Worst 15-3 Team In The Country vs Boo Birds Game Thread
-
So a guy can get the chance at the last second put back vs three white jerseys in the immediate area and it’s because we don’t know who we are? Nah. These guys have been playing ball awhile now. A sense of urgency… A drive to excel… I won’t make excuses for that. It’s just plain lazy

Vick and Grimes. 1-10 from field - 0-4 on 3s and 1 RB…
Both their lines are pretty bleak…
-
@Big-Clyde52 Yes, but we were tied at the half in that game…
-
So is Ochai going to sit the entire second half again? We need him to give us some energy and stay under control.
-
We’re trying to play 4-1 without shooters. I said before. Like my chances 3-2 with this group better. Just because of the lack of shooting. We will only look decent when 3’s fall.
-
@Bwag Not sure bleak quite captures it?
-
@DCHawker Good point!!!
-
How basketball works is it’s a big advantage to sprint down the floor, really on both ends to gain a numeric advantage. I see one team hustling and they ain’t wearing white.
-
Grimes is in a nasty transitional funk. He just doesn’t seem well adjusted. I think we can all agree most of these guys will be back next year, except maybe DLaw.
-
If we’re going to have no rebounding at all why not throw DMack in and put Vick on the bench.
-
Looks like a team that didn’t practice since last friday to me. No game plan on either end that I can tell except to try to outrun and gun ISU and hope to shoot 35 free throws if they get in foul trouble (which they aren’t). Will be interesting to see if we slow it down in the second half, but I doubt it.
-
Clones controlling tempo and KU struggling to maintain.
-
@Big-Clyde52 2 fouls no he will play
-
@DCHawker Great point. The opposing team has way more points tonight than Saturday.
I didn’t feel that bad at half Saturday, actually. Our offense sucked, but our defense is good. Tonight, well, I’ll just stop there.
-
-
The bottom line is that we desperately need Silvio to be cleared - not just for rebounding and some interior presence, but also so Vick and Grimes aren’t on the floor at the same time…
-
If Vick and Q hit just a couple shots we are up. Come on guys, you have to hit those shots, especially the wide open 3’s.
-
Serious gut check time here this second half.

Well, at least they got the turnovers under control…
Now about that defense…
-
Assists, rebounds, and 3pt attempts looks liek the difference in the box score. That should all be correctable with adjustments at half time.
-
@DCHawker You just figured that tonight?
-
I’ve been more frustrated with Self this season than any other with KJ playing huge minutes last game and tonight, the team that killed us from 3 2 weeks ago were gonna let them shoot it. Its just not logical, I dont get it.
-
@truehawk93 I’m kinda slow on the uptake…
-
@DCHawker I have already forgot about that situation. Hope to get a huge surprise.
-
@DCHawker LOL…

This KU team just doesn’t play that well as a team. I am not sure the assist numbers are ever going to get much better.
Now, if most of the core returns for next season, they will probably improve in that regard.
And yeah, 3PA…tale as old as time with Bill. We can talk about KU missing open looks but KU is only 3-8, that’s solid for this team. Literally identical to ISU as they are 6-16, but obviously they shot twice as many. Weird that they have more points…
-
Positives: we are doing better in Turnovers (6-9), Fouls (4-7), Steals (5-4), Freethrow% (100-50)
-
Agbaji in over Grimes to start this half. GOOD.
-
Mood
-
@BShark well, it was like we were running some action that resulted in open passing lanes on several plays, and when the pass was there the ball handler flinched, didn’t pass, and shot a brick.
-
@tundrahok Wish we were doing better in the score though…
-
Horton-Tucker is going to shoot every chance
-
Vick, ugh
-
Deflating watching them put up a fadeaway only to get the rebound
-

Not his night tonight.

Why can;t we call a f’ing timeout there?
-
Did Self spend too much time in the sun earlier today? Very red in the face…
-
YIKES
-
ugh
-
@DCHawker Maybe he’s still recovering from getting smashed with Huggiebear in Morgantown after the game.
-
Clown call
-
We’ve fallen in love with the incredibly tough drive to the heavily guarded layup
-
Offense is a huge issue
-
For the love of God
-
@Bwag define “we” and “love”
-
Still can’t guard the 3. JEEEEEZZZZZ!!!
-
Had ton of chances to get this game close
-
Can’t even make a run st home. Wow
-
@BShark Along with the huger defense issue…
-
Getting what we deserve
