Just let Dave do his thing for the last few minutes. He’s earned it
-
Yesufu with back to back double figure games. Perhaps he is ready to give us a serious role off the bench
-
Jank sighting.
-
MJ is stepping up!

-

Is that good?
Promising. Need him healthy and ready
-
Finally covered a spread
-
Bill says Wow! That’s funny.
-
MJ put up 19 points on 9 FGA… Kevin could never
-
Jalen had 6 assists. I think this is an area of his game he will have to use as the season goes on. He has a complete game when he wants to
-
@BeddieKU23 nice to run some offense
-
Yesufu’s final shot (the 3) caused the game total points to go over 141. O/U at 141 only had 6% with the over. Money changed hands on that shot!
-
@DanR great idea!

Was mostly street ball with Norm. Beat Duke with street ball WOW SAD FOR DUKE.
-
@BShark Duke is not good and it brings me much joy
-
Love seeing Joe Dooley on the bench.

@Kcmatt7 said in Texas Southern Game Thread:
When does the MJ>McCullar talk start? Because I’m almost there myself
Depends on which end of the floor. MJ is the better offensive player, but McCullar is the better defensive player. Really might just come down to what KU’s needs are on a given night who should get the crunch time minutes.
-
Also, didn’t realize Shaq’s son was on TSU.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 they talked about him in pregame, basically said shaq wasn’t treating him special. I didn’t notice him playing. Is he the one that had heart surgery?
-
Now all we have to do is translate this to Thursday - just a little step up in the opponent come Thursday. Let’s see how MJ handles/plays against Seton Hall - - See if Joe can continue a upward swing , competition little stiffer
-
I don’t like our starters playing 30 minutes in this game, even with McCullar out. Yesufu doesn’t bother me playing those minutes because he had to play multiple roles tonight, but definitely would’ve preferred Harris and Wilson being around 25 minutes.
It’s also concerning that in a game like this, Clemence, Ejiofor, and Udeh played a combined 28 minutes and only took 3 shots. It’s looking more and more like tge 5 spot is going to be an even bigger black hole on offense than when Landen Lucas was playing.
Hopefully this was Rice’s coming out party and he can be the spark off the bench KU needs, but the 5 spot should be an even bigger concern after tonight’s lack of offense behind KJ.
-
I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out how this team can score more than 57 points per game
-
Rice just said he didn’t have covid, just kidney stones. More to the story.

I noticed in this game , that there were times when Ernest & Zuby were on the floor they didn’t even begin to look at the basket - -looked like they just wanted to get the ball out of their hands as fast as they could , our 5 spot is gonna have to get something done. - -I DID notice tonight like had been mentioned - -did KJ get a single rebound ?-- I’m not sure , been brought to our attention before about that but tonight stuck out to me for sure
-
@jayballer67 none of our bigs seem to have the timing and judgment to know how to both rim protect and rebound. Right now they try to block almost everything but do so in a way that takes them completely out of position for any rebound. Zuby seems like the only one who knows when to start fighting for rebounds as he actually tries to get position when the shot goes up. The rest wait for the shot to hit the rim, then try to fight if they haven’t already flown out of bounds trying to swat it but it’s already too late at that point.
I still think Udeh is the best bet there but he needs some serious practice time and coaching to figure some of those fundamentals out.
Kj plays because he at least doesn’t wreck the flow of the offense and can switch enough to cause some havoc on defense. Plus he always plays his tail off.

Looked to me the goal was to get rice and joe going and unfortunately the bigs outside of kj just aren’t there yet to allow the game to flow when they are out there.
Seems like it’s been a while since our bigs were this raw.
But of course we complained all last year that Dave was terrible and could never be the five on a truly great team but then he goes and basically dominates the final four. So what do we know?
-
We saw last week that KU needs MJ Rice as an offensive threat. You can’t survive the entire season with only two solid scorers. You need three. Wilson, Dick and Rice is much better than just Wilson and Dick to open up the floor.
Throw Yesufu and McCullar in as secondary options and that’s a functional offense.
Only thing left is finding some rim protection from Udeh or Ejifor. But that may come with time.
-
It really is amazing how horrible big men are as freshmen. I don’t know if it’s just that they finally play against guys their own height or if pre-college coaching for bigs is non-existent. Sure, they make a big dunk or impressive block once in a while, but otherwise they’re like a chunk of gravel stuck in the machinery
-
Pre college coaching for most is not great, for all players. A coach told me, a past player that had good coaching said he was so far ahead just because of that.
