The #6 Kansas Jayhawks entered Tuesday night's contest against the TCU Horned Frogs percentage points ahead of Baylor for the Big 12 regular season title. They are looking to clinch at least a share of the Big 12 conference title for the 16th time over the last 17 seasons. Unfortunately for coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks, it was not meant to be, losing at TCU, 74-64. After the loss, Kansas fans expressed their frustration with Bill Self and some of his decision-making.
It's hard to believe HOFer Bill Self failed to have his team ready to beat TCU with the outright conference title on the line.
But that is exactly what happened.

It was the second straight loss as Kansas lost to #3 Baylor over the weekend. Starting point guard Dujuan Harris Jr. was held scoreless for the second consecutive game, despite playing 26 minutes. It's the first time in Bill Self's tenure that his starting point guard did not score any points in back to back games.
Clearly, Jayhawks fans are none too pleased with Harris Jr.'s performance, nor Self's decision to keep playing him.

One fan jokingly commented that Self must be dating Dujuan Harris Jr.'s mom.

You need a new point guard. And you need to play your stretch. And you should’ve had a game-plan for said stretch.
And you need to think about a zone or some shit, because your defense sucks.

While another called it plain. Kansas needs a new point guard. He also pokes holes at the Jayhawks lack of defense.
Despite the criticism, Kansas can still win the Big 12 outright. They play TCU in a rematch Thursday night before finishing the regular season at home vs. #21 Texas. The Jayhawks are still currently slated to earn a top-3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and can improve upon that with a regular season or Big 12 Tournament victory.
But in order for that to happen, Kansas likely will need a little more offense out of their point guard.
