  • Why not put Dok back in? Let him finish the game.



  • Woah. Dude just banked in a free-throw.



  • @stoptheflop I’m not too concerned. We’ve pounded them in their weak spot. Inside play has destroyed Marquette tonight.



  • Nice what a little perimeter D can do.

    Fair enough. I Just have trouble with the “entitlement” vibe here sometimes. We can’t win em all.

    Cool. I have a problem with our perimeter defense.

    17 points so far in the 2nd half… I still think this team ends up being dominate defensively. My 1st half meltdown has been rescinded.

    FTs? No ability to dribble against the press? Both?



  • Grimes has been mostly invisible this game - biggest number on stat sheet is fouls…



  • Hell of a second half. Good win.



  • Still undefeated… Wooooooo!!!

    291st ranked team in 3-point defense. Got torched in the 1st half knowing that Marquette was going to shoot 3’s. Played better in the 2nd half. Good. Still a lot of work to do if they want to be a dominant defensive team.



  • @KirkIsMyHinrich And, need to work on dealing with pressure - very sloppy the last few minutes, esp. with so many perimeter players…

    There is still plenty of work to do, but this second half is a glimpse of where this team will be at more times than not once January rolls around.



  • Garrett took 14 shots and Q took 3! WTF…



  • Uh, what was that officiating comment about from the commentator?

    Based on what? Percentage? I can find favorable stats. 3rd ranked Kenpom defense before the game. And I’ll go ahead and say it will still be ranked top 5 after holding a good offensive Marquette team to under 70 points.

    Well I will say teams absolutely do not guard Garrett.

    Edit: But point still stands.



  • Too bad some people weren’t able to enjoy this win.

    Yes, based on 3-point percentage. As I’ve said for the 100th time now. And my complaint was about Kansas’ perimeter defense and opponent 3-point percentage. Thank you for finding KenPom stats for me, though.



  • Rock Chalk Gobble Gobble ! Happy Turkey Day everybody.

    (And let’s be Thankful that our team has the kind of “problems” that about 300-plus other Division I schools would love to have.)



  • I think we tightened defense on perimeter. That shut them down.

    Good win.

    I will say Garrett played very well on defense. Was very active and challenged their 3’s in the second half



  • Good guys win yet again and are the number 1 team in the country yet again. Good to be a Jayhawk fan

    Thanks for finding 3pt % for me.



  • Good win, Kansas. If we play two 2nd-halves like tonight I think we’ll have a good chance against the Vols. Rock Chalk.



  • Bwag said:

    Good win.

    Marquette had 10 3 attempts in second half vs 21 in first.

    That’s what I was complaining about. Let’s continue that approach and be ready for balance of the year.

    It’s very obvious that the 3 point defense for KU needs work. The 2nd half looked a lot better obviously.

    I think Gonzaga will jump us. Cause…Duke.

    Yep! We have the horses inside to hedge and funnel guys into the paint. Run guys off the line. 3>2 especially when the 3s are open and with the twos there is a behemoth patrolling the paint.

    Well, I do think Gonzaga is the better team right now. They are experienced and used to playing together though. They got this Duke win without one of their best 2 players too!



  • StLJhawk said:

    Wait until after Friday night. KU does play the #5 team in the country Friday and Gonzaga doesn’t play again until Monday so they may end up being #1 when the next poll comes out.



  • @BShark think I’ll have another Johnny Walker Green 15 year old in celebration.

  • And just like that, we looked like a ranked team.



  • Will Virginia break 50 points?



  • @Bwag no

    Probably, but maybe not 60.

    Its just simply not the only stat that matters for a defense as a whole. And I’d think after a 2nd half of clearly making the adjustment you’d see that? You’re right, we need to improve and do better on a consistent basis. But, we showed that we can. What did we allow, four 3s in the 2nd half? That wasn’t just cold shooting. That was good perimeter defense.



  • @Kcmatt7 The 2nd half was a very encouraging sign. I hope they keep it up!



  • I wasn’t complaining about our defense as a whole, I was specifically complaining about our 3-point defense. Before the game. During the game. After the game.

    Yes, the perimeter defense was better in the 2nd half. I agree.



  • Dotson was extremely good tonight. He shut down Markus Howard completely in the 2nd half.



  • I would love to hear Selfs halftime “talk” . Going to assume there would be a lot of “bleeps”



  • @Kcmatt7 we allowed 10 attempts- that is the key. Cut their attempts by more than 50%.

    I will say that I’m surprised Bill didn’t make it an emphasis this season (so far) after the Nova game.



  • When KU decides to guard they are scary good. When they don’t, they are very beatable.

    This team will get better as the year goes on. This is typical of KU in November. KU will still win 30+ games, they will still win the regular season title, they will still be a 1 or 2 seed, they will still be in the KC region starting out in either Des Moines or Tulsa.

    None of the issues with this team are things we haven’t seen from a Bill Self team just about every year in November.



  • BShark said:

    Dotson was the MVP tonight, imo.



  • @Kcmatt7 I’d vote Dedric, but Dotson was very good.

    This team should not struggle on either end at any time. Too much talent.
