At Arizona
-
Other than the run to get within 2, just bad basketball around. 48-26 deficit on the boards. Effort issue. While their bigs owned ours, the stat that really stands out is that one of the UA guards had twice as many RBs as Flory and Bryson together. The other one is only 8 assists. DP should not be the primary ball handler...
And why is it that year in and out we seem to have one of the least productive benches in D1???

@RockChalkinTexas-0 oops. Had to go visit my parents after coaching, my dad had a fall; I lost track of it.

I think my goals have now changed to just beat KSU and get the sweep anything else is gravy, sad but that’s where we are at as a program right now.

DP shouldn’t bring the ball up the vast majority of the time, he is looking for his shot and no one else making it super easy to defend. DP is a great shooter when he is hot but he not a great athlete and will struggle mightily to get open at the next level.

@approxinfinity I hope all is well with your dad.

Thanks guys. He bounced back well but my mom is winding down faster than he is. Old age sucks. Gotta party every day like its 2099.

Well was just sitting here and collecting numerous things after the game today . # one was that I realized this is not a final four team , why do i say that ? because our bench gives us pretty much limited. Our bench quality depth /production. When is the last time we have had any kind of quality productive bench ? When we sub out we really struggle scoring, opponents eyes light up when they see McDowell. on the floor, just to much of a liability Bill. i just stuck on a seven or eight man rotation more seven. I would love to see more like eight or nine quality where we have quality scoring coming off the bench. # three is our offense has to many liability in scoring , to many scoring droughts -- two- -three-- -four minute droughts perfect examples Arizona going on scoring runs of like eighteen to zero-- and like twenty to zero scoring runs us either turning the ball over or just terrible offense. Lastly for now # four I know this THAT FLORY 100 % for sure needs to come back for another year--he IS NOT READY for the NBA and I'm not sure if he will ever be ready for the NBA ,-Why < because he is an under sized five and right now he would get eaten alive in the NBA opponent would just flat out bully him.- Like I said unless he can come up with some kind of shot then his only option very well at best would be G league or overseas, Then Tiller just needs another year, Believe it or not Bryson could have a better shot of making a NBA roster in the end. He already the body mass just needs some more development shas some shots rebounds average right now so ya --- -

Outrebounded 48 to 26. That's all you need to know about today's game.
-
@approxinfinity oh gosh, it's tough to go though those times. Do you have siblings to help?
-
@approxinfinity I hope your dad is ok!
-
@crimsonblu22 yeah, my brother is a PT and the best person i know. He is helping them but theyre very very stubborn and take unnecessary risks.

Not so fun with the box score…
POINTS SCORED
Flory and Bryson — 4 points combined / FUGLY
REBOUNDS
KU — 26
Arizona — 48
Flory and Bryson — 6 rebounds combined / FUGLY
FREE THROWS — FUGLY
KU — 10 of 11
Arizona — 30 of 34
FIELD GOALS — surprising
KU — 22 of 65
Arizona — 25 of 55
3PT SHOOTING
KU — 7 of 20
Arizona — 4 of 16
Looking at fgs and 3 pt stats alone, I would have guessed a KU win, and no way a blowout.
This game was won and lost at the free throw line (even though it didn’t look that way while watching).

We aren't home though. Its going to be ugly I'm afraid. This team doesn't look connected away from home once again

@approxinfinity There's a reason that pride (stubborness) is one of the seven deadly sins. My dad is the same way. He's 90 and very mentally sharp, but his body is failing him. He falls frequently. Thank God he hasn't broken anything. But he will not listen to my pleas to use a cane, walker or wheelchair. "Those are for old people ".

My dad sleeps till 3 in the afternoon, asks me ten times a day where I live, what do I do, etc. 94 years old. My sister and her superhero husband live with him and mom too who's not in the best of health. I'm with them in far northern wisconsin for a long weekend. Not easy. I don't really want to grow old ;).

We should start a post on older parents

@wissox83 my son has strict orders. If anyone mentions putting me in a nursing home, he is to book a cruise to Jamaica and dump me overboard on the way back.

Offense just dropped into the 50s now for the 3rd straight year. Thats our main problem and has been
-
I would argue that this year rebounding has been a bigger problem than scoring. If our offense is ranked in the 50s, our rebounding must be in the 300s. However, I agree that our offense needs to take a big step up.
