Kansas Jayhawks Vs UConn Huskies Game Thread 12/2 8PM CT

@rockchalkjayhawk I thought we were going to pull it out until about 3 mins left when we started missing FTs right as we had a chance to tie. Then uconn hits the deep 3 and KU's offense went into desperation mode too early.

Could have used some mbiya with tiller quiet, and def some more wario rosario. Effectively 6 man rotation is no way to live.

Not so fun with the box score!
FGs
Tre White — a shocking 1-3
Melvin Council — a not so shocking 4-13
Elmarko Jackson — a pleasing 4-9
Box score invisibility
Bryson Tiller — did he even play?
Jayden Dawson — I thought in the summer he was an obvious starter. Maybe now losing playing time. He seems brain dead.
FTs
KU — 15-21
UConn — 6-8
That’s a winning formula. What the heck happened??
Starters played too many minutes and we didn’t rebound

Neither Peterson or Council is a traditional PG, they are both Combo Guards. I agree Peterson will make a difference; I'm just not sure how much. I don't personally think it brings us from the 50's where we've been for 3 years straight to the Top 25 but I guess we'll see, if he ever does play again here. We have such a small sample base to make any kind of accurate opinion on. Theoretically he should make a tangible difference.
We played with the intensity and effort to win the game on defense but the offensive struggles were really highlighted, once again. They were there last week against ND and Cuse but we were able to survive. They got to find consistency scoring the ball regardless of whether DP is in the lineup or not. We don't have the personnel to survive 35% shooting nights especially when a majority of the misses were right at the rim. We played to our identity last night but didn't execute enough.
-
I think coach Hurley had a perplexed or stunned look on his face. UConn mostly looked just average. It's a fluke loss. Bricking lay ups even to the point of air balling is funny is retrospect. What I really want to see is this team keeping up the effort on defense. It's effective and I'm proud of them. This team has losses to NC, Duke and UConn and played them even 90% of the time. If Peterson is really good we could beat all of them.

I just want to shoutout to Jamari again. With the game on the line with 30 seconds to go he drove to the basket and drew contact. It went uncalled, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve credit for the clutch play he made.
-
@Jayhawk_69 Agree. Jamari was fouled with the body. That was a foul most of the time. At that point, it needed to be an 'and-1' for us to have a shot at the win and he didn't make the shot, so it didn't matter quite as much. The officiating continues to be splotchy in the NCAA.
Our defense was good enough last night to make us competitive with any team in the B12. We'll need that to be a regular occurrence and not just something we trot out for top 10 teams if we want to be competing for a league title.

Don’t you put that hell on us hahaha

@bskeet An and-1 would have been great, but drawing the foul and making 2 free throws and allowing us to set-up the press wouldn't have been awful in that situation.

I know ESPN makes it a point to show Hurley freaking out on the sideline between every play but it's absolutely 100% cringe to watch his behavior. It just looks so classless and isn't a good look. I guess ESPN was making it a thing to show his freak outs for some reason. I bet UConn fans don't even want to see it. You can't tell me this behavior doesn't impact how the refs call the game.

Shades of seizure boy know as Bruce Weber, he’s still the only coach to contact an opposing player and not get a tech that I’ve ever seen.
