KU away at Lizard Lair Game Thread
-
Vick wide open by a mile
-
We’ve recovered quite abit from our 1/13 shooting start
-
Lucas and vick hugggeee
-
Wow quick whistle much tougher refs
-
Lucas is a man tonight, mostly.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 he’ll pull it together.
-
Can’t get that foul back
-
How about LL tonight
-
Bogus calls
-
We definitely played optional defense so far
-
From 1-13 to almost 50 in a half.
-
So pleased how we played without Jackson. Guy better get his head on for the 2nd half
-
Meanwhile the KSU UT game is almost over and has a similar score.
-
Bragg and Landen playing tough tonight
-
We came back, and started playing composed. They won’t shoot 3s like that the 2nd half.
-
Fun half. Boy, our offense got going in the last 10 minutes. I hope our defense improves.
-
@HawkChamp Lucas has 10 rebounds in the first half. Bragg has 6. Pretty studly.

-
Turrible and KSU isn’t much better.
-
@tundrahok definitely
-
lucas looks great. We’ve been waiting for this all year.

He actually made some bunnies. The rebounds were huge, 2nd chance points kept us in it
-
@BeddieKU23 It’s their game of the year…first sellout in their history??? So, we can’t cakewalk it- we have to play tough…
-
TCU shot 5/8 from 3; 63.5%. That’s got to change.
-
@BeddieKU23 2nd chance points didn’t start coming until about the last 10 minutes. And we needed them.

If it wasn’t for 6 or 7 3s off catch and shoot situations tcu didn’t do jack.

@stoptheflop Defense Defense Defense
-
FT %
87.5%
-
@stoptheflop Svi and Lagerald have got to stay out on the shooters and stop leaving them open

Alot of the problem is Robinson or fisher getting the lane and throwing the pass out from under the hoop putting the guards in a tough situation
We are not guarding the pick and roll well and that’s where almost every basket tcu has got is off some type of action with a pick that is setting up a shot in rhythm
-
Out rebounded the frogs, 21 to 14. Lucaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas with 10 boards.
-
Some numbers here, Frank with 12 as well as Vick. We are leading on the glass 21 to 14 while shooting 50% from the field which is impressive considering starting 1 for 13. Giving up 48% shooting which has to improve as well as giving up 13 foul shots for us to win.
-
@Bwag our offense and rebounding has been solid. Defense - not so much
-
The rest of the league looks tough. Would never have guessed at the beginning of the season. Before the season I would’ve taken KU over the field. Now I think I’d take the field.
-
Officiating has been pretty inconsistent so far. Calling everything for TCU early, then KU, then inconsistent both ways.
Also nice to see KU finish 17 of 27 from the field after that 1/9 start. Pick up the defense like they did from about the 1o minute to 5 minute mark and KU wins this one comfortably.
-
@BeddieKU23 but when they drive there is already one or two defenders on him. No need for more help - make them shoot a tough shot over the top
-
@HawkChamp I noticed you didn’t add Bragg in that list…his guy hit 4 (?) from outside. But what do you do in that scenario when you don’t have much heigth inside…
-
Oh yes they brought their own zebras tonight
-
@BShark
Shakas team layin an egg 
in da little (road) 
tonight. I love 
️ it!
-
I hate the color of that floor.
-
Your right it’s breakdowns at multiple levels but neither mason or Graham is stopping penetration and our bigs are not hedging so far to disrupt the flow of the play
-
@Bwag the man guarding the driver has to play great D by himself ala Chalmers and Robinson. So far, our guys have given up ground quickly while the driver goes by them - have to be quicker and cut him off
-
@globaljaybird Shaka has run them into the ground. Not sure what 's going on down there in Austin.
-
As you pointed out in your thread about conference play, the defense has been suspect and it’s carried over to this game
-
@BShark Hope KSU is turrible next week. I’ll be at the game. My first trip to AFH in over 50 yrs.
-
@Bwag I’m loving it
-
@jessejayhawk Enjoy…
-
@HawkChamp Very true…
Guess we don’t have the inside defense that can collapse and or erase the drive…That would allow our perimeter players to not shade in so much, so far…
-
@HawkChamp When that driver gets over the front foot of the defender he’s gone Almost always scores or gets fouled
