Hi guys.

My kids are now five and almost three. Two kids, and two professional careers (Mrs. SHB and I), continuing education, and various and sundry other obligations later it's been a blessing at this point that my interest in following the team has declined proportionally to my ability to do so ...

salim'sheadband

More coming soon.

Get fucked Kevin Ollie.

Aw shucks.

I'm definitely dropping "flash in the wind" into casual conversation soon and seeing if anyone calls me on it.

He blocked me from seeing his tweets now.

If you wanna know who he is, go to my Twitter and look at my last tweet. The douche known as Machina in here goes by his real name, which rhymes with Machina....

He's such a pathetic loser, afraid to stand by what he types.

Vageena?

We will very much need Jackson in order to keep pace next year. If we get Jackson and Smith back healthy, and retain who we have now, I'll take our squad against anyone.

salim'sheadband

But how did we shoot them against St. Mary's?

salim'sheadband

Not to mention the missed free throws, which kept the game interesting in the first half.

Trier and Pitts did what they did without starting. That's a good thing. All that matters is minutes and results. Did the team improve appreciably when Rondae finally started? Not really. The slow starts ...

salim'sheadband

Lots of good things happened tonight:

Allonzo Trier. Should start. Play him at center, I don't care. The T-shirt was less bad tonight but Trier is a star.

Pitts. I'll disagree with my four-score-and-seventeen feline colleague. I liked what I saw from Pitts tonight. He had good chemistry with ...

salim'sheadband

Trier on the floor should get better with each game. I like that above combo of players on the court as starters. Toll needs to step it up soon.

Allen
York
Trier
Anderson
Zeus

Does this lineup strike anyone else as smallish? Probably a non-issue unless we play a team with a huge SF.

Trier is 6 ...

There's your starting 5. I liked what I saw from Trier last night, even though he went 1-10. He was aggressive and, at least to my eyes, a willing defender. Tollefsen was a complete liability on defense. If, on balance, they're basically bringing the same thing to the ...

Happy Machina-freaked-out-because-we-"lost"-to-St.-Mary's-day everyone. Hope you celebrated.

Critically acclaimed.

That’s how Bill Simmons described the Seven Seconds or Less Suns. Great team. Never won anything that really mattered. Like a movie you look back on 10 years later and think “Man, that movie never won any Academy Awards?” On all the top ten lists. Great actors. Good director ...

salim'sheadband

I'd rather Brown to KU than Cal. Michigan over either.

salim'sheadband

Oh my God. This would be like someone photoshopping Mike Dunleavy or Deron Williams into a U of A jersey. I wouldn't be able to convict the Kansas fan who killed everyone responsible for this.

Forget about size in a vacuum. Duke just won a title with a 6-6 power forward. Michigan St. just made (another) Final Four with a 6-9 center and a 6-6 power forward. The best players need to just play. We're going to have a bunch of good players 6-4 or smaller. Maybe Tollefsen has the lateral ...

salim'sheadband

To me, Tollefsen has the hallmarks of a really good offensive player. Granted his number came against WCC teams but he was his team's first option every night. 38% career three-point shooter, including last season. Made 42 last year which would have been one behind Stanley for second-most on the ...

To piggyback off of what LWF said:

I post there a lot because enjoy the interaction with Scheer, Gershon, a few others. The thing that bothers me the most about TOS is that people will make threads with analysis or interesting points, that get maybe two or three responses. Someone makes a whole ...

The marks of the die-hard:

You do not enjoy games as much as you endure them.

Winning doesn't make you happy, just relieved.

salim'sheadband

My wife gets it, bless her. She's a fan.

My best friend doesn't. I tell him: "It's not a good life."

salim'sheadband

What was it, two Sweet Sixteen teams?

salim'sheadband

Once again, we catch no break in the Elite Eight.

Guess we'll have to do this one the hard way.

salim'sheadband

Why are people still talking about Lawrence St.? They got eliminated by Wichita St. We should be talking about the one Kansas team left in the tourney.

I mean, the investigation could take FOUR or FIVE WEEKS. That's a long time. We shouldn't be too hasty now.

salim'sheadband

Oh wait, yes you did: the Jalen Reynolds "incident" was him punching a girl.

salim'sheadband

I'm not saying Bill Self needs to run Kansas like Belichick runs the Patriots. But you'd think after about three of these he'd tell his players to Shut. The Fuck. Up.

salim'sheadband

There is a serious discipline issue at Kansas.

Stop me if you've heard this one before:

In 2010, Kansas was set to play Northern Iowa in the second round. The day before the game, " a few Jayhawks started chirping at the Panthers before warmups. 'Then we didn’t care anymore. Once somebody starts ...

salim'sheadband

Yes apparently College Basketball Reference only counts leaders from 1997 on even though it keeps stats from longer than that. Kind of pissed me off, actually. I hate being wrong about that shit.

But yes, he would need about 20 more. Not 4 more.

salim'sheadband

Wayne Selden and Brannen Green in 43 combined minutes of playing time:

0-4 from 2, 0-3 from 3, NO FT attempts, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, no blocks

You see, the thing I love about our players, even when they're not playing well, is that they always play hard. Stanley and Rondae against not The ...

salim'sheadband

Anyway, back on topic. When does Kansas hang the #1 RPI banner?

salim'sheadband

Honestly, the fact that Sam Brownback showed up in the WSU locker room is almost enough to make me root for Kansas, if I didn't think he was slimy enough to do the same thing for the Jayhawks if they won.

He would have had a Kansas shirt on. They showed him during the telecast and he had a WSU vs ...

As I said. Wichita St. is the premier program in Kansas. The Big XII is full of (not even) Sweet Sixteen teams. This was not Kansas-hating hyperbole. It was simply the truth. None of this should surprise anyone.

salim'sheadband

Excited to watch Kansas play against the premier program in Kansas today.

salim'sheadband

Thanks guys.

Hoiberg too!

In the battle of which coach do we want scheming against Kaminsky, I'll take Dana Altman over Travis Ford. Go Oregon.

kentucky will squash oregon like a bug.
They'd have to beat us first.

8 is interesting

Already chased to 9 and 9.5.

I would have rather played VCU minus a starter (they are not a 7 seed level team right now), but OSU is a great matchup scenario for us as long as we can keep Rondae on the floor. He is like a cover corner in football...he just ...

Ya, it is indeed a steaming pile of shit. Oregon would have won the league

So I was really, really wrong about the Big XII having a bunch of Sweet Sixteen teams.

I'll admit it, I was wrong when I said the Big XII was a conference full of sweet sixteen teams.

perfect storm for Kentucky. Of course they glide through an SEC in the year florida was absolutely brutal (think they finished the entire season under 500).

Posted on TOS:

Don't love the Wisconsin matchup. Would have preferred Villanova. But I'm leery of the school of thought that we would have been better off with Duke. In a vacuum, I'll take my chances with Miller's revenge match against Wisconsin than trying to beat the best coach of all time three ...
