5:46 I agree this is what has made Otz's regime a success at Iowa State and it is exactly what has made Tang a failure in Manhattan. As for KU, Self can get more talented and ballyhooed players than Iowa State, but the trick is getting the pieces to fit together. Jayhawks have struggled with that the last couple years.
Watching Dickinson quit on plays and fall asleep on defense and rebounding is causing me major headaches. What sucks is watching the other team simply play harder while our guys are standing around or kind of acting like they're trying. Going through the motions. Expecting our shots to fall and their not to. And then not blocking out. They need a football mentality of playing until you hear the whistle. Then take your tired ass to the bench for some oxygen, and getting back in there to do it again. Congrats to Iowa State. They have earned and deserve their ranking. The GAVE it to us and we haven't earned it. LOVE what T.J. has done at Iowa State. He's a terrific coach.
I’ve never liked Hunt’s game. He came here being a big could shoot 3s, but that’s now a liability. When you’re 7.2 and soft, ya gotta make it up somewhere. Never believed we could win a national championship with him. Ya gotta give Iowa State a helluva lot a credit because they are not in the running for 4s and 5s, McDonald’s all American types like KU does. This coach does a great job with what he can get.
You can see how frustrating it is to coach this team. Hunter forgets he’s 7 2, DuJuan can’t finish around the bucket. KJ and Harris can’t be on the floor together with no offensive output. Going to have to try a different offense Bill. Harris can’t make teams pay after the initial ball screen. Teams know he’d much rather pass than shoot the floater so you can just sag off him and not fight the pick. Teams also sag off KJ now. I dunno man because if you watched the game to start the second half, Bill called hunters number twice and he turned the ball over TWICE lol I mean, KJ Hunter and Dejuan need to be better leaders. Not enough 🐕 dog in these young men.
Ya, I remember when we had point guards who could drive the lane and consistently score close to the basket. Mario Chalmers, Frank Mason, Devonte Graham, Remy Martin. Remember those point guards? Dajuan’s style can work when you have consistent scorers around him. That worked in 2021-22, but it doesn’t work now when we seem to be challenged offensively at times.
We just next to struggle through the year and look forward to HD, Harris, and KJ leaving. I cannot wait. They jam up everything, steal all the minutes because of their seniority, and always come up short. Harris going 1/5 from the free throw line is unacceptable for a 32 year senior “leader”
Hunter thought the game was in Iowa City, tonight. There will be plenty more games like this during the season. Self has a lazy, unathletic big making over a million dollars and an athletic but not ready for prime-time big who clearly wasn't prepared for the environment or physicality of the game. That's it. (Please don't suggest Clemence deserves a chance.) How can a program that allegedly is one of the top 20 NIL money programs have such horrible roster construction?
@DillonCraft-l7i Yes, Bidunga does need more time. As I have said elsewhere, he should have been getting 25-30 minutes a game in the non-conference part of the schedule so he would be more prepared for the grind of the physical Big 12 schedule. Instead, he got 12-15 minutes which is typical Bill Self "development." And Self needed to go into the season with at least 3 bigs.
Don’t agree. Quite simply, we lack hustle. No 50/50 balls, hell no 80/20 either. There is no excuse for lack hustle. It’s a damn privilege to put on that Kansas jersey. Remembering all the guys before you. I don’t see that.
Nah. We lose the 3 giant issues and a chunk will remain. So ecstatic yo see Harris KJ and Hunter go. KJ is bitter sweet since the kid tries but just has 0 offensive ability whatsoever.

Props to Self for the praise!
Hunter is soft.

Hahaha bill, what’s so funny? Quit deflecting and address the fact that u spent a lot of money on Hunter and he sucks. Bench him.

Pathetic media not asking questions about the awful lineups and Rylan not playing first 13 minutes of 2nd half. Only there to carry Self’s water
No doubt manz
Hunter is a loser. Makes losing plays. He's a stain on the Kansas jersey.

Spot on. Everyone blaming bill. It’s still early- we gotta believe. Never give up on Bill self. There’s no place like Kansas.
@@lukeboyd3599Amen!
After the Arkansas loss in the tourney a few years ago, I expected big things from KJ after that and he’s never really improved since then.

No, actually Flory deserves more than 11 minutes a game.
@@DillonCraft-l7i Correct 💯
