  @betterfireE I’m not convinced that we have a good scheme for 4-1 as a standard formation. I suppose drive and dish, but are we a better 3 point shooting team than last year? Will Self actually make that transition? IDK

  The crazy thing is Duke is still quite good without them. KU could still lose. Allen and Kennard will literally play the entire game though, so maybe we can wear Duke down a bit.

  Should KU shoot anything but threes?

  P.S.: Self, as he ages, is increasingly attracted to any tactic that makes opposing coaches prepare for more possibilities. The “stretch 4” is quintessential. Now he loves the “ubiquitous 3”–the 3 who might show up anywhere from 1 to 5. It’s not just Josh. He has been experimenting since BRush with the ubiquitous 3, but he hasn’t found guys that could do more than swing 3-4, or 2-3. Swinging 2-3 really doesn’t help, since both are just wing positions. He wants to swing inside and out; that is what really stresses a defensive scheme and complicates preparation. I reckon he likes stressing opposing coaches with multiple offense, because he now has the edge over most in experience AND he knows how many 2 in 3 and 3 in six situations arise.

  @Crimsonorblue22 CF trying to run the offense, but I think that takes him out of his element. He was a straight-up scorer in h.school, almost exactly like Frank Mason was in high school. Frank can still do it at the Div.1 level, while Frankamp, with his slight build and slower speed, simply cannot. Frankamp’s forte may well be taking few well-timed shots, picking his moments. A high-efficiency type. The way that WSU team is built (not unlike KU), they just arent going to run their entire offense thru a 5’11, slow-footed, average-athleticism guard. Neither was KU. I wish CF and his dad would get that. Maybe making Frank Mason play a 1-on-1 exhibition vs CF might have opened CF’s and his dad’s eyes to reality? And there’s about 8-10 guys on WSU’s roster that are bigger, faster, stronger than CF.

  @wrwlumpy good shot lol its so hard to rank our clutch shots outside of Marios because it was the most important. This one, Bmacs for OT vs ISU, Giddens for OT vs GT, Langfords for the win next year vs GT, Wigs tip in to beat TT. Maybe we should do a ranking on them lol.

  Personally my favorites were Paul Splitorf with Fred White (RIP) doin the Big 12. Also if Ron Franklin had been able to keep either his hands or inappropriate comments away from the ladies might he still be there too - who knows ? Split & Fred were my guys, but that’s prefaced by their Kansas City Royals pedigrees. Absolutely top of the line. IMO none more professional or prepared behind the mic. My most fav FB & BB guy now has gotta be K Harlan hands down. Another guy from the metro that still lives there & is always prepared to the max. Now at espn, even Max K & Stephan A get primetime gigs when they sound & act like they have might have 9th grade educations. Somehow when I listen to big loudmouth guys calling sports, I’m thinkin Chris Schenkel, Curt Gowdy, & Kieth Jackson, are finally admitting to each other that Cosell wasn’t really that bad after all…JMO

  Man. Beautiful story on Josh Jackson. Got to really give recognition here to the parenting he got. It is the difference-maker in any young life. I hate the OAD rule even more now. Would love to have Josh for > 1yr, if at all possible…

  @jaybate-1.0 He’ll probably be nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court…and clear the appointment by an overwhelming landslide.
