Because you’re a KU basketball fan. It has been much worse.
I turn 49 in a few weeks.

But this applies so very much to everyone else on this team.
Believe it or not, and I know most of you don't believe it because you think if a big has it by the basket, he should be able to dunk it like Dok did, but Dave has been 'on' more than rest of the team who doesn't get shit for shooting 30% ( or in Garrett's case, 16% ).
And we don't need him to be able to dunk like Dok. But we need him to be able to make a dunk from point blank with nobody within 5 feet of him. And then, when he misses, to be able to catch the ball instead of tipping it to the other team..

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
I swear to you Dave thought we were in man when Texas made the backdoor lob dunk. The previous possession he committed a terrible foul on a rebound. The very next possession he had arguably the worst turnover of the game.
The missed dunk...
The big missed front end miss on the FT...
Ugh. It was rough.

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
Our big man sent the game to OT, left the game in OT with 1:30 left and KU up 2 and was our 3rd leading scorer, while taking 9 shots.
Meanwhile Wilson, Agbaji and Garrett combine for 11-39 from the field and it's DMac's fault.
Love for some of you to sit down in a room with Bill Self and Jay Bilas and talk about your theories.
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
I’m not going to just pile it on Dave. Ochai needs to be an Alpha.
Dude had 3 points after halftime.
Continues to shoot 33% from the floor while taking a high volume of shots. He has got to start being more efficient or at the very least making more than 33% of wide open 3s.

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
I am sure Self would happily rely in someone else if they proved to be more reliable. Unfortunately no one else has. Garrett sucks at scoring. Agbaji and Braun disappear frequently. Wilson goes ice cold regularly.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:50 pmDave is fine in the right role.

DMac was the recipient of a good bounce and a bad decision by the UT defender. Whoever was standing there was making that play.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:52 pmOur big man sent the game to OT, left the game in OT with 1:30 left and KU up 2 and was our 3rd leading scorer, while taking 9 shots.

The offense dies when we run it through DMac against opponents he can't beat. Agbajo and Braun were spectators, watching McCormack struggle the 2nd half.
And can we fire KT and hire an assistant coach who is an elite teacher of free throws? Good grief, this has become a regular weakness.

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
He didn't send the game to overtime. If he'd been able to make one of several simple uncontested dunks there would have been no need for overtime. Comes up short in the biggest games. As I said earlier, I'm sure he's a great guy, but possibly worst big we've had in decades.

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
I’m grateful for a lot of what Dave does.
But having to have a touch inside the arc on every possession when we can otherwise spread out and drive, and it’s working?

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
Dave missed a dunk and had a really bad turnover late in the game.
He also had 12 points, sent the game into OT, had a clutch assist to start OT, and left the game with KU on top.
Garrett misses a game tying lay in and goes 2-12.
Wilson misses a game tying lay in, key free throws and goes 4-12.
Ochai misses an open jumper from 15 feet, misses a 3 pointer with 30 seconds left, and goes 5-15.
It's all on soft Dave tho.

0:08 David McCormack made Layup. 66 - 66
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
No, it's not all on him. Braun disappeared. Agbaji disappeared. Garrett sucked even worse than usual. Wilson went cold again. It takes a collective effort to choke a 14 point lead.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:57 pm Dave missed a dunk and had a really bad turnover late in the game.

Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
I wouldn't put too much into Dave sending the game to OT. I'd like to think Mitch, even Gethro, could have sent the game to OT when Sims bails out to block the shot leaving Andrew Jones as the only guy to protect against an offensive rebound. Its not like they threw it in to him and he made a move to get the 2 points, lol.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:52 pmOur big man sent the game to OT, left the game in OT with 1:30 left and KU up 2 and was our 3rd leading scorer, while taking 9 shots.

KU scored as many points in 10 minutes with Wilson at the 5 as they did the other 35.
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
A garbage layup.
He also cost his team by dumb foul after dumb foul.
