11 AM Start, Wed NC STATE
-
Another thing to note.
That ballroom they play in leads to poor outside shooting a lot of the time.
Wonder if that will impact both teams today

@BeddieKU23 I hope you are right!
The same way I was frustrated (and still am with Juan’s scoring) I can feel it shift to Kevin. Seeing Baylor Schierman, Hunter, Ricky council and Ramey all lighting it up this year sucks with regards to what we have.
Kevin’s defense is great but offensively we need that second/third scorer next to Jalen (since Gradey goes stretches without getting a touch or shot up).
Having a Hunter or Ramey would have been awesome - another ball handler that can flat out score.
Council is a 6-6 Ochai (no, not as good though) who can shoot, drive and catch lobs.
Baylor is your standard 6-6 not great defensively but makes up for it offensively kind of guy.
All that and we got in my opinion say the 4th out of 5 guys if you’d ranked them
-
I’m not dissatisfied or surprised by Juan’s 9 pts per game average. On offense his strengths are ball handling, setting up the offense and getting assists. Do we need a third penetrating guard after Jalon and Gradey? I hope Kevin will settle in and increase his points; I think that’s going to happen soon. And then, we all know the 5 spot is our mystery position. We’ll just have to wait and see who finally emerges as our best option at the 5. That will depend on which player gives us the best advantage on defense and then whether the same player helps on offense. Oh, this is going to be fun.

@Jethro anything can happen!
What’s your thoughts on it today?
I think your analysis was more wishful thinking than reality. NC State has some firepower with Joiner, and Smith can shoot them in and out of games. But they don’t play any defense, they can’t run outside of 2 players, and they’re sloppy with the ball. And their center looks like his health will be at risk if he tries to keep up with us. Vegas line opened at KU - 8.5, and the line has moved to -9. Bill steps in for the first time this year, so I imagine we’ll see a pretty intense effort on our part- not the sleepwalk we witnessed against Southern Utah that has you so concerned.
-
@BeddieKU23 I doubt it. $10 is kinda steep. I do have the game recorded so I can watch when I land if it’s worth watching.
Also I’m contractually obligated as a UNC student to say state bloooows. Worst fans I’ve ever been around were in Raleigh.
-
Let’s go boys
-
Boom!
-
Gardey is going to red and black shoes. Hopefully, the nasty pink ones are retired…lol.
-
HCBS has returned
-
Is he going to wear his glasses?
-
Slow start
-
Awful
-
Kevin nice take but you actually have to finish a layup dude
-
Kj got all our points what an athlete
-
Everyone other than KJ needs to practice lay-ups
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich the offense looks like it should against actual D1 athletes. We can’t score and our best shooter is yet to take a shot.
Playing a good team we should be down 8-10 already
@Jethro these will be our starts most times unless Jalen is hot

NC State is playing good defense, but we’ve also missed a few lay-ups and close jump shots. If we make those it frees up Gradey
-
McCullar looks like the version that we don’t want
-
We can’t run pick and roll against the most unathletic big I’ve ever seen
-
State avgs 89 pts so we need more Groovy 3’s.
-
@BeddieKU23 he should be in the doghouse but all Bill sees is 1 side of the floor
-
Yessss!!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich bill had to call set plays just to get him a shot
He needs to hunt his shot and attack
-
Bobby and Juan means it’s the Wilson and Gradey show
-
Bill gonna see Dick as bad D instead of what he’s done…come on William
-
JWill what a great basket.
-
-
Bobby sit
-
GRADEY
-
Wow
-
Jalen that was such weak crap. Hold onto the ball
-
Oh geez check this lineup
-
Guys learn a bounce pass unbelievable. Nc state has scouted the lobs
-
lol @ outofbounds call.
-
GRADEY
-
He needs more shots even….
-
MCCULLAR!
-
Wow Kevin finally
-
Kevin! Nice
-
@Jethro HE HAS to get going
He has to be a 10-12 ppg guy
-
RUNNNNN
-
I’d be okay with Gradey taking all KUs shots tonight.
-
Joe is terrible
-
get joe out of there…
-
-
We need MJ to get healthy
-
MJ athletic 6-5 Rice should get some minutes
How about Zuby Bill to pull a board. KJ ain’t doing that
-
Oh lord, who are these guys in white uniforms. TOs everywhere. Oh lordy, lordy.
-
The turnovers from the guards are most concerning. Beyond sloppy
