@kjayhawks 11 turnovers in a game that went to OT. I’d like our chances playing Duke again…
Took really good care of the ball. - -I just can’t get over how much better Doke shot the ball from the line. - -I think him seeing this game you would think would have to help his confidence for the future. - -I mean still 5-8 but that’s a world of improvement for him

We are a couple of laughable calls against us vs Duke in 11-12 away from being 3 in a row. I will always remember that game for Bilas even calling out some of those trash calls. I like winning early in the season while some big improvements needed. Dayton is good but probably doesn’t play much better than that the rest of the year.
-
@kjayhawks Yea. I wish we had that kind of 3 ball. And I sure wish SDS would come around. Rooting for that young man.
-
@HighEliteMajor rip might not be good
-
Sick of toppins! Bilas
doke and d dot 
-
Standing ovation for Dotson and Doke . Hell of an effort and game.
-
The box score shows Moss played 36 minutes, only took one shot and had 0 points. Kind of reminds me of Grimes.
-
@stoptheflop Yes we need a lot more from him. Three players scored 78 of our points. GOOD THING!! Need more balance in the future to be really good.
-
Did he need to shoot today? Doke was 12-15 from the field. Dotson was 11-16. Garrett was 6-10. The game plan was clearly to throw the ball inside to Udoka. When we couldn’t, Dotson or Garrett would break down the defense and try to get a layup or get to the free-throw line. I’m glad Moss didn’t try to force anything today because he didn’t need to. He also had 0 turnovers and played decent defense.
Grimes probably would have tried to get his shots in today. And we probably would have lost because of it.
-
Elephant in the room – decision not to foul, up three, when the clock got under 7 seconds. You know, I can assure that this approach will cost us an exit from the NCAA tourney (right, it did, see 2013).
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Good point. I noticed yesterday Moss looked off balance on a few of his shots. He may be pretty decent if he will get his feet set, and not rush his shot. We are going to need him to contribute along with Ochai for a balanced offese.
-
@HighEliteMajor Agree. I can not understand why any defense would allow a 3 point try to tie when under 6 seconds. Was that the Michigan game?
-
@HighEliteMajor Agree. Have to foul then. Especially with an entire team of 3 pt shooters.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Agree on Moss. I didn’t see that he had any open looks. They refused to double Doke and guarded our guys on the perimeter. Mistake. I would have doubled Doke and forced him to kick it out.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yes, I did see Moss playing well on defense. I was just surprised he played 36 minutes.
-
Haha KSU got spanked by Bradley
-
Okie State popped the Orange by 14. Still unbeaten.
-
KSU lost by 13 to Bradley tonight.
-
@HighEliteMajor I was hoping we would try to foul, but maybe HCBS was leery of the 4 pt play or 3 FTs which can provide 2 pts and a putback opportunity. If the player trying to foul isn’t guarding exceptionally closely right before fouling, a quick shooter can get a shot away. And Dayton’s guys were very quick at it.
I still blame the Michigan game on the pouch punch by EJ, but I get your point.

Hopefully the guys are enjoying the time there. We don’t have a game til the 7th of December, it will be nice to get rest and time to improve.
