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

Elmarko was solid on Tuesday but he had several silly fouls and not so good shots today

@approxinfinity 17 point swing in about 5 minutes of game time is t good. For some reason we can’t play defense with DP on the floor. Looks like another court storming in bound

My god we was up 8 I went and made lunch and we are down 9

Stupid move but you have to touch them for it to be a foul

For the 3rd year in a row half or nearly half of the CFB teams in the playoff are SEC teams and they won’t win the title. Maybe the Media is wrong and they really are not head and shoulders above everyone else.

I wish! haha... I wish I looked like this:

Stares Mother F**kerly haha

Missouri gets their first win in Rupp arena last night. Guys and Gals this Kentucky team is B-A-D

I think that Houston game really broke us last season. It’s a coin flip as to which is a bigger collapse. We had the ball at line for a 1 and 1 with 10 seconds to go in that one up by 6. I get so frustrated looking at online post where people that didn’t even watch the game blame the refs as well the TCU fans listening to Fran. Does anyone else watch him call other games? Is that critical of everything in those games. I’m sorry but 3 turnovers and 3 1 &1 missed in the final 1:34 seems like you would have to take some of then ownership of the loss.

@approxinfinity I would’ve gave him a big hug and told him in his ear. “That last 5 minutes is what you have always been capable of son, let’s see it from here on out”

To me as long as DP continues to play some amount of minutes each game, we will continue to improve when he is on the floor.
