Washburn

@approxinfinity KJ has no minutes to lose
-
So who starts Tuesday?
-
Rock chalk! I see potential. Could be a number one team at some point.
-
I’d go Dotson, Grimes, Vick, Dedric, Doke
-
@DanR you think he’s not gonna see the floor against Sparty?
-
@approxinfinity hell no.
-
@DanR ok! we’ll see, I think he gets obligatory minutes, even if its like 2 minutes. I hope you’re right.
-
Langford was 4/12 field goals in 31 minutes during an exhibition victory over a Southern Indiana. 4 rebounds and 1 assist. 5 turnovers. This Buckets group would have crucified him…
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Agreed. I could see Moore getting it over Dotson though.
-
I’d like to see the 5 of Moore, Dotson, Grimes, Garrett, Dedric play some.
-
Dedric, Doke, Vick, Garrett/Grimes, Dotson. Subs Charlie and Lightfoot. MAYBE a couple hustle minutes for KJ. McCormick if we run into foul trouble.

Ochia in 2 years under Hudy will be a beast. He has that type of build that will fill out easily.
He’s already a freak athletically too. I can see why Self has been gushing over him.
-
@BShark yep! That block was nice
-
@Gorilla72 I don’t think we’re too hard on them. We were hard on KJ, but he sucked. Just want to see some growth.
-
I heard a big part of not getting Sam Williamson is that the staff thinks Agbaji will be a factor next year, maybe start. I think we are far enough removed from his commitment now that it won’t read like sour grapes.
-
YOU GUYS DOKE WAS 5/6 FROM THE LINE.
-
Look at all these weird fans behind the announcers.

Where is our frigging touch on the passes. I can pass better than this any day.

thats not a TV thats a mirror!

I too am very intrigued with how Self handles KJ. We already know his dad is kind of a loud mouth and there are the two younger brothers. Will be very interesting.
-
@jayballer73 Yeah the passing game was just awful for about 2/3 of the game.
-
Question of the night…how did Washburn get Steve Nash to coach the team?
…yes, I know it’s Brett Ballard but he is a dead ringer for Steve Nash.
-
@KUSTEVE KJ will be better , he is just struggling right now- - he will get better - -looks like he is just pressing/forcing right now - -But not real worried right now. - Not sure just how many minutes he getes but think he will be fine. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I think we goona see D Lawson – - Udoka - - - Vick - - Grimes – & Devon to start
-
DMac with 7 rebs eh.
-
Does anyone have a KenPom subscription? Interested as to what he predicts for the score on Tuesday.
-
Pretty poor first half and much better second half. Dedrick and Vick great from 3, Dedrick 4-4 and Vick 4-7. Lots of options and looked like Coach Self was testing all kinds of combinations and once the rotation is settled the team will be much better.
Biggest story of the night…after missing the first FT Doke makes the next 5 to finish 5-6 from the line…hopefully it is a trend and the “poke-a-Doke” is history.
-
There was definitely more energy and more focus the second half. Much more concerted effort to set Dok up in the post and it showed. Grimes and Dotson are going to be fantastic - again, they just need time to adjust and learn. Plus, as Ballard said in his post-game interview, Self did not run much of anything, “vanilla”, IIRC. Hoping for a win Tuesday but not expecting it due to so many new pieces.
-
Been out tonight. How’d we do?
-
@wissox First 25 minutes were total garbage. Then we snapped out of it.
-
@approxinfinity I had just seen the total garbage part of the thread above. Thought I had accidentally gotten on a Missouri thread.
-
@wissox Yeah Lagerald settled us down, was it 5 threes?, and Moore was on the floor when we settled down as well. Also, Doke 5/6 from foul line.
-
This is the first I’ve seen Mccormack interviewed. Seems like a good kid.
-
We watched the same 5 commercials about 30 times.
-
Aren’t we glad Vick decided to come back?
-
Our guard play is still sloppy as can be. MSU will be tough because they have experienced guards and that could be what beats us at this point in the season.

Dave and Ochai will be fan favorites before it’s all said and done.

-
Ballard actually said in post game that the refs let them just mug KU’s bigs.
-
Keegan’s last article?
-
Self SMACKS Keegan…LMAO…
-
Hmm they just showed a clip of KJ talking to Self on the sideline. KJ was very attentive, engaged and animated communicating with Self. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it’s mostly nerves.

Elijah Elliott is going to RS. 5 year walk-on hyyype.

Odds he gets real minutes at some point?

Two major things from the exhibition games I think and am sure most will agree is - - -the main thing - -we just HAVE to get control of is the turnovers- - -42 turnover’s equals 21 per - -that is not going to get it, just got to get that in check. - -The other observation/ take is - – MAN Udoka looks so much better shooting in his touch shooting free throws.
What I think about the possibility of Redshirts is – our boy from KC can’t spell his name and he will be nice - -but I think the possibility of him then Redshirting is very possible - - THEN , maybe – maybe Lightfoot is the other possibility. – I mean actually if would benefit Mitch to and could be in the end run- -I think the way our recruiting Is going for us - -he could help us more next year then this year. - -Especially if we end up missing on Hurt too then He would for sure help is more next yr we shall see - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 Yeah the turnovers are bad. So many were just sloppy play or not having much experience playing with who you are playing with. One stood out to me where Grimes made an anticipation pass to Dotson but Dotson went the opposite way.
