Kansas vs St Johns
-
I understand the negativity, but when we're losing by 8 points with 6 minutes left in the first half and people are saying it's over, I just log out. Now that it's over I can give a few thoughts.
The most disappointing play was the last. After a game full of challenges on every one of their shots we let a guy score at the rim who had no business scoring at the rim.
Hard to criticize a guy for scoring too soon, but I wish DP waited til the end, technically :02 seconds, to make his attempt at scoring the tying points. Gave them the time to get a shot off. We didn't handle the fouls to give very well either. Like try to steal the ball! One time White just grabbed a guy, no attempt at all to steal.
Hard to believe that in the NCAA tournament 2 guys besides DP made 1 three each.
Long wait til next season. We won it all just 4 years ago so we've got lots to be thankful for.

Some 19 to 22 year old kids didn’t play as well as we had hoped. And now I’m sure they will get trashed or possibly threatened online. Sad

On a brighter note KU Women won their 2nd round WBIT game….
That's not brighter honestly. Schneider is going to do just enough to save his job again, bring in another strong recruiting class and build expectations for next season, then significantly underachieve and do just enough to save his job again. The man has made 2 NCAA Tournament's in 11 years. Fire his ass already regardless of what ever happens in this tournament.

Adam Lefkoe (Syracuse) on TNT taking a bit too much glee in KU's loss and giving a lot of shade to KU.. making stuff up about DP

@bskeet 🤮🤮

@crimsonblu22 I’m hearing everyone but Mari and Elmarko are being shopped hard by their agents. Trying to get max pay days. Dook is supposedly offering over 3 mill for Flory alone.

Not so fun wth the box score...
this one can't entirely be judged on the box score. unless they added a mental mistake category.
3 PT SHOTS
KU -- 5-14
SJU -- 11-35
Pretty much the most glaring stat. We challenged them to shoot, and they made enough to win.
INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES
Council -- he did what he had to in the major stats: 15 pts, 9 boards, 4 assists. but an ugly to watch 5 TOs.
Bryson -- 0 points, 5 boards. Think he'll be better in years to come? not sure what his go to way to score is yet.
Mbiya -- more boards than Flory in less than half the minutes.
Elmarko -- will be remembered for that last play

Tre -- 4 pts, 5 boards, 3 assists, 3 TOs. we needed him to score.
DP -- 21 with some i guess questionable shot selections. but somebody has to shoot!
REBOUNDS
KU -- 44
SJU -- 36
Nicely done. going in i thought we matched up well to compete on the boards.
TURNOVERS
KU -- 16
SJU -- 8
no bueno.
BLOCKS
KU -- 9
SJU -- 3
Also nicely done.

Stupid if ya don't in this era, huh. it is what it is now. times have changed

How would we feel about this team, a front court rotation of Ejiofor, Udeh, Clemence and a backcourt with Bobby Pettiford in it?
We know what Ejiofor turned into which is why I was so frustrated losing him, but Udeh, Clemence, and Pettiford were also solid role players on teams that won at least one game in the NCAA Tournament this year.

@Texas-Hawk-10
we did it to ourselves, and thats why it really hurts. -
@Texas-Hawk-10 Lebaron Philon currently on the floor for Alabama.
-
Not watching but Utah St making it interesting against Zona.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 seen clemence play quite a bit. No. Not sure about some problems he had.Petiford was hurt a lot.
-
We beat STJ in almost every stat in the game except points off of turnovers which was -11.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 ejiofor and udeh would've been miles better than what we got this season, largely because of tiller. the other 2 wouldn't be impactful
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Zuby was the only real loss there. Udeh and Zach never really developed. Bobby graduated last year.

Man it hurts to see Marko has broken up as he was after the game. Say what you want about his game, but he really, really cares and loves being a Jayhawk.
