@jayballer67 you forget your own posts? Put the bottle down man
You said 9 ppg from Juan would cut it
I outlined how that only gets us 57 points in reality which ain’t winning many games this year against real competition
So your theory that 9 ppg Juan is enough I “outlined it” for you that the math doesn’t work. Dude has to score more

@jayballer67 how’s that work tonight against legit d1 competition?

@jayballer67 outline it.
Jalen 20 ppg
Kevin 12?
Gradey 12?
Juan 9
Kj -6?
Total:57
This D doesn’t have a doke so we can’t hang our hat on it
AND ? what the hell is your point exactly. - you telling me we have scoring machines on the bench - -if we do PLEASE let us know so we can relay to Bill
The point is we don’t and playing starters 35 minutes a night isn’t going to develop a bench either so when Wilson and/or Dick have an off night like tonight, KU is going to struggle to win games and will have to play low possession games in the 50’s which helps keep other teams in games and if they play well, lead to blow outs like tonight.

As much as this sucks it’s good for us

@kuballin10 if only there was some record that suggests Bill’s approach works

@Texas-Hawk-10 somebody coaches and gets it
See tonight against a real team and what happens those three guys are 7,11,7 - graphic just for you bud I texted my buddy at espn for ya
Haha Jank is in Self is waiving the white flag

@jayballer67 the reply when proven wrong - appreciate ya brother

Such a weird hill to die on. KU sucks on a KU fan board the year after they won a national championship.

@FarmerJayhawk 2 Natty’s
Plenty of choke jobs and bad lineups
That’s always been his problem holding D higher than O like it’s the 1990’s basketball
Nfl has adapted, nba as well. Easier to teach a scorer ti defend than a defender how to score

At least you make some logic. – I can’t deal with trolls.- - -Bobby hurt , Cuffe hurt - - Martin Hurt - - Cllemencce still hurting - -but we will be ok - - -everyone has bad nights
-
@jayballer67 he helped you interpret mine since you somehow couldn’t put 2 and 2 together
I didn’t include the bench because we don’t have one
Cuffe haha get out if you read this board you know he isn’t getting minutes
Martin the same
Bobby doesn’t even look to score
Tonight is more reflective of who we are this year. I mean if you didn’t see all those close calls against average teams and came away thinking we are a legitimate title contender - the red and blue glasses are glued on too tight
-
Well. I’m going to go eat pie and grade some papers.
It’s going to be okay everyone

@jayballer67 Cal is awful
Give me Jay Wright - his teams played aggressive on BOTH sides of the ball. He never quick hooked kids especially early and let them play through mistakes. He did more with less at a school that isn’t a top recruiter like the blue bloods
Jay Roy/Bill
That’d be the order

Harris scoring 9 ppg is where he should be as the 4th scorer on a this team amd don’t use the worst game of his career tonight as justification when Wilson was 13 below his average tonight and Dick 10 below his.
If Harris was the only player with a bad game tonight leading to this loss, then you’d have a point, but other than Yesufu, everyone else for KU played like shit tonight. Our starters were 10-37 from the field and 3-13 from 3.
We all know that something needs to happen with the bench to develop some more depth and scoring, but trying blame tonight on Harris is just plain ignoring everyone else that played like shit tonight too.

@jayballer67 erase it nah - Zuby will rebound he’s the best of the 4
Well not sure if you know or not but that 6’7 guy your talking about KJ is KU’s leading rebounder tonight - so ya lets take him out and put Zuby in. - -I know maybe Zuby gonna score more then KJ - -doubt it - sure Kj only has 4 points - but again leading rebounder this game and thats what we ARE talking about he has 7 rebounds and 4 points. -Right now it takes Zuby or Ernest 5 games to score 4 points. -& KJ much much better defensively then Ernst or Zuby is close to being. - -So really not sure what the hell your thinking is thinking we would be better with them in
All but 1 of KJ’s rebounds are offensive tonight. He has only 1 rebound on defense. And this is a big problem for KU because KJ is the worst defensive rebounding big Self has ever had. KU absolutely has to get one of the other post players going because KJ’s defensive rebounding is an issue that has to fixed at some point.
It wa the ENTIRE teams was an issue tonight - as bad as things were , they would of been a ot worse with 2nd and third chances if it was for KJ’s rebounding
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 it isn’t all Harris fault but if he’s the winner Bill says - winners take over when the other guys can’t score.
Good teams will slow Wilson and Gradey down as they can out athlete them. Kevin is the third scorer but if you know the game or watch he’s a defensive specialist and rebounder not some 15ppg guy.
Teams can matchup better with Wilson and Gradey and Juan must score more
-
@jayballer67 you listed Cuffe and Martin as if because we aren’t fully healthy those two bench warmers would have made a difference
Talk about a trip….come down from that high man. Surprised you didn’t list Jank too

Again, KJ only had 1 defensive rebound tonight. Tennessee grabbed 15 offensive rebounds to our 17 defensive rebounds tonight. It was basically 50/50 on who got the ball after a Tennessee miss tonight and KJ did nothing to help that because he got 1 defensive rebound tonight.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that and UT clogged the paint playing off everyone except Gradey so Wilson and Mccullar’s driving lanes were non existent
I said it will be a long night for Wilson and Gradey which means other guys have to score
Our scout is easy
Let Juan shoot as many times from deep as he wants
KJ - only scores on lobs
Kevin - let him shoot
Wilson - double him every time he drives
Gradey - whoever guards him does not help
Juan’s guy helps when Wilson drives or Kevin’s.

