  @BeddieKU23 said in Iowa St game: Dave had a little extra zing on a few of those like he was leading the receiver to a tight spot on 3rd down for a first down catch. He also made a couple of GreAT passes with that added zing as well.

  @jayballer67 we haven’t been getting the Kansas whistle this year. That’s for sure. You’d think we were the ones bring for a new conference.

  @DCHawker 80th in 2pt% in the country as a team. Torvik shows 66% as a team on close 2’s. Hoop explorer shows 63% on layup/dunks. Mitch and CB are the only individuals shooting 60% or higher on their 2’s. Jalen (59%), Och (56%), Coleman-Lands (56%), KJ (55%). Dave, Remy, Harris all under 50% on 2’s overall. Och has the highest % of shots made at the rim (75%). No surprise there. Dave (56%) & Remy (53%) are the worst at the rim. Dave & Mitch combine to get 11.7% of their shots blocked at the rim. That’s just crazy bad.

  @kuballin10 said in Well are we what Coach Self wanted?: Self needs to create that pipeline with sunrise which he’s working hard at even with the different affiliations (Nike vs Adidas) Agree. we have a pretty good in seems now but man that School has really become a power. - We need to continue that line for sure

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Joe with coaches confidence can do three major things better than Harris. stop dribble penetration get into the paint (we saw the lobs to McCormack in Orlando the second he came in) shoot it better than Harris He isn’t Frank but he can do everything Harris is doing at a better level if given the confidence. Clemence is bad defensively but better offensively. We are bad with Mitch on d so at least have some O. Traylor - great points I thought he played more you’re right on here I double checked Recruits - if they don’t get the leash they won’t develop and 10-12 games in self will say should have played them more. It’s a cycle. He wins and manages but the blowout losses are exposing some cracks. Zuby - saw highlights - his jumper looks identical to trob. 6-8 215…trob 6-8 222. Both plenty athletic can run rim to rim. Trob had some offensive skill the game was too fast. I remember a move at missery on the block he did and traveled but it was nice and you could tell he’s close to getting it. Pair that with his 12-15 foot jumper and he was money. I see similarities in body style and play just need a little time.

  @Crimsonorblue22 No I don’t think what he does well would have been valued here. Maybe he gets more PT with the coaching change now. He was their only big that did much of anything down low against that 2some of Banchero & Williams. One play that stuck out was he drove baseline on Williams the monster shot blocker and pinned him on the backboard while reversing to get an athletic layup. Also got fouled (actually absolutely clobbered) on a running start play where he tried to take the rim off only to get taken out in mid air and Williams blocked it from behind. No foul on the play, way too much contact for play on imo. That game was getting awful chippy

  Something that may be 100% true is that everyone involved in this process is frustrated at the lack of a resolution. This has clearly gone past its due date and the milk is chunky and sour now.

  I suppose it’s a challenge schedule wise. And then teams go on streaks. Baylor/Bama looked like a good one until Bama took their annual swoon.

  @Jethro said in ok , close enough. Some fu over /unders Saturday: @jayballer67 I remember drifting down to the seats near the floor in a game against Tucky many years ago during the Ted years. Back then there were always lots of empty seats. ya I’m right there with ya. That’s what I was saying , you could almost pick your seat. - -take your original in the beginning and then little bit , wherever you wanted it seemed. - It was to bad to cause Coach Owens could recruit well - - just Couldn’t Coach with a dam - had some good talent. - -Glad those days are behind us. - -Saw a stat this morning - Coach Self at the Phog - 297-18 - -Winning % of 94.3 - -HUGE DIFFERENCE

  OK, so we know who is next on Saturday

  We are the college version of the KC Chiefs. We don’t know if our defense will show up, and usually it doesn’t matter because we just need the last 13 seconds to go our way! BTW: I’m not bragging about this. I’ve learned… being this kind of team eventually catches up to you. Hope I’m wrong about us and the Chiefs! GO Chiefs! Never thought I would give Cal a compliment… but he has found a way to utilize Oscar much better than Huggy Bear did. I was always shocked why Oscar wasn’t performing day in and day out like he does now when he was at WVU. I wonder what the WVU blog says about Oscar now! Maybe he just needed to play for an elite program and feel elite. I expect this game will be won through two key factors: who controls pace and possessions. Oscar is going to get his rebounds… no stopping that, but can we still win the glass as a team effort? The key for us is people like CB go in there and get his 5 or 6 boards. Same for others. Chai needs to grab 5 or 6. And our secret weapon for this game needs to be Jalen… especially on the glass! He can easily be the guy that flips the stat sheet to a Kansas victory on the glass! To be honest… the matchup I want to see in the paint is Oscar vs KJ! This is a game our team needs to value possessions. It is downright pathetic when we have high TOs on our home court, especially if we play a lot of minutes with two PGs. I don’t usually get on Dajuan’s ass… but he needs to be sharp in this game and limit his TOs… same for others. And when we make steals… we need runouts! Push tempo!

  A requiem for the late, great Marcus Garrett… Bryson goes for 33. Pack goes for 35. Two very different players… different size… different skill set. BOTH would have been limited if Marcus was still on this team!

  You know what and there will be guys that say I’m crazy for saying this but that’s ok. You know I am beginning to wonder now since we have played them twice and am done with them unless it’s in the Big 12 tourney. I’m really beginning to wonder if possibly Texas Tech isn’t actually BETTER then Baylor ? - -I just feel Tech’s defense is better then Baylor , I’m not as worried - - I’m worried but not as much about playing Baylor now. - -Tech’s defense is insane , you have to really work for a shot little lone a good shot , their aggressive play really well. In a way we was lucky Shannon & Mcolloughs was off BUT we had a lot to do with that. - -I dunno maybe I am crazy but Tech is dangerous , well Coached crazy defense. Guess that’s why we play them out , just my opinion I am just feeling not so worried about Balor. - -Balor is good - -dam Good and yet I’m just not as worried cause I feel Tech is right there with them and I think they are better defensively that’s all

  @DCHawker Sure it doesn’t look good. We at least have a Top 3 offense to compensate

  @jayballer67 said in What's happening to some of these teams: Just curious as to what’s going on. Some of the traditional good teams in College Basketball are just - -ehhhh. - -3 teams in particular here tonight . - - Virginia , Louisville & North Carolina off the top of my head. These teams traditionally - - - - -good even pretty good Yet here we are Louisville 11-8- – Virginia 11-8 both 5-4 in their conference - - - North Carolina not in top 25 - -just not Normal. These clubs usually in the conversation for the tourney and North Carolina & Virginia has made plenty of noise in the tourney. Last year Carolina was not good This year Not that good - just not use to seeing this kind of stuff. I mean NC in the past has been in the top 25 and a lot towards the top 10 - -no so much lately. Virginia - usually pretty decent not that long ago serious threats in the NCAA’S - -these are just three teams that normally do good but recently just ehh. - - there are others. Any idea what’s going on ? why this is happening ? - -I mean even in our down years where we are not as good were STILL in the top 25- -can’t remember the last time we was down any lower the like possibly 17th maybe if that low Really tough to replace a legend like Roy. Makes what self has done at Kansas even more impressive. And hopefully gives a little pause to those who think replacing self will be a given assuming we are KU and good coaches just want to come here.
