Just watching the very young looking Tyler looking lost towards the end. I feel he's in over his head. TA should be there, but he left and BU will not fire his own son.

Hey at least the preseason number one Jayhawks are getting beat by BYU by 36.
Look I'm never gonna say I give up on these guys but it is beyond frustrating how easy the fixes for this team are yet either the coaching staff refuses to change things or the players just don't give a crap. I'm beyond sick of the possessions where we chuck a three with 20-28 seconds on the shot clock. This team has proven we can't shoot the three without at least a ball rotation and even then we're still pretty bad. Why are Kylan, Ben, Tomi, and Jake Davis stepping into three point shots 2 feet beyond the arc without at least three passes in the possession??? I've heard so much crap about the analytics showing if we shoot and get offensive rebounds that's the strength of this team but what about when we have a player like Ben shooting under 35% on threes hucking a prayer with 26 left on the possession? Analytically...how is that not looked at as turnover more than two thirds of the time???? We've demonstrated we can easily get inside with drives which can be kicked out to shooters (and then whatever, shoot the open three) but why do over 50% of our shots continue to be from three when we are the second worst three-point shooting team in the Big Ten? Analytically...someone please try and make sense of this for me. I'll never rip the hustle or effort of our guys and I love this team through thick and thin but I'm not sure I've ever seen a team with this talent be wasted like this and I'm just not sure if it's the coaches or the players at this point.
This team has no cohesion. I know guys missing games hasn't helped but still. We look like five guys who have no idea what they should be doing at any given moment on the court. The regression is stunning.
Watching Wisconsin run their half court offense was a thing of beauty. They move so well without the ball. They move with purpose. They create great shots, and they have a guy like Tonje (reminds me of TSJ a bit) who can get his own shot when needed.
KJ is like a shell of the lottery pick we saw early. He's just lost out there. I think part of it has to be that we are having three different guys initiate the offense at different times.

brad aint taking no accountability in the post game. It will be non stop excuses on the injuries or flu. Sorry but thats not an excuse to not come out and fight.
Let him walk JW. If he comes and says he has an offer wish him luck. It can’t get any worse than this.
Weber would coach circles around Brad...
But our most talented player would be Jake Davis.

KJ has been way off ever since the brace went on.
Honestly don’t know where to go from here. Got dominated on the glass, defense was MIA at all levels and offense is as broken as ever. A team that had once brought a lot of joy is now pretty painful to watch. Not much hope for the next one but will still cheer them on hoping for the impossible.
We should get Bert on the court and run the barge. That would rule. Couldn’t be worse than Tyler.
Not exactly sure how much they returned (more than us) but it does seem to show how important it is to not just grab the 15 best players you can.
Gotta put the puzzle pieces together.

At least Kansas is down 38 to BYU right now. Poor Hunter...

This tailspin continues and don’t think you’ll see many returning.
What makes you think next year will be better?
I've been a HUGE BU supporter. But, I'm done. He has has AA talent multiple years, and hasn't led them to anything. Last year was a fluke. TSJ had the ability to take over games. Nobody has that this year and it shows.
For me to get excited about next year, BU and JW need to do a few things.
1) retain the two legit ACs on the staff and replace the pretenders with upgrades (looking at you underachieving, overpaid Underwood progeny and his BFF...be gone!).
2) sell your kidneys if need be to keep DGL, Rez, Will (if he isn't a 1st round pick), Tre, Tomi, and maybe Ty.
3) Go back to EDG recruiting.

Brad is slowly turning into Cal ... I am starting to see it more and more ...
Can’t believe I thought this team was Final 4 caliber.

I wouldn't blame them. If the team is in freefall and the two guys giving consistent effort and performance (DGL and Morez) are struggling to get playing time (wrist injury notwithstanding), then what reason is there for them to stay? I'd leave, too! What more could they possibly need to prove?
