What is Self Doing?

[Doc]

Other than winning the B12 again :smile: He's the best coach in the B12, and one of the best in the nation, but why doesn't he play Oubre more on the road? He's played 108 minutes in KU's last four home games, but 61 in the last four road games.

He's gotta let these freshman grow up or they're going to play like freshmen come tournament time. I guess the streak really means a lot to him.

So what was the question?

So what was the question?

Why does he continually sit Oubre on the road?

This is kind of a gambling question for me.

 

[Swanson10]

Oh, right! I don't give two craps.

Next guy....?

I should have posted this when twocoach was active. Was just looking at some numbers and thought it was really curious. Maybe KU's early exits aren't so surprising after all.

It's a good question and I think you make a good point about being tourney ready. Oubre looks good, my vote for frosh of the year if he keeps it up for the rest of the season. This is a very inexperienced tourney team for Kansas. Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor have made it the farthest of everyone on the team (Sweet 16). Gonna need all the in season experience they can get.

Self Doing sounds like something done behind a closed bedroom door.

There's a service for that now

I don't know, why don't you ask him yourSelf?

 

[ISU4ME]

Maybe Self is too busy making sure his coaches are not smoking pot?

 

[intrepid27]

Maybe he is trying to delay Oubre's inevitable early departure to the NBA.

I figured Doc, of all people, would know what Self Doing was.

Oubre is shooting like 20% and 4 ppg on the road.

Self is hard on his players and expects a lot out of them. If they don't play well there is someone behind them that can and he will sit the players that underperform on the bench.

Brannen Greene is hitting threes at a rate never before seen at Kansas. He's made 17 of his last 24 three pointers. That's where Oubre's minutes have gone.
