Washburn

@DanR lol
-
What if this team is actually bad?
-
@BShark which one? Both?
-
Man we have no identity yet.

KU. Washburn will be okay at their level. This is an embarrassing start.
-
Simple. Bill will shorten the rotation until they’re not bad. Too much talent to not have 5 guys at least that can play together
-
I’m foreseeing an Oubre siting for grimes at some point. The athletic freaks that come here get broken down by self early then usually come around. Grimes better respond!
-
We’re on pace to score about 55 points. I think we’ll be OK.
-
Moore gets obliterated on D but bailed out by the post, then hits a three. LOL
-
Not seeing the high low yet and perhaps Self is holding it for Tuesday. I really think self will run a bunch of it with Lawson/doke
-
I wish Doke grew up playing volleyball.
-
Doke had Vick WIDE open on the wing. Jeeeez
-
Yep he should have blocked that one
-
Hope we see Lawson at 5 at some point.
-
And we got it
-
Hmm doke fts look not awful
-
This will be a year self has to coach his ass off just to meet normal expectations(big 12 title and 30ish wins) yet the nation has the ultimate expectations(#1 rank).

Agree. He might get good rotations figured out or he might just keep throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks. There is some talent here so hopefully things start to become cohesive but this team is absolutely going to take some lumps early on, starting on Tuesday.
-
No COY expectations
-
If I didn’t call out that Mitch rolled on floor with ball would that make me as bad as a Duke fan?
-
@approxinfinity he did not trip anyone, so you’re good
-
@DanR sound logic!
-
When Self coached team USA didn’t Grimes shoot the ball really well?
-
Lord this is ugly
-
Hope Self has fun with this game tape

Half the games he was good, the other half were really bad.
-
Charlie is going to start for a bit. Dotson is not ready for the speed of the game.

Truly awful!
-
I recall the two exhibition games when Wiggins and Selden were freshmen, we looked really horrid, then played Duke in the champions classic and it was like an entirely different team.
-
Guys leaving early sucks. Grimes/Dotson could develop into rush/charmers but won’t get chance. Remember how bad Mario struggled early his freshman year?
-
honestly if a couple more threes had dropped, we don’t look quite as bad
-
This Washburn team really has my son worried
-
@DanR I’m more concerned with the D and lack of confidence in taking shots. Add in just simply not being ready to shoot. Guys making the easy pass to the wide open guy and they pass up a shot because they weren’t ready to catch and shoot.
-
That is why Senior Vick matters
-
@Kcmatt7 1/3 of the last wide open threes. They were ready to shoot
-
KJ is kind of butt
-
10 turnovers… yuk
-
I’d love to know if the week before the last exhibition game is a REALLY REALLY tough practice week for the guys. I’d bet Self kills them and sees who responds but it leads to dead legs for this game. Then he lets up for the big game next week and concentrates more on mental stuff.
-
@BigBad good point. They do all look pretty dead
-
@Kcmatt7 yeah… Sample size grows KJ remains butt…
-
Vick loves kicks!

He has not done anything for me yet.

Dotson should be around for awhile.

How old is your kiddo?

Self is disappointed

Well said. I noticed that a lot as well. Need more confidence!
-
We look like crap so far.
-
I know it’s only a game and a half of exhibitions but I don’t see a lottery pick in Grimes right now.

More than anything, he looks either lost or not giving 100%. Neither is a good thing.

My eyes told me this when watching him at Memphis, but then we heard so many good things from around the program. Hopefully he gets it going.
