Kansas Coach Will miss Entire Big 12 Tourny

[Tanko]

Bill Self will not coach today's game vs W. Virg.
In hospital.

 

[Tanko]

Will the team come together or will they struggle a little?
Huggins will have his team ready. They lost to KU by 2 at home 2 weeks ago.

Venditto says it’s a scam & to lay the points.

Wow.....
I'm already on W. Virg +4.5. Was on them before the news broke.

Good luck Tanko.

Good luck Tanko.

Damn... Guess, I'm going to need it now.

What happened?

Same question. I hope it's not serious though.

They say he's not in serious condition but they didn't give specifics on the early Big 12 game I was watching.

 

[bkbrawler]

Word going around, he felt some discomfort in his chest.

These guys need to retire
The Greed of Money keeps them in the game

I'm on KU ML. I think this one comes down to the wire so I didn't lay the points but I took KU because I think they win what is essentially a de facto home game.

GL Jrgum... Hope you hit the ML but only win by 4 or less (I'm on W Virg +4.5)

So we have a KU vs ISU semifinal matchup in the Big12 tomorrow.

Don't think KU has home court advantage just because the game is in Kansas City. ISU travels better than any other school in B12. They call Kansas City arena, Hilton South for a reason.

So the update is Bill Self had a "procedure" (no details) at the hospital today and will miss the entire Big 12 tourny.

That could be a big deal but I think KU will be fine. I might not touch them again until he's back though we'll see because I think coaches matter in the postseason although KU was just fine today.

 

[Pimike]

Kansas win big

 

[Jrgum3]

Kansas win big

That line is pretty sharp at -4.5. I lean KU but it might not make my card. Either way I think it'll be a pretty good game.

Iowa State has changed in the last week:

1. They cut one of their best scorers (Calib Grill).
2. They now play everyone (all 11 players that are left) at least a few minutes each game. Started this vs Baylor last Saturday. They said it helped build "TEAM" approach.
3. Of all teams in the Big 12, KU struggles the most with ISU over the last several years.
4. The "Win one for Coach" attitude at KU might be fading a little in their 2nd game since he's been gone. If KU advances to play Texas in final, I'll likely be fading the Jayhawks.

I think this will be a close game. I like the 4.5 but will sit tight until closer to gametime.

Thanks for the info Tank.
