KU vs USC game thread
-
Against kenpoms 110 team. Usc 98 spots higher
-
So this is why some of us were worried about this game
-
We got one effing postseason of Doke and it was a FF. Now we gotta watch this shit
-
Go zone. Junk defenses
-
Go five guards.
-
Also holy shit USC was a gnarly 6 seed. They’re almost 6 overall in KenPom
-
I watched every game this year and I thought the same thing I am right now. How Bill Self has this team finishing 2nd in the conference and a 3 seed is amazing. ZERO shooters.
-
Do literally anything else this half besides whatever we just saw
-
Good thing we went all yr covid free just to have a meaningless tournament blow it all up
-
If we double our point total and hold them scoreless in the 2nd half, we win by 2!!!
-
Well we were down by 19 to Missouri with 16:38. And down by 14 to west vrginia with 3:42 left and 9 to Memphis with 2:12 left…
So if we come out with frank, devonte, t-rob, Josh Jackson, tyshawn and releford…we have this
-
Stranger things have happened. 20 minutes left to play.
-
KU has played like shit all year away from AFH all year against at large caliber teams. USC is an elite defense and a terrible match up for Kansas, but too many people didn’t want to believe that because the “Pac 12 is bad” and guess what. USC is an elite defense and and terrible match up for Kansas.
-
Throw in Gethro for 2 minutes.
-
Shooting 25%. Maybe that’s due to USC’s tremendous D, but I saw us miss a lot of good open shots

Gethro and Latrell show. It would not be worse
-
Length has bothered us all year. We have no answer for it on either end of the floor
-
Jalen not helping either
-
get it under 10 and see what happens
-
The game we barely beat Kentucky it was because Jalen was awesome. Probably not happening in this one.

He shouldn’t see the floor second half

Length has bothered like for 10 years…we usually have shooters that can hide it
-
700 players in the portal. Any random 5 couldn’t do worse.
-
Bama had 39 bench points tonight. Quinerly had 11 assists off the bench. Insane
-
Jalen is not recovered. No boards.
-
Kenpom has USC 8 overall(20 on O, 6 on D) Kansas at 20(49 on O, 10 on D) Looks about right expect tonight Kansas is about 149 in O

We’ve made them look more elite than they are. They’ve give up more than 80 3 times and more than 70 another 9 times…

TGf could be worse. But he’s the exception
-
@tundrahok He looks nervous
-
doubt mobley hits 4-4 from 3 second half, but I hope he tries
-
@BigBad I think he just looks pasty, weak, and tired.

Also, they’ve only scored 80 once in the past 10 games…
-
When your opponent has a terrific frontline and yours goes down with covid, you’re not gonna have a good time unless you just go bananas from 3. Lets hope for that in the second
-
We need Mobley…the shitty one…to keep shooting 3s. He shot his wad in the 1st half. Take away his outlier and if we. Shoot 50% from the field…we’re good
-
Law of averages, we’re due to shoot at least 60% in the second half. Garrett is making Mobley shoot threes. We’ve got this, people!
-
Except that Mobley has hit 40% from 3 this season. Not volume, but he’s good from that range.

Well then big Dave should jack up 30 3s this half…he’s shooting 100%
-
@tundrahok said in KU vs USC game thread:

Yep he’s increased his make total by 20%. In the first half.
-
He’s up to 47% now. Every opposing big man increases their 3-point average by at least 5 percent when they play against Kansas.
-
Ahhhh…the lagerald Vick 360 dunk. I remember when I loved that dude.
-
@bmensch1 You’re right! Let it fly!
-
Forget Cliff’s notes Hoosiers at half. Get Lilly from AT&T in for the pep talk. “It’s not complicated”
-
I’m too lazy to look it up…did Drayton green win a ship with mich st.
-
Draymond…not drayton
-

Negative. Izzo only has one and it was like 20 years ago
-
Mateen Cleaves right?
-
That’s it??? Seems like he’s had more
-
@FarmerJayhawk yeah mateem cleaves team right
-
MSU won in 2000. It was the last time a B10 team won the Natty
-
I know cleaves won one…I thought he was at 2
