Poka'vescar or whatever his name is?

Looks like somebody was playing bingo on his body.

Dickinson dominating, give him the ball

Treat him like Wayne Simien the rest of the year.

This team is absolutely incapable of closing a half (or a game) whatsoever

Should have been up 16 instead of 9 there

Watched too much KU football

I'm at the game rather than watching on TV but I'm assuming it's fock off Fran

Lead fully gone now, this team isn't great at holding those

Imagine if we had put some good players around this Dickinson guy the last two years

Yuck.

And blown. As expected

They'd have blown the 16 point lead had they gotten it too, I'm sure

Storr LMAO

There's a real possibility Dickinson is gonna go for 40 in this game if they don't start doubling him and that we're gonna lose anyway despite that

Never should have bet on these bums.

-3.5 is gonna be a sweat because reasons

Not the regular season we wanted obviously but nice to finally make the plays we needed down the stretch. At least we kept one good streak going to next year.

Hunter sucks. Couldn’t even score 40 on senior night.

Phew. Thank you!

RCJH!

Nice to see the real KU guys have good games on their final nights in Mayo, Juan and KJ. Jayhawk blood.

Barely played and managed to go 0-4. Impressive.

So check me on this... if I have this right, we are likely going to be the 6 seed in the Big 12 tourney, right? Which would mean we are likely playing the winner of either Utah/K-State against Okie State? Amirite?

I don't care about Hunter Dickinson at all.

Guy is a complete chode.

I only care about those who have Jayhawk blood since we have no chance to win a championship I just hope those guys play well.

Just ran scenarios and it appears to be as follows:

If Houston beats Baylor and BYU beats Utah tonight (likely), KU is the #6 seed and plays the winner of Utah (11) and UCF (14)

If Houston beats Baylor and Utah beats BYU, KU is the #6 seed and plays the winner of KSU (11) and UCF (14).

If Baylor beats Houston, KU is the #7 seed and plays the winner of TCU (10) and ASU (15).

Ends the season #3 in KPOY, best of any player since 2020 Dotson.

I hope Frank Mason beats the shit outta you.

That is the most offensive thing Ive ever heard you say by omitting him from this conversation.

Edit: You had TRob in 2012 initially on your poast

In the KPOY era (2011 on), Dickinson ranks 3rd in KPOY rating only behind 2012 TRob and 2020 Dotson.

2017 Mason was 6th in that year.

What a fine Saturday after all

Rock chalk good work gutting that out and HD going off

Keep beating off to Kenpom. Thats all you do. Looks at Kenpom. Has only opinion due to Kenpom. Frank Mason is nine times the Jayhawk that fkn ****er Dickinson is.

Frank Mason III wins Naismith POY

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Kansas guard Frank Mason III has won the James A. Naismith Trophy as the top college basketball player.

The award presented by the Atlanta Tipoff Club was announced Sunday in Arizona near the site of the Final Four.

Mason adds to his awards haul with the honor, having already won Associated Press player of the year on Thursday.

Mason beat out Lonzo Ball of UCLA, Josh Hart of Villanova and Caleb Swanigan of Purdue in voting by a panel of journalists, current and former coaches, conference commissioners and former Naismith winners. Voting was conducted during the NCAA tournament.

Mason says winning the award with Naismith's name on it brings his experience full circle because Naismith invented the game and was the first coach at Kansas.

Kansas coach Bill Self tweeted congratulations to Mason III after the announcement. Mason in turn tweeted his gratitude for everything he's learned from Self.

Mason led the Big 12 in scoring and averaged 20.9 points. The Jayhawks were eliminated in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament by Oregon.

Ok?

Definitely!

And despite all the crap I've said about him this year, KJ has been good the past 5 games or so. Too bad he couldn't play like that every game.

I will say that if I was a #1 or #2 seed in the tourney, I would hate the committee for making us a 7/8 seed. We have the seed resume profile of a 6 and the talent level of a team much higher than that.

He wasn't half bad. ;)

Hell of a season. Finished the regular season 1-0.

Second 2nd season, LFG!

That dirty BASTARD!!!!!!

I can’t believe Self never listened to BWillie and gave all of Dickinson’s minutes to Stone Hands Bidunga.

Raise a banner?

I prefer when KU wins tbh

Kenpom agrees

That ship has sailed. I am now rooting for the individual players I like.

This team is not good.

