Someone from MU said Bill Self has a drinking problem. Can anyone confirm this?

Sweating the game because we have looked like dog shit and lost 3 games in a row. To teams like TCU no less.

I didn't expect this, but wasn't all that worried, either. Minus the TCU loss, it didn't seem like losing the other 2 were all that horrible (granted, I barely watched either game). They played better against OU, and they were coming home to a rival that doesn't play well in AFH (or AFHW). It's as good of a game as any to break the losing streak... and needless to say, it had been almost a decade since they last lost 3 in a row, much less 4.

Tharpe is just as good of an outside shooter as EJ.

These are the team's two "point guards" since B12 play began:
EJ: 30 FG%, 39 assists, 42 turnovers Tharpe: 26%, 19 assists, 15 turnovers Seeing that, there shouldn't be any wonder why Tharpe hasn't started for this team yet. The guy's been just as bad as EJ if not worse. Sure, if Tharpe can do what he's doing tonight consistently, I'd want him to get 35 minutes every night. He actually creates offense when he's going well (which basically nobody on this team does other than McLemore occasionally). But why would anybody think that he can based on his play this season? Nobody who's being honest with themselves would. I guess it's worth it for Self just to try something else as this team's offense had really stagnated the last few weeks (although it can't be forgotten that Tharpe played a role in that as well). |

I think a lot of Tharpe problems stemmed from the way he was played. Just give him the reins and say "do what you do" and if you **** up do it at full speed. He's a lot like russel Robinson in that he's not a shooter and was somewhat used as one this year.
And it's god damn amazing what happens when you play intensely under control and not try and go so fast |

My main issue with Tharpe has been that he jacks up stupid ass shots from time to time - like Self said at the end of the half, stop putting the team in a bad position by jacking up shots and drive the damn ball. |

Yeah exactly. I mean if you get an open shot within the offense, shoot the ****er. But surprise surprise good things happen when you get the ball in the paint
