Probably, but maybe not 60.

Fair enough. I Just have trouble with the “entitlement” vibe here sometimes. We can’t win em all.
Cool. I have a problem with our perimeter defense.
17 points so far in the 2nd half… I still think this team ends up being dominate defensively. My 1st half meltdown has been rescinded.
291st ranked team in 3-point defense. Got torched in the 1st half knowing that Marquette was going to shoot 3’s. Played better in the 2nd half. Good. Still a lot of work to do if they want to be a dominant defensive team.
Based on what? Percentage? I can find favorable stats. 3rd ranked Kenpom defense before the game. And I’ll go ahead and say it will still be ranked top 5 after holding a good offensive Marquette team to under 70 points.
Yes, based on 3-point percentage. As I’ve said for the 100th time now. And my complaint was about Kansas’ perimeter defense and opponent 3-point percentage. Thank you for finding KenPom stats for me, though.
Thanks for finding 3pt % for me.
I complained about opponents shooting 3’s against Kansas. I found opponents 3-point percentage against Kansas.
You found random KenPom stats. Good job I guess?
Its just simply not the only stat that matters for a defense as a whole. And I’d think after a 2nd half of clearly making the adjustment you’d see that? You’re right, we need to improve and do better on a consistent basis. But, we showed that we can. What did we allow, four 3s in the 2nd half? That wasn’t just cold shooting. That was good perimeter defense.
-
@Kcmatt7 The 2nd half was a very encouraging sign. I hope they keep it up!
-
I wasn’t complaining about our defense as a whole, I was specifically complaining about our 3-point defense. Before the game. During the game. After the game.
Yes, the perimeter defense was better in the 2nd half. I agree.
-
Dotson was extremely good tonight. He shut down Markus Howard completely in the 2nd half.
-
I would love to hear Selfs halftime “talk” . Going to assume there would be a lot of “bleeps”
-
@Kcmatt7 we allowed 10 attempts- that is the key. Cut their attempts by more than 50%.

I will say that I’m surprised Bill didn’t make it an emphasis this season (so far) after the Nova game.
-
When KU decides to guard they are scary good. When they don’t, they are very beatable.

This team will get better as the year goes on. This is typical of KU in November. KU will still win 30+ games, they will still win the regular season title, they will still be a 1 or 2 seed, they will still be in the KC region starting out in either Des Moines or Tulsa.
None of the issues with this team are things we haven’t seen from a Bill Self team just about every year in November.

Dotson was the MVP tonight, imo.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’d vote Dedric, but Dotson was very good.

This team should not struggle on either end at any time. Too much talent.
-

3 assists 2 blocks and just 1 turnover as well. Great game from Dedric.

He came to play tonight. And his rebounding is so good night in and night out that I probably don’t appreciate it enough.
I just thought Dotson was pesky on D all night long and made a ton of good decisions on O. His speed alone was responsible for at least 8 points tonight.
-
@Kcmatt7 Very excited about Dotson. Especially if we get 3 years.
-
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 do we win the Natl Championship? Do we have the talent to?
-
Who can explain Marcus Garrett’s shooting style? I’ve never seen a successful shooter with one shoulder away from the basket. Garrett doesn’t even try to square his shoulders. But, I like how active he is, just not his shots.
-
@Kcmatt7 and yet we have struggled at both ends at times. I do agree with @Texas-Hawk-10 that we will grow and continue to improve.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 It seemed the Roy Williams teams would sometimes come out in November and be as good as they were going to get all season. I like that Bill’s teams get better all season.
-
Go CLE
-
KU held Marquette to 21 points in the second half; did not score in the first 9 minutes or so. I call this very good defense.
-
Watching the Above the Rim feed. Not bad!
-
Dotson was a stud, but after all my doggin on Dedric so far, he kept cool and, somewhat Perrylike in its quietness, had a great game. I give him the mvp. Tho without Doke (as usual) we’d have been hurtin
-
I didn’t think Dok was a factor at all: 6 pts. 4 rbs and 0 blocks. I thought he should have been put back in during the last 2 min when the game was won just to get him back on track offensively. Dok’s defense was solid during the little time the refs allowed him play.
-
Doke on the bench all late first half, got our butts kicked. Doke playing hard all early second half, out scored them 22-0. Coincidence?

Doke is very important.

I believe both statements are true about every team in college basketball in November!