It happens. It's incredible it's taken this long for us to suck.

Let's not go crazy.


Engrave it on a wine bottle and see where this goes.

Looks like Kansas will play the winner between Utah and UCF on Wednesday at 8:30 Central. If we win Wednesday, we will play Arizona again on Thursday.

Here's what I got:

Wed:
Iowa State > Oklahoma State
TCU > West Virginia
Baylor > K-State
Kansas > Utah

Thursday:
Iowa State > BYU
Houston > TCU
Texas Tech > Baylor
Kansas > Arizona


KU > Houston in the final

LFG@^@$!$!!!!

Or...KU gets tossed by Utah in their first game :(

Could go either way tbh

I'm 100% convinced Bill Self has been trolling KU fans all year with comments.

Zeke Mayo, 3rd Team All Big 12
Dajuan Harris, Honorable mention all Big 12
Zeke Mayo, All Big 12 Newcomer team

I agree. KJ should have been Honorable Mention.

Good for our guys!

Who was on the 1st team All Big 12

Who gives a shit

Hunter dickenson all big 12 first team and number one in our hearts

Flory woulda been 1st team all big 12 AND 1st team AA if he’d just had the chance.

If only Bill were half as smart as some of the posters here.

The goal is to be the best team as possible in March not worry about personal accolades.

Worst Jayhawks ever

Hunter Dickinson
Dedric Lawson
Naadir Tharpe
Charlie Moore
AJ Storr
Nick Timberlake

Holy shit how bad would that be as a team.

Just awful.

This will come as a surprise to the people who think this is the worst KU team they’ve ever seen…

KU’s efficiency rating on Torvik is higher than 7 of the last 12 KU teams. Only teams that were higher were the 16-18 teams that went to three straight elite 8s and a final four, and of course 2020 and ‘22.

And their rating has been much higher since Bill declared it a “new season.”

Yes, and they’d have been terrible if they’d given Dickinson’s minutes to Bidunga.

Tourney team. Replace Dickinson with Bidunga and they’re below .500.

The whole idea was give more of Bidungas minutes out of Dickinsons pool because Dickinson isn't going to get better. Bidunga will.

I know. Difficult concept to grasp.

As it is it may work out because it has hid Bidunga. I think he will be back unless he pulls a Cole Aldrich in the NCAAs.

Dickinson is a disgrace. Should not be able to wear the Crimson and Blue. Two of the worst Bill Self teams in a row and he is the key cog.

He should be ashamed he brought this sadness factory upon us.

I cannot wait until next year where that hollow stat padding shithead is gone and we have a real basketball team again.

I hope he eats a wangburger and has food poisoning for weeks.

Would we have been better with Flory getting more minutes than KJ?

Lol. That’s not the take I’m referring to. You said the team would be as good or better if all of HD’s minutes went to Bidunga.

I’d probably try to walk that one back too.

I like Bidunga’s potential, but it’s far from guaranteed that he’s ever at Dickinson’s level. Some of you act like you’ve never seen a player block a shot or flush a lob before. He’ll need to develop a bit more than that to be a star, and playing more minutes this year wasn’t going to magically give him post moves or shooting ability. Or improve his hands.

how long you going to continue with this troll effort?

No. The HOF coach was right again.

BWillie on this day in 1988:

“Manning is a disgrace. Should not be able to wear the Crimson and Blue. The two worst Larry Brown teams in a row and he is the key cog.”

LMAO

LMAO

This makes at least three KU fans on this board with more basketball knowledge than Bill Self. LMAO

Weird timing for this, following some great performances by KJ, while Bidunga looks more like a freshman than ever.

Until Dickinson is playing in the Serbian league and no longer a part of Kansas Basketball.

Well, he's been here since 2006.

If Dickinson isn't on this team, they're probably playing tomorrow.

Listen to Bwillie, he knew that Dennis Gates can't coach defense.

Yep.

And he can't.

Gates has been dodging questions about the defense for a month. Sickening.

The only thing I will miss less than this team after the season is done is the same arguments over the same guys in this thread over and over.

Nah. You are the outlier fan thinking KJ should be playing over Flory.

Can't wait to argue against points nobody is making about a new roster, LFG!

This guy I know said that based on his new system - IAJGATP - that KJ would be ranked as the best rebounder in the country.

An anagram for IAJGATP is
...PITA JAG.
