Gonzaga Game Thread
-
Zags are legit, so I’m not too worried as far as the season goes
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Take off your mask, he can’t hear you!
-
@BigBad Yeah, lots of new faces and guys in different roles. This team will take some time but Jalen and Bryce look better than I expected.
-
It appears exhibition games are important??

We will need Dave to improve and he will. I like a lot of other things regarding the team.
Maybe senior year he will be serviceable defensively. I’m not expecting it though which is why self signed 3 bigs
-
@KansasComet Every game is important to me.
-
About 50 turnovers later
-
Suggs is good.
-
It’d be nice to not Lose by 20 though
-
Suggs is also good at flopping.
-
-
@msanchez For team development.
-
@msanchez multi-talented

Totally agree. We obviously needed bigs for next year. Hell this year really… Missing Silvio after all.
-
This is unfortunately going to be a team that struggles to stay ranked
-
Suggs is a clear NBA guy.

This is also by far the best front court in the nation and the biggest reason why Gonzaga is #1.

Idk about this yet, this is against the far and away #1 team in the country. Let’s see what happens tomorrow and against Kentucky. It could be the case, but I am not sure yet.
-
Dave will have some good film on what not to do. Better it happens now.
-
Was surprised to see on ESPN last night that we’re supposed to be favored against Kentucky. Not so sure now.

Not enough fire power on this team and the defense is horrendous. This bunch is a yr away
-
Definitely the dog in that game now
-
Our coach is better at wearing a mask so I think that makes us the real winners.
-
@BeddieKU23 I’ve thought the offense has been good after the bad start. Room to improve as well.
-
This season is going to be one we can split into two phases. First, getting beaten up by ranked teams in the non-con and then second, the lights will come on and the season will be cancelled.
-
Takeaways from this game IMHO are: we’ve got potential to be a better offense team with a pretty good defense, can depend on contribution directly from our freshmen. I like the fact that we have shooters from many jumpers 2, 3 pts.
-
Gonzaga has a real shot at going undefeated this season. Baylor is going to be the biggest threat to Gonzaga going undefeated this season.

Yeah I see where this team could be okay on offense but the ceiling of the team looks very clear to me. Schedule is murder, no home court advantage. But above everything else Dave makes this team what it is. He isn’t good enough
-
Yep, Gonzaga is elite, that’s why I’m not melting down too much. Kinda saw this margin coming.
-
86 points is respectable.
-
We played one good quarter, tied it up then plated some dumb bball
-
Been a while since anyone hung 100 on us, uptempo or not.
-
Thanks everyone! Fun to watch & chat together! We’ll catch up again. Go Jayhawk!
-
Honestly Gonzaga looks like a very good team but last years KU squad would have ran laps on them. That’s the drop off from 2 elite players to what we have
-
Wanted to see more of Gethro
-
@msanchez later!
-
Everybody have a great Thanksgiving ! Stay safe.
-
The defense isn’t where it needs to be but the people discounting the Zags on twitter saying anyone would score on KU are nuts. Gonzaga has multiple pros.
-
Happy to have the Hawks back. Unhappy that my concerns of this team are real and not going away
-
@BeddieKU23 We will lose more than three games this year. Still think we have a chance to win the last one, though.
-
Washburn counts for stats this year, had to pull a Scott Drew due to COVID.

Yeah, this team will end up winning a lot of games. I had to close twitter, too many overreactions.
The good news is Bryce and Jalen look really good. Ochai was GREAT, 4th foul hurt a lot… Garrett was also great. CB needs to be better.
-
Well think it was pretty easy to see why we got beat today , It can be fixed for sure, and I know it will be addressed for sure. - - our Defense just killed us today , not sure how many time we were beaten for easy layups - - break downs. - -that was a reason I really think our main reason & then we had NO ANSWER for the Big’s which I was afraid of before the game.
McCormack once he got that 1st foul you might as well taken him out then as he just played like he was too afraid to pick the 2nd lay up after lay up against him.
I liked the fight , the way the guys came back- but just costly turnovers , no defense, getting beat back down the flor.
Wilson done some good things but he also hurt us at critical time too. - Things I think we will get better at were going to be all right - knew they would score quite a bit they love to score - - alot. - have to look at it as just one game - -I forgot we turn around and play again tomorrow - - time to go to work get these things ironed out now. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I agree BShark - -kind of hard to get to upset did see some good things , I am not really worried about scoring that much - looks like it is going to be spread out pretty nice. - -I think we get these turnovers and tighten this Defense we going to be there with alot of others.

Their Bigs are going to Score a lot on ANYBODY & Suggs is really good
-
@jayballer67 Definitely agree. We can fix the transition d. Will need to get more creative with the half court defense but Self never shows too much in early games against top tier teams. I think he sees them as games to see what the guys are made of. The boys are gonna need some coaching this year to lean on. Don’t have the talent to roll the ball out there and just play with the best teams. It’s why it’s nice to have a hall of fame coach on the sideline. We WILL improve.

There’s just a lack of talent on this squad. It’s been noted by several on Twitter who are not KU Homers. I’ll hope they can improve on turnovers and defense. I like parts of this team and will hope the weaknesses get serviceable. Happy turkey day!

Still, Bill Self teams don’t give up 100 points. And definitely not 70 of them in the paint.
The defense is going to be terrible.

Bingo giving up 100 doesn’t happen. Ever.

@Kcmatt7 We saw like two double teams and zero zone today. There wasn’t much of a defensive game plan. In crunch time there will be. It will be about how good this team can learn the systems rather than talent this year.
