@Tallturd1 We admire Rick for doing that? Please remove the we part because I sure don't admire him for that disgusting act and resulting abortion.

This Texas and NCState game features two of the sleazier coaches in college basketball.

@BeddieKU23 I know a good game plan for a 6 footer who throws prayers up in the lane. Have Flory swat those all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Got a great announcing crew for our game with Kevin Harlan (FIL of former badger Sam Dekker, father of Sams wife Olivia who is a TV personality doing NFL football stuff.). Robbie Hummel is one of the best young announcers in basketball and Stan Van Gundy is really good too.

Illinois' got a nice gripe too as the 3 seed will likely have to play UNC in the 2nd round in Greenville, SC.

DP has led us through the ups and downs for sure. A lot of us were thinking ok, once B12 play starts he's gonna start giving us major minutes, When that didn't happen, we were thinking 2nd half of league play. Kind of where it started, but even then, without a ton of team success. Recently we've been silently wishing for him to unleash his arsenal of all world skills once the tournament begins and lead us to the promised land. It's that time, but I really don't see it.

@kjayhawks2.0 I loathe that immoral man. I never want to give any credit to him for anything.

This is the year we make it out of the first weekend.

@approxinfinity Huggy surprised no one sad to say when he flamed out.

@approxinfinity That's a good thought. You don't want to see him bow out in a cloud of 'good riddance' type stuff.

Is he coaching his last big dance? He told media members not to believe the internet rumors that he's done. But coaches are understandably shy about rumors they're leaving a job, anyone remember "I don't give a sh..about the North Carolina job"?

What's changed since a trophy in 2022? I'd say Houston, Zona for starters, and even BYU a little. During his remarkable streak Baylor and ISU usually were the biggest challengers to winning the league. Texas/OU sometimes. But adding 3-4 more tough games just seems like it's overwhelmed our team.

Go back to Larry Browns last 2 seasons and Roys first to find us losing double digits games 3 seasons in a row. In fact before this streak, he'd only lost 10 in a season twice, 2014 and 2019. Presuming he makes it deep in the tourney the COVID year, he's only survived past the first. weekend 1 time, of course in a big way in 2022. 5 times through 2018 season he didn't make it past the 1st weekend of the dance, and it's been 5 times since then.

Even more concerning is the number of blowout losses. 2007 was a 13 point loss to UCLA. 10 point loss felt like a blowout to VCU in 2011. 13 point loss to WSU in 2015. Then after the 2018 final four (also a blowout loss, the only time I ever turned off one of our final four games), came bad losses to USC, Auburn, and closer bad losses seedwise to Arkansas and even a game we should have lost to Samford 2 years ago, and then got destroyed by Gonzaga. So lately, not just regular season, but postseason have we regularly endured really hard turn it off, check back on the game to see if we came back losses frequently.

To me that last paragraph is a sign Bill has lost his edge a little bit. Maybe this year turns out differently if DP lives up to the hype. Wins this season against all the big boys in our conference still gives me hope for 2026. But when will the time come we're searching for a new coach?

I wonder if Bill Self has lost interest.

Vote me off the island, I don't care.

Changed the channel.

We stinks.

@JoJoAndMe I remember. Every time I'm tempted to think he seems like a nice older man and coach I think of that.

That kid sold that to that ref. Jackson not having a good minute here.

Bilas thought that was a foul but I didn't.
