Because you’re a KU basketball fan. It has been much worse.

Yeah, when I was 17. For one year.

I turn 49 in a few weeks.

Talking about the choke jobs. Pretty prevalent under Bill. Of course that means we also smashed the regular season.

But this applies so very much to everyone else on this team.
Believe it or not, and I know most of you don't believe it because you think if a big has it by the basket, he should be able to dunk it like Dok did, but Dave has been 'on' more than rest of the team who doesn't get shit for shooting 30% ( or in Garrett's case, 16% ).

Dave loses us possessions that don't show up in the numbers. A ton of them.

And we don't need him to be able to dunk like Dok. But we need him to be able to make a dunk from point blank with nobody within 5 feet of him. And then, when he misses, to be able to catch the ball instead of tipping it to the other team..

Dave is fine in the right role. Our Coach and fans rely too much on him.

How many leads worse than 14 have we lost in the last 15 years?

Our big man sent the game to OT, left the game in OT with 1:30 left and KU up 2 and was our 3rd leading scorer, while taking 9 shots.

Meanwhile Wilson, Agbaji and Garrett combine for 11-39 from the field and it's DMac's fault.

Love for some of you to sit down in a room with Bill Self and Jay Bilas and talk about your theories.

I am sure Self would happily rely in someone else if they proved to be more reliable. Unfortunately no one else has. Garrett sucks at scoring. Agbaji and Braun disappear frequently. Wilson goes ice cold regularly.

Comes up short in the biggest games. As I said earlier, I'm sure he's a great guy, but possibly worst big we've had in decades.

He also had 12 points, sent the game into OT, had a clutch assist to start OT, and left the game with KU on top.

Garrett misses a game tying lay in and goes 2-12.
Wilson misses a game tying lay in, key free throws and goes 4-12.
Ochai misses an open jumper from 15 feet, misses a 3 pointer with 30 seconds left, and goes 5-15.

It's all on soft Dave tho.
