I am as guilty of being a bitch as anyone/everyone but my God, is there anything good about being a fan of the KU Basketball team in 2025? I seriously question if people answer - no.
I like Mayo. He understands what an honor it is to wear the jersey.

I like Flory. He doesn’t seem to be jaded yet. Sadly, I doubt he’ll be around after this year.

I wish Dajuan and KJ were gone so they could be replaced with better fits for this team at their positions.

I was very pro-Hunter at the beginning. I’m pretty meh now.

I don’t care that much if we win anything really.


for real, what do you think we even play the games for, participation trophies?
Well actually that’s not true tonight bc I got money on KU.

Somebody was saying that earlier today and got called a “bad fan.”

He put the ball in Mayo's hands despite all evidence showing it should be anyone else.

He kept going with Hunter on Roberts just letting him score over and over.

He played Juan 46 minutes despite acknowledging he can't play that much.

How the fuck is that on the players.

Houston is good. Individually HD Bidunga DH Griffen and Mayo all played well. Not perfect though. And the mistakes we did make were huge.

You can't get a fucking 5 second call with timeouts in your pocket. You can't throw a wild in bounds pass to HD in the backcourt and give up a 3. And you can't miss 2 fucking free throws if you are a PG.

I agree with this I think. Our players played well. Houston is good. Individually HD Bidunga DH Griffen and Mayo all played well.

I’ve heard that some teams actually drill inbounds plays in practice. Or something like that.

Houston = final 4 caliber. KU = not there yet.

I really really really wanna believe this team could scrap and scratch and scrape together 4+ tournament Ws

And not that they can’t!

But I’d feel more confident about that if we could pull out games like this.

We were up 6 with :18 in OT or some shit

At home!

Nope. But we're close. And the tournament is a crapshoot.

Bidunga had 4 fouls, what else could Self do?

Use up all the fouls. He eventually did it, it was just too late

If Bidunga fouls out in regulation.....we aren't in double OT. we're in the locker room talking about a loss......which....we also are now because of another very strange set of events.

In the words of Jerry Jones...



I miss the glory days (what he meant to say). They're gone and not coming back. Even if we win big (in coming years) the connection the fans and players had is gone in many ways.

I'm scared for whatever comes after Self. Those people on phog freaking out that we should move on should be careful what they wish for.
