Chalk this one up to our defense.
And our offense…
-
@wissox Instead of a postgame interview, we get a breakdown of what’s wrong with Indiana and almost nothing about us. Sheesh…
-
21 bench points today which is good.
-
@nwhawkfan needed to talk about how you can’t play off the shooters because Juan can get the ball to anyone on the court whenever he wants.

Bench big got to play with Juan. Bobby remembered he can drive and score.
-
@Zabudda six guys in double figures and one other with a basket away.I’m gonna say that theoffense might have contributed a little bit
-
Onward to the rest of the Xmas cards.
Haahvahd next.
RCJH !!!
-
Kevin!! really hit the boards! Him and Juan had dble dbles! A lot of 11’s today. Love sharing the ball, team play!
-
17 steals is 5 shy of the school record I just learned. Had 22 against Marquette in 1990.
-
They just compared Juan to Mahomes on his passes. Nice take.
-
Dajuan sat out much of the first half with 2 fouls aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ended the game with just 2 fouls. But, it was a good opportunity for Bobby to get some minutes.

The early Roy days were a treat. They just flat ran the whole game, played the passing lanes, and would just bury teams.

I’m watching Virginia/Houston and I think we’re better than both of them.

Nice to see - -that’s what we need loved it
-
If we can get 15-25 good minutes from Bobby and 15 or so from freshmen bigs we will be solid. Yesefu and Rice can be wildcard 8th men that can go for 20 if they are hot.
-
What a luxury to have two McDonald’s all Americans that can’t find the floor. I know we’d like more from them but importantly THEY know we need more from them if they want to even play.
-
Mercy watching play this way holy cow just makes you wonder - -how good can this team be. - -I mean dang KJ is doing well the only thing holding him back if anything is his height. - -Really Good Defense – - can defend - -scoring some for us I think he is coming along with that well
Some of those passes Juan made today - - MERCY magical dam sweet… - - Zuby had 8 points today big bonus.- National media talking about how quick we are and relentless on the defensive end.
Seth saying we have THE BEST Wings in the Nation. - -gives me hope for another deep run
-
@jayballer67 really Gradey being so much more than just a shooter makes us so good. He’s taking on both Och’s shooter role and Braun’s dunker energy guy role all in one player.

The 3 was unnecessary but I guess Cam has not seen the floor much during his time here so I can see why he made the shot.

He told Self that Johnson broke his foot.
-
Amazing how our 5-spot looks so good now that we are getting into a real offense. And for every play we run that finishes with a KJ dunk… he just gets that much more pumped up and kickin’ arse!
Yes… we look fast and a big part of that is fast ball movement!
This team learns fast and the sky is the limit this year with this team! Might end up being even better than last year’s team! Might…

That sucks I’m sorry to hear that. I was reading an IU board just now to confirm that information and surprised at how many IU fans want to get rid of Mike Woodson already

Depth is still an issue as we basically only went 7 deep in a game that wasn’t particularly close. Especially when the announcers were talking about Self developing the depth on the bench a bit and to not see it happen in a game that wasn’t particularly close is concerning. Rice should’ve played some more today, especially with Wilson struggling with his shooting today and it would’ve been nice to see Yesufu get some more minutes today as well. It looks like the back up 5 spot is still going to be by committee based on match ups.
This would be my one gripe from the game today as this was KU’s most complete game so far this season.

Actually I think we might play faster too. Plus this defense when it gets going can and just might get really nasty. - Kevin has become such a great fit on the defensive end and rebounding

Bobby and Zuby got a bunch of minutes today. 21 bench pts is a big improvement.
-
I thought McCullar looked really good today. He had a quiet Double/Double with 5 steals. Just kinda hiding in the background but he’s been an excellent addition.

That’s my point, Self only went 7 deep in a blowout game after he talked about needing to use more guys and having a perfect opportunity to get Rice some decent minutes in a game where Jalen Wilson struggled. Outside of the first few minutes of the second half, this game was basically never within 15 points, so why didn’t Rice and Yesufu get some minutes today? Only going 7 deep is going to catch up to KU later this season.

