Gradey guarding Wheeler isn’t something I wanna see more of (aware it was off a switch).
Hoping at some point this team gets good enough defensively to not switch EVERYTHING. It has its benefits, especially with no bench, but man we get caught with some bad mismatches that we just shouldn’t let happen.

Some really solid d from freshman. Size matters
It’s nice for our size to actually show and make a difference- not a lot but don’t need huge but really glad to see all doing something.
-
@BShark he’s the key this year
Needs to look to score constantly
-
@benshawks08 seems like wit KJ in at least our 5 can switch everything which is a lot
-
@benshawks08 I hate switching!

@approxinfinity should have been playing all year through his awful and lost D
Or maybe getting better at practice has worked for him. Trust Bill?
I mentioned earlier today in a chat that this is a game where we can play Udeh/Zuby and not have it kill us. Mainly because Calipari stinks. Udeh would get put in the blender against say, Oklahoma.
-
@approxinfinity Gradey is really the big problem on switches from the starting 5.
-
@approxinfinity yeah practice helps I’m sure but he wouldn’t have been out there without Zuby injury
Looks like game has somewhat slowed down against him
-

I wouldn’t say constantly but he does have to show opponents he is willing. Don’t really want him being a volume guy.
-
Udeh is playing with a lot of motor. And that does a lot right now

Getting early Svi flashbacks watching him defend.
-
@BShark pretty good point. Oscars actually a good matchup for the freshmen because he really just does one thing. He does it well but it’s not like there’s anything complicated going on. Not a lot of decisions to make.
-
0 offensive rebounds given up to Kentucky at intermission is a happy statistic
-
@BShark he has to think before he moves, not instinct.
-
@BShark nah I disagree he’s gotta be looking- it will open things up.
Him scoring 6-8 here or there won’t change how he’s guarded
-
Have fun in the final four, Tennessee. (Just saw some highlights of that Texas game)

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU-UK Game Chat:
Hot take: MJ will eventually be a really good matchup 4. He’s not athletic or skilled enough to be a scoring 2 or 3 but is a bully with enough ability to be a problem
I thought MJ was supposed to be an athletic freak
Nah, he’s more of a bully with some skill
-
Juan and Udeh connecting better than they use to.
-
@kuballin10 sure he is. Only an inch-ish shorter than Jalen with a longer wingspan
-

Selden adjacent, but not quite as good.

Okie light up 46-32 on Ol Miss.
-
Missed some of the first half, any Bobby or joe minutes?
-
TCU would have coasted today if they were at full strength. Conference still lookin good though.
-
@benshawks08 Both

Joe airballed after a nice O rebound. Bobby has a bandaid on his face
-
But not much
-
Red panda is the
-
Didn’t Bobby have a bandaid last week?
-
@benshawks08 and oscars back bc hes not tall enough to play in the NBA. Udeh is.
At least with their game
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 feel like that pretty much always there.
-

Should be 4 years of Udeh fwiw. Centers without much skill are not in much demand.
-
Ugh. I’m afraid KSU is just like legit good and it annoys me.
-
@RockChalkinTexas Who is the big guy with Seth?

If wheeler isn’t playing that’s good for us. Doesn’t matter who is guarding him
-
@BShark sure i look forward to it
-

They are good, but it’s not easy being king of the hill

A center with skill dropped 48 and 17 on Denver today
-
@jessejayhawk Alphonso?
-
@benshawks08 they are. That’s why it’s okay we took them to OT in their place with 3 starters fouled out

Haven’t hit that wall yet…

Overall I agree but he cooked Gradey.
-
@BShark it wasn’t even hard for him. Just went right by.
-
Remember ISU a couple years ago… tore up everyone first matchup through the conference, then flamed out once everyone figured out how to beat them like a drum

Yeah skilled centers don’t even really play in college if they also have enough athleticism.
-
Gradey doesn’t usually play 2 bad halfs. Stay tuned
-
Watched Huggy beat up on Bruce Pearl
-
Got any early predictions where Jalen goes? I think lotto
-
@benshawks08 lol! Wonder what happened. Maybe he has stitches.
-
@approxinfinity late first round I’d say
️ with her
