Hahaha Vick was so bad on defense the refs couldn’t even call a foul on him.
-
Heck even Mr no defense Grimes had 4 fouls. Including a charge (or two?) at least he moved his feet occasionally.
-
It’s pick OUR poison with Vick, Grimes, and Moore. One or more always kills us.
-
@bigbad Makes Dok’s loss more glaring having to play so many subpar guards.

When one of them plays well you gotta roll with that one, not switch it up. Only one of the 3 might be remotely functional, so if it ain’t broke…
-
@approxinfinity What happened to Moore in the second half? Disappeared to the bench it seemed

Yeah, concerning. I really hope we see that version of Charles again.
-
Moore and Mitch were the only players that were good tonight. Devon was OK, but had too many turnovers and forced shots.
-
@Woodrow Freshmen point guards are tough to watch especially after the last couple years.

Better question is what happened to Mitch. Couldn’t even get off the bench 2nd half deposited his 1st half.

Hey, I’ve been thrilled with Dotson, all in all. Kid played tough tonight, it just wasn’t his best game.
Not Frank and Devonte sure. But damn good for a freshman.

I think Dotson is doing just enough to stick around in college.
I’ve talked about processing Moore but games like tonight give me some pause. KJ has gotta go if Dedric does though.
Too many Self doghouse players on this team.
I think Vick graduating will be major addition by subtraction.
-
@approxinfinity Dotson is great. Turnovers are not.
-
Man there were some silly charges in that one.
-
Dedric tonight showed why he has ZERO NBA ability. He will see guys Wade’s size with more speed every possession in the NBA. He isnt capable of getting a shot off against that. I bet he is back next year.
-
Dotson just needs to learn when to attack and when to back it out. He is in Attack mode all the time and it leads to turnovers and forced shots.

There are other places to make good money playing basketball professionally.
-
@approxinfinity In all fairness I did say freshman vs Sr and I stand by it. No comparison. Sr Graham or Sr Mason would pretty much single handedly destroy this team.
Freshman to freshman comp Dotson is better.
-
Vick has gotta be consuming all of Self’s brainpower right now. I wish he didn’t have to think about Vick and could focus on stuff like Dedric rolling over and sucking when getting muscled around, and Dotson’s turnovers, and Agbaji’s jitters, and Grimes uselessness.
I think he’s working on Grimes, little by little, but for the other guys, since things are going mostly right they might be getting ignored, when you have a SENIOR DUMPSTER FIRE FEATHERS-FOR-BRAINS MOBILE CLOWN SHOW THROWING UNFORCED PASSES INTO THE STANDS
So mad.
-
@truehawk93 sell them
-
First few games Vick was amazing. Now we see the don’t want him to come back Vick. Bipolar play
-
@kjayhawks some were charges
-
@Woodrow And that’s fine with me. I don’t really want him back any way. I’d be fine flushing everyone except Dotson, Agbaji, and Mitch. Those three actually go hard all the time.
-
@mayjay ice here
-
I came back. Svi traded to Pistons today.
-
Really?

This is what I suspect will happen with Dedric. Though I’d take him back in a second if KU can’t land Hurt or Precious.

He never played d and just was on a hot streak that you had to know wasn’t going to last.
-
Actually on Wikipedia already! Traded with a 2nd rd choice for Reggie Bullock. Says the Pistons are wanting to develop young talent, so he should play more.

So they have him and the American version Luke Kennard?
-
@BigBad Dunno. I haven’t followed the Pistons since Marcus was there for a few games, I think.
-
@mayjay heard he was traded, didn’t know where.
-
Gotta guard the corners better (Vick). Obviously Lawson can’t dribble through a quick team like K-State. Honestly, I think we win this game with Garrett. That way we get less turnovers, a more rested Dotson, and more assists. Guard play in defense was just not disciplined enough.

Good point re Garrett.
-
Would this team be better off in the long run had Vick not returned ?
-
@Blown i guess it depends on who would have gotten his scholarship
-
@Blown Doubtful with how Grimes, KJ and Ochai played especially in the second half. Its really disturbing to see our lone Senior play like that in a rivalry game.
-
Vick must have done something on the bench.
-
Looking at the boxscore its really on on the TOs, shot better and out rebounded them.
-
Self on benching Lagerald and if it was related to production: “There was other reasons why.”
-
@Crimsonorblue22 The biggest issue with this team is that there are not any upperclassmen spreading the culture. Self put Devonte on the phone for the Tech game pregame hype. Vick is our lone senior and he has had effort issues since day one. Not a great example for the young guys to follow.
-
Quentin Grimes: 2 baskets, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 steals, 5 turnovers, 4 fouls.
-
It wouldn’t surprise me at this point if Vick just up and leaves the team.
-
I have no doubt that we would be better off without Vick, had we recruited a top 40 shooter. We would have lost a couple more preconference games but we would have won today. And we wouldn’t have an idiot hothead hamming it up after made baskets instead of getting back to play d, and making no look passes to the 5th row with a road win within reach.
Mindnumbingly stupid. Done with Vick.
-
I think I’m getting more angry by the minute, KSU has completely owned us in most sports this year. Absolutely unacceptable.
-
Son of a sheep lover…this team. SO many turnovers. Jeebus. I’d say that was pretty much the game. The harsh realization is that we have nearly zero ballhandlers. Even Dotson struggles when pressed. Grimes is kinda comical he’s so bad. How that guy even got a scholarship at a major program…hmmm. Hoping he stays and shows massive improvement next year.
On the bright side, Our defense was impressive for awhile. Albeit against a previously offensively challenged K-State team. Zone! Where’d that come from? Self is an enigma this year. Why go away from the plan/players that were keeping us in the game? Mitch, Charlie, etc.
K State once again game planned Vick out of the game. Self needs to do a better job of getting his guys in position to score.
Vick was benched the second I started screaming at the TV for his complete lack of effort or give a shit on D. I’m assuming that’s why. Anybody know otherwise?
The top moment of the game? When Mitch and Charlie bonked heads in the lane. Sums it up nicely.
-
@mayjay That’s a good spot for him. He’ll carve out a larger role in Detroit.
-
@jayhawkcsg You should yell at the TV earlier.

We were basically down 2 starters friends and showed our youth at the guard spots. Let’s take out some anger on OSU Saturday.
There is also a major bone to pick with OSU after their sweep last year, first in the HCBS era.
