KU/ Tenn , so what you think ? Game time
-
Talent is still the same as the decent team of the first 9 games or so this year, so I’m hoping we can figure something out and salvage the season.
-
the guys have just gotten to the point they have zero confidence their shot is going in, Braun has really fallen off Wilson just well - - Abaji 1-9 tonight.
Gonna be interesting Tuesday and if we win you really can’t put a lot into that even seeing how it’s K-State. - -bu t got to just take anything. Thank GOD it’s at the Phog cause right now the way this team is playing would be willing to bet if we played in Manhattan - good chance we get beat
-
Yeah, we need Braun Wilson and Ochai to end the season high on their shots, and we need to know if Harris and Dave are starters or not.
-
@bskeet said in KU/ Tenn , so what you think ? Game time:
I don’t think talent is that disparate. I really feel like the system (if there is one we are running) is not fit for the talent.
It’s not. We’re not a good shooting team. The strength of this offense is driving, but we don’t run sets designed to open up driving lanes.
-
There is time for one of those famous team meetings where the players reset themselves. The players are playing hard, but they need some intangible.
-
Wasn’t that enaruna?
-
Jalen hit the last three. Tristan the one before
-
Marcus passed to Jalens hands
-
Tristan had looked good lately.
-
Tenn has scored this many points just twice in their past 8 games…

couldn’t hurt- -still missing a leader
-
cut it to under 20
-
Not yet.
-
Well, that was our run, I guess.
-
One common thing with the way we have been going - -we dig ourselves such a huge hole from the get go - - just adds that much more pressure trying to come back. get’s to the point the guys get to thinking and it’s true you have to almost make every shot to crawl back and opposition has to miss makes it really hard
-
DeJuan Harris has to learn how to play defense. He commits way too many fouls because he plays defense with his hands instead of his feet.
-
@jayballer67 absolutely right. Started every game in recent memory down by at least 10 in the first 5 minutes
-

Our “runs” are like 3 or 4 buckets over a 5 minute stretch. But, even then, we’ve given up 6 or 7…

makes it rough
-
@DCHawker Still, it feels like a run kind of!
-
How bad would Gonzaga destroy this group if they played today?
-
When you get to the point where you’re seeing 50 million different lineups your chemistry is roadkill.
-
Playing two bigs!
-
Pretty hard to play 4 around 1 when you don’t have anyone who can hit a 3
-

Really 4, also have Wilson and Enaruna out there too.
-
Yay Wilson 3
-
Ah, remember back when we fantasized about the 5 guard lineup. Thos were the days
-

Turned out we really don’t have ANY guards…
-
Well ya think Maybe Jalen starting to come back just a teensie bit ? - -those shots could be big for him
-
Bet Bill says, we will never get outrebounded again this year.

Harris is a guard, just can’t shoot. Bryce needs to get stronger (and healthy obvs). But the #1 need this offseason is a guard.

Doubt it, this is just a bad rebounding team and was bad even when this team was playing well in December.
-
GETHRO TIME
-
I think this may be the best lineup we’ve got
-
I think that Mitch 3 would have banked in from straight away.
-
All right. Forget this month and get to work.
-
Well. The last 8 minutes (?) we played them even.
-
Flush it. Let’s go hunting Tuesday.
-
Welp…only lost by 19. Really came on strong the last 6 or 7 minutes
-
Yep. Forget this and move on. Rock chalk!
-
welp makes 4 out of 5 loss - -man things have got to get better
-
Seriously, how bad is gethro and Jossell? Can we play them 3-5 minutes a game?
-
@rockchalkwyo if Jossell can shoot at all, give him a few minutes and a green light.
-
We have JUST GOT to get Braun going - -just have to
-
Brought this up during the game so here it is: https://twitter.com/shot_quality/status/1355947111171424258?s=21
-
@benshawks08 so bum luck is following us?
-
Calling BS on this.

Remarkably similar to the Texas game. There’s a highly significant proportion of the shooting that’s been just dumb luck. Most nights Texas and Tennessee wouldn’t shoot 40% from 3 against air.
-
But the shots Tennessee made weren’t end of shot clock 30 footers so I’m just not buying luck. They were in rhythm shots with no hands in their face. They got 2nd chance points and killed KU on the board. At no point did KU’S defense force Tennessee to run bad offense.
So what if Texas and Tennessee had one of their best shooting games against KU. They are ranked teams with rosters full of 4 star and 5 star talent. We shot our wad against West Virginia and TCU and haven’t come close to the same offensive output in most other games.
KU’s average games are not going to beat good teams. KU’S bad games get them blown out the gym. They used to win a majority of the former and would have a chance with the others. Flawed team. Can’t shoot. Two of its 3 guys taking high volume shots are horrible offensive players and really don’t make the other 3 better around them. First year in forever guys are just not good enough
-
1 game according to Kenpom was a major swing. 4 & 5 spot movement.
Coming KU- #18, Tenn #19. Post- KU #22, Tenn #14.
