Merry Christmas friends

Not so fun with the box score!

FGs

Tre White — a shocking 1-3

Melvin Council — a not so shocking 4-13

Elmarko Jackson — a pleasing 4-9

Box score invisibility

Bryson Tiller — did he even play?

Jayden Dawson — I thought in the summer he was an obvious starter. Maybe now losing playing time. He seems brain dead.

FTs

KU — 15-21

UConn — 6-8

That’s a winning formula. What the heck happened??

Starters played too many minutes and we didn’t rebound

@approxinfinity @drgnslayr @nuleafjhawk thats the issue it’s not about academics, tradition, hell id even argue it has much less to do with basketball. It’s about money and only money for most. I bet 90% of our roster would go elsewhere for more money tomorrow. AFH isn’t the problem, I was told by several people the atmosphere was top tier Tuesday evening. One of two things is going on either we aren’t good at evaluating talent and are paying the wrong guys. Or we don’t have NIL to compete with the UConn, Duke, UNC and several others. I’ve gone back and forth with which it is, Most likely a little of both. Let me ask ya’ll outside of the last few seasons, when has Kansas not had hands down the best roster in the conference? How about a top 5-10 roster in the Country? I’m not sure I can remember not having hands down the best team in the conference since its inception before 2024. Id trade our roster all day for Duke or UNC prob Houston or Arizona maybe BYU.

The better team won. misery had a lead for a little while because they dominated the glass. They were able to get 2nd/3rd chance points, frustrate us into playing tight, and keep us from having the ball. But then we remembered how to rebound and it was over.

Remember at half time when I said if we rebound it’s a 20 point game?

Saddest stat of the season so far….. Darryn Peterson has played a grand total of 22 minutes in AFH.

DP played 32 minutes last night and hit some very clutch FTs. Everyone criticizing him should be on here singing his praises. I believe in accountability but also believe in a pat on the behind. Great game DP, let’s keep it going young fella!

Hey we beat Missouri’s A$$ this afternoon

Need to lock the guards in the gym over Christmas break and do nothing but layups and 3s.

Kinda frustrating that Jason Bean may not get a chance in Indy. They are going to sign 44 year Phillip Rivers to play. Seems pretty silly to me, you got a young that could have future or an old guy that is years past his prime

Switching 5 needs to change at this point if Bill and this staff can’t see that, we need to move on from them. We are looking like a bubble team with the number 1 recruit. Either way you slice it, it’s unacceptable. Offensively we ain’t that bad just need to move ball better.

@DCHawker to me it starts with the scheme we have been switching 5 now since I believe since 21. It worked out in 2022 mainly because of personal. It hasn’t worked but 1 time in 5 years. In 22 we basically started 4 guards and big Dave. Dave was a great ball screen defender as a senior. I honestly think we give up 50 points a game off of two things. First a big gets on a guard, they easily beat them off the dribble for a layup. Secondly a guard gets switched on a big and post them up for easy points against a guy that’s half their size in the post. To me it is a lazy ass way to play defense for guys that aren’t skilled enough to keep guys in front of them or just plain laziness.

Yeah i dont know. I think a little more Mari and a little less Marko could have helped.

our on ball defense was pathetic for large stretches. Kudos to WV exploiting it. Just, so many holes in this game.

Marko is becoming the next Self love fest player that never does anything wrong and will not get pulled outta of the game no matter what. Tuesday he played great defense and turned the tide no question. But he has been terrible 99% of the time this season. The biggest pieces moving forward maybe Flory, Tiller and Dawson. Those guys are complete wild cards most games. Everyone else we got a good idea of what we will get on the average night.

@rockchalkjayhawk I seriously would play him more going forward with his size. Tiller will be great just will take 2 or 3 years to get there. If only hunt had one more year, he’d great with this bunch. I think Bill thought Flory would better than what he is, which is very scrawny and under sized.

@Tallturd1 can we get a G league big that can rebound?

Rebounding was the issue today our bigs just standing and watching. Played for 45 minutes collectively finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Individually that would be fine but as 3 guys that’s an inefficient line imo

We are gonna average letting up 90 plus points in B12 play.

Big travel with no call. Well poopy Saturdays have not been fun here lately

Feel like our bigs don’t do anything 90% of the time.

Guy literally two hand pushes Dawson for that rebound
