“Kansas cannot wait for the day that Hunter Dickinson is gone!”: Fans rip apart 24-year-old center after Jayhawks fall short vs Texas Tech

Hunter Dickinson and the Kansas Jayhawks had their two-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, losing 78-73 to the 10th-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders at Allen Fieldhouse. They had no answer for JT Toppin, who scored 21 points for Texas Tech.

The Jayhawks' defeat dropped them to 19-10, continuing their late-season woes. They have lost six of their last 10 games, with Kansas holding a 10-8 record in the Big 12 Conference. It was just the second time in Texas Tech's history that the Red Raiders recorded a win at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to blast the Jayhawks center's latest performance.

"Kansas basketball can not wait for the day that Hunter Dickinson is gone! Has ruined their program for two years with his lazy, slow style of game. Kansas will be a round 1 exit in the big dance," one fan chimed in.

"If Hunter Dickinson has no haters then I am dead. Worst big to ever play under Self" one fan pointed out.

"Is Hunter Dickinson the softest AND most overrated player in cbb?" another fan asked.

Here are some other reactions.

"Hunter Dickinson is the most overrated player in the history of college basketball," one fan wrote.

"Hunter Dickinson is the reason Kansas sucks.. argue with a wall," one fan posted.

"Haven’t watched Kansas in a while now. Yep, still the same old weak Kansas team. Can’t stand this team….by far the worst team since Bill Self arrived," one fan shared.
