Regarding the absence of traps, that was clearly an energy saving device for the WVU game on Monday.
Self thought he could win this thing with long benching and no trapping. In other words, he thought he could win the game with KU and the refs beating Baylor at the FT line. Had things not gone according to plan the last ten minutes, I suspect we would have seen the trapping. As it was, Self’s strategy was to play them even at everything but FTs and FG% defense and beat them those two places and win the game with a minimum expenditure of energy.
His team is going to have to play all 90 feet for quite a bit of the time against Huggie. Got to keep the tank as full as possible.
If KU had not had to face WVU, I suspect KU could have beaten Baylor by 20 with a total effort.
