He played well. I think 8 points?
-
Silky smooth scorer, a natural
-
Breaks rims. can’t shoot a FT unless Jesus took the wheel

-
@BeddieKU23 LOL…I just burst out laughing at work, and they’re looking at me now…hehehehehe…

Glad to provide some entertainment. Your Colin Kap one’s last week had me in a similar situation at work
-
Yeah hack a doke can definitely be a thing.

In all seriousness he’s the worst FT shooter we’ve ever had. There isn’t anything that can change that unless they find a different motion. We have to hope he makes a good % of his shots before being fouled.

A definite concern late in the game.
Stastically Lightfoot was even worse, we’ll see if that was just a product of sporadic minutes
-
@Red.Rooster With a good case of Alzheimer’s … my tag line is more close to the truth than I Want to admit.

Catch 22 because he will be needed for defense. Can you foul away from the ball in college ball and not have it be intentional? I’m honestly not 100% sure.
-
Really can’t get much of a feel from anything today. - -These guys were like ummm really bad. If coach would of stayed with the first five or not let up and played the walk on’s and transfers it could of been 60- 70 pt win. - -you can’t tell much with these kind of games
They were turning the ball over almost every other time down the floor for 3/4 of the game, before Coach set the top 7. had to laugh at half they interviewed one of the promoters of the Event I think - -he says - -yes you have a Kid from Africa - -he says - -he broke our basketball rim lol, – They were saying after that in the 2nd half Greg Gurly - -Udoka got the message cause two straight trips where he could of power slammed it again but he just layed it up soft off the rim lol - -Man does his free throw shooting suck. - -They gonna hack the hell out of him if he gets away make him make them from the line Some how , some way he has got to improve this pct.
Sounds like Newman is gonna be fine, - -Preston gonna be ok - -we shall see - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Cunliffe
-
I know it’s just an exhibition but Cunliffe and KJ both looked like what I expected.
Let’s see if they can turn it around.
-
@BShark I mean, those guys would start at most programs and they will be coming off the bench here… Not a lot of other teams get to bring two top 75 guys like that off the bench.
Not to mention they are both still a matchup nightmare at the stretch 4.
-
Is there a place to watch the game later? I had to work…
-
Hopefully YouTube will have the video soon.

If they are willing to get dirty down low. Not sure Cunliffe is.
But fair enough of a point.
-
@BShark Another way to think about it, we don’t need either of them to play this year (not that KJ could) between Garrett, Lightfoot and Svi. We are pretty solid 1-8 it seems. I’m more than ok with Cunliffe being our 9th guy…
-
@BShark 9 assts for Devonte…Booyah!

Could definitely do worse. He won’t be happy if he is buried on the bench obviously, but it seems like Garrett is ahead of him.
-
@BShark He is kind of stuck… Can’t transfer again until he graduates. Which he is 2 years away from.

Unofficial score box
-
Link to game report at KU website.
-
@JayHawkFanToo They’re off by 7 points on the Italy team.
-
This is why it was labeled “unofficial.” It is also off in the total time; looks like they left a player off
-
@JayHawkFanToo but is it actually official that it’s unofficial?
-
As officially unofficial as it gets.
-
Well, at least it looks like Doke has healed pretty nicely. His wrist must be in great shape for him to try to rip down the rim.
-
I was able to listen to some of it and watch some highlights, Doke had some nice dunks as Self said but a dunk isn’t scoring with his back to the bucket or with someone between him and the bucket, his best stat maybe 0 fouls 13 minutes. Garrett seems like a gamer he just has to settle in , had 4 fouls. DG did what he does with good passing, 9 assists with 14 points. Newman looked like the guy that we thought he would be a volume scorer. Svi was decent, Vick really didnt look all that great, he still seems to be sped up most the time. Preston will be starting over Lightfoot by mid season if that long. Moore looked like a scoring PG. just some quick hits of what i picked up.
-
Svi will start when the season starts, Svi will be starting. Only reason Vick is starting right now is because Svi was in Greece with his national team and not practicing with KU like Vick was.

Some highlight videos of the KU players here.
-
About ready for the 2nd game.
-
So this sequence from Garrett is exactly what he is all about.
Drives and hits Svi with a pass. Svi misses. Garrett rebounds it, puts it back in with an and one. Garrett misses the free throw but gets his own rebound.
Kid is a junkyard dog.
-
Garrett with the swipe and score.
-
I might have been wrong about Garrett’s playing time this year. So many intangibles. We will see.
-
Much better effort from the team today.
-
@BShark they are raving about garrett on ku sports…wish i could watch…sigh…
-
Cunliffe, airballed a 3. Not a good start to his career

Fine with that. Marcus just knows how to play the game
-
Allright, Allright, Allright. Let’s go Hawks. I officially retired on 7-28 but missed hearing the game yesterday. I wish we could watch without having to pay the FLOP. Listening on IMG Jayhawk radio. We just went on a 20-0 run. Excited for the team!

Yep. Garrett is a basketball player. Cunliffe is an athlete playing basketball (I said this when he transferred to KU as well).

well that’s a dumb play.

Malik “long two” Newman? At least he made it.
