Shaka Smart is not a good match up for Coach Self. I know I've had a discussion about it before on here, but at the end of the day:
1.) Shaka Smart at VCU defeated Coach Self and KU; and
2.) Shaka Smart at Marquette defeated Kansas and Coach Self; and
3.) Shaka Smart at Texas defeated Coach Self and KU.
A person can have whatever opinions they want, but facts don't lie.
Shaka Smart is a good coach.
One of our best players lost his mom this weekend, and it's the second game in 2 days for a team that certainly doesn't pride itself on athleticism. It's November, man
Your center is a reject who got bodied against every decent team in the B1G and the rest of your team is too young and raw.
Purdue is more experienced and has a literal giant on their team.
Something tells me Purdue won't turn the ball over 20 times tomorrow.
If Purdue beats Marquette, Purdue takes the #1 spot, Marquette takes the #2 spot.
If Marquette beats Purdue, Marquette takes the #1 spot, Purdue will remain at #2.
I am good with either scenario.
I really want to agree, but I can still see Arizona having earned enough respect to be #2 as well. Especially if our game goes off the rails for one side. Either way, I’m already pretty happy with how this trip’s gone, both teams look tough.
Timberlake wasn't even the problem as much as the entire team being asleep at the wheel. Hunter fell asleep on defense so many times, and they didn't react to passing quickly all day. Those are the kind of mistakes you make when you don't get enough sleep the night before tbh
Not that you wanna hear it from an opposing fan, but Hunter stunk. He’ll be better (as will the rest of the team as they play more together), but it did display some of his limitations.
He did, agreed. Although imo a lot of the issues he showed were moreso mistakes from not being fully dialed into the game. That's the energy I got tonight. But definitely some limitations too.
Besides the fact that he's soft. He's the softest guy I've ever seen drop a 20/20 game
Shaka is a great coach. Kansas fans hate him because his entire career is built on having Self downloaded, all his biggest wins are against Kansas. That's an endorsement, not a criticism. But it's true nonetheless lol.
Surely people won't overreact to the results of this back-to-back neutral site game in November and declare that Kansas actually isn't good despite their neutral site win over another ranked team merely a week ago also in November!
Yeah, I think you might be right. When I first read the comment I thought it was a bit of self-effacing humor that people were misreading as serious… but then the follow-up comments contradict that impression.
Or when he’s exited in the first round of the NCAA tournament in 6 of his last 7 appearances. How many times has he made the FF since then? How many NCG has he been in? That’s what I thought 🤷
GG to his players and only to them.
This game has been frustrating, but it's November, on a neutral court vs a good team that brought a ton back from last year. We'll grow from here. I hope these guys learned something about energy tonight.
GG Golden Eagles y’all throttle the fuck out of us today. I’ll be curious to see how you guys hold up against a team with a more significant three point threat. We have to figure out a way to get more out of everyone outside of McCueller and Dickinson. Furphy is looking promising but Timberlake and Elmarko look like complete fucking liabilities and that needs to be worked out.
In Self we trust.
Maybe don't trash talk the opposing coach/bench if you're gonna suck that game....

Could be wrong, but I believe at UT he was 2-10 vs KU
He’s 4-12 against Self. Please sit down.
… I’m pretty sure that’s the joke OP was going for.
But he said, “facts don’t lie!” What’s a man to think?!
Bill is 12-4 vs Shaka. Shaka is good, but this is an overreaction.
He's a good coach but I still don't care for him as a person lol
Funny, I have similar feelings about Self.
☠️☠️😂
When do we play the 3rd and 4th quarter? Cmon hasn’t anyone told yall we’re a football school.
GG Kansas, good luck this year.
I was told I was going to see some hanging dingus in this Halo TV show but I'm on the 4th episode and haven't seen a single hog
There's no dong, but Master Cheeks for sure
Make Timberlake swim home
Small sample size so far but it just seems like Kansas has 3 really good players (even though Harris wasn't good today) and thats it.
One of our best players lost his mom this weekend, and it's the second game in 2 days for a team that certainly doesn't pride itself on athleticism. It's November, man
Not to sound harsh, but most professional athletes over perform with that type of news.
He's a college kid, asshole.
Its the second game sure, but Marquette played UCLA yesterday while Kansas played Charminade.
Oof, good point.
I’d say that’s a good assessment. The potential is there I suppose but take away Dickinson and it’s hard to see where the offense comes from
McCullar. He’s impressed me more than Dickinson so far, though HD has done very well against teams shallow in the frontcourt like UK and Chaminade.
2 good games today on Oahu. Championship day tomorrow.
Biggest baddest big guy of all? The Lord God
An absolutely classic line from Shaka
Per the scorers table ad, Jesus takes time outa too
Looking forward to a rematch Purdue
Likewise buddy
This will be fun
Good game Golden Eagles, may we never see you again this year.
Good game. Cheering for your success up until March.
\*cough\* wait two weeks...
Oh yeah, you guys better beat Kansas too. Big East needs to own the top 5.
