Bench saved their bacon in 2nd half.

Players who showed out today: Flory (duh), Tiller, except he needs to stop shooting 3’s even if the announcers try telling us he’s good at shooting it from out there. Tre White is surprising me with his toughness. Council has some surprising athleticism. Even the underachieving 11 and 13 guys played decently I thought and made a 3 a piece and played some nice defense at times.
ND should have stopped shooting 3’s. They weren’t even close on most of those. They weren’t a very good looking team to be honest, but it’s always good to beat Notre Dame in any sport.
Bill Self toughening box! Tre has been something else since the UNC game where he played pretty soft.
I hear you on Notre Dame. I can’t stand them.

@BShark We drove over to South Bend recently and walked around campus. Beautiful place, but their athletic arrogance is 2nd to none, and really hasn’t been earned in the last 30 years or so.
-
Jalen Rose and Chris Weber in the same studio? $$$$$
-
White has been really good and stepped up his play. Plays hard all the time.

Bryson Tiller Highlights vs. Notre Dame (17 Pts, 9 Rebs, 2 Blks)

We got lazy and tired feeding the post or this was a 20 point win.
Really hope this stretch without DP is a net positive and forces some growth.
Good win though! Liked the energy.
-
Awesome block by Jamari on Bird
-
Cuse really hanging with Houston. That’s worrisome for tomm
-
Melvin, Tre, DP, Bryson, Flory…. Feeling like a strong ass five by seasons end right now.
-
@BeddieKU23 I think Houston might just not be all that great from what I’ve seen of them a few times already this year…
-
You plug in DP over Rosario and we are a problem for any team. We have been calling on Tre to be as good as he was last year and he is proving to be even better I mean a big guard who can score inside and get tough rebounds. We didn’t know what we were going to get in Tiller but I don’t think we expected a dominating paint player like this. Over the summer pundits said Flory would be one of the most improved centers this year but his stat line today was holy smokes. So Melvin Counsel Jr comes along and asserts himself today and shows his natural gifts are under control and flourishing. Our defense is pretty darn good also.
-
Happy to see Flory all smiles and friendly, hugging Notre Dame players after the game. Kid is flying high right now.
-
Watching Bill engage with this team in the huddle I think he is really into it and likes them. And the players are having some fun and believing in themselves.
-
Hopefully we benefit from tired legs from Cuse going to OT. They look really tough
-
@BShark I will say Jamari played hard nosed and fearless today.
-
Houston is a great team. Some November struggles are nothing to sound alarms over
-
Well the Big Twelve went 4-0 in the tourney today, Ku should benefit with all these dang rules in this tourney- As we won by the biggest separation-- --we won by Ten- - Baylor won by Seven----Iowa St won by one & Houston won by like Five.
So do I have this right, if your not one of the top four teams that has played then you play again Thursday ?
Keys to beating Syracuse tomorrow :- - -Take care of the ball—Syracuse presses most of the game- - -Gotta hit the boards – -Got to defend the three, and hope that they just don’t go white hot from the line, be our luck they won’t miss period after that display today , Hope they shoot FT like they did today
-
@BShark I don’t think they are either. I mean they are good , but this is not last years team for sure

Very concerned with the zone. Expectations are low
-
@Jhawk69 that was partially due to our defense
-
Eight blocks today we are ranked 13 th in the Nation with block shots , think they said averaging 6.4 per game and we lead the big twelve in blocks
-
Plus we had a lot of clean blocks against Duke that were incorrectly called as fouls
-
@approxinfinity He played at LaLumiere right down the road from South Bend. I really should get over there and watch a game, but they charge like college prices to get in so i’ll skip.

This tournament is getting ripped on social media. It’s essentially killed Maui and the Bahamas thing. And while Vegas does have some good matchups the gyms are woefully uncrowded. In addition the tournament format is confusing, apparently point differential is a thing? A point differential in Vegas? Hmmm. Sounds like a kid or coach could be on the receiving end of some money…or death threats for helping or messing up someones bet.
