Better hope our threes keep falling, or we’re toast.
-
Defensive battle brewing
-
Gonzaga shot 68% that half. Doubt they repeat that in the second half. KU’s not out of this yet.
-
Going to be a long year if we lack playmaking from the point guard spot. Seems like we are nothing but wings with David and Mitch.
-
-
After those first 10 minutes, single figures at the half is a blessing. Let’s see if we can bring some consistent defensive pressure in the second half. Saw it a few possessions but need it every time down the floor.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 But their good shooting was our gift to them, for the most part. Too many easy shots at the rim.

Defense has a ways to go that’s for sure. Won’t play too many teams like the Zags offense though.
-
KU gave up a lot of layups and easy baskets, but Gonz can’t shoot 68% from the field in the second half.
-
Imagine if KU had 2-3 more points (the Garrett call)…

I still don’t see them hitting at that rate in the second half because they were still making shots when KU’s defense was solid too.
-
Ok anyone know the score? I’ve now seen both 46 and 47
-
46-54. maybe somebody thought that last shot was a 3?
-
I think I did.
-
Gonzaga is an elite offensive team. Multiple pros.
-
@BShark 1.43 ppp is insane.

Agree. KU has whiffed on defense a lot but this is a mix. Gonzaga will score on basically everyone this year. Of course it would be nice if KU made it harder on them in the 2nd half.

hi fellow Jayhawk citizen… happy Thanksgiving to all. I can’t stand the officiating of the game, decided to drop by here to vent my frustration!
-
I thought we got robbed in more than a couple of possessions: Mitch’s awesome block, Jalen’s steal, Marcus’ excellent cross behind the back, etc… etc…
-
@msanchez I do think some of KUs physicality was held up by some early calls.
-
@msanchez Pretty blatant!
-
Ugh those rebounding numbers…
-
@BShark Thanks B. I sure hope our D will neutralize Zag’s excellent offense.
-
That’s what I’m talking about!! Go David!
-
Although he made that, Dave has very little court awareness…
-
Gonzaga is the best offense KU will fave this season.
-
Sure ref ochai just got punched in the face
-
Cannot afford to lose Agbaji

True - but was hoping that the Hawks would be one of the best defenses they would face…
-
I feel like we lack speed

It takes more time for a defense to become top notch than offense does.
-
With KU’s length, mixing some zone would help a lot with keeping the ball out of the paint some.
-
can’t lose Garrett - he’s got 3, he’s been stellar attacking the rim.
-
Here we go!
-
Just a note: mask don’t work if you pull them down every time you yell and spray your spit everywhere.
-
All the way back ! Wow. Don’t let up the pressure guys.
-
Looks like HCBS has a COVID gut going…
-
That hurt…

Players on the court also can’t hear what a coach says with a mask up so coaches need to pull it down to call plays or get a refs attention.
-
Since when kicking a ball is allowed in basketball?
-
Wtf agbaji dunk it
-
@BeddieKU23 He’s in an awkward position IIRC.
-
How do you miss a point blank shot with no defense (Thompsons follow)
-
Bryce looks legit.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 in a mostly quiet gym pretty sure they can be heard. They may not FEEL like they are being heard.
-
Bryce is good at basketball folks.

Never a doubt. Love his game

Hopefully bryce can make these. Free throws have been a struggle

With the artificial crowd noise being pumped in, it’s a lot more difficult than you would think to hear, especially with the type of mask Self has on. I do coach basketball in empty gyms and still have to pull my mask down so my players can hear a play call.
I’ve even had to pull my mask down in practice so my players could instructions for a drill because my mask was muting my voice more than I thought and I’m one of the loudest teachers on my campus.

We’ve totalled 6 assists so far vs Zag’s 10.
