Hawks vs Pokes Game Thread
-
Just 4 assists at half, guys have to find ways to get through this Zone crap they are playing.
-
@DoubleDD no, that is poor perimeter D and a result of the wing not seeing ball and man.
-
I feel like the biggest reason for Bragg not playing more is that he frequently gets lost on D.
-
Yea but a good post player is the last line of defense. And right now it’s hit and miss.
-
@DoubleDD What is frustrating is that there are certain instances this year where they have played great defense and had good focus, but most of the time they look like they don’t want to.
-
boooooooooooo
-
@DoubleDD but you shouldn’t need that. Nova didn’t last year.
-
Known KU fan Forte playing well.
-
I’ve been trying to watch our post players on defense. At times they look like a dog chasing their tail.
-
@BShark as usual. Why didn’t we get him?
-
@DoubleDD yes but they aren’t our first line of defense.
-
Fran for once is correct, Self wanted Smart but not Forte.
-
@HawkChamp his best games r against us
-
@BShark man Forte is the kind of guy that would have been very beneficial especially with his shooting
-
Flop
-
How different would KU be today had they seriously recruited Forte instead of a token offer and KU had landed Smart and Forte.
-
YEP
-
Not a cramp fran

Joke

We don’t seem to have a first or second line of defense… They’ve gotten to the rim every possession this half so far…
-
@DCHawker correct
-
That was dumb svi he only goes right
-
It’s been an issue all year.
-
@BShark really for the last three years
-
@HawkChamp Self only seriously recruited Marcus Smart. They never seriously pursued Forte like OSU did. It was known that Smart and Forte were a package deal and Ford recruited them as a pair and Self focused primarily on Smart.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 why is the question.
-
Just laying an egg
-
Every friggin’ possession…
-
Zone is working
-
-
And this is why you can’t rely on offense. One bad shooting game and you are out of the tournament. UCLA can probably get away with that this year, though.
-
I think the
cat is finally outta da bag on DGs wheels So some one tell me what I’ve missed?
-
@BeddieKU23 no 2nd shots for us
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
shots
Have to make the wide open ones. Graham and mason responsbile for missing shots they make all year
-
@BeddieKU23 that has to change along with our D or this is a loss
-
Why would you say that? I’ve seen a whole host of teams that played great defense getting beat. You have to have an offense to win the championship. If the round ball doesn’t go in the hoop. You get no points.
-
If Josh could shoot he would be unstoppable.
-
We’re not making anything and giving up easy buckets and getting out rebounded - kinda fortunate to only be down 6…
-
@DCHawker saving all the three pointers for Monday
-
Is the OSU center good from outside? Why are their wings able to keep blowing by LL on the way to the basket after the big guy pulls him out to the circle?
-
@HawkChamp That’s fine if we could only make a few more 2 pointers…
-
Good play and bad play from Svi
-
Talk about ticky tacky
-
Much better
-
There we go!!!
-
KU about to explode.
-
Gotta pressure like this on the perimeter on D for this team to be effective defensively.

Nope not playing to scouting report
-
Brad is no fool, smart time out.
-
Was really upset lucas got out hustled for a rebound by a 6 5 guard. Should never happen
