Good thing we play Tuesday. Need a quick turnaround.

Do we? Och looks tired.

[randylahey]

This is exactly who KU was last year with the difference being an uptick in Och’s scoring.

Yep. You are correct sir. Self brought in more athletic more skilled transfers but never really played the because they don't understand his system as well as the returning guys

Jimmies and Joes over Xs and Os. This is no different. Fuck the system. Adjust. Self had 2 great seasons recently in 2018 and 2020. Both were spread attacks that had guys who could win off the dribble. This team has a guy that can do that, but we’ve turned him into Nadiir Tharpe.

Selfs a system coach. Sometimes his stubbornness stifles creativity

Correct. As weird as this sounds, ku just isn't very athletic and not very good defensively this year

I think he/we hoped they were more skilled than they really ended up being. On a good team Remy is an average player. He wouldn't be a standout on a team like UK Duke Purdue etc either.

I definitely ride KJ as our starting 5 here on out. I’m done with Dave.

[pdub]

The real story might be DMac again, though. This was a big personal challenge and really didn’t respond to the challenge. Probably his last season.

Here’s you saying this was Remys team just months ago.
lol.

KJ is the only one with heart tonight

Not necessarily over Dave. But quicker to go to KJ when shit looks bad.

[Sparko]

DMAC has played like ass. He is a bench talent.

[hoopla]

Brooks a career high. Nigel Pack a career high. Where’s the pride from our defense this season? It’s embarrassing to have to play zone this much.

It’s to the point self needs to consider a permanent move to it.

Not a big team.

I still like our chances.

You mean tonite? Pfft. March then? We just gotta get better.

Really depressing to see the limitations of this team, but they've been obvious for a while.

We play Harris and Dave a bunch of minutes and they both really, really suck. Remy, my personal favorite, is like a fourth of the player I expected. His limitations, Yes' limitations, and the fact that we're trotting out a 28 year old big makes us overly dependent on Dave and Harris. That simply isn't good enough.

Maybe we get hot at the right time. We'll have to because we can't stop anyone. It won't surprise me if we get blown out in the second round again.

Bad fans leaving.

Probably twocoach.

Nice catch Yesufu.

[sdoyel]

Yesufu can’t get out of his own way.

[NewtonHawk11]

Bad fans leaving.

Probably twocoach.

This team deserves that shit. Pathetic.

It may come down to whether or not Och just gets hot as shit over a couple weekends.

Nope.

You never leave early. Never.

[NewtonHawk11]

Worst game for KU in like 20+ years. This is Villanova in a snowy Philly in 2004 type of whooping.

[sdoyel]

17/14 for Big O

Little O MIA

Yeah that’s what it reminds me of. That team was exposed and never got better.

I want to know where nba scouts see the “killer instinct” from CB. That’s supposedly what has catapulted him into the first round. Have they watched him play the last month?

He won’t shoot and part of me thinks he has the yips. Look at how slow his 3pt release is and how flat the shot has gotten.
