Yeah. You guys will still be solid but don't act like it's not a huge loss. Maybe not Embiid sized loss but ****ing huge.

"They will be even better!"

/RustShack

If Sherron Collins was our pg today we lose. Just like the UNI game where he went 4-15 from the floor while our front court scored at will shooting over 60%.


This was a great example of Bill learning from the past ad adjusting. When wiggins and selden took awful deep shots from the sdeline when it got tight with 9 or so to go, he went crazy on the sideline and yelled at them. No more outside shots the way home and we pounded them inside.

Nah, but we will just play a different style now.

Hey rusty. No bullshit. I'm ****ing sorry bud. Every fan should wish for a healthy team, healthy opponent. I'm pulling for the clones.

Frankamp and traylor. ****ing hell the future is bright. Finally traylor showed the athleticism and Conner showed the skill that made me think that we will be contenders years after wiggins and embiid are in the league.

Yep. Bill is perhaps the greatest college basketball coach in history. We could have killed this shitty teams in so many ways today but he played it perfect.

Right now Nadiir Tharpe thinks he is the biggest piece of shit on the planet. And you know what? He is.

When you're given the privilege to play ball with the greatest college program in the history of sport you better show up…otherwise you get embarrassed. Self is going to give him another chance but if he plays like this is some school yard bullshit again he won't hesitate to put white boy in and just end it.

This is beyond politics and race. This is Kansas Basketball. You come to play for us you better know what the **** you got yourself into. Tharpe is a loser right now. Hopefully he's laying in bed right now realizing how worthless he is when it comes to the legacy that is KU.

When he understands he can be great is when things change. That is when we win. That is what it takes to be immortal.

RCJHK...

Okay what did Wickedson do now?

This.

That's how you bring it. Strong

Watch. Selden will have 20 points next game.

Oh shit, Niang is done? Thats tough to lose your 3rd leading scorer. Dude had 24 last night before getting hurt.

And really their only inside guy. You had to respect him down low and it opened up things a lot on the outside.

Kain
Ejim
Nyang

The three guys they really can't afford to lose.

DeAndre Kane is pretty good too

For some reason I can just see Tharpe lying on the couch right now, staring blankly up at the ceiling, feeling totally worthless and wondering what the fan boards are saying about him LMAO

Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden too, I'm sure.

Well perry ellis already knows he is the worse black player to ever play at kansas. Prison flopper said so.

Before everyone goes nuts about our path to the elite 8, how do you feel about our game tomorrow?

I have only seen Stanford once this year (their opening round game), I think they are an average basketball team...

IF Kansas comes out and plays like they are capable of, it "should" be a 10-15 point win...

Selden is our Harrison twins. All three need another year in college like nearly all FR do. Selden should be fine next year but he really needs to stop shooting outside of 10 feet. He might have a good game from deep but three or four is very improbable

It will be tough, but I think KU will take it. Tharpe will know he is on a short leash.

Seems like when everyone jumps on the Tharpe Bandwagon, he usually has a good follow up game...

Now that its cool to bash on him, he probably goes for 20 + tomorrow...

Hope so. I'd take 20 8 assists 5 steals 3 REB 0 TO

He does that, should be an easy win. Knock on wood.

I get the complete opposite impression. Tharpe actually comes off to me like someone who doesn't worry about much.

A lot of the media thinks Embiid isn't coming back this year no matter what. I hope he does ugh. We'd need him the further we advance obviously.

Would be great, but I doubt he does. Self still speaks completely vaguely whenever asked about him.

Which is crazy considering Okafor had the same injury 10 years and only missed two games. Everyone is different but the luck or lack thereof sucks lol.

We know far too little about his exact injury/injuries to say for sure how similar his situation is to a different player 10 years ago. I wouldn't compare.

I think that's because he doesn't want an idiot like Keitzman twisting his words if it turns out Joel can't play. He doesn't want to say that he thinks he'll be ready and then him not play, and some idiots go "Well, thhe family doesn't want to potentially lose money because Bill made him to when he wasn't ready."

Self ruled him out for tomorrow, FYI.

He doesn't give one squirt what that idiot thinks. But if I'm wrong lord help us.

This....
And Kietzman's gash is going to be gonna be extra moist after the Wildcats were eliminated this weekend.....Gonna be reaching extra hard this week.

Don't speak too soon

He felt the need to come out and correct the timeline on Embiids injury. I'm not saying he did it specifically because of Keitzman, but if he didn't care, he wouldn't have done an interview about it.

Okay I am getting the **** out of here with this garbage...

Embiid said he'd consult with KU staff and Mbah Moute about going pro, fwiw.

Interesting.

I know you're a moron.

I also know you made your stupid statement when Embiid was still healthy.

Nobody is going to give you props.

Your statement was beyond stupid... No need for props especially from you...

Cry somewhere else...

I'm not the constant whining gash in KU threads. That's your role. And why so few KU fans on this board give your opinion any weight.

Reerun furiously masturbating to KU loss.

Time to reload. We'll be back next year, like we always are.

Oh noes...

Actually eating a BBQ pork sandwich and some chips watching WSU...

But thanks for asking though.

It sucks. But, it is what it is. When Embiid went down, we were going to be lucky to get through the 1st weekend.

You've achieve Wickedson/Prison Bitch status, just so you are aware.

Cant win them all...

11 in a row?

ROFL I was shooting for Mr Plow KCC status...

Still have a long ways to go...

You've got a lot of studying to do buddy.

Sure going to miss you this offseason....

:thumb:

Maybe someday I can be as accomplished... Just maybe....

You probably need a break from the board.

Will you be okay without me?

