Kudos to those that watched til the end. Sounds like they gave what they got but couldn’t execute in the last 5 minutes. Foul Trouble in the front court is a major issue. The refs sucked but this is not a disciplined team when it comes to fouls.

Tiller has fouled out in both games against P4 competition. Flory has 3 or more fouls in all but 1 game so far and makes a lot of careless fouls that take him out of the game.

It sure looks like we only have 7 players if we ever get Peterson back. Elmarko and Mari are unplayable imo. Neither has developed a lick here.

@wissox

We might never know. All he does is foul

When you play that lineup that’s what you get

Mbiya looks 18 feet tall

Nice job white

Commendable 15 minutes. Now we see if they have fight or quit in them

Fouls racking up they are getting tired

Yikes Council. Not good

Like clock work flory in foul trouble

Love that. Heck of a play by dawson

Criminal that elmarko stops driving for a bad mid range every time.

Tre White has stepped up so far

So far so good

@Zabudda

Yeah Carr has insane bounce to him, sometimes it doesn’t even look real

@bskeet

Yikes, the defense is supposed to carry them… ha

@rockchalkjayhawk

We can hope Flory would try and keep himself on the floor but it’s been an issue in every game pretty much so far. The key is the first half with him

@nuleafjhawk

Not tonight he was already ruled out as expected. I tried lol

@Jhawk69

Yeah Boozer so far is looking like an exceptional leader for a freshman. Not missing a beat from last years freshman leader.

@rockchalkjayhawk

Based on his recent usage it would seem Mbiya is an emergency use only. I expect foul trouble and his size to matchup as potentially using him for his 5 fouls. It is what it is there.

They are young just like we are. They have 5 stars as young’s though and a few returning 5 star guys that are now much improved.

Size wise they don’t have anyone under 6’4.

I can’t lie this is probably the least excited I’ve been for a Duke Matchup in my life.

No Darryn (unless some hamstring miracle happens). That means we are short our best player and best offensive weapon. Why does it matter? Well, for one, the supporting cast looks offensively challenged without him. Currently Kenpom/Torvik have this as somewhere near #50th best offense. If that trend continues this will mark the 3rd consecutive season finishing outside the Top 50 on offense which is very alarming. Scoring the ball has been the main issue in my eyes the past few seasons and so far it doesn’t look like we’ll break that trend with or without Peterson.

Duke is rated #2 on both sites mentioned above and Top 10 in both Offense/Defense. Vegas has Duke as a 10pt favorite (maybe more by tip) and that kind of feels low considering KU is down a 20+ pt scorer and its most important player. This a bad matchup for KU in just about every way possible. Boozer & Ngongba will really test the front court in similar ways UNC did, maybe more. We have undersized Tre White and a freshman Tiller to guard Boozer and that shouldn’t excite anyone.

It is an opportunity for the team to step up on a neutral court with all the eyes on them and being the underdog. KU has a 5-game win streak in this classic (9-5 overall record) so Self tends to have a prepared bunch so we’ll see if they can hang tonight. It seems unlikely but all we can do is hope for the team to come together and prove a point.

He’s close to the worst guard that’s played here. Stats would agree too. Needs to go down a level

Bidunga really stepped up and saved this game on both ends. Great energy and confidence finishing plays

Council and Elmarko are complete non shooters. Hard to believe

Tre White with a good game

Nice one from Dawson. Need that from him

Council sure likes to hear the ball pound. Very disappointing from him today

Freshman playing like Freshman

Vintage KU

He has been impressive on defense as well. He can guard all 5 positions

Jeesh Flory

Wow that was nice

Flory with a few good baskets

Look like a bubble team at best

Same Princeton team that was blown out by Akron

Maybe that will wake them up

Defenses already playing us the same as always. Dont have to guard the point guard cause he cant shoot and doesn’t have vision

Council is awful

We all should be concerned that the “star player” of the team making millions has only played 1 full game out of 5 (soon to be 6).

There’s a lot more to say but frankly it’s not worth my time. I’ll root for the players that actually play. Hopefully he will be back soon.

@kjayhawks

All we can do is hope for improvement and for the best. An opportunity for them to rise to the occasion against a good team. I will be pleasantly surprised if it’s a close game given what I’ve seen of both. If DP Doesn’t play or is limited once again it’s going to be rough for us fans…

@Kcmatt7

Accurate recap

@kjayhawks

If he doesn’t play, it likely won’t be a competitive game.

Self said after the game Peterson’s hamstring was tight after practice yesterday morning and they decided not to chance it for whatever that’s worth!

Tiller is exciting

Nice plays by Council. He has to play aggressive all the time. Good things happen

@BShark

That is true, forgot about that

@wissox

I mean they are playing the 260th ranked team at home so they should win with or without

@Gorilla72

Doubt we will know until tip with how they choosing to disclose injury info with him.

What a mess

@approxinfinity

Mbiya is so big. Good touch at the free throw line which is surprising. He needs to play. That size is worth giving opportunity

Gee is better then Elmarko so why not play him

The drive to the hoop is open all night with how they are hedging screens. Pound it
