@tabby_laz Well, he left KU to coach at Haskell Institute then Warrensburg Teachers College before returning to KU for a 37 year run…..

Phog turned KU into a major coaching job

@JhawkRich Dan Hurley makes it hard to be a UConn supporter too

I’m in an NCAA bracket dilemma!

If Duke wins 2 more games I win our office pool.

If Duke loses today I’ll finish 3rd.

Do I cheer for Duke or not?

@beisbolrulez And Allen Fieldhouse was half empty for his first games in December 1983. I bought a GA ticket for $10 & sat at half court just above the rail behind the retractable bleachers.

Ted Owens 34
Larry Brown 42
Roy Williams 37
Bill Self 40

@Rcjh19 Close, Larry was 42 & Bill was 40, but point well taken. KU historically has hired coaches on the younger side with something to prove.

Emergency KU athletics department meeting scheduled for 1:00 Monday.

[JamesFreakinNaismith @NamesJaysmith]

The comeback started when Kohl entered the game. Let that sink in folks. It’s on the coaching staff that didn’t work him into the lineup earlier in the season, and earlier in this game.
See you next year.

Where is the offensive ball movement

[JamesFreakinNaismith @NamesJaysmith]

Elmarko is not the answer

[JamesFreakinNaismith @NamesJaysmith]

What an asinine statement by the announcer of how that foul might have been on Darryn

[JamesFreakinNaismith @NamesJaysmith]

@JayhawkTalk @royals312 I’ve scared my youngest child with the screaming!

[JamesFreakinNaismith @NamesJaysmith]

Foul before shot click, but not shooting yet, 1 & 1

[JamesFreakinNaismith @NamesJaysmith]

TCU pissing down their leg, oh boy!

I’m sorry, basketball is a ridiculous sport that should never have been invented!!
