Embarrassing

Bad entry passes jesus

All true

Also they regularly don’t play hard

You’ve got to be ****ing kidding me

That’s great, Self just giving away two points now

Ya we don't score well enough to just be giving the other team 2 points

Nice layup Dickinson!

That should be free throws and the ball but who knows with these refs

Utah got the walk - ons in just to try and hack the shit out of Hunter?

It’s been working so far

Hunter giving Chenowith vibes tonight.

I have to watch this? Goddamn what a Saturday night special this pile of shit is

So close to getting KJ fouled out, please

Gonna miss KJ's energy and stuff when he eventually fouls out.

The half court offense with KJ and Bidunga on court at the same time is sure something

This team makes me want to stab someone in the neck

You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you

You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream

You guys are taking this team too seriously. I just enjoy ball. I don't expect to win any road games. We aren't very good. It's okay. It is what it is. We are healthy. Maybe we can get lucky and make a run in the NCAA's. Get to Elite 8 or something if the bracket opened up. Wouldn't that be fun?

We keep getting that big TE guy on a guard and we just refuse to take advantage.

Utah is trying to give this game to us and we just won't take it.

Only guy on the team with "energy" and "heart"....but you.....hate him?

I'm rooting for the asian kid the rest of the way. Maybe he can get it goin'

Maybe we should start this Flory guy

KJ would have dunked that.

I don’t hate him, I hate him playing 35 min

Bidunga! So fun to watch. Throw the bag at that cat.

Peterson + Tiller + Bidunga + shooter that Bill Self will ruin

Fun year in 2026.

Called him Embiid light before the season. Stand by it.

Welp get ready for AJ Storr

Zeke’s knee just went it appears, ugh

KJ will want to return

Appears to be okay

Are we really playing KJ at the 3?

Gotta make sure he gets his minutes quota.

We are gonna gut this one out and then beat the shit out of the Mormons so bad that Joseph Smith will be turning in his grave...and all of his wives.

Get ready for the Flory benching for KJ in the last few minutes here after Flory got us tied up

Only way to get his 35 minutes in if Flory is playing well?

Honestly it could work defensively

Well according to the announcers he's only doing that between curing cancer and winning an NBA title and being a first ballot hall of famer all at the same time. So. Yes.

The fist pumps aren't coachable.

You either have it or don't.

Imagine if Flory did that from time to time.

He'd never be benched.

Just need him to drop a couple 3's to pull the defense out. It's coming, be ready.

If only we had 5 KJ's.

I don't see how this lineup is going to score.

Smart by Dickinson to foul that guy

That would seem to be the problem, yeah

Also it would have been nice if KJ could do more on rebounds than just batting the ball up in the air

KJ with the trifecta there.

Falls playing defense, rather than trying to grab the rebound he tips it out to Utah, and then gives up the basket.

Can't coach that sort of heart.

He’s even a below average rebounder at the 3

It’s called “presence”

Soft ass ****ing pussies.

Zeke doesn’t box out but it does lead to KJ’s 5th foul so we can play Flory

Hurry quick, someone post KJ's sweet stat line.

LMAO we didn’t put him in anyway

Never been more excited for a KU player to foul out.

Griffen is an absolutely awful ball handler.

I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it.

They’re going to review this? What a stupid sport

I can’t get over that he didn’t put Flory in to close this game even without KJ

5 fouls, 4 points, 3 rebounds

Flagrant obviously

We finally got rid of KJ

And this is what we get??

That feels like a dagger

Self has him swapping jerseys with Flory to get back in.

Diggy too small, that should do it for this one

Maybe we’ll be like a 7 seed

Postgame Self will describe KJ fouling out as the turning point

I just don't know any other words to describe how gross this team is.

In 31 minutes according to someone on X.

We all tried to make excuses for them losing that pre-season exhibition vs Arkansas.

Turns out the team just isn't very good.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Asian kid with the bucket!

This Utah team is just bad too, BYU is probably gonna destroy us in a couple of days

36% shooting by Utah. Despite a barrage of 3's by Utah in the 1st half.

Just not enough effort by Kansas.

Need to grit out the offense.

See the ball. Be the ball.

If by Dickinson, they mean KJ then yes

It's not KU's fault. They aren't used to the dangerous toxic dust from the drying up Salt Lake. Competitive advantage for the Utes.

But only one brings the presence and it isn’t the NBA big unfortunately

Welp….looks like my Spring will be starting early, again, this year.

Ain't watched a game since KSU and I don't know if I'll watch another until mid March. I'm completely losing interest in college basketball. I tried to watch Alabama/Auburn and turned it off in 10 minutes.

Maybe the gambling has fried my pleasure receptors in my brain?

This team itself seems to be losing interest in college basketball judging by the last couple of games, so I can’t blame you

I went and laid down and watched the 2nd half in bed, and ended up dozing off until the last few seconds. Sounds like I made the right decision. :shake:

The best thing I can say is, currently we are a bad BB team.

Done said all there is to say this year, I'm lost for words!

At what point do we stop banging the Flory in for KJ drum. It isn't happening and there is no point just screaming into the void.
