Kansas Jayhawks at UCF Knights Game Chat Sat. 1/3 1:00 CT

Ok good look
-
I don't know where to start.
-
Defense is where I’d start
-
We'll lose Tuesday too
-
Nah
-
Welp. Not much to say after that. Almost glad I don't have the mental pictures of this loss. Birthday Boy Kohl with a big FAT ZERO POINTS. Have a great rest of the weekend. RCJH

Brutal mistakes all throughout the game
-
Unfortunately this game gives us a lot of negative takeaways and only 1 positive.
The positive: Melvin Council is the real deal. He is a stud who can hit big shots, play defense, and get to the rim at will.
The negatives:
-
DP will not play a second half for us all year. It does not matter if he is "100%". It just isn't going to happen.
-
Our defense, it turns out, was a paper tiger.
-
We have no heart. This is the only explanation for us not getting any defensive rebounds. We have the size and athleticism to be great on the glass.
-
We have no toughness. Everytime we tied or took the lead we gave up an easy basket at the other end. In the last minute with a chance to win we allowed 100% 3 pt percentage, 100% shooting from the field, and gave up 2.67 points per possession.
-
Flory has not taken the step forward needed from him.
-
Tiller is not ready to be a big 12 starter.
I suppose, on the bright side, all these issues (minus number 1) are fixable, but as of now it looks like we are a bottom half of the Big 12 team.
-
-
That officiating crew needs to go back to school and figure out what continuation is, how to rule when a defender is straight up in the circle, and what a body check looks like.
-
Seems overly negative to me. I think this team has a ton of heart. We also outrebounded them on the defensive end.
The one thing we need more than anything is to force more TOs. We just do an awful job of it and I’m not quite sure why, whether it’s scheme or talent. Probably some of both.
-
The other side of the coin is UCF is 12-1 and they’ll give a ton of teams trouble in that building. The road is tough in this conference and it’s disappointing to drop one that we could’ve won with better team defense. Kohl and Tiller played like highschool freshman much of the game. A good learning point for them.
-
18-5 bench isn't great.
-
"Darryn Who?" Melvin Council.
Darryn is an unbelievable talent. However . . . if he cannot play 40 minutes like everyone else, then IMO he is a distraction. As good as Peterson is, the 'Hawks have shown that they can be a good team with Melvin at PG. The Jayhawks can't max their potential if they have to BOTH learn to play with him and play without him. Can't see us doing much in the conference. Maybe, maybe Bill will figure something out in time for the tournament. -
Subtract Darryn and Melvin and you are left with 29 two guys do not make us good offensively,
-
This post is deleted! -
Yeah this is super not good
-
We’ve been pretty consistently around 13-14 per game. It would be huge to have those extra possessions when we don’t score it great in the half court
-
Not sorry I don't have Peacock today.
-
If Tre, Melvin and DP can figure out how to play together look out
-
@kjayhawks2.0 I think that is up to Bill. As a HOF coach making millions, it's not too much to expect.
