-This is just painful. This team is just bad, bad, bad. Nothing good to take from this game. Tennessee wasn’t exactly blowing to door off teams and here comes the Jayhawks who make them look all world. This was going to be a tough game but to just get blown out is pathetic. This team is mentally frail..frustrating. Maybe we best for KU to have a total collapse and have a res

I don’t think it is so much that we are bad as it is that we have little talent. This is easily the least talented team under Self. But I agree, that in addition to being overmatched, we do not play well in many ways. We grabbed 5 of 36 offensive boards. That is mind-bogglingly bad. No one has accused Tennessee of being a great offensive team and we gave them 1.23 points per possession. I mean it is hard to understate how bad that is. We will not finish in the top 25 this season. Nor should we. We are not one of the top 25 teams in the country. And next season is not looking any better. The NCAA has succeeded in taking down Kansas.

Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagon!!

I have a few NSFW words for the NCAA- but his is a family board. Clean house this is not acceptable at Kansas. To have a JV basketball team at Kansas is unbelievable. There is no joy in watching these guys play, no heart, not guts and freaking no talent.

As some college coach once said. "You're not as good as you look when you win and you're not as bad as you look when you lose." I think this team is going through a real rough patch right now and I think a lot of it has to do with pressing, and letting missed shots affect the next one. Hopefully they will get over that and start making shots again. The team has really struggled to make shots even when they are open. Tenn, shot better than 60 % from 3. That is pretty good shooting and something they will not keep up.

This will most likely be the worst season under Bill Self. But let’s not forget, we were one corona virus away from a likely national championship last year. This is one bad season.

However, I truly believe we’re seeing the culmination and final result of the NCAA sanction process. Our talent is low, but more so I believe the coaches are worn out, stressed, whatever. Or maybe they know what’s coming, and know they’re in real trouble.

Players playing without passion or grit, and nary a word from Coach Self about that. He must accept the fact his players aren’t as talented, but to accept and permit such a low level of energy, defensive commitment, etc. is evidence that the candle has burned out throughout the organization.

I also question the lack of new blood in our assistant coaching ranks. the guys we have left are the ones without options to move up and out. Self’s key coaches are gone to bigger jobs, and he hasn’t replaced them with anyone other than two guys who’s names keep coming up in pay for play taped phone calls.

I hate to say, but it’s time to pay the piper, and start fresh.

Will this recent loss, will the Jayhawks finally see their streak of being ranked in the AP top 25 come to end? The streak began on February 2, 2009.

you guys are frigging hilarious. did kentucky, unc, duke and msu also get bad all of sudden? coaches all turned bad? ncaa potential penalties affecting all of them? is it just as possible that the impact of covid on the lives of 18 yr olds coupled with the lack of true home court advantage has impacted lots of programs including our own. plus we almost always have lapses in late january in conjunction with finals. this years team has a 3.45 gpa so has a number of student athletes taking real classes requiring real studying and distracted focus off the court. i like this team a lot tho it has weaknesses. every team does. i think we will finish the conf season respectably and if we start making threes again could surprise some people in the tournament. but mostly i am excited abt the fact that our play this year means that everyone except Marcus and mitch come back and we have three terrific recruits coming in despite the ncaa shadow. with the best coach in college basketball i like our chances. we are so spoiled as a fan base. i wish we cld keep some perspective around whats possible and whats not.
