Analytics loved the KU win over Iowa St. Moved up from #23 to #17 on Kenpom. Offense jumped from the 50's to #34 so that offensive performance was well above expected. Defense has dropped nearly 10 spots this month

@patoh3 said in KState Game: I hope they can bear him. He was Scott Drew's version of Kurtis Townsend until he took the KSU job.

@HoraceZontal Sorry you had to have i too no fun that's for sure. glad it helped you though , hoping it will help me also

@BeddieKU23 Self has a lot of ridiculous records but that doesn’t pertain to much with this group. I’d like to see those numbers from both 03-22 and from 23 to now. I know we have a losing road record by over 10 games in that span and I’ll bet it’s a losing record vs ranked opponents.

@bskeet maybe bc it truly is a game of inches more than others? Non contact sport etc

I kept thinking all year Dawson would start hitting but he was not even online with his shots.

I see KU is in the mix for former Michigan St. big man Jaxon Kohler. Averaged 12.5 ppg and 8.9 rpg last season so what are the chances of him actually ending up in Lawrence?

I think you could circle a lot things in this one that were an issue. My main concern as it has been most the season is the rebounding. The refs were garbage and it’s starting to become major news across the country right now because what is a foul or a traveling one game is not in another. Sometimes which end it is on is completely different, they could’ve very easily called at least another 10 fouls on Arizona with how tight the whistle was for them. You guys and gals know I’ve always said professional sports in this country are rigged. I’m starting to wonder if college isn’t the same. It literally looked like KU cut it to 2 and the refs got a page or text reminding them of the spread. I think they should press have conferences after the game for officials. I mean how many of us can repeatedly do our job wrong or not all without having repercussions? The guy cleaning the ice machine at McDonald’s gets written up for forgetting to do it but officials at the second highest level of sports in this country making 6 figures have to answer to nobody.

Sorry... I've been AWOL! I only watched 3 minutes of this game, and I'm glad I missed it. I just looked at the box score and it feeds right into a thought I've had for quite some time.... it's about Tre. Tre has been our most consistent player all year and I am very glad we have him, because he usually finds his way to putting up good stats with lots of points and some needed rebounds. I'm thinking Tre is a guy who always takes advantage of the opportunity to prosper on average defenders. But when the competition toughens up, his production dies. He scored 2 against ISU, and 4 against UA. And I noticed this same trend in other tough battles. We really can't afford almost no production from any position. This is worse than Juan. Concerning DP... it was hard to imagine him doing well in this game. Hostile environment and energetic defense. Coming off the flu. Knocking the rust off his game. And he still isn't integrated into the offense. Until he starts averaging at least 4 apg, I won't be convinced he is integrated. He should be creating even more than that! I've heard all the excuses why he doesn't produce assists and I'm not buying any of them. His assist line might not be as important to NBA scouts as his points line, but I guarantee you it is important. At this point in the season, he really can't miss more games if we hope on really capitalizing on using him towards anything near the potential. But since our depth is limited, we can still use him no matter what, but we just can't hope to get a real bump. I wasn't really expecting we would leave the Hilton with a W, but I was hoping more for a loss similar to what UH just had. To see such a fall off like that doesn't really give me March optimism. But I predicted we would lose a few more then have another team meeting like we did earlier. We've seen so much recent growth... hope that keeps going because we need more development to be truly competitive in March. I've forgotten completely about competing for the B12 crown.

@Jayhawk_69 a win Monday would be massive imo, and would put us right back on track, especially if our core players all play fairly well to well.

@rcjhdraft Interesting, never have seen that.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I don’t think he’s ready by any stretch of imagination but you never know. Cheick diallo was drafted 33rd without really playing and a similar build to Flory.

Ugh, looks like the Chiefs will have mostly all new WRs next season. Rashee Rice seems to be in trouble again. Domestic violence claims this time. Hope it's not true. It could be that the WR and RB rooms look totally different next year. crazy. maybe not a bad thing though.

@FarmerJayhawk haha nice! Well done! Gonna have to pay more attention to Dusty May.

Odd trade. The weak spot looks like RT.

@approxinfinity

@approxinfinity As usual, you have the stats! And, they are dramatic,

@Jayhawk_69 said in Other Football Games Of Interest: There is an article on ESPN breaking down why 2026 Indiana is a better team than 1894 Yale. Sports journalism at its finest! They have to get creative the SEC is out and the ACC isn’t looking like the conference they once were in CBB.
