But still…
-
What, no highlights andd handshake line…
-
@BShark put the b team in
-
Really happy for Legerald, warts and all. Absolutely need good Vick to be a factor this year.
-
Mahonnes still in…
-
Too many silly turnovers and missed FTs late, should’ve been a 15 point win. Rebounding was terrible the last 8 minutes.
-
@approxinfinity self knows it. Think they had a really good talk!
-
Take a road win and move along…coach them up
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Agree, it seems like they talked. He was calm this game, came in focused. Was there a report about a talk?
-
@approxinfinity no, just no dumb dribbling into crowds, etc

Player of 36 minutes. That last 4 minutes might have been his worst stretch of the season.
-
Did it look like they flopped a lot? Thought they were rough w/Dedric
-
Damn good effort for 36 minutes today, last 4 overall were worse than the ISU game.
-
as to FT%, apart from Grimes & Dotson, everyone else shot 50% or worse from the line…just edged out 3pt shooting % 59% to 56%…
-
What happened to dot on throws?
-
As @BShark pointed out, FGA disparity was crazy 75-44, almost 30 more for BU. Just wow
-
Rebound margin 50-31 a crazy -19 for KU and on the offensive RB side of the ledger.
-
Yeah that happens when there was little effort to rebound the ball.
-
In tight games we really dont have a player to count on for ft’s
-
@BeddieKU23 we did! D dot, Lawson’s and Vick too
-
@BeddieKU23 some of boards might be called fouls at other places?
-
Vick is terrible at the line and never gets there anyway. Dot is a freshman but normally is ok. Dedric is hit or miss. We certainly miss the svis, devonte and Frank’s of the world

True about 10 muggings missed.
-
Crazy bad as our FT% was, FT’s are what won the game for us. 3pt makes were even at 9. They actually had 1 more made FG overall than us. That leaves FT’s, where we got 27-15 attempt margin and made 16 vs their 9…they edged us by <1% in FT%.
Crazy statistical game
-
Today’s was Vick’s bday
-
Maybe he’ll get a passing game for it!
-
Or is that mean
-
@Bwag I’d say it’s a good thing
-
@Bwag If Tristan had played we may not have got any rebounds, and very well could have lost. Just pathetic!!!

Nah
-
Seriously we put in the B team, drew didnt, next time run up the score. Is that not what happened?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Could be. But why did we act like we were running the old four corners offense in the last four minutes? Not quite the way you teach your team to finish a game.

I’d send a picture of Bezos.

@Bwag @approxinfinity if he’s running point and brings the ball down, is that touch 1?
I think it is much worse than 'prox says. I am convinced Charlie thinks about stopping to shoot between every dribble, no matter where he is on the court–even after getting a defensive rebound. Heck, he probably think he should shoot when he catches an out of bounds ball while sitting on the bench.
-
Of course for the first 10 minutes we stopped them stone cold and grabbed every defensive rebound.

Bill’s fault.
-
@BShark Yeah, I think he took the blame, as well he should.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yep people forget that there run at the end started with Charlie, KJ and David on the floor. Dot missed 2 fts to start it aswell. I dont blame Self, we have a game Monday so getting guys out early and being able to keep them out would be been nice.
-
Well that was an interesting finish! Mother effer. A few things that stood out to me:
— That’s how to use Vick. Less dribbling, more spot up shooting. Even less dribbling would be better.
— Statistically Dotson looked good, but I thought he was a bit sloppy. Still love his ability to get to the hoop. His D was off too.
— 26 offensive rebounds for Baylor? That has to be a typo, or a World Record. Somebody call Guinness. Or the NCAA to get Silvio cleared.
— which brings me to PT for bigs other than D Lawson…about 20 minutes. Not much. Other guys have to man up and hit the boards.
— crazy stat line: fg/3pt/ft percentages all in the 50s. Odd.
— what did Mitch whisper in Self’s ear after he ran into dude’s head?
— I think we found a worse free throw shooter than Dok (Vital)
— ochai continues to impress. Looks good across the board. Was the initial red shirt Self’s worst decision since adding Anrio?
— it’s official: I have decided Grimes simply does not look like a basketball player. Maybe a slugging outfielder?

This is truly bizarre. Such a quick turnaround too, just his second game in and Self had him inbound the ball in crunch time.
The sample size is still extremely small but he looks really solid. Not going to take over a game at this point but just really solid. Somehow is ORTG went UP with the Baylor game, and it was 159 after his debut…
Which leads into Grimes. Watching them play, who would anyone think was the much higher recruit? It’s just kind of sad with Q at this point. I think he swallows his pride and comes back, but we will see.
Some of Q and Ochai’s stats are similar, but it’s how they get them and the fact that Ochai is MUCH better defensively. Now, obviously Ochai will not end up at 50% from three but it’s all the little things as well. Remarkable to see a FR so far along, let alone one that was taking a RS.
