Game Chat Tues. 1/6 8:00 CT:Is there a need to move Bryson to bench and start jamari, sliding white to the 4?
If Tiller doesn't show he can hang in conference play then yes
Yea a few more games to see if he can do it. If not you play a true 4 out and he’s just the backup 5. Which I’m good with

Game Chat Tues. 1/6 8:00 CT:When we were losing with about 5 minutes Brian Hanni was mentioning KU fans were heading for the exits. Take away their season tickets!! Give them to deserving students!
I’ve never left a game early because it’s costs too much to do that. But I don’t blame them, this team just hung out for 30 minutes in a game that was 45. Like I said it’s too expensive to pay and watch a team give that little of effort.

Tiller played better than Flory all but the last 5 minutes and over time. I’d bench them both to send a message.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 but i like winning
-
@approxinfinity you don’t have to bench the for the whole game. Start Mari and Mbyia, see how it goes for a few minutes. I feel Bill has gone soft on these guys nowadays, he probably has too but you don’t see him light into guys like he used to that’s forsure.
-
I’ll say this with Mbyia size and physicality, we prob don’t get down by 14 if he plays Florys minutes the first 35 minutes of the game. Flory literally did next to nothing for 31 of his 41 minutes.
-
@wissox83 ya right that wouldn't happen and there were ALOT of other people including on here thought we were cooked so actually so the ones at the game were no different then people here. Me included I apologize for some things I said in the game and apologize for it It is what happens when your a fan and you KNOW that this team should never be in this position. With them coming back like this just shows what they are capable of when they play Great win and like what has been mentioned this just migh turn this team around some - - -- just proves what they CAN do but they sleep walked through 3/4 of this game and not of ever been in this position in the first place,
Like I said I apologize for things said just a guy that gets wrapped up in the game and knows this team is better then that and it showed in the come back but not sorry for what was said at the time.
-
@ROCKCHALK2025 ain’t nothing to apologize for, these guys get paid to play basketball and they didn’t for much of the night.
-
@DanR Melvin might be a more important player to the team's success than DP.
-
The core of this team seems to be Tre, DP and MCJr. I want Flory to be a core guy, but they just haven't managed to make the offense go through him effectively. It's a very different looking Bill Self team, the way things are right now. We used to be so dominant in the post -- Kuan, Withey, T-Rob, Lucas, Azibuke, McCormack... But it hasn't come to fruition yet with Bidunga and Tiller.
Good news: There's still time.
-
I was at the big comeback game vs WV. Bandwagon fans left early, some heard outside we were coming back and came back in. Dtae was hot! I can’t remember if it was the game Huggie was ejected.
-
I'm giving TCU credit for hitting three big threes near the end to stay in touch and we found out what staying in touch can mean. Ice cold Darryn, Ice cold Melvin and Ice cold Jamari.
-
In 53 min playing time, KU bench only took 3 shots and scored 5 pts. OUCH Bill. Overall, 7 bench pts, with 7 fouls to match. Flory needs to shoot more! 6/7 in 41 min. Oh and only 9 rbs, but both teams shot about 50%.
-
First I would like to say there was a tie in my verbal reactions they were Shut Up Fran and Shut the Eff up Fran. I wonder if Melvin and Tre showed this much passion and joy elsewhere?
-
Just double checking that we won and it wasn’t a dream haha
-
We certainly get a little wild with our player analysis it seems. Melvin is a backup… Elmarko should start… Flory is an average player… DP is a hypochondriac. DP is going to shut it down… Tiller is a better big than Flory.
And we get proven wrong as the body of evidence grows and show us better what our mean expectations should be.
Flory did seem ineffective for the majority of regulation. Whether it was the flow of the game or wires crossed with whatever gameplan or motivation we had to start the contest, I am not sure. Seemed like it took him a while to adjust to not being the focal point of the offense. We also tried to force it down low a couple times with errant passes. Flory certainly made up for it down the stretch. Once he started attacking the glass the offense came. I think those two numbers for him (rebounds and shots) will be tightly coupled going forward as long as DP plays and bryson needs to get used to that reality too. Eat some glass fellas! The opportunities will come but it starts with solid rebounding.
-
Here are the takeaways.
Positives:
-
It was nice to be on the other side of an epic meltdown after the Houston and Baylor "games" last year.
-
DP played 32 minutes.
-
DP was clutch at the end of regulation.
-
We showed that, when we play with heart, we can be a very good team (though I guess we already knew that).
Negatives:
-
This result was more of a TCU choke than a KU victory, though there were elements of both
-
We played with absolutely no effort for an unacceptably long time
-
DP is still cramping
-
-
-
@approxinfinity Who said Elmarko should start and are they legally blind hahah. Tiller was better for much of the game which is crazy because Flory is obviously the much better player when he in engaged.
-
I don't think Elmarko should be the full time starter but starting him over Tiller for a game or two might be the wakeup call Tiller needs