Gradey will hopefully be harder to slow down as the year goes on and he gets more comfortable with the offense and learns how to move without the ball better. I generally agree about Wilson because I’ve always said he was a below average athlete and is a slightly better version of Perry Ellis.
I also generally believe that unless the bench is developed, this team has a hallmarks of a Round of 32/Sweet 16 team.

Ok he got - -1, ummm what about the others? - - Wilson TWO defensive rebounds- - -Dick- -THREE defensive rebounds - -TWO other players that should be on the boards. - - When you get your ass pounded on the boards by 18 - -it’s a team beatin - -not one persons. On the offensive end if not for KJ’s rebounding for the chance of 2nd chances as GOD knows we needed every 2nd chance we could get - - if it was for KJ’s 6 offensive w would of really been screwed even worse as Wilson had TWO offensive rebounds & Dick had ONE - -So agree ya he needs to do more on defensive boards but the way I was always taught - there are five guys on the team - -you win sa a team - - you lose as a team there is NOT just one guy that ost you a game

I don’t disagree with that scout because I’ve said basically the same thing multiple times and you know that and why I’ve been big on getting Clemence going because his game is what helps everyone because he’s a big that stretches the floor and would open the lanes up for Wilson and McCullar to drive more.
-
@jayballer67 I agree with this win and lose as a team just more fun to analyze the why’s
Kj gets so many offensive long rebounds but is awful on the defensive it which I don’t understand

Don’t say that too loud you’ll be blocked and labeled not a fan for being realistic
I agree unless bigger bigs and mj get going we are an early out

KJ is 6-7 with short arms, that’s why he sucks at defensive rebounding. I’d be curious to know what his wingspan actually is because I’m guessing it’s probably about 77 inches which would mean KJ plays at about 6-5.

Not quite the exclamation mark of the UK loss last year but I’m sure it will work as a “toughening box” game.
Dajuan… get some sleep. You look like you’ve been up all night.
Was there a team curfew in the Bahamas? Appears not… lol

I’m used to it. I was one of the few that said KU would get run by USC a couple of years ago because they were a terrible match up for that team. This is going to be one of those years where we see KU play a lot of games in the 50’s and 60’s and have to play Badball to win.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I had us losing that game first time ever in my bracket I didn’t pick us to win it all.
Bad ball = some March wins but ultimately not title contenders
Big 12 appears stacked this year gonna be a long season and hopefully these guys improve
-
Bobby has a strained hammy
-
An average shooting night would’ve won this game easily. Glad to see joe get some positive minutes.
Not even sure if there are lessons from this game beyond rebound better and hit shots
-
We’ll be fine. We’re not remotely close to healthy. Juan, Zach, MJ, and Bobby are still getting back to 100%. I haven’t seen a team that’s very consistent so far. Let’s figure out who we are in the next couple weeks. I won’t lose sleep over this one.
-
Jeez. Just finished watching that ugliness on DVR.
The Volunteers simply were bigger, stronger, more aggressive and they outmuscled us.
(And they nailed some 3s)
Not much to add that hasn’t been argued to death above already.
As goes Jalen, so go the Jayhawks…
-
We looked tired and then tired and demoralized. Add in the loss of Juan and Bobby and, and, and, and. The sea lion looked tired and whoever was the color announcer in our game was (I can’t find an all encompassing word) but impressed me by over reacting for 40 minutes straight. Ugh. Come on monday!
-
Some people need additional hobbies, goodness.

Bobby P out weeks with hamstring strain. Nothing new for him here

Will be forced to play Joe or MJ now. Whew boy.
-
17-1 in our last 18 games. National champions. 81% winning percent. The recipe this year needs more time to bake. Around the end of Jan, the beginning of Feb, we’ll start to emerge as a real team. We’ll have defined roles. and rotations that work. We’ll start sharing the ball. A 5 man will emerge. They will figure it out. Remember, Bill doesn’t really have a floor- his floor is 20+ wins with a 4 seed in the tournament.
-
@Jethro Fire Bill clearly
-
-
@Jethro Bill wants a freshman big key word FRESHMAN big to emerge. He doesn’t want Kj at the 5 for all these minutes and him saying freshman means Zach isn’t looking at much opportunity if Bill has it his way.
Wish Zuby had some more run yesterday he can at least rebound