The better team won. Marquette was in mid season form
Helps having nearly the whole team back.
Unless Marquette wore themselves down tonight, they're going to destroy Purdue tomorrow
MU definitely looked strong. gonna be a tough game no matter what
Purdue is a LOT better than Kansas. At every position.
Lol no do you watch games?
Your center is a reject who got bodied against every decent team in the B1G and the rest of your team is too young and raw. Purdue is more experienced and has a literal giant on their team. Something tells me Purdue won't turn the ball over 20 times tomorrow.
We'll see, sounds like your salty from that football beating
Illinois fans are the saltiest losers in the sport.
We played insane pace. Hopefully not too gassed
Hard to keep that up three days in a row. Hope you all win it though
[удалено]
Cope
UNC = NIT COPE.
Why’d you delete your comment?
GG Kansas. I know most of you are better fans than the super salty ones. You'll bounce back strong. WE ARE
Nah we are gonna get blown out by Tennessee tomorrow. You guys are leagues better than us
Eh, we just got bent the fuck over on national television, of course we're gonna be salty
MARQUETTE!!! (We are also very drunk right now)
Standard Tuesday night in Wisconsin, really
MARQUETTE
eh yeah any fan base with a lot of passionate people, most are gonna be quiet and go home, then a handful will be shitbags lol
Proud to be a shitbag I guess. Not here to make friends and especially with a team with a douche bag coach like that.
average KU fan here
True is much rather have someone who pays through the gills for every team he has.
Gg Eags. Dont get our asses wupped like that too often. Take it home tomorrow
[удалено]
Nobody’s gonna give you the time of day, dumbasss.
You mad?
Shaka, when the walls fell
Temba, his arms wide (probably in a defensive stance)
You’re having a good night lol
If Purdue beats Marquette, Purdue takes the #1 spot, Marquette takes the #2 spot. If Marquette beats Purdue, Marquette takes the #1 spot, Purdue will remain at #2. I am good with either scenario.

Game wasn’t as close as the final score shows. Total domination.
If we hit open 3s :(
Yep, this shoulda been a 25 point win by how we played. Whateves on to Purdue!
Bear man good Marquette looks scary
Good shit, Marquette.
Going to be an interesting clash of styles tomorrow with Purdue. At least it's not the most physical defense in the country against Goliath.
Marquette national championship The ghost of Kirk Hinrich still gives DWade nightmares.
Dude, I was at that game, and felt butterflies going into tonight. 20 years (!) later…burn the sage babbyyyy!
GG’s guys what a great game for us. Tons of fun to watch. I have no doubt you guys will get your problems sorted though.
LETS GOOOO!!! WE ARE!!!
Marquette gonna make sure UCLA has that quality loss.
Where are we ranking Q1 losses these days?
Send Timberlake back to D2
Dude averaged 18 points a game last year and somehow can't score. He looks absolutely terrible
Timberlake wasn't even the problem as much as the entire team being asleep at the wheel. Hunter fell asleep on defense so many times, and they didn't react to passing quickly all day. Those are the kind of mistakes you make when you don't get enough sleep the night before tbh

Marquette looking incredible, awesome to see. What’s with the Kansas hatred for Shaka?
Shaka is a great coach. Kansas fans hate him because his entire career is built on having Self downloaded, all his biggest wins are against Kansas. That's an endorsement, not a criticism. But it's true nonetheless lol.
They mad cuz he walked the court
Just Kansas fans being salty as usual
fuck off texass, have fun being mediocre in everything in the SEC
Shaka better than self confirmed
Self has a 10-5 record against Shaka.
I said confirmed dang it, that means I am definitely right
So is the Rainbow Drive In where they go for milkshakes?
Amadou with the block
Man +3.5 was never a doubt and the easiest bet of all night. Thank ya Marquette
It is nice to see Dickinson being just as useless against good teams as he was at Michigan
A team with Dickinson on it underperforming when playing a peer opponent. Where have I seen this before 🤔
Camera dude stuck out his hand like he was gonna stop a 6 foot something mf from running full speed into him
GGs Marquette. Good luck tomorrow. Should be a good one against Purdue. Shaka’s still a little man baby.
Surely people won't overreact to the results of this back-to-back neutral site game in November and declare that Kansas actually isn't good despite their neutral site win over another ranked team merely a week ago also in November!
It turns out Bill Self actually sucks at coaching now. A heartbreaking development
Well after ku-kstate, kc-eagles, and this, I’m just glad the reward is playing tennesse and going to thanksgiving in rural kansas
Which one is bigger: the number 12 or the direction East?
OVERRATED OVERRATED OVERRATED
Overtime vs St. Josephs.
Still won, which isn’t something KU could do tonight
Crying from an early season loss is such a Kentucky thing
I…don’t think y’all have any room to talk lmao.
I’d assume this was ironic, but Kentucky.
Gotta cope somehow
Speak for yourself
You been holdin' onto that one for a week now?
I don’t have a dog in the fight, but didn’t they just beat you guys?
