Dayton Game Thread
-
This could be one of the worst officiated half’s I’ve seen in a while, at least half of our fouls are laughable and about a dozen missed on them. Dave sucked very badly this half after a solid outing last night.
-
Anyone else tired of Dayton whining every time a call goes against them?
-
The officials were trash against Tech too. @kjayhawks
-
Good grief, our bench has only taken one shot
-
That long dry spell hurt.

We win this game if Doke stays out of foul trouble in the 2nd half.
-
@BShark Makes sense to me.
-
@Hawk8086 Offense was a lot better with Doke in the game. Passes that led to dunks/fouls with Doke frequently led to turnovers/missed shots with Silvio or Dave.
-
Dayton is 8/18 from 3, 47%; KU 2/6. We must defend the 3 better
-
There have been a few bad calls both ways but I feel like the 2nd foul on Doke had the biggest impact on the game. Mac has happy feet.
-
Pretty disappointing half and if Udoka keeps getting those fouls that have plagued him is entire career then I’m not sure we will have enough offense without him on the floor. Somebody has to step up and make a perimeter shot to open things up and the refs need to stop acting like 35 isnt fouling Dotson every time he comes around a screen

Besides the toppin 3 with a hand everything has been wide open
-
By the way, our point guard is playing pretty well. 6/8 FG, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals. He’s the best player in the game so far.
-
Doke is the most important player on KU’s roster. He has to play as much as possible
-
Ochai 1-7 that half. Need him or someone besides Dotson to step up and make some shots.
If they can’t guard the 3 better it probably won’t matter though.
-
When the refs target Doke like this he never adjusts. His 3rd and 4th fouls will be the same as the first half
-
KU’s overall strategy is fine. Make someone other than Toppin beat them and so far, UD has other guys stepping up.
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d tell him forget the offensive glass and get back, can’t have those fouls right now.

One of the worst calls I have seen in awhile.

I think if Doke wasn;t taken out of the game by that bad call KU is up by about 8 right now.
-
@BShark Ya very bad, very important call. Sucks but we move on.
-
Didn’t realize Dayton had won Maui before.
-
OH no
-
F this Ref
-
Welp. Gonna be tough sledding without Marcus
-
Doke screens are very effective for 4 guards.
Who says he doesn’t fit a modern O
-
Called that on Garrett, but not the reach on Dotson that did make contact with the arm?
-
Big 3
-
Another big 3 by Tristan

Doke is an amazing player ESPECIALLY in a 4 out. Imo it maximizes his strengths.
-
Dirty dayton

Another foul arm bar by 35

This is why I kept saying in the off-season that either McCormack or Silvio had to develop range to make a high-low work with Doke. Tristan is probably the best fit in that role for now.
-
Can we win if we continue to give them open 3s?
-
Big time play by Dotson on that short jumper
. Enaruna besides the 3 has done nothing all week. Kid cant hold onto the ball

Unfortunately we might have to find out.
-
Why do teams keep fronting Doke?
-
Obi taking over here. Gotta keep posting Doke up and go at him.
-
Freshman mistakes on back to back possessions

3rd best player in the tournament behind Edwards and Winston.
-
Defense is all out of sorts this half
-
Defend simple as that.
-
Can’t give up wide-open 3’s and expect to beat anyone.
-
If we can get to the point we are trading 3 for 4 instead of 3 for 2, feeding Doke can win it all.
-
The problem is that they can all shoot the 3 and Doke can’t defend out there.
-
Once again failing at simple defensive assignments. Let’s see if we fold here, Braun just isn’t ready to major D1 ball yet. He’s a liability on both ends.
-
That last possession was just great offense by Dayton.
-
Let’s try a 4-1 with De Sousa?
