Kansas vs Duke Game Thread:
-
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.

Does who those 4 guards are matter?
-
@BShark I’m not so sure. The concern was how they would do on defense. Our defense didn’t suck. Duke shot only 36%. We just need to get it together on offense.

Sure. And we have 4 guards on this team plenty capable. Especially now that Enaruna has looked way better than I thought he would at this stage.
-
Give Tristan, Jalen and Braun all the minutes they can handle.
-
@tundrahok I agree I’ve been saying offense is the issue. If we had a guy that could consistently hit that Marcus Morris elbow midrange jumper it would be a different story.
I think Jalen and Tristan are promising at the 4. Wonder what direction Bill will go in.
