Was that the same one we made a huge comeback and ESPN showed the Mayor's (bleach blonde) kids crying in the stands?

That was a helluva game and might have broken Iowa State's hoops program.

I just watched this whole game on Youtube last night.

Pivotal play came at the end of regulation, KU down 2 with 11 seconds left, EJ drove and Niang took what could have been called a charge. EJ landed on top of Niang, the ball fell right to EJ, he passed it out, but Niang was called for a foul. That sent EJ to the line for 2 free throws that tied the game. Really weird sequence.

I was also reminded of what an absolute stiff Withey was anytime he got the ball in the post. We complained about McCormack a lot this year, Withey was just as bad.

Really was a shame that we had to blow that gigantic lead against Michigan in the S16. McLemore (and the leftovers of 2012) seemed too good to end that way.

Also brings back up the question, would KU have beat Kentucky in 2012 if McLemore didn't have to sit out?

Wasn’t just the punch. He got called for a 10 second violation lollygagging the ball up the court, up 8 with two and a half to go. Got trapped later on the baseline, threw it back and into a MI player for a fast break. And the cherry on top was missing the 1-1 with 10 sec left. Allowing Burke to hit a 3 to tie it

It was noted that Self did the Calipari strategy of not fouling up 3 late. Self almost never does it

Ya EJ had a tendency to do things like that, if he played like he was capable I bet he would have had a long NBA career after guiding us to the Nati.

Sadly I just don't think he quite had the intellect to match his physical ability. Much, much better than say Vick's brain power though.

I have been telling people that when it's all said and done, Zuby may be the best player in this recruiting class. He is kind of an afterthought right now because people are focusing on Dick and Rice, and rightfully so, but we have seen what Self and this staff has done with undervalued recruits in the past.

From what I have read KU has never denied the payments; however, has been steadfast stating that the Adidas representative misrepresented the payments. There is a big difference proving a payment occurred and actually proving the school was in collusion. Considering we are heading into the 2023 season and this was in 2019....

Self's not taking an NBA job at this stage.

He's also not going to be suspended for two years. I did hear a rumor that they might suspend he and Townsend from the postseason for a couple years. That's probably closer to a possibility.

Ummm, you don't have to "pull receipts" because I remember that just fine. That's exactly why I didn't even think of it when you said I was "holding onto an online beef from 10 years ago." This has nothing to do with that and everything to do with your trolling.

Och is going to be the only KU player drafted this year.

I will never fault a kid for going pro, but it hurts that we consistently lose players early that never get drafted, or are almost immediately relegated to playing in the G League or overseas.

I was hoping NIL would help stop this, so hopefully Braun comes back. He doesn't need money, so it's not like Cole leaving. He could come back, be the Man on the court, and the BMOC, and probably improve his chance at having a real NBA career.

Congrats to Ochai Agbaji and Christian Braun (it's pronounced "Brown", Mr Plow).

Dave, you might still have a chance.


https://fox4kc.com/sports/college/ja...ing-undrafted/

LAWRENCE, Kan. — On a night where he heard two of his former teammates’ names be selected during the 2022 NBA Draft, former Kansas Jayhawk David McCormack reacted with one word.

BET.

@D_MACK33
While McCormack waited around to hear his name, fellow former Jayhawks Ochai Agbaji and Christian Braun were drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver nuggets, respectively.

During Kansas’ 2022 National Championship run, the big man came up even bigger in the final moments of the championship game against the North Carolina Tar Heels.

With 22 seconds left, McCormack brought in a huge rebound followed by a hook shot that gave KU the a 72-69 lead. A shot that will forever be remembered in Lawrence.

He averaged 13.1 points per game and 6.3 rebounds throughout the tournament and was joined by Agabji on to the All-Tournament Team after the season. Both declared for the draft shortly after.

Now, McCormack and a long list of players that didn’t get selected will look for workout opportunities with NBA teams in hopes of signing on as undrafted free agents.

The NBA Summer League tips off on Tuesday, July 5.

Yeah, it looks like it on the surface, but it was before the Natty win, and being drafted doesn't mean you end up in the league.

Frank Mason was the consensus NPOY, and look where he is now. KU has a history of getting players drafted who are out of the league quickly, or become career journeymen because they don't really have the talent.

TT was drafted and bounced quickly. Josh Jackson was a lottery pick, 4th overall, and is on his 4th NBA team already. T-Rob was also a high draft pick that ended up a bust.

Someone said Braun was going to get a GM fired, and they may not be correct, because it takes multiple bad drafts to get an NBA GM fired, but he isn't making anyone look like a genius.

Without the 41" vertical, there really isn't anything about his game that is NBA caliber.

Braun has one of the slowest releases on his jumper anyone has ever seen, and he cannot shoot coming off a screen. When he was picked, he wasn't even the 10th best player available on every Best Player Available draft board on the internet, including Bilas' Best Available Players list.

I am sorry, but it was a ridiculous pick at #21.

A pick in the 20s won’t get someone fired. That’s a joke.

Should’ve stuck around and gotten a tan. Lottery.

A lot of teams and scouts liked Braun. This isn’t a case of one GM going out on a limb.

I didn’t view Braun as a first round pick, but I’d trust the opinions of people in the business over mine or yours.

There's a lot of truth that the perception with some around here is that white guys can't be as athletic.

Admittedly, I didn't think Braun was a 1st rd talent. But hey, wtf do I know?
