Game Day Chat room
-
Even the guarded shots haven’t been difficult
-
Put DeSousa and Garrett in and roll the dice. Jesus
-
why has self given direction to not shoot threes
-
The difference is they switch on every screen and have 5 guys capable of guarding the perimeter. We could too, but not with Doke. They are just completely out-scheming us right now. The issue is that they aren’t doing anything they haven’t done all tournament…
-
@DCHawker you cant prepare for a team shooting like that, no college team would be close if they shoot like that. The record is 13 3s made in a final four game, they have 12 with 3 minutes left in the first.
-
This is painful right now, Nova isn’t missing anything this half. Need some kind of junk defense to at least get the deficit to single digits before half.
-
This is unreal. Absolutely unreal.

They’re dictating pace, and their pace is faster than our pace. If we thought we going to disrupt their pace we were dead wrong, because they don’t need longer possessions when the corner three is always open. If we can’t stay in front of our man, and then can’t switch to get out on shooter, every posession in 10 seconds or less for them.
Guard play
-
Crazy that Nova with this hot shooting from 3 doesn’t have a bigger lead. Me likey
-
I’m hoping they come out flaccid as a 90 yo fresh outta viagra in the second half. It’s hard to hit 60% unguarded threes, let’s shore up that D and get back within striking distance.
-
No reason not to be all over these guys on defense. In their jerseys tight
-
Travel.
-
Shuffle shuffle dunk.
-
@kjayhawks Sure, you don’t expect them to make than high a %, but you can scheme to take away the 3 - or at least frigging contest it. Most of their shots have been open looks…
-
Wow that’s bullshit.
-
Gave up
-
That was a foul?
-
embarrassing. we anxiously awaited all week for this.
-
Graham the only guard playing D
-
terrible possessions. Back to back early 3s
-
“I love how Brunson throws shoulders into people to get space”
-
@Blown Like OU 2 years ago.
-
Felt like Bridges should have hit that.
-
Wellp. So… was the message to come out and have fun tonight? Not having any fun.
-
Bill has no idea what to do. The bad Ku defense has showed up for us.

How so Brunson schooled him about 10 times
-
they have to shoot a worse average second half…right?
-
I am perplexed how we have no ability to get a decent three point shot.
-
Well - -don’t even know what to say. - I mean when 39 out of your 47 points are of 3’s? - -13 - -3’s in a HALF? - there nuff said

A lot of it looked to be guys pressing to make plays being so far behind. No team ball and every 3 they make is deflating
-
@HighEliteMajor looks like they weren’t even trying until Newman and Graham decided to shoot transition 3s at the worst time
-
Don’t get why we don’t pick and pop with the guards
-
At 13 minutes we were down 18. Now we’re down 15. So we’ve held our own since then, even with the lights out shooting by 'Nova. Time for some halftime magic. Come out shooting and get back in it. Let it fly!
-
@HighEliteMajor At least 3 of our 6 attempts have been from about 24 feet. Only one that was a clean look at the line was DG from the corner and he missed it.
-
Good news, Sox just came back on Royals, oh, oops, sorry.
-
@wissox lol, wow man, just WOW
-
Always thought ‘nova was the best team in the tourney. Gonna have to earn this one with a 15 point hole. Damn, I was hoping to be clinging to a lead. Well at least we won’t see KU play not to lose tonight.
-
Yes they are hot…but most of those 3s have been wide open. No excuse for letting them get that far open.
-
When a team is in that kind of a zone there not much you can do, broke an Tournament record for 3 points made in the first half alone. 39 of their 47 points from 3. The question is…can they stay that hot? The half time breK might actually work against them…or not…
-
lots of crossed arms on the kansas broadcast

Wide open or covered they have hit the damn rhings
-
Well, we’ll see what we have coming out at half. 15 seems insurmountable against such a good team. But CBB is a crazy game. If we can get it to 10 by 15 minutes, then we’re in a position to chip away. Long shot, but the game isn’t over.
-
The constant car horn in the OnStar commercial made me think the game was back on with that crappy buzzer.
-
For all the talk of self changing he went with super obvious throw it to doke.
I’d go with lightfoot and play fast
-
We came back against OU I recall late many moons ago, down by 15 or something like that. We did vs. WVU. But now, we have 20 minutes. Better to be here, right now, than not in the FF.
-
Doke, show us you’re ready for the NBA and guard the goddam perimeter
-
@HighEliteMajor I hope Villanova plays as poorly as OU and WVU did in their respective second halves.
-
Who has the KU broadcast?

@JayHawkFanToo we went back to the “neutral coverage” for superstitious reasons.
