Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread

@drgnslayr Gradey was certainly a more effective driver than we’ve seen from him up to this point. He was getting his shoulders passed guys and then attacking the rim. If he can develop that quick rip and go, it can only free up even more open threes for him.
-
Regarding certain users.
-
I don’t know if I remember a more Jekyll and Hyde team here. Just not sure who’s showing up
-
@BShark What does “paint touch off the bounce” mean? He mentions it in that article.
-
Didn’t read this whole game thread, but do we still have people questioning Juan??
-
Absolutely! If he can take the quick shot, or fake then drive to the paint, or fake and step back or side for scoring space on his shot… how the heck can he be defended? And last… If he can’t shake a defender, use fakes and go into the contact and draw the foul! He showed us a bit of all of this last night!
I’m impressed!

Someone got at least one foot into the paint by driving the ball.

This is correct. Ball movement last night was very good. Clearly a major sticking point for Self going in. Dajuan finally looked quick again too.
-
Obviously… Self really stuck a spur under our team’s saddle. Juan, Gradey, and Kevin all took it hard to the rack (and were rewarded!)
Almost makes me think… did he throttle JWil, our one player who always takes it to the rack?
Even our bench was more aggressive driving.
Makes me wonder… codependency? Everyone not named JWil took it easy before because they just expected JWil to do the driving?
Whatever was said in practice and pregame… I approve!
-
@benshawks08 @BShark Thanks, I kind of figured it was some sort of paint touch, but off the bounce perplexed me. It indeed was evident last night. Credit ISU with limiting our paint touches as well. That was as good a defense as we’ve seen quite a while.

I feel the same way about the message board. Sometimes the rotating insulters use the same phrases- it’s like they had “blinders” on. I don’t mean you, of course. I know you were pointing out Dejuan was a Div2 point guard because you love the team so much, and we all can’t be sunshine pumpers, can we? Dejuan did have 3 bad games in a row. It seems he must’ve read your comment because he looked great last night, didn’t he? Looks like you motivated him.
-
A peak into Self’s genius and reacting on the fly after a bad game. We got a layup on the first possession of the game from Juan and started the 2nd half with Juan getting fouled on a drive. The emphasis was there the entire game. Cool to see executed
-
Well, the big question:
Is this the rotation we can expect moving forward? Will Joe and MJ continue to get minutes where they can show results?
I’d be fine with most of that. We still need a guy who can get us into our offense when Dajuan is out. Joe had a good game, but he’s not that guy. Glad to see him have success on the offensive side of things for sure though. Is that a good trade off? we do need a guy who can make things happen with individual effort at times.
-
Coach explained in post game, they pressured us out and denied, that enabled us to get a shoulder by them and drive. They also denied Juan the ball, didn’t want him to run the O. I think Bilas said that.

I think the thought was that Kevin could be that guy with Bobby out. While joe is definitely not that guy, he can at least get buy his man and get to the hoop WITHOUT running offense so there’s that.
I made a comment in the game thread about someone being missing when we had back to back possessions where it got late in the shot clock with nothing going on offense. Those were the few minutes Juan was on the bench.

I said it during the game as well. Clear point of attack for them.

Texas Hawk disa agree with you about that Farmer
I did because it was a factually inaccurate statement. It seems like you don’t understand what the concept of controlling your own destiny means. There is a scenario, regardless of how small the chances of it actually happening are, where KU can win out and still not win even a share of the Big 12 title which means that KU does not control their own destiny in the Big 12 race.
i know exactly what it means but thank you for enlightening me

I can’t stop watching this clip. It’s going into my brain as memorable dunks in KU history. The others that are there. Selden against Baylor and Selden against Kentucky. Any number of Michael Vick alley oops. I know those are recent years, but those are the ones in there. I know BMac had some great ones, Doke had about a million, OChai and Braun could throw them down, but I’m having trouble remember specific ones.

WOW , thanks Jethro - -this troll on hee is a piece of work trying to figure out how I can block him on here I’m done messin with him. - - The only time he wants to comment is when he dogs Juan
-
Heathrow the great finder and exposer of trolls in this Jayhawk nation which is ironic because some think he’s a troll!
-
@wissox I didn’t know Mike Vick played for us
-
@wissox Heathrow??? Spellcheck is the absolute worst. Typed that on my phone, (I’m usually on my laptop). My phone thinks @Jethro should be spelled Heathrow!
-
@FarmerJayhawk Oh man mistakes galore from me tonight! LaGerald Vick!! The highflying human highlight reel. Sad he couldn’t finish with us strongly.
-
@wissox for sure. So many could’ve beens with that team. The original starting 5 was very very good.

@wissox said in Triage Hawks vs Fightin Rodney Terrys Game Thread:

Let’s face it… it was a thrill to see us score in the open court at the rim again! Remember early this year? Remember… this was going to be the fast-track team we always wanted. And now, for the most part, we are a half-court team once again.
This team can still get there. Score double digits every game off the open court. It starts with defense and defensive rebounding. Crashing the boards and pushing the pass up the court.
If we do this our offense numbers climb quickly and we are back on top being one of the top scoring teams in America.
-
What’s the common denominator in bench being productive vs TX.
Play fearlessly, not worried about getting yanked on a mistake, no one is on the bench.
-
Yes. And this will get tested again on Saturday because we will still be short.
Goal 1 accomplished… paint touches.
Time for goal 2… rim touches!
-
Didn’t get to watch the game so I’m watching highlights and I can’t stop watching that Gradey Dick juke, step back 3. Breaking ankles not once but twice. All made possible by his aggressive driving to the basket on previous possessions.

Also fwiw I would recommend not subscribing to the channel or liking the videos. Just bookmark the channel. Don’t want it to blow up.

Teddy Buckets! I think he was last at Nebraska. Not sure he finished.

Looking ahead to Saturday’s game:
Another 11AM start, on the road, on CBS.
Not a good recipe.
Damn.
-
@AsadZ I thought it was 12:00.
-
@AsadZ I honestly worry a lot less on the Saturday games when we played Monday. You are giving this team and staff more time to prepare. I’m usually not worried in the NCAA about the first game of the weekend, its the second game I do. Not sure Selfs records but I know he has a winning one in the dance in all rounds but the elite eight game. Obviously in the first round it’s 17-2
-
Just saw an interesting stat: we are 18-0 when DJ scores 10 or more points.
-
@StLJhawk him and Gradey being aggressive is the key for this team. We know Jwil will get up shots.

Saw this, and thot i’d share it:

It ain’t rocket science, huh. Other guys gotta score to get our point total beyond Jalens’s 20. I hope these secondary scorers finally realize it’s key to winning.
-
Self reports Zuby could be worked into practice today. Zach and Bobby remain day to day.
-
Zach was on the latest Hawk Talk, he acted like it wouldn’t be long. He was very uncomfortable, or I thought he was. He was breaking up the crumbs of chips or crackers that were from a pkg that were laying on the table. KT was there filling in for Self so I assume they were his, it just went from commercial to Zach sitting there. I’m sure it’s on espn+, maybe it’s just me. I just wanted him to stop, like a mom.
