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!

@kuballin10 said in KU-UK Game Chat:
@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?
-
@BShark said in KU-UK Game Chat:
Gradey guarding Wheeler isn’t something I wanna see more of (aware it was off a switch).
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
-
@approxinfinity early 2nd
