This is as bad as I’ve seen Nova and we still lost to them. Sad.
That was the road game before Christmas break, KU historically sucks in that game under Self.

North Carolina with a choke job of epic proportions

Bad shots early in the shot clock, missed FTs (some barely getting to the rim) and matador defense in the last 4 minutes…

@Texas-Hawk-10 except we played well till dot
the bed.
-
Oh and the last 4 seconds happened

Dot
his pantsForgot about that, tried to block it out

Baylor is unreal lucky
-
Vital is so sneaky, and they flop a lot. We use to piss him off and he lost focus!
-
Cole Anthony not hi bbiq
-
Well, that made me look foolish
-
I thought he needed to run clock
-
That Baylor-OSU game was one of the most poorly officiated games I’ve ever seen.
-
Hurt, zero pts
-
Call sucks
-
Out of bounds
-
On the sideline?
-
Ya Ted Valentine missed that call. It should have been a foul on Duke.
Even Baylor fans are saying Oklahoma St got jobbed by the officials. Yikes

Okie State got hosed in those last minutes. As you know that was not any 8 point game , not even a four point game. – I don’t blame Boyton AT ALL

Which call? They called an offensive foul on likekelia making a basket and nobody knows what they called besides getting it wrong
-
How they miss the foul call on Moore that gave them possession is one of those calls only a Duke gets
-
Boyton handled it better than most coaches. He even shook the Baylor team and coaches hands on his way out. The problem I have is that if we win ether of those games in that fashion it would be on ESPNs home page like it has in the past with us. This not a chance, they don’t have the balls to ever question a Dook game. They won’t with Baylor because it wasn’t us and no one cares about basketball in Texas.

How many threes will this kid hit against us in the tournament as a RS JR for Nova?
-
@BShark zero!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I was thinking eight and Jay wins again.
-
@BShark you doomsday dude!
-
Bill needs to call Jay for tips with this year’s roster.
-
-
This team does not have the DNA for a typical Self offense. Need to scrap the screen game because Mitch and Dave suck at it. Drive and kick. Minimize dumping it into Dave. Spray threes.
Bill is smart, excited to see the post Christmas offense.

I was told we don’t want to go Rockets/Warriors small ball because it doesn’t win

I see someone likes twisting what other people say to fit their narrative instead of using statements in context.
I never mentioned the Warriors because they never played a 5 guard line up. They always had a post player whether it was Andrew Bogut, Javale McGee, Kevon Looney, or Boogie Cousins.
And guess what, the Rockets small ball experiment failed because they got ran off the court when they ran into a team with a legit front court.
A 5 guard line up can win games, but it doesn’t win championships. KU will not win a national title with Jalen Wilson at the 5.
-
I think it’s pretty clear this team isn’t winning a title, they might be a second weekend team though. Next year could be really promising.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I didn’t twist anything.
And this team isn’t winning a title with Dave at the 5 either lmao
-
Also the Warriors played small ball lol.
-
Rockets only lost when the lakers switched to small ball and stopped playing davis at the 4. They got worked when they played Howard and McGee. Lakers were just better at small ball lol… this team can absolutely win playing small. They have several 6”5-6”8 guards. No reason to think you need a big guy. Sure there will be a game that Dave or Mitch will help but the best team ku has is playing small

Rockets got their ass kicked by Anthony Davis because they didn’t have anyone big enough to guard him. That’s the damn point is that Rockets got their asses handed to them once they ran into a legit big man in Anthony Davis. None of the Lakers wins were competitive at all and even in the one game the Rockets won in that series, Davis still dominated the paint.
Don’t come at me trying to claim the Lakers played small ball against the Rockets when Anthony Davis played more minutes than anyone for LA in that series because the Rockets couldn’t stop him with anyone on their roster.
-
Literally nobody stopped AD all year though
. Small or big. He’s a top 5 player in the world rn. It had nothing to do with strategy.

It had nothing to do with strategy.Actually that was their strategy because the Lakers played through AD instead of LeBron James that entire series except for game 1. But if you think AD is a better player than LeBron and that the Lakers played through AD instead LeBron all year, I can’t do much for you on that one. That was their game plan because the Rockets literally had nobody to match up with Davis unlike LeBron and the Lakers exploited the hell out of that strategy to run the Rockets off the court in games 2-5.

@Texas-Hawk-10 pick any 5 in the NBA, put them on the Rockets, and the Lakers are still the NBA champs

No shit, how many times have I told you specifically that the Rockets system would never win a championship? And guess what, it got Mike D’Antoni fired because his system cannot beat elite teams. He’s proved it in Phoenix with Nash and Stoudemire by failing to beat Kobe, he proved in New York where the Knicks were an absolute shitshow and he proved it in Houston with Harden and Paul/Westbrook that even with elite players, his system doesn’t win championships.
It also doesn’t change that LA played through AD instead of LeBron against the Rockets because the Rockets didn’t have anybody capable of slowing him down unlike LeBron.
-
@Kcmatt7 And now I’m supposed to think that copying that system is going to be what puts KU over the top?!?! GTFO with that shit take. KU’s only shot this year is to to working to develop Dave so there’s an post presence.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Do I wish we had a formidable front court?
Absolutely. “No shit”
Do we? Nope.
So run and gun small ball is how this team will perform the best this year. It isn’t that hard to see.
That isn’t a “shit take” it is just a regular one.
The Warriors have won it all with small ball being an integral part of their strategy. As has Villanova.
Yes, Dave will need to put in 15-20 minutes a game for this team to be successful.
If KU loses in the tourney because they run into a good front court it won’t be because KU played small. It will be because KU lacked the talent/depth to play big.
There is a difference.
