BYU Beatdown pregame chat

Defense is the biggest challenge in this game for KU and it's really going to come down to how well the guys communicate and react on switches and rotations. BYU's style of offense with Pope and now Smith has given KU absolute fits. We've had no answer for them. All the attention will be on Dybansta but I'd rather we focus it on Wright who absolutely killed us in Waco last year playing for Baylor. Have to make him uncomfortable running the show and keep him from having a big game.
On Offense, they have to make shots efficiently. I'd like to see us play inside/out. Our recent winning streak has shown that if we get Flory and Tiller going early, the adjustments defensively open up everything else for this offense. If they could get Keita into foul trouble that would really go a long ways.

That's on Self to not let that happen.

Didn't realize Dawson Baker has been out for them which is good for us. If there's someone outside their big 3 that we can't let have a big game would be Davis. He's the AJ Storr of their team, super streaky, woke up in the Arizona game and had double his average.

ESPN has KU as a 4.5 pt favorite. RC

Building's gonna be red hot. Can't wait

Darryn has to be healthy and he has to be able to pass out of double and triple teams. As good as DP is at scoring, he is one of the worst passers out of double/triple teams I have ever seen. I know he has the talent to fix that, and if he does our offense will reach a new level. As for defense, it all comes down to Flory and Bryson playing both smart and hard.

ESPN talking about how this should be a classic.- last time these two matched up was on the circuit and it was just crazy , Darryn lit it up for FIFTY EIGHT POINTS and Dybansta going off for FORTY EIGHT they had off nights lmao

The Truth is going to be there. Pierce and KG were on a podcast and some clothing company sent him a bunch of Jayhawk shirts (Wilt's #) and so he should be in the locker room pre game with a speech to get them going. He did THE CHANT and was swaying like wave the wheat. He was fired up. No one wants to miss the match up between DP and AJ. I saw where last time they played against each other, DP had 58 and the winning bucket. Home court is going to be huge. I've only watched BYU a couple of times, and to me it looked like they just gave the ball to AJ to drive and get fouled and it has been fruitful for them as he has the MOST FTs in Big 12. I hope Flory and BT can play without fouls being a distraction. We need BT to step up like he did vs the kitty cats. Take it to the hoop. We have to get to the foul line and make our bunnies. Who will be starting? Marko or Mari? I think based on last game it would be Marko. Can someone explain Coach using Dawson over Kohl in the event of foul trouble? I am already nervous since there are going to be so many eyes across the country on this one. Self has a ridiculous record vs higher ranked teams in AFH. Just load the wagon! RCJH GO KU

Right now we are alone in between the top tier and the middle tier. Our losses to UCF and WVU took away any slack in our record. The win against ISU and this four game winning streak have kept us alive and now up to a four seed in the NCAA bracket, Before the conference games started we had moved up to a solid three seed then we fell to a five seed. This team had played good enough to have us believing in a positive outcome while not even counting on DP's availability. This season has been one of winning streaks. First we won one and then lost one and then won two and lost one and then won three and lost one and then won four in a row and lost now we are again at four in a row. If we get this fifth one we have taken a place at the Big boys table in the conference and nationally. We are number one in having faced the best offenses and number one in having faced the toughest defenses of any other team this season. Wrap your head around that one. We are damned good. Now with Tiller having played in twenty games he is getting it and looks poised to take that next step and wow us. Elmarko can ball and now score like he was expected to from the beginning of his time with us. There is an edge in his game now. He's having fun. And now we have Darryn and he is a scary great asset and if he can just blend in, which he will at some point, we move to an elite level. This team has not accepted the status quo and won't accept it. I truly think we can win tomorrow but we may have to take a standing eight count and then get the crowd back into it.
