Lots of discussion in here about the lack of bench minutes in games. I think @Texas-Hawk-10 believed/believes our bench needs more PT. So do I. But I also understood why Self pushed his main 5 so hard… so they would gel into something special.
Hard to blame bench when they don’t get minutes to grow into roles.
I feel like we are peaking at the right time… Still some games to lift up even higher.
Still wish we would get more out of our bench. Not sure about Rice. I know injuries hampered him this year. He shows very short sparks of hope. He definitely has some strength behind him which has been shown when he fights opponents for the ball on rebounds and loose balls. But he still seems out of rhythm out there and I think he just needs more PT to establish his game.
Ernest is becoming a beast! His arms are long and his hands are quick and strong… and his mind sees things and anticipates. It wouldn’t surprise me if he saved us from a loss moving forward this year! Love how he changes the game when replacing KJ.
I think our guys now realize the way to change a game positively is to focus hardest on defense and then our defense will help our offense… specifically on run outs. Rebounding is important, too, and I just lump that into our defense because we don’t have defensive success without getting stops.
Heard some stats on Udeh - - - - in the 22 games Udeh has play he has 14 blocks ( which when you consider the first few games he played in wasn’t very many minutes ) - - -so 14 blocks is pretty good. - -Think about this I’ve heard both - -Heard Udeh has a 7’4 wingspan - -then I heard that he has a 7’2 wispan either way that’s monster wing span. They put in perspective today saying look at it this way Shaq is 7’2 - so his wingspan is as wide aas Suaq tall ---- crazy. - Then the other stat that is pretty dam good for a big man in his 22 games he has 17 steals is what they said - -crazy good

Even if Dick is not a lottery pick he will in all likelihood be a 1st rd selection. That=guaranteed contract.
The chances of getting hurt in his rookie year are irrelevant. Getting hurt as a KU soph could destroy his career. I hate it, but leaving is a no-brainer, especially with the NCAA trying to figure out how to take over the NIL crap. (We know the NCAA changing anything is always with the goal of maximizing their own revenues. Players’ NIL could be severely reduced pending time-consuming judicial decisions otherwise.)

What I’ve been trying to say.he is for sure 1st round - -think 1st ten picks are lottery right ? - -If it is - he will for sure be lottery. - If not and still 1st round pick then he has a guaranteed contract.
He takes that chance comes back for another year - like you say he gets hurt it very easily could ruin his NBA career his future, Why would you take that chance when you know you have a guaranteed contract , no matter how much you like College life- - just a no brainer, If he is a lottery pick or 1st round - -would lay anything that Coach would tell him to go - just like JO , Jo - - Jo , jo wanted to come back but Coach said no - -your not doing any good here talking about his career. - Grady is gonna do well in the NBA

@jayballer67 The lottery is every team that doesn’t make the playoffs so 14 teams are in the lottery.
-
After reading this thread it has become obvious for all our best interests we need Tonya Harding to Brandon Rush Gradey for us this off-season.

oh , ok - - so then I feel he for sure is lottery pick

Can’t believe that a league starting their Conference tourney this coming week. Sun Belt has their tourney next week - They talking they think Louisiana rajun Cajuns win their tourney
-
I sure hope Baylor plays as well today as they did against KU last weekend. The Baylor guards didn’t have the same energy in Manhattan.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 spot on my friend. If you are a projected first rounder and/or lottery pick it’s too risky to come back. I think this years class is down on talent and think Gradey could go in the lottery. I will support Gradey regardless of his decision, I feel like that is our job as fans. We don’t know his situation or what he wants.

Duke is looking better lately. They gonna make it in and could cause some problems for who ever. -They had a lot of injuries most the year - - healthier now - Whitehead - Lively ? -pretty good pair , Young is physical

This happened today without a foul called, replay review, nothing. And this is the guy that called Wisconsin scumbags. https://twitter.com/Evan_Flood/status/1629933068277383170?s=20
-
You can tell we are getting close to March Madness .Some really exciting games. That Wisconsin / Michigan game was really good game. -Dickinson huge shot to end regulation , the difficulty of the shot was crazy -first had to leap up to gt it almost stolen regroup one dribble and launch nothing but net - exciting game
-
@wissox If I was Gard, I would’ve gotten T’d up on that play for not making that call and I’d have been willing to get ejected.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah if I have a problem with Gard is that he doesn’t get fired up sometimes. Even knocking down Wahl there was a foul and it wasn’t called. Oh well another brutal loss in a long season for my other team.
-
@wissox tripper!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’m sorry, I’m trying to figure out what you mean?
-
@wissox from Duke, get it?
-
@wissox Not sure he actually stomped on him. Here is a still. His foot is going to the floor.
I think his lifting his knee before Wisc #2 gets in the way looks like he is preparing to stomp, but when #2 is gone the foot is not on the W guy. The flex may have been pulling it back to avoid him, which is why he ends up tripping.
