Dayton Game Thread
-
By the way, our point guard is playing pretty well. 6/8 FG, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals. He’s the best player in the game so far.
-
Doke is the most important player on KU’s roster. He has to play as much as possible
-
Ochai 1-7 that half. Need him or someone besides Dotson to step up and make some shots.
If they can’t guard the 3 better it probably won’t matter though.
-
When the refs target Doke like this he never adjusts. His 3rd and 4th fouls will be the same as the first half
-
KU’s overall strategy is fine. Make someone other than Toppin beat them and so far, UD has other guys stepping up.
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d tell him forget the offensive glass and get back, can’t have those fouls right now.

the 2nd foul on Doke
One of the worst calls I have seen in awhile.

I think if Doke wasn;t taken out of the game by that bad call KU is up by about 8 right now.
-
@BShark Ya very bad, very important call. Sucks but we move on.
-
Didn’t realize Dayton had won Maui before.
-
OH no
-
F this Ref
-
Welp. Gonna be tough sledding without Marcus
-
Doke screens are very effective for 4 guards.
Who says he doesn’t fit a modern O
-
Called that on Garrett, but not the reach on Dotson that did make contact with the arm?
-
Big 3
-
Another big 3 by Tristan

Doke is an amazing player ESPECIALLY in a 4 out. Imo it maximizes his strengths.

Dirty dayton
-
Another foul arm bar by 35

This is why I kept saying in the off-season that either McCormack or Silvio had to develop range to make a high-low work with Doke. Tristan is probably the best fit in that role for now.

Can we win if we continue to give them open 3s?
-
Big time play by Dotson on that short jumper
. Enaruna besides the 3 has done nothing all week. Kid cant hold onto the ball

Unfortunately we might have to find out.
-
Why do teams keep fronting Doke?
-
Obi taking over here. Gotta keep posting Doke up and go at him.
-
Freshman mistakes on back to back possessions

3rd best player in the tournament behind Edwards and Winston.
-
Defense is all out of sorts this half
-
Defend simple as that.
-
Can’t give up wide-open 3’s and expect to beat anyone.
-
If we can get to the point we are trading 3 for 4 instead of 3 for 2, feeding Doke can win it all.
-
The problem is that they can all shoot the 3 and Doke can’t defend out there.
-
Once again failing at simple defensive assignments. Let’s see if we fold here, Braun just isn’t ready to major D1 ball yet. He’s a liability on both ends.
-
That last possession was just great offense by Dayton.
-
Let’s try a 4-1 with De Sousa?

The problem is then we can’t score.

DeSousa is the worst of the 5’s and why he plays the least. Only chance KU has is with Doke on the floor.
-
Moss hasn’t hit shit last two games
-
This version of Doke is shooting 77% just like soph Doke.
-
Jeez wide open shot in a zone
-
Have to make it
-
I jinxed Doke.

He’s Vick on offense. One big game, then disappears for several games. That’s his career at Iowa, but a lot of people didn’t want to believe that.
-

Stop feeding Doke let Dotson take this game over so sick of feeding the post for it to never come back out
-
Doke has to hit those hooks from 3 feet.

I feel like he would be a lot better if he took them more on balance but I might be hallucinating. At least he can make a guarded three.
He is a valuable piece but we definitely need Dotson and Doke to produce every night.

Both of those looked solid too. Wish they went in…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Well Dayton has made 11 3-pointers. At some point we have to stop hemorrhaging 3-pointers. De Sousa can at least guard the perimeter better.
