caught just close to the very end of that game and Tennessee was like 5-37 or right around there from the 3 - -holy smokes

Wilson made one. Then missed another badly. Where did his shot goā¦
he just hasnāt had it yet. There is gonna come a time where we need this guy. He canāt go all season like this can he ?
-
All right. Rock chalk. Iāll be out in the shed sharpening the pitchfork for Saturdayās game.
-
Got to sharpen up our shooting too. 53 percent from the field tonight, but a lot of those were dunks.
Till Saturdayā¦
-
whatās the feel on Remy ? - - Zero points - - 2 assists - - 2 rebounds ā still pressing to fit Billās system ?

Yeah, not a great performance from 3 but had good looks. Funny how it works, one of Ochaiās that went in was tightly contested.

Agbaji was 9/12, UPS was 9/13. Remy serves this team better by being a facilitator, the way James Akinjo is for Baylor. If he wants to take over as a scorer during crunch time Iām all for it, but most of the time Iād rather he be a point guard. He only took 4 shots, had 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 turnover. I thought he threw some good over-the-top passes tonight, and if Doke was our center instead of Dave or Mitch he probably would have had like 8 assists instead of 2. I thought Remy played fine. He could have knocked down some 3ās, but he played fine.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Uh, sorry, but Iām not following. We have what can Braun do for you, but who is UPS?
-
Ups motto is what can brown do for you
-
@wissox ups, the brown delivery trucks
-
Nice win. Gueldner displeased, saying it wasnāt impressive. First half was good. Second half seemed sloppier, but same number of turnovers I think. Sounds like Dave turned his ankle. Hopefully not serious. A few Things weāve learned: ā somewhat shockingly that Och and Braun (the shock) will lead the team in scoring. Honestly surprised at Remyās role. ā Wilson has lost something, and canāt find whatever it was. ā KJ remains bouncy!
-
Starters got worn out during a long stretch with no dead balls in the first. And then momentum was lost.
I thought a game with normal stoppages would have done us a favor. Looked like our guys got tired and out of rhythm. Being up 27, they probably lost some motivation too.
Hate that they had this game at Sprint Center. Hard to believe they canāt find a better program to play that game. Stands were maybe a little more than half full.
-
Yeah I didnāt realize it was in KC until midday yesterday and immediately thought that was poor scheduling. Playing UTEP in KC on a Tuesday. Not the brightest of moments. This should have been a home game period.
-
Christian Braun averaging close to 17ppg now. His improvement has been extraordinary if you ask me. Completely different player and playing with so much confidence right now. Heās fun to watch
-
@BeddieKU23 the way that heās playing weāll soon have to ask, will he back for his senior season?
-
If this 5 game stretch where heās averaged 20 a game continues then heās going to rise up boards and get attention. Still heās a local and having the chance to be the āguyā next year could be appealing as it was for Agbaji this year. No doubt heās going to go through the process the way heās playing. Hard work paying off

Heās been a stud. I canāt believe I was wanting him to be the 6th man. Good thing Iām not a coach!
-
@rockchalkwyo I definitely underestimated him as wellā¦ Assumed he would just be the same guy as year ago. He is most certainly not.
-
Under, and over, estimating players preseason (and after just a few early games) is a time-honored tradition among Board Rats!

Right there with ya. Thought he would be best coming off the bench and early he didnāt do anything on the court to change that thought. But heās been terrific and I was wrong, as I usually am
-
@mayjay If we donāt have that what is the point of even having the board??? Jumping to conclusions against D2 competition and a 30 minute scrimmage where no plays are ran is one of the pillars this board was built upon.
-
CB did revisit his old days a few times the 2nd half. He hesitated on the wide open corner 3, drove and got stuck. Self mentioned that in post game. Canāt let that come back!
-
Most of the team visited some bad habits in the 2nd half LOL
-
CB is a driver first, shooter as a byproduct of guys leaving him open. Thatās been his game, including high school.
-
Holy crap, just looking at the box score and realizing that there was a total of THREE points scored between Remy, Yesu and Wilson. That is insane.

You got it, he likes to drive to the inside and make things happen. Then when in the flow of the game he shoots the 3. Iāve been impressed with how he attacks from both sides, and his improved power and ballhandling.

And not good. They need to do better.

Took him 3 years but he finally figured it out.
