  @BeddieKU23 You beat me to it. Barring a total collapse, ASU will be in the Tournament with a high seed and probably battle Arizona for the PAC 12 title.

  Can I vent about the Nebraska game too lol. I tell you I’m worried, we don’t even look decent half the time to this point. Watching some of the other B12 games today I’m worried we will struggle to be .500. Even KSUCK looks like they would stomp the daylights outta us to this point. Newman shouldn’t play more than a handful of minutes a game, he’s as lost as a guy can be. Both him and Garrett couldn’t hit the ground with their hat in 3 trys.

  BShark said: Not sure how it can change. This team struggles to get by their man when facing competition that is actually athletic. Sadly enough your probably right. somehow we have just got to find SOMEONE that is more willing to drive the ball instead of jacking up 20-25 footers. - Welp about time to head over to Slack to inneract with the guys - -let’s do this man - time to suck it up & get after it. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  I seem to recall that Micah’s father wanted him to stay at KU and was upset when he chose to leave because of the girlfriend; I would nominate the girlfriend rather than the father but if we are talking about fathers, Carl Henry is a shoo in.

  @Crimsonorblue22 He’s a got a solid point, hopefully that means they can learn to defend better. DTG and Svi are both pretty much in their 3rd year of starting but Doke is hardly even a sophomore bye playing just a few games a year ago. Malik is just a redshirt sophomore, Lightfoot is seeing his first meaningful minutes this year and Vick is in a much bigger role in his first season of being a starter. I’m just worried we aren’t as athletic as we normally are which means we have to be very smart and in the right position defensively.

  @Ralster Agreed on both. I have been high on Lightfoot since the beginning but now he is playing a position he is not suited or has the build for. I have said before that Garret might end up being the steal of the class; obviously very high on him.

  @kjayhawks As a fan, the Sprint Center experience with great seats along with the Power and Light District is really nice. As a player, an arena that looks so different that AFH can be a negative and I read the players do not like playing there. The advantage of playing at AFH becomes a disadvantage when playing in the newer, larger arenas.

  He would have been even MORE of a freak if he had stayed in college four years. I mean, who does that ?

  @HighEliteMajor I think you are seeing Garrett as an individual piece and not a piece of the team. Individually, he has been solid. But being the best defender when the other 4 are porous really has no value. So essentially, this team has to outscore the other team. Garrett providing no offense hurts this team more than his good defense helps it.

  @dylans The delays after self-reporting are sometimes due, it seems to me, to lack of transparency from the families and others receiving or getting payoffs. OTH, maybe KU has a major cloud obscuring everything questionable that occurs. It took how long for the JJ facts to come out? The dorm crime is still unresolved. The 'Stache has mysteriously disappeared. Carlton’s pipe took awhile. We didn’t even know about Vick:s freshman year problem until last year. It seemed to take forever and a private lawyer for the facts to come out about about Cliff and, IIRC, Diallo. Selby’s family friend, Ben’s trip–lots of investigations, sometimes a several game sanction, but not a lot of clarifying reports.

  Kcmatt7 said: Well I hope he can help. I’m worried that he will be so far behind that he might not be any better than Mitch. But if he is a quick learner, and the upperclassmen utilize that gym in the dorm to run through the playbook with him whenever they can, there is definitely some upside. I agree that he could be no better than Lightfoot. But he will help enormously simply because he is another body that is actually a basketball player. KU needs at least a three man rotation inside to let KU’s bigs play aggressively for 40 minutes in a 4-1 set, go with two bigs for short stretches as MUs require, and help us bridge through inevitable injuries and flu.

  @HawkChamp True story, but an ivy leaguer (I think?) Whitman and Coleby don’t exactly make me salivate over how great we’d be if they were playing.
