We were supposed to get killed on the boards, but we outrebounded them by 4. Guards stepped up. That’s cool.

BShark

Harris is an elite defender for his size there I said it.

Kcmatt7

@wissox I like SVP.

jayballer67

Small ball lineup is the best lineup but Dave/Mitch will have to play some to keep Jalen out of foul trouble. Unless we stay small and let Marcus guard a big.

WE JUST GOT TO HAVE dAVE AT SOME POINT - - GOT TO GET BETTER. - -WITH OUT A DECENT big - NO CHANCE AT A TITLE

Kcmatt7

@BShark 6 steals in the two games

BShark

@jayballer67 Jalen is a decent big.

wissox

@Kcmatt7 OK, I never watch Sportscenter so I’ll give you that. Hoping they get to our game soon.

Duke shot 32.3% and they have 5 mcd all Americans. Glad we only have 2

Nova has won two titles without much of a “big”

BShark

Starting center Jalen Wilson.

FarmerJayhawk

Lmao we didn’t break 30% from the floor. 20-67 is 29.85%

jayballer67

Braun 6 offensive rebounds and 13 rebounds for the game

I hope people don’t think Dave has come around if he has a big game against Washburn - - ummm no

This team has a lot of grit. CB, Jalen, Marcus, Harris, Ochai all very tough. Marcus playing sick, you can tell he wasn’t at his best, but still played big minutes and was okay. Give Bryce some more time, get Tyon healthy. Did Tristan even get in the game today?

Kcmatt7

Is Texas… good?

wissox

Remember ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Defense was superb both ways and while it leads to scoring droughts and missed shots, there’s a beauty to it and i long for the days of the top defense in the country type Bill Self team.

For like 8 seconds, I believe.

Kcmatt7

@wissox long for it?

Last years D was #2 kenpom in the country and ELITE.

Crimsonorblue22

@Kcmatt7 yes

wissox

@Kcmatt7 Was it that high? I didn’t realize! Maybe the piss poor D against Gonzaga had me longing for something I’d forgotten was so near.

Crimsonorblue22

@BShark not second half

Duke only shot 32 pct., Michigan State barely broke 40. Not exactly a shooter’s paradise tonight.

Kcmatt7

@wissox yep. Only 60 ppg allowed, good for 10th best in the country.

Doke was just a monster and then you had Dot and Garrett pestering

wissox

@FarmerJayhawk I think Tristan’s parting moment was not blocking out a guy on a FT who blew by him for an easy layup.

nwhawkfan

Well, off for a late snack. Nite all. RCJH !

Crimsonorblue22

We have 1 game on ESPN+

FarmerJayhawk

@wissox yup. That was almost a remote tossing one for me

Yeah the defense last year was insane. Second only to UVA only without their shitty pace of play. 6th lowest 2pg % and 3rd lowest overall fg% against in the country thanks to Udoka. Very few teams even cracked 70 against KU last year. Dayton in OT, Texas Tech in a close win, Oklahoma and Iowa State in blow outs.

wissox

I still don’t know how they call that a 3?

wissox

@FarmerJayhawk LOL, hope your TV’s ok, or did you throw it at the window or something!

PLAY DAJUAN MORE

wissox

@Crimsonorblue22 Seriously? That’s great! I didn’t want to spend the money this year, still annoys me a bunch that our AD would stoop to such a pitiful arrangement.

Crimsonorblue22

One coming up, forgot which one. Could be more I guess.

wissox

2 bench points.

tundrahok

Thanks for the heads up. Dec 3, Dec 5, and Dec 13 are on ESPN+/Big 12 Now. The big networks must not think Washburn, NDSU, and Tarleton State (??) would be big draws nationally.

Tarleton State! Billy Clyde!

tundrahok

@FarmerJayhawk Wow, I missed that news. Happened early COVID, when I had my head in the sand.

Crimsonorblue22

@tundrahok your head was really IN the sand too, huh?

tundrahok

@Crimsonorblue22 Pretty much. Beer and Netflix got me through the first couple of months!

Marcus is so good, he did this while sick to boot.

BShark

Also saw that last Mintz “three” again. It was probably a two and he traveled lol. Twitter if great for anything is great for having clips of big plays up.
