Worst Regular Season Losses in the Self Era
-
@approxinfinity lol, “This is the big one Elizabeth, I’m coming”
-
@StLJhawk Ah, another false alarm. Just indigestion.
-
All we needed was 5 minutes of keeping our heads up and hustling to blow past them.
For whatever reason our heads were hanging low until the end. Bad body language. It was really bad during that period where we didn’t score field goals.
It didn’t have to send us all into cardiac arrest if they would have just figured out to lift their heads earlier than the final 5 minutes! lol
There are lessons to be learned here and I think we have the perfect professor to teach them!
-
@drgnslayr There was a time where I worried that maybe this game could be used as a blueprint for other squads but I think you are right. It was all about KU’s energy. As soon as our D applied real pressure, they broke.
-
It helped when 2 of their guys shot 3’s with a lot of time on the clock!
-
Yeah they didn’t have good shot discipline there late but I recall them being good looks they didn’t make.
Thankfully they couldn’t make 3’s or our matador offense to shoot FT’s wouldn’t have worked
-
@Crimsonorblue22 and that 4 of their 5 starters got into foul trouble

Aggressive defense by the opposition appears to throw KU off its own game. It’s been a common thread in the last 3 games. The guys will see a lot more of it.

@Gorilla72 My concern was that Huggy would get ahold of this tape and the next meeting with WVU would put someone in the hospital.
-
@BeddieKU23 the clock was their friend! To bad, he liked us better!
-
When our energy turned up the last 5 minutes it broke their comfort zone that they had the entire game. Then they made mistakes leading to bad shots early in the clock and TOs.
We started to even put a tiny pressure on them in the back court. Makes me think we need to work harder on a full court press… it puts pressure to get them out of their comfort zone and it gets our guys juiced up!
One of the coolest aspects of basketball is watching the momentum shift!
-
@drgnslayr self has teased a full Court press a few times. Wonder if he’s saving it like the daunted triangle and 2.
-
Not watched this yet. Not sure I want too!!
-
@Gorilla72 well played with the reverse jinx
-
@Kubie Honestly, other than not hitting a shot for 12 minutes in the second half, it wasn’t that bad. If you bother to watch the entire game, look for any cheap fouls called on OU. I don’t remember any. They benefited from a couple blown out of bounds calls though.

Their gameplan was to foul constantly and dare the refs to call it, and then you have people on twitter complaining about the fouls called.
-
Not smart given the memo that went around to the Big-12 coaches about cracking down on physical play. KU also did a good job of forcing OU to foul them.
-
@BeddieKU23 KJ especially is so aggressive on drives and attacking the hoop it’s either foul him or get dunked on. Feels like Jalen drives hard to but doesn’t seem to get many calls.
-
Thought Jalen did a better job in the OU game of initiating contact that would get called. He basically gets fouled every time he touches the ball inside the arc and its insane its not called more. He’s just so much stronger this year and I think that’s played a part in why he doesn’t get calls.
-
Otz abusing Self sadly. ISU to be alone in 1st place.
-
Reverse psychology worked again lol
-
It’d be nice not to have to use this thread for a few games. Lol.
-
@benshawks08 But no one has had to use it since November!
-
Losing senior night? Wow Roy never did that shame on Bill.
