How do guys come and play for this coach?

Just a whiny, low agency loser.

Compare that to the leadership displayed by the UCLA women’s coach when discussing the fighting Illini women’s team:


Granted, that’s after a win. But there’s a reason she has one of the top ranked women’s teams and Cronin underperforms year after year.

Gonzaga has the formula down pat. Win some good non conference games, ride the usual media buzz through a conference with two tough games, get a high seed, get exposed in the round of 32. Repeat ad infinitum.
They have made the sweet 16 9 straight seasons prior to last year, where they got an 8 seed despite being the 8th best team in basketball, and lost in the second round in a historically top heavy year.

Reminds me of that clown at UConn.

Yeah Mick, you've never had superior talent because none of them want to play with an insufferable d!ck head like you.

I don’t know that it is obvious. Last night the official story was cramps. He seemed to just be sitting all half on the bench. Not trying to work out a cramp. I can tell you KU fans are increasingly annoyed and exasperated by him. He sat there on the bench as the lead slipped away last night seemingly care free.

Maybe we will find out something later that makes that complaining unfair.

The injury story doesn’t make a lot of sense. The kid doesn’t seem to want to play.
I dunno… it is unusual. Ankle, hamstring stuff and cramping. I guess for me it makes more sense that those are real issues as opposed to sand bagging. I would hope so🤷‍♂️

I would sure want to understand it well if I’m a GM with the first pick. Most players have some type of injury they are playing through during the season. And Self talking about how his parents will decide if he’s able to play is weird. And they only want him to play if he’s 100%. Doesn’t sound like the kind of toughness I’d want in a first pick. Again, maybe something going on that makes it legit but it’s very odd.

Florida looking much better in recent games. Up by 18 versus Alabama in the second half

Lot of smoke on X about B10 coaches and others ready to stand to together on the tampering and cheating going on with Michigan program. Here we go again, seems to be an issue in Ann Arbor. Im guessing they arent the only ones tampering or cheating, but perhaps NCAA should be taking some of the blame for this. They are just sitting around their corporate office not making any statements, or investigating anything

Anyone who disliked the DAWGS uniform in Champaign, don’t turn this game on. Washington appears to be playing in lavender pajamas.

Awful.
Agree, Washington unis were terrible. But, don't sicken yourself with the Iowa State - Kansas State game. Kansas State unis are worse... way worse. They going to have key transfers out just from that uniform alone.

I can’t stand the way Fears baits fouls and Izzo works the refs nonstop.

I know UM/MSU was a more defensive minded game, but our game with Purdue felt like such a higher level basketball game. If we play to that level I think we can beat both those teams. Easier said than done though. Izzo will have his guys try to bait fouls on Keaton just like he did with Kasparas last year.
I think we can beat Michigan because they struggle with shooting bigs (and because we always beat them), and I think we can beat MSU because we're just better than them.

That said, don't really think you can take much from any game played at Breslin. Just a different set of rules govern how those games are played and officiated

I missed the game but based on the comments it sounds like Maryland played Purdue like they played us- overly physical and aggressive against the bench guys when the game was far out of reach.

There has to be a story on how those K State uniforms came to exist.

Historical throwback or something?
