Baylor Game
-
Line is at 9… I wonder when was the last time KU was almost a 10 point dog.
Self with 6 days to prepare off a loss. You know he’s ready.
It all comes down to guard play. Their 4 guards are significantly better then KU’s. It’s just reality. Hopefully we can force them to play bad. Big “pride” game tonight
-
I hope our boys are fully soul juiced by Self. Let’s go Bill!
-
It will take a monster effort from our guys with total focus. If they can do that we have a chance. I haven’t seen our offense handle real pressure well all year. What happens when the perimeter is well-guarded? Our guys haven’t shown they are far along enough to take advantage of what defenses give. Tight perimeter pressure? Try feeding the David in the low post. Try driving the ball and pushing contact and fouls. Try setting high ball screens, off-ball screens. Try shot, ball and direction fakes. There are opportunities available no matter what they face, but that have to realize what they are and execute.
I’m thinking our ability to take care of the rock will be a huge deciding factor in this game. Along with FG%.
-
about the ONE thing that will help tonight if anything - -not having to play in a packed arena. this is not a good match up mis matches in multiple spots, i like my boys BUT who really thinks with the way we have played so inconsistent erratic who all here thinks we win this game ? - -Sorry to say not me. Our shooting % sucks last I checked 44 % really low for a Bill Self team. game going to be to fast for Dave tonight I think not much of a factor, going to be another case of being out athleted… - - Who knows maybe get a break
-
Baylor’s defense has looked the best. I’m still skeptical they are elite because they have played only 2 teams all season that are any good but with Mitchell ball hawking and Vital flopping in the post all game its really tough to get them sped up on that end. They actually make the game boring to watch because of their defense.
If KU doesn’t stop them from getting good looks from 3 and on offense doesn’t make at least 50% of their shots I don’t see this going our way. Guys have to make shots and make them at a high level. Rebounds and turnovers are the next biggest keys
-
If we can get Scott Drew REALLY involved in the X’s and O’s and not let his players just play - we have a pretty good shot.
-
@BeddieKU23 Vital is Marcus Smart 2.0. I cant stand floppers! There’s no honor in that type of play.

It’s been a while since Smart was playing so my memory forgets sometimes about him but I haven’t been irked by a player’s antics as much as Vital since Smart. Seen about 6-7 Baylor games this year and its the same crap every single game and its rewarded. He’s 240 pounds of muscle and falls like a flapjack. I think he got a flop warning in the Tech game on a basket. Haven’t seen many refs use their power to stop him.
-
He got warned and maclung both got the flop warning. First I’ve seen this year in college.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 McClung is a tool

I think a lot is just about want to. - -we just got to get into their shorts defensively. We have done it in the past , no reason it can’t be done again. - we up them about 3 in rebounding - - -actually block more shots - - - -TO’S are a wash KU 12.9 - Baylor 12.3 - -BUT here is huge they by far are shooting the ball better 50.2/44.3 - -& 3 pt 42.3/36 - -Baylor, thats where the want to comes in we just got to get nasty and play really hard extra effort other wise we come out play half ass - - they bury us. - -Huge for Braun to come out and get off to a good start , hit his first couple of shots - - also Huge for Wilson to come out of that mini slump - -guess that’s why we play them right ? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
We come out hungry, they come out tight. Whose back has a target on it right now? Kansas by 2!
-
Here is another lil tidbit kind of interesting : - - KU is an 8 1/2 point underdog in this game tonight , last time that happened was in 2000 to Duke in the tourney --Highest in Coach Self era, should be some MoJo for the guys. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m feeling good about tonight not having to play this game on short rest.
-
Baylor by 1 million
-
Let’s go #Jayhawks!!!
-
I do love that we are borderline top ten in our down year while the other blue bloods are crashing out of the top 25.
-
Wish I could be more optimistic, but I feel a blowout coming on, even with Dave stepping up his game.
-
C’mon guys. Have faith
-
“Kansas is hard to defend” wut? Seth on the good shit.

This is a game for Tristan to show himself!
-
Higgins
-
This officiating crew sucks. There i said it
-
Here we goooo
-
Oh man.
-
-
Guess they slept through the scouting report
-
Oh there’s that flopping shithead
-
Get a rebound!
-
Good rebound attempt Dave. You watched
-
At least we don’t have to look at the ugly highlighter unis
-
Just don’t get embarrassed tonight boys
-
Soft hands nice Dave
-
Wow a pass
-
-
I mean if you need to be told to guard Butler just get on the plane now
-
Bad drive equals a bad shot
-
Bill needs to commit to the race to 100 and start playing Harris.
-
Whatever defensive scheme we cooked up in 6 days. Scrap it.
-
Scott Drew is wearing a rain coat. Make it rain fellas
-
Completely outmatched
-
Dislike for Vital rising…
-
Lightfoot could have dunked. Instead we got a brick
-
-
Ochai all we got
-
Hey 3 > 2. Do it again.
-
I want Harris.
-
I see John Higgins brought his usual KU whistle tonight.
-
Who even gets minutes on the Baylor team from our roster? Serious question
