I think Saturday night's game showed a lot of what Self is about at KU.


“Nobody got loud except to tell ‘Ju’ to just shut up,” Robinson cracked, adding Wright’s main message was “to do what coach Self tells us to do. It wasn’t a pleasant vibe. Everyone was pretty upset and angry about how the season was going.”
The likeable Wright took to heart Self’s edict to play hard from the start against the Gators, who had won six games this season by an average of 40.5 points a game. He admitted he had a lot to say at the players’ meeting.

As far as Self’s meeting with the players, which led to the players deciding to gather, Robinson said: “He laid it on the line and said we had to come out with more intensity and focus if we wanted to come out with a win.”

“They (players) haven’t been real happy with me which would be an understatement,” he said, “and I’ve not been happy with them the last couple weeks. The Ball State game was very disappointing to me because we didn’t play like we can — with energy and passion. We challenged them and knew they’d come out with energy and effort against Florida. Tonight there were no thoughts on anything other than Kansas.”

“So much is maturity. Remember, last year we were up and down, too, until we got to a certain point (after struggling at the Maui Invitational and other early games).”


We'll see I guess....

It doesnt matter until March.I bet they give up another crap loss before the tourney.
