The Other Bruce Game Thread
-
2nd half was at least respectable even with some of the defensive lapses
-
Won the 2nd half by 12. Small victories.
-
Dedric is the cheat code on a game genii where you’re like “wtf did it do? nothign seems different?”
-
+12 for second half but lost by 14…we won the 2nd half decisively!
-
Well friends, it really wasnt fun much of the year and now we await the hammer from the NCAA. What a feeling…
-
3 > 2 shout out to jaybate
-
@BShark common sense 3>2 especially when you main source of 2s shoots less than 40% at the rim (Dedric).
-
And '18-'19 is officially over. Fair thee well.
-
Get to work, young fellas.
-
I don’t mind losing if we play hard, but two years in a row getting humiliated and embarrassed with the full national audience watching. Tough to swallow. I was smarter this year. Turned it off early and watched a comedy which worked. Had a good laugh.
-
This season is kind of like Apollo 13 if we don’t get murdered by the NCAA.

There is that.
-
Just watched our players walk off the court on the news. Dotson was the only one upset, couple of guys were even smiling.
-
I hope Dotson stays. He might be the best point guard in the country next season.

When the days close in And shadows drown the land Where the shore of the ocean recedes To melancholic spaces
It was the darkness that swallowed the beauty of day The darkness comes closer All visions and dreams left away Hand in hand we can find our (way) back home
Let’s fly high over the rainbow And along to the emerald skies Let’s find the key of salvation You’re receiving an answer to life
See the glance of dawn A flaming romance And the shades of the ardent sun Leave sentimental graces

Charlie was smiling when Auburn was running the clock out on the last possession. I think he’s gone.

@KirkIsMyHinrich I’d be fine if only Mitch, Dave, Ochai, Doke and Dot returns. Everyone can’t GTFO and I’ll be happy.

I shit post about Garrett but we want him back.
-
@BShark shoot I forgot him by mistake

Yeah, the attitude of the Lawsons is not great and when one of them is your best player that kind of thing can seep into the rest of the team. Vick didn’t help either.

We need him to stay badly that’s for sure.
-
@BShark yes my inside sources have only negatives to say about them boys

We need athletic players that can defend. Dotson, Garrett, Och and Mitch are a great place to start.
-
Arguably the worst season Self has had here
-
@BShark This is a good point. The leadership dynamic was inverted on this season’s team. Vick didn’t act like a senior at all. Dedric is quiet and takes a lot of plays off defensively. Doke got injured and De Sousa got suspended for 2 seasons. I want Garrett and Lightfoot back because even if they suck they at least seem like they have the right kind of attitude.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Both are fine bench players. Self will probably start Garrett though.
Dotson is a warrior too.
-
The dynamic was definitely screwed up. Seems like Dotson taking over as leader next season will be a very natural and positive transition.

It’s gonna be a huge plus.
Bringing in a GREAT kid in McBride too.
Braun probably needs to be slapped around a bit in practice.

If Braun sees the floor next year at all it will be a nice surprise imo.

I’m only talking about attitude stuff with that post to be clear.
But I would agree I don’t think he will play much if at all next year.
-
He might. We didn’t think Ochai would this season. Braun can shoot 3’s we can always use that.

Ochai is also built like a 5th year senior lol.
But your point is definitely legitimate.

@KirkIsMyHinrich About 10 minutes into the #kubball postgame locker room availability, Dedric Lawson broke down, buried his head in his shirt and openly wept. He said he felt the team should’ve accomplished more and felt it’s his fault they didn’t.
Heartbreaking, and obviously not true

Yep. It’s awful video. He’s come such a long way since getting suspended for breaking Mitch’s face. I really want him to come back but I don’t blame him for leaving. https://twitter.com/jessenewell/status/1109680912491384832?s=12

I honestly feel bad for Dedric and the guys that care but you have to care during the game fellas. You have to go hard every minute in this tournament to win most games. Anyone that has any direct knowledge of this saw him take at least 15 possessions off on defense, that’s not a way to win in this tournament. I just rewatched the first half, why I don’t know. But I couldn’t count how many times we had 2 or 3 guys lazily walking up the court that lead to their 26 fast break points in that half or how many times we were closer to a rebound and lightly jogged or walked towards it while they sprinted and got it, then made a shot. We really played about average on offense the key stats to me are their 30 whatever fast break points and our 16 TOs. Maybe Self should use this game as an example going forward to guys of how not to play. I stand behind my statement from earlier, if we just hustled in the that half we would’ve had a chance. Best of luck to the Jayhawks that don’t return in the future career, I’m pretty frustrated with several of them but thanks for another 25+ win season.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He has nothing to hang his head about. He had a great season. I hope he comes back, and if he does I just want him to play a little more defense.