Keep attending. Maybe we can all chip in to see if we win by more if you sit closer to the floor.
And also so that you can relay suggestions from Buckets to Bill by yelling really loudly. He clearly needs our help.
-
Six point nine is a winner for sure.
-
And this thread,
-
Thank you @BShark. Could you and your wife maybe get behind the basket and do the flash and/or moon like Arkansas did to UK last year.
-
Wow, that was a helluva balanced performance by the Jayhawks today. Very impressive.
Juan with the show boat assist! Making me eat my words. nice.
One complaint (sorry): Cmon, Bill. Play the bench more. We’re gonna need some of these guys at some point. I know 7 guys got 10+ minutes, but we need to season some of these players. We had plenty of margin to give them some run.

The circle of trust is not very big. I’m not even sure Joe is in it. Seems like the post situation will vary based on the opponent.

We needed to build the lead up as much as possible, and beat them as badly as we could. Our next 3 games should give us ample opportunity to expand our bench.
-
I’d argue 12 minutes for zuby all in extended runs with no quick hook is better than 6 for zuby and 6 for Udeh. Udeh got a lot of run early in the season and I imagine his time will come again.
But I like the idea of giving guys a good full run. Only thing keeping zuby from more minutes today was his own conditioning.
With the 5 posisiton what it is right now, KJ still needs as much time as possible to gel with the other four on the floor.
It’s easy to forget that 3 of the starters weren’t contributing to this team at all last year so them getting rolling and gelling with each other is as valuable if not more so than bench minutes for the second teamers.

For sure seems like the trust circle is not big.
Look at KJ’s confidence now. All comes from his time on the floor (well, practice helps too).
Put me in, coach!

Lol. Watch out they might be sneaking up on you.

That lead was built up as it was over 15 most of the game. There wasn’t a great reason to not give Rice some extended minutes today against a quality opponent, especially with Jalen struggling like he did today. And I’m going to disagree about the next three games being ample opportunity to play the bench more because there’s only 1 more non-confernce game left before B12 play starts and OSU might be the worst team in the league, but how often do we see KU truly blow out and dominate B12 teams? Not as frequently as we’d like because of the familiarity these teams and coaches have with one another. And that 3rd game is a road game against a Texas Tech team that doesn’t have a bad loss this year and is probably going to be in the NCAA Tournament. So I don’t see KU getting to expand the bench much over the next 3 games, maybe Harvard, but I’m betting on it happening with OSU or Tech though.
-
@BShark can you tell me what the Liberty Bell guy did with Lance and our fb team at half time?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Maybe your sentence beginning “There wasn’t a great reason to not give Rice some extended minutes…” needs “that we know of” added to it. I know you know that Bill does a lot of decision making based on his perception of how well people have earned PT. Maybe some lack of effort in practice?
I have not been impressed by MJ in the limited amount I have seen. He hasn’t struck me as motivated, but that could be his injury.*
*edited from “energy.” Damned speech recognition.
-
@mayjay You tagged the wrong person here.
-
I hear what you are saying… I think Self’s strategy is to iron out a really tough starting 5 before expanding much bench time.
All our guys had fresh legs today and it was important to run our starters for much of the 40.
KJ is now our big that has the most experience and I feel sure he is plugged into all our practice offense with the starting 5.
In just a few games we are seeing how much more he is contributing… and it isn’t that his personal skills have improved, but he is plugged into an offense. He now knows what he is supposed to do.
In most areas now, KJ is setting the expectation standard for the other bigs to learn from.
Just my opinion. I’m sure Self has his reasons!
-
I question more why MJ isn’t playing more.
Maybe he’s having a struggle keeping up in practice. He is still relatively new on the floor. Maybe he’s still not quite up to speed. Self mentioned he needs more PT!
