There are no positives from this game. The team looked like they are ready to be done with the season. Hard to see anything other than a first weekend exit.
-
It's become a yearly theme.

@BeddieKU23 I know the next coach won't be as successful but I think it's probably time. Also I hope the next coach is more of a "players coach".

This is no longer just a player issue that's for sure.
-
8th double digit loss of the season.
3 straight seasons with double digit losses, first since the mid 80's.
Concerning trends
-
let dp chuck 40 shots in the first weekend fuck it. At least I'll be more entertained then seeing the weave slop that we do every possession
-
just saw this was the fourth time in five games that we've shot under 40%....quite frankly I am ready for new ideas. When you have the potential #1 pick in the nba draft and the sheer gravity he generates on the basketball court, it should not be this hard to create open looks or score the basketball.

I still think you can’t move on until you’ve got a guarantee. I do not want a Mick Cronin situation.
And I genuinely don’t think KU has the money to move on. So there’s that.

Anyone else wake up just ticked off? March used to be one of if not my favorite month of the year for the last 30 years. For the second year in a row I’m not even remotely excited to watch basketball. I may very well pick Kansas to lose in the opening round, something I’d never done or hardly even thought about prior to last season. Kansas basketball has become depressing to me and that’s sad.

Yep, with the portal, we are now in the era of douchebag coaches. Hurley and Golden come to mind.
-
@BigBad they maybe "players" coaches though. Seems like that's who "fans" are looking for.
-
I dont think we need a douchebag to find a players coach. They just need to focus on the players needs first and channel that through style of coaching and play. Self doesnt do that.
-
We made 7 2pt. FG's. Out of 34 tries that seems impossible. Take away the meaning less three 3pt shots at the end of the game by Jamari and Kohl and we made 4 out of 20 from deep. These numbers are whatever but the first 5 minutes of the game ruined our confidence I think. Did we give up in the second half a bit?
-
@crimsonblu22 Yes it sure looked like it.
-
Needed another shotmaker outside of DP. Too bad Dawson was a total bust
-
I think I’ll reserve judgment on Self’s tenure until after the tourney.
I can say getting beat down by 20+ points more than a few times lately isn’t helping his cause. I thought we actually matched up well vs Houston. No reason to get smoked like that.
Watching our offense try to get an open look at times can be painful. That has to be on the coaching staff. I realize Houston has a top notch defense, but 47 points this late in the season? Jeez.
We 100% need some bench help. How bad is Dawson if he won’t even play him over Marko and Mari?
-
These guys checked out of this game right about the 19:20 mark of the first half

Do believe money is tight ATM but also Self is being paid a ton. Not saying to fire him if that's what you mean. Moreso hoping he also thinks it is time and retires. I am actually all for going a bit cheaper at hc and having more for the players.

I agree with people , seeing as long as we ready to run Bill out HELL YA let's run him out , I know this we sure DON'T want another Coach who won two National Championships for us , no indeedy absolute , we sure don't want another active HOF Coach- -I mean dam come on who would want that ? Then and , and , and why would we possibly ever want ANOTHER Coach that Coached us to what 12 , 13, straight Conference Championships in a row Sh - - Why would we ever want to enjoy something like that again ?
Agreed getting whupped over twenty is un called for , I mean whoever gets beat like that in a post season conference tourney ?- -I mean this was only a two seed whupping a three seed that just doesn't happen well-- -well -- -well- - I mean other then Florida getting their ass thumped by a four or five seed but I mean that's ok for Florida because they are Florida they are only the defending National Champion so that doesn't count why would we ever want another Coach like that I mean Florida Coach won a Championship so he gets a pass-but a Coach like that is not we need I mean seeing as Championships are Sooooo easy to win.
Those are reasons why no way in hell we want another Coach like the one we got now because that Coach has proven to be a dam good Coach---- a HOF Coach but dammit he is not perfect, not close so he has GOT TO GO and like now----get a rope
OH , OH , OH I got an idea by golly let's go out aaand bring that guy- -oh hell what was his name?- ummm , umm dag gummit-- what was it ?-- OH YA let's go get that guy name of ROY Williams drag him out of retirement who so many people for Ku thought his feet never touched the ground , thought he was the second coming of GOD , ya break out the wallets and bring that good ol boy back/ oh WAIT WAIT WAIT please tell me how many National Championships did that good ol boy win ? shoot gosh darn it that's right ZERO - - well poop that won't work now dammit he had jus the same level of talent if not more and didn't win ONE hmmm that almost the same as this current bum has only forgot this current bum had won two probably had the best chance to win Three if it wasn't for Covid BUT screw that this bum can't Coach let's run him out-- -get a rope.
OK . Ok don't get your Dobber down always got other great Coachs- -I KNOW here we go nailed this it this time-- by gosh , by golly let's go pull that Awesome Coach from that School that get's all these first round future NBA players year after year ya let's get him to be our next Coach let's see he has only in his 2nd year at Kentucky the Kentucky fans love him lmao has won yet BUT- -I mean dammit we need him because he has all these NBA players got to be him.
Ya I mean this current Coach can't Coach worth a hill of beans just because all these people say this league he tries to Coach in is considered the toughest league in the Nation all out war almost year in , year out- --he is an absolute bum YMCA Coach get him out of here- --get a rope I mean just because the only other one I think of is some dude I think that has won a title his name is Scott Drew just because he is the only other one other then KU's bum Coach who can't Coach a lick. lot's of talented players NO National titles --I know maybe Jerome can help out program sure National thing if we can pull him in.
