Tristan out
Re: Tristan out
“We will be tiny.” Haunk and Marcus as depth at the 5. But still hope to run things through Mitch.

Re: Tristan out
It’s all confusing as hell. If you tested positive at some point you’re no longer contagious. So is that based on number of days post positive test or consecutive days testing positive? Someone could test positive for 2 weeks straight, may not be contagious, right?

Re: Tristan out
I mean, if you tested positive March 9, there's no way you're testing negative ten days in a row by March 19. I swear, this tourney is getting bumbled worse than last year.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 1:53 pmAssuming negative test per day, every day.vega wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 1:40 pmSo it's just 10 days after you test positive?

March 12: Jalen tests positive. Needs 10 days to join bubble in Indy (March 22, Monday).
March 14: Enaruna tests positive. Needs 10 days to join bubble in Indy (March 24, Wednesday).

Why is it more important for TGF to get clock than it is for our actual rotation players to get clock?ousdahl wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:16 pmJust going for devil’s advocate downer pity here, but I wonder what this team would have looked like with TGIF getting mire clock during that January loosing streak when everyone else was suddenly so cool with just standing aroundCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:13 pm TGF having a role this year was pretty predictable. I thought it would be a lot because of his NBA athleticism and a little bit because of COVID. Turns out, a lot because of COVID but had to have him all the same. Wish there would have been more time for him to get some clock.
Self tried to give TGF clock and he was awful. There is more to basketball than being athletic. TGF was lost on offense, we couldn't run our full arsenal of plays. Self would have likely overlooked that, but he was equally lost on defense/defensive rotations. Self gave him a chance. Multiple chances.
It's so funny. We have a mediocre team by Kansas standards. We had a rough patch. We worked through it and ended up closing strong and getting a 3 seed. And people still think Self didn't do things right with rotations because they know more having watched zero practice minutes. Self knows when players mess up plays or are lost. We can't always see that from TV as easily.
CB Och Wilson MG and DMac all also benefit from game minutes together. So giving minutes to TGF for the hell of it costs someone higher on the depth chart those minutes. If TGF was better then he'd play more. The best players play the minutes. I trust that Self can identify his best players.
Re: Tristan out
Hi illy! Hope you’re around more. We could use you in the rotation here on the boreds. It’s tournament time and we might have to go deep into the bench.

Re: Tristan out
Right or wrong, Self said we need him now and he's going to play in a tournament game.

Re: Tristan out
Might free him up a bit honestly. He looks a little lost now that he's asked to do things he's probably never had to do. I have to assume he had the ball in his hands a lot in iso situations in juco and that's just probably not going to be his role here.

Re: Tristan out
Starting 5 Sat?
Garrett
Agbaji
Braun
Thompson
Lightfoot
Bench
Harris
McCormack (limited minutes?)
Not ideal...
This team is going to have to avoid foul trouble and play some really good basketball.
Och needs to have Wayne Selden type performances...

Those were some nasty lineups...then maybe some Travis/Teahaunkey at the 4 but more sparingly?
Then we had Wiggs who woulda been a monster at the 4 but hardly did it, I guess cuz Perry Ellis.
Fast forward to this year, when the roster was specifically built for small ball but still spent much of the season feeding the post anyway
Russell Robinson
Sherron Collins
Mario Chalmers
Brandon Rush

that was probably the best lineups weve ever seen on the floor from a pure talent standpoint

Re: Tristan out
Self made it sound like depends on when the game is. Early game, probably not, late game, he’s a bit more likely.
I still don’t know if he plays this first weekend.
