Kansas vs Duke Game Thread:

Shooting wasn’t the problem 44%
4/11 from three. Just didn’t get enough shots due to the turnovers

A normal turnover game and this is an easy win.

@tundrahok I agree I’ve been saying offense is the issue. If we had a guy that could consistently hit that Marcus Morris elbow midrange jumper it would be a different story.
I think Jalen and Tristan are promising at the 4. Wonder what direction Bill will go in.
Bruh you posted the exact opposite like a week ago. We’re going to be a great team. Get Moss, get Dotson healthy, we’ll be fine.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Defense can still be an issue depending on the opponent. Offense was CLEARLY an issue tonight. Can’t shoot, turnover machine.
-
We will be fine guys. We out shot them in fg% and 3%. Turnovers can be fixed. We will get it figured out by the Michigan State game

We have to beat UCLA or BYU to even play MSU most likely. I’M NOT CONVINCED.
-
@BShark well we played the stretchiest perimeter team out there and made them look stupid all night. Offense will get a lot better. We’re going to win the league by 3 games.
-
We have one play maker, Dotson, who didn’t make plays or lead. Agbaji is not very good off the ball yet. I think the Lightfoot red-shirt is a mistake. Self’s best teams always had a senior who calmed things down simply by being in the right place and doing things correctly.
-
I’d rather play a stinker like this the first game of the season than the last one.

We need Dotson’s ankle to heal. I’d give him mine if I could.
On Mitch, when you read the statement Bill put out it seems fairly clear to me that Bill wishes he had Mitch available but this is what is best for Mitch getting his post grad paid for.
-
Our bigs need to finish! Geez!

Nah we got it

We out shot them percentage wise, field goals, 3 point percentage, (yes they made 4 more total) and free throw percentage. Out rebounded them too by 10. One more block then the dookies, one more steal, even in assists. Turnovers - 11 more then them. It was close … Biggus Davus made a bonehead pass, but it could have been us to win Let’s hope we meet the blue dookwads again in the tourney.
-
November 5th - - - have to laugh. - - 28 turnovers - -equals 28 less opportunities to score the ball - – - your point guard turns the ball over 6 times - - your opponent only shoots 36 % - -and you only lose by 2.
Bright spot in this game if there can be one - - -Udoka - -making 2-3 from the ft line - - - -75 % free thowing - - atta boy.
This game is behind us - -time to work on ball handling – free throw shooting and all that other good stuff - - Dad gummit - so much for us running the table/perfect Season lol - - -can only laugh/that or find new cuss words - - I’ll laugh. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Look at it this way. If we turn it over ONLY 25 TIMES we win. My lord.
-
We got Moss’d.

Imagine if they cut that number in half.
I actually don’t feel too terrible about this loss. Just kind of venting with some typing/verbal diarrhea.

All that ads to a loss. - -final Duke 68 KU -66 - -pretty hard to win when the opponent gets 11 more chances to score - -1st game - - NEXT
-
We will be much better with Moss. We will be hard to guard.
-
Had a pretty good 8 minute stretch at the beginning of the 2nd half
-
Not trying to pile on Dave, but just thinking back to some wasted possessions in the last 3 minutes… illegal screen, stupid bounce pass to Doke. Clanked followup on Garret’s miss. Love the dude, but not the guy I want involved in clutch time compared to pretty much anyone else on the team.

Career High and team leading 13 rebounds

@jayballer73 Yeah, I know. Just wish he would’ve kicked it out to a guard on that last board.
-
@jayballer73 padding his stats w/misses
-
Well, it’s nice to be old enough to know this game won’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. Honestly, we deserved to lose. But Duke really did too.

And? If Self goes back to the 2 big lineup this team WILL NOT reach its potential. This isnt 2010. Our bigs will get exposed on d all season.
-
@DanR Agreed. This is almost like a practice game. Good for the film room to teach. We will improve from this. We’ve seen some ugly openers in this thing in past years and recovered.
-
Devonte Graham scored 35 tonight in an overtime loss.
-
I think Silvio’s impact was greatly overstated. I’m sure he’s rusty but he didn’t show much of anything tonight. He might not see very many minutes.

Uhhh… we were lights out on defense… their only offense was our offense.

Or OR OR maybe - - just maybe rebounding other guys misses when we could actually get a shot up WITHOUT turning the ball over

if you notice and or Heard Self he said that he thought Dave did a pretty decent job in the open floor. - - having 2 Big’s - WAS NOT the reason we lost this game - - - believe that - -when the other team gets up 14 more shots then you because of your turnovers - -When your main Big man only get 4 shot attempts for the ENTIRE game and you lose by two - -IS NOT because of having two Big’s on the floor -that’s a pretty good AND?

100% YES ABSOLUTELY
-
Idk a starting line-up with three guys that can’t shoot sure doesn’t help. That said we did see that bully ball can work, gotta clean up the TOs.
-
@BShark which 3, I got 4
-
-
And we didn’t even have our best shooter.
-
I cooled down after a shower, I got a little heated there sorry folks. Just disappointed in the last few days here. Lost a game we thought would be a good one Saturday, then complete blow this game with turnovers. Rough week for the hawks.

Saturday is on you a bit I think, though you are not alone, many got tricked. I expected KSU to roll as this is far from my first rodeo.
-
I’m not seeing the big improvement of Dave. You guys?
-
@BShark I wouldn’t say I was bold enough to predict victory, just wanted a game in a packed house. I never saw 28 turnovers coming tonight tho. Not with with Dook have freshman. It like the roles were flipped tonight. We played like freshman especially in transition.
-
Crimsonorblue22 said:

One game and he barely played last year. I think he will be fine but we have too many 5s. I think both him and Doke would do better as the lone true post player.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I thought he was okay, had a couple bad turnovers on a night that everyone wearing blue did as well. I love how strong he is on the glass. He needs to stop shooting jumpers if he can’t hit them tho, his shot reminds me of Cole Aldrich behind the head ugliness.
-
Crimsonorblue22 said:

Oh I see it. Can’t teach his motor. He’s just a bit late on a lot of plays now where even thinking of making the pass wouldn’t cross his mind a year ago.
-
@FarmerJayhawk What do you make of the Silvio situation? Seems like Bill is pissed at him.
-
@BShark he even stated that, not pissed but you know
-

Honestly I think Silvio is playing like a true freshman. He made some super effort plays but wasn’t that sound. 4 boards in 7 minutes is awesome. Good FT shooter. But missed some bunnies (0-3 shooting) and just never got in rhythm. Needs reps between Friday and legit games in Maui.
-
Silvio just doesn’t add anything that Doke and Dave don’t already do. Everyone kept talking about how he was developing this mid range jumper but we didn’t see it. He couldn’t finish around the rim and doesn’t hustle as much as Dave. Right now he is clearly #3 in that rotation if we go to 4 guards. I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if he only plays 10-15 MPG at this point.

Bill, “I think we made easy plays difficult.” Exactly. Not like we played out of our skulls and lost. We threw our D game and lost by 2. Probably played a B+ game on defense and a F——- on offense. We raise the offense to a D and we win by 10.
