I still think these kids have it. I like the small line up a lot.

Re: Perspective
Playing a lot better than we were.
The execution to finish out the game against a good team was frustrating.
A loss was foreseeable. How we lost is disappointing

Re: Perspective
yeah. it woulda been one thing to be in a dogfight all game and just come down to one play not swinging our way.
but we pissed away a big lead, then had multiple opportunities to tie or lead down the stretch, and kept fucking it up.

i said this after the baylor game, that it really didn’t look to me that we were so incredibly outmatched as much as it did that we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot

Except the bad thing for KU each of them still results in a L.

Good teams find ways to win and bad ones find ways to lose.

Re: Perspective
Last night's game is when you'd have Frank 2017, D'Tae 2018 put the team on their back and finish.
One player short.

Re: Perspective
or, last night's game is when you'd have a 14 point lead, and finish with a 28 point lead.
Re: Perspective
regardless of time in the game, how many other times has a Self KU team blown a 14 point lead?
more often than not, that becomes a bigger lead yet.
but this year isn't like most.

Re: Perspective
It happens more often than some think.
About happened Saturday too.
One small gripe that I have about Self is that he's kind of like Andy Reid and the Chiefs. They have a tendency to coast. Which is completely understandable, but it seems like KU doesn't beat teams like a drum anymore. Do they have games where they are clearly better and they are constantly ahead by 10-15 and it stays that way til the end, yeah. But it would be nice to just come out and make a 15 point lead at half a 30 point win.
That doesn't happen much.

Re: Perspective
College kids and the nature of basketball.
I think it's pretty rare to see a league game just keep stretching a big lead. Now against Omaha, sure.
Re: Perspective
That's one thing Roi had over Bill. Get a lead and just put the pedal down.

Re: Perspective
I'm as much of a Roy guy as anyone but the difference between players then and now is completely different. The talent gap between the top and bottom has shrunk dramatically not to mention with playing teams twice you can't hide or surprise anything. Case in point OU losing to State last night.

19 point lead at halftime, 45 point victory.
Louisville just got off a break, but the point stands. Dude doesn't let off the gas when he has a lead.

Re: Perspective
Yeah, but I am glad that over the past 17 years we haven't been playing like a Roy Williams defense.
We are witnessing, by KU standards, a down year. 8 out of 10 D1 programs would love for their "down" year to be this horrific.

Yeah, if you picked 100 characteristic of a coach, Self is better at ~75 of them than Roi.jeepinjayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 11:56 am Yeah, but I am glad that over the past 17 years we haven't been playing like a Roy Williams defense.

Re: Perspective
Big thing I noticed. ESPN says Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State and UNC all having down years. Bitch KU was out of the top 25 for 1 week, for the first time in like 12 years and they are still winning 66% of their games.jeepinjayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 11:56 am Yeah, but I am glad that over the past 17 years we haven't been playing like a Roy Williams defense.

FOH with that.