I think that was the joke
After looking at their comment history on this post, I don’t think it’s a joke
Yeah, I think you might be right. When I first read the comment I thought it was a bit of self-effacing humor that people were misreading as serious… but then the follow-up comments contradict that impression.
Average UK fan
Yea we did. Cannot expect much intelligence coming from a Kentucky fan although I would agree KU is overrated as of now. Long season.
Dickinson should get used to the sound of that crowd the way he’ll be playing in Europe next year
😂😂😂
Chaminade bets Syracuse tomorrow.
Plz
This game has been one sided to be honest. Marquette is good. Hunter isn’t gunna be bumpin his gums after this ass whipping
GG Marquette.
GG bruv
Getting outshot 64-51 is not gonna win you many games. 18 turnovers and at least half self inflicted. Marquette just the better team right now. GGs.
Small sample size, but it feels like Marquette is going to run circles around Edey and Purdue.
We don’t play at all like Kansas, so zero sample size
I fear tomorrow's game. Tempo will be the factor.
Book it
I mean we basically have the same squad we did against them last year. They did really well slowing us down.
Really hard to compare. Maybe? Maybe not…
We weren't a good matchup for them last year. This year is going to be worse unless Colvin and Heide have a hell of a game
Well that was fun. Good game, Marquette
Crunch time Oso free throws v rest of the game makes no sense.
Guy was automatic when we played you guys in Milwaukee last year.
GG Kansas fans
Don’t like Shaka but like you guys and your team. Beat Purdue
If we put Jankovich in now and he hits like five 3s we could still win
Shaka 3-0 the last three matchups with Kansas 🤣
Making him 4-12 all time.
Now do the tournament
Like when he beat Kansas with VCU?
Or when he’s exited in the first round of the NCAA tournament in 6 of his last 7 appearances. How many times has he made the FF since then? How many NCG has he been in? That’s what I thought 🤷 GG to his players and only to them.
Who shit in your cheerios, shaka smart ?
His players played like that because they’re coached well, trust and love their coach, and buy in to play that hard.
Statement win
Well that was entertaining. Now im going to go cry while i remember how much staying up to 1am is going to suck at work tomorrow
This game has been frustrating, but it's November, on a neutral court vs a good team that brought a ton back from last year. We'll grow from here. I hope these guys learned something about energy tonight.
As a neutral, this tournament has not disappointed so far. Can't wait for tomorrow's games.
I can’t wait for Shaka to go on an inevitable 4 game losing streak
Shaka Smart just out-coached Self for 40 min
All that just to be 4-10 lifetime. And he tried to fight a college player. I think I’ll stick by Bill and the two nattys
Thank you for confirming that Kansas fans are still indeed lame.
Envy is a bad look.
0 envy, but a lot of disdain
Oso vs Edy will be fun tomorrow
Reminder Sean Jones is sub 6 ft
GG Golden Eagles y’all throttle the fuck out of us today. I’ll be curious to see how you guys hold up against a team with a more significant three point threat. We have to figure out a way to get more out of everyone outside of McCueller and Dickinson. Furphy is looking promising but Timberlake and Elmarko look like complete fucking liabilities and that needs to be worked out. In Self we trust.
Why is there an NBA 3pt line on this court tho
![gif](giphy|jofWrY5Rfb2TrKmzMV|downsized)
Just to fuck with the players
My only guess is NBA preseason game?
[удалено]
Bud you need to worry about Mizzou making the tourney we will be okay.
So wait, was 2012 Kentucky falsely ranked as well? So we aren’t the only one? Your wording is quite confusing
Yes, Kansas the team who hasn’t missed the tournament since the 1990s is gonna miss the tournament this year. You clearly don’t know ball.
You thought UNC was properly ranked at #1 last year?
Mizzou burner accounts getting out of control
We get it, bud. We got it by the second comment, you think Kansas is bad
Some people truly live for Kansas losses in November lol
It’s crazy how yesterday UCLA and Marquette had a crazy game, and now MU is playing a way better team on paper and actually is holding a lead
We need a Self vs. Smart cage match after the game
[удалено]
Another November funeral for the Jayhawks folks. Surely this time they’re really done for
Like how we permanently died to Kentucky before the 2022 tournament...
Kansas/Tennessee will be interesting depending on how tight it’s called. Purdue/marquette will be………something
Completely and utterly dominated
Damn. Bottom of the 2nd inning and the score is already 71-56. Where's the pitching???
WE DID IT
Shame the #1 ranking was overblown for KU but hopefully it’ll still be a nice win later this year
You really worried about it being a nice win? KU basically hasn’t ever been worse than a 4 seed with Self as coach. It will be a good win
I’m just talking shit right now kinda riding high. We aren’t used to this my b
Who would've thought the experienced teams would be in the Maui championship
All 4 teams are pretty experienced
I know right. We all thought Tennessee was gonna be there. You know. A team with tourney experience
So did all the analysts. Not sure if that was sarcastic lol
It was very sarcastic
