Nite all ! Til Saturday…

We can’t play D like this sat.
-
Anyone got the ppp stats for this game?
-
We are a machine. In turnovers. JCL can really shoot. Surprised? No. 1927 Kansas is 50 years old. The guv decided the school children would select the state flower and state bird. My mom’s in the second grade and walks to school in rural (it’s mainly all rural) Anderson County. She decided to use what she saw while on her way to school as her choices. It’s a winner. We shot a higher overall FG% and 3PT% than from the line. Lol. Nice game!!

Self said after Dave’s foot was sore during the game. Looked it too

Are Baylors guards even that good? Not sure they are…

@BShark Purple guards going to be a nightmare for a while. That Pak kid can fill it up and the other one is super quick.

All of them will be gone after this year. Tough scene.

Fun fact of the day
KU has now won 64 of the last 70 meetings against K-St.

All of them are injured as well. Baylor fans are not very optimistic.
-
So this was my first test run of watching the 8PM games in the morning. Tbh, thoroughly enjoyed it….
Now, my goodness. If anyone was worried about what this team would do if they played an up tempo team in the tourney, you just got a taste. We will run you out of the gym if it is a race to 100.
Sure, we shot out of our minds. Even some guarded ones. But they also shot better from deep than I would have guessed.
23 assists last night. This team is hitting its stride late in the season and I’m still shocked. Idk why Remy would step in the floor at this point, and who it would even be for.
That was fun to watch.
-
Perhaps the most impressive improvement from last years squad to this years is just how filthy this team is when it gets in transition. Guys just fly up the court and push pace. I don’t remember the last time we were so good at this particular skill but its fun to watch when its unleashed.
-
I don’t want to say a win on Sat locks in a 1 seed, but it would go a long way to achieving it. If we win out, it won’t matter what we do in the B12 tourney.
-
In the short term I could see beating Baylor pushing us to the #3 overall seed (if we haven’t already trended there). That’s a major Quad 1 victory on the line.
-
@BeddieKU23 Arizona has back to back road games coming up against a decent Colorado team and good USC team. If we can win out the regular season I think we still have a shot at the overall #2 seed depending on how Arizona fairs on that road trip.
-
I agree the #2 overall seed is attainable. If KU wins out they will get it imo. Resume is too strong compared to Arizona
13 of Arizona’s 24 wins are against Quad 3/4 teams. KU has won more Quad 1 games then Arizona has even played in. Big-12 strength gives them another edge.

I expect your assessment is correct, but KU’s profile is unlike most years. In our non-conference schedule, we played just two teams that will likely be at-large picks. One is in the middle of the pack in the B10. The other spanked us on our home court. Our overall strength of schedule and number of Quad 1 wins is almost wholly due to the depth of quality in the B12 this year. As HCBS said yesterday, there are no bottom-feeders and easy wins. But, it’s not clear that the top of the conference matches other conferences, e.g., SEC and B10. Against the top half of our conference, we’ve split with TTU, at best can split with UT, no worse that a split with Baylor, and TTU remains to be seen. What we’ve managed to do is take care of business against the lower half, and those are all Quad 1-2 wins.
I really have no idea of what to expect when playing other top tier teams with different styles - just not much of a track record this year…
-
I’ve wondered this, too.
I see our future determined by tempo. When we’ve really dominated tempo, we win big. Last night… for example. Had we walked the ball up last night it would probably have been a close game.
We pose a real challenge to every team when we can push the ball at the right speed.
I think Joe has been a real lifesaver for us and he’s just starting to make the right connection with our offense.
-
I know there was a lot of talk about our soft non-conference schedule and it was lighter then normal no question there. We don’t have a real signature non-con win like some other programs do. Arizona’s win at Illinois looks good now since they are ranked (Illinois wasn’t ranked when they played). They also beat Michigan (who was #4 when they played) and we’ve all seen Michigan isn’t even an NIT team this year.
It appears the non-conference schedule will not hurt KU when it comes to seeding. KU beat North Texas is 20-4 (1st in Conf USA), Iona is 22-5 (1st in MAAC), Utep 16-11, Stephen F Austin 18-8, & lost to Dayton 19-8 (2nd in Atlantic 10) so there’s potentially 2-3 teams from that group that could make the tourney there.
Agree a lot of our strength in resume is due to the Big-12’s strength. The 3 leading teams in Quad 1 wins come from the Big-12. KU has benefitted by being in a league that has so many Quad 1 opportunities. It also helps when you don’t have half the league with losing records etc.
As for comparing the top half of the Big-12 to other conferences to me that’s splitting hairs. The Top 3 teams in the P5 + the Big East normally could take turns beating each other on any given night. Maybe not the ACC this year since its such a down year. Baylor, Tech, Texas were all Top 4 seeds in the mock tournament release last weekend. I’m not surprised we may at best split with those 3 teams in the regular season.
I really have no idea of what to expect when playing other top tier teams with different styles - just not much of a track record this year…
Agree, I have similar concerns. We faced some differing styles in the non-con but for the most part the Big-12 has been the same night in and night out in style. The best offense we played against spanked us at home. That was also their best game of the season. Things happen. The unknown’s going into the tourney will have us talkin’

LJ Cryer shoots 47% from 3 at a pretty high volume and didn’t play in the first game.
