It's early, but much like the 08 team and the 12 team, this team is learning how to win close games even when they play poorly.
That's a valuable trait come march/april.
Those FTs tho
Ya. Ugly. I feel okay about Och at the line though and he's the only 1 who was bad tonight from the line.

True.
But really good teams don't win all their games on the last possession. Really good teams usually win by a larger margin, and can put teams away.

No doubt.
This team definitely isn't as good as some of our great teams because we don't have a consistent inside presence offensively or defensively. And we don't have an elite PG. But we've got a NPOY candidate and two guys in CB and JW who impact all aspects of the game.
We can win 6 straight with these guys.

That game in Manhattan had a Hell of an impact on legs. Och admitted he was on fumes. He didn't even get a FT attempt until late in the game. Thank God he mustered the will to hit that clutch three.

These guys need a couple days of complete rest.

Harris ended up 2-10 tonight. I think he missed 7 layups. Rough. Has to get better. Has to.

No Remy, Mitch or DMac in the last 10 minutes.
KJ with some good minutes.
Rough game for CB.

CB is 7 for his last 27 from 3. Needs to get it going again.

He literally was too small today. Gutsy dude. But Tech has hybrid bigs everywhere. Kansas might need to rethink the lineup if we play again.

Wilson had 11 boards. He was really good tonight within the offense. Didn’t do anything to hurt us IMO.

Harris was bad. Really bad.
Remy was decent.
Why didnt Remy play more?
KJ had a lot of energy and I think we were just throwing things at Williams. Of course he goes bonkers again.
I dont think that was a goaltend on either end. DMac got mugged at the end of the first and the second to no call.
Ochai can be legendary.

CB was 15/7/6 not that bad. His shot will return.

100% truth.
Close games with inferior opponents in March is what has screwed KU teams in the past. Close games are great...if you win...the last 3 games have been exciting, but the Dayton games sucked balls.

Listening to KJ post-game. I like him.

He won the game at the line too. I sensed the closeouts and overplays got into his head tonight. Plus he is worn out like all the starters from the Octogon of Loons game

Not Brauns best as he clanked some open threes that mighta put the game away.
Still sank two big FTs.
Ochai was almost perfect except from the line.
Also, shut up Fran.

Remy takes too many chances.
