Yup.
But the vibe in the lockerroom will be better after the massive loss, and that's what counts.

Auburn was the worst matchup for KU in the whole field. Auburn is tough to game plan on one day

If we spent one day on auburn we deserved to get beat by 50.

Of course he needs guys around him.
LeBron just missed the playoffs.

We are just hoping to get it down below an embarrassing number now. You know, one of those alleged moral victories.

McCormack has finished this season on a really high note. He will be a 10/10 guy next year.

You’re definitely way more right on this than twocoach. But, I do think dedric’s numbers are rather superficial. I’d take him back but his impact doesn’t match the raw stats. He needs guys around him.
I've said similar before. Quietest 20 point night, lacks athleticism, not strong with the ball. But we asked him to be great every night to win and that's not fair.

The problem wasn't lawson it was the lack of supporting cast.

We may score 50 this half and still lose by 15.

Per Newell

KU's worst defensive efforts in Self's 578 games:

Texas Tech, 2019, 1.48 PPP
Villanova, 2018, 1.34
Oklahoma State, 2005, 1.31

Auburn at 1.45 PPP with 4:30 left.

You need to get a bit of crow on your high horse. At least a bite.
Because you were wrong.

Spot on. Just like perry wasn’t the problem in 2015, our reliability on his limitations were. Injuries and bungled GMing led to this.

That snare drum after each Auburn free throw is goddamn annoying.

Had to end with a Moore turnover.
