There is a reason every single NBA opening this year has contacted Fred Hoiberg gauging his interest.

This guy has gone full reerun. There's nothing ISU has ever done better than KU. He has to be trolling. Nobody can be this stupid.

Bill Self did a bad job of coaching last year, and we looked like dogshit in the tourney and lost to a dogshit team. ISU played better than us later in the season, and that's when it matters. The huge caveat obviously is that Embiid was out for us for so long, but even then, we still had so much talent on paper, and Self never got the team to gel. They didn't play motivated. I have confidence that Self will do a better job next year, and in the long run, of course I'd rather be KU than ISU, but Rusty has a leg to stand on in terms of last year.
As for next year, we're bringing in a hell of a class, so I'd expect us to beat ISU again and be better than we were last season, but it depends heavily on a group of guys who have never played together before. The odds are strongly in our favor that KU will outplay ISU next year, but given Self's failings last year with incredible talent, it's far from certain.

Just ban Rust. His stupid has infected the BB and this thread. Now this guy has the dumb virus.

They didn't. No idea why anybody would care about that anyway. KU doesn't measure themselves against ISU (for obvious reasons).

Bill Self did a bad job of coaching last year

And...nope. He certainly did lose the team's best player at the wrong time of the season, though.

Holy homer.

Worse than KnowMo. I didn't think it was possible.
