I cant recall a time he has......
I can't ever remember him doing it. It's not really his personality, and I swear I've heard him say in interviews he'd rather let his defense make the stand. [Reply]

This is exactly right. I remember this came up a couple years ago against OU(I think) and it was the same discussion. Several posters over on Phog saying should have fouled. They should know Self doesn't do that. He trusts his players. [Reply]
We should cruise through the next 3 games. Wouldn’t shock me is Baylor slipped up somewhere.
Then it’s at Tech in the last conference game. Win that one, and we likely finish 17-1. Best record since the 18 game conference schedule started. [Reply]
Amazing win Jayhawks! Doke sure has came a long way. He was dominating them all day. Baylor sure was guarding us hard, everytime we dribbled we got fouled and it wasn't called, which is to be expected in Waco.
With all of that good stuff, Agbaji was horrible. He's been quite bad for a while now. I think Braun needs to get a little bit of his minutes. He just struggles to dribble, pass, or make good decisions. Guard him hard and he will make a mistake. [Reply]

Moss' boneheaded 1 on 3 take was pretty terrible too. And Braun let that dude get behind him on the dunk. I don't know that Agbaji is materially worse than either of the guys getting his minutes. [Reply]

Agbaji is the better defender out of the 3, but he's really been struggling. Unless it's a straight away drive or a catch and shoot three, he doesn't add much value offensively. I think I drastically overestimated his upside last year. [Reply]
Agbaji is better defensively than Moss and Braun. He'll keep getting minutes because of that. He's a lot further away offensively than expected, though. [Reply]

Yeah. He was unbelievably bad. Not sure what his offensive guy did, but offensively Agbaji was atrocious [Reply]
