@Jayblaze Is that our next game? If so, then yes, but I am keeping an eye on the playoff. Was thinking we’ll be Liberty Bowling a few days before that though so maybe then?!
Liberty Bowl is on Wednesday the 28th.

I’ll be in the stadium so doubt I’ll be on here much. Supposed to be mid 50’s in Memphis that day so temperature should be nice.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m excited about it!

Osu game, looks like Bryce has turned the corner!

Good for him. I do wish he had stayed…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Remind me, who is Bryce and which OSU does he play for?
-
Bryce Thompson okie state

Well, that seemed like the usual lackluster night before Christmas break game.
Jalen was asleep at the wheel. When that happens, other guys have to step up.
the way Harvard bumped us off the 3 pt line, it was time for our 5 man center rotation to step up. KJ was respectable. Seemed like a game where 23 and 35 could build on their growng confidence. But Self’s game plan obviously didn’t include them. Curious. Or did they just make mental mistakes in their 2 minutes of play?
McCullar filled some of the scoring void. That’s good. Hey, Self gave Rice some run! More!
Onward.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk So I agree completely on Jalen and I think Self would too and the funny thing is you look up and he still had 21.
-
I did watch the game of course. Would have loved to participate in the game thread but the weather has my internet mostly out right now.

Yup, he still got his points. Just a generally lazy game. I understand. It happens. I was really hoping to see the two bigs get some time in the post. Seemed like the perfect opportunity. Or maybe Self wanted to play small?
Oh well, Merry Christmas all!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk He didn’t defend at all basically.
I don’t think Self is ever going to legitimately play 2 bigs this season. Possibly ever again unless we got some truly special players.

Ha, i didn’t mean two bigs at the same time!
Unless we can we bring back LaFrentz and Pollard?
Just wanted to see more guys get some PT, that’s all.
Conference time, so the rotation will get tighter now.

@rockchalkjayhawk rice gave a very good interview after game to kennetra. She asks good questions. He said all the right things, very unselfish. Sounds like he’s getting it. I’m buying it.

Yea, in the few interviews I’ve seen with him, he’s said all the right things and seems put together.

This game was only close because KU couldn’t make perimeter shots. Harvard had a good sound defensive strategy that worked well because KU continued to miss. They gave up only 54 points so hard to blame the defense too much. Good to see them find a way to win when they don’t play that great
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d love to see those stats that tell you what the average score would have been based on shot selection because I bet it wouldn’t have been close. Not ever sure where people find those.
-
Yeah there are definitely sites that track this. At least 3-5 of those shots that were missed were shots KU normally knocks down, especially at home

Shot Quality is one of them. It’s a bit silly of course, they said Illinois should have won that game against Missouri. It’s also a paid service I think so the only ones easily seen are when they post stuff to their twitter.
Also a tifwiw but Shot Quality loves KU this year. Top 5 along with UConn, Tennessee, Purdue and UCLA.
-
That’s because Fran the man told us 50 times the weren’t guarding the perimeter except for gradey!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Coaches coach. Those that can’t go into broadcasting.
-
@BShark somebody needs to tell him to stop coaching on air! I can’t believe how much he effects my enjoyment of the game. I love Hanni and Gurley.
-
@BShark I’d like to hear Bruce, have you heard him?
-
This team has a tremendous amount of momentum going into conference. Since that loss, we have won every game by an average margin of 24.4 ppg. I think we’re built to win. The floor in conference is 14-4.
