Huge for Shaka who is 1-4 against Dixon.
There's no reason he can't go 0-5 against his successor.
I have faith in Shaka.

Can't believe people are trying to ignore what an NIT title means and stands for. Regardless of what the NIT champs did or didn't do the following season, winning the NIT means at the very least that you didn't make the actual tournament.
Hang the banner.
"2019--Didn't Make the Actual Tournament--Hook em' Horns"
Yeah, that has a certain indefinable charm. Can we get hats, t-shirts and bumper stickers, too?

Watching Tech is really impressive. The help defense is the best in college basketball. On offense, they actually don't have a lot of shooting or, other than Culver, even guys who can get their own shot. But they run the Knight motion offense, are really active screening and cutting off the ball, and create opportunities that way. Plus, their guys know their role and play to their strengths. They don't waste a lot of possessions doing stupid stuff like bigs taking 3s, or guards forcing a quick shot without making the defense move.
Beard is legit. This isn't flash in the pan stuff. And when you look at his results, he's been impressive everywhere he's been.
Yeah, Tech does it right. They have a real identity and maximize it. Makes me sick watching them and thinking about Texas.

We should just lock this thread until 2020
We're like the Ancient Mariner now, adrift in seas of hopelessly ugly basketball with this fucking Shaka hung around our neck.

Love how FU Chip Brown tweets about the team and Shaka when they're in danger of losing but nothing after they win. He's so in the fire Shaka camp. Much to Chip's, and many in this threads chagrin, he may have saved his job by getting the last 2 wins.
I'm all for the players getting some more wins in their college career, but the NIT is by definition meaningless. If a school has any aspirations to be a serious basketball program, being in the NIT as opposed to the NCAA tournament means your season is a failure.

I mean it was half of a joke. It doesn't seem like UT will be any better next year - if anything probably worse. If Shaka stays put there's the chance the close losses could turn into ugly losses.
That will be our metric of success next year--the ratio of close losses to ugly losses.
Hot damn! I'm psyched.

Will Baker better be Larry fucking Bird, because we lose our three best players from this incredibly average team. I feel like bubble team is our ceiling next year.
Kind of like this year. Only next year, it won't be a surprise.
-
So basically, we're where we expected to be. Shaka gets to mismanage the program at every level for at least another year. And when he finally leaves, he will have made out like a bandit for mismanaging the program at every level.
Wonder what attendance will look like next year?

Here's a Bill Parcells quote for yah Shaka.....
"You are what your record says you are."
Now go find another job please...…
"You are what your ecosystem says you are."
Ours says we suck. And if it could get some gators across the highway, it would kill us all.

I would love to see you get laughed out of a room with Chris Del Conte and Fenves after you earnestly suggest this course of action.
It's called a joke. Look it up.

This is the hope, that SS sees it’s actually in his best interest to move on now.
Or maybe he's just fat, dumb and happy rolling in our money.

So basically you are saying we are stuck with Shaka, knowing he isn't the answer, for at least two more years? CDC proving he knows how to build a winner, well once the buyout is 'reasonable'. Seems like a waste of $6M to pay a guy to coach two more years and pay him another $7M to go away, especially when you have already decided he isn't the answer...
Does Shaka's contract spell out exactly what we can't make him do to get the money? If not, can we make him coach/towel boy/toilet cleaner/churro hawker?
Move his office to the worst place imaginable. Take away his parking spot. Have people follow him around campus mocking him. Do whatever we can to make him as miserable as he's made us.

Yeah, we're in the tournament no one cares about.

This is pathetic. How can we not recruit players that can’t shoot? I think the Shaka experience has shelf life of 1 year. If not for the buyout, he’d be gone. They better show up in the NIT.
Does the NIT even matter? It's a loser tournament, has been ever since the NCAA expanded above 32 teams.
Even if we win the stupid thing, I still say FIRE SHAKA!

Is Shakexit happening or no?
Well, Shakshit already happened, so Shakexit seems inevitable. Just a question of this year or next.
Still hoping for this year, cuz I can't stand to watch another season as graceless and squalid as this one.
-
Really crappy game tonight.
It was a good synopsis of our offense for most of the season, though. Maybe the Shakster planned it that way as a tribute.
-
Can you imagine the lack of enthusiasm of this team and the fans next year if Shaka is still on the bench?

If only we beat Radford, we would be 17-15 and a sure thing for the tournament.
But we lost to Radford.
Radford
Radford earned it.
We suck.

Holy shit this thread is a train wreck. When did people forget you shouldn’t argue with anyone defending Lubbock fucking Texas.
I'll say this for Lubbock--they really have made it just about all that it can be. I wouldn't want to live there, but you have to respect that.

Yeah because this is the worst KU team in what, 15 years?
They are almost as hilariously inconsistent as Texas.
There's nothing hilarious about our inconsistency. It's trite and dull, yet still intensely nauseating, which I suppose is a kind of accomplishment.
Thanks, Shaka.

Shaka was right to change styles. He wasn’t going to get the talent he needed to compete with the big boys in the Big 12 playing havoc. He’d have been a poor man’s West Virginia. It didn’t work, but that doesn’t make the strategy wrong. But rest easy, because he gone.
SInce he doesn't seem any good at other styles, maybe not so much.
We hired Havoc and got Tedium.

Charlie and Shaka.
Fucking Patterson.

Looks like our only real challenge for the division this year is Philly.

I want us to win simply for the players who've given their college career to Texas to go out that way.
But hanging a banner? The "We Couldn't Get into the Real Tournament" banner? That's not something that will ever be one of my notable fan memories. Simply winning your first game in the NCAA tournament beats that hands down.
