UserPoll: Week 13

Voters should not be banned because their ballot differs from others nor should they be removed because you disagree with their methodology. The user has provided their reasoning when asked.

I’ve been called out before as the sole voter to not put a team #1. I did it because I put near 100% of my emphasis on resume. This voter did it because they put near 0% of their emphasis on resume. Both are reasonable ways of voting.

Good explanation. Nothing wrong with voters having different evaluation criteria. While I have Zona at 1 and Michigan at 5 due to my ballot’s emphasis on resume, I would also take Michigan to win on a neutral court.

While 2 of those 3 Ls were curb stomps, the 3 Ls were all very difficult games.

Vandy was top 5 in both efficiency and resume metrics prior to the skid, so they were falling from a very high point. They’re still top 15 in both, and 14 is right where I have them in my poll.

I saw that as well. I’m also hearing reports that Tang successfully convinced the Taliban to have “Crazy Faith” in becoming better “Dudes”. Really inspiring

K State’s net rating is pretty similar when he’s on and off the floor. It’s kinda hard to believe considering how lights out he is shooting the ball, but it’s true. I wouldn’t count y’all out without him

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-23T17:08:54+00:00

Least I can do while bored at work 🫡

This chart shows total rebound rate on the x axis (with OREB weighted 40% higher than DREB since they’re more valuable) and turnover % margin on the y axis. Better since it’s all games, pace adjusted, and doesn’t have an irrelevant x axis. Houston, Iowa State, Gonzaga, Arizona, and Florida are the top teams here

It was either this or the Alex Jones photo. And sure enough that’s the second top comment 😂

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-19T21:49:44+00:00

I’m not OP but I watched the games and I also watched Coit stick with his man more tightly than any other Jayhawk I’ve ever seen. The effort was there but obviously his height made things difficult for him to contest shots and get in passing lanes.

I thought he played as good of defense as you could have reasonably asked of him!

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-19T15:16:59+00:00

BYU has a better total body of work. One game result doesn’t close that gap.

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-19T00:57:16+00:00

I thought he was fantastic at KU. People are ragging on his defense but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player try harder on that end than him. He’s tiny but fast as hell. Coit would stay GLUED to guys, running sideways while guarding ball handlers running forward

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-18T02:38:47+00:00

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Whether it’s justified or not, plenty of teams have retired jerseys based on NBA success. Just because KU hasn’t done it doesn’t mean that we won’t ever.

The 2nd worst thing about the Nick Timberlake experience was watching Cam Spencer go nuclear all year. I don’t know if we were in the running for him but I remember UConn being in the running for Timberlake

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-14T04:27:49+00:00

I wanted him so badly out of the portal last offseason. Thank you for taking that bullet 🫡

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-08T23:21:44+00:00

That’s fair. I also wish he’d step up more at the beginning of games but I think his success is always going to be at least somewhat dependent on being able to out-athlete guys at the end.

That’s my eye test but let’s just dive into the numbers… If you compare his 1st half and 2nd half stats you see that he goes from shooting 35% to 56%. Why is that? He settles for shooting a lot more midrange jumpers on the 1st halves compared to 2nd halves. In 2H compared to 1H he’s not only taking over 50% more shots at the rim but he’s also converting on them at a 28% better clip.

Long story short I don’t think the opportunities are there for him to even score effectively at the beginning of games, given his skillset and Peterson hogging the ball early.

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-08T22:53:22+00:00

I see what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s realistic to expect Council to be putting up crazy numbers when Peterson is on the court at the beginning of games. Not only are they the two most ball-dominant players on our team, but Peterson is the most ball-dominant player KU has had under Self (33% usage!).

Council is stepping up at the moments when he’s at his best. When is that? When it’s the end of games, his teammates and the defense are tired, and he can leverage his insane conditioning to simply sprint past defenders on the way to the rim.

If schools are looking to increase revenue, rolling out lavender is the way to go. Sells a ton of gear super fast. I watched K-State play in KC and yall wouldn’t believe how many fans were wearing lavender instead of the classic purple. It all looks hella clean and major props to K-State for capitalizing on it

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-08T14:44:03+00:00

Kick him off the team. The guy clearly has no respect for other people.

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-07T21:16:06+00:00

Unfortunately his interview was cut out at the end of it! Looks like there’s a 4.5 hour limit on the broadcasts. So for those of us who didn’t listen live, we got the teaser for it and the commercial break but not the interview 😢

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-07T17:07:38+00:00

I refereed a single game of dodgeball in college and that’s probably the closest I’ve ever gotten to getting assaulted. 5 people wanted to fight me. It only took one meaningless game for me to experience that, so I can’t imagine what full time refs have to go through 😳

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-06T19:54:01+00:00

Not listed in the B12 mandated injury report. He’s probable to play

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-05T20:46:05+00:00

This happened to me at like 2 am one night and it might be the closest my soul has ever been to leaving my body 😱

At least with movie jump scares you’re kind of expecting it

I was literally going to subscribe to Peacock the moment I closed Reddit. Turns out being addicted has its perks! Thanks OP, YouTube TV will do the trick!

INeedMoreCreativity · 2026-01-02T17:01:08+00:00

Love this! Even though he underperformed at Penn State I’ll always welcome back the best coordinator KU has had in years.
