KU/Tennessee Game Thread
-
Tennessee is a bad shooting team but we are also giving them wide open looks.
Honestly, the only thing that’s really pissed me off is the officials putting Harris on the bench with bad calls. That was also probably a delay of game on Tennessee to end the half.
-
McCuller forced some shots. JWill needs to drive and kick out. Gradey started getting active the last 8 minutes, keep him going. Get a rim protector.
-
The first half kind of looked like an actual battle for Atlantis
-
@Zabudda Kevin was open he just isn’t able to buy a bucket
-
Famous last words, but… I don’t think Tennessee will shoot nearly as well the second half, nor do I think KU will shoot nearly as poorly. Bill knows Barnes. KU by 2
-
I also think there’s some fatigue setting in with KU. Our starters have played a lot of minutes the last two days and lot of shots look like tired legs.
-
So, looking at the glass as half full… JW, Gradey, KJ and Juan are 3-19. Juan on the bench almost half of the half. Down 10 on the boards; JW with just 1. Shooting less than 30% from inside and outside the arc. Starters are gassed after playing too many minutes the past 2 days. And, down just 8. Not saying we are going to win, but this is winnable…

True and Very True - -Tennessee is only a 39 % Fg shooting team - -& a 29 % 3 pt % shooting team but like you say if we ever decided to guard might be different. - -17 turnovers and those kind of shooting numbers - - no excuses
-
Opening play is a screen to Kevin not Gradey for 3 - What are we doing Bill?
-
KJ!
-
KJ! Be aggressive. Foul some folks out!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I hate this excuse UT was in OT yesterday
There is no excuse
-
KJ is a strong ass kid
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich which is bad - wide open looks when we hang our hat on D
-
Double pump again/

That’s the problem with only having 3.5 players
-
Hang in the air KJ
-
Don’t look now but our leading scorer is Joe…
-
No box out. Again

Even with the OT, they still had a lot more bench minutes and their first game was a blowout so their starters didn’t play big minutes in that one. They are a fresher team, that’s a reality.
-
What an idiot
-
Kinda weak call?
-
On the KU broadcast they talking saying something must of happen to Kevin. - -Ran off the court and not even on the bench.- -
-
Is Bobby really hurt?
-
Zach as two guard if this keeps up.
-
@Zabudda It didn’t look good when he got hurt. Looked like a hammy or groin to me.

We are definitely feeling 3 games in 3 days. Very dead legs. No bench.

Doing the same thing he has all year. - -Grady not hittin the shot when he does shoot the three tonight
-
Joe is 4-7; everyone else 7-28… Juan isn’t playing for the next 10 minutes and with Bobby out, Joe is going to get big minutes. Probably not a winnable game at this point, so let’s get guys some experience…
-
Time to see what we are made off with no Juan
-
I believe
-
KJ is Doke Version 2
-
@DCHawker joe’s 1 game we need him to be decent at least he has been
He in self’s mind is a 2 but I think he could be molded into a 1
-

KJ is Doke Version 2
Just minus 5 inches and 50 pounds
-
Will he make a FT all year?
-
How about an MJ Rice breakout?
-
What happened to McCullar?
-
-
I miss making alley oops. Maybe MJ is the guy?
-
JOE
-
Yesss!!

He just can’t get on the floor it’s crazy.
-
MJ isn’t mentally or physically caught up yet
-
In the first 2 games, KU’s had 8 players go over 35 minutes in a game including Wilson, Dick, and Harris each game. Tennessee has had 3 player over 25 minutes in agame this tournament. Fresh legs matter and we’re seeing it tonight.
-
KU is just slow tonight.
-
I need some pumpkin pie
-
Rice got fouled
-
Lefty was 0-8 from 3 yesterday.
