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.
@rockchalkjayhawk
Council is the 2nd best player on the team if he is able to return. I'd say that's good enough to have a significant influence on what this team could be with him here again. I'm not sure we have enough ball handling, leadership or playmaking ability without him. There's potential for sure with several but there's a lot of things that need to go well for a team without Melvin to be successful.
Perhaps I have a slightly biased opinion on Melvin. He was fantastic imo and an easy player to root for. He seemed to cherish being a Jayhawk and players like that don't come around often anymore. I want guys like that back and he can have a major impact on the team
@wissox83 1952 NCAA championship, 1952 Olympic gold medal, and 3× NBA champion ('54, '63, '64). First player to ever win an NCAA title, NBA title, and Olympic gold medal.
Tiller is the puzzle to me. Looked so good for stretches, and then disappeared for longer stretches. Seemed like he just wanted to drift around the 3 point line rather than mixing it up in the middle.
