Princeton
-
Council with 6 assists so far. 8 points. Should have about 16 points. He gets to the rim easily. Sets up the oops.
-
Tre White with a good game
-
Tre White getting his groove today.
-
Council and Elmarko are complete non shooters. Hard to believe
-
Flory could have caught that shot instead of swatting it to the Kaw
-
Bidunga really stepped up and saved this game on both ends. Great energy and confidence finishing plays
-
Starting to look like the only one who can stop Bidunga is Bidunga.

He surprised me a few times today

We’re 20-31 on 2pt attempts - scoring in the paint consistently. Alas, just 4-18 on 3pt attempts - most of which don’t look close to going in…
-
Wow, AM was losing 30-3 and came back keeping their undefeated season going. Now back to Jayhawks.
-
I wish I was typing and not looking on that Calderon 3. Then I wouldn’t have had to see it. U G L Y

5 star Elmarko gets ball stripped from him by an ivy leaguer in front of the KU bench.
-
Don’t watch the last 5 minutes. Sheesh.
-
@wissox Jackson has been awful the last few minutes…
-
@DCHawker You mean the last few years?
-
Don’t watch the last 5 minutes. Sheesh.
Have we scored since the 5 minute mark???
-
He’s close to the worst guard that’s played here. Stats would agree too. Needs to go down a level

Got 19 minutes on the court today - 2pts on 1-7 from the floor; 0-4 from 3. Zero assists.
-
Question , how long has it been since we have had a guy that will attack and draw fouls ?-- Well we got one now. Tre White is doing really we this season, I think he got what !3 attempts today ? Really solid game-- --nothing flashy just good ball. Think he scored like 16 points and what 8 rebounds ?- -I take those numbers every ay

Agree. He was brutal today.

2 buckets in the last 5:45 - one was Ngala’s 3…
-
Another good defensive job.

They’re better drivers than shooters. Elmarko still can’t play off ball which was his issue as a freshman. He’s looked a bit better when he’s running the second unit with the ball in his hands. Elmarko needs to watch film on Stephen Curry to see how to play without the ball in his hands. Obviously he’ll never be the shooter Curry is, but Curry is the greatest off ball player in NBA history and there’s a lot to learn from studying him.
With Council, it appears he’s still adjusting to the speed of P5 basketball. I think he’ll be fine long term here. He’s never been a great shooter and that’s not going to change, but he’s always been aggressive in driving the ball and getting to the line and putting pressure on opposing defenses.
There’s obviously still tinkering going on with rotations and line ups and learning to play without Peterson which is going to be huge in the long run for KU in March.
We’ll see what Peterson’s status is for Tuesday, but I’m fulling expecting him to play and show out against fellow #1 pick contender Cam Boozer because I think this is more load management and protecting the goods more than anything else with him. If Peterson doesn’t play Tuesday though, that’s going be a red flag that his hamstring issue is more serious than the staff is portraying it to be at the moment.
Overall, this was a nice win against a team with a good shot at making the NCAA Tournament where we saw this team working through stuff in real time and figuring some stuff out.
-
It looks like McDowell has been cut from the rotation.
I continue to believe that Ngala needs real minutes.
We have the pieces to have a good season, but DP must start playing.
Duke will probably blow us out. No Peterson hurts. We need to not get discouraged when that happens.
-
I went fishing today. Got skunked, as usual. But I feel my blood pressure is much better off because of it.
-
The game went about how I figured it would. Flory needs to play hard all the time not just in little spurts. Is Elmarko Jackson the worst 5 star player in recorded history? How the hell was he a top 20 recruit. He showed flashes as a freshman but good god he looks lost as a player can be on both ends.
-
Flory Bidunga Highlights vs. Princeton (25 Pts, 10 Rebs, 3 Blks)
-
Tre stepped up and Council ran things pretty well. Our three point shooting was crappy and Elmarko was 1/7 from the field but he’s a bigger guard with quickness and hops who plays befuddled for some reason. I thought Jamari would snap out of it but no. Tiller is going to get a lot of playing time and he needs that along with some serious coaching and we need that size he gives us on the boards and his shooting has become really important. Jayden Dawson please make a big leap because you are a shooter.
-
At least we have athletes this year. Scrappy bunch. I’m honestly looking forward to watching this team all year win or not The starters were all above 20 pts , and Dawson with 24
-
Good stuff from Flory, Melvin, Tre, Bryson, Kohl and Jayden. Good team effort.
-
Pretty happy with what i saw. We scrapped, we figured it out, we had a breakout performance from Bidunga. Lots of contributions from other guys. We got to the line. He had a variety of scoring. We got to the deep bench snd would have won by 20.
All things we sucked at last year.
-
Not something i’d normally comment on, but i thought Nick Bahe was very informative today as the color guy on TV.
He really did a great job of explaining the ins and outs of how the KU guys needed to play defense against Princeton. He was in the weeds about guarding the 3 pt line and backdoor cuts and I loved it! nicely done.
He also wasn’t shy about saying our guards need to step up and make some outside shots for us to be successful.
Best game i recall from him on the mic.

I think you may be mistaking points for minutes played?
-
Tre White with a nice interview after.
-
@approxinfinity I like the lil guy at the end.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I really like Nick.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I agree as well on Nick Bahe. Usually I have the volume practically off a few minutes into a game, but he was absolutely great and a breath of fresh air today.
