@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games:
UCLA will miss Cody Riley in this game, but I’m still going UCLA by 5.
Fully prepared for Gonzaga to win by 20 now.
Okay forget this. I was wrong
-
If we ever get Gonzaga in the tourny, I think we should play mostly really small. Dave can’t score on or stop Chet. Jalen can play the PJ Tucker kind of physical and undersized 5 man where Chet would have to chase him around all day. Ditto Timme and Och or Braun. We can’t stop them anyway. Might as well try our best to score more
-
I don’t know who matches up well with Gonzaga. Maybe Purdue or Baylor? We definitely do not.
-
I honestly thought UCLA would come out strong, even without Riley, given the memory of last year’s game. Not showing much of anything. At least they stopped the bleeding…for now.
-
Gonzaga. Jesus!
-
Nobody can matchup with Chet in the College game. Just the reality
-
I’m tellin you not gonna lie , just straight up I didn’t watch the entire thing but when I was - -Gonzaga looked Scary god at long periods of times - -smooth as silk I dunno who match up with that
-
Time to call Joey Buttafuoco

Lol… I eat my words. You’re right. The guy is bigtime skilled. Jesus, when he gains weight and muscle, look out!

Well I know people aren’t going to want to hear this— may not agree with this but I have to say it anyways - I think this year that Kentucky might just be some better then last year. , actually quite a bit better , hey I’m not to proud to admit it – they better - - they better that’s all. - -It’s gonna be a pretty good match up when we meet them in the Bi2 12/Sec challenge. Of course they are already starting with the whiner excuse if we win, How the Refs favor us so badly at the Phog - -they are already getting that out there 5 on 8 they said. - Talking about how at least 2-3 of there guys will be in foul trouble by the 1st TV time out lol
-
Tarleton hung tough with Michigan.
ISU lookin good with a real coach.

Kentucky - so far, from what I’ve seen - is tougher than last year. And they had damn well better be, with that lineup? Sorry, I’ve never been impressed with Cal as a coach, just haven’t - Top 5 classes every year but laying yet another egg?
-
How about them Badgers?

Iowa State got a nice win
-
Holy shit, refs just shit housed UConn. They are now down 1 to MSU after a terrible call.
-
@BShark Msu benefited from some strange ones yesterday too including a guy and the floor getting up with the ball and beginning to dribble… and scoring.
-
Bama down in flames against Iona. No “chalk” final for this tournament.

might be a good thing if we play like we did today. gotta do better
-
KU was good today when it mattered. Not remotely worried as it was a 20 point win before putting in the walk-ons.
-

I don’t like that because Alabama was probably going to be the only ranked team KU played before conference play started. This is going to end up being a pretty weak non-confernce schedule for KU.
-
I’m with you it would have been a more interesting test athletically.
-
Kind of bummed that Alabama lost because now we don’t get to play them. But also lol Alabama
-
Michigan St winning today was nice. Also happy to see Dan Hurley lose. Can’t stand that guy
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich it might’ve been nice for our RPI, but the refs took that game from UConn
-
Flo Thamba the new floppa for Baylor. Keeping the torch alive for Vital
-
I think I want Baylor to win because we play them at least twice and they’re in the B12, but I wouldn’t be devastated if Michigan St won today
-
UNT is rolling Miami. Could Larrañaga’s days be numbered? His last winning season and tournament appearance was 2017-18.

North Texas is fuego from 3. Thank God we dodged that bullet
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I love the way Bill has this team defending threes. They don’t always execute it and it’s my main worry about Zach (we can’t execute it at all with him in there and gave up open looks when he played) but the plan is very good.
-
I mean listening to Self’s comments this season, he seems to be preaching defense. I still thought we gave up some pretty wide-open looks from 3 to North Texas.
-
The goal is to switch everything with most line-ups. Bobby is also lost on D still. Our best line-up currently is Remy, CB, Och, Jalen, Dave or Mitch. When Dave is right mentally it’s him. There is probably a small gain defensively with Dajuan over Remy in that line-up but it loses a lot on offense. Opposing coaches are going to ask their players to just completely ignore Dajuan. He gets into a good position and most players in college basketball would score and then he doesn’t even take the shot.
-
The defense is not nearly where it will need to be to beat good teams. Rebounding especially is another big issue. Good problems to have because both tend to get locked in as we go

Agree. I am more worried when we can’t score and the offensive efficiency of this team is pretty damn good when they don’t turn it over (or give Dave the ball currently).
Rebounding is…well Remy led the team in rebounds yesterday. CB and Jalen I think will be our main rebounders. Dave is just terrible at it.
-
Baylor pulling away. Kind of looks like our game against MSU.
Larranaga heard you @BShark
-
Yeah Sparty thought the game was 20 minutes
-
During the Baylor-MSU game, the 2022 Atlantis field was announced and KU will be headed out there with Butler, BYU, Dayton, NC State, Tennessee, USC, and Wisconsin. That’s a damn good field.
-
Christie came to College with a big time rep for shooting and he couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn in every game I’ve seen of him
-
Definitely a good field
-
The game ahead of ours, Miami-UNT is tied at 59 with about 3 minutes left.
-
And Charlie Moore apparently is still around at Miami and scored their final two points and had 16 total today.
-
Baylor looked really good today, especially in the 2nd half.

Dave is terrible at everthing right now

The Big 12 is going to be a great battle this year between Kansas, Baylor, and Texas.

Agree - - gonna be a real dog fight between those 3
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich really think UCONN would have been able to matchup better. Had the athletes to compete.
-
Good grief more fts
-
KU women only down 3 at halftime to Tennessee.
-
Pretty easy to figure out why KU women lost tonight bad formula : - -you shoot 30.8 fg % – turn the ball over 15 times - - get out rebounded by 17 and Tennessee gets 13 more shot attempts. - -Any time a team can get up right at 80 shots in a game good chance of winning Tennessee shot 78 times, not gonna win very many playing like that lost 68-58
-
@jayballer67 It’s actually pretty impressive the women only lost by 10 to a team like Tennessee considering how bad they’ve been in recent years.
-
Duke hot.
Bill would pull Banchero right about now because of defense or something.
