UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!!! Free throws, turnovers, pathetic 3 point defense. 4 point lead and give a big blow job!!!
-
4-10 from the line, tons of missed lay-ups, stupid turnovers. I can’t believe we lost this.

Frame that for march

Game was lost when Dotson inexplicably got his pocket picked and gave them two points
-
This is what KU does in the road game before Christmas. They play like shit and when it’s a good opponent, they typically lose.
This is nothing new for a Bill Self team in this game on the schedule.
-
Well this is why @BShark and I were afraid.

I kept saying this was going to happen as well.

With Marcus out some frosh got some valuable experience come March-April.

Strongly agree. Worst case it should have been Nova ball down 4 having to go full court with like a minute to go.
-
Difference in this game is we pissed down our leg to lose it.
Up 4 under 2 and Dotson shits himself.

And while looking for silver linings, will take that and the chip on the shoulder that a game like this can bring.

Braun did some growing up.
-
Braun surprised me
-
Tristan E had a few moments
-
We’re a significantly better team. Not reading into this much. It’s forking December and Self’s teams always get a lot better over break.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Just frustrating because this game should have been a win.
-
Bill Self has been out Defensive schemed repeatedly by Wright. While I"m not at all trying to trash Self or run him off, but Wright would be a great replacement if we were looking and he was open.

Ah well. Not worth getting too bent out of shape over.
-
Nova only made 10 threes out of 41 tries. That’s nuts.
-
There were so many things we could have done to not lose this game. And that’s super frustrating.
But again I would like to point out that the game changed when we went to a 4-1 with Enaruna at the 4. I think we need to start playing this way at the start of games, especially against teams like Nova.
Wishing Garrett a speedy recovery.

and that’s all it took along with some pressure Defense all over the court
-
@BShark So should the Duke game been a win. If you can’t perform when the chips are on the table, you LOSE!!
-
quit scheduling these bitches - -we can not beat these idiots so sick of losing to these guys - there is no way we should have lost. If we would have done ANYTHING in the 1st half of this game we would of been up 10-12 points - we just find ways to crap all over ourselves when we play these clowns
-
Freshman dont win in march
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich We need to shoot at least 35% from three or it doesn’t matter whether we play one big or two
-
@BeddieKU23 the freshmen werent the problem

this team tightens up just like a virgin butt when pressured - we found ALL KINDS of ways to lose - -pretty sad - - sad ball

Well, there was that Carmello game…ouch

@jayballer73 KU played awful and when a glue player goes down due to ankle, it doesn’t help. I watched Nova foul twice during those last few minutes. The black ref watched Gillespie reach in all game. Bey climbed backs all game and should’ve fouled out. The last play was a foul on Bey for the bump. Both refs, baseline and top of the key watched Dotson drive and Bey fouled him twice on that drive. Kinda hard to win on the road when you play like shit and the refs won’t make calls. We’re lucky we got what we did.

85 % free throw shooter yet can’t step up and make it when it counts
-
@jayballer73 Pretty much and your bigs can’t miss bunnies.

Geez, I hate Nova

there is no way in hell I’m blaming the Ref’s for this game - -we flat out FRICKEN lost it - -when we did go to the line we hit 4-10 - Seriously ? - -we turn it over 12 times - -we got bigs that can’t finish - no excuses - a loss is a loss is a loss
-
Nova didn’t win as the better team, they were lucky. They missed treys all game and I knew that Samuels was going to hit a trey.
-
@jayballer73 WE PLAYED LIKE SHIT
-
@Bwag Yeah in the Carmello game we were 12 for 30 from the line. So this choking goes back a long way.
-
Good road loss and maybe they will learn…maybe

I don’t hate them. I hate losing to them.
-
@truehawk93 We would have bricked the foul shots if they had called a foul. So what.
-
This was the typical KU not focused in the road game before Christmas break game. The opponent didn’t matter today. KU played flat like they typically do in this spot.
Most of KU’s issues today boiled down to lack of focus. The missed lay ups and free throws were simply a lack of focus on KU’s part.
The Garrett injury sucks because that will slow him down the rest of the season whenever he comes back just like last season.
-
On their home floor, we hold them to 35% from the field, 25% from 3, they only had 2 FT attempts, and we outrebounded them. Should have won this by 15…
-
@truehawk93 There is NEVER a good loss. No matter where it is played.
-
Ochai looked like a man. Tristan and Christian looked ready to take on a bigger role. Let Doke play the meaningful minutes in the 4-1 and Dave play the 4 in matchups where 2 bigs work. Otherwise, go 4-1. Assume the 4-1 is the answer in March and build the freshmen up for it.
-
I enjoyed our long stay at #1.
-
We don’t need to worry about #1. Baylor beat Butler, Arizona, and NOVA! We better start wondering about the Conference and how we will perform there. Right now I am not too confident.
-
So the two best teams KU has played they have lost. Time to temper expectations. Your best player has to step up and finish the game. Just disappointing
-
@BeddieKU23 the last 2 minutes is what separates Dotson from Frank Mason and Devonte
-
@rockchalkwyo To be fair he is only a SO. A shame we won’t get to see his JR season.
-
Anybody hear we had a player not check in the last time out? Self said he thought he could just walk in. I’m guessing he meant doke. Was listening on the radio. We get Marcus back, and it sounds like it’s not as serious as last time, we beat these guys. I don’t care if it’s at Christmas break or April fools day. I’ll still take Self over I don’t wanta be right.

@Crimsonorblue22 doke
