So Something Is Up With Preston (Not Playing Tonight)
-
@HawkChamp Awful shot selection - esp. Graham and Newman.
-
This acts like they’ve never been coached the basics. Enough to make you pull your hair out. How atrocious
-
They have had wide open looks and have not converted and now there is no rebounding.
-
When do the coaches tell Newman to be smarter on those drives? Yes not going to score one on three. Good grief
-
@HawkChamp Wonder what they’ve been practicing. A bunch of 23 ft jumpers and out of control drives. Newman has been awful. No one has played well.
-
Svi is still unathletic, Graham is good but not great, Newman is delusional. Maybe Garrett can balance the team. Ugh, Vick still can’t play defense well enough.
-
Who is worse? Newman or Vick? I thought Newman would learn a thing or two from Frank Mason. Perhaps he’s just early Frank Mason right now.
-
@HawkChamp That’s what Frank Mason looked like for the better part of 3 seasons at Kansas. He really didn’t start figuring out how to drive and pass until pretty late into his ju lot season.
-
Newman has got to stop driving 1 on 3…
-
For not having any subs not looking to shabby, against a really tall team.
-
Where are our good shooters? This is a pathetic display of shooting. Wow
-
Garrett is a defensive revelation. Relefordation.
-
Atrocious shooting - outside of the big guys 5 dunks, we’re 18 of 59 from the field…
-
Malik!
-
Graham is no Mason when it comes to end of clock creation.
-
That’s where we miss Frank - Graham doesn’t have the same ability to drive and get his own shot off. End of possession plays will be an issue…
-
@DCHawker eh, that’s not the issue. It’s much larger than that.
-
Why does Azubuike not cover the backside for the rebound there? Look at where the shot is from. Azubuike was at the front of the rim!
-
Rock chalk!! Come on billy need another guy
-
That was way too close for comfort. The one positive is that KU can shoot poorly and still beat a quality opponent, this will not happen every time so the team better not get too cocky because next time it might not be so lucky.
-
That was ugly. We have a long way to go.

YA we do - - BUT on the other side of it - look at it this way we shoot 35% from the field, and Devonte go 3-14 from the filed -1-6 from 3 pt terrible from the free throw line - minus Preston, Really only 6 players tonight & STILL find a way to win.
We have just got to get Preston Back and hopefully get De-Sousa - get us some depth on that front line -Thankfully Doke didn’t get in foul trouble - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
We need Billy no question after tonight, Mitch got a steal that was batted into his lap in about 7minutes of play.
-
Missed you guys in chat. I think Malik will be better at hero ball if he adds a floater and better shot selection but Devonte might perfect the drive and kick.
-
Neither one will be Frank but they can each take half of him.
-
@KUSTEVE have to make open shots, which I thought is what these guys were good at.
-
Tiny update. Staff didn’t know about the car deal until today. He should be back shortly.
-
@FarmerJayhawk why should he be back soon?
-
Short answer, it’s a clerical thing with a temp tag on the car.
-
Man, watching cal in the post game interview. What a dick.
-
He always gripes about freshman but that’s all he wants.
-
@DanR so different than Self.
-
Bill Self says KU spent all day trying to get Billy Preston matter settled. “I’m proud of Billy. He was a great teammate on the bench. Our guys will rally around him. But certainly it was disappointing — very disappointing.”
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not Cal’s fault for having a young team, LOL

Great to hear.
-
I’d like to see Billy rally around the the team, instead of the team propping up Billy. Which seems to be the case over the wire.
-
-
Excellent news. Hopefully this will put a little fire under his hind quarters. We really need him.
-
De Sousa is starting to look now more like a must than a want…
