Moss could play tonight. If not then it seems like next week would be his debut since the Hawks have a week off after this.
-
This is going to be a tough game tonight. Self says they only watched tape Wednesday and had 1 day to prep for a team that won 29 games last year. Looks like they will press KU and use their shot blocker in the middle to make things difficult. I expect this one to be sort of an ugly game
-
I’d press KU too after that Duke performance.
-
@wrwlumpy Fondue! Where are the strawberries?
-
@wrwlumpy That’s neat! I wonder if they do that year round or if that was just a one time thing.

Imagine if KU has been playing against a good defense, it would’ve been ugly. With that many unforced turnovers…Kansas completely beat themselves. It’ll be ok, Self teams usually look rough until after the Christmas break.
-
@dylans I think Duke did a great job and executed their defensive gameplan.
-
At home in the season opener KU should still pull out a comfortable win here. However after the first game, short prep and playing a team that changes it’s defensive style of play, has athletes to compete and is a winning program of late I think that’s the recipe for seeing a closer then expected game. I hope we show up and take them seriously and respond positively.
-
I could see this game being played within a tighter point window than many would expect.
-
Vegas currently has KU winning by 15-1/2 with an over/under of 144

Just raising the awareness that the team we’re playing on short prep is better then their name. Has all the makings of a game we expect to win by 30-40 but likely could be a single digit or game KU is having to work hard for

Exactly.

OK guys , is being talked about on the local sports broadcast off WIBW , about the line up’ s of KU and talking about different things with it. - -Here is the thing , and I know ALOT will not agree with this - -But I can see it - -I thought about if before myself -I pretty much agree with it and that is:
Like these guys said - - They truly think and I do to that by the time Feb rolls around – that IF he can absorb everything - - then Jalen Wilson would be the perfect flex 4 - -a guy that could step out on the floor play in space - -I felt this way when I found out that he was transferring to us from Michigan. - ALOT better then Silvio or Dave at that position - -neither of those guys going to be able to hit with any consistency at all anything over 8-10 ft away from rim - -Jalen more mobile, again he has to be able to grasp the whole concept = =With Jalen can he can knock down 3’s take a guy further away from the basket forces to guard out further - -with Doke & Dave - -OR Doke And Silvio - - gonna run into a lot of times where teams still going to be able to double up on Doke - -they pose no threat far from the hoop.
He is the best option for that spot - -I know – I know a lot won’t agree but tossing it out anyways - -with what we got right now - - the spacing is terrible - way to congested
-
This will a super tight game, with their pressure, it wouldn’t surprised me if we lost. Can’t have 28 turnovers. They pressure us and probably pack the paint with a zone and dare us to shoot.
-
@kjayhawks wonder if Bill learned his lesson. Jacking threes is so much better than trying to force buckets down low. Even like 32% from three on a high volume would be fantastic if it meant low turnover numbers.
-
It’s better to jack 3s when your bigs cant make layups or dunk the ball at 7 feet. That play where they missed 4 shots at the rim cannot happen. Ever
-
@BeddieKU23 if Bill tries to play the same way no doubt Greensboro will employ a similar defensive strategy. They may not have the horses to pull off a win but I would be disappointed if Bill didn’t adapt at all.
-
I expect to see a halfway decent effort enough to win but I think we will be disappointed in the fact game 1 was so bad and they may not be able to completely fix their issues and get a comfortable win. I want to be wrong. Maybe some home cooking helps
-
4 Guard line up = largest lead of the night… how long Bill? It’s 2019

FACTS. Needs to just go with it the rest of the year.
-
@BShark it opened up the lane and was the best offense in 2 games for those few minutes.
-
What’s this duke shi!

mentioned we only had 4 turnovers so that’s better anyways
-
Notice 4 guards much better ball movement and largest lead. Almost as if it’s better, my god we made 3 straight elite 8s and a final four with it.

Part of Belicheck’s brilliance is that he doesn’t.
-
Just NIGHT and DAY difference - - smooth , smooth , smooth. - -also with 4 out - - better ball handlers - - you can see better control of ball
-
So much room for doke with them having to respect the 3
-
Getting a little lazy on D here.
-
much less cluttered with this line up - - -can’t afford to double
-
@BShark that whole organization is light years ahead of the rest
-
Enaruna is a killer
-
Enaruna is a nice surprise thus far. I thought Braun would be better, but still early.
-
I think we found how we should play - -but you never know
