Agbaji and Braun both are not playmakers outside of transition. It's rare that either player successfully breaks their defender down in the halfcourt, which leads to some really sluggish offense, given the other issues on the roster.

OA and CB would be ideal #2 and #3 options, but because of (I guess) the NCAA investigation we are really limited talent wise so they are #1 and #2 (or #1 and #3 depending on where you slot Dave). I like telling Jeff Goodman to eat a dick as much as the next guy, but he's right about the talent level currently at KU.

I expect us to rally and beat OU, but this team's flaws are on full display.

Be careful, some one here will say you’re wrong, even though we can all see this is pretty much spot on.

Yes, griping about this being the problem while having the third most efficient offense in the country is wrong.

We have 1 great college player (Och), 2 really good college players (CB and JW) and then a bunch of average college players...and yet we are fighting for a 1 seed. Look at the teams ranked ahead of us and the talent on those rosters. I think Self and our guys are having a good season. We get hot next month and the first week of April and we will end up with a chance at something special. It won't be pretty, but this team can win multiple ways.

Yes.

We seem to be becoming a team that can loose multiple ways too.

OU is not as good as the teams we'll face on day 2 of the tournament. We play like we did yesterday and we are out in the field if 32.

It seems like a few on here can’t understand this logic.

Do I think we can make a nice run in the tourney? I do, but being honest I can’t see us making a deep run. OU is not a really good team. And it pretty much took everything we had to get the W, in Allen.

This team still has a lot of the same struggles as last year, the biggest one being that they struggle against teams that are long and athletic.
