The one thing that stands out once again, Arkansas is significantly more athletic and quicker then KU.
-
@BeddieKU23 doesn’t help that two really good athletes are out
-
With KJ as our go to man on offense is what it is in this game.
-
Not impressed with Mayo at all
-
Flory Bidunga on the other hand, I’m pretty happy about
-
We have played them even since i started watching
-
shooting percentage grossly favors Arkansas at this point
-
Geez wrong thread I guess
They are athletic and long We aren’t
They can beat their man off the dribble We can’t
Pretty easy to see which team is completely controlling the game and getting better shots
-
Sorry wasnt sure which thread we were using @kuballin10
-
This one works for me - don’t care who starts it just long as people are making their observations!

Is there another thread?
-
If we were up 12 there’d be no talk about “vanilla” @FarmerJayhawk
-
@kuballin10 we always run vanilla stuff in games that don’t count lmao
-
Pretty disappointed with our three transfer guards at this point though
-
We arent happy with Coit?
-
Looks gun shy tonight
-
Flory will kill Brazille
-
@approxinfinity 4, 5, and 6. Passmore, Mayo and Griffen. Coit looks like he paid attention in practice at least
-
Wow that doesnt happen to Juan often. Got him.
-
Not Juando’s best night either, but no one looks like they are trying too hard
-
Arkansas fans need to save some of their uneducated outrage for the SEC season
-
@DanR He was bad last year
Decent the year before
Then bad the other years……eventually people will see without rose colored glasses
He’s bill’s guy so watch him lead
-
Bland has been best man so far.
-
Little disappointed KU couldn’t muster up a tad more effort. Looks like they’re just taking a flop at this point.
-
Plenty of time though.
-
Kease has good size.
-
Like Kease and Flory
-
Frosh Passmore doing OK too
-
Love that! Kease and Bidunga want it
-
Passmore has a little Paul Pierce vibe, IMO. Banger.
-
We calling him Kease? Easier to type!
-
Zach finally called for a travel after 5 travels
-
what are we, about 4 of 16 from three?
-
Self has the rare ability to take an all big 10 guy completely neuter him
If you want to recruit in the portal might want to not think you have 4 years to break them down and build them back up
Arkansas offense is simple to run meanwhile ours somehow is complicated yet it’s the weave from 25 feet from the bucket and a pick n roll on the wing
If we think adding a backup pg playing 10 mins
A 6th man wing who can’t defend and isn’t athletic
A big man who can score but can’t defend
And think we are the number 1 team…your insane
Without remy we’d be looking at 6 straight second round losses
The basketball philosophy is outdated by a mile
-
@DanR yeah our defense is shit but at least we are putting the effort in. Feel like d will get better. The story has been crappy shooting. Please oh please dont be a bunch of transfers that cant shoot.

Haven’t run any offensive sets. Just mostly random dribble penetration. Transfers have no clue, but the two freshmen look really good and seem to have good instincts to be in the right places even in the offensive chaos
-
Jeez. Back to back crappy turnovers. Protect the rock!
-
Arkansas just stripping dribble handoffs from kj to juan and kj to coit
Haven’t seen the hogs run 1 dribble handoff all night
May that trash is done for a reason in legit basketball circles
-
Fun to see the new guys! Hope we can keep the main dudes healthy.
-
Add hunter’s 25 points and it’s a W!
-
Big picture, mostly mission accomplished. Nobody got hurt first and foremost. Young guys got some run. Like I said earlier, this is like an NFL preseason game. Except our 2s and 3s mostly played their 1s.
-
Well that certainly wasn’t inspiring!
Please god make Arkansas by far the most athletic team in the country. If not our guys looked like cardboard cutouts.
Back to KU football season…
-
Oh, and I have a gut feeling that I already hate Storr and his attitude.
-
I know our offense is designed for different players (like a big guy at the 5) but this was an opportunity for guys to show they can move the ball, maybe go get a bucket when needed… and certainly hit some jumpers… We didn’t do much of that.
Also, the issues with D had little to do with missing pieces in the lineup, to this untrained eye. We got torched from the outside by a true freshmen…
-
Rakease Passmore truthers rise up
-
give him the Kease, Please.
-
Well, that was underwhelming. Uglier than the NFL preseason.

Needs to play. Lots to like, effort and showed some aggressiveness which cannot be said for many that were out there last night.

Felt like a preseason game honestly.
My only real takeaways: Zach and Jamari are not P4 players, you can’t play KJ next to Flory so with Hunt back it needs to be like a line change in hockey where we have a guard at the 4 when Flory is giving Hunt a breather.
-
I’m going to dissent with most here and praise Dajuan l. He was our best player. He had 26 points on 11-17 shooting. He couldnt guard Boogie, but who can? Our wings were a dumpster fire. Our defense across the board, including Dajuan, was not good, but saw an encouraging amount of effort. More concerned with the pieces around Dajuan than Dajuan himself. We can all agree he isnt going to carry us. But that isnt who he is. 11-17 for an offensive role player is pretty awesome. I want Kease at the 2. Let the other transfers fight over the rest of the minutes at 2,3,4 (behind KJ so we can play Bidunga)
