This is the team that beat UK, Tennessee, Connecticut an Indiana?
Defense. Rebounds.

Hard to believe you can blow a 16 point lead against a team of that caliber.

McCullar is forcing offense out of necessity, but otherwise we’re typically fielding at least 4 guys who looked terrified to have the ball in their hands. Our assist rate is so high because we have 0 players who can create off the dribble.

We lost to 3-3 Dayton on a neutral court just two seasons ago.

This loss sucks because we blew a 16 point lead and just gave the ball away every possession but that Dayton loss is on paper worse than this.

After Eastern Illinois, nothing should surprise us. They lost their shit in a crazy environment.

Yep.
But it wasn’t their offense that got them back in it…it was their defense and our inability to make routine plays.

The play that broke our back was the three that went 75 feet in the air. House money. They never draw fans. Still, Kansas would have lost to a lot of teams tonight.

Hunter not hustling or caring.
Dajuan getting his flat three pointers blocked.
McCullar trying behind the back dribbles and turning it over.
Bill Self not finding a solve for a 3:2 zone.

You lucky man. The largest student body in America had a different place to puke after watching a strange sport in a gym that looked like Hickory.

An embarrassing performance. With a 16 point lead, it was looking like a blowout in the making. They shit themselves in the second half, UCF packed the paint and KU couldn’t buy a basket. Just terrible. A home loss vs OU is looming if they don’t right the ship.

If I were OU I’d be practicing zone all day today and tomorrow.

I just checked the box score on ESPN.

Did Elmarko get hurt in the first 5 minutes of the game? His stat line seems pretty empty.

I know I asked this before, but why is he on the floor at the start of the game? I know comparisons are odious, but I am getting serious Marquez Valdes-Scantling vibes here.

The good thing is that this might be a get your shit together accountability loss. But it is so tiresome being everyone's bonus game.

Reminds me of the years when Self burns a redshirt or plays a walk on. While Elmarko learns to play within himself

He’s a better defender than Furphy…but Furphy might take that starting spot eventually.

A good Elmarko is best for our peak team though this season…he’s been very underwhelming so far for a top recruit.

Can't expect to win turning the ball around 20 times in conference play
