KU vs the Purps
-
There is just something so odd about this picture. At home - shooting 50% from 3 - against TCU! - and just up a deuce…
-
Wonder if we could play D for like 1 possession

Rebounding and defense.
-
Welcome back, Devonte…you’re a sight for sore eyes…
-
Sadly, with this team playing in AFH I root for a 2 possession lead, which we finally have.
-
@BShark Agree - the point is that it is so unlike the typical Self team - we just haven’t seen this before…
-
@cragarhawk they just don’t want to expend much energy it seems. We have seen them when they know they need a stop, so it is within their ability to play lockdown D.
-
Double OUCH, Lucas 0 points, and 1 rb.
-
And that is the point.
-
@HawkChamp that could be the whole deal. Self says save a lil energy tonight fellas. It crossed my mind
-
@DCHawker the odd thing is that they are capable of it.
-
This KU team is a lot like the really good ISU teams. Though they never had a player like Josh.

True.
-
I give credit to TCU, only 5 turnovers and very few breakaways for us (one I think)
-
Showtime!
-
WOW
-
I was gonna complain about Lucas not kicking it back out but that Josh dunk made me forget or something.
-
What’s this? A two possession lead at the break.
-
Man this is a sight for sore eyes - defense leading to offense. Very nice
-
08 team lived off this. Blew a lot of teams out by doing that. Gawd the 08 team was so good.
-
Cole Aldrich the FOURTH big. We seem so far removed from that now.
-
Fun here!
-
@BShark yes. As evidenced by the last two minutes, this team is capable of that kind of play but they just dont do it often
-

They are, which is what makes it all the more frustrating. Literally long stretches where there is at best indifference on the defensive end. Maybe they are “pacing” themselves because of a lack of depth, but it just allows inferior teams to stick around - which has the perverse effect of requiring more energy… The only real complaint I have with HCBS this year is not stealing a few minutes from Coleby and/or Mitch each game and a bit of 3 out and 2 in just to allow a couple of minutes of rest for the primary 6 and lessen foul problems…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Way to rub it in Crimson. I have to wait until the post-game show to see Rush’s ceremony. Have fun. I’m glad for you.
-
Yeah defense is mostly an effort thing and it’s harder when you only play 7 guys.
-
Nice to see Devonte attacking. Excellent
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Rub it in…
-
Rip that board down Bragg… Man I love that…
-
Rebounding changing the game.
-
Show off…
-
@BShark ain’t it peculiar
-
Trying to steal minutes with BIFM on the pine.
-
Good Bragg. Attacking. I like it
-
I don’t like the gray jerseys. Bring back our home court whites
-
Good move by Bragg.
-
Man Bragg is stepping up his game. Did the light go off?
-

Ha didn’t even make it until the under 12
-
Wow, Lucas and Vick still with the old goose eggs in scoring.
-
Nice Bragg…
-
Svi with the swat and foul.
-
SVIRASER!
-
KU fans smile and be proud. We are seeing our beloved Bragg becoming a man.
-
@DoubleDD we get more depth and yet another dimension if so
-
TCU is a good little team. They have a couple quick little guards with a bunch of big bodies. They will make the tournament.
-
Okay - I need to harp on Svi more often - wake him up. That’s the first life I’ve seen out of him in the past half dozen games.
-
You nailed it. If Bragg continues this effort. Then KU just got that much harder to beat.
-
@DCHawker true that.
-
@KUSTEVE they got work to do if they do. But it could happen
-
Where did Svi learn how to play defense like that???
