Tre White Highlights vs. Towson (16 Pts, 6 Rebs, 5 Asts)
-
I don't think he does. This is his 4th yr and don't believe he'd have a case medically for his freshman yr since he played in 14 games, however the rules don't seem to apply to many anymore. I don't even know what rules are followed.
-
@BeddieKU23 Dawson is a guy who I think could figure it out under Bill but 1 year just isnt enough
-
Yeah always possible he'd figure it out. Given he wasn't some cheap NIL option I'm not sure his current deal would work again. He really hasn't done anything impactful this year. Had high hopes, we've seen very brief flashes of what he can bring.
-
Rebounding/loose balls was the only concern last night as it could have been a real blowout otherwise. Gotta clean that up, Towson was scrappy and went after boards like a lite Houston.
Council showed Saturday wasn't a fluke, we didn't need 36 but he played with the same confidence and the jump shot looked good last night. Just an impressive dude that seems to be ascending more with/without Peterson. In a hypothetical where Peterson is 100% and playing like he's capable with this version of Council this is a tough out team.
Flory with 4 straight double-digit rebounding games. Tiller & Rosario broke the 3 pt drought finally. Tre White, tough as nails. 5 assists last night and that's quietly been a big improvement for him this year. The passing from this squad is light years better then the last few years and have to think Vaughn's influence there is showing.

Kohl has made 2 3's since the Princeton game. He made 7 in his first 4 games as a collegian and the future looked bright.
It's because he shaved the mighty mustache. To be fair, he is high school age.
-
@BeddieKU23 I would add bench production as another concern. A LOT more bench minutes than would be the case against a better opponent or in a closer game but shooting was awful - 4 for 19; 1 for 11 from 3.

@approxinfinity They are called coprolites.
You raised the IQ of this board sir and it's crap.
-
You are correct in that and it's going to get better I think. With Kohl, who broke his funky from deep, and Elmarko who both have shown they can get 15 along with 6'7" Samis, who is an athlete++ and 6'5" Jayden Dawson. What they have shown besides errant passes is they get after it on defense. All of them want to play and if Peterson keeps scoring a lot they will get more. Oh and Mbiya is okay too. We might have some losses in conference but in a street fight we would kick ass.
-
Yeah that's been an ongoing issue all year and will continue to be one.
-
Thank you.
-
Thank you.

Possible, but much harder in the NIL era. It really all hinges on Darryn. If he is back and able to play 30 minutes that means much less bench, and the first player off the bench is better etc
-
I know we have Davidson yet but my brain wants to look at the Big XII conference. I mean KU is at this time the 5th best team and that's ahead of TTU. Right now Houston freaking Houston is the 4th best then BYU third and eat this for supper ISU is the second best team really? Well ask Purdue WTF. Oh yeah Arizona who's gonna beat your big bad a**? KU is touted as a final four team with Darryn healthy and we are still probably 5th. It is like wow what a slate of big games this week and wow look at next week and oh yeah look at next week. We will need every last player on our bench to be our savior in this grist mill.
-
What are we realizing about the Jacque Vaughn immediate impact on this team's attitude? I can see that Self is very happy about it. We see Slim Self up on his feet really coaching and energized. He doesn't miss anything. What could the players think about having a pro head coach who has already lived the life that they are living now? Respect and mentoring for sure. What a great hire.
-
It looks like our games without DP... We really count on White, Council, and Bidunka. I think we have little margin of error. If one of these guys has a bad night, someone else has to pickup the stats. So far, I'm not feeling comfortable thinking the rest of the team can definitely take up the slack. I hope we get more consistency out of others. My first focus is on Tiller. If he can become just a bit more consistent on the stat sheet, it will help us tremendously!
-
I'm sure Vaughn helps and this may be beating a dead horse, but I think Hunter moving on has done wonders for the mentality of the team. The game looks so much more fun without a monster just standing in the paint waiting for the ball to be passed to him. And while he got his numbers it just never felt like he really cared. I'd trade his 18 and 10 for whatever numbers council was putting up BEFORE NC State any day.
-
@mayjay Well I should've mentioned it was about 10 degrees out with a wind chill below zero. I know I should've toughed it out, but an interesting podcast about a slave ship that the slaves took over and put the crew on lifeboats in the middle of the Atlantic kept me interested!
-
@benshawks08 It's really hard to determine if he cared. I'd look at numbers like he put up and say he did care. It might be the fact that like 10 guys transferred away from the team each of the last two seasons, most of whom to me were the ones who didn't care. Hunter stayed, cared. AJ, the kid from Bama, etc were guys who didn't care. Mid major transfers who proved they were mid major players in reality were a more tangible way of saying why we had our worst season in decades.
