Kansas vs Duke Game Thread:
-
Shocked Dave is still out there
-
Can’t even make a layup
-
I miss Mitch.
-
What the f are we shooting a 2 here for
-
Good job good effort
-
Just a very very average team
-
Enanura Braun Jalen Agbaji Dotson. Shoot a 3
-
No way this is a Final 4 team no way.
-
Duke sucks. But we got a lot of work to do.
-
You guys are nuts. We are so much better than this Duke team once we figure it out.
-
We have nobody that can make a shot again

Very much agree with this.
-
Doke and Silvio haven’t played in a year
-
Hard to believe we looked this bad not starting a single freshman.
Have to be smarter and shoot 3s better. It is that simple. Athleticism isn’t the issue.
-
Silvio was better two years ago than he is now, based on this game.
-
Our issues are fixable.
-
Bill needs to start recruiting bigs that can shoot.
-
@DanR how can you tell? he barely played.
-
We have zero shooters
-
Moss
-
Post-mortems: death from a 1000 cuts and inability to get offensive flow.

He did. One plays for the other team. And Wilson just isn’t ready.
-
We only took 11 threes. Wow.
-
Oh well. F Duke.

True, true.
-
With 28 turnovers you don’t get to shoot many threes
-
I’m pissed, Jones is the player better than Dotson. Dook has better players and a better coach.

Bill “no analytics will change the way I play the game even if I make a FF with four guards” Self
-
@kjayhawks whoa! U can have him!

no

I don’t think we can blame the Duke whistle on this one. Duke is ranked 3 in the country. Maybe the pollsters are right and we just lost to a really good team in our first outing of the season?
-
Didn’t seem to have a 3pt shooter on the floor - or ability to get someone open on the wing to take the shot.
-
@kjayhawks Have fun watching Duke this year. Come back when they’re a round of 32 out and Kansas is rolling.
-
@wissox Yes, but we were our own worst enemy.

Honestly both teams looked bad to me. I want to see this KU team with a truly healthy Dotson (he was clearly still hobbled a bit) and Moss in the mix as well.

I refuse to believe this watching the game. We shot ourselves in the foot 20 times tonight.
-
@Kcmatt7 Good news is we had a lot of correctable errors.
-
@BShark I forgot Dotson is still hurt. That’s comforting.
-
Modern basketball 1-0-1, you have to make and guard the 3.
-
@BShark Yes…Moss should help. We need another outside threat.
-
Dotson is clearly not 100%, but running the hi-lo offense through Big Dave ain’t going to do it either.
Guys were practically running into each other on offense.

He was getting by guys at times still but you could really tell he wasn’t right. Rest up and get a W on Friday.
-
This team is going to steamroll people once they’re healthy and develop chemistry. Calm down people.
-
@approxinfinity right lol because Jones made Dotson look foolish repeatedly I’m a Dook fan right. You from Missouri?

I’m very over playing 2 5s at the same time.
-
@BShark me too!
-
@BShark hasn’t worked in years, 16-18 was great with four guards.

FF with four guards and Bill writes it off immediately
-
4 guards that can shoot with Doke only got us a final four, who knows.

The problem, at least as I see it is playing two true centers specifically. Guys with no range at all. We have the pieces to put legit size out there at the 4 spot without completely sacrificing spacing which makes it even more frustrating.
