Elmarko was supposed to be better than this.

Self has to take a big L for not prepping us vs the zone.
It wasn't just on the players not executing - they just didn't seem ready for that switch.

The biggest thing was that we didn't appear to have a plan to get Hunter the fucking ball - which is sorta absurd when you have a guy that pretty much comes out of the zone-buster factory.

I think Hunter did a terrible job of actively getting himself in position to receive the ball. It seemed like he was floating around the perimeter setting screens more than he was fighting for post position. I just don't see him down there battling for good post position like many of our previous KU bigs.

this team will go as far as HD can take us.

He was also directing traffic (off the ball) more than I've seen. I am a very limited basketball knower - I don't know if he was doing something wrong, or if other people were, or both. Probably both.

I know that on-court chaos is ultimately Bill's responsibility...and should really not happen with a veteran team like this.

It's subtle, but he's very good at getting position. That's why he is such a good scorer despite not being super "athletic".
