Doke comes back in. Some life.
-
When you switch, you let the offense dictate who guards who.
-
Danny Manning would have made that jump hook!
-
Dok has a role in this game. Defended on perimeter and flush on the O side
-
Are some of ya’ll seriously complaining because essentially a new team isn’t playing the caliber of defense a championship team that played together for 3 years played?
Don’t forget that the core of the title team played together for 3 years. That’s 3 years worth of chemistry and knowing what each other player was going to do.
This team has 4 games worth of chemistry. Don’t forget the core of that championship team lost to Bradley in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament and lost a lot of games when they were freshmen. Same deal with the previous 2 KU teams. They lost a lot games when they were young and had a couple of early tournament exits as well.
The issues with this team will not be fixed overnight. Wait until after the Christmas break when KU only plays 3 games between 12/8 and 12/29. That’s when the improvements will happen because that’s when they happen every year.
This is hardly the first year under Self when KU has looked lost at the beginning of the season. The finals and Christmas breaks are always when the most improvements happen for Self teams.

We’d be screaming if that pick was called against us.

It was earlier in the game
-
Surprised Garrett started the second half? Self sees something I don’t. Trust is difficult when you’re behind to an unranked team.
-
Nicely put.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’d just like to see us gaurd the damn 3 point line for a change. That’s all I’m really asking for.
-
Especially when we know that’s what they want to do.
-
If Q and Dedric can’t do anything on offense this team is going to struggle.
-
Guard 3’s = Win game.
-
Also, can anyone fathom a reason that Marcus started over Q? Defense I guess…
-
@BShark haters gonna hate.
-
Doke just got his 3rd
-
I know Vick is hot but that’s a bad shot.
-
Clean block. Good play.
-
But this 15 year Scotch is smooth.

Back away from the ledge. I guarantee we could go back to games chats from the first few games of each of the past few seasons and see the exact same complaints. These issues are nothing new for a Bill Self team in November.
-
Vick can make tough shots but KU should try to get easier shots than that.
-
marquette is getting in foul trouble and that should cost them
-
Much better defense, Marquette is yet to score in the second half.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 not on the ledge. Just looking forward in time to National Championship game when we get bombed out of the gym because we NEVER learn to guard the line.
-
If Doke is in the game he needs to get paint touches every possession.
-
I think he’s trying to light a fire under Q
-
10-0 run to start the 2nd half.
-
Back to down 1

Every single time
-
Naysayers quiet for right now.
-
And up 1
-
Let’s guard the line now and win.
-
Got away with one there - clear on the replay that Doke walked…
-
Bail-out foul. Doke lucky there.
-
Garrett can penetrate, just wish it would go in. But like having the lead and the tempo
-
Duke needs to go to grannies
-
His free throws are getting worse
-
What a finish. Wow, Dotson.
-
Doke still can’t hit FTs… sigh
-
I think my feed is ahead of the rest of you…
-
Dotson driving!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich That was highlight real!

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and you’re complaining because KU isn’t a finished product yet. KU will be just fine when March rolls around and everyone knows what their role is and has played 30+ games as opposed to 4 games.
If this team isn’t playing better after the Christmas break, then panic and worry will be justified. Right now, this is a typical Bill Self Kansas team doing what they typically do at this time of year.
-
I will try not to spoil things for you.
-
Blind squirrels! Right

Do we win?

There is the 15-0 run I predicted…

If we guard the 3-point line.
-
17-0 run, dang Bill chewed some ass during half time
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich So your feed isn’t that far ahead!
