@BShark if that’s the excuse, then I’m concerned about March already.
I don’t see us resting Graham and more so Mason much.
We’ve got to see our inside game pick up some slack.
The problem with that is Lucas and Doke can’t create on their own and Bragg is a bit of a perimeter post player.
-
@BeddieKU23 Duke did it the entire game. JJ’s final foul was exactly that. Little wonder he was pissed. So was I.

its a 10 point game but the refs ruined a lot of momemtum.
josh had multiple plays taken away, Mason as well.
Defense was good for good stretches after that initial shootout.
Yeah I’m not too worried yet. This is a nice easy stretch to help the team coalesce.

@globaljaybird
I’m tired of Josh being punished for how good he is. This type of stuff won’t happen at the next level for him.
-
@BShark Self said Udoka can, but why aren’t we getting him the ball on the block?

It’s ridiculous.
-
@BShark you nailed that.
Lucas isn’t gonna get it
Azibuike will get it but is raw and the factor is learning timeline-this year or next, I’m pulling for his quick study
Bragg is the X-factor. We know he’s got mid range. Is he gonna become an inside player when a strong inside game is needed.

Doke is raw. He scored a few times against Duke but I don’t think it will be very sustainable this year. Obviously he can dunk so there is that.
-
Good to see Allen’s bs play addressed by ESPN.
-
Bragg can at least finish inside which we know Lucas is falling apart trying to do. Bragg showing why scouts love him
-
@brooksmd missed it

Yeah I have lots of hope for Bragg. People thinking he won’t be gone I think are in for a rude awakening. I think Preston committed because he knows he will start.

Yepppp. The bright side is as mentioned KU has a nice stretch of games leading up to OU to help figure stuff out while presumably winning most if not all of them.

We need to, but it was a lotta ugly last game if he wasn’t in close. I’m confident he’ll learn, too athletic not to, but I’m concerned he doesn’t have anyone to really show him. Will have to be tape of some ex players.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 The real BS was all he ever got was a reprimand. Never a suspension. Should’ve been tossed from each game.

It’sgoing to be pretty fun to watch Doke develop.
-
it would help if he puts himself in the right position to get the ball. he ran the floor like a deer on one play and could have gotten a lob off it. He’s a work in progress but can rebound pretty well already and he alters shots
-
need Danny back on staff to coach our bigs.
-
Bragg 10 points and 6 boards. Niiiiiiice first half.
-
-
if this team keeps progressing, a Bragg/Doke starting lineup is what would probably make this teams ceiling unstoppable
-
Oh and these announcers haha. Of course Vick and Svi are playing big minutes. Josh has fouls and the bench is not deep
-
Does Vick get FAA clearance before he goes up for jams?
-
Step to the ball
-
@BShark Did you see Minn vs Philly last nite-- Wiggs & Joel? They were having a blast…good friends. Wish we could get some of these whizz kids to stay in school long enough to roast 2 turkeys.
-
Time to put on the clamps
-
@globaljaybird CB tonite?
-
Lucas is a stud…said no Kubucketeer ever.
-
@brooksmd E & J
-
Missing wide open threes tonight
-
DUMB FOUL
-
Announcers didn’t realize JJ just picked up his 3rd foul.
-
Josh seems good at getting to the rim
-
Mason with another three point miss
-
@wissox Lucas is starting the season slowly, but he’ll come around and be a huge contributor.
-
we could avoid a lot of their junk points by doubling down on their center
-
@stoptheflop hopefully similar to last year
-
@BeddieKU23 Bill probably would think that is the easy way to defend it
-
I feel like Frank could jump over the average size guy
-
we have doubled in the past, not understanding why we are not trying to force the ball to someone else.

Bill is such a rascal. Self-imposed challenges are fun!
-
There we go…keep getting Udoka the ball
-
Doke smash
-
Who is guarding Wright? This is embarrassing
-
Udoka came into the game grabbing 50% of every available rebound in the first two games according to JNewell. The best rebounders at the end of the year are at 20%, He calls it the rebounding rate.
-
like I said yesterday this is a letdown game
-
Some defensive slides are in order tomorrow
-
its just the nature of the beast
-
we need a nice momentum 3 or dunk out this timeout? who gets it??
-
@BeddieKU23 Bragg missed it
