Kevin had a nice game too: 8/12 for 21 pts. Nice scoring by our starters and Dejuan doing just what he’s supposed to do to make this team rock.
-
It was really easy. I never bought the hype from a creampuff schedule.

@KirkIsMyHinrich decimal might be in the wrong place

@Crimsonorblue22 You know who hasn’t been here lately is the user I suspect is not actually a KU fan…

Next up: Indiana Hoosiers
Trayce Jackson-Davis will be a challenge for KJ

And he has several names he uses.

Last 2 games: KU 91 Seton Hall 67. KU 95 Missourah 67. This team is rounding into a darn good team.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Juan looks like an orchestra conductor out there telling everyone where to go and what to do.

Mizzou football coach Eli Drinkwitz was at the game and had a sign that said “five level one violations.”
What a chickenshit clown

Cam’s play today should kill any and all talk of him getting real playing time right? Right??

@KirkIsMyHinrich can you imagine a coach at KU doing that? So much class at Mizzou.

@BShark and it was way to early!

My birthday is tomorrow, a nice early present from KU hoops.

@BShark same as Juan’s! So what are you going to do?

KU cruised easily, but a couple issues to worry about for later in the season.
-
Self only trusts 7 guys on this roster, even in a blowout. Harris, Adams, McCullar, Dick, Wilson, Yesufu and Pettiford are the only guys Self is willing to give any run. We are vulnerable to injury or foul trouble because Self has set a tight seven man rotation. If we are healthy, we are fine, but if any of those 7 aren’t available, that’s trouble.
-
Lack of size is getting us beat up on the glass. Mizzou had 12 offensive boards. Irrelevant in a blowout, but without any size to go to off the bench, that is a continuing concern.
Great to blow out Mizzou (always). But KU has some things to sort out to prepare for March.

Come on now BShark , I think you might be going over board just a tad—and befoer people say I’m a Martin lover ummmm- – NO BUT , little harsh before a kid even hits the floor for the 1st time this season. The kid plays a grand total of TWO minuttes and probably ONE MINUTE of that was mop up time and yet your judging and say that those two minutes should decide whether he gets any quality minutes – I’m not saying he should either but just sayin TWO whole minutes and he should be band for the rest of the season lol. – Little harsh don’t ya think
-
@justanotherfan rebounding will absolutely plague this team going forward. Good team but has warts.
The 7 man rotation having basically no true bigs is something I never thought I’d see from Self. Not much posting up in general either.
-
@jayballer67 He was bad. I would bet almost anything he won’t be a factor for this team. If he could defend at all he could help but that is just not the case.
I’ll be happy to own up to this if I am wrong and there is a “Cam Martin game” so to speak.
-
I still think Udeh and rice, maybe Zuby will get better!

not really saying your wrong - -just saying that’s pretty good to get all that out of a 2 minute on the floor time

Yup, No. 1 above sure is bothersome. more Rice! today would have been a great game for him to get some run, in that free flowing offense at times. his specialty i’m guessing.
Cam had his chance, but Self got scared when they trimmed the lead a bit. He didn’t really get a chance to show us what he can or can’t do.

Odd take after a 29 point victory. So you think Self was "scared’? Really?

KU -3.5. Beat the spread by just a hair
Beat the spread with about 16:00 left in the first half. Never threatened again.
-
Today was exhibit A on why you don’t press a running team. KU destroyed Missouri’s press tonight. The way you beat Kansas is get back on defense, pack the paint, guard Dick, and force KU to play half court offense in a rock fight.

That was the point when Missouri got the lead under 15 and Cam had just given up an uncontested 3. He did not look like he belonged out there athletically. So I think Self was definitely a little nervous at that point because there was still more than enough for Missouri to come back with the momentum they had at that time. Bringing KJ and Harris back in is what stopped that run.

This was more that my opinion was formed based on what I’ve heard and seen over time. I have been on record thinking he was not going to contribute from the start of this season. Would be nice if he could though.

I’m actually thinking we may never find a regular 5 this season .So oh no I’m not saying Cam for sure. I’m beginning to wonder if Coach doesn’t use optional players for different situations. - -For sure using Kj for defensive purposes and lil scoring when feasible - -Zuby for rim and rebounding energy- - -Udeh for a lil score and rebounding and possibly for a few and I said a few minutes of Cam and Zach these two can stretch the floor – pull bigs out because of possible outside shots. - Could be he just continues to use ALL of them in small doses. - with that many playing for sure be aggressive on the defensive end - -lots of fouls to give- -who knows for sure.
Right now even with his size problem hard to keep KJ out the way he is playing

Had tickets to Bulls-Mavericks so recorded the KU game which of course I see the score while wandering the United Center. The Bulls game sucked because Luka sat out with a Wilt never would have sat for that injury called a strained quadricep, although it didn’t prevent him from playing til the end the night before against the Bucks. Even though the tickets were through my sons work, ie, free, I was still pretty pissed because i knew he wasn’t hurt. Boringest NBA game in history. Dallas played 0 defense and Bulls went off for 144 points.
As for the KU game maybe I’ll watch the recording, but don’t have a great desire to do so since I know the result. Glad we kicked the crap out of those lowlifes between two great states. We’ve bounced back nicely after the Tennessee loss.

You should watch. very high paced, exciting beat down. fun.

Juando cracks me up! Completely unfiltered honesty. Love it!!!

Didn’t want to bother with making a thread about this so I’ll put it here.
That Missouri team is one of the worst coached teams I have seen us play against this year. I only watched a bit of the end of their game against Wichita in addition to this so idk how indicative this has been for them overall but it felt like the Texas Southern game again only Missouri was somewhat more skilled but quite possibly less athletic. I went and looked, Gates had a 55.6 winning percentage at Cleveland State. Interesting hire.
-
Another thought is Kevin has been great the last two games. Was so smart to not bother playing him against Texas Southern.

Game changer. Has had 17, 18, and 21 in 3 of his past 4 games. Can get you 8-10 boards a night, is a theft in passing lanes. Perfect player for this team. Find the corners for open 3’s and cut to the basket for layups. Dude is trying to compete with Jalen for Alpha on this team and if you watch them two’s chemistry together it’s fun to watch

There was a lot of ridicule when he was hired because it didn’t feel like they improved their coaching situation. I said above, yesterday was amazing from a coaching perspective because Missouri did everything you shouldn’t do against this Kansas team. That was some of the worst game planning I’ve ever seen so I don’t know which coach did the scouting report for KU, but that person sucks at the aspect of their job.

A few weeks ago, our critics/fans were calling for McCullar to be benched in favor of MJ Rice.
-
Self mentioned KJ reminds him of a young Draymond. Hefty praise but should let ya know what potential he thinks is there.
-
He did have some rough stretches early. He is really ascending now. I’m very impressed with him and his fit here.
-
Oh, anybody hear why Isaiah Mosley didn’t play? I was really hoping to see him play, see why we passed on him.
