  @HighEliteMajor Vick could got lava hot again like at the beginning of the season, drop 36 points and carry us for a couple games. Totally could happen. But not likely to happen.

  It’s easy to forget what everything is. The little stuff that you’d think a college student would know. For me it’s spelling and handwriting before we can even get to the actual work. For Bill it’s fundamentals he also shouldn’t have to be teaching at this point. Bill’s been running a 400 level class. Now he has to dumb it down to a 100-200 level class, but he’s stuck in a master class level in his head. I’m afraid this team is a year and a piece or two away from being really good with the current roster and learning curve.

  Self needs to cut it to 7 rotation players. Dotson, Garrett, Ochai, Vick and Dedric start and only Grimes, David play off the bench. We all love Mitch and rightfully so but he just cant cut it, him and KJ likely aren’t D1 level of players. Moore just isn’t capable of coming in cold and doing much, sad truths IMO. The post Defense isn’t getting any better unless Big David learns right now. Work like crazy on defense, rebounding and perimeter shots til March.

  @kjayhawks Seemed like half our fouls were touch fouls but they had to draw blood to get called.

  Look how impossible it is to do what Wilt did: Harden continued one of the best scoring runs ever with 35 points against the Raptors, extending his streak of 30-plus-point performances to 22 games. It’s the fourth-longest streak of 30-point games in NBA history, surpassed only by Wilt Chamberlain, who has three streaks longer than Harden’s, including a record 65.

  I can think of three very obvious things Marcus can do to improve his shooting stats this year without changing his form… First… he needs confidence! That plays a huge role in bringing up numbers. It only takes the slightest hesitation to kill a shot. Marcus has to realize that just deciding he feels confident will begin improving his shot. If he needs any help with this he should chat with KJ. Man… he’s never afraid to take a shot from anywhere! Second… he should rethink his focus. Is his vision okay? Maybe worth an eye test. He needs to think more about where he is focusing… back of the rim? An overall vision of the rim? Does he envision a pathway for the ball? Third… he has to learn to relax on his shot. His arms should feel like spaghetti. Soft stroke. Follow through…

  @approxinfinity ha- actually I thought that THAT was what self was screaming about - either he thought that there were five fouls on the Iowa State guy, or that KU should target that guy to draw his 5th … no heart attacks please Bill - it’s only a game

  I could see us going 2-2, I dont think we go 1-3, we have played like it alot lately but I have more faith in our coaches/players than that.

  @Kcmatt7 Yep - good point, it is a quite old thread which has been added to. I guess I’m a bit too thin-skinned when it comes to Garrett. I love the guy despite his shortcomings. Now I gotta try to warm up to Grimes and not be biased So far just disappointed in him.

  @BShark Not possible. They never touched him. It’s been an issue for weeks really. Teams are guarding Dedric with a ton of physicality and he’s not getting half the calls he should.

  I think people have been a little to hard on the kid, myself included at times.
