@wissox83 The later start potentially helpful for west coast recruiting.
Not saying it's good... just saying it's not all bad.
-
Yeah im interested how that happened. He's a first round pick this yr so did Barnes not have a clue what he had? 6'5 with a 7'2 wingspan. Crazy leap
-
ISU loses at Cincy? Geez.. Interested to see if UCF's home mojo is real?

@Tallturd1 get her an electric blanket!

Well she's a really good cook and really good looking and I get cold too.

I kept mentioning how we haven't seen the complete DP. He looked at 100% in this game!
-
Maybe, but I don’t think he’s fully 100% yet. I think he’s more explosive than we’ve seen so far.

I agree he was closer. His on ball defense is pretty good. He has good hands and length and timing. His off ball defense could continue to improve and if we have any real aspirations this year it will need to. He’s pretty clearly the best offensive player self has ever had at Kansas and he may not yet be at 100% health. If he can continue to draw all the eyes and bodies, we have enough weapons offensively to be a pretty good team on that end. I imagine council and white will come back down to earth shooting the ball at some point. But even then they are still real threats to score whenever they touch it. As are flory and tiller. I’d love for Dawson to get some more run but not sure that quick lay up at the end of the game was selfs favorite play. I just finally watched the game and boy did he get the stare down on that one. Thought I saw him yell “time and score!!” Very angrily after that as pulling it out and taking a full possession was the clear right play for the situation.

Our trio of BT, TW and MC protected the ball, blocked some, stole some, assisted and played with energy at both ends BUT they shot 20% from the field at 5 for 25. They screened, ran the offense, hit their FT's and used good shot selection. Flory and DP's percentage of makes 22/27 was exceptional and we should have been in the mid 90's with mean Bill keeping the rotation tight. Our offense was around 75 PPG pre DP and 83 or so since his emergence. Our bench added 11 points on 50% shooting. We can see the coaching emphasis working and they see the dismal output and it's a real concern. Eighteen more points if the trio had hit their average in this game. DP is going to be tested harder as coaches devise special tactics and probably rough play will be used.

For DP to qualify for national awards and to have his stats ranked on individual lists he will need to play in 75% of his teams games. 18 games for the team would require 13.5 games played At 25 games played 18.5 games DP would be at 15 games. At 32 games 75% is 25 and that is where he would be.
