I’m not sure I’ve seen KU play 3 bigs since Roy in 2001, and KU fans cheered when Chenowith graduated and we could just do Gooden/Collison

Is he a small?

About to turn this off and get back to watching Paradise.

Ish

Christ this team is just snowballing out of control.

Pulled Flory for Storr, not KJ

KJ’s leading this game in presence, but it doesn’t seem to be helping the score

He's Angel Reece.

She rebounds though

We're not going to finish above.500 in the big12: are we

Looks like 11-9 to me based on the schedule

Self at the timeout, has that look of "I'm playing KJ no matter what so get used to it."

KJ still in, down 22-7

Second half may need to go to a running clock for mercy

Now he pulls Dickinson instead of KJ

Welp, there's better things to watch that won't make me want to punch myself in the face.

Imagine how bad it would be without him

A less skilled Angel Reece

Getting smoked, but gotta make sure KJ gets his minutes.

Self gonna play him the full 40 minutes just to troll the fanbase in this one

This is dumb. I’m not watching this shit

A lot of offensive rebounds for BYU, I wonder if pulling KJ (who doesn’t rebound) would help with that

Trolling or not KJ appears to be Self’s blankey, even to the point of playing 3 bigs and looking even more inept

(I’m considering Storr a big since he should be a 4)

KJ played good defense again Miami in the 2022 tournament to end the half though

LMAO yeah can’t convert 2 on 1s

Took Flory out for Dickinson, KJ still hasn’t sat yet

How are you going to lose to a bunch of people that will get expelled for getting laid

Think about how the other players on the team must feel about this guy playing 35+ minutes over a NBA big

KJ came out of the game, stunning

I missed it. I assume he'll be back after the timeout.

Self has his former players posting KJ propaganda during the worst season in decades?

Are we sure Self had a heart attack or was it a stroke?

If the NCAA would just ban the 3 point shot already, we might be onto something

Storr has to be the biggest bust in program history, what is he doing

KJ back in and throwing ball away to nobody

Still haven’t gone with Dickinson/Flory at the same time with 3 guards

Great to see KJ back on the floor

KJ drives into 3 defenders with no plan

Good layup by HD. Very impressive.

KJ with the stifling defense. Oh, that was another 3 for BYU.

We’ve clearly spent too much time worrying about the mules instead of loading the wagon

Zeke Mayo on the road is sure something

That deflection earned KJ an extra 5 minutes of playing time.

Flory (our best defender and rebounder) has been out for 8 minutes now as the team gets torched on the same screen and roll play over and over again

Cripes.

Just checked the score looks like this team definitely has that sweet 16 run in them. Don’t be too down on these guys RoTC told us they bring it when it really matters

I might pick BYU to make S16 though

I love CB, but my god he needs to shut the **** up.

lol turned it off

Yup, he's been riding the Harris train pretty hard this year.

Shakeel Moore gets his first minute of the game and does something

Will be back to the bench soon

Dickinson is trash

The whole team is....

Sure the team is an absolute disaster but at least KJ is on pace for his 35 minutes

Other things to watch besides this junk. Goodbye top 25 rank.

He’s the tallest pile of trash so he sticks out more

Impossible to get in the players heads but seems impossible based on early performance this team totally sucks, so gotta think they’ve quit or are totally lost

Didn't KC Connection claim the season would be saved if 1 guy got more playing time lol

They need to stop saying this team is not consistent. They are the same bum ass team every game.

.

Saved? No, that never happened.

But when they were playing and starting the team’s lone NBA player while KJ Adams was injured was the only time KU looked like a top 10 team this season.

My favorite thing about this year's team is not watching them play.

Resume will be too good to miss it but they don’t deserve to even make the tournament the way they’ve played the last two weeks.

Don’t be sad it’s over….be grateful it happened!

These kids look like they don't give a ****

You’re right about that much, they’ve stopped caring for a few weeks now

Gotta be the worst Self coaching job in his entire career in Lawrence

Probably why we've seen some good coaches quit. What can you do? Bench them they are still getting paid and then they'll just transfer somewhere else that will pay them

:doh!:

Back to the old KJ at the 4 lineup, that’ll do the trick

Knock knock

Can I have a few minutes to talk to you beakers about the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter day saints?

It does appear to be the dilemma but there are plenty of other coaches who have figured out how to motivate players in this era

You can pretty much draw a line from the Houston collapse to everything that followed with this team.. KJ’s return from injury coincided with that but there’s more than that going on here.

First time Self goes to the Dickinson/Flory lineup with 3 guards (statistically the team’s best lineup all season by a mile) is 14 minutes into the 2nd half down 31 points

Hey, if it wasn't for him, this might be embarrassing.....

So the Cougars got 3 lottery picks?

Starting to think we won’t win

Harris now shooting under 30% from three on the season. Saving his worst college season for his last one.

Make it a flagrant 2 on KJ please, maybe the B12 will suspend him

“And Joseph Smith peered deep into the hat of God and was shown the face of the bird. The bird was adorn in boots and said .. for I am the anointed one.. the master of all of Douglas county and therefore the land.. an tho I walk amongst you I am always the champion, the champion of the league and land and you will fear my wrath for even when I am getting my ass kicked I am still the Champion.” The hat revealed all of this to Joseph Smith and he was told by God himself to lay in wait and destroy this foul creature and its boastful fan base for they are a false prophet and by their wickedness they shall be brought low before the people and all to see.
