The disappointing season of the Kansas Jayhawks continued on Saturday with a defeat by 78-73 against No. 10 Texas Tech, but Zeke May received a tougher blow from the court.
May had problems in the contest, going 1 by 7 from the floor, including a clip of 0 by 5 of a three -point land.
After the game, May took the X to blame the loss.

“I deserve all the criticisms in the world at 100%. My performance was more than unfortunate today, and it has been for a while. I work my A, every day to be great, but I cannot be perfect all the time. I regret that our fans and my teammates, I will continue to improve,” he published, his account as his disabled.
However, with that message they arrived in hate message screenshots, including one that called it “garbage can n —-“. Another user told him to “commit suicide,” while another wanted death.
The incident was enough for Chief coach Bill Self to issue a long statement in which he reiterated that he was “proud” of his team.

“Today’s game was a very good university basketball game. We played a very good team and beat us,” Self wrote. “We made some people had exceptional individual games, and we had some perhaps not playing with the standard they have established for themselves. But, all in our team, the coaches included, more than anyone, had the opportunity to impact the game.”
Self added: “I’m going to roll with these boys every day and be proud of it. Any criticism about the team should be addressed to me. I am the chief coach.”
His statement ended: “This is the most important moment of the season, and this is the time we must be better, but we must also focus on basketball and not the things that are said outside the basketball that have absolutely zero merit.”

The Jayhawks (19-10, 10-8) are in sixth place in Big 12, so their general offer is certainly in the air for the March madness tournament.
