Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
How good could we be if Ochai was at least good? Not great but good
Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
HCBS left him in for 39 minutes today. He must have done something right.

Ochai is always active on D.
That helps.
Self also knows out very best is with a top notch Chai.
He’s still looking for it.

Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
Did you just call him chai?
Cuz if so, dude needs a mean streak and be dirty chai.
I think he could do it too, but it’s gonna take a shot or two of espresso.

Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
he was frustrating at times tho. I wouldn't have hated braun getting some of those minutes. any time ochai tried to dribble baylor was up on him looking to steal it. he couldnt keep mark vital off the boards or out of the paint. that dude is a monster of a guard tho.
but yeah i had higher hopes for agbaji than what he have seen from him. he's a good college player. understands his role. he can just be passive at times. might need a little more confidence. upside is still there tho hoping he breaks out

Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
To me, Ochai has been the biggest disappointment of the year(a year with few disappointments for KU). While he has had stretches of very good play, he is just very inconsistent and passive. To me he is a clear case of needing more experience and the confidence that brings. I doubt he improves dramatically by season end from what he is now(ala Malik), but next season could be an amazing year for him.
Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
My hope is that Ochai has that Wayne Selden improvement from year 2 to year 3...

We've beaten 2 and 4 and I'd love another shot at 7.
Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
If any team scares me going into March, it’s creighton.
Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
Generally speaking, the only type of team I'd rather not see is one with a dynamic, mobile big guy (like Dayton).
No guards scare me. No 5s scare me.

Re: AP/Kenpom 2019-20
I'd rather not play Baylor because they are by far the 2nd best team in the country, have no bad losses, and they curbstomped us at home.
I can handle everyone else because of our wide margin for error. Even Udoka's body improvement makes me less worried for the dynamic big guy than I would have been in other years.

They beat us by more points at our place.
They have one fewer loss.
That'd be the only justification I could see.
