was otherwise known as Arizona. Game could have gone both ways.

Roy's teams kept running into buzzsaws because they were soft. Arizona had big strong forwards that denied the ball to Pollard and LaFrentz. We just couldn't get the ball inside. My Arkansas buddy said "I'll bet they can't do that to Kentucky". Well, they did and won the NC. Bill Self beat Roy twice using the same tactics. Self always has a big strong enforcer type to control the middle. Last year it was Darnell Jackson.

Morningstar sucks. He has a good first instinct, but then it's like he doesn't know what to do after he makes that first move and gets stuck or turns it over.

collins cost us the game with his turnovers, and when he decided to play 1-on-1 and throw up airballs....

and you don't foul with that much time left...self said so after the game, and he was right

There wasn't THAT much time left. Foul and even if they make the 2 shots, you still get the ball and free throws when they foul YOU.
