[KUTradition]

it’s only the genius that can achieve such results while not giving a fuck

[pdub]

Dickinson had a nice game. I hope that didn't ruin pdub's day.

No KU won me money so good job 2 million dollar man!

[TDub]

I know we really seemed to take care of the ball but was it really only 2!?

a Kansas record

I wonder if Furphy keeps starting

he came out strong but ended the game on the bench

[pdub]

I think they ran a play for Jackson - or he recognized he had the green light to beat his man early - with that 16-18 foot jumper.

[ousdahl]

Yea.

Tho yea I dunno if that was a designed play or Elmarko just making it happen.

If he gets a jumper going, oh man.

But I envision him more as a slasher. Let’s run a play with an angle for him to catch the pass (or just get by his guy cuz he can), fake one way 2 hard dribbles the other way then leap toward the rim.

And if he gets that and a jumper going, oh man oh man.

I’m also pretty sure he’s currently our 5th best defender?

[TDub]

probably 4th. Hunter isn't a good defender. He did have 5 blocks yesterday though.

[pdub]

I think Hunter is better than I thought he would be. I wouldn’t have issue saying he’s our 4th best defender at the moment.

You should let Self know. You make it sound super easy.

I think that's true. And solely due to him being coachable and having the experience to understand how to work off the 3 really good defenders around him.

Non smart ass response:

Almost every single "play"/action we run on offense gives him opportunities to "slash". Self isn't an idiot. If it were as easy as drawing it up on a clipboard he'd have done it.

He is not a good shooter (yet), which we knew coming in. He isn't going to magically become a good shooter overnight. He needs what almost all freshman need, which is a sophomore year (especially the off season in between). You don't improve at things overnight. Takes time, hardword, and coaching.

[pdub]

Seriously if we cut the turnovers to under 12 every game we will be a top 5 team.

[TDub]

yes. turnovers are such a huge key.

Jumped to 38th in AdjO.

[pdub]

Yup.
Makes sense, good output v a high ranked defensive team.
This, according to metrics, was our best win beyond Tennessee ( not just in terms of getting a W, otherwise that’s UConn, but output vs difficulty ).


Keep it up Hawks.
