Yeah, blown lead really stings.
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
And we just kissed our streak of 20 win seasons goodbye.
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
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% ).

He is 100% dependant on match up. He does not have the skill to beat a better player and his twitchy mental makeup makes him prone to melt downs like this.

Granted, KU didn’t score after Dave went out of the game.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:36 pm 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.
Then again, this is why many of us are so hard on him.
Dave is hyped as our best player and wilts over and over in the games biggest moments.

Gurley is going off right now.
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
Bill and Soft Dave blew this one. If McCormack made just one of his multiple uncontested dunks we win. I'm sure he's a great person, but I can't wait until he's gone. So soft and weak, despite his size and obvious ability.

I am going to stay up for the post game interview
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
I’m struggling how a 18-10 team is a 4-5 seed, regardless of resume.

Dave loses us possessions that don't show up in the numbers. A ton of them.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:44 pmBut this applies so very much to everyone else on this team.

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
With Soft Dave out of the game we extend the lead to 11 at halftime. He plays most of the 2nd half and we lose. No defense, no rebounds and can't make a 2-ft shot. Horrible.

Talking about the choke jobs. Pretty prevalent under Bill. Of course that means we also smashed the regular season.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:47 pmYeah, when I was 17. For one year.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:44 pmBecause you’re a KU basketball fan. It has been much worse.

Soft. I am sure he isn’t going after Coach. But he is hot.
Re: KU at Texas Official Game thread
And again, this applies to very much everyone else on the team, from players who think they can go coast to coast but are too slow ( Garrett ) or players who think it's good to shoot deep 3's with 27 on the shot clock ( Ochai ) or players who just plain turn the ball over ( Wilson ).Mjl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:47 pmDave loses us possessions that don't show up in the numbers.
