Ok so what about if their 5 man is manhandling Mitch on the block but can’t stay in front of Jalen on the perimeter?

then you run a man to the top of the paint to pull their 5 away from the bucket

you don’t have to feed the post, just the paint

if JW is our 5, i’d wager the opposition goes zone (or at least that’s what i’d do to deal with match-up problems)

OU planning on guarding Wilson with a chair?

I dunno.

I just keep going back to that first half against Texas, and how that Jalen at the 5 lineup yielded the best ball movement of the year - and points off turnovers too!

how’d that lineup do scoring the half court?

i honestly don’t remember

ball movement is great so long as you do something with it ( ;) )

yeah, that’s why we recruited Dick.

But for real, how am I the only one who remembers going small and being up as many as 14 on the horns?!

because we went small in the second half and blew the lead.

I'm guessing we go small ~15 minutes against OU.

I hope we play well.

When we focus on rebounding, and early possession post defense, those small lineups tend to do well.

Does anyone happen to have the rotations in that second half?

Cuz I remember slowly pissing away our lead, but mostly cuz we went cold offensively again.

I don’t remember exactly what lineup/s were in. But generally, it just seems going small is a more energetic lineup than trying to go through the post

I think going small brings up your energy.

it also generally means your taking more, lower percentage shots

The lead was still 9 when DMac left with about 14 min left in 2nd.

Lost the lead after that.

Does anyone know if they tested positive or is this just some contact tracing BS?

KU/Self declined to answer that question.

Doesn't really matter as either way they need 7 straight negative tests and then they're good to go.

So who came in for DMac?

And what lineup was in down the stretch that could never re-establish a lead?

Is that the real policy?

Cuz can’t you still test positive for weeks even after you’re not contagious?

And what to do with a false positive?

That's the policy the NCAA set in order to be eligible to play in the NCAAT.