Take your time. Come back after the basketball season next year. Might do you some good.

I wonder how many non seniors we lose. Wiggins is gone, I assume Embiid also. Anybody else?

I could see AW3 transferring.

Hope Greene stays. He'll be a good player.

I'm here to discuss them. Whenever you're ready.

As long as he stays away from pizza.

Anyone know when Turner is announcing? Some time in May?

14-15 thread, pls.

Okay, cherry picker.

I said this because there sure was an awful lot of confidence from KU fans about this game, and I don't know why. We were -5 favorites in KenPom and frankly, our guard play is a disgrace. Stanford looked like a mirror image of us: lot of size and zero outside shooting or ballhandling. It was an ugly game where the slightly less ugly team would win.

It was nice to see Frankamp ride the pine for most of the 2nd half. It's truly befuddling Self can't recruit a PG to Kansas of all places.

Selden sucked balls all year so I'll assume you'll drop that one before it even begins.

Perry is a good player against bad teams, and struggles vs decent ones. Unless you can disprove that statistically. The problem is, we don't get to play TCU and Northwest Weber State Wesleyan as the tourney toughens.

Yet you disappeared when they had good games. And look at you here -- puffing your chest after they played bad games. I'm not surprised.

November seems like such a long ways away...

I don't recall Selden having any good games, outside of one night in Norman. You're right on Perry though, he did have some good games. I should've been more appreciative of his domination of TCU.

This year is over - New Thread http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...7#post10511207

I was just watching Ridiculousness. They were showing dudes making trick shots meanwhile this team can't make layups.

They had good post defenders with size. Doesn't totally surprise me they challenged so many shots inside, but what did is that our outside shooting (several open looks by the way) was just so atrocious the last month. Outside of Frankamp the team went 1-26 from deep this tourney. That's hard to even TRY to do.

Some Perspective
 

For all the people that want to bash the Kansas Jayhawks because they hate KU, or for all the KU fans that are pissed at Bill Self and the players, READ THIS: Here is what you must be forgetting. Bill Self lost all 5 starters from last year.

58% off all scholarship players this year were Freshmen. Yes. 7 out of 12 players were Freshmen. Mason, Frankamp, Selden, Lucas, Greene, Wiggins, and Embiid were all Freshmen. Ellis, Traylor and White were only Sophomores, and they barely played last year. Black, who is a Senior, was in his "freshman" year in Self's offensive and defensive systems. Only 1 player had significant playing time under Self, and that was Tharpe.

Just think about that. 7 Freshmen, and 3 Sophomores, a first year Senior, and a Junior, replaced all 5 starters from the year before, played the toughest schedule anyone can remember, won the statistically toughest league in college basketball, and gained a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Was this loss disappointing? Yes. Was this season a disappointment? HELL NO.

This young team played a non-con schedule that was unreal, played a conference schedule that saw them play ranked team after ranked team, and they won the league. I wish we could have won today, but given all the info I just posted, I am proud of this team, and proud to be a Jayhawk. If you think this team underachieved, that is your problem. Rock Chalk.

Thanks for spamming 3 different threads with your excuses.

Good season boys.

Thanks Rust, for all the shit we give you, you stand proud and take it well.

Now here's to hoping Naadir transfers to Iowa St. :)

Not by our standards.

Perry Ellis
24 points, 9 rebounds against Duke
Nearly a double double against Colorado who was 9-1 and before they lost their best player
21 points, 9 rebounds against New Mexico
22 points, 11 rebounds against Oklahoma
18 points against Baylor
20 points against Iowa State
14 points, 10 rebounds against Baylor
19 points, 11 rebounds against KSU in Manhattan (a place where most teams lost this year)
30 points against ISU in the Big 12 tournament
14 points, 13 rebounds in our first NCAA tourney game

Your statement is just plain false. Now if you want to make the case that he is a little inconsistent it would be accurate. Of course, one could then make the argument that he is open a lot of times and the guards just don't get the ball to him. He is a good scorer. Just gotta get more consistent. Perry is still not a good defender but I did see improvement this year, especially late in the season.

Well said. Just FTR, we have a high standard on expectations at KU, reason we have spoiled fans at the end of the season too.

Cliff Alexander seen in a walking boot, has a “sprained ankle”

Bill Self is hosting a team barbecue poolside at his house tonight.

First thing you may notice is that Bill Self has an awesome house. Second, you may notice is that Cliff Alexander (on the left) is wearing a walking boot on his right foot.

The picture was originally posted on Frank Mason’s instagram page, but it is now deleted.

According to Gary Bedore of the Lawrence Journal-World, Alexander has a sprained ankle:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Cliff Alexander sprained his right ankle and has a boot. No surgery or anything but foot immobilized a few weeks self said</p>&mdash; Gary Bedore (@GaryBedore) <a href="https://twitter.com/GaryBedore/statuses/486694412999614464">July 9, 2014</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>



Alexander tweeted out that he is “good.”


Cliff Alexander is a top three incoming recruit at Kansas and is expected to fill Joel Embiid’s hole in the starting lineup. The McDonald’s All American injured his hand in the April McDonald’s All American Slam Dunk contest earlier this year. Despite the injury, he still played in the All American game.

Many basketball players wear walking boots from time to time. Some times they are used as precautionary measures. Kentucky’s Tyler Ulis, also a freshman, was seen in a walking boot in June for precautionary reasons.

We’ll update as we hear more info.

Update: As soon as I posted this on Twitter, Cliff Alexander retweeted it:

Seriously Mason, this is the most exciting pic you could take?

I like that somebody is at the bar, and there appears to be a bartender. Also, Bill's dog.
