The tournament was rigged for Kentucky. They got to play all home games but one. They had to play one away game at Louisville and lost handily.
The Hawks got to play one home game and it wasn't on campus. I'm glad Davis-Steel won at Kentucky. It was great to see the crowd file out as losers.
I see KU is in the mix for former Michigan St. big man Jaxon Kohler. Averaged 12.5 ppg and 8.9 rpg last season so what are the chances of him actually ending up in Lawrence?
@kjayhawks2.0 said in KU @ Arizona St 8pm CT:
we had 21 offensive rebounds and 4 second chance points. Wow!
Yep. This defined the game and it's stunning.
If you look at this team's record with these remarkably anomalistic, highly improbable and statistically aberrational numbers, you might be tempted to throw a couple of these losses out.
They are pretty good if you take away the weirdness. Or is it weirdness? What is the norm?
It's just hard to know whether this team can still gel and harden and normalize into its full potential at this point.
@approxinfinity The 2011 team had an insanely deep big man rotation. The Morris twins started, T-Rob came off the bench, Jeff Withey was a depth piece, and Mario Little chipped in minutes as a stretch-4.
I've only watched the first half of Duke so far... I wish Self would train our guys to not leave their man open on the perimeter and stop sinking in trying to defend the drive so much. We've been leaving guys wide open and most of these guys can probably hit wide open treys blindfolded. Otherwise... I give a mixed report card on our D so far, with some players GOOD and other players BAD. We will never shut other teams down much if our bad guys keep leaking at this level because everyone will exploit them. Also rate our rebounding as UNDERPERFORMING. We have the people that should never lose the team rebounding battle.
